Lifesaving transmission device

Technical field

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a life-saving transmission device that can request rescue by radio waves, light, sound, etc. when it is desired to encounter a disaster or disaster by carrying it.

Background art

[0002] When encountering disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods, collapse of buildings, and disasters in mountains and seas, it is a reckless case where life is not saved because the actual facts and whereabouts are unknown. There is. In order to solve this problem, a life-saving transmission device is provided that can be rescued in the event of distress if it is carried in advance.

[0003] A conventional life-saving transmission device transmits some information such as radio waves, voice, light, etc., using a battery or a battery as a power source, and this makes it easier to find whereabouts. In addition, since there is no need to make full use of the human body's functions such as loud voices and hand gestures, there is an advantage that there is no danger of exhausting and exhausting power.

[0004] However, the built-in battery and the battery may be disabled due to spontaneous discharge. In particular, depending on the type of distress, the stored electricity can easily be lost due to water intrusion. Also, even if the voltage is initially usable, the voltage may drop and become unusable while being used for a long time as help is not available. There is a danger of using your physical strength until you are exhausted.

[0005] In particular, in the case of batteries, it is difficult to take a structure that prevents the intrusion of water because it is necessary to replace it, and even if possible, it is necessary to provide a sealed structure that involves opening and closing the lid. . Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0006] In view of the above situation, the present invention uses mechanical energy stored in a panel without using a battery or a battery as a life-saving power source, so that the power source is consumed or used. It was an object to provide a life-saving transmission device that can reliably ask for help without fear of being exhausted. Means for solving the problem

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises a power generation device that uses a force stored as mechanical energy by rotating a handle, and a life-saving transmission device that is operated by the power. In order to store power as mechanical energy, the device is provided with a power take-up drum in parallel to the drum and the rewind drum in parallel with the return drum around which the panel is wound. A power generator is connected to the rotary shaft of the gearbox so that only the return rotation is transmitted, and a transmission that controls the return rotation and a lock and release switch mechanism that automatically locks the panel panel. The present invention provides a life-saving transmission device characterized by being provided.

[0008] Since the life-saving transmission device is configured as described above, in order to use this device, if a large number of panels are involved in advance and stored as mechanical energy, the mechanical energy is used unless it is used. When the lock is released when it is necessary to drain, the transmitter activates and a lifesaving signal is transmitted from the transmitter using the generated power.

The invention's effect

[0009] As described above, according to the present invention, since the mechanical energy stored in the panel without using a battery or a battery is used as a life-saving power source, the power source is consumed or the power source is used up. It is easy to store additional mechanical energy, and the safety is enhanced by a sealed structure that can withstand disasters and disasters without a battery replacement structure. In addition, if the signal transmission continues, there is an excellent effect that the steering wheel operation is assumed as a premise and it is a proof that a person is alive.

[0010] With regard to the storage and output of mechanical energy, the lock and release switch mechanism is assumed to be either manual or automatic (claim 2). Can be reliably operated. The panel may be a normal uniaxial mainspring panel, but if it is a constant torque mainspring (Claim 3), power can be obtained stably and easily.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 5 show an embodiment, and the life-saving transmission device is a power generation device 1. The transmission 2, the lock / release switch mechanism 3, the transmission device 4, and the like, and mechanical energy stored in the constant torque spring 5 is used for electric power. These are then placed in Case 7.

[0013] The power generation device 1 is provided with a winding drum 9 and a rewinding drum 10 of the constant torque spring 5, and the generator 1 is connected to the rotating shaft 11 of the winding drum 9 via a coupling 13. . A handle 17 is attached to the rotating shaft 11 and is exposed to the outside of the case 7 but is covered with the lid 8.

[0014] Since the rewind drum 10 is free to rotate, when the winding drum 9 is rotated by the handle 17, the constant torque spring 5 is wound from the rewind drum 10 against its elasticity, These are automatically and sequentially locked by the lock / release switch mechanism 3, and when released, rewinding occurs, and this is transmitted to the power generator 1 and the transmission 2. However, the rotation in the scraping direction is not transmitted to the power generator 1 and the transmission 2.

