Description

PRENDA DE BAÑO SALVAVIDAS INTELIGENTE DESCRIPCIÓN Campo de la invención  SMART WASHER BATHROOM DESCRIPTION Field of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una prenda de baño salvavidas inteligente. La invención se refiere especialmente a una prenda de baño salvavidas para evitar ahogamientos que incluye un sistema de inflado y un sistema de detección de situación de peligro.  The present invention relates to a smart lifeguard swimwear. The invention especially relates to a life-saving bathing garment to prevent drowning which includes an inflation system and a danger situation detection system.

Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention

Las prendas de baño salvavidas suelen presentarse como prendas o elementos flotables como por ejemplo bandas inflables, chalecos, elementos de flotación anulares, etc. Sin embargo, estas prendas o elementos sólo son utilizados ante un caso de emergencia y no como prevención, además en ocasiones es necesario llevar el dispositivo inflado en todo momento, resultando incómodo para el usuario y limitando las posibilidades de utilización. Son conocidos del estado de la técnica diversos dispositivos salvavidas inflables cuya configuración o diseño resulta más ergonómico y fácil de llevar mientras se realizan actividades acuáticas. Lifeguards are usually presented as garments or floating elements such as inflatable bands, vests, annular flotation elements, etc. However, these garments or elements are only used in case of an emergency and not as a prevention, in addition it is sometimes necessary to carry the inflated device at all times, being uncomfortable for the user and limiting the possibilities of use. Various inflatable life-saving devices whose configuration or design is more ergonomic and easy to carry while doing water activities are known from the state of the art.

El modelo de utilidad ES1077354U se refiere a un dispositivo salvavidas para nadadores que se estructura a partir de una banda ajustable al torso del nadador, de reducido grosor, confeccionada en material ligero, elástico y ajustable tal como neopreno o similar, que permite la plena movilidad de los brazos al nadar y que comprende un flotador que se despliega en caso de emergencia o necesidad. Otro ejemplo es el modelo de utilidad ES11 14156U el cual se refiere a un salvavidas hinchable para la natación deportiva, que permita libertad de movimientos suficiente para el ejercicio de la natación y que pueda quedar oculto o ser cubierto por una prenda de vestir, de tal manera que cuando se halle deshinchado la apariencia de la invención es la de una prenda de vestir de baño corriente, de las que cubren el tronco del usuario, como pudiera ser una camiseta de baño y que cuando este se halle hinchado, permita el ejercicio de la natación con total libertad de movimientos y mantenga un diseño hidrodinámico proporcionando flotabilidad a los usuarios. The utility model ES1077354U refers to a lifeguard device for swimmers that is structured from a band adjustable to the torso of the swimmer, of reduced thickness, made of lightweight, elastic and adjustable material such as neoprene or similar, which allows full mobility of the arms when swimming and comprising a float that unfolds in case of emergency or need. Another example is the utility model ES11 14156U which refers to an inflatable lifeguard for sports swimming, allowing sufficient freedom of movement for swimming and that can be hidden or covered by a garment, such so that when the appearance of the invention is deflated, it is that of an ordinary bathing garment, of which they cover the trunk of the user, such as a swimsuit and that when it is found swollen, allow the exercise of swimming with total freedom of movement and maintain a hydrodynamic design providing buoyancy to users.

En las patentes US7937770B1 y US6058507A se describen modelos de prendas de baño para hombre y mujer, respectivamente, que incluyen una o más cámaras de aire inflables unidas a las prendas. US7937770B1 and US6058507A patents describe models of swimwear for men and women, respectively, which include one or more inflatable air chambers attached to the garments.

No obstante, este tipo de prendas de baño presentan el inconveniente de que necesitan ser activadas por el usuario de manera manual, por lo que, si bien incrementan la flotabilidad del usuario, en caso de accidente o emergencia y estado de inconsciencia del usuario, el dispositivo no se activará. However, this type of swimwear has the disadvantage that they need to be activated by the user manually, so, although they increase the buoyancy of the user, in case of accident or emergency and state of unconsciousness of the user, the device will not be activated.

Además, estos dispositivos no proporcionan flotación en posición horizontal y boca arriba (decúbito supino), ni tampoco garantizan que sus vías respiratorias, queden por encima del agua. In addition, these devices do not provide flotation in a horizontal position and face up (supine position), nor do they guarantee that their airways are above the water.

Era por tanto deseable una prenda de baño salvavidas que proporcionara un sistema de detección de situación de peligro y salvamento, evitando los inconvenientes existentes en las prendas de baño salvavidas del estado de la técnica. It was therefore desirable a life-saving bathing suit that would provide a danger and rescue situation detection system, avoiding the inconveniences existing in the life-saving bathing apparel of the state of the art.

Descripción de la invención Description of the invention

La presente invención resuelve los problemas existentes en el estado de la técnica mediante una prenda de baño salvavidas inteligente. The present invention solves the problems existing in the state of the art by means of an intelligent lifeguard.

