Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of operating ships, and in particular to a deck protection structure and a protection method for a dumping type sail. Background Art

[0002] With the globalization of world trade and the booming shipping industry, the problems caused by greenhouse gases from ships have become more obvious. The International Maritime Organization has increasingly stringent requirements for greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Green ships, new energy, and reduced carbon emissions, these new green technologies have become the mainstream of the shipping industry. Sails use the Magnus effect to convert wind energy into kinetic energy for the ship's forward movement, which can reduce the main engine's fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions. With the development of green technology, safety has also become a top priority.

[0003] Traditional sails are fixed upright. Considering the requirements of port bridges, sight lines, etc., the height of the sails will be limited. The protection of the deck and hull structure becomes the key. Traditional designs do not consider the protection of the deck. This problem needs to be taken seriously and solved. It cannot meet daily use needs. Therefore, it is urgent to design a deck protection structure for a tilting sail to solve the above problem. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a deck protection structure for a tilting sail to solve the problem mentioned in the above background technology that traditional sails are fixed upright. Considering the requirements of port bridges, sight lines, etc., the height of the sail will be limited. The protection of the deck hull structure becomes the key. Traditional designs do not consider the protection of the deck. This problem needs to be paid attention to and solved, and it cannot meet the daily use needs.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a deck protection structure of a dumping sail, comprising a reinforcement member, one end surface of the reinforcement member is fixedly connected to a fixed mast, the top end of the fixed mast is provided with a movable shaft, the top end of the fixed mast is movably connected to a dumping mast via the movable shaft, and the dumping mast is provided with a sail body inside; A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the other end surface of the reinforcement piece, and the surface of the clamping plate is provided with an airbag body.

[0006] Preferably, buffer side rings are evenly arranged on the side surfaces of the airbag body, and chain buckles are arranged inside the buffer side rings.

[0007] Preferably, two ends of the airbag body are provided with supporting balls, and a swivel is provided at the center of one end of the supporting ball.

[0008] Preferably, chains are provided at both ends and four corners of the side surfaces of the airbag body, and a shackle is provided at one end of the chain.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the surface of the clamping plate are provided with hanging rings.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the movable shaft is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped socket, and the top end of the reinforcement piece is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped seat.

[0011] Preferably, the reinforcement member and the movable shaft are adapted to each other.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The deck protection structure of the dumping type sail can efficiently and safely perform the sail dumping operation through the arranged cleats, airbag bodies, buffer side rings, chain buckles, balls, swivels, chains, shackles and rings. In actual use, when the dumping pole carries the sail body to dump, it can directly guide the airbag body on the surface of the cleat. At this time, the airbag body performs the contraction, tightening and limiting operation of the chain, shackle and ring on the surface of the cleat as a whole through the side buffer side rings and chain buckles and the balls and swivels at both ends, so as to quickly support and protect the dumping cleat and airbag body. The dumping sail will still keep the rotating state after dumping, so the end of the sail cannot be designed Any contact support, from a mechanical point of view, belongs to the cantilever beam type of support, and the bending moment generated will be very large. Once the cylinder is damaged, it will hit the cleat and cause irreversible damage to the ship. The inflatable airbag body is added to the motor position after the sail is dumped, and it is fixed to the hull deck with a chain. Once the dumped boom falls and hits the cleat, one end of the dumped boom is supported by its own movable axis, and the other end is supported by the designed airbag body. The design of the airbag must ensure that it can withstand the load of the dumped boom and absorb the impact force, thereby minimizing the damage to the cleat and the dumped boom, protecting the safety of the ship, and reflecting the practicality of the equipment design.

[0013] The deck protection structure of the dumping sail further improves the overall use effect of the equipment through the reinforcement, fixed mast, movable shaft, dumping mast, sail body, arc connector and arc connector. In daily use, when the fixed mast and the dumping mast are tilted and adjusted through the movable shaft, the arc connector and arc connector can be used to perform stable limited docking operations. From the perspective of safety, we have designed an airbag body protection device on the surface of the plywood for the dumping area of ​​the sail, which improves the safety performance of the ship. The dumping hydraulic sail will perfectly solve the problem of limited sail height. This form of sail solves the requirements of sailing over bridges and special ports, further reduces the limiting factors for the height of the sail, improves the energy efficiency of the ship, and is accompanied by the safety of the ship, reflecting the comprehensiveness of the equipment design.

Implementation

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1-4 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: A deck protection structure for a tipping sail comprises a reinforcement member 1, one end surface of the reinforcement member 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed mast 2, a movable shaft 3 is arranged at the top of the fixed mast 2, a tipping mast 4 is movably connected to the top of the fixed mast 2 via the movable shaft 3, a sail body 5 is arranged inside the tipping mast 4, one end of the movable shaft 3 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped connecting sleeve 15, the top of the reinforcement member 1 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped connecting seat 16, the reinforcement member 1 and the movable shaft 3 are adapted to each other, and when the fixed mast 2 and the tipping mast 4 are tipped and adjusted via the movable shaft 3, a stable limited docking operation can be performed via the arc-shaped connecting sleeve 15 and the arc-shaped connecting seat 16 therebetween.

