[0039] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following examples.

[0040] This embodiment provides a ship, which includes an upper deck 610 , a lower deck 620 and a multifunctional swimming pool device 100 .

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the multifunctional swimming pool device 100 includes a base plate 210, a lifting platform 300 and a lifting device 400. An opening 230 is opened on the base plate 210. The lifting platform 300 is arranged on the opening 230. The lifting platform 300 can cover the opening 230. The lifting device 400 is connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 300. The lifting device 400 can change its own height in the vertical direction. The lifting platform 300 is used to park a helicopter.

[0042] During normal use, the lifting platform 300 covers the opening 230 of the multifunctional swimming pool device 100, allowing the multifunctional swimming pool device 100 to function as a swimming pool. In an emergency, the water in the multifunctional swimming pool device 100 can be drained, and the lifting device 400 can be vertically raised to raise the lifting platform 300 connected to the lifting device 400 to the required height for helicopter access. This solves the problem of limited space on a ship and makes it difficult to accommodate a helicopter lifting platform 300. It also avoids the space constraints of other functional areas caused by the additional installation of the helicopter lifting platform 300, optimizes the internal space layout of the ship, improves space utilization, and enhances the passenger experience.

[0043] In the vertical direction, the projection of the opening 230 on the lifting platform 300 is located on the lifting platform 300, so that the lifting platform 300 can completely cover the opening 230, making the contact area between the lifting platform 300 and the bottom plate 210 larger, and the lifting platform 300 can be more stable when lowered onto the bottom plate 210, and the gap at the connection between the lifting platform 300 and the bottom plate 210 can be reduced, so that the sealing is better.

[0044] In this embodiment, the size of the lifting platform 300 is slightly larger than the size of the opening 230 of the bottom plate 210. In other embodiments, the size of the lifting platform 300 may be equal to the size of the opening 230 of the bottom plate 210. The lifting platform 300 may be square, circular, or any other shape deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art.

[0045] The multifunctional swimming pool device 100 also includes a watertight device 500, which is arranged at the edge of the lifting platform 300, thereby improving the watertightness of the connection between the bottom plate 210 and the lifting platform 300, preventing water inside the multifunctional swimming pool device 100 from leaking from the connection between the bottom plate 210 and the lifting platform 300, and ensuring the safety of the multifunctional swimming pool device 100.

[0046] The watertight device 500 is arranged around the periphery of the lifting platform 300, so that the watertight device 500 can better seal the connection between the bottom plate 210 and the lifting platform 300. The lifting platform 300 has a good sealing effect on all sides, further improving the watertightness.

[0047] In this embodiment, by setting the size of the lifting platform 300 to be smaller than the size of the bottom plate 210, there is enough space on the bottom plate 210 to set the watertight device 500. In other embodiments, other sizes of the lifting platform 300 deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art may also be selected.

[0048] In this embodiment, the watertight device 500 is a watertight gasket. By placing the watertight gasket at the edge of the lifting platform 300, when the lifting platform 300 is lowered onto the bottom plate 210, the watertight gasket can seal the connection between the bottom plate 210 and the lifting platform 300, thereby preventing water inside the multi-functional swimming pool device 100 from leaking from the connection between the bottom plate 210 and the lifting platform 300. In other embodiments, other specific structures of the watertight device 500 deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art may also be selected.

[0049] In this embodiment, the watertight gasket is made of rubber or silicone. Rubber or silicone is elastic. When the lifting platform 300 is lowered onto the base plate 210, the rubber or silicone is squeezed and slightly deformed, thereby better sealing the connection between the base plate 210 and the lifting platform 300. In other embodiments, other watertight gasket materials deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art may also be selected.

[0050] The watertight gasket can be fixed to the lower surface of the lifting platform 300 or to the upper surface of the base plate 210, so that when the lifting platform 300 is lowered onto the base plate 210, the watertight gasket can be better compressed, further improving the watertightness.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lifting device 400 is a jacking vehicle, a hydraulic jacking device, or an electric jacking device, so that the lifting device 400 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction, thereby changing the height of the lifting platform 300. In other embodiments, other structures of the lifting device 400 deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art may also be selected.

[0052] The multifunctional swimming pool 100 is located between the upper deck 610 and the lower deck 620. This allows the addition of the multifunctional swimming pool 100 to the existing structure of the vessel, making the overall layout more compact and improving space utilization. The multifunctional swimming pool 100 also includes sidewalls 220, the upper ends of which are connected to the upper deck 610, making it easier to use the multifunctional swimming pool 100. The lifting device 400 is located on the lower deck 620, making it easier to maintain.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the lifting device 400 is raised, the lifting platform 300 is flush with the upper deck 610, making it easier for helicopters to land on the lifting platform 300 and for helicopter passengers to move between the lifting platform 300 and the upper deck 610, providing greater convenience. When the lifting platform 300 is raised to the desired height, a step can be provided between the lifting platform 300 and the upper deck 610 for passengers to pass through. In other embodiments, the lifting height of the lifting device 400 can be selected to any other suitable height as deemed appropriate by those skilled in the art.
