DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The sail of the present invention adopts an integrated structure to eliminate the traditional concept of mast and sail blades, and uses non-metallic materials to form the sail blades and mast into one piece, collectively referred to as a sail body. The non-metallic material used in the sail body is preferably glass fiber or carbon fiber material, which can greatly reduce the weight and cost of the sail body. The following will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the sail is an integrated structure.

[0045] A mast seat 6 is provided at the bottom of the sail body 1, and a flip axis 7 is provided on the mast seat 6. The sail body 1 can realize a 0-90° posture flip operation around the flip axis; the mast seat 6 is provided with a first vertical limit surface 18 and a second vertical limit surface 19. When the sail body 1 realizes a 90° upright state (working position), the vertical limit of the mast seat 6 and the common base 2 is realized through the vertical limit surface. The mast seat 6 needs to ensure that the sail body 1 does not structurally interfere with the common base 2 during the 0-90° flipping process, and realizes limit constraint in the 90° upright state, so that the sail remains in an upright state. Preferably, the mast seat 6 is a hemispherical arc structure to improve the compactness of the base size; preferably, the first vertical limit surface 18 of the mast seat 6 is a plane; preferably, the second vertical limit surface 19 of the mast seat 6 is an arc surface. When the sail changes from a tilted position of 0° to an upright position of 90°, the flip axis 7 bears the weight and rotation function of the sail body 1; in the upright position of 90°, the sail body 1 is subjected to a horizontal forward thrust, at which time a bending moment will be generated around the flip axis 7, and the bending moment is mainly transmitted to the common base 2 by the first vertical limit surface 18 fitting with the limit surface of the common base 2, and the second vertical limit surface 19 plays an auxiliary force limiting role; in the upright position, the gravity of the sail body 1 is mainly transmitted to the common base 2 by the mast seat 6.

[0046] like Figure 2 Shown is the common base structure of the sail.

[0047] The common base 2 at the bottom contains a rotating mechanism to realize the rotation of the sail body 1 around the vertical axis, and the attitude of the sail is adjusted according to the wind direction angle to obtain the maximum windward force effect.

[0048] A mast support groove 21 is provided in the middle of the common base 2. The mast support groove 21 is preferably a curved structure to ensure that the sail body 1 does not structurally interfere with the support groove 21 of the common base 2 during the 0-90° flipping of the sail body. Grease is applied inside the mast support groove 21.

[0049] A flip shaft support assembly 4 and a support hole 9, an equipment room 22, a sail blade bottom support surface 25 and other structures are arranged above the common base 2. The flip shaft support hole 9 cooperates with the flip shaft 7 to realize the flipping operation and bear part of the gravity load of the sail body 1 during the flipping process of the sail body 0 to 90°; a top opening 23 is provided at the top of the equipment room 22 on the sail blade bottom support surface 25, for the equipment in the equipment room 22 and the wire rope 14 to pass through.

[0050] The mast support groove 21 at the bottom of the common base is provided with a third vertical limit surface 17, which is preferably a plane, so as to be in contact with the first vertical limit surface 18 of the bottom mast seat 6, thereby realizing the main force of the sail body under the thrust state in a 90° upright posture.

[0051] A fourth vertical limit surface 20 is arranged above the common base support hole 9 and between the sail blade bottom support surface 25. The limit surface is preferably a curved surface, which is fitted with the second vertical limit surface 19 of the bottom mast seat 6, thereby achieving auxiliary force when the sail body is in a 90° upright posture and subjected to thrust.

[0052] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the jacking device.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown in 3-1 and 3-2, a jacking device 10 is arranged in the equipment room 22 on the common base 2. The jacking device 10 can be a screw jacking mechanism, a hydraulic cylinder jacking mechanism, an electric push rod jacking mechanism, etc. The jacking device 10 is arranged on both sides of the equipment room 22 near the mast seat 6, preferably two sets, preferably, two jacking guide rails 24 are arranged on the bottom surface 5a of the sail blade and directly above the jacking device 10, so as to realize the guiding and limiting effect of the jacking device 10 in the process of pushing out the sail blade 5.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown in 3-3, 3-4, 3-5, and 3-6, the operation process of the pushing device 10 under different flipping postures of the sail is shown.

