DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 The present application is further described in detail.
[0021] The embodiment of the present application discloses a surfboard with a drag-reducing balance fin. Figures 1-5 The surfboard with a drag-reducing balance fin comprises a board body 1, a fin base 2 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the board body 1 near the rear end, and a fin 3 installed on the inner wall of the fin base 2 through a connecting mechanism. The fin 3 comprises a main body part 5 and an edge part 4. The main body part 5 is a thin plate structure with an arc-shaped contour, and its thickness gradually decreases from one end connected to the fin base 2 to the other end. The edge part 4 is arranged around the outer periphery of the main body part 5, and the thickness of the edge part 4 is smaller than that of the main body part 5. The outer surface of the edge part 4 is a smooth curved surface. A plurality of weight-reducing holes 6 are formed on the main body part 5. The weight-reducing holes 6 are uniformly distributed and penetrate through the thickness direction of the main body part 5. The edges of the weight-reducing holes 6 are chamfered to reduce the weight of the fin 3 while avoiding stress concentration.
[0022] The fin base 2 is streamlined, and its top end is smoothly and transitionally connected to the lower surface of the board body 1. A plurality of hollow flow guide cavities 7 are arranged in the fin base 2. The inner wall of the flow guide cavities 7 is provided with a plurality of interference flow protrusions 8, which are helically distributed along the inner wall of the flow guide cavities 7.
[0023] A positioning groove 9 is formed on the outer wall of the bottom of the fin base 2. The top end of the fin 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 10. The connecting block 10 is inserted into the positioning groove 9 in a matched manner. Clamping slots 18 are symmetrically formed on the outer walls of the two sides of the connecting block 10.
[0024] The connecting mechanism comprises two movable slots 11 formed in the inner part of the fin base 2. The two movable slots 11 are symmetrically arranged. A movable block 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable slot 11. A clamping block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the movable block 12, which extends into the inner part of the positioning groove 9 and is clamped with the clamping slot 18.
[0025] A spring 14 is further installed in the inner part of the movable slot 11. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable block 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable slot 11.
[0026] The bottom outer wall of the fin seat 2 is provided with two avoiding grooves 15, which are communicated with the two movable grooves 11 correspondingly, the inner wall of the avoiding groove 15 is slidably connected with a movable column 16, one end of the movable column 16 is fixedly connected with the movable block 12, and the other end of the movable column 16 is fixedly connected with a pushing block 17.
[0027] The implementation principle of the surfboard with the drag-reducing balance fin is as follows: when the surfboard is produced and manufactured, first, the prepared streamlined fin seat 2 is installed on the lower surface of the board body 1 near the rear end of the surfboard at a preset position by a suitable fixing mode such as glue, so as to ensure that the fin seat 2 is connected with the lower surface of the board body 1 firmly and smoothly.
[0028] During the process that the connecting block 10 enters the positioning groove 9, the connecting mechanism in the fin seat 2 is automatically triggered to lock the connecting block 10 in the positioning groove 9, so that the fin 3 is fixed on the fin seat 2, specifically: when the connecting block 10 enters the inside of the positioning groove 9, the outer wall of the connecting block 10 extrudes the two clamping blocks 13 in the inside of the positioning groove 9, the end portions of the two clamping blocks 13 are upwardly inclined, so that the connecting block 10 can easily extrude the two clamping blocks 13 outward, the two clamping blocks 13 push the two movable blocks 12 outward in the movable grooves 11, the movable blocks 12 extrude the springs 14 in cooperation with the inner walls of the movable grooves 11, the springs 14 generate elastic force by deformation, when the connecting block 10 completely enters the inside of the positioning groove 9, the clamping grooves 18 on the two sides of the outer wall of the connecting block 10 are aligned with the two clamping blocks 13, at this time, the connecting block 10 no longer extrudes the two clamping blocks 13, the movable blocks 12 are reset under the action of the elastic force of the springs 14, the movable blocks 12 drive the clamping blocks 13 to be clamped with the clamping grooves 18, so that the connecting block 10 is locked in the positioning groove 9, the installation of the drag-reducing balance fin is completed, and then the complete surfboard is assembled.
[0029] When the surfer carries the surfboard of the surfboard into the water to surf, the water flow first contacts the fin seat 2 in the process that the surfboard slides forward, due to the streamlined design of the fin seat 2 and the effects of the multiple flow guide cavities 7 and the interference flow protrusions 8 in the fin seat 2, the water flow can flow along the flow guide cavities 7 more smoothly, the original disordered water flow state is changed, the resistance to the entire surfboard is reduced, and meanwhile, the spiral distribution of the interference flow protrusions 8 further optimizes the water flow direction, so that the impact force of the water flow on the fin seat 2 is reduced.
[0030] And, the surfer can feel the balance on the wave, and conveniently dismount and reinstall the fin base 2 of different types through the connecting mechanism after landing on the shore, to fine-tune the balance effect, to adapt to different wave conditions and personal skill levels, specifically: manually dial two dial blocks 17, make two dial blocks 17 away from each other, dial block 17 drives two movable blocks 12 away from each other through movable column 16, and then movable block 12 drives clamping block 13 to disengage from the clamping groove 18, thereby releasing the locking of the connecting block 10, and the fin 3 together with the connecting block 10 is pulled out of the positioning groove 9 to complete the dismounting work, and when installing, the same reason according to the above operation of inserting the connecting block 10 into the positioning groove 9 can complete the fixation.
[0031] Finally, a few points should be noted: first, in the description of the present application, it should be pointed out that unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connecting", "connecting" should be understood broadly, which can be mechanical connection or electrical connection, or the communication between two elements, or direct connection, "up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate the relative positional relationship, when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change;
