Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a borewell safeguarding and rescue system that is designed for detecting hazards, monitoring conditions, and providing real-time, automated rescue operations to ensure the safety of individuals, particularly children, in the vicinity of borewells, thereby improving both response efficiency and safety during emergencies.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Accidents involving borewells, where humans or animals fall into deep wells, represent a critical concern. In the past, emergency responders have depended on basic tools such as ropes, pulleys, and manual devices for conducting rescue operations. However, these techniques have significant limitations. As these frequently demand considerable physical exertion, expertise, and accuracy, making it extremely difficult to extract individuals, especially from narrow or deep borewells. As a result, individuals trapped in such wells are at a heightened risk of suffocation or harm while awaiting assistance. These constraints emphasize the need for more advanced methodologies and equipment to ensure quicker, safer, and more effective rescue operations.

[0003] Traditionally, rescue operations for borewell accidents were carried out using rudimentary and manual methods. The standard approach involved pulleys, which were utilized to lower rescuers or necessary equipment into the borewell to retrieve trapped individuals. Other basic tools, such as ladders, wooden planks, and hand-operated winches, were also employed; however, these methods were labor-intensive, slow, and heavily reliant on the physical strength and expertise of the rescuers. These conventional techniques were often ineffective, especially when dealing with deep, narrow, or debris-filled borewells. To enhance efficiency, some operations incorporated hydraulic jacks or pneumatic devices to assist with lifting or pulling, but these were typically used only in more advanced or well-resourced rescue missions. Despite the addition of such equipment, executing rescues quickly and safely in complex environments remained a challenging task.

[0004] CN111249647A discloses about an invention that includes a deep well rescue system, which comprises a deep well rescue standpipe, wherein the deep well rescue standpipe comprises an outer layer and an inner layer, the outer layer of the deep well rescue standpipe is made of Kevlar 5-grade yarn and coating rubber, an air bag and an air bag inflation hole are arranged on the deep well rescue standpipe, the inner part of the deep well rescue standpipe is connected with a hard rubber plastic pipe through a telescopic bracket, and a pipeline sling clip are arranged in the hard rubber plastic pipe; an air conveying pipe, a toxic gas pumping pipe, a milk conveying pipe and an audio and video life detector data line are arranged in the pipeline sling; the rescue device has the advantages that secondary damage to children falling into the well can be avoided in the rescue process, and meanwhile, oxygen and nutrition can be provided for the children in the well; the accident rescue efficiency can be improved, the rescue time can be shortened, and quick, efficient and humanized rescue can be realized. Although CN'647 pertains to a deep well rescue system, the cited invention does not include the capability for real-time communication with authorities or other relevant parties upon detecting a fall into the borewell.

Though CN’531 relates to a deep well rescue device. But the cited invention lack in providing oxygen supply, and safety precautions during the operation which results in making the rescue operation unsafe and less efficient.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed that are capable of rescuing individuals from borewell. However, these systems do not include the capability for real-time communication with authorities or other relevant parties upon detecting a fall into the borewell. Additionally, these existing systems also lack in providing oxygen supply, and safety precautions during the operation which results in making the rescue operation unsafe and less efficient.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that enable real-time communication with authorities and other relevant entities upon detection of a danger, thereby ensuring that immediate action is taken for effective rescue operations, In addition, the developed system also ensures the safety and comfort of the rescued individual by integrating health monitoring, oxygen supply, and safety precautions, thereby making the rescue process safer and more efficient.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a borewell safeguarding and rescue system that is capable of facilitating the constant observation of the area surrounding a borewell, and accordingly gives alert prompt actions to identify potential hazards, such as the fall of individuals into the borewell.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, and 2 a perspective view of a canopy mechanism installed with a borewell associated with a borewell safeguarding and rescue system and a perspective view of a mobile rescue unit associated with the proposed system is illustrated, respectively, comprising a sensing unit 101 installed in vicinity of a borewell, a speaker 102 provided near the borewell, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 installed near the borewell, a holographic projection unit 104 disposed near the borewell, a canopy mechanism 105 installed at an outlet of the borewell, comprising a circular slider 106 installed around the borewell, a mobile rescue unit 201 comprising a cuboidal housing 202 having four telescopic rods 203 having motorised omnidirectional wheels 204 at the ends, a hollow cuboidal box 205 connected with the housing 202 via a strap 206 spooled onto a motorised roller 207 incorporated in the housing 202, an artificial intelligence-based camera 208, installed on the box 205, a pair of conduits 209 provided in the box 205, plurality of LED (light emitting diodes) lights 210 provided on the box 205, a pump 211 connected with a hose 212, provided with the housing 202.

