[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation equipment, and in particular to a multifunctional navigation aid device. Background technology:

[0002] In maritime navigation, navigational aids are crucial, guiding ships, locating them, and marking obstacles. However, due to the complexity of the maritime environment and the diversity of weather conditions, navigational aids may shift or capsize, leading to navigational errors and safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of navigational aid to solve these problems. Utility model content:

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional navigation aid that can not only withstand sea waves but also automatically return to its original position when it deviates from its intended location. It includes a navigation aid assembly, a floatation assembly, and a power assembly.

[0004] The duckweed assembly includes a cabin, a duckweed component, and a counterweight. The duckweed component is movably connected to the periphery of the cabin, and the counterweight is connected to the bottom of the cabin.

[0005] The navigation aid assembly is located on the top of the cabin;

[0007] Furthermore, the duckweed assembly includes a first duckweed leaf and a second duckweed leaf;

[0008] There are two first duckweed blades, and the two first duckweed blades are symmetrically arranged relative to the cabin body;

[0009] There are two second duckweed leaves, which are respectively located on both sides of the first duckweed leaf and are symmetrical with respect to the cabin body.

[0010] Furthermore, the first duckweed blade and the second duckweed blade are connected to the cabin via a universal joint.

[0011] Furthermore, the first duckweed leaf has notches on both sides to avoid the second duckweed leaf.

[0012] Furthermore, the navigation aid assembly includes a fan, a light shield, a navigation light, and a support frame;

[0013] The support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the cabin, the fan is connected to the top of the support frame, the navigation light is located below the fan and connected to the support frame, and the light shield is located beside the navigation light and is powered by the fan.

[0014] Furthermore, the powertrain includes a propeller, a duct, and a water inlet channel;

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] This invention utilizes floating components mounted around the perimeter of the hull to counteract wave impacts from all directions, providing excellent stability and anti-overturning properties. Furthermore, the floating components are movably connected to the hull; when impacted by waves, the floating components absorb kinetic energy through their own oscillation, thus preventing significant positional deviations of the hull. Additionally, a power unit is located beneath the hull; if the hull deviates from its position, the powertrain can generate thrust to reposition it. Attached image description:

Detailed implementation method:

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a multi-functional navigation aid device, including a navigation aid assembly 2, a floating assembly 1, and a power assembly 3. The floating assembly 1 includes a cabin 11, a floating component 12, and a counterweight 13. The floating component 12 is movably connected to the periphery of the cabin 11, and the counterweight 13 is connected to the bottom of the cabin 11 through a connecting rod 14. The navigation aid assembly 2 is located on the top of the cabin 11, and the power assembly 3 is located inside the cabin 11.

[0032] This embodiment of the invention utilizes floating components 12 arranged around the perimeter of the cabin 11 to counteract the impact of waves from all directions, exhibiting excellent stability and anti-overturning properties. Furthermore, the floating components 12 are movably connected to the cabin 11; when impacted by waves, the floating components 12 can absorb kinetic energy through their own oscillation, thereby preventing significant positional deviations of the cabin 11. Additionally, a power assembly 3 is installed within the cabin 11; if the cabin 11 experiences positional deviations, the power assembly 3 can generate thrust to reposition it.

[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the duckweed assembly 12 includes two types of fan-shaped blades: a first duckweed blade 121 and a second duckweed blade 122. There are two first duckweed blades 121, each with a relatively large diameter, symmetrically arranged relative to the hull 11. There are also two second duckweed blades 122, each with a smaller diameter than the first duckweed blades 121, and they are respectively located on either side of the first duckweed blades 121. The difference in size between the first and second duckweed blades 121 is because the ability of duckweed to absorb wave kinetic energy is primarily determined by its width. If all four blades were made to the same size, the width of a single duckweed blade would be limited without changing the diameter. Increasing the diameter would require making the entire duckweed assembly larger, thus increasing manufacturing costs. Therefore, as... Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the diameter of the second duckweed blade 122 is made smaller, but its width is made as large as possible, so that it overlaps with the first duckweed blade 121. At the same time, notches are provided on both sides of the first duckweed blade 121 to avoid the second duckweed blade 122. Furthermore, in order to better realize the swinging of the duckweed blades, the first duckweed blade 121 and the second duckweed blade 122 are connected to the cabin via universal joints.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the navigation aid assembly 2 includes a fan 21, a light shield 22, a navigation light 23, and a support frame 24. The support frame 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabin 11, the fan 21 is connected to the top of the support frame 24, the navigation light 23 is located below the fan 21 and connected to the support frame 24, and the light shield 22 is located beside the navigation light 23 and is powered by the fan 21. Specifically, in practical applications, the sea breeze blows the fan 21, thereby causing the light shield 22 to rotate around the navigation light 23, periodically blocking the light and creating an effect similar to a flashing alarm, thus serving as a reminder. Simultaneously, as the wind strengthens, its flashing frequency increases, further reminding seafarers of wind conditions. The overall structure is simple, requiring no various sensors to transmit sea conditions to distant seafarers, resulting in higher reliability and lower manufacturing costs. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a generator can be connected in series with the fan 21 to power the entire unit, ensuring strong sustainability.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the powertrain 3 includes a thruster 31, a duct 32, and a water inlet channel 33. The water inlet channel 33 is vertically located at the bottom of the hull 11, while the ducts 32 are horizontally located around the hull 11 and connected to the water inlet channel 33. The thruster 21 is installed at the outlet of each duct 32. Compared to traditional propeller propulsion, the use of ducts 32 is more suitable for fine-tuning the position of navigation aids. Furthermore, the ducts 32 are arranged around the hull 11, facing various directions, allowing for selective activation based on actual conditions, which is very convenient. To ensure proper positioning, this embodiment has at least four ducts 32, each corresponding to at least the front, rear, left, and right directions of the hull.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, unlike the barrel-shaped cabin of existing navigation aid devices, the cabin 11 of this embodiment is preferably spherical. The spherical cabin 11 integrates better with the floating assembly 12 and provides greater stability. Furthermore, the cabin 11 also has a sealed cavity to further enhance the buoyancy of the navigation aid device.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
