Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, and in particular to a ship navigation aid device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, wind-assisted propulsion technology has gradually emerged. As a relatively advanced device, the Norsex rotary sail utilizes the Magnus effect to convert wind power into auxiliary ship navigation, achieving energy conservation to a certain extent. However, it still has some limitations. Existing ships rely on the main engine to drive the rotary sail in low wind speeds, resulting in high energy consumption. If the rotary sail is used directly to generate electricity, the efficiency is limited by wind speed. In low wind speed environments, the wind energy utilization efficiency of the rotary sail is relatively low.
[0003] Chinese patent application CN115027652A discloses a sail propulsion device and vessel based on a rotary sail. The device, used on a ship, includes: a support assembly mounted on the ship; a lifting and rotating assembly on top of the support assembly; and a rotary sail mounted on the lifting and rotating assembly. The rotary sail is lifted, lowered, and rotated by the lifting and rotating assembly. This propulsion device, through the lifting and rotating of a lifting rod, drives the rotary sail to lift, lower, and rotate, achieving wind-assisted navigation when wind direction and force are suitable, saving energy and promoting low-carbon environmental protection. When wind direction and force are unsuitable, the rotary sail can automatically extend and retract into the hull, saving hull and deck space and labor costs.
[0004] However, this technical solution still has some problems: although the solution achieves navigation assistance when the wind conditions are met by raising, lowering and rotating the rotary sail, the rotation of the rotary sail still consumes a lot of energy when the wind is weak, and it cannot replenish the ship's energy and reduce the ship's consumption through the rotation of the rotary sail. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this application is hereby filed.

The second toothed ring rotates with the rotating cylinder and causes the first toothed ring to rotate on the inner wall of the sleeve through the rotating gear. The moving block on the outer wall of the first toothed ring slides inside the groove on the outer wall of the sleeve.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation assist device described in this application, wherein: a tension spring is connected to the inner wall of the moving block, the other end of the tension spring is fixed to the inner wall of the slide groove for pulling the moving block, a damping rod is hinged to the outer wall of the moving block, and the end of the damping rod away from the moving block is hinged to the outer wall of the assisting component, a first connecting rod is also provided on the outer wall of the damping rod and the first connecting rod is hinged to the outer wall of the moving block, a connecting sleeve is sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting rod, a second connecting rod is fixed on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve and the second connecting rod is hinged to the outer wall of the assisting component.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation assist device described in this application, wherein: a first elastic element is sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting rod and the first elastic element is located on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve; when the first toothed ring drives the moving block to move inside the slide groove, the first elastic element located on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve pulls the second connecting rod; the second connecting rod cooperates with the damping rod to drive the assisting element to unfold on the outer wall of the sleeve.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation assist device described in this application, the assisting component includes a rotating shell, the inner wall of which is provided with a connecting post, the connecting post being connected to a first fixing ring and a second fixing ring fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve, the outer wall of the first fixing ring being provided with a first limiting block, the outer wall of the second fixing ring being provided with a second limiting block, and the end of the connecting post passing through the first limiting block and the second limiting block and fixing the rotating shell between the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation aid device described in this application, the outer wall of the rotating shell is provided with a fan blade and the end of the fan blade is provided with a half gear. The half gear is located at the end of the rotating shell and meshes with a first rotating gear provided at the end of the first fixed ring and a second rotating gear provided at the end of the second fixed ring.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation assist device described in this application, the outer wall of the rotating shell is provided with a fixing block and the end face of the fixing block is provided with a fixing protrusion, and the fixing protrusion is hinged to the end of the damping rod and the second connecting rod.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation assist device described in this application, the rotating shell rotates around the connecting column on the inner wall by pulling the fixed protrusion through the cooperation of the second connecting rod and the damping rod.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the ship navigation aid device described in this application, the inner wall of the cavity is provided with a fixed platform, the fixed platform is provided with a power component and the end of the power component is provided with a rotating shaft, the end of the rotating shaft extends to the outer wall of the cavity and is located on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, and the rotating cylinder rotates with the rotating shaft at the end of the cavity.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: In low wind speed environments, when the rotating drum is at a low speed, the assisting component can unfold on the outer wall of the sleeve under the action of the pusher. The fan blades on the assisting component capture wind energy through the inner arc surface, driving the rotating drum to rotate, reducing the energy consumption required for the rotating drum to rotate and driving the generator to generate electricity to power the ship's electrical system, reducing the load on the main engine, improving energy utilization efficiency, and reducing the ship's navigation energy consumption cost. At low wind speeds, the effective unfolding and operation of the assisting component makes full use of wind energy to assist the ship's navigation, reducing the energy consumption required by the rotating drum when the wind is insufficient, and improving the ship's navigation performance under low wind speed conditions. When the wind speed is high, the assisting component will close inward under the action of the wind force and re-fit against the outer wall of the sleeve, avoiding the direct force of the wind on the unfolding of the assisting component due to excessive wind speed, reducing the risk of the ship tilting due to uneven force, ensuring the ship's navigation safety in high wind speed environments, and reducing turbulence interference, avoiding power interference and mechanical wear.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0035] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of this application. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] This is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a ship navigation aid device.
