It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.
[0031] The present invention provides Figure 1-11The illustrated embodiment shows an impact-resistant pod propulsion device for navigation in ice areas, comprising a cabin 10, a propulsion assembly 20, a control assembly 30, a first shock-absorbing assembly 40 and a second shock-absorbing assembly 50; the cabin 10 is connected to the hull, and the propulsion assembly 20 is partially arranged inside the cabin 10 for providing a propulsion force; the control assembly 30 is arranged inside the cabin 10 for sending a control command; the first shock-absorbing assembly 40 is arranged at the front end of the cabin 10 for alleviating the impact force in the navigation direction; the second shock-absorbing assembly 50 is arranged inside the cabin 10 for alleviating the impact force on the side wall of the cabin 10.
[0032] The hull 10 is an elliptical structure, and the side walls of the hull 10 adopt a streamlined structure to reduce the resistance to navigation. A connecting portion 11 is provided at the upper end of the hull 10, and the upper end of the connecting portion 11 is connected to the steering device inside the hull, so as to facilitate the control of the steering of the propulsion device.
[0033] The propulsion assembly 20 includes a motor 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a propeller 23. The motor 21 is arranged inside the cabin 10. The rotating shaft 22 is connected to the output end of the motor 21. The end of the rotating shaft 22 away from the motor 21 passes through the cabin 10, and the propeller 23 is sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 22 passing through the motor 21.
[0034] In order to fix and protect the motor 21, a housing 24 is provided outside the motor 21, a mounting seat 25 is provided below the housing 24, and the bottom end of the mounting seat 25 is provided at the bottom of the cabin 10. At the same time, a control component 30 is also provided inside the housing 24, and the control component 30 is used to receive external control instructions, and then send the control instructions to the motor 21. The control component 30 is electrically connected to the motor 21, and the operation of the motor 21 is adjusted by the control component 30 to realize the driving of the cabin 10. The control component 30 adopts a conventional control component 30, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0035] In order to protect the working stability of the motor 21 and the control system inside the cabin 10 and prevent the pod propulsion device from being hit by ice during operation and causing large vibrations to damage the motor 21 and the control system, a first shock absorbing assembly 40 and a second shock absorbing assembly 50 are arranged inside the cabin 10.
[0036] The second shock absorbing assembly 50 includes a plurality of hinges 51, two first shock absorbing pads 52, and two rebound members 53. The two first shock absorbing pads 52 are arranged on both sides of the shell 24, and the two rebound members 53 are arranged between the two first shock absorbing pads 52 for driving the two first shock absorbing pads 52 to move in the horizontal direction. The plurality of hinges 51 are connected to the two first shock absorbing pads 52 for driving the two first shock absorbing pads 52 to move closer to or away from each other.
[0037] One end of each hinge 51 is hinged to the first shock absorbing assembly 40, and the other end of each hinge 51 is hinged to the side walls of the two first shock absorbing pads 52 that are close to each other. The two first shock absorbing pads 52 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cabin 10, and multiple hinges 51 are respectively connected to the surrounding side walls of the first shock absorbing pads 52, and the connection between each hinge 51 and the two first shock absorbing pads 52 is symmetrical to each other.
[0038] Each hinge 51 includes a first hinge rod 511, a second hinge rod 512 and a third hinge rod 513. The first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 are symmetrically arranged. One end of the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 are respectively hinged to the first shock-absorbing pad 52 at mutually symmetrical positions. The other ends of the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 are both hinged to the third hinge rod 513. The third hinge rod 513 is hinged to the first shock-absorbing assembly 40. The first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 form a V-shaped structure. The relative movement of the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 is achieved by the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 moving closer to or farther from each other. The symmetrical connection mode of the hinge 51 and the V-shaped structure of a single hinge 51 can ensure that the hinge 51 is more stable when driving the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 to move. At the same time, the motor 21 and the control system are arranged between the two first shock-absorbing pads 52, so as to reduce the damage to the motor 21 and the control system caused by the transmission of vibration.
