Swimming pool safety apparatus and method

摘要

A swimming pool safety system, and method, uses a preservation mechanism that lifts a human-sized object from within a swimming pool to a top surface of the swimming pool. An underwater detection array detects the human-sized object within the swimming pool and generates a detection data. A preservation controller actuates the preservation mechanism in response to an automatic actuation signal that was generated based on the detection data so as to actuate the preservation mechanism to lift the human-sized object above the top surface of the swimming pool.

主权项

1. A swimming pool safety system comprising:
a preservation mechanism having a pool bottom platform having a shape that matches at least a part of a bottom of a swimming pool and lifts a human-sized object from within a designated area of the swimming pool to above a top surface of the swimming pool, the preservation mechanism includes a lifting mechanism connected to the pool bottom platform via a vertical structure; an underwater detection array having a plurality of sensors disposed under water and configured to detect the human-sized object within the swimming pool and generate detection data when the human-sized object is detected; and a preservation controller that includes a processing circuit configured to actuate the preservation mechanism in response to an actuation signal automatically generated based on the detection data so as to actuate the preservation mechanism and lift the human-sized object above the top surface of the swimming pool, a trigger time and ascension rate of the pool bottom platform corresponding to a detected size of the human-sized object.
