Ship brake sail set with inner pocket structure
By adding an inner pocket structure to the lower inner side of the canvas, the problem of insufficient drag-increasing capacity caused by water flow impact deformation when the canvas is unfolded at a large angle is solved, thereby enhancing drag at large angles and simplifying the process of retracting the sail.

AI Technical Summary
Existing ship braking devices are prone to deformation of the canvas due to water flow impact when deployed at large angles, resulting in a decrease in drag-increasing effect.
An inner pocket structure is added to the lower inner side of the canvas. The inner pocket is a downward-concave bag shape with the opening facing upward. The bottom is sewn to the canvas. The length of the inner pocket is 10%-20% of the height of the canvas, and the width is the same as the width of the lower end of the canvas, forming a local vortex to increase drag.
When deployed at a large angle, it increases resistance. The inner pocket traps more water flow, forming a local vortex that significantly increases resistance. When retracted, the water flow is discharged through the holes at the bottom of the canvas side, reducing the difficulty of retraction.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine braking technology, and in particular to an improved design of a sail assembly structure for marine braking. Background Technology
[0002] Existing ship braking devices (such as invention patent CN202210781257.X) achieve drag braking through a combination of canvas and counterweights. However, when the sail is deployed at a large angle, the canvas is easily deformed by the impact of the water flow, resulting in a decrease in drag-increasing effect. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the canvas structure to improve stability and drag-increasing capacity at large angles. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to solve the problem of insufficient drag-increasing capacity of canvas caused by water flow impact deformation when the canvas is unfolded at a large angle.
[0004] The technical solution provided by this utility model is:
[0005] A ship brake sail assembly (1) with an inner pocket structure includes a canvas (2), a counterweight (3), and a towing rope (5);
[0006] An inner pocket structure is added to the lower inner side of the canvas to increase resistance by trapping water flow.
[0007] The inner pocket is a bag-shaped structure formed by a downward indentation, with its opening facing upward and its bottom sewn to the canvas for fixation.
[0008] The canvas has holes at the bottom side;
[0009] After being sewn and fixed, the length of the inner pocket is 10%-20% of the height of the canvas, and the width is the same as the width of the lower end of the canvas.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. Enhanced drag resistance: When the inner wick is deployed at a large angle, it can trap more water flow, forming local eddies and significantly increasing drag.
[0012] 2. Easy to retract the sails: The holes at the bottom side of the canvas allow water to flow out of the inner pocket when the sails are retracted, reducing the difficulty of retracting the sails. Attached image description:

[0017] 1. Inner pocket making:
[0018] If the canvas of the canvas assembly is rectangular: cut a rectangular inner pocket fabric, the length of which is 25% of the height of the canvas, and the width of which is 10% wider than the canvas; sew the bottom edge of the inner pocket fabric to the bottom end of the canvas and sew the left and right sides of the inner pocket fabric to the left and right sides of the canvas to form a rectangular inner pocket.
[0019] If the canvas of the canvas assembly is trapezoidal: cut a trapezoidal inner pocket fabric, the length of which is 25% of the height of the canvas, and the width of the left and right sides of the inner pocket fabric is 10% wider than the canvas; sew the bottom edge of the inner pocket fabric to the bottom end of the canvas and sew the left and right sides of the inner pocket fabric to the left and right sides of the canvas to form a trapezoidal inner pocket.
[0020] Inner pocket shape:
[0021] The inner pocket shape can be made into rectangular, trapezoidal or other variations.
[0022] 3. Installation method:
[0023] The inner pocket is integrated with the inside of the canvas, and the opening faces upward when unfolded.