[0038] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-3 It includes a power assembly 100, which includes a base 101, a chamber 102 disposed on the inner wall of the base 101, and a rotating drum 106 installed at the end of the chamber 102;
[0039] The power assist assembly 200 includes a sleeve 201 mounted on the outer wall of the rotating drum 106, a power assist component disposed on the outer wall of the sleeve 201, and a pusher component installed inside the sleeve 201. The pusher component is connected to the power assist component. The rotating drum 106 rotates to drive the pusher component to move inside the sleeve 201. When the pusher component moves, the power assist component is affected by the movement of the pusher component and expands outside the sleeve 201 to capture wind energy to drive the rotating drum 106 to rotate. When the rotating drum 106 rotates, it drives the generator located in the chamber 102 to generate electricity to provide power to the ship and supplement the equipment consumption on board, indirectly reducing the consumption of the main engine.
[0040] When the rotating drum 106 is at a low speed, the assisting component is affected by the pushing component and unfolds on the outer wall of the sleeve 201 to assist the rotating drum 106 in rotating. When the rotating drum 106 is at a high speed, the assisting component closes inward and is close to the outer wall of the sleeve 201 to reduce turbulence interference.
[0041] The chamber 102 is located inside the base 101. Other components are installed inside the chamber to drive the rotating drum 106 to rotate above the chamber 102. The rotation speed of the rotating drum 106 is controlled by the internal components. A generator is also installed inside the chamber 102. The part of the rotating drum 106 located inside the chamber 102 is connected to a belt. The rotation of the rotating drum 106 is transmitted to the generator through the belt, which drives the generator to generate electricity. The kinetic energy of the rotating drum 106 is converted into electrical energy and supplied to other equipment on the ship.
[0042] The sleeve 201 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating drum 106, and multiple assisting components are arrayed on its surface. Initially, the assisting components move inward and adhere tightly to the outer wall of the sleeve 201. When the rotating drum 106 rotates, the pushing component on the inner wall of the sleeve 201 moves first due to the rotation of the rotating drum 106. The pushing component drives the assisting components to unfold outward on the outer wall of the sleeve 201. Then, the sleeve 201 rotates synchronously with the rotating drum 106. After the assisting components unfold on the outer wall of the sleeve 201, they are used to capture wind energy. When the wind force is low, the rotating drum 106 is driven to rotate by the assisting components. This can reduce the energy consumption required to drive the rotating drum 106 to rotate at low speeds. At the same time, capturing wind energy by the assisting components can also accelerate the rotation speed of the rotating drum 106 at low wind speeds, thereby increasing the rotation speed of the rotating drum 106 to drive the generator to generate electricity at low wind speeds.
[0043] When the wind speed is high, the assisting components move inward on the outer wall of the sleeve 201 and re-tighten the sleeve 201. This prevents the assisting components, which are in the extended state outside the sleeve 201, from being directly subjected to the wind force when the wind speed is high. This reduces the risk of the ship tilting due to uneven force caused by excessive wind and ensures the safety of ship navigation.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] This is the second embodiment of the present application, which is implemented based on the previous embodiment.
