AI Technical Summary
The sails rise excessively under the impact of high-speed water flow, resulting in insufficient drag-increasing capacity.
Several closed ropes are added to the lower counterweight of the sail assembly to form a J-shaped streamlined structure. Under the constraint of the closed ropes, the main body of the canvas forms a directional opening feature with the opening end facing the stern plate, ensuring that the height of the opening section of the J-shaped structure is not less than half of the total length of the canvas when unfolded.
It increases the resistance of the sail assembly, enhances the stability and resistance of the water flow, and reduces the difficulty of retracting the sail assembly.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to ship brake technology field especially a sail group structure improvement design for ship brake. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing ship brake device (such as invention patent CN202210781257.X) realizes resistance braking through the combination of sailcloth and counterweight block, but the sail group is excessively lifted under the impact of high-speed water flow, and then the sail group's resistance increasing ability is insufficient, and the resistance increasing effect is reduced. Therefore, the sail group structure needs to be optimized to improve the resistance increasing ability. SUMMARY
[0003] The utility model solves the technical problems that the sail group is excessively lifted under the impact of high-speed water flow, and then the sail group's resistance increasing ability is insufficient.
[0004] The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0005] A closed structure's ship brake sail group (1) comprising sailcloth (2), counterweight block (3) and traction rope (5), characterized in that:
[0006] The sail group (1) is additionally provided with a plurality of closed ropes (6) on the lower counterweight block (3), and the length of the closed rope (6) is less than the length of the sailcloth (2) in the vertical direction.
[0007] The lower end of the closed rope (6) is connected with the counterweight block (3), and the upper end is connected with the connecting belt (7) in the opposite position after passing through the main flow-encountering surface of the sailcloth (2).
[0008] The vertical section of the sailcloth (2) forms a J-shaped streamline structure with a directional opening feature under the constraint of the closed rope (6), and the opening end of the J-shaped structure is arranged towards the stern bulkhead direction.
[0009] The vertical height H of the opening section of the J-shaped structure satisfies H≥1 / 2L, wherein L is the total length of the sailcloth (2) in the vertical direction.
[0010] The utility model has the advantages of:
[0011] The J-shaped flow channel structure formed by the closed rope can reduce the insufficient braking force caused by the lifting of the sail group in water. The water flow in the sail group is turned by 90 degrees, and the resistance is significantly increased.
[0012] The directional opening structure makes the fluid produce directional deflection and forms additional pressure difference.
[0013] When the sail group is retracted, the water flow can flow out from both sides, reducing the difficulty of retracting the sail group. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
