[0002] Traditional ships are mostly powered by fuel engines, which have large power output but high fuel consumption, low thermal efficiency, and serious pollution of carbon emissions and nitrogen oxides, making it difficult to meet the increasingly stringent environmental protection and energy efficiency requirements. With the development of electric power energy and energy storage technology, pure electric ships have begun to be applied in offshore and inland shipping. However, the existing electric ships generally use manual plug-in charging mode, which is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also prone to electric shock, short circuit and other safety accidents in humid, salt spray and other marine environments, seriously restricting the convenience and reliability of electric ship charging operations. Therefore, wireless charging technology is introduced to provide a systematic optimization solution for electric ships and promote industry upgrading from multiple dimensions such as efficiency, safety and environmental protection.

[0003] In the existing wireless ship charging docking system, the coil coupling module is almost composed of a flat plate or a rigid annular coil. This kind of structure exposes a series of key defects closely related to power flexible adjustment and dynamic position adaptation in the application scene of electric ships. Firstly, the effective area surrounded by the coil is fixed and cannot flexibly adjust the output power, and electric ships have different tonnage, different battery SOC state or power demand in different charging stages. Secondly, the coil size is fixed, and its maximum transmission capacity and optimal resonance frequency are determined at the design time, which is difficult to economically and efficiently adapt to various types of electric ships. Thirdly, the electric ship will move irregularly in space when it is docked in the port, which is easy to misalign. The fixed coil area will cause the working in low efficiency or off-tune state, which has serious safety hazards. SUMMARY

[0009] The driving coupling part is a cut-edge flange.

[0010] The slotted plate is provided with a row of coil mounting holes on the top along the length direction.

[0011] Each of the eight equal parts of the connecting disc is provided with a circular hole for determining the installation position of the magnetic field generating bottom plate.

[0012] The wireless charging device further comprises a supporting part which is an L-shaped folding part.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: 1、The present application realizes automatic charging of the ship during loading and unloading or short-term berthing through a dynamic energy compensation mode, effectively reduces the charging downtime, guarantees the continuity of operation, and reduces the efficiency loss caused by charging interruption. Since the coil passes through the moving part, the moving part moves linearly on the guide rail under the action of the motor, the effective area surrounded by the coil can be changed, and the output power can be effectively controlled.

[0014] 2、The present application adds a driving coupling part, converts the rotary motion of the screw into linear motion by using a trimmed flange, reduces the inertia through a square section matching plate, and ensures positioning accuracy.

[0015] 3、The excitation device in the magnetic field control and integration of the present application adopts an eighth of a circular magnetic sheet combined with a connecting disc, controls the magnetic field strength through uniform arrangement of the magnetic sheet and adjustable air gap design. The magnetic sheet is slotted to ensure that the moving part does not interfere, and the connecting disc is positioned by a divided hole to ensure installation accuracy.

[0016] 4、The present application designs a 158mm long guide rail matched with a support plate, enhances the stiffness through a folding structure, and reserves a connecting hole position, which facilitates assembly with the motor and the excitation device, and reduces the influence of installation error on motion accuracy.