[0018] The splint 6 and the other end surface of the reinforcement member 1 are fixedly connected with the splint 6, the surface of the splint 6 is provided with an airbag body 7, the sides of the airbag body 7 are evenly provided with buffer side rings 8, the inside of the buffer side rings 8 is provided with chain buckles 9, both ends of the airbag body 7 are provided with supporting balls 10, the center of one end of the supporting ball 10 is provided with a swivel 11, chains 12 are provided at both ends and the four corners of the side of the airbag body 7, one end of the chain 12 is provided with a shackle 13, and both ends of the surface of the splint 6 are provided with lifting rings 14, which are fixed to the deck of the hull by the chain 12. Once the tilted mast 4 tilts and hits the splint 6, one end is supported by its own movable shaft 3 to support the tilted mast 4, and the other end is supported by the designed airbag body 7. The design of the airbag must ensure that it can withstand the load of the tilted mast 4 and absorb the impact force brought about, thereby minimizing the damage to the splint 6 and the tilted mast 4.

[0019] A deck protection method for a dumping sail comprises the following steps: S1. A cleat 6 is installed on the hull deck, an airbag body 7 is installed on the cleat 6, a buffer side ring 8 is provided on the side of the airbag body 7, a chain buckle 9 is provided inside the buffer side ring 8, balls 10 are installed at both ends of the airbag body 7, a swivel 11 is provided at the center of one end of the ball 10, chains 12 are provided at both ends and four corners of the side of the airbag body 7, a shackle 13 is provided at one end of the chain 12, and the airbag body 7 is fixed to the lifting ring 14 of the cleat 6 through the chain 12; S2. When the mast 4 is tilted with the sail 5, the airbag body 7 can be directly guided to the surface of the splint 6. At this time, the airbag body 7 performs the contraction, tightening and limiting operation of the chain 12, the shackle 13 and the lifting ring 14 on the splint surface through the side buffer side ring 8 and the chain buckle 9 and the two end balls 10 and the swivel 11, so as to quickly support and protect the tilted splint and the airbag body; S3. After being tilted, the sail will still keep rotating, so no contact support can be designed at the end of the sail. An inflatable airbag body is added to the position of the motor after the sail is tilted, and it is fixed to the hull deck with a chain. Once the tilted boom tilts and hits the cleat, one end of the tilted boom is supported by its own movable shaft, and the other end is supported by the designed airbag body. The airbag body bears the load of the tilted boom 4.

[0020] Working principle: when in use, first, when the tipping mast 4 is tipping with the sail 5, the airbag body 7 can be directly guided to the surface of the cleat 6. At this time, the airbag body 7 performs the contraction, tightening and limiting operation of the chain 12, shackle 13 and lifting ring 14 on the surface of the cleat 6 through the side buffer side ring 8 and the chain buckle 9 and the balls 10 and swivels 11 at both ends, and the tipping cleat 6 and the airbag body 7 are quickly supported and protected. The tipping sail will still remain in a rotating state after tipping, so no contact support can be designed for the end of the sail. From a mechanical point of view, the support form belongs to the cantilever beam type, and the bending moment generated will be very large. Once the oil cylinder is damaged, it will hit the cleat 6 and cause irreversible damage to the ship. The inflatable airbag body 7 is added to the motor position after the sail is tipped, and it is fixed to the hull deck by the chain 12. Once the tipping mast 4 is tipped and hits the cleat 6, one end is connected by its own movable shaft 3 to the tipping The inverted mast 4 is supported by the inverted mast 4, and the other end is supported by the designed airbag body 7. The design of the airbag must ensure that it can withstand the load of the tilted mast 4 and absorb the impact force brought about, thereby minimizing the damage to the splint 6 and the tilted mast 4 and protecting the safety of the ship. In daily use, when the fixed mast 2 and the tilted mast 4 are tilted and adjusted through the movable shaft 3, a stable limited docking operation can be performed through the arc-shaped socket 15 and the arc-shaped seat 16 therebetween. From the perspective of safety, we have designed an airbag body 7 protection device on the surface of the splint 6 for the tilting area of ​​the sail, which improves the safety performance of the ship, and the tilting hydraulic sail will perfectly solve the problem of the height limitation of the sail. This form of sail solves the requirements of sailing over bridges and special ports, and the limiting factors for the height requirement of the sail are further reduced, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the ship, accompanied by the safety of the ship. The above is the entire working principle of the present invention.
