It is configured to include.

  The camera 12 captures at least the front and lower images of the body body 6 and the captured images are displayed in real time on a monitor screen (not shown) of the control device. In addition to the GPS position coordinates, various information necessary for operation (flight) is displayed on the monitor screen. The operator can fly the drone 2 by remote control while viewing the captured image, GPS position coordinates, and the like.

  The heat detector 15 detects the heat (infrared rays) of the rescuer 3, and particularly when the visibility is poor, such as when flying at night or in fog, smoke, etc. The position of can be accurately grasped.

As shown in FIG. 1, the rescue material locking means 5 is a member that is provided at the lower portion of the drone 2 and that detachably locks the rescue material 4. The rescue material locking means 5 is formed by bending a small-diameter metal rod into a rectangular shape in front view, and includes a detachable carabiner 5a. The carabiner 5a is a substantially oval-shaped metal ring member, and normally the ring is closed by a biasing force of a spring (not shown), and the ring is opened when the lever portion 5b is pushed down to the inside of the ring. . Thereby, it can attach or detach to a latching target quickly and easily.
In addition, although the carabiner 5a is connected with the rescue supplies 4 through the ring member 23, depending on the form of the rescue supplies 4, the carabiner 5a may be directly connected with the rescue supplies 4 without using the ring member 23.

  Next, the rescue supplies 4 transported by the drone 2 will be described. The rescue supplies 4 are supplies necessary for rescue of the rescuer 3 (see FIG. 2). For example, a life jacket 20 (see FIG. 2), a rescue rope 25 (see FIG. 3), a rescue strap 26 (server) It is preferable to include at least one of Ibas ring, see FIG. 4), a float, food and drink, a cold protection / warming survival sheet, a medicine, a communication device, clothing, and a blanket.

The life jacket 20 includes a hood 22 that protects the head of the rescuer 3 and a ring member 23 that locks a rescue material locking means 5 described later.
In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing the air resistance during flight and stabilizing the flying posture of the drone 2, it is preferable that the life jacket 20 is locked to the drone 2 in a compactly folded state.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the rescue rope 25 is preferably provided with a predetermined length and excellent in strength, heat resistance, and the like. This rescue rope 25 is used, for example, when one rescuer 3 is rescued in the event of a water shortage, with one end wrapped around the body of the rescuer 3 and the other end fixed to a fixed object such as a building or a utility pole. The Also, it is used when the rescuer 3 left behind in a fire or damaged building is transported to another safe place.

  In addition, when the very long rescue rope 25 is required, the weight of the rescue rope 25 also becomes large, and the case where it cannot convey with the small drone 2 is also considered. Therefore, a lead rope having a diameter smaller than that of the rescue rope 25 may be connected to one end of the rescue rope 25 and only this lead rope may be transported to the rescuer 3 in need.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the rescue tie 26 (server eva ring) is used when the rescuer 3 is lifted by a rescue helicopter or the like. A U-shaped sling that abuts both armpits and a fixing part (not shown) that fixes the body of the rescuer 3 are configured so that the end part is connected to the rope 26a. Before the rescue helicopter arrives, the rescue strap 26 is delivered to the rescue requester 3 by the drone 2 in advance, so that quick rescue is possible.

  In addition, you may convey the small ring-shaped member 28 which can be fixed through the arm, wrist, etc. of the rescuer 3 as needed, for example, as shown in FIG. The ring-shaped member 28 is connected to a rescue rope 28a, and can be composed of a rigid rod-shaped member or a flexible belt-shaped member. Moreover, you may comprise with a hook-and-loop fastener, a buckle, etc. so that the diameter of a ring can be adjusted.

  Further, as a substitute for the ring-shaped member 28, a leather belt or the like can be used in an annular shape. Furthermore, the ring-shaped member 28 can also be used as a hook such as a so-called safety belt. In that case, in order to adjust the frictional force with the rope on which the hook is hung, for example, rubber may be provided on the ring-shaped member 28 to increase the frictional force.

  The above-mentioned floating device means a floating ring, a floating bag, a lifebuoy or the like, and is preferably provided with a rescue rope having a predetermined length in advance. The said food and drink are a plastic bottle drink, emergency food, etc. The communication device is a mobile phone or a wireless device.

  In addition, things with comparatively large weight, such as clothing and blankets, can be transported by the large drone 2. Further, by using the large drone 2, for example, the rescue rope 25 that has been stretched is transported to a rescuer 3 (water refugee) who is drowning in a river or the like, and one end of the rescue rope 25 is grasped. It is also possible to pull the rescuer 3 to a safe shore. In addition, it is more effective if the above-mentioned float is tied to one end of the rescue rope 25.

  The life-saving device 1 configured as described above is preferably widely deployed in various places such as government offices, public halls, police stations, fire stations, schools, and other public institutions and general companies. It is preferable to train appropriately. Thereby, more lives can be rescued.