[0046] Specifically, refer to Figures 4-6 The pushing component includes a first toothed ring 301 installed on the inner wall of the sleeve 201. An array of moving blocks 302 is arranged on the outer wall of the first toothed ring 301. The moving blocks 302 are located on the inner wall of the groove 2011 opened on the outer wall of the sleeve 201. A sliding plate 303 is provided on the outer wall of the moving blocks 302, and the end of the sliding plate 303 extends to the inner wall of the slide 2012 opened on the outer wall of the groove 2011 and slides with it.
[0047] The outer wall of the sleeve 201 is arrayed with multiple grooves 2011. The first toothed ring 301 is inside the sleeve 201. The moving block 302 on the surface of the first toothed ring 301 is inside the grooves 2011 on the surface of the sleeve 201. The first toothed ring 301 is fixed inside the sleeve 201 by the moving block 302. At the same time, the moving block 302 slides inside the groove 2011 by the cooperation of the sliding plate 303 and the slide rail 2012 on the surface of the moving block 302. Meanwhile, the distance that the first toothed ring 301 rotates inside the sleeve 201 is synchronized with the moving block 302.
[0048] Preferred, refer to Figures 4-7 The inner wall of the sleeve 201 is also provided with a rotating gear 401, which meshes with the first toothed ring 301. A second toothed ring 402 is also provided at the end of the rotating gear 401. The second toothed ring 402 meshes with the rotating gear 401 and is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 106. The second toothed ring 402 rotates with the rotating cylinder 106 and causes the first toothed ring 301 to rotate on the inner wall of the sleeve 201 through the rotating gear 401. The moving block 302 on the outer wall of the first toothed ring 301 slides inside the sliding groove 2011 on the outer wall of the sleeve 201.
[0049] The rotating gear 401 is located between the first gear ring 301 and the second gear ring 402. The rotating gear 401 is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 201, and the second gear ring 402 is fixed to the outside of the rotating cylinder 106. It rotates together with the rotating cylinder 106. Through the rotating gear 401, the rotation direction of the first gear ring 301 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second gear ring 402.
[0050] When the first gear ring 301 rotates, it drives the moving block 302 on the outer surface to slide in the groove 2011 on the surface of the sleeve 201. When the moving block 302 slides to the side of the groove 2011, the moving block 302 abuts against the side of the groove 2011. At the same time, the rotating gear 401 is fixed and no longer rotates. The rotating gear 401 drives the entire sleeve 201 to rotate together with the rotating cylinder 106.
[0051] Reference Figures 6-8 A tension spring 304 is connected to the inner wall of the moving block 302. The other end of the tension spring 304 is fixed to the inner wall of the slide groove 2011 to pull the moving block 302. A damping rod 305 is hinged to the outer wall of the moving block 302, and one end of the damping rod 305 away from the moving block 302 is hinged to the outer wall of the assisting component. A first connecting rod 306 is also provided on the outer wall of the damping rod 305, and the first connecting rod 306 is hinged to the outer wall of the moving block 302. A connecting sleeve 308 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first connecting rod 306. A second connecting rod 309 is fixed on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 308, and the second connecting rod 309 is hinged to the outer wall of the assisting component.
[0052] The tension spring 304 is fixed to the side of the slide groove 2011, and its other end is connected to the side of the moving block 302. The tension spring 304 pulls the moving block 302 toward one side of the slide groove 2011. Figure 8 As shown, when the moving block 302 is pulled to the left, the first toothed ring 301 rotates, which moves the moving block 302 from the left to the right inside the slide groove 2011.
[0053] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting rod 306 is installed on the upper and lower sides of the damping rod 305 respectively. The damping rod 305 is hinged to the surface of the moving block 302 and the outer wall of the assisting component respectively. The pulling component composed of the first connecting rod 306 and the second connecting rod 309 is also hinged to the surface of the moving block 302 and the assisting component. The end of the first connecting rod 306 moves inside the connecting sleeve 308 at the other end of the second connecting rod 309.
[0054] Preferably, the outer wall of the first connecting rod 306 is fitted with a first elastic element 307 and the first elastic element 307 is located on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 308. When the first toothed ring 301 drives the moving block 302 to move inside the slide groove 2011, the first elastic element 307 located on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 308 pulls the second connecting rod 309. The second connecting rod 309 cooperates with the damping rod 305 to drive the assisting element to unfold on the outer wall of the sleeve 201.
