Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water transportation technology, and in particular to a small electric sightseeing yacht. Background Technology

[0002] my country boasts abundant inland river and lake resources, with a dense network of rivers. With the popularization of leisure and vacation demand, the inland river and lake tourism industry is booming. Protecting water resources and creating a good ecological environment are important prerequisites for tourism development. Fuel-fired boats cause pollution and noise and are gradually being replaced by new energy boats. Electric boats have advantages such as low energy consumption, low cost, and green environmental protection, and are one of the cutting-edge development directions of the shipbuilding industry. Electric sightseeing yachts are equipped with power batteries and adopt a pure electric propulsion method.

[0003] Waves are a type of undulation phenomenon in water. They are periodic undulations caused by the influence of wind or other external forces on water. When a ship is sailing on water, it is affected by waves, which causes the ship to sway from side to side. Waves form crests and troughs on the water surface, which cause the ship to sway from side to side. Therefore, the ship cannot utilize the impact of waves on the ship during the operation of an electric sightseeing yacht.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a small electric sightseeing yacht to meet the demand. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology and to propose a small electric sightseeing yacht.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A small electric sightseeing yacht includes: a hull, a support frame, a sunshade, a generator, a gearbox, a power battery, a mounting base, a turbine casing, a diagonal-flow runner, and a main shaft. Support frames are installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the hull, and a sunshade is installed on the outer side of the support frames. A generator is installed inside the engine room of the hull, and a gearbox is installed on the side of the generator. A power battery is installed on the side of the generator inside the engine room of the hull. A mounting base is installed on the side of the hull, and a turbine casing is installed inside the mounting base. A water inlet is provided on the side of the turbine casing, and a water outlet is provided on the front of the turbine casing. A diagonal-flow runner is installed inside the turbine casing, and a main shaft is installed at the shaft end of the diagonal-flow runner.

[0008] Preferably, there are two sets of fixed seats and turbine housings, and the two sets of fixed seats and turbine housings are located on the left and right sides of the hull, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting base and turbine housing are located at the stern of the hull, and the mounting base and turbine housing are located at the upper end of the propeller side of the hull.

[0010] Preferably, the water inlet is provided in two sets, and the two sets of water inlets are located on the left and right sides of the turbine casing, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the main shaft extends laterally through the inner wall of the hull into the engine room, and is connected to the gearbox via a coupling.

[0012] Preferably, the shaft at the other end of the gearbox is connected to the generator via a coupling, and the main shaft, gearbox, and generator are on the same axis.

[0013] Preferably, the generator is electrically connected to the power battery via wires.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the above scheme, by setting up a kinetic energy recovery system, the energy generated by the impact of water waves on the yacht during operation can be converted into electrical energy and stored. When water waves on the side of the hull impact the turbine casing, water flows in from the side inlet. The power of the water flow causes the diagonal flow turbine to rotate. The rotation of the diagonal flow turbine drives the generator rotor to rotate through mechanical transmission devices such as the main shaft and gearbox, thereby generating electrical energy in the generator. The electrical energy generated by the generator can be stored in the power battery and then used again when acceleration is needed, thereby extending the driving distance after a single charge and improving the yacht's endurance. This greatly improves the overall energy efficiency of the yacht and reduces energy waste.

[0016] In the above scheme, the fixed base and turbine casing are located at the stern of the hull, and the fixed base and turbine casing are located at the upper end of the propeller side of the hull. The yacht rotates in the water through the propeller blades, converting the mechanical energy of the engine into propulsion to propel the yacht forward. When the propeller at the stern rotates, it can displace water outward, thereby causing water waves to surge at the turbine casing located at the upper end of the propeller side. The propeller's work can be used to recover kinetic energy, making the kinetic energy recovery more stable. Attached Figure Description

The generator 4 is installed inside the engine room of the hull 1, and the gearbox 5 is installed on the side of the generator 4. The power battery 6 is installed on the side of the generator 4 inside the engine room of the hull 1. The mounting base 7 is installed on the side of the hull 1, and the turbine housing 8 is installed inside the mounting base 7.

The propeller's work can be used to recover kinetic energy, making the kinetic energy recovery more stable.

[0029] In this embodiment, two sets of water inlets 801 are provided, and the two sets of water inlets 801 are located on the left and right sides of the turbine casing 8, respectively.
