Specific details for implementing the invention

[0025] The configuration and operation of a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0026] Here, it should be noted that when assigning reference numerals to the components of each drawing, identical components are denoted by the same numeral whenever possible, even if they are shown on different drawings.

[0027] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a floating body equipped with a roll reduction device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of a floating body equipped with a roll reduction device according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a floating body (100) equipped with a lateral oscillation reduction device according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a main body part (110), a water tank part (120), and an anti-rolling part (130).

[0029] The configuration of the present invention is described in detail as follows.

[0031] First, the main body (110) forms the main body of the floating body (100) and may be formed in the shape of a rectangular prism with a longer front-to-back length than the left-to-right length, having a receiving space provided inside.

[0032] In this case, the main body (110) may be formed of a synthetic resin material such as polyethylene (PE).

[0033] And the remaining space inside the main body (110), excluding the part equipped with the water tank (120) and anti-rolling part (130) to be described later, may be filled with EPS (filler, styrofoam, etc.) or configured as an empty space.

[0035] The above water tank section (120) may be symmetrically spaced apart on both sides inside the main body section (110). This water tank section (120) stores water of a predetermined height in its internal space to lower the center of gravity of the main body section (110), and in addition, when the main body section (110) shakes left and right due to waves, etc., it can maintain a horizontal position together with the anti-rolling section (130) described later.

[0036] Specifically, referring to FIG. 2, the water tank section (120) may be provided with a first tank (121) positioned on the inner left side of the main body section (110), and a second tank (123) positioned symmetrically spaced apart on the inner right side of the main body section (110) and connected to the first tank (121) via a connecting passage (125).

[0037] As the lower portions of the first and second tanks (121) (123) are connected via a connecting passage (125), the water stored inside can move between the first and second tanks (121) (123) when the main body (110) tilts left and right.

[0038] In this case, it is preferable that the space inside the first and second tanks (121) (123) contains more than half the amount of water relative to the total height of the main body (110).

[0040] The above anti-rolling part (130) can prevent the movement of water stored in the water tank part (120) when the main body part (110) floating on water is tilted left or right by waves, thereby allowing the main body part (110) to maintain a horizontal state.

[0041] Specifically, the anti-rolling section (130) may include left and right cylinders (131) (133) formed to have an internal space smaller than the internal space of the first and second tanks (121) (123) in the space between the first and second tanks (121) (123), having a predetermined height of water contained inside and connected via a connecting passage (134) at the bottom, a first air connecting pipe (135) with one end connected to the top of the first tank (121) and the other end connected to the top of the right cylinder (133), a second air connecting pipe (137) with one end connected to the top of the second tank (123) and the other end connected to the top of the left cylinder (131), and opening / closing balls (139) arranged one by one so as to float on the water inside the left and right cylinders (131) (133). In this anti-rolling section (130), when the main body (110) tilts to one side or the other, the opening / closing ball (139) can selectively seal the other end of the first air connection pipe (135) or the other end of the second air connection pipe (137).

[0042] In this case, the anti-rolling part (130) may be positioned in the center between the first and second tanks (121) (123). And the first and second air connecting pipes (135) (137) may be formed with the same length.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 3, the other ends (135a) (137a) of the first and second air connection pipes (135) (137) can be positioned so that the openings face downward on the inner central axis of the left and right cylinders (131) (133).

[0044] In addition, the other end (135a) (137a) of the first and second air connection pipes (135) (137) can be extended to a predetermined length along the central axis of the left and right cylinders (131) (133).

[0045] In addition, the guide tube (138) may be formed of rubber or synthetic resin material so as to seal the gap between it and the opening / closing ball (139).

[0046] Referring to FIG. 4, in the case where the main body (110) of this structure is tilted to the left at a predetermined angle (θ), the water stored in the left and right cylinders (131) (133) moves to the left cylinder (131) side through the connecting passage (134), causing the water level inside the left cylinder (131) to rise. In this case, at the moment the opening / closing ball (139) floating on the water inside the left cylinder (131) blocks and seals the other end (137a) of the second air connecting pipe (137), the movement of the stored water can be restricted by the air pressure inside the first and second water tanks (121) (123).

[0047] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, the other end of the first and second air connection pipes (135) (137) may be provided with a guide pipe body (138) having a shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with an internal diameter that becomes larger as it goes downward, so as to induce movement of the opening / closing ball (139) when the main body (110) is tilted.

