Description

Underwater wearable device with warning function

The invention provides an underwater wearable device, particularly an underwater wearable device with a warning function.

Compared with scuba diving, free diving does not require carrying oxygen bottles and other equipment to swim freely in the sea. Divers take deep breaths before diving to provide the body with sufficient oxygen during the dive, and regularly surface for ventilation based on their ability to hold their breath.

However, sometimes divers overestimate their abilities and dive too deep or stay in the water for too long, resulting in hypoxia or unconsciousness. When their partners on the surface notice something abnormal, they are often already in the water. Difficult to rescue.

The inventor then devoted his mind to research and developed an underwater wearable device with a warning function to provide early warning to free divers before they dive too deep or for too long.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the controller 103 can be a chip with computing capabilities, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller unit (MCU), or other similar processing units. The controller 103 can send corresponding signals to the display unit 108 to light up the depth lights 106 or the time lights 107 according to the calculated pressure change and time. Specifically, when the pressure sensor 102 senses that the pressure increases, for example, 0.05 atmospheric pressure, that is, enters about 50 centimeters under the water surface, the controller 103 can be triggered to start timing. The pressure sensor 102, the controller 103 and the display unit 108 can form a module and can be installed on a carrier, such as a flexible circuit board. The depth signals 106 may be light emitting diode units. Preferably, a module including the pressure sensor 102, the controller 103 and the display unit 108 is detachably installed on the wearable body 101 so that it can be removed first when the wearable body 101 needs to be cleaned. To avoid damage during cleaning. In addition, the underwater wearable device 100 with warning function of the present invention may further include a power supply 109 electrically connected to the controller 103, the pressure sensor 102 and the display unit 108.

The depth warning area 104 is mainly used to remind the diver 2 who wears it, so it is preferably located at a location that the diver 2 can easily see. For example, when the diver 2 sees that all four depth lights 106 are on, he should Stop diving further. The diving time warning area 105 can allow other divers around to quickly discover and rescue the diver 2 when the diver 2 becomes comatose or temporarily incapacitated due to too long diving time. Therefore, it can be set in a place that is easily visible to the outside world. parts. For example, when you see that all four time lights 107 of diver 2 are on, you can go to the diver 2 to take care of him or return to the surface to report. In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the controller 103 and the pressure sensor 102 can be embedded in the wearable body 101 and electrically connected to the wearable body 101 through circuits (not shown) embedded in the wearable body 101 . the display unit 108 .