[0039] In order to alleviate the external impact force, two resilient members 53 are arranged between the two first shock-absorbing pads 52. The two resilient members 53 are arranged on both sides of the motor 21. The resilient members 53 are slidably connected to the motor 21. The two resilient members 53 are both connected to the two first shock-absorbing pads 52. The resilient members 53 can drive the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 to move synchronously in the axial direction of the resilient members 53. In order to better protect the motor 21 from the impact force, two support frames 26 are symmetrically arranged at the top and bottom ends of the housing 24. The two support frames 26 are each provided with a slide rail 27 at one end that is away from each other. The direction of the slide rail 27 points to the two first shock-absorbing pads 52. The resilient member 53 is slidably arranged in the slide rail 27. The support frame 26 provides support force to the resilient member 53 on the one hand, and the slide rail 27 provides guidance to the moving direction of the resilient member 53 on the other hand, so as to ensure that the resilient member 53 maintains stability in the moving direction.
[0040] The resilient member 53 includes an air cavity 531, which is slidably disposed in the slide rail 27. The air cavity 531 is filled with gas. The air cavity 531 is slidably disposed with piston members at both ends thereof facing the two first shock-absorbing pads 52. The ends of the piston members that are away from each other are respectively connected to the two first shock-absorbing pads 52. Under the action of the gas, the two piston members press the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 against the second shock-absorbing pad 60. The piston member includes a connecting rod 532 and a piston column 533. One end of the connecting rod 532 is connected to the first shock-absorbing pad 52, and the other end of the connecting rod 532 is connected to the piston column 533. The piston column 533 is slidably disposed in the air cavity 531. In the initial state, the piston column 533 is located at the edge positions on both sides of the air cavity 531.
[0041] In order to better ensure the pressure balance in the air cavity 531, a balance cavity 12 is provided in the connection part 11 above the cabin 10, and the balance cavity is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. Each air inlet is connected to the two air cavities 531 through two first pipes 13, and each air outlet is connected to the two air cavities 531 through two second pipes 14. A one-way valve 15 is provided on the first pipe 13 and the second pipe 14. Each air cavity 531 forms a circulation loop with the balance cavity 12, and the pressure value in a circulation loop is a constant value. An electric compression rod 16 is provided at the top of the balance cavity 12, and the electric compression rod 16 is electrically connected to the control component 30. A pressure sensor 17 is provided on the lower end side wall of the balance cavity 12, and the pressure change is detected by the pressure sensor 17. The state of the pressure in the air cavity 531 can be judged by the pressure value range detected by the pressure sensor 17, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the rebound member 53. At the same time, the electric compression rod 16 can be adjusted according to the actual situation to control the pressure value in the balance cavity 12.
[0042] At the same time, a second shock-absorbing pad 60 is provided on the inner wall of the cabin 10, the first shock-absorbing pad 52 abuts against the second shock-absorbing pad 60, and the second shock-absorbing pad 60 is attached to the inner wall of the cabin 10. The first shock-absorbing pad 52 is an arc-shaped structure, and the arc curvature of the first shock-absorbing pad 52 is the same as the arc curvature of the side wall of the cabin 10. The first shock-absorbing pad 52 and the second shock-absorbing pad 60 both use a frame, and the frame is made of an elastic material, such as a polypropylene resin composition, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Rubber pads are filled inside and outside the frame, and the frame can ensure that the first shock-absorbing pad 52 and the second shock-absorbing pad 60 have a certain structural strength, will not be easily deformed, and also have a certain elasticity.
