It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are not intended to limit the specific implementation of the technical solution of this utility model, but are merely possible implementations of the technical solution of this utility model. It should be noted that the descriptions of the positional relationships of the components herein, such as component A being located above component B, are based on the relative positions of the components in the illustrations and are not intended to limit the actual positional relationships of the components. Example 1
[0030] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a protective support device for sail transport according to Embodiment 1 is shown. As shown in the figure, the protective support device for sail transport according to Embodiment 1 includes a support base 2 and a protective layer 3. A protective layer 3 is disposed on the support base 2, and the sail body 1 is disposed on top of the protective layer 3.
[0031] The support base 2 includes two symmetrically inclined support legs 2.1. The top of the support leg 2.1 is an arc shape that fits the sail body 1. The width of the support leg 2.1 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The lower part of the support leg 2.1 is inclined outward with an inclination angle of 0~60°. A connecting beam 2.2 is provided between the lower parts of the two support legs 2.1 to form an I-beam support structure, which improves the stability of the support.
[0032] The protective layer 3 is a wooden block sawtooth protective layer. The protective layer 3 is an arc shape that fits the elliptical shape of the sail body 1. It plays a dual role in positioning and protecting the sail body 1, preventing the entire device from rolling due to the shift of the center of gravity of the two opposite-shaped devices during the storage process. Example 2
[0033] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a protective support device for sail transport according to Embodiment 2 is shown. As shown in the figure, the protective support device for sail transport involved in Embodiment 2 differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:
[0034] The support base 2 is composed of multiple independent adjustable lifting support units 2.3. Each adjustable lifting support unit 2.3 includes an arc-shaped pad 2.4, a lifting support rod 2.5, and a hinge 2.6. The output end of the lifting support rod 2.5 is connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped pad 2.4 through the hinge 2.6. The arc-shaped pad 2.4 is designed with different arc segments according to the bottom arc shape of the sail body 1, matching the surface shape of the sail body 1, so as to fit tightly against the sail body 1. The lifting height of the lifting support rod 2.5 can be precisely adjusted according to the actual size of the sail body 1. The arc-shaped pad 2.4 can be made of a material with high elasticity and high coefficient of friction, which can further enhance the friction between the sail and the support device and improve stability.
[0035] Multiple adjustable lifting support units 2.3 form multiple adjustable positioning support points below the sail body 1. These support points can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the sail equipment to ensure that the sail can fit tightly with the support device when it is placed, thereby effectively preventing the sail from shifting due to the center of gravity.
[0036] A buffer and shock-absorbing component 4 is provided above the arc-shaped pad 2.4 of the support base 2, replacing the protective layer 3. The buffer and shock-absorbing component 4 includes a rubber pad layer 4.1, a spring damping layer 4.2, and an air cushion layer 4.3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. It can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force and vibration energy of the sail during transportation, reduce the collision and friction between the sail and the support device, reduce the risk of damage to the sail equipment, and improve the safety of the sail during transportation.
[0037] The arc-shaped liner 2.4 is equipped with a pressure sensor for real-time monitoring of key parameters such as displacement, tilt angle, and vibration amplitude of the sail during transport. The pressure sensor transmits the collected data to a central control unit, which analyzes and processes the data in real time. When the monitored parameters exceed a preset safety threshold, the central control unit immediately issues an alarm signal to remind operators to take timely measures to prevent accidents. Furthermore, the central control unit can also transmit monitoring data and alarm information to a remote monitoring terminal in real time via a wireless communication module, allowing managers to monitor the safety status of the sail during transport at any time and achieve intelligent monitoring and management of the transport process.
[0038] The main structure of the support base 2 in this embodiment 2 adopts an adjustable design, which can flexibly adjust the height and angle of the support device according to the actual height and installation position requirements of the sail equipment. By setting multiple adjustable support feet at the bottom of the support device and multiple adjustable support rods on the main structure, operators can quickly and accurately adjust the support device to the optimal support position, ensuring the stability and safety of the sail during transportation, while improving the versatility and applicability of the support device. Example 3
[0039] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of a protective support device for sail transport according to Embodiment 3 is shown. As shown in the figure, the protective support device for sail transport involved in Embodiment 3 differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:
[0040] An anti-tipping support frame 5 is provided above the protective layer 3. The anti-tipping support frame 5 includes three metal rods 5.1. The top of the metal rods 5.1 is hinged to the hinge ball 5.2. The anti-tipping support frame 5 is in the shape of a triangular mast. The bottom of the metal rods 5.1 is connected to the protective layer 3 through quick-release flanges. The position of the metal rods 5.1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the sail and the center of gravity to ensure the stability of the anti-tipping support frame 5.
[0041] After the sail body 1 is placed on the support base 2, the anti-tipping support frame 5 is installed. The anti-tipping support frame 5 surrounds the sail body 1 from below. The stable triangular structure of the anti-tipping support frame 5 can effectively support and fix the top of the sail, preventing the sail from tipping over due to external forces during transportation.