Next, the usage method of the lifesaving apparatus 1 is demonstrated, referring FIG.1 and FIG.7. First, the rescue supplies 4 necessary for the rescue supplies locking means 5 of the drone 2 are locked. At that time, the carabiner 5a can be used for easy and quick locking.
Then, the pilot P of the drone 2 causes the drone 2 to fly to the destination point T by remote control or automatic control by the control device 20. At that time, the operator P can remotely control the drone 2 while looking at the image taken by the camera 12, the GPS position coordinates, and the like.
In particular, in the case of poor visibility, such as when flying at night or in fog, smoke, etc., the heat detector 15 detects the heat (infrared) of the rescuer 3 so that the rescuer is required. The position of 3 can be accurately grasped.

After the drone 2 has landed at the destination point T, the rescuer 3 can open the carabiner 5a to easily and quickly remove and receive the rescue supplies 4 from the rescue article locking means 5. Thereby, it can be expected that the lifesaving probability will be remarkably improved.
Further, since the drone 2 can be easily reciprocated, the rescue supplies 4 such as the life jackets used by the rescuer 3 after the rescue is completed can be delivered to the other rescuer 3 for reuse. .

According to the lifesaving device 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the following effects are exhibited. The life-saving device 1 according to the present embodiment is detachable from a drone 2 as an unmanned aircraft capable of flying by remote control or automatic control, a rescue material 4 necessary for rescue of a rescuer 3 and a rescue material 4 Rescue material locking means 5 for locking.
Therefore, the rescue supplies 4 can be quickly transported to the rescue requester 3 by the drone 2, and the rescue supplies 4 can be easily attached to and detached from the rescue supplies locking means 5. Therefore, the rescue supplies 4 can be transported easily and quickly to the rescue requester 3. In particular, before a rescue team member such as a fire department or a police arrives at the scene, a general person can rescue more lives by using the drone 2 to rescue lives or provide support / assistance activities.

  The drone 2 includes a camera 12 that captures an image. Therefore, the pilot P can fly the drone 2 by remote control while looking at the captured image of the camera 12 in a safe place.

  The drone 2 includes a heat detection device 15 that detects the heat of the human body. Therefore, it is possible to detect the heat (infrared ray) of the rescuer 3, and the position of the rescuer 3 can be accurately determined in the case of poor visibility such as when flying at night or in fog or smoke. Can grasp.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the lifesaving device 1 according to the above embodiment, the rescue material locking means 5 including the carabiner 5a has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as illustrated in FIG. It may be configured. Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing another rescue article locking means 5. By providing such a hook member 5c, the same effect as described above can be expected.

  Moreover, in the lifesaving device 1 according to the above embodiment, the small drone 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a larger drone may be used. Thereby, the rescuer 3 can be pulled to a safe place or can be moved by being hung, and the range of rescue can be widened.

  Further, it can be used as shown in FIG. When a fire occurs in the building 61, the drone 2 can be used to move to the adjacent building 62. On each floor, the drone 2 to which the string 51 is attached and a fitting device (not shown) to the body for tightrope are provided. The string 51a is thin and strong enough not to affect the flight of the drone 2, and the string 51b is connected to the thin string 51a so as not to be broken even when a person is hung. The attachment device (not shown) includes a set of a belt to be attached to the body and a carabiner for connecting the belt and the string 51.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a fire occurs on the fifth floor of a high-rise building 61, a resident P1 on the sixth floor, which is higher than that floor, flies the drone 2 from the veranda, and the fifth floor (high We have resident P2 of lower floor) receive. That is, it is better to have the resident P2 receive the floor at a lower floor, preferably one floor lower. This is because it is easier to move along the string 51 when the height difference of the string 51 is gentler. It is advisable to attach an explanatory diagram describing such usage to the deployed drone 2.

A hook (not shown) provided at the end of the string 51a is locked to the carabiner 5a of the drone 2. When the resident P2 of the adjacent building 62 receives the drone 2 that the resident P1 who has suffered the disaster, the resident P2 removes the hook at the end of the string 51 from the carabiner 5a of the drone 2, as shown in FIG. And put the drone 2 out of the way.

  Next, when the resident P2 of the adjacent building 62 draws the string 51, the thicker string 51b connected to the string 51a is pulled out as shown in FIG. And the next building 62. Then, the resident P1 affected by the disaster and the resident P2 of the adjacent building 62 are firmly connected to the fence of the veranda and fixed. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9C, the affected resident P1 attaches the wearing device to the body, attaches the carabiner of the wearing device to the string 51b, and moves to the adjacent building 62 along the string 51b.

  In this way, when a fire occurs in the building 61, even if the inhabitant P1 above the damaged floor cannot get down, it can move to the adjacent building 62 and evacuate. Conventionally, it has been necessary to perform dangerous acts such as jumping off the floor due to the fire getting hot, but it is not necessary to take such a risk by moving to the next building.

  In addition, although the situation which uses this invention between the building 61 and the building 62 was illustrated above, it is possible also between the houses of a multi-story floor, and uses this invention between a house and a utility pole, a tree, etc. You can also.