[0043] When the side wall of the cabin 10 is subjected to impact force, the movement process of the second shock absorbing assembly 50 is as follows: When the impact force is small and is located around the first shock absorbing pad 52, the impact force will be attenuated in turn through the second shock absorbing pad 60 and the first shock absorbing pad 52, and then the impact force will drive the first shock absorbing pad 52 to separate from the second shock absorbing pad 60. At this time, the first shock absorbing pad 52 on the impacted side will move to the other side. When the first shock absorbing pad 52 moves, it will drive the nearby first hinge rod 511 or second hinge rod 512. Through the mutual movement between the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512, the third hinge rod 513 is pushed to drive the secondary buffer assembly 43 to move, and the unrelieved impact force is transmitted to the first shock absorbing assembly 40, and the impact force is eliminated by the first shock absorbing assembly 40. When the vibration impact is eliminated, the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512 will squeeze the first shock absorbing pad 52 against the second shock absorbing pad 60 again under the action of the first shock absorbing assembly 40.
[0044] When the impact force is small and is located in the middle of the first shock-absorbing pad 52, the impact force at this time will also be attenuated in turn through the second shock-absorbing pad 60 and the first shock-absorbing pad 52, and then the impact force will drive the first shock-absorbing pad 52 here to separate from the second shock-absorbing pad 60. At this time, the first shock-absorbing pad 52 on the impacted side will move to the other side. When moving, the first shock-absorbing pad 52 will drive the nearby connecting rod 532 to move toward the side close to the air cavity 531. At this time, the first shock-absorbing pad 52 will drive the rebound member 53 to move as a whole toward the first shock-absorbing pad 52 on the other side, so that the first shock-absorbing pad 52 on the other side is pressed tightly against the second shock-absorbing pad 60, and then the connecting rod 532 on the side that is first subjected to force will compress the piston column 533 to squeeze the gas inside the air cavity 531, and eliminate the impact force by squeezing the gas. When the impact force is eliminated, the piston column 533 will move in the opposite direction under the action of the gas, and the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 will be pressed against the second shock-absorbing pad 60 again.
[0045] When the impact force is large, the impact force will drive the entire first shock absorbing pad 52 to separate from the adjacent second shock absorbing pad 60, and then the first hinged rod 511 or the second hinged rod 512 around the first shock absorbing pad 52 will transfer the impact force to the first shock absorbing assembly 40 again, and the rebound member 53 will also perform compression shock absorption.
[0046] The pod will be subjected to impact force from the forward direction, therefore, a first shock absorbing assembly 40 is also provided at the front position of the pod, the first shock absorbing assembly 40 includes an impact plate 7251, a primary buffer assembly 42 and a secondary buffer assembly 43, the impact plate 7251 is provided at the front end of the pod body 10, the primary buffer assembly 42 is slidably provided inside the pod body 10, one end of the primary buffer assembly 42 is connected to the impact plate 7251, the other end of the primary buffer assembly 42 is connected to the secondary buffer assembly 43, and the secondary buffer assembly 43 is connected to the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512.
[0047] The secondary buffer assembly 43 includes a front-stage buffer and a rear-stage buffer. The front-stage buffer is arranged at the front end of the movement direction of the cabin body 10. The front-stage buffer includes a buffer cavity 431, a forward buffer 432, and a reverse buffer 433. A rolling member 434 is arranged in the buffer cavity 431. The forward buffer 432 and the reverse buffer 433 are respectively slidably arranged on both sides of the buffer cavity 431. The forward buffer 432 and the reverse buffer 433 are both rotatably connected to the rolling member 434. The forward buffer 432 and the reverse buffer 433 have opposite movement directions. The end of the forward buffer 432 away from the buffer cavity 431 is connected to the primary buffer assembly 42, and the end of the reverse buffer 433 away from the buffer cavity 431 is connected to the third hinge rod 513.
