Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ships, in particular to a hull balancing device. Background Art

[0002] A ship, also known as a vessel, is a means of transportation that uses the buoyancy of water and relies on human power, sails, engines, and other power sources to move on water. There are many types of ships and they can be classified according to different standards.

[0003] However, traditional civilian ships, sightseeing cruise ships and other small boats in lakes have relatively weak stability, and their balance state is easily affected by water fluctuations. In windy weather, or when large ships, yachts and motorboats pass through the same waters, the water fluctuations are large and the hull shakes severely, which may cause dangerous situations such as the hull capsizing.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a hull balancing device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to solve the shortcomings existing in the prior art, and a hull balancing device is proposed. By rotating the rotating rod and rotating the fixing block to make it fit tightly with the clamping groove, the airbags filled with air are fixed on both sides of the balance box, which can increase the contact area with the water surface, increase the buoyancy of the balancing device, improve the balancing performance of the balance box on the hull, and enable the hull to remain stable on the water surface for a long time. In addition, this clamping design facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the airbags, which means that when the airbags are damaged or require maintenance, they can be replaced quickly without the need for complicated operating procedures.

[0006] The cam is connected to the cam frame by a fixing mechanism, and the fixing mechanism comprises a fixing mechanism comprising a mounting plate, wherein the middle portion of the front end of the mounting plate is connected to the main shaft, the inner walls of the main shaft axial ends are slidably connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the balancing box on one side away from the center of the mounting plate, and a fixing mechanism is provided on both outer walls of the balancing box. The fixing mechanism comprises two base plates, two first fixing rings and two second fixing rings, the outer wall of the base plate on the side away from the center of the balancing box is fixedly connected to the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring is rotatably connected respectively, the middle portion of the upper surface of the first fixing ring is provided with a receiving groove, the outer wall of the first fixing ring on the side close to the center of the balancing box is provided with a clamping groove, the middle portion of the upper surface of the second fixing ring is provided with a mounting groove, the inner portion of the mounting groove is rotatably connected to the rotating rod, and the upper end of the outer wall of the rotating rod is threadedly connected to the fixing block;

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the distance between the balance box and the hull is adjusted by sliding the connecting rod inside the main shaft. It is suitable for ships of different sizes and rivers of different widths. The arc groove design at the bottom of the balance box can effectively adapt to changes in wavy water surface. On wavy water surface, the arc groove can help water flow smoothly, reducing the resistance of water flow to the hull, thereby reducing the impact of waves on the hull and improving the stability and seaworthiness of the ship. The setting of multiple non-powered paddles can use the power of water flow to push the hull forward and assist the hull to glide forward, thereby reducing fuel consumption to a certain extent.

[0008] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided in the middle of the lower surface of the balance box, and a plurality of non-powered paddles are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the arc-shaped groove;

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the arc-shaped groove design helps to guide the fluid to flow more efficiently under the box, reduce eddies and turbulence, and thus reduce resistance. The unpowered paddle blades will generate a reaction force when the fluid flows, assisting the hull in gliding.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer walls of both ends of the main shaft are provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the main shaft and the connecting rod are connected by fastening bolts;

[0011] Through the above technical solution, multiple mounting holes allow the position of the connecting rod to be adjusted, thereby achieving flexible adjustment of the distance between the balance box and the hull.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving slot and the clamping slot are both connected through each other;

[0013] The above technical solution makes it easier to rotate the rotating rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the interior of the balance box is a hollow structure, and the outer surface of the balance box is sprayed with corrosion-resistant paint;

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the corrosion-resistant coating sprayed on the outer surface can effectively prevent the erosion of the balance box by lake water and other corrosive substances, which extends the service life of the balance box and reduces the maintenance and replacement costs caused by corrosion.

[0016] Furthermore, the first fixing ring and the second fixing ring are respectively tightly fitted to the airbag;

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the airbags are firmly fixed on both sides of the balance box.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixing block and the receiving groove are respectively tightly fitted;

[0019] Through the above technical solution, when the fixing block is rotated so as to fit tightly with the accommodating groove, clamping is achieved.

[0020] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

On wavy water surfaces, the arc-shaped groove can help water flow through smoothly, reducing the resistance of water flow to the hull, thereby reducing the impact of waves on the hull and improving the stability and seaworthiness of the ship. The setting of multiple non-powered paddles can use the power of the water flow to push the hull forward and assist the hull in sliding forward, thereby reducing fuel consumption to a certain extent.

In addition, this clamping design facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the airbag, which means that when the airbag is damaged or requires maintenance, it can be quickly replaced without the need for complicated operating procedures.

[0033] Reference Figure 3-6, an arc-shaped groove 107 is opened in the middle of the lower surface of the balance box 106, and a plurality of unpowered paddles 108 are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the arc-shaped groove 107, which slide inside the main shaft 102 through the connecting rod 104 to adjust the distance between the balance box 106 and the hull, which is suitable for ships of different sizes and rivers of different widths. The arc-shaped groove 107 design at the bottom of the balance box 106 can effectively adapt to changes in wavy water surface.