[0023] The system disclosed herein comprising a sensing unit 101 comprises an ultrasonic sensor and a proximity sensor, both of which are installed in the vicinity of the borewell to provide continuous monitoring of the surrounding area. The ultrasonic sensor functions by emitting high-frequency sound waves that detect changes in the proximity or movement of objects near the borewell, enabling to sense any nearby activity.

[0024] The proximity sensor further enhances this detection by measuring the distance between the sensor and any object or person within its range. Both sensors work in tandem to ensure real-time detection of potential hazards or movements around the borewell, thereby providing an early warning to prevent accidents or ensure timely intervention.

[0025] A speaker 102 is installed in close proximity to the borewell, designed to emit an audio alert to warn individuals to maintain a safe distance from the borewell. The speaker 102 is activated by the sensing unit 101 upon detecting any unauthorized or unsafe proximity to the borewell, triggering an audible warning. This alert serves to inform and caution living subjects like children or animals, thereby helping to prevent accidents or falls into the borewell by ensuring they are aware of the required safety distance. The speaker 102 operates continuously or as needed, in accordance with the detection signals from the sensors, ensuring that the area surrounding the borewell remains safe for individuals and animals.

[0026] An artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103, equipped with facial recognition module, is installed in the vicinity of the borewell and linked to a processing unit. This imaging unit 103 records and processes images of individuals approaching or present near the borewell. The facial recognition module is specifically configured to identify and differentiate the presence of a living subject within the vicinity by analyzing facial features.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the system may detect the presence of animals in close proximity to the borewell via the sensing unit 101 which is synced with the imaging unit 103. The sensing unit 101 work in tandem to monitor the surrounding area and detect any movement or presence of animals within a defined radius. Upon detection, the microcontroller may trigger an alert via the speaker 102 to deter the animal from approaching the borewell. This embodiment enhances safety by ensuring that animals are kept at a safe distance from the borewell area, preventing potential harm or accidental interaction with the hazardous environment.

[0028] The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 continuously captures visual data from the surroundings of the borewell using integrated cameras. The imaging unit 103 processes the captured images using machine learning protocols, which analyze the visual input in real-time. The imaging unit 103 identifies human figures within its field of view and classifies them based on predefined parameters, such as proximity to the borewell. The processor evaluates these inputs, identifying any potential threats, such as individuals approaching the borewell, and activates corresponding safety measures.

[0029] The facial recognition module analyzes the captured images using deep learning algorithms to detect and identify human faces. The module compares facial features with a stored database to determine the identity of individuals. When a face is detected, the system assesses characteristics like age, gender, and other demographics, specifically looking for signs of children. Upon identifying a child, the microcontroller actuates a holographic projection unit 104 which is disposed near the borewell.

[0030] The holographic projection unit 104 disclosed herein, comprises of multiple lens. After getting the actuation command from the microcontroller, a light source integrated in the projection unit 104 emits various combination of lights toward the lens which is further portrayed to project holographic images to warn the living subject to maintain safe distance from the borewell.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present invention, the projection unit 104 integrated with the system may be configured to project frightening images or visual warnings to deter or scare any living subject or unauthorized individuals who approach the borewell area. The images are intended to act as a safety precaution, creating a sense of discomfort or alertness, thereby reducing the likelihood of any unintended interaction with the borewell. These images may be activated automatically when the proximity of a person, particularly a child, is detected near the borewell, serving as a visual deterrent to prevent unsafe behaviour and protect individuals from potential hazards associated with the borewell.

[0032] A canopy mechanism 105 is installed at the outlet of the borewell, consisting of a circular slider 106 positioned around the borewell's perimeter. A segmented circular canopy is affixed to the slider 106, which is configured to slide along a predefined track. This mechanism 105 is designed to be actuated automatically when a rain sensor, strategically deployed in proximity to the borewell, detects the onset of rainfall.

[0033] In a condition where a living subject is trapped within the borewell and is required to be rescued and there is a likelihood of rainfall which may flood the borewell causing further detriment to the living subject, the canopy mechanism 105 covers the upper end of the borewell to prevent the rainwater from seeping into the borewell.

