Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rotor sails, and in particular to a ship with a rotor sail having a track-type base. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, ocean-going ships have gradually begun to develop in the direction of wind-assisted navigation. Although wind power cannot completely replace ship fuel, it can reduce the ship's carbon dioxide emissions and save fuel consumption. Modern ship sails are different from old-fashioned canvas sails. They are mainly divided into two types: wing-shaped sails and rotor sails. Among them, the rotor sail is a vertical cylindrical device set on the deck of the ship. During the voyage, the cylinder is driven to rotate by a motor. When passing through the natural wind field at sea, it uses the aerodynamic phenomenon called the Magnus effect to generate thrust to provide power for the ship's movement, thereby saving a lot of fuel and reducing emissions.

[0003] Although the rotor sail occupies the smallest deck space compared to other types of wind-assisted propulsion equipment while achieving the same propulsion effect, it will still have a certain impact on the use of cranes to load and unload cargo after the ship berths.

[0004] In view of the above problems, this patent proposes a track-type base suitable for a rotor sail. Utility Model Content

[0033] The present application provides a ship with a track-type base rotor sail.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application,

[0035] A ship with a track-type base rotor sail comprises a hull 1 and a deck layer 2, wherein the deck layer 2 comprises a plurality of cargo areas 21 and a plurality of sail areas 22, and a track-type base 3 is arranged in each sail area 22;

[0036] The cargo area 21 is used for loading and unloading containers and large equipment, but the sail components on conventional ships are fixed on the deck and cannot move. Therefore, it has a great impact on the handling of goods. For this reason, the utility model makes an improvement and sets the sail components in the sail area 22 in a movable manner.

[0037] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, each sail area 22 is arranged at intervals from each cargo area 21, and the direction of the track base 3 of each sail area 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the hull.

[0038] Specifically, in each sail area 22, the track-type base 3 includes a base 31, a sail assembly 32 and a moving device 4, the sail assembly 32 is fixed above the base 31, the moving device 4 includes a moving track 5 and a driving device, the driving device is arranged inside the base 31, the moving track 5 is two, and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sail area 22, and the driving device drives the base 31 to reciprocate along the moving track 5;

[0039] A locking mechanism 7 is provided inside the base 31 , and the locking mechanism 7 is a hydraulic telescopic rod. The entire base 31 is fixed by the clamping of the telescopic rod and the moving track 5 .

[0040] When the hull 1 is sailing, the locking mechanism 7 fixes the base 31 in the middle of the moving track 5 to allow the sail assembly 32 to operate normally. When the hull 1 is docked, the locking mechanism 7 fixes the base 31 at the end of the moving track 5 to prevent the sail assembly 32 from affecting the loading and unloading of goods.

[0041] A cable reel 8 is also provided on the side wall of the base 31. By providing the cable reel, it can be ensured that the cables of the mobile device can be gathered at any time, the wires will not be placed in a disorderly manner, and the safety of the entire device is ensured.

[0042] The entire rotor sail is moved to one side of the hull 1, avoiding the cargo areas 21, thereby reducing the obstruction caused by the sail assembly 32 to the ship's cargo loading and unloading process, allowing large equipment to operate more flexibly and quickly, thereby improving the overall loading and unloading speed. After the cargo loading and unloading is completed, the entire rotor sail is moved to the middle position of the hull and fixed to the movable track 4 by the locking mechanism 7.

[0043] The utility model relates to a locking mechanism 7, which is a hydraulic or electric telescopic rod, and a plurality of corresponding limit holes 50 are provided on the movable track 5; when the base 31 is moved to the working position, or moved to the side of the hull 1 for loading and unloading, the telescopic rod is clamped and fixed in the limit hole 50.

[0044] The entire base 31 is a base with a square bottom, the upper part of which is connected to the sail assembly 32 , and the bottom is provided with a driving device, which specifically includes four driving assemblies 6 , and each of the driving assemblies 6 is respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom of the base 31 .

[0045] Each of the movable rails 5 includes a guide rail 51 and a sliding rail 52 . The guide rail 51 includes a rail bracket 511 and a guide rack 512 . The sliding rail 52 is arranged on the deck layer 2 .

[0046] The sliding track 52 and the guide rack 512 are arranged in parallel. The guide rack 512 is located on the side wall of the base 31 . The driving device is gear-engaged with the guide rack 512 .

[0047] In each driving component 6, the driving component 6 includes a driving motor 61, a coupling 62, a connecting rod 63, a driving tooth 64 and a driven wheel 65, the input end of the coupling 62 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 61, one end of the connecting rod 63 is connected to the output end of the coupling 62, and the other end of the connecting rod 63 is connected to the driving tooth 64, the driving tooth 64 is gear-engaged with the guide rack 512, and the driven wheel 65 is rollingly matched with the sliding track 52.

[0048] The driving motor 61 is generally a servo motor, and the whole is powered by the driving motor 61. The power is transmitted to the driving teeth 64 through the coupling 62 and the connecting rod 63, and the vehicle moves forward and backward through the guide track 51. Since direct drive requires a large amount of power, the overall weight and the corresponding driving method are changed to rolling + sliding friction. That is, a sliding track 52 and a driven wheel 65 are set at the bottom of the entire base, and positioning only needs to be performed through the driving teeth 64, which are spur gears or helical gears.

[0049] The cross section of the sliding track 52 is sector-shaped, and the hub of the driven wheel 65 is buckled on the sliding track 52 .

[0050] As an embodiment of the present invention, each sail area 22 is arranged at intervals from each cargo area 21, and the direction of the track base 3 of each sail area 22 is perpendicular to the length direction of the hull.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown: As an embodiment of the utility model, each sail area 22 can also be connected end to end in sequence, and the two sides of each sail area 22 are set as the cargo area 21, and the track base 3 of each sail area 22 is set in parallel with the length direction of the hull, and it is only necessary to connect the moving tracks 4 of each sail area 22 end to end.

[0052] Working principle: When the ship is moored at the dock for loading and unloading cargo, the hydraulic telescopic rod of the locking mechanism 7 is started. After the telescopic rod is moved away from the corresponding buckle, the drive motor 61 is started to make the drive tooth 64 slide along the guide track 51. By setting a rack structure and a matching guide gear, the moving position of the control base can be stabilized.

[0053] The entire base 31 and the sail assembly 32 are moved to one side of the hull 1, and the hydraulic telescopic rod of the locking mechanism 7 is restarted to fix the entire base 31; the hull 1 is provided with a movable track-type base, and the position of the sail assembly 32 can be adjusted according to the situation. When the ship is moored at the dock for loading and unloading cargo, the base can be relied on to transfer along the movable track to move the rotary sail to one side of the hull to avoid the cargo loading and unloading area, thereby reducing the obstruction caused by the sail assembly to the cargo loading and unloading process of the ship, so that large equipment can be operated more flexibly and quickly, and the overall loading and unloading speed is improved;

[0054] After the cargo loading and unloading is completed, the driving motor 61 is started with reverse current to move the entire base 31 and the sail assembly 32 to the middle position of the hull 1, and the hydraulic telescopic rod of the locking mechanism 7 is started again to fix the entire base 31.

[0055] After loading and unloading is completed, the entire rotor sail is moved to the middle position and fixed by the locking mechanism, and then it can sail normally. The entire sail assembly is transferred quickly and quickly, and by setting up a cable reel, it can ensure that the cables of the mobile device can be gathered at any time, so that the wires will not be placed in a disorderly manner, ensuring the safety of the entire device;

[0056] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and the execution order of the method steps is not limited. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0057] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
