Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of yacht control systems, and particularly to an environmentally friendly power control method and control system for yachts. Background Art

[0002] A yacht is a high-grade durable consumer good for water entertainment. It integrates functions such as navigation, sports, entertainment, and leisure, meeting the needs of individuals and families to enjoy life. Like cars, most yachts are privately owned; the essential feature that a yacht is an entertainment tool differentiates it from high-speed boats and tourist passenger ships as transportation tools.

[0003] Existing yachts still use gasoline or diesel as power raw materials to provide power drive for yachts. However, they have been relying on gasoline and diesel, which are prone to leakage during use, thus causing pollution to water bodies. For this reason, a hybrid power system of oil and electricity has been developed to reduce the consumption of gasoline and diesel, thereby reducing the emission of waste gas.

[0004] However, when driving a yacht through a hybrid power system of oil and electricity, the following problems will occur. When the electricity consumption is relatively high, the battery cannot be replenished in time, resulting in a short actual sailing time and distance when sailing with electricity, thus leading to the defect of increased emissions of oil waste gas.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs an environmentally friendly power control method and control system for yachts to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly power control method and control system for yachts, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1, turn on the control system; Step 2, determine whether each component is normal. If so, proceed to the next step; otherwise, stop for maintenance; Step 3, initially obtain the wind direction; Step 4, determine whether the obtained wind direction is consistent with the course direction. Otherwise, control the engine to increase the fuel supply and control the sailing speed through the fuel supply. If so, control the engine to reduce the fuel supply and maintain the required sailing speed. At the same time, turn on the wind energy recovery device; Step 5, store the electric energy recovered from the wind energy in the first battery; Step 6, determine whether the electric energy stored in the first battery is higher than 80% of the full charge. Otherwise, continue to store the converted wind energy. If so, store the electric energy in the second battery; Step 7, determine whether the second battery is fully charged. Otherwise, continue to drive with the fuel system. If so, switch to the electric drive system to provide power for the yacht.

[0007] Preferably, in Step 3, initially obtaining the wind direction specifically means detecting through a wind direction and wind speed detector.

[0008] Preferably, in step 4, determining whether the downwind direction is consistent with the course includes that when the angle between the detected wind direction and the sailing direction is less than 45 degrees, it is considered a downwind direction.

[0009] Preferably, it further includes step 8. When sailing downwind, detect the wind force in the same direction and determine whether the wind force is too large. Otherwise, maintain the fuel supply method when sailing downwind in step 4 to control the sailing speed. If so, the electric propulsion system consumes the power of the second battery at a slower speed.

[0010] Preferably, step 8 further includes that when the wind force in the same direction is too large, promptly remind the driver for early warning.

[0011] Preferably, specifically storing electric energy in the second battery in step 6 is as follows: The first battery transfers electricity not exceeding 90% of its existing power to the second battery.

[0012] Preferably, step 6 further includes that when the power of the second battery is lower than 90%, the second battery stops supplying power to the electric propulsion system, and at this time, the first battery charges the second battery.

[0013] Preferably, the system includes a control module for controlling each module of the yacht; a wind direction and wind force detection module for detecting the wind direction and wind force; a power module for providing power in a hybrid fuel - electricity manner; a wind energy conversion module for converting the wind energy during sailing into electric energy; and an electric energy storage module for storing the electric energy converted by the wind energy.

[0014] Preferably, in the power module, the power is switched according to the wind direction and wind force detection module and the electric energy storage module. When the detected wind force is in the downwind direction and the second battery is saturated, the power module switches to the electric propulsion mode to drive the yacht at this time.

[0015] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects: Charge the battery through the wind force, and then determine whether to switch the power system based on the saturation of the second battery, thereby effectively charging the battery during driving and meeting the endurance of the electric propulsion system during sailing;

[0016] When the wind force in the same direction is too large, reduce the power consumption of the electric propulsion system, enable the yacht to sail at the required sailing speed, and further reduce the power loss. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The following will be further described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1-3 This application will be further described in detail.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-2 , a yacht environmental protection power control method and its control system, the method includes the following steps: S1, step 1, turn on the control system;

[0026] S2, step 2, determine whether each component is normal. If so, enter the next step; otherwise, stop for maintenance;

[0027] S3, step 3, initially obtain the wind direction, specifically by detecting with a wind direction and wind speed detector;