[0048] Connecting ports are provided at both ends of the buffer cavity 431 close to the positive buffer member 432 and the reverse buffer member 433. The positive buffer member 432 includes a hollow rectangular cavity 4321 with an open side wall. A lower tooth plate 4322 is provided on the inner lower surface of the rectangular cavity 4321. A connecting groove 4323 is provided at one end of the rectangular cavity 4321 close to the reverse buffer member 433. The reverse buffer member 433 includes an L-shaped connecting plate 4331. The long side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 is horizontally arranged. The long side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 is slidably inserted in the connecting groove 4323. A shock absorbing spring 4332 is provided below the L-shaped connecting plate 4331. One end of the shock-absorbing spring 4332 is connected to the side wall of the rectangular cavity 4321 close to the L-shaped connecting plate 4331, and the other end of the shock-absorbing spring 4332 is connected to the short side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331. An upper tooth plate 4333 is provided on the long side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 close to the shock-absorbing spring 4332. The rolling member 434 adopts a rolling gear, and the lower tooth plate 4322 and the upper tooth plate 4333 are both engaged with the rolling gear. The short side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 is connected to the third hinge rod 513 away from the shock-absorbing spring 4332, and the side wall of the rectangular cavity 4321 away from the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 is connected to the primary buffer assembly 42.
[0049] The front-stage buffer will be subjected to impact forces in two directions. The following describes the working process of the front-stage buffer from two directions: When the front-stage buffer is driven by the third hinged rod 513, the third hinged rod 513 will drive the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 to move closer, and then the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 will compress the shock-absorbing spring 4332. At the same time, the upper tooth plate 4333 on the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 will drive the rolling gear to rotate. When the rolling gear rotates, it will synchronously drive the lower tooth plate 4322 in the rectangular cavity 4321 to move in the opposite direction. The movement of the rectangular cavity 4321 will pull the first-stage buffer assembly 42, and the elastic force of the shock-absorbing spring 4332 will be used to offset the impact force. The impact force that has not been eliminated will be transmitted to the first-stage buffer assembly 42 for further buffering.
[0050] When the front-stage buffer is subjected to the impact force from the primary buffer assembly 42, the primary buffer assembly 42 will apply pressure driving force to the rectangular cavity 4321, and then the rectangular cavity 4321 will move toward the direction close to the buffer cavity 431. When the rectangular cavity 4321 moves, the lower tooth plate 4322 inside the rectangular cavity 4321 will drive the rolling gear to rotate. When the rolling gear rotates, it will synchronously drive the upper tooth plate 4333 to move in the opposite direction of the lower tooth plate 4322. When the lower tooth plate 4322 moves, it will synchronously drive the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 to move toward the direction close to the buffer cavity 431. At this time, the short side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 will compress the shock absorbing spring 4332, and the elastic force of the shock absorbing spring 4332 will be used to offset the impact force. When the shock absorbing spring 4332 is compressed to the upper limit of the stroke, the long side of the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 will abut against the inner side wall of the rectangular cavity 4321. By utilizing the stroke of the shock-absorbing spring 4332 and the structural connection relationship between the L-shaped connecting plate 4331 and the rectangular cavity 4321, a large impact force can be effectively blocked, while effectively ensuring the service life of the secondary buffer assembly 43.
[0051] The rear-stage buffer is arranged at the rear end of the movement direction of the cabin body 10, and the rear-stage buffer includes a buffer rod 435, a buffer seat 436 and a buffer spring 437. The buffer seat 436 is arranged on the side wall of the cabin body 10, and a buffer groove 438 is opened on the buffer seat 436. The buffer rod 435 is slidably arranged in the buffer groove 438. The buffer spring 437 is arranged between the buffer groove 438 and the buffer rod 435. The buffer rod 435 is connected to the first hinge rod 511 and the second hinge rod 512.
[0052] The working process of the rear buffer is: When the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 produce horizontal lateral movement due to the impact force of the side wall, the first hinge 51 and the second hinge 51 connecting the two first shock-absorbing pads 52 will move in a direction approaching each other. When the two first hinges 51 approach each other, they will drive the buffer rod 435 connected thereto to move in a direction away from the first shock-absorbing pads 52, thereby compressing the buffer spring 437 and using the elastic force of the buffer spring 437 to eliminate the impact force.
