[0002] Ships are important carriers for navigation, operation and residence on water. In order to improve the environmental adaptability of ships when berthing or operating, they are often equipped with canopy structures for sunshade, rain protection, wind protection and protection of deck equipment, so as to improve deck activity conditions, extend equipment life and improve space utilization. They have become an important design element to expand the usable space of ships and enhance the flexibility of use.

[0003] The existing ship roofs have limited adjustment functions. Their opening, closing, or movement can only be achieved through overall operation. Therefore, their adjustment is greatly limited, making it difficult to make rapid, multi-degree-of-freedom position changes according to the usage scenario, weather conditions, or ship status.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By setting up multiple sets of independent and freely movable canopies, combined with material transfer components that can connect and move the canopies, and extension components built into the canopies, the present invention achieves highly flexible and modular adjustment of the total coverage area of ​​the canopies, overcoming the shortcomings of existing canopy structures with low degree of adjustment and inconvenient operation. The present invention enables rapid and personalized adjustment of the shielding layout according to weather, operational needs or ship status, significantly improving the functionality and adaptability of ship deck space.

[0014] That is, by using the repositioning component, the present invention can open a temporary channel for the material transfer component that crosses the conventional travel limit, so that the material transfer components can bypass each other, thereby solving the travel interference problem that may occur when multiple sets of material transfer components are on a limited channel. This invention achieves a dual improvement in the ability and flexibility of the canopy adjustment, improves the efficiency of multi-canopy coordinated adjustment in the present invention, ensures the reliability and continuity of the present invention in complex layout adjustments, and enables the present invention to adapt to a wider range of more refined customized shading needs.

[0015] This invention achieves stable locking and convenient release of the canopy in an overlapping state by setting a hook-lock assembly that cooperates with the material transfer assembly. This design ensures the structural stability of the canopy when it is unfolded and overlapped, effectively resisting the effects of ship swaying or wind, preventing the canopy from shifting or falling off. Furthermore, the entire locking and unlocking process is carried out by the operation steps of the material transfer assembly without additional operation, significantly improving the safety, efficiency and automation of the invention.

[0016] This invention uses a locking assembly to engage with a first slot on the side wall of the hull to stabilize and fix the position of the canopy. This design effectively prevents the canopy from shifting due to vibration or wind when the ship is sailing or anchoring, thereby improving the overall safety and structural stability of the invention. At the same time, the unlocking and locking process is automated by means of the material transfer assembly, eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving the convenience of operation.

