TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of paddle, especially to a light-weight ship paddle paddle. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ship paddle is a tool for manually propelling the ship forward. It is usually composed of a long handle and a flat end (i.e. the paddle). The user inserts the paddle into the water and applies force, causing the water to generate a reaction force on the paddle, thereby propelling the ship to move. The paddle is a part of the ship paddle, specifically the part that directly contacts the water and is responsible for generating the propulsive force. Its design is crucial for the speed, stability, and maneuverability of the ship.
[0003] As one of the power sources for racing boats and kayaks, having a light and high-strength paddle is a key factor in winning the race. Current paddles are generally made of plastic material. Although they have certain strength and durability, they still have many shortcomings, such as being heavy, easily corroded, easily deformed, and even broken. Moreover, current paddles do not have the feature of floating on water. If the user accidentally drops the paddle into the water during use, the paddle will quickly sink, greatly increasing the difficulty of retrieving the paddle, especially in open water or deep water, which can cause economic losses.
[0004] To address the above problems, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: the paddle main body is provided with a shaft connecting component, the shaft connecting component is provided with a shaft insertion hole, the shaft connecting component is integrally formed with the paddle main body, and the cavity is formed to include the part of the shaft connecting component.
[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: the material of the buoyancy material layer is polyurethane foam.
[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the thickness of the buoyancy material layer is 3.3 mm, the paddle main body forms a double-layer structure through the cavity, and the single-layer thickness of the paddle main body is 0.8 mm.
[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: the paddle main body is designed as a whole curve.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical scheme are that: the paddle body is made of carbon fiber material, and is formed by stacking multiple layers of carbon fiber prepreg and curing through a hot pressing process, so as to form a paddle body with high strength and light weight; the paddle body is formed with a cavity when hot-pressed by a mold; and the cavity is filled with a buoyancy material layer made of polyurethane foam, so that the entire paddle body can float on the water surface after falling into the water without sinking, thereby making the paddle body have the characteristics of light weight, high strength and floatability, which not only makes the user feel more comfortable and efficient when using the paddle, but also reduces the risk of deformation and breakage and prolongs the service life.
[0012] After multiple buoyancy tests, the thickness of the paddle body (carbon fiber) is adjusted to 0.8 mm, and the thickness of the buoyancy material layer (polyurethane foam) is adjusted to 3.3 mm, so that the oar and the paddle body can float on the water after being assembled, and the strength of the paddle body can meet the requirements, so that by adjusting the proportion of the paddle body and the buoyancy material layer, the buoyancy of the oar can be accurately controlled, so that the oar can reach an ideal balance state in the water, neither sinking too much nor floating too much, so as to avoid the situation that the resistance of the paddle body cutting into the water surface becomes larger when the user uses it.
[0013] After the oar and the paddle body are assembled, the integrally formed oar connecting part and the paddle body can improve the overall strength, thereby ensuring that the oar connecting part and the paddle body will not be separated when the user uses them; at the same time, the oar connecting part also has a buoyancy material layer inside, which can ensure that the buoyancy of the paddle body is not affected.
