The chute 113 is provided with at least two tension sensors 143 for detecting the force in the opposite direction. The arc plate 14 is provided with a cam shaft 141 at the inner side. The cam shaft 141 is connected to the tension sensor 143 by a first spring 142. In an example embodiment, there is only one arc plate 14 at the inner side of the belt. In another example embodiment, a plurality of arc plates 14 are disposed at the inner side of the belt. In another example embodiment, another strap that is fixed to the human body replaces the arc plate to connect with the tension sensor.

The rear end 11 of the belt is symmetrically provided with mounting plates 15 at left and right outer side. The rear end 11 of the belt is provided with a first bag 16 and a second bag 17. The first bag 16 is provided with a batter 35 and a micro controller 36.

The protrusion 111 is provided with a second spring 112 that extends into the indentation 152. The mounting plate 15 presses the second spring 112 so that the protrusion 111 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 15 by a first pin 151. The first pin 151 is arc-shaped. The first pin 151 is made from rigid material to avoid the deformation of the first pin 151 which will affects the drawing out.

As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting plate 15 is provided with a connecting hole 154 and an arc groove 150 at outer side. One inner side of the arc groove is provided with an arc rack 155. The other inner side of the arc groove 150 is provided with a rubber gasket 153 for collision prevention. The rubber gasket 153 may also be made of other material having a certain elasticity and can function as a cushion in a collision between the components.

As shown in FIG. 4, the life-saving device 2 includes a compressed gas tank 22 disposed in the second bag, a valve 23, and an airbag 21 disposed in the inter layer of the rear end 11 of the belt. The airbag 21 is fixedly connected to the belt 1. The medium that connects the airbag 21 with the belt 1 may be flexible materials such as chain, rope, etc.

As shown in FIG. 8, the valve 23 includes a housing 220, an inlet 232, an outlet 233, a sealing partition 234, a slider 230 that is disposed in the cavity of the housing 230 and slidably connects to the housing 230, and a pipe 236 fixedly disposed on the slider 235.

In an example embodiment, the sealing partition 234 is preformed by the sealing material and is put into the air valve 23d during use. The sealing partition 234 is pressed towards the valve 23 by the compressed gas tank 22. In another example embodiment, the sealing partition 234 is directly fixed to the inlet 232 of the valve 23.

In an example embodiment, the compressed gas tank 22 has an inflation port and an outlet 233. After the outlet 233 of the compressed gas tank 22 is threadedly connected to the inlet 232 of the valve 23, the compressed gas tank 22 is inflated by the inflation port of the compressed gas tank 22. In another example embodiment, the compressed gas tank 22 has a predetermined push-type air switch. The outlet 233 of the compressed gas tank 22 is threadedly connected to the intet 232 of the valve 23, which will trigger the air switch, and thereby the compressed gas tank 22 provides gas to the externals.

The inner cavity of the upper cylinder 32 is provided with a first motor 322 with a propeller. The first motor 322 is responsible for generating thrust. The bottom end of the upper cylinder 32 is provided with a second motor 324. The second motor 324 is driven to connect with the arc rack 155 by a gear. The tail of the upper cylinder 32 is moved upwardly and downwardly by the second motor 324, thereby changing the direction of the thrust.

The lower cylinder 33 is composed of a plurality of sleeves. The outside of the top end of the sleeves is provided with an outer convex ring. The inner side of the end of the sleeves is provided with an inner convex ring. The adjacent two sleeves are set to each other. The outer convex ring is in contact with the inner convex ring. The top end of the lower cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the upper cylinder 33. The bottom end of the lower cylinder 33 is connected to the mounting plate 15 by an electric vat 34. The lower cylinder 33 is swung left and right that is driven by the electrical vet 34, thereby changing the direction of the thrust of the lower cylinder 33.

The top end of the upper cylinder 32 is provided with a protective cover 31 made of screen. The protective cover 31 prevents the damage caused by the collision between the filter 321 and rocks, etc.

The micro controller 36 electrically connects to the batter 35, the tension sensor 143, the first motor 322, the second motor 324, and the electric vat 34, respectively. The lower cylinder 33 is provided with a first gyroscope 37 and a water pressure sensor 38. The first gyroscope 37 and the water pressure sensor 38 are respectively electrically connected to the micro controller 36. The fastener 13 is provided with a second gyroscope electrically connected to the micro controller 36.

The micro controller 36 analyzes the signals detected from the tension sensor 143, the first gyroscope 37, the water pressure sensor 38, and the second gyroscope and generate control instructions, which control the movement of the first motor 322, the second motor 324, and the electrical vat 34. For example, if the tension sensor 143 detects that the human body rotates to the left with respect to the belt 1, the first motor 322 on the left will stop and the first motor 322 on the right will turn on, and the electrical vat 34 will pull the lower cylinder 33 inwardly to drive the propulsion device to rotate other components to the left. As another example, to prevent the diving depth of users exceeds the pre-set safety value, the water pressure 38 detects the diving depth of the users real-time. When the diving depth exceeds the pre-set value, the first motor 322 stops or the first motor 322 proceeds to run to change the thrust direction of the propulsion device to be upwards, which will pull the users until a depth that is within the safety value. As another example, when the second gyroscope detects that the human body tilts, the thrust direction of the propulsion device is adjusted by the movement of the second motor 324 and the electrical vat 34, until the inclination angle detected by the first gyroscope 37 coincides with the inclination angle of the human body.

A portable self-adjusting underwater booster with a life-saving device of the invention includes a belt, a life-saving device and a propulsion device. The belt fixes to the waist of the human body. The life-saving device and the propulsion device are connected to the belt. The life-saving device can pull the second pin to allow the gas to enter the airbag and generate buoyancy to drag the body out of the water. The belt is provided with a mounting plate. The propulsion device is installed on the mounting plate. Activities in multiple directions can be achieved by the driving of the second motor and the electrical vat. It can achieve the thrust that is exerted on the human body in multiple directions. The mounting plate and the belt are fixedly connected by the first pin. When emergency happens, the first pin can be pulled out to abandon the propulsion device. The arc plate in the inner side of the belt connects to the tension sensor, and transmits the signal of relative rotation to the micro controller. The second gyroscope detects the inclination angle of the human body. The first gyroscope is used to detect the rotation angle of the propulsion device relative to the human body. The water pressure sensor is used to detect the dive depth in order to avoid the danger caused by deep diving. The device has advantages of having simple and reasonable structure, being convenient to use, safe and reliable, high degree of intelligence with life-saving device.