[0015] The transmission 2 controls the return speed of the rotary shaft 11 when the constant torque spring 5 is rewound, while the lock / release switch mechanism 3, that is, the lock mechanism that stops the rewound of the rotary shaft 11 and the release thereof. It also plays the role of reliably operating the switch mechanism. Therefore, the transmission 2 is provided between the rotary shaft 11 and the lock / release switch mechanism 3.

[0016] The structure of the transmission 2 is such that the rotary shaft 11 of the scraping drum 9 is the first shaft, the second shaft 19 and the third shaft 20 are provided in parallel, and the first shaft is large via a one-way clutch 21. Attach the gear 22, attach the middle gear 23 and the small gear 24 to the second shaft 19 and the third shaft 20, respectively, and further attach the reduction gear 27 that meshes with the large gear 22 on the second shaft 19, A reduction gear 28 that meshes with the middle gear 23 is attached to the third shaft 20.

[0017] The lock / release switch mechanism 3 stops or releases the lock lever 29 with the small gear 24 as a lock gear, with the constant torque spring 5 having the weakest force (easy to control) among the transmission 2 The lock lever 29 is L-shaped and has a claw 30 related to the small gear 24 at the tip, and a protrusion 32 that abuts the cam switch 31 at the base end. It is pivotally supported by pin 33 so that it can swing.

[0018] The lock lever 29 is attached to the coil panel 40 in a direction in which the lock lever 29 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cam switch 31. In this state, the claw 30 engages with the small gear 24 and is locked (the state shown in FIG. 1). However, when the cam switch 31 is turned in the direction of the arrow, a protrusion is formed on the surrounding recess 35. The claw 30 is released from the small gear 24 when the 32 is depressed, and the locked state is released, and the constant torque spring 5 is rewound, whereby the rotating shaft 11 returns and rotates, and the power generator 1 operates.

[0019] The rotation of the rotary shaft 11 is controlled to be constant by the transmission device 2. As a result, the power is stably generated and further quantified by the capacitor 36. As a result, when the switch is turned on, the transmission device 4 catches the rotation. Easily ヽ signal is sent. A knob 38 for turning the cam switch 31 to insert a switch is attached to the rotary shaft 39, which is exposed outside the case 7. That is, it is the case of a manual switch. In the above embodiment, the power panel described for the case where the panel is a constant torque spring may be a normal uniaxial mainspring panel.

[0020] Fig. 6 shows the case of an automatic switch using a temperature sensor in preparation for when the disaster victim has no room for operation, such as when a fire is encountered. The lock / release switch mechanism is shown in FIG. 3, the curved flexible plate 41 is attached to the support 42 at the base end, and the curved bimetal 43 is connected to the flexible plate 41 at both ends. A plate cam 44 having a paragraph 45 is attached to the front end of the flexible plate 41. In addition, there may be a case of a matter switch when an earthquake is encountered.

[0021] Force not shown in the figure The bimetal 43 is exposed on the outer surface of the case. When heated, the plate cam 44 is pushed down, and the protrusion 32 of the lock lever 29 falls into the paragraph 45, so that the small gear The claw 30 comes off from 24 and the locked state is released.

[0022] For example, when the transmitting device 4 is a device that transmits SOS radio waves, the transmitting device 4 has a structure that functions an electronic circuit that transmits the emergency signal. Although the antenna 47 is provided in the case 7 (Fig. 5), such a structure is adopted when light and sound are generated.

[0023] When transmitting a radio signal, it is desirable to pair with a receiver corresponding to the life-saving transmission device because it is easy to find a victim. In order to specify the position, GPS received from artificial satellites can also be used. In this case, a device for receiving GPS from the sanitary device and a device for transmitting location information specified by reception are provided.

[0024] When an automatic switch is used, it is assumed that there is a fire or earthquake as described above. It is equipped with a function that automatically releases the lock and sends an emergency signal by the reaction of the temperature sensor and vibration sensor. In addition, the purpose of disaster prevention and lifesaving can be further achieved by installing a function that allows two-way conversations via communication and telephone so that urgent contents can be exchanged.
