Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrofoil technology, specifically a retractable and rotatable hydrofoil structure. Background Technology

[0002] A hydrofoil is an airfoil that moves in water and generates lift, just like an airfoil moves in the air. Hydrofoil boats utilize this property to lift the hull out of the water, greatly reducing fluid resistance. A typical hydrofoil consists of a wing panel that generates lift, a strut connecting the wing panel to the hull, and other accessories.

[0003] In the comparative case, patent application number CN220682591U discloses a surfing device with an electric hydrofoil structure, including a hydrofoil. A fixed base is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the hydrofoil, a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base, and a mounting frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting rod. A front wing plate and a rear wing plate are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting frame, and a connecting base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the surface of the connecting rod. This electric hydrofoil surfing device can either have a connecting rod, a front wing plate, and a rear wing plate at the bottom of the hydrofoil, and a propeller installed on the connecting rod to enhance the overall buoyancy and provide power, or the propeller can be directly fixed to the bottom of the hydrofoil via the fixed frame to directly provide power to the hydrofoil. The propeller is driven by a motor to provide forward thrust to the overall structure to assist the hydrofoil in moving forward, thus making the hydrofoil drift and glide on the water surface more effortless.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found in the above-mentioned electric hydrofoil structure surfing device. The comparative case uses a structure such as a connecting rod, front wing plate and rear wing plate, and the propeller is installed on the connecting rod. While strengthening the overall buoyancy, it also provides power. The propeller can also be directly fixed to the bottom of the hydrofoil through a fixing frame to directly provide power to the hydrofoil. When the existing hydrofoil moves in the water, its upper wing surface is completely in a cavitation bubble, and only the lower wing surface is in contact with the water flow. The different loads of the hydrofoil make the draft of the hydrofoil unstable, and it is impossible to adjust the angle to cooperate with the water surface to provide lift stability, which reduces the convenience of using the hydrofoil.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design and modify the hydrofoil to effectively prevent the upper surface of the hydrofoil from being completely cavitated when it moves in the water, with only the lower surface in contact with the water flow. The different loads of the hydrofoil cause the draft of the hydrofoil to be unstable, making it impossible to adjust the angle to provide stable lift to the water surface. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a retractable and rotatable hydrofoil structure, which has the advantages of being retractable, adjustable and retractable. This solves the problem that when a hydrofoil moves in water, its upper surface is completely in a cavitation bubble, with only the lower surface in contact with the water flow. Furthermore, the different loads of the hydrofoil cause unstable draft depths, making it impossible to adjust the angle to provide stable lift to the water surface.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a concealable and rotatable hydrofoil structure, comprising;

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a retractable and rotatable hydrofoil structure, comprising:

[0024] Hull 1, with connecting box 2 fixedly connected to the front and back ends of the top of hull 1, and hydrofoil mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of connecting box 2.

[0025] The hydrofoil mechanism 3 includes a bearing 31, a transmission rod 32, a connecting sleeve 33, and a plate 34. The bearing 31 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the connecting box 2. The transmission rod 32 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the bearing 31. The right side of the transmission rod 32 passes through the right side of the connecting box 2 and is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 33. The plate 34 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting sleeve 33. The drive mechanism 4 is fixedly connected laterally to the inner cavity of the connecting box 2.

[0026] refer to Figure 3 The drive mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41, a servo motor 42, a connecting rod 43, and a gear 44. The support frame 41 is horizontally fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the connecting box 2. The servo motor 42 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the support frame 41. The output end of the servo motor 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 43. The right side of the connecting rod 43 extends into the interior of the bearing 31 and is fixedly connected to the left side of the transmission rod 32. The gear 44 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 43. The front end and back end of the inner wall of the connecting box 2 are both fixedly connected to the positioning mechanism 5.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the drive mechanism 4, the servo motor 42 can work to drive the connecting rod 43 and the gear 44 to rotate clockwise, and the rotation of the connecting rod 43 transmits power to the transmission rod 32 to make the subsequent connecting sleeve 33 and the plate wing 34 rotate and adjust.