[0017] This invention constructs an auxiliary locking structure that works in conjunction with the locking assembly by adding a second insert driven by an electric cylinder and a matching sensing unit. This design, in conjunction with the locking assembly, achieves three-dimensional constraint on the canopy in both horizontal and vertical directions, further enhancing the canopy's wind resistance, vibration resistance, and overall stability in a fixed state. Simultaneously, the locking and unlocking process is linked to the locking assembly via sensing signals, requiring no additional operating steps. This enhances safety redundancy while ensuring smooth operation and automation, enabling the invention to operate reliably in complex maritime environments. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] Example: A ship's freely movable canopy, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes: a hull 01 with guide rails 03 arranged along its length on both sides; a cabin 02 assembled on the front side of the hull 01; and six sets of canopies 04 arranged sequentially along the length of the hull 01 and slidably assembled in the guide rails 03 on both sides, so that the canopies 04 can move back and forth along the guide rails 03, providing a freely controllable shielding function for the deck area on the hull 01 other than the cabin 02, and can be moved to cover the cabin 02. Two sets of canopies 04 can cover the outside of the cabin 02 to make full use of the storage space.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, each set of canopy body 04 includes two sets of side frame edges 041, a top frame edge 042 set on the top of the two sets of side frame edges 041, an installation strip 043 slidably set between the top frame edge 042 and the two sets of side frame edges 041, and a canopy surface 044 fixedly installed on the side frame edges 041 and the top frame edge 042. The side frame edges 041 are slidably set on the guide rail 03.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the canopy 04 is provided with insertion holes 11, specifically located on the front and rear sides of the bottom of each side frame edge 041; this canopy also includes: mounting rails 12 fixedly installed on both sides of the hull 01, located on the outside of the guide rail 03; and material transfer components 13 slidably installed on the mounting rails 12 on both sides, used to cooperate with the insertion holes 11 at the bottom of the canopy 04 to realize docking and movement of the canopy 04; like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each set of material transfer components 13 includes: a movable seat 131 slidably mounted on the mounting rail 12 in the back-to-back direction; and three sets of movable wheels 132 rotatably mounted in the movable seat 131, which cooperate with the mounting rail 12 to achieve smooth sliding of the movable seat 131; wherein, the movable seat 131 is provided with a rotary drive component 05 for driving the movable wheels 132 to rotate. Specifically, the rotary drive component 05 adopts a combination of a motor 071 and a synchronous belt set 072. The motor 071 is fixed in the movable seat 131, and the synchronous belt set 072 is located between adjacent movable wheels 132 and between the output end of the motor 071 and one of the movable wheels 132, thereby realizing the synchronous rotational drive of the motor 071 on all movable wheels 132; Each set of material transfer components 13 also includes: a movable block 133 that is slidably installed on the front and rear sides of the movable base 131 in the left and right direction; wherein, the movable base 131 is provided with a linear drive 06 for driving the movable block 133 to move left and right. Specifically, the linear drive 06 is a combination of a motor 071, a synchronous belt group 072 and a screw group 073. The motor 071 is fixed in the movable base 131, the screw group 073 rotates in the movable base 131 and is threadedly engaged with the movable block 133, the output end of the motor 071 is fixed to one of the screws in the screw group 073, and the synchronous belt group 072 is connected to each screw in the screw group 073, thereby realizing the left and right movement drive of the movable block 133 by the motor 071; Each set of material transfer components 13 also includes: an insertion block 134 that is slidably mounted on each moving block 133 in a vertical direction, for insertion into the insertion hole 11 at the bottom of the shed body 04 to form a docking; wherein, the moving block 133 is provided with a linear drive component 06 for driving the insertion block 134 to move vertically up and down. Specifically, the linear drive component 06 is a combination of a motor 071, a synchronous belt group 072 and a screw group 073. The motor 071 is fixed in the moving block 133, the screw group 073 rotates in the moving block 133 and is threadedly engaged with the insertion block 134, the output end of the motor 071 is fixed to one of the screws in the screw group 073, and the synchronous belt group 072 is connected to each screw in the screw group 073, thereby realizing the vertical displacement drive of the insertion block 134 by the motor 071.

[0042] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the canopy also includes: an extension component 21 disposed within the canopy body 04, used to control the unfolding and retraction of the canopy body 04, wherein the unfolded canopy body 04 can overlap the outside of the canopy body 04 in its normal state; The extension assembly 21 includes: spiral-patterned rods 211 spirally installed in the side frame edges 041 and the top frame edge 042, specifically located at the top of the front and rear sides of the two sets of side frame edges 041, and on the left and right sides of the front and rear sides of the top frame edge 042, that is, four rods are provided on the top frame edge 042, and two rods are provided on each side frame edge 041; the ends of all spiral-patterned rods 211 are rotatably installed in two mounting strips 043. By rotating the spiral-patterned rods 211, the mounting strips 043 can be driven to move relative to the side frame edges 041 or the top frame edge 042, thereby realizing the unfolding of the canopy 04 (side frame edges 041 and top frame edge 042). 41 (the distance between the top frame edge 042 increases) and shrinks (the distance decreases); a bevel gear set 212 is provided in the mounting strip 043. In the mounting strip 043, a set of bevel gears 212 is provided between the spiral rod 211 on the side frame edge 041 and the spiral rod 211 on the top frame edge 042, for a total of four sets. Each set of bevel gears 212 consists of two meshing bevel gears, which are respectively fixed to the ends of the spiral rod 211 on the top frame edge 042 and the spiral rod 211 on the side frame edge 041, thereby realizing the rotational transmission between the spiral rods 211.