[0034] Upon detection of rainfall, the rain sensor sends a signal to activate the canopy mechanism 105, causing the segmented circular canopy to slide into position, effectively covering the borewell's opening. The deployment of the canopy prevents flooding or accumulation of water within the borewell, ensuring the integrity of the borewell structure and mitigating potential hazards associated with water ingress.

[0035] The rain sensor operates by measuring the presence of moisture on its surface. When the rain sensor detects a specified amount of rainfall, it generates an electrical signal indicating the onset of precipitation. This signal is transmitted to the microcontroller, which then triggers the activation of the circular slider 106. The rain sensor ensures that the canopy mechanism 105 is deployed only when necessary, preventing the borewell from being exposed to rain or potential flooding.

[0036] The circular slider 106 operates by sliding horizontally when activated. The slider 106 is connected to an actuator that moves it in response to signals from a rain sensor. As the circular slider 106 moves, the slider 106 carries the segmented canopy with it, ensuring the canopy is positioned over the borewell. The movement is precise, with the slider 106 designed to fit snugly along the borewell's circumference, allowing the canopy to fully cover the borewell's opening to prevent environmental intrusion.

[0037] A first wireless communication unit is integrated with the microcontroller, enabling seamless communication between the system and external entities. In case fall of a person within the borewell is detected by either of the sensing module 101 or imaging unit 103, the communication unit transmits a notification to designated authority personnel, providing real-time alerts regarding safety and rescue operations. The microcontroller is connected to the sensing unit 101, which is responsible for detecting a child’s fall into the borewell.

[0038] When the sensing unit 101 registers the presence of an individual in distress, particularly a child, the microcontroller processes this data and, upon confirming the fall, actuates the communication unit. The wireless communication unit then promptly pushes an emergency notification to the concerned authority, alerting them of the situation and ensuring swift response to mitigate risk and facilitate rescue efforts.

[0039] A GPS (Global Positioning System) unit is integrated with the microcontroller and is designed to accurately detect the geographic location of the borewell. Once the sensing unit 101 detects a fall or emergency event, the microcontroller processes the data and actuates the GPS unit to capture the exact coordinates of the borewell. These coordinates are then transmitted through the first communication unit, which relays the information to the relevant authorities. The GPS coordinates ensure that authorities receive real-time location data, enabling swift and accurate deployment of rescue teams to the site.

[0040] The microcontroller is preconfigured to actuate a mobile rescue unit 201 on detecting fall of an individual within the borewell. The microcontroller uses the first wireless communication as a means of communication with the mobile rescue unit inbuilt with a second wireless communication unit. The mobile rescue unit 201 comprises a cuboidal housing 202, equipped with four telescopic rods 203 positioned beneath the housing 202, with motorized omnidirectional wheels attached at the ends of the rods 203. These wheels are designed to facilitate the movement of the housing 202 across various terrains. The movement and direction of the housing 202 are controlled based on input received from a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor, which is embedded within the housing 202.

[0041] The LIDAR sensor emits laser beams towards the surrounding environment, measuring the time it takes for the beams to bounce back after hitting objects. Based on this data, the sensor calculates the distance to various surfaces. These distance measurements are processed to create a detailed, three-dimensional map of the terrain. The sensor continuously scans the area, updating the data in real-time. This enables the microcontroller to detect obstacles, measure elevation changes, and assess the surrounding terrain, providing critical input for the navigation and movement of the mobile rescue unit 201 across varying surfaces and obstacles.

[0042] Synchronously, the microcontroller actuates the telescopic rods 203. The rods 203 are pneumatically actuated, wherein pneumatic arrangement of the rods 203 comprises of a cylinder incorporated with an air piston and the air compressor, wherein the compressor controls discharging of compressed air into the cylinder via air valves which further leads to the extension/retraction of the piston. The piston is attached to the telescopic rods 203, wherein the extension/retraction of the piston corresponds to the extension/retraction of the rods 203. The actuated compressor allows extension of the rods 203 to position the wheels in an appropriate position.

[0043] The omnidirectional wheel comprises a wheel coupled with a motor via a shaft that is designed to move the housing 202 in any direction without changing the orientation of the housing 202 offering exceptional manoeuvrability to the housing 202. Upon actuation of the wheel by the microcontroller, the motor starts to rotate in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction in order to provide movement to the wheel via the shaft. The wheel thus enables the housing 202 to move seamlessly in any direction, making it valuable for moving and positioning the housing 202.

