[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people are now seeking more leisure and entertainment options to pursue spiritual fulfillment. For example, when engaging in water sports, motorboats are often chosen. However, when it is necessary to transport people or goods by motorboat over short distances, motorboats are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient due to their limited carrying capacity, and the entertainment options are limited, failing to provide people with the desired satisfaction. Renting other transport vessels such as speedboats would incur additional unnecessary expenses and also have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a solution that can effectively address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a catamaran, which includes a catamaran body 1 and a catamaran extension 2. The catamaran body 1 includes multiple floating pods 11 and a platform 12. The multiple floating pods 11 are spaced apart from each other, and the platform 12 is mounted on the floating pods 11. In this embodiment, the number of floating pods 11 is set to two, but other numbers are also possible. The catamaran extension 2 is located in the middle of the two floating pods 11, and its end is connected to the edge of the platform 12. Specifically, the first end of the catamaran extension 2 is rotatably connected to the catamaran body 1, and the second end is provided with a clamping member 21.

[0031] Specifically, the end of the catamaran extension 2 is rotatably connected to the platform. The catamaran extension 2 can rotate around the side of the platform in both the water surface direction and the vertical direction, so that the catamaran extension 1 can be adjusted in position to connect with vehicles such as motorboats. The clamping member 21 can be, for example, Figure 2The semicircular ring shown can be wrapped around and fixedly connected to a cylindrical component. For example, many handles on a motorboat are cylindrical, and the semicircular ring can be wrapped around and fixedly connected to the cylindrical handle. Furthermore, locking straps can be used to further secure the semicircular ring and the cylindrical handle to prevent them from falling off. However, it is understood that, in addition to a semicircular ring with a radial arc of 180 degrees, a larger semicircular ring with a radial arc slightly exceeding 180 degrees can also be used to prevent it from falling off. Of course, in this case, the clamping member 21 can undergo a small deformation to allow it to smoothly engage with the cylindrical component. The clamping member 21 is preferably made of stainless steel, but it can also be made of plastic; there is no limitation on this.

[0032] It is understood that the catamaran provided in this embodiment also includes two propulsion modules 3, which are detachably connected to the catamaran body 1. The propulsion modules 3 are configured such that when both propulsion modules 3 operate at the same power, the catamaran body 1 moves forward in a straight line; when one of the propulsion modules 3 reduces or increases its power, the catamaran body 1 steers according to the power difference between the two modules. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the propulsion module 3 is located inside the propulsion module 3 compartment, and a propeller is connected externally to the propulsion module 3 compartment, suspended externally from the compartment. When the catamaran body 1 moves forward in a straight line, adjusting one of the propulsion modules to reduce or increase its power causes the catamaran body 1 to steer according to the power difference between the two propulsion modules 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the catamaran extension 2 may also be equipped with multiple stepped crossbars 22 to allow personnel to move between the motorboat and the catamaran. The catamaran extension is preferably equipped with a ladder.

[0034] Furthermore, the catamaran extension 2 can also be a rope, with one end connected to the catamaran body 1 and the other end connected to a clamping member 21. The clamping member 21 can be fixedly connected to a watercraft such as a motorboat. In addition, the clamping member 21 can also have a certain weight, so that when it is submerged in water, it can also act as an anchor to restrict the movement of the catamaran.

[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the floating hull 11 adopts a streamlined design and is made of a lightweight material with low density and large volume. This reduces its overall weight while still meeting load-bearing requirements. Figure 2 As shown, the front and rear ends of the floating tank 11 are designed in a V-shape, with the middle load-bearing section being wider than the ends, giving it an overall elliptical shape, and reserving a connection point with the platform 12. The platform 12 can be designed in an irregular shape to ensure aesthetic appeal. The platform is thicker in the middle and thinner on both sides, giving it a streamlined aesthetic. The bottom can be reinforced, and mounting holes are reserved on both sides for connection with the floating tanks 11 on both sides.

[0036] The catamaran provided in this embodiment can be detachably connected to the motorboat through its catamaran extension, thereby expanding the carrying capacity of the existing motorboat at a low cost.

[0037] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a catamaran, which includes a catamaran body 1 and a catamaran extension 2, the extension 2 being rotatably connected to the catamaran body 1. After the catamaran reaches a certain water area by being pushed or pulled by a motorboat, the motorboat can be detached from the extension 2, allowing the extension 2 to rotate to a position in contact with the water surface, for example, to a position perpendicular to the horizontal or to a position where... Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the catamaran is positioned at a certain angle, allowing users to enter the water via an extension (such as an escalator). After swimming in the water, users can use the escalator to ascend from the water to the platform, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0038] The catamaran hull 1 includes two floating pods 11 and platforms 12 mounted on the pods 11. Platforms 12 are equipped with sofas for resting and tables for placing belongings. The sofas and tables are custom-made to fit the dimensions of the hull deck. Different sizes of sofas and tables will be designed according to different specifications of subsequent passenger catamarans. Storage space can be provided inside the sofas to store essential supplies and other items. One sofa contains a small refrigerator, with enough space for outings. Additionally, the interior space of the sofas can serve as a spare battery compartment. Furthermore, a sunshade can be installed on the platform, with solar panels also mounted on it. This provides shade from strong sunlight and power to the hull. Batteries and power outlets, including USB ports, can be installed under the sofas to charge mobile phones, computers, cameras, and other devices.

[0039] The catamaran provided in this embodiment can be detachably connected to watercraft such as motorboats via its catamaran extension 2, thereby expanding the carrying capacity of existing watercraft such as motorboats at a low cost. Meanwhile, the facilities on the platform 12 provide for rest and entertainment, enhancing the user experience.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figures 4-5As shown, this embodiment is largely the same as Embodiment 1, with the main difference being that in this embodiment, the propulsion module 3 is located within the propulsion module 3 compartment, while the propeller is externally mounted on the floating hull 11. When the catamaran body 1 is moving straight, to turn it, one of the propulsion modules 3 is adjusted to reduce or increase its power, and the catamaran body 1 turns according to the power difference between the two propulsion modules 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, the propulsion module 3 is embedded within the propulsion module 3 compartment below the deck. The power module is detachably connected to the catamaran and is generally not disassembled; it is only disassembled for maintenance. The catamaran of this application allows for detachable connection to watercraft such as motorboats via its catamaran extension 2, thereby expanding the carrying capacity of existing motorboats at a lower cost. Simultaneously, the facilities on the platform 12 provide for rest and entertainment, enhancing the user experience.

[0042] Example 3

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
