Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater transportation technology, and more specifically, to a hydraulically driven underwater transportation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing transportation landscape, various rapid transportation systems, such as aviation, highways, and high-speed railways, are vying for dominance, each demonstrating their powerful transport capabilities and unique advantages. Air transport, with its extremely high speed, can cross intercontinental distances in a short time, greatly shortening people's travel time and the transportation cycle of goods. Highways, with their flexible route planning and convenient access points, have achieved efficient connections between cities and regions, facilitating the distribution of goods and the movement of people. High-speed railways, with their large capacity, high punctuality, and high comfort, have become an important choice for medium- and long-distance passenger transport, effectively promoting economic development and exchanges along their routes.

[0003] However, water transport is an important component of the transportation artery. Compared with the aforementioned rapid transportation system, water transport is significantly slower. Water transport is highly susceptible to external environmental interference. For example, severe weather such as typhoons and rainstorms can cause turbulent waves on the sea or river, reducing the safety of ship navigation and even forcing ships to stop. Secondly, traditional water transport methods mostly rely on fossil fuels, such as fuel engines, which release large amounts of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides during combustion, causing serious environmental impact. Therefore, a water-powered underwater transport equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a hydraulically driven underwater transportation equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an underwater transport equipment driven by water power, comprising a transport pipeline. Both ends of the transport pipeline are equipped with control units. These control units open or close the water inlet and control the water flow to regulate water pressure, thereby controlling the operating speed of the hull. Simultaneously, they can open or close the exhaust pipes. The bottom of the control unit has a water inlet, allowing external liquid to enter the transport pipeline, placing the liquid on one side of the hull and increasing the pressure thereon. By activating the hull's power system and combining it with water pressure, the hull is propelled. The top of the transport pipeline has multiple exhaust pipes, facilitating the discharge of gas from the pipeline and allowing gas to be introduced into the pipeline to maintain consistent air pressure inside and outside. The rate of liquid entering the transport pipeline can be controlled by adjusting the exhaust rate of the exhaust pipes, preventing sudden influx of liquid. The bottom of the transport pipeline has multiple support piers, and the bottom of each support pier has multiple pile foundations. The support piers and pile foundations provide support and fixation for the transport pipeline, increasing its strength.

[0006] A cabin is located in the middle of the transport pipeline, and observation windows are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transport pipeline. One end of the exhaust pipe is connected to a delivery pump, and elevator cars are installed on the top of both sides of the transport pipeline. Passengers can enjoy underwater sightseeing through the observation windows, and people and goods can easily enter the cabin through the elevator cars for convenient control and use.

[0007] Preferably, the supporting pier is configured as a triangular structure, the pile foundation column is configured as a steel pipe pile, the transport pipeline is configured as a large-diameter rust-proof high-strength alloy steel pipe, and the inlet is equipped with a liquid pump to control the water inflow. This can improve the support strength of the transport pipeline, supporting pier, and pile foundation column, and ensure that the pipeline does not deform under huge water pressure. The liquid pump can also control the amount of liquid input, thereby regulating the water pressure.

[0008] Preferably, the cabin is surrounded by a low-friction, waterproof protective sleeve, and the inner and outer sides of the transport pipe are coated with anti-rust paint. This can prevent water from seeping forward and causing a drop in water pressure, while also reducing the friction between the cabin and the inside of the pipe. The anti-rust paint can also ensure that the pipe is not corroded.

[0009] Preferably, the observation window is made of tempered glass, the exhaust pipe is made of rubber pipe, and one end of the exhaust pipe extends to the water surface and is marked. The observation window allows passengers to enjoy underwater sightseeing, and the markings prevent the top of the exhaust pipe from being damaged.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This invention first introduces liquid through an inlet and exhausts gas through an outlet pipe. The water pressure drives the cabin, generating power through physical work. This is a natural and pollution-free process with the advantages of low-carbon travel, energy conservation, and emission reduction. It can effectively reduce environmental pollution and achieve purely green travel. Moreover, the transportation system is located underwater, which has strong concealment. It can not only be used as a means of transportation for daily residents, but also help transport national defense and war preparation materials when necessary. At the same time, the transportation system does not need to consider weather conditions or other emergencies. Regardless of the external environment, it will not affect the normal operation of the cabin inside the pipeline.

[0012] This utility model also features an elevator car that allows people and goods to easily enter the cabin from the platform via the elevator inside the car. The control of the delivery pump to exhaust the air from the inside of the transport pipe can increase the air pressure intensity, thereby increasing the movement speed of the cabin. At the same time, it can prevent liquid from suddenly splashing into the transport pipe, improving the buffering effect of the cabin movement. The observation window allows passengers to enjoy underwater sightseeing. The low-friction waterproof protective sleeve can prevent water from seeping forward and causing a drop in water pressure. It can also reduce the friction between the cabin and the inside of the pipe. The anti-rust paint can ensure that the pipe is not corroded.

[0013] In summary, through the interaction of the above-mentioned multiple effects, water pressure can be used as a natural and pollution-free power source, offering advantages such as low-carbon travel, energy conservation, and emission reduction. It also has strong concealment, ensuring that the normal operation of the ship's cabin inside the pipeline is not affected regardless of the external environment, thus improving the overall efficiency.