[0044] Referring to Figure 3, an internal view of a hollow cuboidal box 205 associated with the proposed system is illustrated, with the surfaces of the box 205 rendered to be transparent to enable a convenient reference of the interior of the box 205, the box 205 comprising a rectangular cushioned platform 301 attached within the box 205 by means of a sliding unit 302, an articulated L-shaped link 303 having a rectangular panel 304 at an end, a rectangular lid 305 attached with the box 205, plurality of safety belts 306, attached on the platform 301, multiple air blowers 307 are installed within the box 205, an audible unit 308 provided in the box 205, an oxygen mask 309 connected with an oxygen cylinder 310 provided in the box 205.

[0045] The hollow cuboidal box 205 is securely connected to the housing 202 via a strap 206, which is spooled onto a motorized roller 207 embedded within the housing 202. The system is designed to suspend the box 205 into the borewell by unwinding the strap 206. Upon activation, the motorized roller 207 allows for the controlled extension of the strap 206, lowering the cuboidal box 205 into the borewell for the purpose of rescuing a fallen living subjects. The precise control of the motorized roller 207 ensures safe and accurate positioning of the box 205 within the borewell, facilitating an effective rescue operation.

[0046] The motorized roller 207 mentioned above is a mechanical unit designed to rotate on its axis with the help of an integrated electric motor. The cylindrical roller tube serves as a surface for supporting, and unwinding the positioned strap 206. The motorized roller 207 is equipped with an electric motor that provides the rotational power necessary to turn the roller 207. The motor is connected to the roller tube through a drive mechanism, which involves gears, belts to transfer the motor’s rotational force to the roller 207, causing it to rotate for suspending the box 205 into the borewell for rescue of the fallen child.

[0047] A rectangular lid 305 is affixed to the box 205 via a pivot joint, enabling the controlled opening and closing of the box 205. The pivot joint allows for rotational movement of the lid 305 around a fixed axis, ensuring secure attachment while facilitating ease of access to the interior. The lid 305 is opened by applying force to rotate it about the pivot joint, providing unobstructed access to the box 205 contents. Conversely, the lid 305 is closed by rotating it back into a sealed position, ensuring the box 205 remains securely enclosed during transport or other operations.

[0048] The pivot joint comprises of a ring and cylindrical portion that are linked with each other to provide rotational movement to the lid 305. The ring is powered by a motor that is activated by the microcontroller to the rotate the ring to move the cylindrical portion due to which the lid 305 tilts. The motor is typically controlled by an electronic control unit that regulates its speed and direction. The joint consists of a hinge mechanism that enables rotation of the shaft that results in the rotational motion of the lid 305 for opening or closing of the box 205.

[0049] The wireless second communication unit is incorporated within the housing 202 to maintain continuous communication with the first communication unit. This unit ensures that data, alerts, and information related to the rescue operation are transmitted without interruption. It facilitates real-time communication between the rescue system and remote authorities, enabling swift coordination and response. The second communication unit is designed to function efficiently even in challenging environments, ensuring that rescue efforts are well-coordinated and effectively supported by external communication channels.

[0050] On the box 205, an artificial intelligence-based camera 208, is installed which determine position and dimensions of the living subjects. The camera 208 disclosed herein comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the surroundings and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 103 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 103 also comprises of the processor which processes the captured images.

[0051] This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data which are processed by the microcontroller to determine position and dimensions of the living subject in order to evaluate the best mode of rescuing the individual from the borewell.

[0052] The roller 207 is re-actuated accordingly to unspool the strap 206, allowing the box 205 to descend and reach the living subject within the borewell. A rectangular cushioned platform 301, secured within the box 205 through a sliding unit 302, is extended to provide a stable surface for the living subject to climb into the box 205. The sliding unit 302 ensures the platform 301 moves smoothly and securely into position, offering the living subject a safe and comfortable way to enter the box 205. Once the living subject is on the platform 301, further actions are taken to secure and safely lift the living subject out of the borewell.

[0053] The sliding unit 302 consists of a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in rotation of shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the slider results in translation of the box 205 to enable the living subject to climb into the box 205,

[0054] Plurality of safety belts 306 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is attached to the platform 301 within the box 205, designed to secure the living subject during rescue operations. These safety belts 306 are strategically positioned on the platform 301 to ensure proper restraint and minimize any movement of the living subject while being transported or rescued. The belts 306 are fastened securely around the child's body by means of electromagnets disposed at the end of the belts 306, providing stability and protection during the operation. The design of the safety belts 306 ensures that the living subject is safely contained within the box 205, preventing any risk of injury or displacement while being lifted or lowered into the box 205 for rescue.

