Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the superstructure of a ship, and particularly to an energy-saving superstructure wind protection device. Background Art

[0002] Most of the exploitable wind energy resources on the earth are on the ocean surface. Ships sailing in the open ocean shuttle on the ocean surface and can recover and utilize this wind energy. In addition, when a ship is sailing in the open ocean, the sea breeze poses a certain threat to the safety of deck operators or tourists. It is necessary to take wind protection measures for the deck activity area to ensure safety.

[0003] In the prior art, for the protection of the deck activity area, the method of increasing the height of the ship's side or adding baffles or enclosures is adopted to play a protective role. It can indeed provide effective protection, but at the same time, some costs need to be paid. For example, the direction of the baffle or enclosure is not necessarily the same as the direction of the ship's navigation. In a state of calm wind and no waves, it will cause additional resistance. In addition, for the side wind acting on the hull, due to the current technical method being rigidly connected to the hull, the force on each part of the structure is unified, which may induce the hull to roll. Regarding energy recovery, in the current technology, the superstructure of the hull generally does not have the function of energy recovery, and the wind energy during ship navigation belongs to a continuous clean energy source and can be utilized. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, this patent proposes a set of energy-saving superstructure wind protection devices, which are realized by reasonably arranging single tuples around the deck area to be protected. From the perspective of safety protection, the structure of this patent takes into account the resistance along the ship length direction that it may cause during design, and also takes into account its lateral windward ability. Therefore, the baffle is designed in the form of a round cake with an external guide circle and an internal depression. This form has good wind resistance performance and reduces the wind resistance of the ship against the wind compared with the prior art. In addition, the structure is elastically connected to the hull. At the same time, the multiple tuples can be flexibly connected or separated from each other. This form can discretize the force exerted by the lateral incoming wind on the baffle, so that the concentrated force acts on the hull over a period of time, thereby reducing the rolling amplitude caused. At the same time, the structure of this patent includes a rectifying mechanism, a connecting rod mechanism, etc., which can convert wind energy into kinetic energy through the movement of the wind-driven structure and store it in the form of electric energy, etc. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0033] In the following description, numerous specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, some well-known technical features are not described in order to avoid obscuring the present invention.

[0034] To thoroughly understand the present invention, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to explain the technical solution of the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. However, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may have other embodiments.

[0035] Current deck wind protection devices usually install simple flat baffles or increase the height of the ship's side to play a protective role. This form is not only rigid but also wastes a large amount of available wind energy. The purpose of the present invention is to propose a superstructure wind protection device, which is installed around the deck of a ship, especially the deck in the area where people are active. After installing this device, it can effectively resist the intensity of the wind in the active deck area and effectively protect the entertainment or operating personnel on the deck. At the same time, this device has the function of absorbing and converting wind energy into kinetic energy, and this kinetic energy can be used for power generation or driving the movement of certain structures. At the same time, the working state of this device also has a certain ornamental value.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an energy-saving superstructure wind protection device. The energy-saving superstructure wind protection device is fixedly installed on the port and starboard sides of the hull deck area. The energy-saving superstructure wind protection device is composed of a base 100 and a power generation mechanism 200 swingably installed on the base 100.

[0037] As Figure 5 shown, the L-shaped base 100 is composed of a bottom plate 110 and a vertical baffle 120 formed integrally. The bottom plate 110 is welded to the deck, and the vertical baffle 120 is connected to the side of the bottom plate 110 close to the outside of the ship. Among them, the vertical baffle 120 is a wedge-shaped plate with a thickness gradually increasing from top to bottom. The connection part of the bottom of the vertical baffle 120 and the bottom plate 110 is thicker to improve the connection strength and prevent the vertical baffle 120 from breaking. The inclined surface 121 of the wedge-shaped plate is close to the outside of the ship, and can direct the sea breeze to directly blow on the disc-shaped wind baffle 220.

[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the power generation mechanism 200 includes a wind deflector base column 210, a disc-shaped wind deflector 220, an elastic reset mechanism 230, a transmission connecting rod 240, and a mechanical kinetic energy power generation module 250. The bottom of the wind deflector base column 210 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 110. The disc-shaped wind deflector 220 is fixedly installed at the top of the wind deflector base column 210 and the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 is higher than the vertical baffle 120. The mechanical kinetic energy power generation module 250 is connected to the wind deflector base column 210 through the transmission connecting rod 240. The elastic reset mechanism 230 is connected between the wind deflector base column 210 and the vertical baffle 120.

[0039] The whole set of the device is a module. When it is applied to a real ship, only this module needs to be fixed on the port and starboard sides of the deck area to be protected. Among them, the mechanical kinetic energy power generation module 250 is on the inner side of the ship's hull, and the vertical baffle 120 is on the outer side of the ship's hull. After installation, when there is a side wind blowing towards the deck, the vertical baffle 120 can effectively block the oncoming side wind. At the same time, under the action of the outer inclined surface 121 of the vertical baffle 120, the wind is guided to blow towards the disc-shaped wind deflector 220, driving the power generation mechanism 200 to make an irregular pendulum movement around the bottom rotating shaft. This movement will drive the mechanical kinetic energy power generation module 250 to generate electricity under the action of the transmission connecting rod 240.

[0040] In the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the front or the back of the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 faces the outside of the hull to face the wind. The disc-shaped wind deflector 220 adopts an aerodynamic design. The specific form is that the front and back of the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 bulge outwards in the thickness direction from the outside and then sink towards the center of the circle, and circular shallow grooves 221 are formed in the middle of the front and back of the disc-shaped wind deflector 220, reducing the wind resistance of the ship against the wind.

[0041] Among them, the mechanical kinetic energy power generation module 250 includes a mechanical motion component and a power generation module. The transmission connecting rod 240 drives the mechanical motion component to start moving, and the power generation module converts the mechanical kinetic energy of the mechanical motion component into electrical energy and transports it to the energy storage device for electrical energy storage. Among them, the motion forms of the mechanical motion component include, but are not limited to, linear piston motion, vibration, swing, rotation and other forms.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the wind deflector base column 210 and the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 are integrally formed, and the connection between the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 and the wind deflector base column 210 has a smooth transition. In addition, the edge of the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 is a rounded corner, and the edge of the wind deflector base column 210 is a rounded corner. The main body adopts a smooth design, which has better aerodynamics, enabling the side wind to easily drive the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 to swing and thus realizing power generation.

[0043] The elastic reset mechanism 230 includes at least one spring, which restricts the swing amplitude of the wind deflector base column 210 and the disc-shaped wind deflector 220 through the spring and drives them to return to the upright position.

[0044] A pair of rotating shaft bases 111 are provided on the bottom plate 110. Coaxial rolling bearings are provided on the two rotating shaft bases 111. Rotating shafts 211 inserted into the rolling bearings are provided on both sides of the bottom of the windshield base column 210. There are rotating shafts on both sides of the windshield base column 210, making the windshield base column 210 more stable during the swinging process and not easily disengaged.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and the equipment and structures not described in detail therein should be understood to be implemented in a common manner in the art; any person skilled in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above, or modify it into an equivalent embodiment with equivalent changes, which does not affect the essence of the present invention. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