[0043] When it is necessary to make customized adjustments to the layout of the shed 04, firstly, operate the rotation drive 05 of the moving wheel 132 to move the material transfer component 13 to the bottom of the target shed 04, operate the linear drive 06 of the moving block 133 to drive the moving block 133 to position the insertion block 134 directly below the insertion hole 11 at the bottom of the shed 04, and then operate the linear drive 06 of the insertion block 134 to drive the insertion block 134 to rise and insert into the insertion hole 11, thus completing the docking of the material transfer component 13 with the shed 04. Subsequently, if only the position of the canopy 04 needs to be changed without overlapping coverage, the material transfer component 13 can be directly controlled to move the canopy 04 and position it to cover the ship chamber 02 or other empty areas. Once completed, the canopy 04 can be directly released without unfolding it during this process.

[0044] If it is necessary for the current shed 04 to cover another shed 04, the current shed 04 must first be unfolded. The specific process is as follows: After the material transfer assembly 13 connects to the shed 04, the moving blocks 133 in the left and right material transfer assemblies 13 are controlled to move away from the hull 01, causing the two sets of side frame edges 041 to move away from each other. During this process, a relative displacement occurs between the top frame edge 042 and the mounting strip 043, causing the spiral rod 211 inside the top frame edge 042 to rotate. This rotation is synchronously transmitted to the spiral rod 211 inside the side frame edge 041 via the bevel gear set 212, thus driving the mounting strip 043 away from the side frame edge 041 and lifting the top frame edge 042 upwards. This achieves the stretching and unfolding of the entire shed 04 in both horizontal and vertical directions, increasing its coverage space. Afterwards, the material transfer assembly 13 drives the unfolded shed 04 to move along the guide rail 03, so that it completely overlaps and covers the target shed 04. Figure 7 As shown, this allows for a reasonable arrangement of the shed space.

[0045] When the overlapping of the canopy 04 is no longer needed, the unfolded canopy 04 is removed, and the moving blocks 133 in the left and right material transfer components 13 are controlled to move towards the hull 01 so that the canopy 04 can be restored to the folded state; after the adjustment is completed, the insert block 134 is controlled to descend and disengage from the insert hole 11, so that the connection between the material transfer component 13 and the canopy 04 can be released.

[0046] Throughout the adjustment process, the canopy 04 remains in an extended state only when covering other canopies 04 to maximize space utilization efficiency, while in other situations it remains retracted to ensure the structural stability and safety of the canopy 04.

[0047] This canopy, by setting up multiple independent and freely movable canopy bodies 04, in conjunction with the material transfer component 13 that can dock with and move the canopy bodies 04, and the extension component 21 built into the canopy bodies 04, achieves highly flexible and modular adjustment of the total coverage area of ​​the canopy bodies 04. It overcomes the shortcomings of existing canopy structures, such as low degree of adjustment freedom and inconvenient operation. This canopy can be quickly and personalized to adjust the shielding layout according to weather, operational needs or ship status, significantly improving the functionality and adaptability of ship deck space.

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, there are two sets of material transfer components 13 on each side of the hull 01, for a total of four sets. One set of material transfer components 13 on each side works together to increase the number of canopies 04 that can be adjusted at one time and improve the efficiency of layout adjustment. This canopy also includes: a shifting component 31 located in the middle of the mounting rails 12 on both sides, which is used to adjust the position between the material transfer components 13, thereby increasing the overall number of canopies 04 that can be adjusted while avoiding trajectory interference of the material transfer components 13.