[0055] The electromagnet is a specialized type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current wherein the electromagnet consists of wire wound into a coil. When the current is passed through the wire, it creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole in the center of the coil thus energizing the electromagnet that fastened belts 306 securely around the child's body.

[0056] An articulated L-shaped link 303, comprising a rectangular panel 304 with multiple hinges at one end, is activated to grip the living subject and provide support for climbing into the box 205. When actuated, the link 303 extends and adjusts its position to form an angle that aligns with the child's body, enabling it to assist in the climbing process. The hinges allow for flexible movement, ensuring the panel 304 adapts to the child's position and facilitates a secure grip. This ensures the living subject is safely assisted in climbing into the box 205, providing stability and support throughout the rescue operation.

[0057] The articulated L-shaped link 303 is activated by an actuator, causing it to extend and position itself at an angle relative to the living subjects. The link 303 adjusts its angle dynamically, using its pivot points, ensuring that it aligns properly with the child’s body to provide a firm grip. Once positioned, the link 303 applies controlled force to secure the child’s body, supporting them as they climb into the rescue box 205. The articulated nature allows the link 303 to maintain a constant grip, ensuring stability during the ascent.

[0058] The hinges enable the L-shaped link 303 to bend and adjust its angle. As the link 303 is actuated, the hinges allow rotational movement, facilitating the required extension or retraction to accommodate the child’s position. The hinges operate with precision, enabling the rectangular panel 304 to pivot smoothly along its axis. This ensures the panel 304 remains flexible, adapting to the child’s movements, and securing the child’s grip while climbing into the box 205. The hinges also maintain the structural integrity of the link 303 by distributing forces evenly, enhancing the efficiency of the gripping mechanism.

[0059] A health sensor, specifically a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor, is integrated within the rectangular panel 304 of the articulated L-shaped link 303. The FBG sensor is designed to monitor critical health parameters of the child, including but not limited to heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and oxygen saturation. Upon detecting any abnormal or unhealthy parameters, the sensor activates a notification protocol to alert relevant authorities. This enables immediate intervention, ensuring timely medical assistance if the child's health condition deteriorates during the rescue operation. The sensor continuously transmits real-time data, providing a continuous assessment of the child’s health status throughout the rescue procedure.

[0060] A pair of conduits 209 is integrated within the box 205, each being configured with air blowers 307 for the purpose of providing ventilation. The air blowers 307, upon activation, direct a continuous flow of air through the conduits 209, ensuring a supply of fresh air to the interior of the box 205. This ventilation arrangement is designed to maintain an adequate airflow, thereby preventing the accumulation of stale air and ensuring the safety and comfort of the individual inside the box 205. The conduits 209 and air blowers 307 function together to support the oxygenation process and to alleviate any potential suffocation risks during the rescue operation.

[0061] Once activated, the blowers 307 draw external air through intake vents. The air is then forced through the conduits 209, ensuring it flows into the box 205 interior. The blowers 307 maintain a steady airflow, providing continuous ventilation within the box 205. This airflow helps in maintaining a breathable environment, preventing the accumulation of harmful gases and ensuring a safe atmosphere for the individual inside. The blowers 307 are designed to operate at a controlled speed to regulate the amount of fresh air being delivered to the box 205.

[0062] A gas sensor embedded in the box 205 is configured to continuously monitor the oxygen level within the box 205 during a rescue operation. Upon detecting a drop in oxygen levels below a predefined threshold, the sensor triggers an audible unit 308 installed within the box 205. This audible unit 308 emits a clear, instructive sound, alerting the living subject to the necessity of putting on an oxygen mask 309. The mask 309 is connected to an oxygen cylinder 310 within the box 205, ensuring the living subject receives an adequate supply of oxygen, thereby safeguarding their well-being until help arrives.

[0063] The gas sensor continuously monitors the oxygen levels within the box 205. When the oxygen concentration falls below a set threshold, the sensor activates its detection mechanism. The gas sensor then sends a signal to the microcontroller unit to indicate the deficiency in oxygen levels. Upon detecting low oxygen levels, the sensor triggers a response in the system, alerting the audible unit 308 to activate and provide instructions to the living subjects. The gas sensor ensures that proper monitoring of the oxygen environment is maintained for the safety of the trapped individual during the rescue process.

