Description

The invention relates to the field of rescue and evacuation of people and equipment in emergency situations.

The well-known “Evacuation and rescue container”, containing the bottom made as a whole from a flexible sheet with a bed for the victim, the sides and valves with cutouts between them, ensuring their movement relative to the bottom and relative to each other, belts for tightening the sides and valves into the container, fastening belts the victim to the container, the cable and handles associated with the container and ensuring its movement, respectively, by a drag and on the hands or suspension. Introduced inflatable balloons placed outside the sides of the container, sheets of rubberized fabric installed in the cutouts between the valves and the sides, a mat with an electric heater placed on the bottom of the container, a power supply, a temperature sensor and a control and signaling unit (see patent RU No. 2181062 from 04/10/02).

Each sheet of rubberized fabric is equipped with a cord and attached to its adjacent edges to the adjacent edges of the valve and sidewall with the possibility of tight sealing of the joint between them and their free movement from the deployed position to the working one when forming the container and tightening the cord, and the flexible sheet is made of fiberglass based on several layers of fiberglass with an epoxy adhesive.

However, this invention does not allow the evacuation of people (fishermen, sailors, children, etc.) and equipment from ice floes, torn from a continuous ice massif, in water pools.

A rescue system is also known, containing a vehicle with a lifting mechanism, its drive and a control panel, a cable connected at one end to the said mechanism and made with a lock at its other end, a drag with a viewing window, a location for the rescue object and a life support system , which includes a mat with an electric heater, a power supply, a temperature sensor, as well as an air filter and a breathing valve with a sensor for its position (see patent RU 2186554 C1 of 08/10/2002).

This system has proven itself in the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield. At the same time, it cannot be used to eliminate the health consequences of natural disasters and technological disasters in water basins, including the evacuation of people (fishermen, sailors, children, etc.) and equipment from ice floes torn off massif of ice on the water pools. This technical solution is the essential features closest to the claimed invention and is taken as a prototype.

The objective of the invention is the creation of a device that ensures the evacuation in winter of people (fishermen, sailors, children, etc.) who have fallen into distress, as well as equipment from ice floes torn from a solid ice mass in water pools.

The technical solution to the problem is to increase mobility and productivity during the evacuation of rescue facilities from ice on water basins.

At the same time, a rescue system from ice on water pools is proposed, containing a vehicle with a lifting mechanism, its drive and a control panel, a cable connected at one end to the said mechanism and made with a lock at its other end, a drag with a viewing window, a place for the location of the rescue object and the life support system, which includes a mat with an electric heater, a power supply, a temperature sensor, as well as an air filter and a breathing valve with a sensor for its position. The vehicle is made in the form of an aircraft, and the drag is made in the form of a container consisting of two sections vertically located one above the other, the upper section being equipped with a sealing lock with the possibility of sealing and a device for fastening the cable lock.

Moreover, it contains a place for the location of the rescue object and a life support system equipped with communication and alarm systems, while the upper section is equipped with an engine, a propeller, air cylinders, an engine control unit, a cable lock, a life support system, air cylinders and a water pump located in the lower section and made with an electric drive for filling this section with water and draining water from it when located on or below the surface of the water basin, and this control unit is made Remote keypad.

The container is made in the shape of a boat, and the remote controls of the control unit are made with the possibility of installation both in the upper section and outside it - in the aircraft, container, on ice, and on land.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, where: 1 - aircraft; 2 - lifting and triggering mechanism; 3 - cable; 4 - lock; 5 - container; 6 - upper section; 7 - lower section; 8 - the object of salvation; 9 - surface of the water basin; 10 - ice floe; 11 - land.

The vehicle selected aircraft 1 (helicopter, airship, etc.). The lifting and releasing mechanism 2 is designed to lower the container 5 onto the ice 10 using the cable 3. At the lower end of the cable 3, a lock 4 is provided for connecting and disconnecting the cable 3 with the container 5. The lock 4 can be controlled from the control unit or from its remote controls. It is possible to move the container 5 along the ice 10 or along the (under) surface of the water basin 9 using a cable 3.

The container 5 is made in the form of a boat, consisting of two sections vertically located one above the other, and the upper section 6 is equipped with a sealing lock with the possibility of sealing it, a place for the location of the rescue object 8, a life support system including an inspection window, an air filter and a breathing valve with a sensor its position, as well as a mat with an electric heater, a power supply unit, a temperature sensor, communications and alarm systems, and a control unit. In addition, in the upper section 6, air cylinders are installed, designed to supply people with air when sealing the container 5. Tanks with drinking water, food and medicine can also be installed here.

An engine with a propeller is mounted in the upper section 6. Engine control is carried out from the control unit or remote control panels of the control unit. In the upper section 6, a device for securing the cable lock is provided.

The lower section 7 is designed to ensure flooding of the container 5 below the surface of the ice floes 10 or the water basin 9. It has a water pump with an electric drive with the possibility of filling the section with water and draining water from it, including emergency water, on or below the surface of the water pool 9.

The operation of the rescue system in water pools.

Having received a signal about the presence of the rescue object 8 located on the ice 10 in the water basin 9, the crew of the aircraft 1 transports the container 5 to the ice 10, on which the rescue 8 is located. Using the lifting and launch mechanism 2, lower the cable 3 with the container 5 to the surface ice floes 10. Rescue object 8 is placed in the upper section 6 of container 5, hermetically sealed, and using cable 3, container 5 is moved from ice floe 10 to the surface of the water basin 9.

Then, the lower section 7 is filled with water using a water pump so that the container 5 drops below the level of ice 10 or the surface of the water pool 9. Then the cable 3 is unfastened from the container 5 by the lock 4. Using the control unit or its remote controls, the life support system is activated, engine and move the container 5 to land 11.

As an object of salvation 8, there may be fishermen who find themselves on ice floes 10 that have torn off land and 10 sailors who have crashed in water basins of 9 ships, equipment, etc.

The present invention can increase mobility and productivity during the evacuation of rescue facilities from ice floes in water basins, as much as possible to reduce the time from the moment an emergency occurs to assist rescue facilities, which will lead to a reduction in deaths and serious injuries.
