Problems solved by technology

However, the sail control of the existing schooner is mainly through manual operation, and the control parameters need to be grasped according to the experience of the crew.
When the wind direction changes, changing the windward angle and tension state of the sail surface only through manual operation will have a certain hysteresis, and the control of the windward angle and tension state of the s

Example Embodiment

[0032] Example one:

[0033] See figure 1 and figure 2 , Which is a sail control mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to control the reefing and unfolding of a sailing sail, and includes a main driving component 3 and a transmission component. The main driving component 3 is used to receive control instructions and output power to control the execution of reefing and unfolding operations.

[0034] In this embodiment, the main driving component 3 is installed and fixed in the cabin or on the deck of the hull 1.

[0035] The transmission component is used to perform the reefing action and the sailing action. The transmission component is connected with the main driving component 3, the sail 4 and the mast 5 to transmit power to the mast 5 and the sail 4 fixed on one side of the mast 5 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the transmission component is a rope transmission component, that is, a pulley-rope mechanism is adopted to transmit the power output...

Example Embodiment

[0050] Embodiment two:

[0051] The second embodiment of the sail control mechanism of the present invention is basically the same as the above-mentioned first embodiment. The difference is that the main driving component 3 further includes a self-locking component (not shown in the figure). The components with self-locking function can be: for example, a DC motor with a worm gear reducer or a DC motor with a self-locking planetary reducer, or an additional brake on the motor output shaft. In this embodiment, by setting the components with self-locking function, when the main driving component 3 does not receive an external control command, the sail driving sub-component 31 and the reef driving sub-component 32 can respectively remain stationary, so as to achieve accurate and timely Control, adjust and maintain the wind-receiving area of ​​the sail surface to achieve the purpose of effective use of wind energy.

Example Embodiment

[0052] Embodiment three:

[0053] See figure 1 and Figure 4 , Which is a sailboat provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a hull 1, a mast 5 fixed on the hull 1, a sail 4 fixed on the mast 5 on one side, and a sail control mechanism, the sail control mechanism and the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The sail control structure and control principle of the sailing vessel in the second embodiment are basically the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0054] In one embodiment, a mast mounting bearing 8 (such as a thrust bearing, angular contact bearing, etc.) is installed between the root of the mast 5 and the hull 1 of the sailboat, so that it can bear the axial pressure and the lateral bending moment, and realize the mast 5 Rotate around a fixed axis.

[0055] The sailboat provided by the embodiment of the present invention can realize the control of the tension state of the sail in time through the sail control mechanism, and can automatically adjust the wind...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of sailing boat control, and provides a sail control mechanism and method and a sailing boat. The ail control mechanism comprises main driving parts and a transmission part. The main driving parts are used for receiving control instructions and outputting power to control and execute a sail furling action or a sail spreading action. The transmission part is connected with the main driving parts and a sail and used for transmitting the power onto the sail. The main driving parts comprise sail spreading driving subparts and sail furling driving subparts, and the sail spreading driving subparts and the sail furling driving subparts are all provided with driving parts, reels and rotary encoders, wherein each reel is connected with one side of the corresponding driving part, and the rotary encoders are connected with the other sides of the driving parts. According to the sail control mechanism and method and the sailing boat, control over the sail can be effectively achieved through the sail spreading driving subparts and the sail furling driving subparts; according to the sailing requirements of the sailing boat, the wind area of the surface of the sail can be adjusted automatically by receiving the control instructions, and the purpose of utilizing wind energy fully and effectively is achieved. The main driving parts are arranged in a waterproof sealing box on a boat body in a centralized mode, and therefore installation and maintenance are convenient to achieve.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sailboat control, in particular to a sail control mechanism, a control method and a sailboat. Background technique [0002] Self-driving sailboats can carry out guard patrols, scientific investigations, and environmental monitoring in large areas or large watersheds for a long time. The efficient use of wind energy, a renewable energy source, can significantly improve its endurance, and how to effectively control the sails is another important issue. The key to harnessing wind energy. [0003] A sailboat can propel the ship with the help of sails, and the wind area and tension of the sails will directly affect the sailing speed. The sails of existing sailboats can be mainly divided into two categories: horizontal sails and vertical sails. Horizontal sails are hung perpendicular to the hull; vertical sails are suspended parallel to the hull. Galleons with square sails can only be used to sail with the wind, and sa...