[0053] In order to reduce the buffering pressure of the secondary buffer assembly 43, a primary buffer assembly 42 is also arranged in front of the secondary buffer assembly 43. The primary buffer assembly 42 includes a guide rod 421, a piston disc 422 and a compression spring 423. An impact area 70 is arranged at the front end of the cabin 10. The impact area 70 is a frame-shaped structure with an open front end. A partition plate 71 is arranged between the impact area 70 and the cabin 10. One end of the guide rod 421 is connected to the rectangular cavity 4321, and the other end of the guide rod 421 is connected to the piston disc 422. The piston disc 423 is provided at the front end of the cabin 10. 22 is slidingly arranged in the impact area 70, an impact disk 7251 is arranged at the front end of the impact area 70, a compression spring 423 is arranged between the impact disk 7251 and the piston disk 422, a telescopic rod 424 is arranged inside the compression spring 423, a bellows 425 is arranged on the outside of the compression spring 423, a sealing layer 426 is arranged on the side wall of the impact disk 7251 and the impact area 70, the sealing layer 426 is made of waterproof material, the impact disk 7251 is a protruding arc structure, and a rib 73 is also arranged on the outer surface of the impact disk.
[0054] In the forward direction of navigation, the vehicle will encounter the impact or collision of ice or glaciers. At this time, the ice will first impact the impact plate 7251, and then the impact plate 7251 will shrink away from the direction of navigation, and then squeeze the compression spring 423 to initially relieve the impact force. Then the compression spring 423 will drive the piston plate 422 to continue to move toward the direction close to the partition 71, and the guide rod 421 connected to the piston plate 422 will move synchronously and compress the rectangular cavity 4321, thereby transmitting the impact force that the first-level buffer assembly 42 has not eliminated to the second-level buffer assembly 43. In order to protect the compression spring 423, a boss is provided inside the impact zone near the secondary buffer assembly 43, and the boss is located between the compression spring 423 and the piston disc 422. When the impact disc 7251 receives the impact force, it will squeeze the compression spring 423, and then the side of the impact disc 7251 will abut against the side wall of the impact zone, limiting the compression disc 7251 from continuing to squeeze the compression spring 423. When the ice cube separates from the impact disc 7251, at this time, under the action of the rebound force of the compression spring 423, the piston disc 422 will move toward the direction close to the compression disc 7251, and the boss is used to limit the displacement of the piston disc 422, thereby effectively protecting the compression spring 423.
[0055] In order to prevent the pod from being impacted by ice cubes above and below, an ice-breaking assembly 80 is further arranged above and below the pod 10. The ice-breaking assembly 80 includes an ice-breaking rack 81, an anti-collision beam 82 and an anti-collision strip 83. The ice-breaking rack 81 is arranged below the impact area 70. The ice-breaking rack 81 includes a plurality of ice-breaking pieces arranged at intervals. The anti-collision beam 82 is arranged above the pod 10 and at the front end of the connection between the pod 10 and the hull 10. The anti-collision strip 83 is arranged on the side wall of the pod 10. When ice cubes hit the pod above or below, the ice-breaking rack 81 can cut the ice cubes into several small pieces of broken ice cubes by using the high-speed running speed, thereby reducing the damage to the pod. The anti-collision beam 82 can prevent the ice cubes from damaging the connection between the pod and the hull 10. At the same time, the ice cubes hitting the impact plate 7251 will slide around because the outer surface of the impact plate 7251 is an arc-shaped structure protruding outward, and will not gather on the impact plate 7251 for a long time. Finally, the anti-collision strip 83 on the side wall of the cabin 10 also provides a layer of protection for the side wall of the cabin 10 . At the same time, the anti-collision strip 83 also serves as a diversion device to isolate the ice cubes from the cabin 10 .
[0056] After the ice cube impacts the impact plate 7251, when the impact plate 7251 is compressed and moved to abut against the side wall of the impact area, the ice cube will come into contact with the ice breaking rack 81 and the anti-collision beam 82, thereby cutting and breaking the ice cube.

All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
