  ≪Concept≫

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the concept of the present invention.

  The present invention relates to a portable rescue signal transmission system for facilitating rescue of a victim. Recently, with the spread of mobile phones and the like, rescue using mobile phones has been performed. For example, the Japan Coast Guard already has such a rescue system. However, if you look at recent leisure, for example, the sea, there are things that go quite far from the shore, such as motor boats, jet skis, windsurfing, etc., and if you go to places where it is difficult to approach in the mountains, such as rock climbing There are also. Such a place is often difficult to detect because it is difficult to receive the radio wave because the radio wave receiving station is far away. For this reason, in the case of a distress, the present invention activates a portable rescue signal transmission system that is always carried by the distress and inflates the balloon, thereby causing it to fly high in the air. By transmitting a rescue signal, this portable rescue signal transmission system allows the rescuer to receive the rescue signal without being blocked by an obstacle. For example, referring to FIG. 1, when the climber 0104 is lost, the balloon device 0101 is launched from the portable rescue signal transmission system 0106 in which the launch pad device and the balloon device are integrated. Before the balloon device is launched, a rescue signal is generated from the launch pad device and held by the balloon device. The rescue signal 0102 held by the balloon device is continuously transmitted from the communication unit of the balloon device. Since the rescue signal continuously transmitted from the balloon device is from a high altitude without an obstacle, for example, the probability of being received by an antenna such as the reception antenna 0103 or the management hut 0108 is very high. In addition, when the altitude is increased, it is possible to transmit radio waves to the artificial satellite 0110.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of each part of the launch pad device and the balloon device. Before the operation, the portable rescue signal transmission system is integrated. However, when the operation of the system is started, the balloon from the balloon gas cylinder part 0203 to the balloon part 0206 via the opening part 0201 is started. When the working gas is filled and the rescue signal generated by the rescue signal generation unit 0204 is completely held in the rescue signal holding unit 0205, for example, the joint pin 0202 for connecting the two is removed and the launch pad The device and the balloon device are separated. After that, a rescue signal is transmitted from the communication unit 0205.

  Embodiment 1

    <Overall configuration of Embodiment 1>

  The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  The first embodiment is a portable rescue signal transmission system 0301 including a launch pad device 0302 and a balloon device 0306. The launch pad device includes a balloon gas cylinder unit 0303, an opening unit 0304, and a rescue signal. The balloon device is a portable rescue signal transmission system having a balloon unit 0307, a rescue signal holding unit 0308, and a communication unit 0309.

    <Description of Configuration of Embodiment 1>

  The “portable rescue signal transmission system” includes a launch pad device and a balloon device configured to be separable integrally with the launch pad device. The phrase “integrated and separable” means that the launch pad device and the balloon device can be separated while being integrated. “A single unit is configured to be separable” means, for example, that the launch pad device and the balloon device are normally integrated, but the balloon device and the launch pad device are separable in the event of a distress. means.

  The “launching device” includes a balloon gas cylinder, an opening, and a rescue signal generator.

  The “balloon gas cylinder” has a function of filling a compressed gas of a balloon gas that is lighter than air. The gas lighter than air is, for example, hydrogen or helium. The balloon gas is a gas that fills the balloon device and causes the balloon device to float. The reason for filling the balloon gas as compressed gas is to reduce the volume by increasing the pressure to make the portable rescue signal transmission system light and small. The cylinder material that holds the compressed gas may be a metal or a resin. The metallic material may be stainless steel, titanium, aluminum alloy having high corrosion resistance, or an iron plate or copper plate with anticorrosion plating or coating, or the above-mentioned metal or other metals. The resin material may be a high-strength engineering plastic or vinyl chloride.

  The “opening part” has a function for opening the compressed gas of the balloon gas in the balloon gas cylinder part to fill the balloon. That is, the opening part is a part that is normally in the middle of the passage of gas from the balloon gas cylinder part to the balloon and blocks the passage. By opening this part, the compressed gas of the balloon gas is released. And can fill the balloon.

  The “rescue signal generation unit” has a function of generating a rescue signal. The rescue signal is, for example, the location where the accident occurred, the time when the accident occurred, the altitude where the accident occurred, a simple message about the situation when the accident occurred, the device number, the user number of this system, and the like. This rescue signal includes information that can be generated in advance, such as the device number and the user identification number of this system. For information that depends on the location of the disaster, the time of the disaster, and other situations at the time of the disaster, This is information that needs to be generated as a rescue signal when this device is operated. The rescue signal generator has a function of generating a rescue signal that needs to be generated at the time of such distress. Further, the rescue signal generator of this embodiment may obtain information from an external GPS.

  The “balloon device” includes a balloon unit, a rescue signal holding unit, and a communication unit.

  The “balloon part” has a balloon for filling the balloon gas released at the opening part and for floating the balloon device. The buoyancy generated by the balloon must be greater than the overall weight of the balloon device. In addition, the balloon device has no backflow of the balloon gas immediately after the balloon gas opened in the opening portion is filled in the balloon portion until it is separated from the launch pad device, and also after the separation. It has a function of sealing so that the balloon gas does not leak. This function may be a part of the function of the balloon unit. Further, the material of the outer membrane constituting the balloon part may be a stretchable material. By using a stretchable material, the trouble of folding the balloon portion becomes unnecessary.

  The “rescue signal holding unit” has a function of holding the rescue signal generated by the rescue signal generation unit. In order to hold the rescue signal generated by the rescue signal generation unit, it may be a volatile memory having a storage function or a non-volatile memory. When selecting this memory, choose a small and lightweight one and not increase the weight of the balloon device.

  The “communication unit” has a function of transmitting a rescue signal held by the rescue signal holding unit. The communication unit has a transmission function. This communication unit is also preferably lightweight. The balloon device is also equipped with a battery. The battery may have a capacity sufficient to transmit a rescue signal from the communication unit. In addition, this battery is desirably small and light. This battery is preferably a lightweight battery that does not increase the weight of the balloon device so much. Further, the power source of the balloon apparatus may be a solar battery instead of a battery. A solar cell is suitable for this system because there is no need to worry about power failure. However, since it is necessary to operate this system at night, it is desirable that the battery is attached even if the solar cell is attached. Further, the transmission of the rescue signal of the communication unit is preferably not directivity, and is preferably transmitted in all directions. However, in particular, in order to transmit the rescue signal while raising the altitude, it may be transmitted in the ground direction. Further, it is desirable that the communication unit has means for confirming when the balloon device starts transmitting. For example, there may be a receiver in the launch pad device, and the rescue signal transmitted from the balloon device is confirmed by this receiver.

    <Description of Specific Functions of Embodiment 1>

  Specific functions of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

  The balloon gas cylinder portion of the launch pad device is filled with balloon gas 0401. For example, helium or hydrogen. The operation of the portable rescue signal transmission system at the time of distress starts when the opening part is opened. By opening the opening portion, the balloon gas is filled in the balloon portion of the balloon device, and buoyancy for floating the balloon device can be obtained. On the other hand, in the rescue signal generator of the launch pad device, as shown in FIG. 5, the zone where the victim is located, altitude, time, temperature, atmospheric pressure, weather, equipment identification information, user identification information, number of victims, comments And the rescue signal 0402 is held in the rescue signal holding unit of the balloon device. Further, the communication unit transmits this rescue signal.