[0028] S4, step 4, determine whether the obtained wind direction, specifically the angle between the detected wind direction and the sailing direction, is less than 45 degrees. If it is, it is a favorable wind; otherwise, when it is against the wind, control the engine to increase the fuel supply to control the speed required for sailing. If it is a favorable wind, control the engine to reduce the fuel supply to maintain the required sailing speed, and at the same time turn on the wind energy recovery device;

[0029] S5, step 5, store the electric energy recovered from the wind energy in the first battery, specifically by recovering the wind energy through a wind energy conversion device and storing the generated wind energy in the first battery;

[0030] S6, Step 6, determine whether the power stored in the first battery is higher than 80% of the full charge. Otherwise, continue to store the electric energy converted from wind energy. If so, store the electric energy in the second battery;

[0031] S7, Step 7, determine whether the power of the second battery is saturated. Otherwise, continue to drive with the fuel system. If so, switch to the electric propulsion system to provide power for the yacht;

[0032] S8, Step 8, when sailing downwind, detect the wind force in the same direction and determine whether the wind force is too strong. Otherwise, maintain the fuel supply mode when sailing downwind in Step 4 to control the sailing speed. If so, the electric propulsion system consumes the power of the second battery at a slower speed;

[0033] Step 8 also includes determining that when the wind force in the same direction is too strong, promptly remind the driver for early warning. When the wind force approaches the set dangerous threshold value, the staff should react in time and take timely pre - measures to deal with the upcoming strong wind;

[0034] Storing the electric energy in the second battery in Step 6 specifically means: the first battery transfers the electric energy that is not higher than 90% of its existing power to the second battery, avoiding the first battery running out of power by itself and increasing the service life of the first battery;

[0035] Step 6 also includes that when the power of the second battery is lower than 90%, the second battery stops supplying power to the electric propulsion system. At this time, the first battery charges the second battery;

[0036] Step 6 also includes that there are two second batteries. When the power of one of the batteries is too low, switch to the other second battery for power supply; when the powers of both second batteries are not saturated, the electric system stops running and uses fuel as the power; when sailing downwind and one of the second batteries is saturated, switch to the electric propulsion system to drive the yacht. Under downwind conditions, the load on the electric propulsion system can be reduced, and the service life of the electric propulsion system can be increased; the switching between the two batteries can avoid excessive waste of electric energy generated by wind energy and make full use of the electric energy generated by wind energy;

[0037] Step 7 also includes that when one of the second batteries is working, the first battery does not charge the working second battery, thus avoiding the battery charging while working, reducing battery damage, and increasing the service life of the second battery.

[0038] Refer to Figure 3, a yacht environmental protection power control system includes a control module 101 for controlling each module of the yacht; a wind direction and wind force detection module 102 for detecting the wind direction and wind force, specifically using a wind direction and wind force detector to detect the wind direction and wind force; a power module 103 that provides power in a hybrid oil-electric manner, specifically by switching between fuel drive and electric propulsion system drive; a wind energy conversion module 104 for converting the wind energy during navigation into electrical energy through a wind energy converter; and an electrical energy storage module 105 for storing the electrical energy converted from wind energy, specifically a first battery and two second batteries.

[0039] In the power module 103, the power is switched according to the wind direction and wind force detection module 102 and the electrical energy storage module 105. When the detected wind force is in the forward direction and the second battery is saturated, the power module 103 switches to the electric propulsion mode to drive the yacht at this time.

[0040] The wind direction and wind force detection module detects the wind during navigation. When the detected wind direction is the same and one of the second batteries in the electrical energy storage module 105 is saturated, the control module 101 controls the power module 103 to switch to the electric propulsion system to provide power, reducing the exhaust emissions of fuel.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During navigation, the wind direction of navigation is detected. When the detected wind is in the same direction, the wind energy recovery device is turned on, and the electrical energy converted from wind energy is stored in the first battery. The first battery then stores the battery in one of the second batteries. At this time, it is judged whether one of the second batteries is saturated. If not, continue charging and use fuel to provide power at the same time; if saturated, switch the power system to the electric propulsion system to provide power, thereby effectively charging the battery during driving and meeting the endurance of the electric propulsion system during navigation.

[0042] At the same time, switching the electric propulsion system during navigation can effectively reduce the discharge of fuel exhaust gas and further improve the environmental protection effect.

[0043] When the oncoming wind force is too large, reduce the power consumption of the electric propulsion system to keep the yacht sailing at the required sailing speed, further reducing the loss of electrical energy.

[0044] The switching between the two batteries avoids excessive waste of electrical energy generated by wind energy, makes full use of wind energy to generate electrical energy, and further improves the environmental protection effect.
