[0002] With continuous technological advancements, older, high-emission power plants will gradually be replaced. For large ships, their propulsion systems typically use diesel engines to drive propellers, providing the power source for navigation. Under these environmental requirements, a new type of ship sail propulsion system has emerged. This system works in conjunction with the ship's existing propulsion system to reduce its usage frequency, achieving energy conservation and environmental protection. The sail propulsion system requires specific operating conditions and wind speeds, and necessitates adjusting the sail's structural angle to match the wind direction for optimal performance. This sail propulsion system uses hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the sail, with multiple layers of cylinders pushing to change the sail's angle.