[0019] As attached Figure 1-3 The diagram illustrates a hydraulically driven underwater transport device, comprising a transport pipeline 1. Control units 2 are installed at both ends of the transport pipeline 1. The control units 2 open or close the water inlet 3 and regulate the water pressure by controlling the water inflow, thereby controlling the operating speed of the hull 6. Simultaneously, they can open or close the exhaust pipe 8. A water inlet 3 is located at the bottom of the control unit 2, allowing external liquid to enter the transport pipeline 1, placing the liquid on one side of the hull 6, increasing the pressure on that side, and propelling the hull 6 by activating its power system and combining it with the water pressure. The top of the transport pipeline 1 is equipped with multiple exhaust pipes 8, which facilitate the discharge of gas inside the transport pipeline 1. Gas can also be introduced into the transport pipeline 1 through the exhaust pipes 8 to keep the air pressure inside and outside the transport pipeline 1 consistent. The rate at which liquid enters the transport pipeline 1 can be controlled by controlling the exhaust rate of the exhaust pipes 8, thus preventing liquid from suddenly splashing into the transport pipeline 1. The bottom of the transport pipeline 1 is equipped with multiple support piers 4, and the bottom of the support piers 4 is equipped with multiple pile columns 5. The support piers 4 and pile columns 5 can support and fix the transport pipeline 1, thereby improving the support strength.

[0020] A cabin 6 is located in the middle of the transport pipeline 1. Observation windows 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transport pipeline 1. One end of the exhaust pipe 8 is connected to a delivery pump 9. Elevator cars 10 are installed on the top of both sides of the transport pipeline 1. Passengers can enjoy underwater sightseeing through the observation windows 7. Elevator cars 10 facilitate the entry of people and goods into the cabin 6 and facilitate control and use.

[0021] As attached Figure 1-3As shown, the support pier 4 is a triangular structure, the pile foundation column 5 is a steel pipe pile, and the transport pipeline 1 is a large-diameter rust-proof high-strength alloy steel pipe. The inlet 3 is equipped with a liquid pump to control the water inflow, which can improve the support strength of the transport pipeline 1, support pier 4, and pile foundation column 5, and ensure that the pipeline does not deform under huge water pressure. The liquid pump can control the amount of liquid input, thereby regulating the water pressure. The cabin 6 is surrounded by a low-friction, waterproof protective sleeve. The inner and outer sides of the transport pipeline 1 are coated with anti-rust paint to prevent water from seeping forward and causing a drop in water pressure. At the same time, it can reduce the friction between the cabin and the inside of the pipeline, and the anti-rust paint can ensure that the pipeline is not corroded. The observation window 7 is made of tempered glass, and the exhaust pipe 8 is made of rubber pipe. One end of the exhaust pipe 8 extends to the water surface and is marked. The observation window 7 allows passengers to enjoy underwater sightseeing, and the marking can prevent the top of the exhaust pipe 8 from being damaged.

[0022] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a hydraulically driven underwater transportation system. Using the aforementioned hydraulically driven underwater transportation equipment, the transportation system includes the following steps:

[0023] S1: People and goods enter the interior of cabin 6 via the elevator inside elevator car 10;

[0024] S2: The controller 2 controls the opening of the water inlet 3 on one side to allow liquid to enter the interior of the transport pipe 1 and push the cabin 6, and controls the delivery pump 9 to vent air from the interior of the transport pipe 1 to increase the movement speed of the cabin 6.

[0025] S3: When the cabin 6 is about to reach the other end, close the water inlet 3 and control the exhaust pipe 8 to input gas into the transport pipe 1 through the delivery pump 9 to increase the air pressure resistance and achieve the slow braking of the cabin 6 to stop the cabin 6, so that people and cargo can exit the cabin.

[0026] S4: The working status of the equipment can be detected by discharging the liquid inside the transport pipe 1 through the other water inlet 3, and the cabin 6 can be controlled to move in the opposite direction by inputting liquid through the other water inlet, so as to realize the return of the cabin 6.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, people and goods enter the interior of the cabin 6 through the elevator inside the elevator car 10 at the platform. The liquid pump of the water inlet 3 on one side is turned on by the control machine 2 so that the liquid enters the interior of the transport pipe 1 to push the cabin 6. The delivery pump 9 is controlled to exhaust air from the interior of the transport pipe 1, which can increase the movement speed of the cabin 6.

[0028] When the cabin 6 is about to reach the other end, the infusion pump of the water inlet 3 is closed to stop the water intake, and the gas is introduced into the transport pipe 1 by the control of the exhaust pipe 8 through the start of the delivery pump 9, which increases the air pressure resistance and achieves the slow braking of the cabin 6 to stop the cabin 6. The people and goods are then allowed to exit the cabin by opening the cabin 6 and using the elevator.

[0029] By discharging the liquid inside the transport pipeline 1 through the inlet 3 on the other side, the working status of the equipment can be easily detected. Then, by inputting liquid through the inlet on the other side, the reverse movement of the cabin 6 can be controlled, so that the cabin 6 can return.
