[0035] The specific structure of an electric ship provided by an embodiment of the utility model and the corresponding technical effects brought about by it are described in detail below with reference to the patent drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 An electric ship 1 provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a hull, a bow deck, a cockpit 100, a fresh water tank 200, and a sewage tank 300. The bow deck is located at the bow of the hull. As can be understood, the bow deck is located at the front end of the hull, the cockpit 100 is located at the uppermost front part of the bow deck, the fresh water tank 200 is located at the uppermost part of the bow deck and on one side of the cockpit 100, and the sewage tank 300 is located at the lowermost part of the bow deck. A living area for personnel is provided between the fresh water tank 200 and the sewage tank 300. The living area for personnel is connected to the fresh water tank 200 via a first preset piping system, and the living area for personnel is connected to the sewage tank 300 via a second preset piping system.

[0037] In some existing electric ships 1, the height of the fresh water tank 200 is the same as or even lower than the height of the personnel living area. Therefore, when the personnel living area needs water, the water in the fresh water tank 200 needs to be transported through equipment, which increases water energy consumption.

[0038] In this embodiment, since the fresh water tank 200 is located at the top of the bow deck, the sewage tank 300 is located at the bottom of the bow deck, and the personnel living area is located between the sewage tank 300 and the fresh water tank 200, when the personnel living area below the fresh water tank 200 needs water, the water in the fresh water tank 200 can be naturally supplied by gravity, providing water source support for the personnel living area and reducing the water supply cost. The used sewage in the personnel living area can also naturally flow downward through the second preset pipeline system under the action of gravity and flow into the sewage tank 300, reducing the sewage discharge cost, thereby reducing the water consumption of the crew.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cockpit 100 is located at the top of the bow deck, close to the bow. This provides operators with a good field of view. This wide field of view allows the operator to easily grasp the ship's direction of travel and surrounding sea conditions from within the cockpit 100. This not only enhances navigation safety but also improves navigation accuracy and response speed.

[0040] Optionally, an arc-shaped curved glass 101 is installed on the front side of the cockpit 100. It can be understood that the arc-shaped curved glass 101 can increase the viewing area of ​​the crew in the cockpit 100. The height of the bottom of the arc-shaped curved glass 101 is less than the height of the bottom of the interior of the cockpit 100, which can further increase the viewing area of ​​the crew in the cockpit 100.

[0041] It should be noted that the cockpit 100 is the operation center of the ship, has an operating system and a monitoring system, and is equipped with at least one of a radar, a GPS, a communication device, and a steering wheel to ensure the safety and accuracy of navigation.

[0042] Moreover, the fresh water tank 200 is located on one side of the cockpit 100. In detail, in the present embodiment, the fresh water tank 200 is located on the rear side of the cockpit 100, which is also convenient for the fresh water tank 200 to deliver water to the cockpit 100. The water delivery path is small, which also reduces the energy consumption of water delivery. Once a special situation occurs in the fresh water tank 200, it is also convenient for the operating crew in the cockpit 100 to reach the fresh water tank 200 in time.

[0043] Of course, in some optional embodiments, the fresh water tank 200 may also be provided with a water supply pipe for supplying water to the cockpit 100 , and the height of the water outlet end of the water supply pipe is higher than the height of the water inlet end of the cockpit 100 .

[0044] Optionally, the personnel living area includes a crew room 400 , which is disposed below the fresh water tank 200 , and the crew room 400 is adjacent to the fresh water tank 200 and the cockpit 100 .

[0045] As will be appreciated, the fresh water tank 200, located above the crew quarters 400, allows for a natural water supply via gravity, reducing reliance on pumping equipment, lowering energy consumption and maintenance costs. A gravity-based water supply system is more stable and reliable, unaffected by power failures or mechanical malfunctions, ensuring a consistent water supply for the crew. Furthermore, gravity-based water supply reduces reliance on pumping equipment, thereby minimizing the noise generated by pumping equipment and other mechanical equipment. This, in turn, reduces the impact of noise and vibration on the crew quarters 400, improving the crew's rest quality and comfort.

[0046] It can be understood that the crew room 400 and the crew activity cabin 500 are close to the cockpit 100, so that the crew can quickly reach the cockpit 100 in an emergency, thereby improving the ability to deal with emergencies.

[0047] A connecting staircase 120 is provided on at least one side of the cockpit 100 in the width direction, and the end of the connecting staircase 120 away from the cockpit 100 is provided on the floor of the crew room 400. Optionally, in this embodiment, a connecting staircase 120 is provided on one side of both sides of the cockpit 100 in the width direction to ensure that the crew can quickly reach the cockpit 100, thereby improving operational efficiency and safety.

[0048] Optionally, the crew living area also includes a crew activity cabin 500, which is arranged below the crew room 400 and above the sewage tank 300. The layered design of the crew room 400 and the crew activity cabin 500 ensures the separation of the crew's private space and public activity space, improving the crew's privacy and comfort.

[0049] Furthermore, since the crew activity cabin 500 is located above the sewage tank 300, it can prevent sewage leakage from contaminating the crew living area, improving sanitary conditions. The sewage tank 300 is located at the bottom, which also facilitates the collection and treatment of sewage, reducing the impact of sewage on other areas.