En este sentido, la prenda de baño salvavidas inteligente, permite que, en caso de necesidad, el usuario flote en posición horizontal y con la boca y nariz fuera del agua (decúbito supino), incluso cuando el usuario está inconsciente, gracias a la disposición de la cámara de aire y a su sistema de detección de ahogamiento y activación automática. In this sense, the smart lifeguard swimsuit allows, if necessary, the user to float in a horizontal position and with the mouth and nose out of the water (supine position), even when the user is unconscious, thanks to the provision of the air chamber and its automatic choking detection and activation system.

La flotación horizontal aporta grandes ventajas, ya que disminuye la acción de la presión hidrostática sobre las piernas y también provoca que la mayor parte del cuerpo quede cerca de la superficie, donde normalmente el agua está menos fría, por lo que disminuye o atenúa la pérdida de calor corporal. Por lo tanto, se incrementan las posibilidades de supervivencia del usuario, si el rescate se demora en el tiempo. Horizontal flotation provides great advantages, since it decreases the action of hydrostatic pressure on the legs and also causes most of the body to be close to the surface, where water is normally less cold, so the loss or attenuation of the loss of body heat. Therefore, the possibilities of survival of the user, if the rescue is delayed in time.

Puesto que el traje de baño es compatible con tejidos elásticos (licras o neoprenos) que cubran al menos, el tronco, el cuello y los muslos, se disminuye el riesgo de hipotermia y también, el riesgo de sufrir quemaduras solares, que pueden producirse por la exposición prolongada al sol, durante el entrenamiento, la actividad acuática o el baño. Since the swimsuit is compatible with elastic fabrics (lycra or neoprene) that cover at least the trunk, neck and thighs, the risk of hypothermia and also the risk of sunburn, which can occur due to prolonged exposure to the sun, during training, water activity or bathing.

La prenda de baño salvavidas inteligente comprende: The smart lifeguard swimsuit comprises:

-una cámara de aire;  -an air chamber;

-una botella de aire comprimido para inflar la cámara de aire;  -a bottle of compressed air to inflate the air chamber;

-una válvula electrónica de llenado conectada con la botella de aire y a la cámara de aire;  - an electronic filling valve connected to the air bottle and the air chamber;

-una unidad de control situada en una pulsera;  -a control unit located on a bracelet;

-un receptor electrónico para recibir la señal emitida por la unidad de control y activar la válvula;  - an electronic receiver to receive the signal emitted by the control unit and activate the valve;

La botella de aire comprimido, las válvulas y el receptor electrónico se encuentran dispuestos en un bolsillo de la prenda de baño. The compressed air bottle, the valves and the electronic receiver are arranged in a pocket of the garment.

La cámara de aire y la botella de aire están unidas mediante un tubo de conexión, que ayuda a inflar la cámara de aire en caso de activación. The air chamber and the air bottle are connected by a connection tube, which helps to inflate the air chamber in case of activation.

Existen dos válvulas de llenado acopladas a dicho tubo, una manual que puede ser activada por el usuario y una electrónica, esta última controlada por un receptor electrónico extraíble. There are two filling valves coupled to said tube, a manual that can be activated by the user and an electronics, the latter controlled by a removable electronic receiver.

La unidad de control contiene un acelerómetro, unidad de procesamiento central (CPU), para procesar los datos introducidos y recibidos, una batería recargable y un sensor de emisión de señales, para el envío de información al receptor electrónico situado en el bolsillo de la prenda de baño. Dicha unidad se encuentra en una pulsera de control que posee una pantalla y botones de activación, desactivación e introducción de parámetros. El acelerómetro registra los movimientos del usuario, filtrando los datos debido a las oscilaciones propias del agua, y detecta la ausencia de movimiento propia de una persona inconsciente. The control unit contains an accelerometer, central processing unit (CPU), to process the data entered and received, a rechargeable battery and a signal emission sensor, for sending information to the electronic receiver located in the pocket of the garment of bath. This unit is in a control bracelet that has a screen and buttons for activation, deactivation and input of parameters. The accelerometer records the user's movements, filtering the data due to the water oscillations, and detects the absence of movement of an unconscious person.

En aquellos eventos que considera anómalos, respecto a los algoritmos registrados previamente en la CPU por el usuario, se envía una señal de alarma al usuario, que, si no se desactiva mediante el botón de desactivación dispuesto en dicha pulsera o mediante el reinicio del nado, activará el sistema de inflado de la prenda de baño. In those events that it considers anomalous, with respect to the algorithms previously registered in the CPU by the user, an alarm signal is sent to the user, which, if not deactivated by means of the deactivation button provided in said bracelet or by restarting the swim , will activate the swelling system of the bathroom garment.

Los datos del acelerometro son almacenados en todo momento y podrán ser descargables, así como las alarmas registradas. The accelerometer data is stored at all times and may be downloadable, as well as the alarms recorded.

