Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship drag reduction technology, specifically a split-type water skid ship drag reduction device. Background Technology
[0002] As a key tool for water transportation, ships play an indispensable role in many fields such as global trade and marine resource development. However, ships are affected by various resistances when sailing in water. These resistances not only consume a lot of energy and increase operating costs, but also reduce the ship's speed and efficiency, limiting the ship's performance.
[0003] Most existing ship drag reduction devices have a fixed height. When the ship's load changes, the draft changes, and the fixed-height drag reduction device cannot adjust its height accordingly. This makes it difficult for the drag reduction components to be in the optimal position, thus making it difficult to effectively play the drag reduction role and reducing the working efficiency of the device.
[0004] Therefore, we have made technical improvements to the existing drag reduction device to meet the requirements of a split-type skid-mounted vessel drag reduction device with adjustable height. Utility Model Content

[0034] A drive mechanism I is fixed on the slide plate 2 to allow the sliding box 5 to move in the direction directly opposite to the wind choke box 3. The drive mechanism I includes:
[0035] Two slides 6, which are square slides 6, are located on both sides of the drag reduction mechanism and are symmetrically fixed on the top surface of the slide plate 2;
[0036] Two ball screws I (not shown in the figure), one ball screw I is rotatably installed in each of the slides 6, and the outer wall of the nut on the ball screw I is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding box 5;

It can be a servo motor. It is connected to the end of the ball screw I through a coupling to provide rotational force to the ball screw I and adjust the distance between the sliding box 5 and the wind choke box 3.
[0038] The distance between the sliding box 5 and the wind choke box 3 can be adjusted by the drive mechanism I, thereby flexibly adjusting the relative position of the wind choke box 3 and the sliding box 5 according to the wind direction and wind speed when the ship is sailing, changing the airflow distribution around the ship, and effectively reducing air resistance.
[0039] A mounting frame 9 is also slidably installed on the slide plate 2. The mounting frame 9 is formed into a roughly square frame. A vertical telescopic mechanism 10 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 9. The vertical telescopic mechanism 10 can be a telescopic electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. A pair of vertical telescopic mechanisms 10 are arranged at intervals. A connecting frame 11 is installed on the telescopic end of the vertical telescopic mechanism 10. The connecting frame 11 is formed into a roughly square frame. A drag-reducing roller 12 is rotatably installed on the connecting frame 11.
[0040] In order to adjust the horizontal position of the drag-reducing roller 12, we also include a drive mechanism II for moving the drive mounting bracket 9, which includes:
[0041] A pair of mounting slots 13 are located on both sides of the drag reduction mechanism and are symmetrically opened on the top surface of the slide plate 2;
[0042] Two ball screws II14 are rotatably installed in each of the mounting slots 13, and the bottom of the mounting bracket 9 is sleeved on the nut provided on the ball screw II14.
[0043] Rotary power mechanism II (not shown in the figure) can be a servo motor, which can be installed on the top surface of the slide plate 2. Its specific installation position can be selected according to the usage requirements. It is connected to the end of the ball screw II 14 through a coupling to provide rotational force to the ball screw II 14 and adjust the position of the drag-reducing roller 12.
[0044] The two ends of the resistance-reducing roller 12 are fixedly provided with mounting shafts 16. The mounting shafts 16 are cylindrical shafts.

The wind-blocking holes 7 can be round holes.
[0046] The operating principle of the split-type water skid-type ship drag reduction device in Example 1 is as follows:
[0047] (1) Initial state adjustment: Before the ship sets sail, according to the load, speed and meteorological data, the ball screw I is driven to rotate by the rotational power mechanism I of the drive mechanism I, so that the sliding box 5 faces or moves away from the wind choke box 3, so that the distance between the two reaches the ideal distance. At the same time, the rotational power mechanism II of the drive mechanism II drives the ball screw II 14 to rotate, so that the mounting frame 9 moves along the slide plate 2, so that the drag-reducing roller 12 is horizontally positioned to the best position on the windward side. The adjustment law can be obtained from the test, and the specific adjustment method will not be described here. Then, the height of the drag-reducing roller 12 is adjusted by the vertical telescopic mechanism 10 to ensure its optimal match with the ship deck and wind field. The specific adjustment logic can be selected according to the usage requirements.
[0048] (2) Dynamic drag reduction during navigation: When the ship’s speed or wind direction changes, the drive mechanism I can adjust the position of the sliding box 5 in real time, change the airflow distribution between the wind choke box 3 and the sliding box 5, guide the airflow to pass smoothly, and reduce turbulence and pressure drag.
[0049] (3) The drag-reducing roller 12 rotates actively: The rotating power mechanism Ⅲ15 drives the drag-reducing roller 12 to rotate at a set speed, so that the wind receiving plate 8 and the wind choke hole 7 work together to convert sliding friction into rolling friction, reducing wind resistance friction loss by more than 40%. When the wind receiving plate 8 rotates, it cuts the airflow and forms a controllable vortex, which further destroys the boundary layer separation. The wind choke hole 7 refines the airflow structure through micro-turbulence and suppresses the generation of large-scale vortices.