[0049] like Figure 12 As shown, each set of transposition components 31 includes: a stepped base 311 fixedly installed on the side wall of the hull 01; and two sets of sub-tracks 312 slidably installed on the stepped base 311, one set moving vertically and the other moving horizontally left and right; wherein, a linear drive 06 is provided in the stepped base 311 to control the movement of the two sets of sub-tracks 312 and to engage or disengage from the mounting rail 12. Specifically, the linear drive 06 is a combination of a motor 071, a synchronous belt set 072, and a screw set 073. The two sets of screw sets 073 rotate in the stepped base 311, with their two axes perpendicular to each other and corresponding to the two sets of sub-tracks. The 312 threaded connection connects the screws in the screw group 073 via the synchronous belt group 072. The motor 071 is fixed in the stepped seat 311, and its output end is connected to one of the screw groups 073 via the synchronous belt group 072, and to another screw group 073 in a perpendicular direction via a bevel gear. This enables the motor 071 to drive the movement of the two sets of sub-tracks 312. When the lateral sub-track 312 moves toward the hull 01, the vertical sub-track 312 will move downward synchronously. Conversely, when the lateral sub-track 312 moves away from the hull 01, the vertical sub-track 312 will move upward synchronously.

[0050] When the shed 04 needs to be repositioned, the four sets of material transfer components 13 can work in pairs to improve the overall repositioning efficiency; and when displacement interference occurs between the material transfer components 13 during the movement, the position change component 31 can be used to change the position between the material transfer components 13. Suppose that when the rear transfer component 13 needs to move forward, the position of the front transfer component 13 will affect its displacement. By moving the front transfer component 13 to the sub-track 312 currently located in the mounting rail 12, and manipulating the linear drive component 06 of the sub-track 312, the sub-track 312 carrying the front transfer component 13 is temporarily removed from the mounting rail 12, and another sub-track 312 is moved into the mounting rail 12, thereby realizing the interchange of the two sets of sub-tracks 312. The rear transfer component 13 can then move forward through the sub-track 312 currently located in the mounting rail 12, bypassing the front transfer component 13. After the interchange is completed, the two sets of sub-tracks 312 are interchanged again, and the front transfer component 13 can be re-added into the mounting rail 12 for the adjustment of the shed body 04.

[0051] That is, through the repositioning component 31, this canopy can open a temporary channel for the material transfer component 13 that crosses the conventional travel limit, so that the material transfer components 13 can bypass each other, thereby solving the travel interference problem that may occur when multiple sets of material transfer components 13 are on a limited channel. This achieves a dual improvement in the canopy's ability to adjust the position and flexibility of the canopy body 04, improves the efficiency of the coordinated adjustment of multiple canopy bodies 04 in this canopy, ensures the reliability and continuity of this canopy in complex layout adjustments, and enables this canopy to adapt to a wider range of more refined customized shading needs.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 13 and Figure 19 As shown, the side of the canopy 04 facing the hull 01 is defined as the inner side, and the other side is defined as the outer side. A locking groove 41 is provided on the outer side of the canopy 04. The canopy also includes a hook-lock assembly 42 provided on the inner side of the canopy 04, which is used to lock the two canopies together after they overlap. The hook-lock assembly 42 is symmetrically provided on the inner side of the lower part of the two sets of side frame edges 041, and the locking groove 41 is provided on the outer side of the side frame edge 041 corresponding to the hook-lock assembly 42. That is, in a single set of canopy 04, there are a total of four sets of locking grooves 41 and hook-lock assemblies 42. like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, each hook-lock assembly 42 includes: an installation groove 421 on the inner side of the side frame edge 041; two opposing locking hooks 422 rotatably mounted in the installation groove 421; a toothed column 423 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of each locking hook 422; a movable frame 424 slidably mounted in the installation groove 421 in a vertical direction; a flat toothed part 425 fixedly mounted in the movable frame 424, meshing with the toothed column 423 to convert the vertical displacement of the movable frame 424 into the rotational motion of the toothed column 423 and the locking hook 422; a first return spring 426 fixedly mounted between the movable frame 424 and the installation groove 421, and sleeved on the sliding shaft of the movable frame 424; and a contact block 427 slidably mounted in the side frame edge 041 in a vertical direction, fixed to the movable frame 424, with its bottom extending into the insertion hole 11, so that when the insertion block 134 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the contact block 427 can be pushed to move synchronously.

