INFLATABLE COVER AND CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

An inflatable cover assembly includes a tarp body having an integral bladder with an air chamber. A tube is coupled to the bladder. An air pump is coupled to the tube. The air pump inflates and deflates the bladder via air pumped through the tube. A water sensor is coupled to the tarp body. The water sensor detects the presence of water on the tarp body and generates an electrical signal indicating the presence of water on the tarp body. A controller is in communication with the water sensor and the air pump. In response to receiving the electrical signal from the water sensor, the controller causes the air pump to inflate the bladder.

1. An inflatable cover assembly comprising:
a tarp body having a first surface and a second surface; a bladder coupled to the second surface of the tarp body, the bladder having an air chamber; a tube having a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the bladder, the tube in fluid communication with the air chamber; an air pump coupled to the second end of the tube, the air pump operable to inflate and deflate the bladder via air pumped through the tube; a water sensor coupled to the tarp body, the water sensor operable to detect the presence of water on the tarp body and generate a first electrical signal indicating the presence of water on the tarp body; and a controller communicatively coupled to the water sensor and the air pump, the controller configured to receive the first signal from the water sensor and in response to receiving the first signal, cause the air pump to inflate the bladder.
