Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water transportation technology, and in particular to a yacht with adjustable buoyancy. Background Technology

[0002] Yachts are a high-end water transportation tool, often used for leisure, entertainment, sightseeing, and business operations in parks and tourist attractions;

[0003] In actual use, the following shortcomings have been found in existing yachts:

[0004] The existing yachts in parks and tourist attractions are usually equipped with different seating for tourists to use. However, in actual use, most yachts are not fully occupied. Because the buoyancy and stability of the boat are different when it is fully loaded and empty, when fully loaded, it is necessary to maintain sufficient buoyancy to support the weight of the tourists. However, when empty or lightly loaded, the yacht loses its balance in front and behind or left and right, which leads to the instability of the hull's stability and restoring torque. This makes it unable to quickly return to a balanced state after being disturbed by external forces. This is not conducive to preventing the boat from capsizing or excessively rocking in wind and waves.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a buoyancy-adjustable yacht to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology by proposing a buoyancy-adjustable yacht.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A buoyancy-adjustable yacht includes: a hull, a mounting frame, a canopy, a mounting base, a support, a float, a first connecting base, a second connecting base, a support, a winding drum, a crank, and a cable. The mounting frame is installed at the upper end of the hull, and the canopy is installed at the upper end of the mounting frame. The mounting base is installed at the lower end of the side of the hull, and the support is installed at the other end of the mounting base. The float is installed at the other end of the support, and the first connecting base is installed on the surface of the float. The second connecting base is installed on the surface of the float next to the first connecting base. The support is installed at the upper inner end of the hull, and the winding drum is installed on the inner side of the support. The crank is installed on the outer side of the support, and the cable is wound around the winding drum.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed seat is movably connected to the bracket via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bracket is connected to the first connecting seat of the floating plate via a rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the support is inclined, and the floats are installed laterally on the left and right sides of the hull via the support.

[0011] Preferably, the float is located on the side of the hull and extends laterally to the outer end of the side of the hull.

[0012] Preferably, the float is made of plastic and has an overall arc shape, with the outer perimeter of the float being arc-shaped and the inner perimeter of the float being "V"-shaped.

[0013] Preferably, the support is located at the edge of the hull, and the winding drum is movably connected to the support via a shaft seat.

[0014] Preferably, the crank handle is connected to the shaft of the winding drum, and the other end of the cable is secured to the second connecting seat by a rope buckle.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the above scheme, floats are installed on the left and right sides of the hull via brackets. By cranking the handle, the winding drum can be rotated to raise and lower the cables. At the upper outer side of the float, the cables can be released or pulled to control the raising and lowering of the float. The floats can be adjusted from both sides of the hull to increase the cross-sectional area. In turn, the buoyancy can be adjusted by controlling the volume of water displaced by the entire vessel. By raising and lowering the floats, the contact area between the hull and the water can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the buoyancy of the vessel. This allows for easy adaptation to different navigation conditions and load conditions, ensuring that the vessel can navigate safely and stably.

[0017] In the above scheme, by setting the inner circumference of the float to be "V" shaped, the float made of plastic material can float on the water surface. The outer arc shape of the float can reduce the resistance to outward drainage in the water. When the float is retracted upward, the inner circumference of the float comes into contact with the water. The small contact area between the inner circumference and the water due to the "V" shape can reduce the impact on the speed of the boat. Attached Figure Description

The fixing frame 2 is installed at the upper end of the hull 1, and the canopy 3 is installed at the upper end of the fixing frame 2. The fixing seat 4 is installed at the lower end of the side of the hull 1. The support 5 is installed at the other end of the fixing seat 4, and the float 6 is installed at the other end of the support 5. The first connecting seat 7 is installed on the surface of the float 6, and the second connecting seat 8 is installed on the surface of the float 6 on the side of the first connecting seat 7. The support 9 is installed at the upper inner end of the hull 1, the winding drum 10 is installed on the inner side of the support 9, and the crank 11 is installed on the outer side of the support 9.
