Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of yachts, in particular to an extended balcony for yachts. Background Art

[0002] A yacht is a vessel designed specifically for leisure, recreation, and personal use, typically featuring comfortable interiors and amenities such as bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. They can sail on oceans, lakes, or rivers, offering a luxurious water-based lifestyle. Yachts range in size and configuration from small dayboats to large private yachts, catering to diverse user needs.

[0003] As a vehicle for water-based leisure and entertainment, the spatial layout of a yacht is crucial to passenger comfort and enjoyment. Traditional yacht design, often constrained by hull structure and safety regulations, results in limited leisure spaces like balconies, making it difficult to provide sufficient activity areas for tourists and impacting passenger comfort and leisure experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an extended balcony for a yacht to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present utility model is as follows.

[0006] A yacht balcony extension comprises a frame body and a window frame. A base plate is hingedly mounted between the inner walls of the frame body. The base plate defines a first inner groove, within which a first hydraulic cylinder is mounted. A movable plate is connected to the end of the first hydraulic cylinder's telescopic end. The end of the movable plate extends outward from the base plate and is mounted with a hinge plate, which is hingedly connected to the underside of the window frame's outer surface. Handrails are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of the frame body. The handrails define a second inner groove, within which a second hydraulic cylinder is mounted. A movable rod is connected to the end of the second hydraulic cylinder's telescopic end. The end of the movable rod extends outward from the handrail and is mounted with a hinge block. Both hinge blocks are hingedly connected to the upper side of the window frame's outer surface. Multiple guardrails are hingedly connected to the lower surface of the handrail, and the ends of the guardrails are hingedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. A pull-up plate is hingedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the base plate. A lifting mechanism and a drive mechanism are mounted within the frame body to drive the pull-up plate. The window frame is provided with bulletproof glass.

[0007] It can be seen that through the arrangement of components such as the bottom plate, window frame, handrail plate and pull-up plate, the bottom plate and window frame can be folded when the pull-up plate is raised and lowered by the joint action of the lifting mechanism and the driving mechanism. When the pull-up plate rises, the bottom plate and window frame can be erected to serve as windows. When the pull-up plate falls, the window frame and bottom plate can be expanded outward to form a balcony. Therefore, the tourists' activity space can be expanded within the limited space of the yacht, and tourists can be outside the yacht to enjoy the scenery, thereby improving the tourists' comfort and leisure experience. In addition, through the arrangement of the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder, the window frame can be driven to extend and retract back and forth, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the balcony space, further expanding the tourists' activity space and leisure experience.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes an installation groove opened inside the frame body, and screws are vertically and rotatably connected on both sides of the installation groove. Nut seats are installed on the outer surface of the screws. Through grooves are vertically opened on the inner walls on both sides of the frame body, and a connecting rod is connected to the outer surface of the nut seat, and the end of the connecting rod passes through the through groove and is rotatably connected to the lifting plate.

[0009] When the screw rotates, it can drive the nut seat to move along its length direction, and through the connecting action of the connecting rod, it can achieve the purpose of driving the lifting plate to move up and down.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a dual-axis motor installed inside the mounting groove, the ends of the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor are connected to a connecting shaft, the ends of the connecting shaft are connected to a worm, a worm wheel is installed on the outer surface of the screw near its upper end, and the worm wheel is meshingly connected to the worm.

[0011] When the dual-axis motor is started, its two output ends respectively drive the two connecting shafts to rotate, and the connecting shafts drive the worm to rotate. Since the worm and the worm wheel are engaged with each other, they can drive the two screws to rotate at the same time, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the lifting plate to rise and fall and folding the bottom plate and window frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing plate is installed on the lower surface of the window frame, and a rubber pad is provided on the outer surface of the hinged plate.

[0013] When the bottom plate and the window frame are erected and located on the inner side of the frame body, there is a certain gap at the hinge between the two, which may cause rainwater to seep into the room during rainy weather. Therefore, by setting the sealing plate and the rubber pad, when the bottom plate and the window frame are erected, the end of the sealing plate can be pressed on the rubber pad to form a seal, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0014] Furthermore, a water blocking groove is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the frame body, and a plurality of drainage holes are provided inside the water blocking groove along the length direction thereof.

[0015] If rainwater still penetrates into the inner side of the frame body, the rainwater flows along the bottom of the inner side of the frame body and flows into the water blocking groove, and then flows back to the outside through the drainage hole, thus achieving a secondary waterproofing effect and preventing damage to indoor furniture.

[0016] Furthermore, a support plate is installed on the outer surface of the frame body.