[0028] refer to Figure 4 The positioning mechanism 5 includes a frame 51, an electric telescopic rod 52, a T-shaped rod 53, a support plate 54, a toothed plate 55, and a rectangular plate 56. The frame 51 is fixedly connected to the front and back ends of the inner wall of the connecting box 2. The electric telescopic rod 52 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame 51. The T-shaped rod 53 is fixedly connected to the right side of the electric telescopic rod 52. The support plate 54 is fixedly connected to the front and back ends of the inner wall of the connecting box 2. The toothed plate 55 is slidably connected to the top of the support plate 54. The inner side of the toothed plate 55 meshes with the surface of the gear 44. The rectangular plate 56 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the front end of the toothed plate 55. The top and bottom of the T-shaped rod 53 are slidably connected to the inner side of the rectangular plate 56.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the positioning mechanism 5, the electric telescopic rod 52 can work to retract and the T-shaped rod 53 can move. The retraction displacement of the T-shaped rod 53 forces the rectangular plate 56 to move inward. The movement of the rectangular plate 56 drives the toothed plate 55 to move along with it. The toothed plate 55 moves along the support plate 54 and remains stable until the toothed plate 55 meshes and is fixed with both sides of the gear 44.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 A groove 6 is provided on the top of the support plate 54 and at the position corresponding to the toothed plate 55. The groove 6 is used in conjunction with the toothed plate 55.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the toothed plate 55 can move back and forth inside the sliding groove 6 by setting the sliding groove 6, and at the same time, it plays a limiting role, avoiding the phenomenon of toothed plate 55 deviating during the movement.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 A slanted groove 7 is provided on the surface of the rectangular plate 56 at the position corresponding to the T-shaped rod 53. The slanted groove 7 is used in conjunction with the T-shaped rod 53.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inclined groove 7 can assist the T-shaped rod 53 in its work and also serve as a limit, preventing the T-shaped rod 53 from detaching during movement.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 The material of the wing 34 is carbon fiber, and the shape of the wing 34 is V-shaped.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the strength of the plate wing 34 can be increased by setting the plate wing 34, and the phenomenon of corrosion and breakage caused by water flow impact can be avoided.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the hull 1 floats on the water surface, while the connecting box 2 and the wing plate 34 are submerged. Then, the servo motor 42 is activated, driving the connecting rod 43 and gear 44 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the connecting rod 43 causes the transmission rod 32 to rotate stably inside the bearing 31. The rotation of the transmission rod 32 causes the connecting sleeve 33 and the wing plate 34 to rotate 90 degrees. The wing plate 34 rotates and fits snugly against the bottom of the hull 1 for storage and concealment. Alternatively, the rotation of the wing plate 34 can be controlled by the servo motor 42 at different angles to accommodate varying loads on the hull 1, adapting to different underwater conditions and currents, and providing a certain angle of attack. The wing plate 34 has an arched cross-section, thus generating lift. In conjunction with the movement of the hull 1, once the angle of the flap 34 is determined, the electric telescopic rod 52 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 52 retracts, causing the T-shaped rod 53 to move accordingly. The movement of the T-shaped rod 53, in conjunction with the inclined groove 7, forces the rectangular plate 56 to move inward. The inward movement of the rectangular plate 56 causes the toothed plate 55 to move accordingly. The toothed plate 55 moves stably along the slide groove 6 inside the support plate 54 until the toothed plate 55 meshes and locks with both sides of the gear 44. The gear 44 is restricted by the toothed plate 55 and cannot rotate, thus fixing the positions of the connecting rod 43, transmission rod 32, connecting sleeve 33, and flap 34. This prevents the flap 34 from shaking even when subjected to impact, thereby achieving the function of flipping the flap 34 for concealment or adjustment.

[0037] In summary, this concealable and tumbling hydrofoil structure works in conjunction with the hull 1, connecting box 2, hydrofoil mechanism 3, bearing 31, transmission rod 32, connecting sleeve 33, wing plate 34, and drive mechanism 4. During operation, the transmission rod 32 rotates under the force inside the bearing 31. The rotation of the transmission rod 32 drives the connecting sleeve 33 and wing plate 34 to rotate synchronously. When the wing plate 34 rotates 90 degrees, it is flush with the hull 1 and concealed. The rotation angle of the wing plate 34 can also be adjusted to vary the depth of contact with the water surface to find a stable lift. This solves the problem that existing hydrofoils, when moving in water, have their upper wing surface completely cavitated, with only the lower wing surface in contact with the water flow. The different loads of the hydrofoils cause unstable drafts, making it impossible to adjust the angle to provide stable lift.