[0055] The first elastic element 307 is sleeved at the bottom position of the first connecting rod 306, inside the connecting sleeve 308, and pushes the bottom position of the first connecting rod 306 inside the connecting sleeve 308 toward the position of the second connecting rod 309.
[0056] In the initial position, the moving block 302 is located on the left side of the slide groove 2011. At this time, the bottom of the pulling member formed by the damping rod 305, the first connecting rod 306, and the second connecting rod 309 is on the left side of the slide groove 2011, and the whole is in a relaxed state. When the moving block 302 is driven by the first toothed ring 301 to slide from the left side of the slide groove 2011 to the right side, the bottom of the damping rod 305 and the first connecting rod 306 moves to the right side. The end of the first connecting rod 306 slides outward inside the connecting sleeve 308, squeezing the first elastic member 307 while pulling the connecting sleeve 308 and the second connecting rod 309, thereby pulling the assisting member to unfold on the outer surface of the sleeve 201.
[0057] In summary, during use, in the initial state when the rotating drum 106 is not moving, the moving block 302 is in the left position within the groove 2011 on the surface of the sleeve 201. At this time, the pulling member formed by the first connecting rod 306 and the second connecting rod 309 is hinged to the outer wall of the assisting member, but it cannot pull the assisting member. The assisting member remains pressed against the outer wall of the sleeve 201. When the rotating drum 106 is at a low speed, the second toothed ring 402 rotates synchronously with the rotating drum 106. At the same time, it drives the first toothed ring 301 to rotate through the rotating gear 401. The rotation direction of the first toothed ring 301 is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating drum 106. The moving block 302 rotates first with the first toothed ring 301. The moving block 302 slides from the left side to the right side of the groove 2011. At the same time, the rotating gear 401 stops rotating. The second toothed ring 402 moves and rotates with the rotating gear 401, and drives the sleeve 201 to rotate together with the rotating drum 106.
[0058] When the moving block 302 slides to the right side of the slide groove 2011, the bottom end of the first connecting rod 306 moves from the left to the right. The end of the first connecting rod 306 is pulled outward inside the connecting sleeve 308, which in turn pulls the end of the assisting component to rotate outside the sleeve 201 through the pulling member, so that the assisting component unfolds on the outer wall of the sleeve 201. With the unfolding of the assisting component, the rotation direction of the sleeve 201 is the same as that of the rotating drum 106. The first toothed ring 301 rotates in the opposite direction to make the assisting component unfold, so that the rotating drum 106 can capture the wind at low speed and low wind speed. The assisting component drives the rotating drum 106 to rotate quickly, which can reduce the energy consumption required for the rotation of the rotating drum 106 itself, and can also drive the generator to generate electricity by increasing the rotation speed of the rotating drum 106, so as to power other equipment on the ship and reduce the load on the main engine.
[0059] When the wind speed is high, the assisting component closes inward on the outside of the sleeve 201 to reduce the impact of the wind on the assisting component.
[0060] Example 3
[0061] This is the third embodiment of the present application, which is implemented based on the previous embodiment.
[0062] Specifically, refer to Figures 5-7 The assisting component includes a rotating shell 204. A connecting post 2044 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating shell 204. The connecting post 2044 is connected to a first fixing ring 202 and a second fixing ring 206 fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 201. A first limiting block 2021 is provided on the outer wall of the first fixing ring 202, and a second limiting block 2061 is provided on the outer wall of the second fixing ring 206. The end of the connecting post 2044 passes through the first limiting block 2021 and the second limiting block 2061 and fixes the rotating shell 204 between the first fixing ring 202 and the second fixing ring 206.
[0063] The rotating shell 204 is hollow inside. The connecting post 2044 passes through the rotating shell 204, and its two ends pass through the first limiting block 2021 outside the first fixing ring 202 and the second limiting block 2061 outside the second fixing ring 206, respectively, fixing the rotating shell 204 in the middle. The first fixing ring 202 and the second fixing ring 206 are fixed to the outside of the sleeve 201 and rotate synchronously with the sleeve 201.
[0064] Preferred, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The outer wall of the rotating shell 204 is provided with a fan blade 2041 and a half gear 2042 is provided at the end of the fan blade 2041. The half gear 2042 is located at the end of the rotating shell 204 and meshes with the first rotating gear 203 provided at the end of the first fixed ring 202 and the second rotating gear 207 provided at the end of the second fixed ring 206.