[0064] Upon receiving a signal from the gas sensor indicating low oxygen levels, the audible unit 308 is activated. The audible unit 308 then emits a series of pre-programmed audible instructions, instructing the living subject to put on the oxygen mask 309 connected to the oxygen cylinder 310. These instructions are clear and designed to ensure that the living subject follows necessary safety protocols. The audible unit 308 continues to provide guidance until the living subject successfully uses the oxygen mask 309, thereby ensuring their well-being during the rescue operation.

[0065] On the box 205 plurality of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) lights 210 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is provided to offer illumination during rescue operations. These LEDs lights 210 are strategically positioned on the box 205 to ensure optimal visibility in the vicinity of the borewell, particularly in low-light conditions or during nighttime rescues. When activated, the LEDs emit bright light to illuminate the rescue area, assisting rescuers in navigating the environment and performing operations effectively.

[0066] The LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights 210 mentioned herein is a two-lead semiconductor light source also known as p-n junction which produce the lighting when constant voltage is supplied across the diode. When the voltage is supplied across the diode, the electrons recombine with the electrons hole in the diode which result in conversion of electron into photons which is another form of light that provide illumination during rescue. The LEDs enhance safety by providing clear visibility and reducing the risks associated with performing rescue tasks in dark or obscured surroundings.

[0067] A pump 211, connected to a hose 212 and housed within the designated housing 202, is actuated when the camera 208 detects flooding in the borewell. Upon identification of water accumulation, the camera 208 sends a signal to the microcontroller, which triggers the activation of the pump 211. The pump 211 then initiates the movement of water from the borewell through the connected hose 212, directing the water away from the site. This action effectively reduces water levels in the borewell, preventing further flooding and facilitating a safer environment for rescue operations.

[0068] In another embodiment of the present invention the length of the hose 212 is selected to reach the bottom of borewell of varying depths. A motorized spindle is installed within the housing 202 for storing the length of the hose 212 in a coiled form and dispensing the hose 212 cause by uncoiling of the hose 212 by the rotating of the spindle which works in the similar manner as of roller 207.

[0069] The mobile rescue unit 201 is equipped with soil moisture sensors that monitor the soil conditions surrounding the borewell, providing data for analysis against a pre-established database to identify soil types. A soil monitoring chamber embedded within the system is, which plays a vital role in evaluating these soil conditions. The chamber features a semi-circular plate attached to an extendable rod that words in the similar manner as of telescopic rods 203, which is connected to a motorized ball-and-socket joint for precision in collecting soil samples from the area surrounding the borewell. Once the samples are retrieved, these are placed on a designated platform 301 within the chamber for detailed analysis to assess soil quality and composition.

[0070] The soil moisture sensors operate by emitting electrical signals into the surrounding soil. These signals are absorbed by the soil, and the sensor measures the electrical resistance or capacitance of the soil. The amount of moisture in the soil affects the resistance, with wetter soil having lower resistance. The sensor continuously monitors the moisture level, converting the data into a readable output. The processed data is then transmitted to the microcontroller for further analysis. Based on the moisture levels detected, the microcontroller assesses the soil’s hydration and informs the rescue operation as needed.

[0071] In the case of detecting such conditions, the soil moisture sensors provide real-time data to the microcontroller. Upon detection of consistently wet soil or standing water, the microcontroller alerts the operators regarding the potential slipperiness of the surrounding terrain, indicating caution for safe operation. If a slick surface or patch is detected, a corresponding warning would be triggered, suggesting possible danger to anyone in proximity. Additionally, the detection of muddy tracks leading to or from the borewell prompt the microcontroller to issue a notification indicating that the soil may become hazardous when wet, requiring increased vigilance during rescue operations.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, the housing 202 may be configured to include multiple boxes 205 of varying sizes, attached with the housing 202 by means of straps 206, allowing for the selective placement of the appropriate box 205 within the borewell base. The selection of the box 205 size is determined based on the specific dimensions of the borewell, ensuring that the box 205 fits appropriately within the borewell structure. This flexibility allows for efficient adaptation to different borewell sizes, optimizing the functionality and effectiveness of the system by providing a customized solution for each unique application. The inclusion of multiple box 205 sizes further enhances the versatility and usability of the system.

[0073] Moreover, a battery is associated with the system for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the system and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the system, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the system.
