[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] This embodiment provides a device for measuring the force on a sailing ship mast. Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a device for measuring the force on a sailing ship mast provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 is an internal structural diagram of a device for measuring the force on a sailing ship mast provided in this embodiment. From Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that the force measurement device 1 includes a frame 11 for inserting the sailing ship mast 2, a pressure detection component 12 arranged on the frame 11, a pressure transmission component 13 arranged in the frame 11, and a force display (not shown in the figure) connected to the pressure detection component 12; the pressure transmission component 13 is connected to the pressure detection component 12, and a through hole 131 for the sailing ship mast 2 to pass through is formed on the pressure transmission component 13, and the pressure transmission component 13 is configured to transmit the pressure to the pressure detection component 12 after receiving the pressure from the sailing ship mast 2; the pressure detection component 12 is configured to detect the pressure of the sailing ship mast 2 and transmit the force parameter of the sailing ship mast 2 to the force display; the force display is configured to display the force parameter of the sailing ship mast 2. Thus, for the force measurement device 1 of the sailing ship mast 2 provided in this embodiment, by setting the frame 11, it can provide a supporting force for the sailing ship mast 2 and at the same time lay a foundation for installing the pressure detection component 12; by arranging the pressure transmission component 13 in the frame 11 and connecting the pressure transmission component 13 with the pressure detection component 12, it can transmit the pressure generated by the sailing ship mast 2 in the stressed state to the pressure detection component 12, laying a foundation for obtaining the pressure of the sailing ship mast 2; by arranging the pressure detection component 12 on the frame 11, it can detect the pressure of the sailing ship mast 2 in the stressed state, laying a foundation for obtaining the force condition of the sailing ship mast 2; by connecting the pressure detection component 12 with the force display, the force condition of the sailing ship mast 2 can be obtained relatively accurately and intuitively from the force display, so that the control mode of the sailing ship can be determined.

[0033] Preferably, a limiting structure ( Figure 2 in the example includes a sleeve 111) is arranged at the bottom inside the frame 11, and the limiting structure is configured to limit the offset position of the bottom of the sailing ship mast 2. Thus, by arranging the limiting structure at the bottom inside the frame 11, the sailing ship mast 2 has a smaller offset in the stressed state and can remain relatively upright, which is more conducive to the sailing of the sailing ship.

[0034] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a sleeve 111 vertically arranged at the center of the bottom inside the frame 11, and the bottom of the sailing ship mast 2 is inserted into the sleeve 111. Thus, by arranging the sleeve 111 to insert the sailing ship mast 2, the offset position of the bottom of the sailing ship mast 2 can be better limited.

[0035] It should be noted that the present invention does not overly limit the specific form of the limiting structure, as long as it can limit the offset position of the bottom of the sailing ship mast 2. In other embodiments, the limiting structure can also be a limiting blind hole (not shown in the figure) arranged at the center of the bottom inside the frame 11.

[0036] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the sleeve 111 and the diameter of the through hole 131 on the pressure transmission component 13 both exceed the outer diameter of the sailing ship mast 2 by a preset value. Thus, when the sailing ship mast 2 is in a stressed state, while relatively keeping the sailing ship mast 2 upright, the pressure of the sailing ship mast 2 can be transmitted to the pressure detection component 12 through the pressure transmission component 13.

[0037] Preferably, the value range of the preset value is from 2 millimeters to 10 millimeters.

[0038] It should be noted that the present invention does not overly limit the specific values of the inner diameter of the sleeve 111 and the diameter of the through hole 131 on the pressure transmission component 13, as long as the pressure of the sailing ship mast 2 can be transmitted to the pressure detection component 12 through the pressure transmission component 13 while relatively keeping the sailing ship mast 2 upright.

[0039] Furthermore, the frame 11 includes an uncovered cuboid frame. Thus, by setting the uncovered cuboid frame, it is convenient to insert the sailing ship mast 2 and lays a foundation for obtaining the force conditions of the sailing ship mast 2 in all directions.

[0040] It should be noted that the present invention does not overly limit the type of the frame 11, as long as it can insert the sailing ship mast 2 and can set the pressure detection component 12 on the frame 11. In other embodiments, the frame 11 can also be a regular hexagonal box with an open top.

[0041] Preferably, the pressure detection component 12 includes a pressure sensor (not marked in the figure), and the pressure sensor is embedded in at least three sides of the uncovered cuboid frame. Thus, by embedding the pressure sensor in at least three sides of the uncovered cuboid frame, the forward force and lateral force received by the sailing ship mast 2 can be detected.

[0042] Furthermore, the pressure transmission component 13 includes a square pressure transmission block (not marked in the figure), and each side of the square pressure transmission block is respectively in contact with each side of the uncovered cuboid frame. Thus, after the square pressure transmission block receives the pressure from the sailing ship mast 2, it can transmit the pressure to the corresponding side of the uncovered cuboid frame.

[0043] Specifically, the pressure sensor is embedded in all four sides of the uncovered cuboid frame, a square pressure transmission block is arranged inside the uncovered cuboid frame, and the four sides of the square pressure transmission block are respectively threadedly connected to the pressure sensors embedded in the four sides of the uncovered cuboid frame through screws (not shown in the figure). After the square pressure transmission block receives the pressure from the sailing ship mast 2, it can transmit the pressure to the corresponding pressure sensor.

[0044] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose excessive limitations on the structural type of the pressure transmission component 13, as long as it can transmit the pressure to the pressure detection component after receiving the pressure from the sailing ship mast.

[0045] Preferably, the force parameters of the sailing ship mast 2 include the forward force and the lateral force. Thus, by obtaining the forward force and the lateral force of the sailing ship mast 2, the force condition of the sailing ship mast 2 can be known relatively accurately, so that the control method of the sailing ship can be determined.