[0065] The fan blade 2041 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shell 204. The outer surface of the fan blade 2041 is arc-shaped and the inside of the fan blade 2041 is hollow. The half gear 2042 is fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating shell 204 and connected to the end of the fan blade 2041. The rotating shell 204, the fan blade 2041 and the half gear 2042 are a whole, located between the first fixed ring 202 and the second fixed ring 206. At the same time, the half gear 2042 on the surface of the rotating shell 204 meshes with the first rotating gear 203 and the second rotating gear 207. With the connecting column 2044 inside the rotating shell 204 as the axis, the rotating shell 204 rotates. When the rotating shell 204 rotates, the fan blade 2041 on the surface unfolds outward.
[0066] Reference Figure 6 The outer wall of the rotating shell 204 is provided with a fixing block 205 and a fixing protrusion 2051 is provided on the end face of the fixing block 205. The fixing protrusion 2051 is hinged to the end of the damping rod 305 and the second connecting rod 309. The fixing protrusion 2051 is pulled by the cooperation of the second connecting rod 309 and the damping rod 305, and the rotating shell 204 rotates about the connecting column 2044 on the inner wall as the axis.
[0067] The fixing block 205 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shell 204, and the fixing protrusion 2051 on the surface extends outward, such as... Figure 6As shown, the end of the damping rod 305 and the end of the second connecting rod 309 are hinged to the hinge post on the surface of the fixed protrusion 2051. When the moving block 302 slides from the left to the right inside the slide groove 2011, the pulling member composed of the first connecting rod 306 and the second connecting rod 309 changes angle from a position on the same horizontal line as the fixed protrusion 2051. At this time, the first connecting rod 306 moves outward inside the connecting sleeve 308, pulling the second connecting rod 309, and then pulling the fixed protrusion 2051, causing the rotating shell 204 to rotate around the connecting post 2044 as the axis. The fan blade 2041 rotates with the rotating shell 204 and unfolds outward, capturing wind energy through the inner arc surface of the fan blade 2041 to enhance the propulsion of the ship.
[0068] Better, such as Figures 1-3 A fixed platform 103 is provided on the inner wall of the chamber 102. A power component 104 is provided inside the fixed platform 103, and a rotating shaft 105 is provided at the end of the power component 104. The end of the rotating shaft 105 extends to the outer wall of the chamber 102 and is located on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 106. The rotating cylinder 106 rotates at the end of the chamber 102 with the rotating shaft 105.
[0069] The chamber 102 is located inside the base 101, and the fixed platform 103 is fixed inside the chamber 102. At the same time, the power component 104 is fixed inside the fixed platform 103. The power component 104 can adjust the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 105 according to the external wind speed. Meanwhile, the rotating drum 106 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 105 and rotates with the rotating shaft 105, and is also controlled by the power component 104.
[0070] In summary, during use, when the rotating drum 106 rotates, the first toothed ring 301 rotates with the rotating drum 106 first. The moving block 302 slides from left to right in the sliding groove 2011. After the moving block 302 stops sliding, the sleeve 201 rotates with the rotating drum 106. At the same time, after the moving block 302 slides to the right side, it pulls the second connecting rod 309 through the first connecting rod 306, so that the fan blade 2041 unfolds outside the sleeve 201 along with the rotating shell 204. At low wind speeds, the fan blade 2041 unfolds to capture wind energy and increase the rotation speed of the rotating drum 106, thereby reducing the required energy consumption and driving the generator to generate electricity.
[0071] When the wind speed is high, the pressure difference between the concave and convex surfaces of the blade 2041 increases, with the pressure on the concave surface being higher than that on the convex surface. The force generated by this pressure difference causes the blade 2041 to move inward. As the wind speed further increases, the pressure difference also increases accordingly, causing the blade to move inward. This allows the blade 2041 to overcome the tension generated by the first connecting rod 306, causing the blade 2041 to close tightly against the sleeve 201, reducing wind resistance and instability. This also prevents the blade 2041 from being reversed by turbulence and other factors when it unfolds at high wind speeds, thus avoiding power interference and mechanical wear.