[0050] In this embodiment, the bow deck is further provided with an equipment storage area, which is located below the bow deck and adjacent to the crew activity cabin 500 and the sewage tank 300 .

[0051] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the equipment storage area and the personnel activity area are set up independently of each other, and the personnel activity area is separated from the area for storing mechanical equipment, which can maintain the cleanliness of the interior of the hull and reduce noise. In addition, the equipment storage area is distributed in a place on the bow deck, which can facilitate the crew to maintain the equipment in the equipment storage area and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0052] The equipment storage area includes a bow tank 600 and an anchor chain locker 700 . The bow tank 600 and the anchor chain locker 700 are located below the bow deck and at the bow of the bow deck. The anchor chain locker 700 is located in front of the crew activity cabin 500 .

[0053] In detail, the forepeak tank 600 is located at the bottom of the bow deck, and the chain locker 700 is located between the forepeak tank 600 and the cockpit 100.

[0054] As can be understood, the forepeak tank 600, being located at the bottom, helps lower the ship's center of gravity, improves the ship's stability, and reduces swaying and pitching during navigation. In the event of a collision or flooding, the forepeak tank 600's location at the bottom can reduce the impact of flooding on the hull and improve the ship's anti-sinking ability.

[0055] The bow tank 600 is located at the bottom, freeing up more space for the deck and cabins above, which can be used to arrange other functional areas, such as the cockpit 100 and the crew cabin 400. The bow tank 600 is typically used to install the bow thruster and other equipment. Placing it at the bottom facilitates equipment installation and maintenance.

[0056] Because the chain locker 700 is located between the bow compartment 600 and the cockpit 100, close to the bow, it facilitates the crew's deployment and retrieval of the anchor chain. The distance between the chain locker 700 and the cockpit 100 reduces the impact of noise and vibration generated by anchor chain operation on the cockpit 100, maintaining a quiet and comfortable cockpit 100.

[0057] Optionally, a separation wall and a door may be provided between the chain compartment 700 and the cockpit 100 to prevent accidental damage to the anchor chain and anchor equipment from affecting the cockpit 100 .

[0058] The equipment storage area also includes a detector cabin 800 and an odometer cabin 900. The detector cabin 800 and the odometer cabin 900 are located below the crew activity cabin 500, that is, the detector cabin 800 and the odometer cabin 900 are located at the bottom of the bow deck.

[0059] In detail, in this embodiment, the detector cabin 800 and the odometer cabin 900 are located at the rear side of the bow tank 600 .

[0060] The depth sounder is installed in the depth sounder compartment to measure the water depth below the ship, ensuring that the ship does not run aground or hit the bottom during navigation. It also provides and records real-time water depth data to help captains and navigators formulate sailing plans and choose safe channels.

[0061] The speed log, installed in speed log compartment 900, measures the vessel's speed, ensuring it maintains an appropriate speed during navigation. It provides and records real-time speed data, helping the captain and navigator develop sailing plans and adjust speed to save fuel and time.

[0062] Because the depth sounder and speed log compartments 900 are located at the bottom of the deck, they are away from machinery and equipment, reducing noise and interference and improving measurement accuracy. Their location allows for close integration with the hull's bottom structure, enhancing the overall structural strength of the hull. Furthermore, their location facilitates the installation of the depth sounder and speed log sensors and cables.

[0063] Optionally, water quality monitoring equipment and capacity detection equipment are provided in the fresh water tank 200. The water quality monitoring equipment is used to detect the water quality of the fresh water contained in the fresh water tank 200, and the capacity detection equipment is used to detect the capacity of the fresh water contained in the fresh water tank 200. The water quality monitoring equipment and the capacity detection equipment are both communicated with the monitoring equipment in the cockpit 100, so that the crew can timely detect the water quality and capacity in the fresh water tank 200.

[0064] Optionally, the above-mentioned second preset pipeline system includes a connected drainage system, a filtering device and a sewage pumping system. The personnel living area sends sewage into the sewage tank 300 through the drainage system. A filtering device is installed in the drainage system, and some fixed impurities can be filtered out of the sewage tank 300 through the filtering device. The sewage pumping system is used to discharge the sewage in the sewage tank 300 out of the ship.

[0065] In summary, the electric vessel 1 provided by the present invention includes a hull, a bow deck, a cockpit 100, a fresh water tank 200, and a sewage tank 300. The bow deck is located at the bow of the hull. As will be understood, the bow deck is located at the front end of the hull. The cockpit 100 is located at the uppermost front portion of the bow deck. The fresh water tank 200 is located at the uppermost portion of the bow deck and to one side of the cockpit 100. The sewage tank 300 is located at the lowermost portion of the bow deck. A living area is provided between the fresh water tank 200 and the sewage tank 300. The living area is connected to the fresh water tank 200 via a first preset piping system, and the living area is connected to the sewage tank 300 via a second preset piping system. The water in the fresh water tank 200 can be naturally supplied by gravity, providing a water source for the living area and reducing water supply costs. Used sewage in the living area can also naturally flow downward through the second preset piping system and into the sewage tank 300 under the action of gravity, reducing sewage discharge costs and thereby reducing water consumption by the crew.

[0066] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
