DESCRIPTION

UNMANNED NAUTICAL DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the wording of the present specification, refers to an unmanned nautical device that provides, for its intended function, advantages and characteristics that are described in detail below.

The object of the present invention lies in an unmanned nautical device that, designed as a small boat formed from air tight chambers that house the main operating elements that it has in such a way that they allow navigation even in very adverse conditions. , it moves directed by remote control with the purpose of serving as a support instrument in rescue work on the high seas, being also designed to incorporate different types of specific accessories for both functions.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention is framed within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of remote control devices and unmanned vehicles, at the same time covering the field of nautical.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although different types and models of unmanned vehicles are known in the market, whether land, air or nautical, at least by the applicant, the existence of none that It has technical and structural characteristics equal to or similar to those presented by the one claimed herein.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The unmanned nautical device that the invention proposes, as noted above, is a device designed as a small boat consisting of a closed hull with one or more air-tight chambers that house the main operating elements that it has, of a way that allows navigation even in very adverse conditions, which moves directed by remote control in order to serve as a support instrument in two areas related to the aquatic environment, specifically in rescue work on the high seas, being also designed for to be able to incorporate different common or specific accessories for both functions.

Thus, the device of the invention comprises essential elements housed inside the mentioned watertight chambers of the helmet, so that they are protected from humidity or other external agents:

- two electric motors that allow it to be controlled in any direction,

- an electronic transmitter / receiver module with GPS, connected to the motors to control their drive based on the remote signal received from a remote control remote user, and

- one or more batteries for powering the motors, preferably consisting of rechargeable batteries by connection to a battery charger suitably provided for this purpose.

Also, external to the helmet, the device comprises, at least, position indicator lights, green and red, to allow it to be seen when used at night or in poor visibility conditions.

For its part, as accessory elements to those of operation for its navigation, the nautical device of the invention also comprises one or more support elements for aquatic rescue tasks, among which, preferably, any combination of, at least , a night vision camera, a depth sounder and one or more white led lamps.

Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the hull of the boat that constitutes the device of the invention comprises, distributed over its deck, some fastening means, preferably in the form of rings welded to said deck, suitable for fastening the end of a line that, in turn, is attached to a lifebuoy, a buoy or any other suitable floating instrument.

In this way, the device is an instrument that can be of great help in rescue work, in any circumstance but, especially, in adverse weather conditions, bad weather and fog, allowing to have two vision control points.

Preferably, for these tasks you will have led lamps of different luminosities, for example 4000k 6000k ..., to be able to use one or the other depending on the needs of each case.

The described device is also highly advantageous in rescue tasks for the following reasons:

- You do not need personnel on board.

- Allows you to work safely for adverse weather conditions, bad weather and fog.

- It has a night vision camera, which allows search and rescue of people, control of impacts on the ship's hull, etc.

- A lifebuoy can be incorporated, to rescue people, tied to a rope or located on the upper part of the hull of the boat.

- It is ideal for use by any type of institution dedicated to rescue, such as Civil Guard, Civil Protection, firefighters, etc. being able to be used so much for swamps, rivers, reservoirs and open sea. - Optionally, it can incorporate a horn or another type of alarm signal, to be able to be used as an S.O.S. Once the injured or deceased has been found, sound and / or visual means may be activated, such as flashes and / or siren to indicate the situation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
