TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention related to a multi-purpose training booth designed to improve diving, evacuation, escape and rescue training in both normal and unexpected emergency situations, surface and underwater environments, and application techniques. The training booth can be used for professional and personal competency training. Underwater technology is designed to be used in educational institutions, diving schools, water rescue, search and evacuation training, and all civil and military institutions and organizations that provide emergency landing training in aircraft water.

PRIOR ART

There is a high risk of life-threatening situations occurring in both surface and underwater environments. Professional divers, amateur divers, commercial fishermen, seamen, aviation workers, marine construction workers, search and rescue workers and employees in the military and similar water-related businesses are in a high-risk group in underwater and surface accidents. In all aquatic environments, there are few civilian or professional survival training and applications in our country to see how survivors and rescuers behave in situations such as falling, drowning, injury, compression, cable, rope, hose and equipment, accidents involving high-risk workplaces like water, land and air vehicle accidents and professional divers that can be found in all aquifer environments. First, the measures to avoid such undesirable situations and the actions to be taken after the incident has taken place are crucial in the survival of people's lives. Although there are lifesaving and first aid training courses in Turkey for swimming accidents, there is no training on accidents involving sea, air and land vehicles in the water environment. Rapid evacuation of the vehicle or environment where the person is present in accidents in water environments plays a vital role in preventing injuries that may be fatal, especially drownings in water. Skogdalen et al. , (2012) categorized primary threats and rescue operations that can occur in offshore accidents into three categories as the factors affecting type, time pressure and risk of the experienced threat. They also categorized the factors that affect the risk as human factors installation and threats. The success of the rescue operations has also indicated that the implementation of many technical and non-technical developments can lead to adequate effectiveness. In order to combat drowning in water environment accidents, it is known that all participants should receive training together and the trainings sessions supported by realistic scenarios and the necessary equipment is used in a one-to-one manner (Bierens 2014). In the United States, about 1.200 to 1.500 vehicles have been reported to have fallen off the road and fell into the water every year, and nearly 400 and 600 deaths have occurred. Detailed literature on these accidents is not available in our country. In such emergency situations, the driver must first carry out a pre-training test of the steps necessary to successfully recover from a vehicle in water and schedule, ensuring that rescue/escape tools are easily available during this type of use. Rescue staff are required to ensure that they are trained to be prepared to successfully respond to such incidents. They must also have the necessary Personal Protective Equipment and rescue tools to work safely and effectively with vehicles in the water. Drainage in case of water accidents involves the steps for unfastening belts, opening or breaking window glass, taking children outside (Dwarkin 2019).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The subject of the application related to the multi-purpose training booth that can perform normal and abnormal conditions in both the surface and underwater environments a reality and the subject is related to the identification of the production and use of the booth. It can be used as an application booth for normal professional training in both surface and underwater environments. It can also be used to improve diving, evacuation, escape and rescue training and application techniques by making emergency situations that may occur after accidents occur in these environments a reality. It is designed to be versatile and capable of implementing different scenarios. LIST OF FIGURES

The present invention is designed for the training performed for surface and underwater training. It consists of a training booth that allows multi-purpose learning to be implemented so that participants can receive realistic training to cope with normal and emergency situations where they may be encountered in the aquatic environment.

The entire body of the training booth is rectangular. The top main body and the bottom main body consist of two main parts that can be removed from the middle and added to the middle section, the demountable front profile (11 ), the right and left fixed outlet frame profiles and the demountable safety belt (14) that can be added to the floor and the detachable aluminium vehicle seat simulator (13) with assembly.

The rectangular frame forming the booth is made of aluminium bars. It has been produced from the demountable roof part (1), the side mounting profile bars (5), the lower floor profile bars (8), the demountable front profile bars (11) and the aluminium bars (10) with seat floor connection profile bar constituting lateral parallel outlet frame.

The roof section is connected to the four-corner welded aluminium round frame by dividing it into two equal sections with a profile welded exactly from the center to the main pillars parallel to the long edge. The floor plate (7) consists of an aluminium plate with a floor-sheet hole (6) and is welded with aluminium welds on the floor lower aluminium profile bars (8). The entire booth allows water to circulate freely and without build-up. It is equipped with a lifting eye (2), which is secured to a total of four bodies on the roof, one at each corner. Thanks to the lifting eye (2) welded on the corners in the roof, the chain block system and ropes can be held in the desired position, both surface and underwater and moved to the desired position. It is assembled with a demountable profile bar (3) that provides four optional disassembled and assembled couplers from the center section.

The demountable roof part (1) is made of aluminium round bars with underwater drain windows (4) on the right and left, and parallel side connection profile bars (5). The top main section is connected to the aluminium round bar frame welded from four corners. The optional removable profile bars (3) from the middle section are combined with four connection profile bars. When used as a diving training booth, the lower main section and the upper main section are used together and the trainee is training by standing.

When used for the purposes of training in the escape, rescue and evacuation after accidents with surface and underwater vehicles, the demountable center profiles (3) can be removed and the roof frame (1) mounted in the lower section. An aluminium car seat simulator (13) is mounted on the floor with a seat belt (14) assembly that can be removed and installed. The demountable aluminium vehicle seat simulator (13) is connected to the floor panel by four-seat floor mounting bolts (9) from the lower section with the vehicle seat floor attachment bar (10).

Twelve cork floaters (12) are mounted on the rear and both sidebars with demountable front profile bars (11) to allow the booth to float on the surface of the water. The demountable front profile bars (11) are mounted with front profile mounting bolts (15), which can be removed and refitted on the right-hand and left- hand side of the main post profile bars.

Thanks to the recess in the side mounting profile bars (5) and the output on the roof mounting bar (16), it is possible to extend the booth upwards with the extra extension bars (17). Two trainees can train together, either at the same time or one at a time. In addition, the booth can be enlarged to four people by adding pipes and seats. It can create realistic scenarios in both day and night environments and is used with the dark media provider glasses. It can be used as a diving platform for training on air pipes, cables, rope, hose routing and equipment installation. It can be used to combat cold water and to help the body to lose excessive heat (hypothermia).
