Description

The invention is intended for instant assistance to those in distress on the water (for example, a shipwreck) in particularly difficult situations (for example, military operations) or when providing assistance from another mode of transport (from air or from land to water). In such critical situations, there is a need to leave the water as soon as possible in order, for example, to avoid frostbite with all the negative consequences.

The following patents related to this topic are known.

Patent No. 2494912 "rescue system for ships", publ. 10.10.2013. SUBSTANCE: invention contains a flexible belt made of high-strength material with pressure relief valves dividing the belt into four parts, slings wrapping around this belt, fasteners connecting the belt slings along the stern of the ship with the ship's stiffeners, fittings, hoses and cylinders with compressed air, electrovalves and valves for supplying compressed air to the flexible belt, a casing that closes the belt, with a lock and a hinge.

Patent No. 2282554 "Collective ship rescue equipment", publ. 08/27/2006. SUBSTANCE: invention contains a hermetic capsule fixed on a ship with the possibility of detachment when the latter is flooded and made with a cabin equipped with seats with seat belts for accommodating people, means for supporting their life activity, autonomous emergency lighting and means of communication.

Patent No. 152040 "Individual equipment for assistance to persons who are overboard (options)". The invention relates to variants of individual equipment for helping persons who are overboard. Each piece of personal equipment generally includes a lifejacket, an inflatable module connected to the lifejacket, configured to inflate the lifejacket when the personal equipment detects a person falling overboard.

Also known is a mobile floating rescue device with small impellers on a compressed pneumatic flow with remote control, made in the form of a floating hull, with low-power propellers, as a floating hull, a U-shaped remote-controlled hull is used, designed to rescue those in distress on the water (see RF patent No. 2718178, MPK V63S 9/08, V63S 9/06 entitled "MOBILE FLOATING DEVICE WITH SMALL IMPELLERS ON A COMPRESSED PNEUMATIC FLOW WITH REMOTE CONTROL", publ. 31.03.2020 - Bull. No. 10), taken as a prototype .

The proposed design, the dimensions of the hull of which are made in the middle part in the form of a horizontal board towards the tail part of the U-shaped hull, is made so that the escaping person can lie on it, as on a board.

Due to the peculiarity of the proposed design, namely its complexity, it becomes impossible to drop it from an aircraft, or launch from land (except for the case of launching directly from the shore), in other words, under ideal conditions. Therefore, this invention cannot be called universal, and therefore the development of a different technical solution is required.

The purpose of the invention is to create such a technical solution that allows you to save those in distress on the water, even in particularly difficult situations (for example, military operations) or when providing assistance from another mode of transport (from air or from land to water).

The technical solution is achieved by manufacturing a rescue system for those in distress on the water in the form of a torpedo projectile. The simplicity of the form of the invention allows it to be sent to the disaster area using a ship gun / torpedo tube, aircraft or from land, for example, using a special installation (including installed on a truck) / device). Upon reaching the place of rescue of people, the hull, made of metal or hard plastic, opens and the raft is inflated.

The essence of the invention is illustrated by a figure, which shows: 1 - transceiver; 2 - torpedo body; 3 - a raft to rescue drowning people; 4 - storage compartments for essentials, 5 - battery 6 - control devices; 7 - electric motor.

Igniters (which are necessary for inflating the rafts), as well as the remote control, are not shown in the figure.

In operation, in case of a distress on the water, (for example, a shipwreck), a torpedo can be sent to the disaster area (for example, from another ship, from an aircraft or from land), which, when receiving a signal from the remote control, slows down as needed and stops at the disaster zone with the subsequent opening of the rafts (inflating with the help of squibs), in which the crew of the ship in distress can be accommodated. In order to provide first aid, the design provides storage compartments for essential items. Further, according to the signals of the transceiver, the transport that has reached the disaster zone will be able to evacuate all the rescued participants in the incident.

The result of this technical solution is a torpedo for rescuing those in distress on the water, which is universal, since it can be sent to the disaster zone from land, from water transport, and also with the help of aircraft.

Claims (1)

A life-saving device for rescuing those in distress on the water, containing a body in which rafts are placed, a transceiver, compartments for storing essential items, a battery, control devices, an electric motor, a remote control and squibs, with which the rafts are inflated, characterized in that in When folded, the rescue craft has the shape of a torpedo and can be launched into the disaster zone both from land, from a ship, and from an aircraft.