[0048] Meanwhile, the water tank section (120) and the anti-rolling section (130) may be spaced apart symmetrically at the front and rear of the main body section (110), or a plurality of them may be spaced apart along the front and rear length direction of the main body section (110).

[0050] The operation of a floating body (100) equipped with a lateral motion reduction device according to the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 6, when the main body (110) floating on water tilts to the left due to waves or the like, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the left cylinder (131) of the anti-rolling part (130) can block and seal the other end (137a) of the second air connection pipe (137). At the same time, due to the sealing operation of the anti-rolling part (130), resistance is generated to the right, which is the opposite direction of the tilt of the main body (110), thereby allowing the main body (110) to maintain a horizontal state. When the main body (110) maintains a horizontal state, the left and right cylinders (131) (133) of the anti-rolling part (130) are both switched to an open state.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 7, when the main body (110) tilts to the right, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the right cylinder (133) of the anti-rolling part (130) can block and seal the other end (135a) of the first air connection pipe (135). At the same time, due to the sealing operation of the anti-rolling part (130), resistance is generated to the left, which is the opposite direction of the tilt of the main body (110), thereby allowing the main body (110) to maintain a horizontal state.

[0054] Meanwhile, the above anti-rolling part (130) can be modified and applied in various structures.

[0055] Specifically, referring to FIG. 8, the anti-rolling unit (130') according to the second embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a cylinder (132) of a predetermined length arranged along the direction in which the first and second tanks (121) (123) are spaced apart in the space between the first and second tanks (121) (123) (see FIG. 2).

[0056] In this case, one end of the first air connection pipe (135) may be connected to the upper part of the first tank (121), and the other end may be connected to one side of the cylinder (132). Also, one end of the second air connection pipe (137) may be connected to the upper part of the second tank (123), and the other end may be connected to the other side of the cylinder (132).

[0057] In addition, an opening / closing ball (139) may be movably arranged along the longitudinal direction inside the cylinder (132).

[0058] In a floating body (100) with an anti-rolling part (130') of this structure applied, when the main body part (100) tilts to the left, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the cylinder (132) can block the other end of the first air connection pipe (135) to seal it (see FIG. 9).

[0059] And when the main body (100) is tilted to the right, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the cylinder (132) can block the other end of the second air connection pipe (137) to seal it.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 10, the anti-rolling part (130) according to the third embodiment of the present invention may be modified and applied in a structure in which the cylinder (132) applied to the anti-rolling part (130') is divided into two.

[0062] Specifically, in the anti-rolling section (130) according to the other embodiment, left and right cylinders (131') (133') of a predetermined length may be arranged in the space between the first and second tanks (121) (123) (see FIG. 2) along the direction in which the first and second tanks (121) (123) are spaced apart.

[0063] In this case, one end of the first air connection pipe (135) may be connected to the upper part of the first tank (121), and the other end may be connected to the left cylinder (131'). Also, one end of the second air connection pipe (137) may be connected to the upper part of the second tank (123), and the other end may be connected to the right cylinder (133').

[0064] In addition, an opening / closing ball (139) can be movably arranged along the longitudinal direction inside the above-mentioned left and right cylinders (131') (133').

[0065] In a floating body (100) to which an anti-rolling part (130) of this structure is applied, when the main body part (110) tilts to the left, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the left cylinder (131') can block the other end of the first air connection pipe (135) to seal it (see FIG. 11).

[0066] And when the main body (110) is tilted to the right, the opening / closing ball (139) inside the right cylinder (133') can block the other end of the second air connection pipe (137) to seal it.

[0068] Meanwhile, although the present invention illustrates an example in which the main body (110) is formed as a rectangular prism, it is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 12, the main body (110') according to another embodiment may be modified to have both sides formed at a predetermined slope so that the upper surface area is formed wider than the lower surface.

[0070] In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 13, the main body (110) may be formed to resemble a boat shape in which the area gradually narrows from the top to the bottom.

[0071] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 14, the main body (110) may be formed in a shape including a rectangular top plate (111) and a plurality of buoyancy pipes (113) spaced apart from the bottom surface of the top plate (111) to provide buoyancy.

[0072] And as shown in FIG. 15, a pair of left and right water tank sections (120) and anti-rolling sections (130, 130', 130") can be fixed to bracket holders, etc. in the space between the top plate (111) and the buoyancy pipe (113).

[0074] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described above with specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is understood that various changes and modifications are possible within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention.
