Ideal Car's Patent for Falling water escape is granted: Delay the sinking process and increase the chance of survival

In recent years, there have been many tragedies of drowning casualties caused by vehicles falling into the water. After the vehicle falls into the water, due to factors such as the vehicle stalling and the pressure changes on the vehicle underwater, it is difficult for the occupants of the vehicle to open the doors or windows, in which case it becomes much more difficult than on the ground if you want to leave the vehicle safely.

On January 29, the qicha app showed that a few days ago, Beijing Chehejia Information Technology Co., Ltd., an affiliate of Ideal Automobile, obtained the patent authorization of "vehicle falling water escape device and vehicle".

The abstract shows that the vehicle falling water escape device provided in the present disclosure embodiment includes: airbags, gas generators, detection units and controllers, air bags are provided in the body; the gas generator is connected to the air bags; the detection unit is used to detect whether the vehicle falls into the water; the controller is connected to the gas generator and the detection unit, respectively, for controlling the gas generator according to the detection signal transmitted by the detection unit.

When the vehicle falls into the water, the detection unit transmits the information of the detected vehicle falling into the water to the controller, and the controller controls the gas generator to inflate the air bag.

The inflated airbag can hold the vehicle on the surface of the water, delaying the process of the vehicle sinking, increasing the time of escape and the chance of survival.