[0053] When the material transfer assembly 13 moves to the bottom of the target shed 04 and manipulates the insert block 134 to insert into the insertion hole 11 of the shed 04, the insert block 134 simultaneously presses the contact block 427 located in the insertion hole 11, pushing the contact block 427 and the moving frame 424 fixed thereto to move upward. The first return spring 426 is compressed in this process. The upward movement of the moving frame 424 drives the two locking hooks 422 to rotate in opposite directions through the meshing transmission of the flat tooth part 425 and the tooth column 423 on it, so that they are retracted into the mounting groove 421 and switched to the unlocked state. If, after being transferred by the transfer assembly 13, the shed 04 is finally unfolded and covers another shed 04, then after the transfer assembly 13 completes its task and the insert 134 exits from the insertion hole 11, the first reset spring 426 pushes the moving frame 424 to reset downwards. The downward movement of the moving frame 424 will drive the locking hook 422 to rotate in the opposite direction through the flat tooth 425 and the tooth post 423, so that the locking hook 422 extends and hooks into the corresponding locking groove 41 on the outer side of the lower shed 04, thereby firmly locking the upper and lower sheds 04 into one. If the shed 04 does not need to be unfolded for overlapping after displacement, the locking hook 422 will automatically return to the initial position after the transfer assembly 13 is disengaged, and no locking action will be performed.

[0054] When it is necessary to unlock the locked shed 04, the material transfer component 13 is used to dock with the shed 04 again to drive the locking hook 422 to rotate and retract, thereby unlocking the two sheds 04 and separating them smoothly.

[0055] This canopy, by setting up a hook-lock assembly 42 that cooperates with the material transfer assembly 13, achieves stable locking and convenient release of the canopy body 04 in the overlapping state. This design ensures the structural stability of the canopy body 04 when it is unfolded and overlapped, effectively resisting the effects of ship swaying or wind, preventing the canopy body 04 from shifting or falling off. Furthermore, the entire locking and unlocking process is carried out by the operation steps of the material transfer assembly 13 without additional operation, which significantly improves the safety, efficiency and automation of the canopy.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the hull 01 has a first slot 51 on each of the two sets of side walls. There are three first slots 51 as a group, and a total of sixteen groups are provided on both sides of the hull 01. Twelve of these groups correspond one-to-one with the positions of all the canopies 04 when they are neatly arranged and unfolded. The remaining four groups are set on both sides of the cabin 02 to provide additional fixing points. The canopy also includes: locking components 52 respectively provided on both sides of the canopy 04, specifically located on the bottom inner side of the two sets of side frame edges 041, which are used to cooperate with each set of first slots 51 to lock the position of the canopy 04 in the vertical and front-back directions. like Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, each set of latching components 52 includes: three sets of first inserts 521 slidably mounted on the bottom of the side frame edge 041 in a left-right direction; a second return spring 522 fixedly mounted between each first insert 521 and the side frame edge 041; a guide frame 523 fixedly mounted inside the bottom of the side frame edge 041; and a control plate 524 slidably mounted on the guide frame 523 in a back-to-back direction. The end of the control plate 524 is provided with a first inclined surface 525, which extends to the position of the insertion hole 11, so that when the insert block 134 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, it can contact the first inclined surface 525 and push the control plate 524 to move. The middle section of the control plate 524 is provided with three second inclined surfaces 526, which respectively contact and cooperate with each first insert 521 to convert the horizontal displacement of the control plate 524 into the vertical displacement of the first insert 521. The control plate 524 has two parts, upper and lower, on which the first inclined surfaces 525 and the second inclined surfaces 526 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0057] In normal conditions, each shed 04 is locked in position by inserting the first insert 521 protruding from its locking assembly 52 into the corresponding first slot 51 on the side wall of the hull 01. When the material transfer assembly 13 needs to dock with the shed 04 and adjust its position, the action of inserting the insert block 134 into the insertion hole 11 will push the first inclined surface 525 of the control plate 524, causing the control plate 524 to be displaced under the pressure of the insert block 134. Then, the second inclined surface 526 on it will apply pressure to the first insert 521, retracting the first insert 521 from the first slot 51, realizing the automatic unlocking of the locking assembly 52. ​​During this process, the second return spring 522 is compressed. When the shed 04 is adjusted to a new position by the transfer component 13, and the transfer component 13 is disengaged and the insert block 134 is withdrawn, the second reset spring 522 releases its stored energy, pushing the first insert 521 to extend, and the control board 524 resets synchronously. If there is a corresponding first slot 51 at this position, the first insert 521 will be automatically inserted into it, realizing the automatic locking of the shed 04 in the new position. If the two sheds 04 are in an overlapping state, after the outer shed 04 is disengaged, its first insert 521 will press against the outer surface of the inner shed 04, the second reset spring 522 remains compressed, and the outer shed 04 is locked to the inner shed 04 by the hook lock component 42.