[0017] When the base plate is flipped to a horizontal state to form a balcony, its bottom is pressed on the supporting plate. By setting the supporting plate, the supporting capacity of the base plate can be enhanced and its structural strength can be improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, a yacht expansion balcony includes a frame body 100 and a window frame 102. A base plate 101 is hingedly installed between the inner walls of both sides of the frame body 100. A first inner groove 105 is opened inside the base plate 101. A first hydraulic cylinder 106 is installed inside the first inner groove 105. The end of the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 106 is connected to a movable plate 107. The end of the movable plate 107 extends to the outside of the base plate 101 and is installed with a hinged plate 108. The hinged plate 108 is hingedly connected to the lower side of the outer surface of the window frame 102. Armrests 103 are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the frame body 100. A second inner groove 109 is provided inside the armrest 103, and a second hydraulic cylinder 110 is mounted inside the second inner groove 109. The telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 110 is connected to a movable rod 111. The end of the movable rod 111 extends to the outside of the armrest 103 and is mounted with a hinge block 112. Both hinge blocks 112 are hingedly connected to the upper side of the outer surface of the window frame 102. The lower surface of the armrest 103 is hingedly connected to a plurality of guardrails 113, and the ends of the guardrails 113 are hingedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 101. Pull-up plates 104 are hingedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 101. A lifting mechanism 200 and a driving mechanism 300 are provided inside the frame body 100 to drive the lifting plates 104 to rise and fall. Bulletproof glass 114 is provided inside the window frame 102.

[0026] When it is needed to be erected as a window, the lifting plates 104 on both sides can be driven to rise by the cooperation of the lifting mechanism 200 and the driving mechanism 300. The rising of the lifting plates 104 drives the bottom plate 101 to rise, and the hinged action of the handrail plate 103 makes the bottom plate 101 and the window frame 102 stand on the inner side of the frame body 100 to act as windows. When it is needed to be used as a balcony, the lifting plates 104 on both sides can be driven to fall by the lifting mechanism 200 and the driving mechanism 300, so that the bottom plate 101 and the window frame 102 can be folded outwards to form the structure of a balcony, and the guardrails 113 on both sides can enhance the protective effect. It can expand the activity space of tourists within the limited space of the yacht, and enable tourists to enjoy the scenery outside the yacht, thereby improving the comfort and leisure experience of tourists. When it is necessary to expand the activity space of the balcony, it is only necessary to start the first hydraulic cylinder 106 and the second hydraulic cylinder 110. The first hydraulic cylinder 106 drives the movable plate 107 to extend outward, and the second hydraulic cylinder 110 drives the movable rod 111 to extend outward, thereby driving the window frame 102 to extend outward. The extended movable plate 107 can be used for tourists to stand, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the balcony space, further expanding the activity space and leisure experience of tourists.

[0027] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 200 includes an installation groove 201 opened inside the frame body 100, and both sides of the installation groove 201 are vertically and rotatably connected with screws 202. The outer surface of the screw 202 is installed with a nut seat 203. The inner walls on both sides of the frame body 100 are vertically opened with through grooves 204. The outer surface of the nut seat 203 is connected with a connecting rod 205, and the end of the connecting rod 205 passes through the through groove 204 and is rotatably connected to the pulling plate 104. When the screw 202 rotates, it can drive the nut seat 203 to move along its length direction, and through the connecting action of the connecting rod 205, the purpose of driving the pulling plate 104 to rise and fall is achieved.

[0028] Specifically, the driving mechanism 300 includes a dual-axis motor 301 installed inside the mounting groove 201, and the ends of the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 301 are connected to a connecting shaft 302, and the end of the connecting shaft 302 is connected to a worm 303. A worm gear 304 is installed on the outer surface of the screw 202 near its upper end, and the worm gear 304 is meshed with the worm 303. When the dual-axis motor 301 is started, its two output ends respectively drive the two connecting shafts 302 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 302 drives the worm 303 to rotate. Since the worm 303 and the worm gear 304 are meshed with each other, they can drive the two screws 202 to rotate at the same time, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the lifting plate 104 to rise and fall to fold the bottom plate 101 and the window frame 102.

[0029] Specifically, a sealing plate 400 is installed on the lower surface of the window frame 102, and a rubber pad 401 is provided on the outer surface of the hinged plate 108. When the bottom plate 101 and the window frame 102 are erected and located on the inner side of the frame body 100, there is a certain gap at the hinge between the two, which may cause rainwater to seep into the room when it rains. Therefore, through the arrangement of the sealing plate 400 and the rubber pad 401, when the bottom plate 101 and the window frame 102 are erected, the end of the sealing plate 400 can be pressed on the rubber pad 401 to form a seal, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0030] Specifically, a water blocking groove 500 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the frame body 100, and a plurality of drainage holes 501 are provided inside the water blocking groove 500 along its length. If rainwater still penetrates into the inner side of the frame body 100, the rainwater flows along the bottom of the inner side of the frame body 100 and flows into the water blocking groove 500, and then flows back to the outside through the drainage holes 501, thereby achieving a secondary waterproofing effect and preventing damage to indoor furniture.

[0031] Specifically, a support plate 600 is installed on the outer surface of the frame body 100.