La cámara de aire (2) tiene unas dimensiones mayores en una de las partes, ya que de esta manera permite que el cuerpo nunca flote boca abajo (decúbito prono), ya que la mayor fuerza de flotación de uno de los lados de la cámara de aire provoca que el cuerpo gire sobre su eje longitudinal, hasta colocarse boca arriba, incluso cuando se encuentra inconsciente. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is an intelligent swimwear (1). As can be seen in figure 1, the bathroom garment (1) includes a zipper (3) to put it on more easily, two emergency lights (4) with electronic receivers, one on each side of the zipper on the part top of the garment, a pocket (5) containing a removable electronic receiver (7) and a bottle (6) of compressed air that is connected by a tube (8) to an air chamber (2), which It is arranged along the front of the garment (1) and around the back of the neck, being attached to said garment by any suitable means. The air chamber (2) has larger dimensions in one of the parts, since in this way it allows the body to never float upside down (prone position), since the greater buoyant force of one of the sides of the chamber of air causes the body to rotate on its longitudinal axis, until it is placed on its back, even when it is unconscious.

Además, contiene una válvula de vaciado manual (9) que puede ser utilizada por el usuario para extraer el aire de la cámara de aire (2) para su reutilización o en caso de que el llenado se haya producido por un fallo de detección de situación de peligro por parte del sistema. In addition, it contains a manual drain valve (9) that can be used by the user to extract the air from the air chamber (2) for reuse or in case the filling has been caused by a situation detection failure of danger from the system.

El receptor electrónico (7) extraíble contiene un receptor de comunicaciones y una batería recargable, conectados de manera inalámbrica con una pulsera de control (13) dispuesta en una de las extremidades del usuario. En la figura 2 se observa un sistema de inflado que comprende una botella (6) de aire comprimido, la cual se encuentra unida a la cámara de aire (2) por un tubo (8) de conexión y dos válvulas de llenado, una válvula manual (10) y otra válvula electrónica (1 1), esta última controlada por un receptor electrónico (7) extraíble. Dichas válvulas se encuentran unidas mediante un racor (12) a la botella (6) de aire comprimido. Se define como racor a una pieza metálica con o sin roscas en sentido inverso, que sirve para unir tubos.

Dichos botones serán utilizados también para indicar el comienzo y finalización de la actividad de baño.  - a screen (17), where the variables previously established by the user are displayed by using the buttons (18) positioned on the side of the bracelet. These buttons will also be used to indicate the beginning and end of the bathing activity.

Los emisores de señales situados en la pulsera de control (13) y los receptores situados en el receptor electrónico (7) de la prenda de baño (1), están conectados en todo momento, al comenzar la actividad en el agua. El acelerómetro registra los movimientos del usuario, filtrando los datos debido a las oscilaciones propias del agua, caracterizadas por presentar una trayectoria no cíclica y una baja frecuencia de repetición. Dichos movimientos podrán ser natatorios o no natatorios, como los que se pueden dar en actividades profesionales y/o de ocio dentro del agua. The emitters of signals located in the control bracelet (13) and the receivers located in the electronic receiver (7) of the bathing garment (1), are connected at all times, when starting the activity in the water. The accelerometer records the user's movements, filtering the data due to the water's own oscillations, characterized by presenting a non-cyclic trajectory and a low repetition frequency. These movements may be swimming or non-swimming, such as those that can occur in professional and / or leisure activities in the water.

Los movimientos natatorios están caracterizados por presentar una trayectoria cíclica (o trayectoria cerrada) y una alta frecuencia de repetición en función del tiempo, mientras que los movimientos no natatorios están caracterizados por presentar una frecuencia de repetición de movimientos baja o nula en función del tiempo. En aquellos eventos que considera anómalos o movimientos no natatorios, respecto a los algoritmos registrados previamente en la CPU, se envía una señal de alarma al usuario, que si no se desactiva mediante el botón de desactivación (16) dispuesto en dicha pulsera o el reinicio del nado, activará el sistema de inflado de la prenda de baño (1). Swimming movements are characterized by having a cyclic trajectory (or closed path) and a high repetition frequency as a function of time, while non-swimming movements are characterized by a low or zero repetition frequency of movements as a function of time. In those events that it considers anomalous or non-swimming movements, with respect to the algorithms previously registered in the CPU, an alarm signal is sent to the user, which if not deactivated by means of the deactivation button (16) provided in said bracelet or the restart of the swim , will activate the inflation system of the bathroom garment (1).

Los datos del acelerometro son almacenados en todo momento y podrán ser descargables, así como las alarmas registradas. La unidad de medida procesada será de movimientos por cada segundo. Las alarmas o las situaciones que las provoquen, pueden ser parametrizadas por el usuario en función de su criterio y de las características de la actividad y entorno en el que se desarrolla. The accelerometer data is stored at all times and may be downloadable, as well as the alarms recorded. The unit of measure processed will be movements per second. The alarms or the situations that cause them, can be parameterized by the user depending on their criteria and the characteristics of the activity and environment in which it is carried out.

Una vez descrita de forma clara la invención, se hace constar que las realizaciones particulares anteriormente descritas son susceptibles de modificaciones de detalle siempre que no alteren el principio fundamental y la esencia de la invención.