[0055] When the sail starts to flip from the 90° upright state, the pushing device 10 pushes out to provide an initial flipping torque to flip the sail body 1 around the flip axis, thereby realizing the first half of the flipping of the sail body 1 (the first flipping process). Figure 3 As shown in 3-4. Figure 3 As shown in 3-5 and 3-6, after the sail body 1 realizes a large-angle flip around the flip axis 7, the pushing device 10 is automatically disengaged from the pushing guide rail 24 on the bottom surface 5a of the sail blade, and the sail body 1 is pulled by the wire rope 14 to realize a smooth flipping of the second half of the dumping (the second flipping process). At this time, the pushing device 10 can be retracted or maintained in the pushing state.

[0056] like Figure 4 The figure shows the support rod knot and winch arrangement.

[0057] Above the common base 2, near the fourth vertical limiting surface 20, the support rod 12 structure is arranged obliquely, such as Figure 4 4-1. The support rod 12 structure can be a variety of retractable mechanisms such as a screw lifting mechanism, a hydraulic cylinder lifting mechanism, an electric push rod lifting mechanism, or a fixed support rod non-retractable mechanism; a wire rope guide pulley 16 is arranged above the support rod 12 structure, and the wire rope guide pulley 16 can be adjusted in height through a retractable support rod to ensure that the wire rope 16 does not interfere with the common base 2 structure during the tilting process of the sail body 1.

[0058] like Figure 4As shown in 4-2 and 4-3, according to the size and weight of the sail body and the stress during the dumping process, one set of support rod 12 structures can be arranged and cooperate with one winch 13, or two sets of support rod 12 structures and two winches 13 can be arranged.

[0059] like Figure 5 The figure shows the wire rope connection scheme.

[0060] A wire rope connector 15 is embedded in the sail 1. Preferably, the wire rope connector 15 is arranged at the center of gravity of the sail and in the upward area, and is arranged along the vertical center line of the sail 1. Preferably, the wire rope connector 15 is in the form of a hanging ear structure. One end of the wire rope is connected to the wire rope connector 15, and is connected to the winch 13 through the guide pulley 16 at the top of the support rod 12 structure. The winch 13 controls the opening and closing posture of the sail by tightening and loosening the wire rope 14.

[0061] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0062] like Figure 6 The figure shows the operation process of the sail from 0° tilting to 90° upright state.

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown in 6-1, the sail is in a 0° tilted state. At this time, the support rod 12 structure extends the guide pulley 16 to the working position, the winch 13 is started, and the wire rope 14 is gradually retracted to pull the sail up from the 0° tilted state.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown in 6-2, when the sail is pulled up to the first upright process state, the pushing device 10 is extended to the highest working position, ready to receive the sail body 1. The winch 13 continues to retract the wire rope 14 to realize the flipping and uprighting operation process of the sail body 1.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown in 6-3, when the sail is pulled up to the second upright process state, the top of the pushing device 10 contacts the bottom surface 5a of the sail blade to push the guide rail 24, so that the sail body 1 can be received. At this time, the winch 13 continues to retract the wire rope 14, and the pushing device 10 is retracted synchronously. In this state, the uprighting of the sail mainly depends on the pulling force of the wire rope 14 of the winch 13, and the pushing device 10 plays an auxiliary supporting role. The two cooperate synchronously to ensure the safe and stable flipping of the sail body 1 at the end of the upright stroke.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown in 6-4, the sail is in a 90° upright state, the jacking device 10 is fully retracted, and the winch 13 tightens the locking wire rope 14. At this time, under the thrust of the wind, the sail is mechanically limited to a 90° upright state by the limiting surface of the mast seat 6 at the bottom of the sail and the common base 7, and the winch 13 wire rope 14 plays an auxiliary tightening role.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown in 7-1 and 7-2, when the sail changes from the 90° upright state to the dumping state, the pushing device 10 extends to the bottom surface 5a of the sail blade to push the guide rail 24, and the pushing device 10 continues to extend, and the winch 13 releases the wire rope 14 synchronously. In this state, the dumping of the sail mainly depends on the thrust of the pushing device 10, and the winch 13 and the wire rope 14 play an auxiliary tightening role. The two cooperate synchronously to achieve the safe and stable flipping of the sail body 1 in the early stage of dumping. When the sail is in the first dumping process state, the pushing device 10 is separated from the sail body 1, and the sail body 1 continues to flip under the action of gravity, and the winch 13 and the wire rope 14 achieve auxiliary tightening.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown in 7-3, when the sail is in the second dumping process, the pushing device is completely separated from the sail body 1, and the sail body 1 continues to flip under the action of gravity, and the winch 13 wire rope 14 is auxiliary tightened. Figure 7 As shown in 7-4, the sail is flipped to a 0° tilted state, and the journey ends.

[0069] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