[0058] The canopy is secured in place by engaging the locking assembly 52 with the first slot 51 on the side wall of the hull 01. This design effectively prevents the canopy 04 from shifting due to vibration or wind when the ship is sailing or anchoring, thereby improving the overall safety and structural stability of the canopy. Meanwhile, the unlocking and locking process is automated by the operation of the material transfer assembly 13, eliminating the need for manual intervention and improving the ease of operation.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 18 As shown, the bottom of the canopy 04 is provided with a second slot 61, specifically located at the bottom of the two sets of side frame edges 041, with three slots in each set; the canopy also includes: an electric cylinder 63 fixedly installed on the side wall of the hull 01; three second inserts 62 fixedly installed on the control end of the electric cylinder 63, whose positions correspond one-to-one with the second slots 61 at the bottom of the canopy 04, used to assist in locking the canopy 04 from the left, right and front and rear directions; the electric cylinder 63 and its second inserts 62 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the hull 01, totaling sixteen sets, and their installation positions correspond to the sixteen sets of first slots 51 on the side wall of the hull 01; each first slot 51 is provided with a sensing unit, which is electrically connected to the corresponding electric cylinder 63.

[0060] After the position of the shed 04 is adjusted and the material transfer assembly 13 is disengaged, the first insert 521 in the locking assembly 52 automatically extends under the action of the second return spring 522 and inserts into the first slot 51 on the side wall of the hull 01. The sensing unit in the first slot 51 detects the insertion of the first insert 521 and then sends a signal to the corresponding electric cylinder 63. After receiving the signal, the electric cylinder 63 starts and drives the second insert 62 on it to extend and insert into the second slot 61 at the bottom of the shed 04, thereby achieving a combined locking of the shed 04 from the side and the bottom. Conversely, when the material transfer component 13 needs to move the shed 04 and its insert block 134 is inserted into the shed 04's insertion hole 11, the locking component 52 automatically unlocks, the first insert 521 retracts from the first slot 51, and after the sensing unit detects the disengagement of the first insert 521, it immediately sends a signal to control the corresponding electric cylinder 63 to retract the second insert 62, causing it to exit from the second slot 61; this process is synchronized with the unlocking action of the locking component 52 and is fully automatic.

[0061] This canopy, by adding a second insert 62 driven by an electric cylinder 63 and a matching sensing unit, constructs an auxiliary locking structure that works in conjunction with the locking assembly 52. ​​This design, in conjunction with the locking assembly 52, will achieve three-dimensional constraint on the canopy body 04 in the horizontal and vertical directions, further enhancing the wind resistance, vibration resistance, and overall stability of the canopy body 04 in a fixed state. At the same time, its locking and unlocking process is linked with the locking assembly 52 through sensing signals, requiring no additional operation steps. While improving safety redundancy, it also ensures smooth operation and automation, enabling this canopy to operate reliably in complex maritime environments.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
