Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine technology, and in particular to a catamaran water replenishment system. Background Technology

[0002] Catamarans, a common type of water transport, typically consist of two parallel hulls connected by a deck. To meet the freshwater needs during navigation, each hull of a catamaran usually has an independent freshwater storage tank. However, in existing catamarans, each freshwater tank has an independent inlet, located only on the outer side of its respective hull. When the vessel docks, operators must manually fill each tank individually. Due to dockside berthing limitations, filling the tank furthest from the dock often requires extending the filling pipe to reach the outer inlet, increasing the complexity of pipework management and potentially leading to leakage and waste during long-distance transport. Furthermore, the independent filling process for each tank requires repetitive steps, significantly increasing manual labor and time, especially in applications requiring frequent water replenishment. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a catamaran water replenishment system to solve the problem that it is difficult to fill multiple water tanks of current catamarans at the same time.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 The diagram schematically illustrates the catamaran water replenishment system of this invention, including a hull 10 and multiple first water tanks 20, all located within the hull 10. The first water tanks 20 can store fresh water for use during navigation. The hull 10 is equipped with a water distributor 11 and multiple water inlets 12. The multiple water inlets 12 are connected to the inlet side of the water distributor 11, and the outlet side of the water distributor 11 is connected to the multiple first water tanks 20.

[0024] The multiple water inlets 12 are located at different positions on the hull 10. Shore water can be injected through any one of the water inlets 12. The shore water enters the water distributor 11 through the water inlet 12, and the water distributor 11 can evenly distribute the water to each of the first water tanks 20, so that the multiple first water tanks 20 can be filled simultaneously. In this embodiment, there are two water inlets 12, which are located on the two sides of the hull 10 respectively. For a catamaran, its width is relatively large, so injecting shore water into either water inlet 12 can fill multiple first water tanks 20 simultaneously.

[0025] The catamaran water replenishment system of this utility model also includes a water filtration device installed in the hull 10 for filtering water. The water filtration device has an inlet pipe 13 and an outlet pipe 14. The end of the inlet pipe 13 extends through the outer wall of the hull 10 and is located below the waterline of the hull 10. This allows the water filtration device to draw water from the navigation area and filter it. The outlet pipe 14 is connected to a water distributor 11. The water discharged from the water filtration device is transported to the water distributor 11 through the outlet pipe 14. The water distributor 11 distributes the water discharged from the water filtration device evenly into multiple first water tanks 20, thereby realizing the replenishment of multiple first water tanks 20 through the navigation area and improving the ship's self-sufficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, the water filtration device includes a second filter element 40, a second water tank 30, a third filter element 50, and a booster pump 60. The second filter element 40 has an inlet end 41, a clean water end 42, and a wastewater end 43. The inlet end 41 of the second filter element 40 is used to input the water to be filtered. After being filtered by the second filter element 40, the water is divided into clean water and wastewater. The clean water is discharged from the clean water end 42 of the second filter element 40, and the wastewater is discharged from the wastewater end 43 of the second filter element 40. The inlet end 41 of the second filter element 40 is connected to the inlet pipe 13, the clean water end 42 of the second filter element 40 is connected to the second water tank 30, and the wastewater end 43 of the second filter element 40 is connected to the outlet pipe 14. Therefore, the second filter element 40 can filter the water in the navigation area of ​​the ship, delivering clean water to the second water tank 30 for drinking purposes, and delivering wastewater through the outlet pipe 14 to the water distributor 11 and distributing it evenly to multiple first water tanks 20 for other water uses on the ship. The third filter element 50 and the booster pump 60 are arranged sequentially on the inlet pipe 13. The third filter element 50 can perform coarse filtration of the water in the navigation area, and the booster pump 60 is used to pressurize the water and pump it into the second filter element 40 to improve the filtration efficiency. In this embodiment, the third filter element 50 can be either a PP cotton filter element or an activated carbon filter element, and the second filter element 40 can be an RO reverse osmosis filter element.

[0027] To switch the flow direction of wastewater discharged from the second filter element 40, the hull 10 is equipped with a reversing valve 15 and a drain pipe 16 that runs through the outer wall of the hull 10. The water distributor 11, the drain pipe 16, and the outlet pipe 14 are all connected to the reversing valve 15. Driven by the booster pump 60, the water in the navigation area is filtered by the second filter element 40 to produce clean water and wastewater. When the first water tank 20 is not full, the reversing valve 15 opens the water distributor 11 and the outlet pipe 14 and closes the drain pipe 16, so that the wastewater at the outlet pipe 14 flows to the water distributor 11 and fills multiple first water tanks 20. When the first water tank 20 is filled, the reversing valve 15 opens the outlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 16 and closes the water distributor 11. At this time, the wastewater at the outlet pipe 14 flows to the drain pipe 16 and is discharged outside the ship.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 14 is equipped with a pressure relief valve 141 and a check valve 142. The pressure relief port of the pressure relief valve 141 is connected to the drain pipe 16. The pressure relief pressure of the pressure relief valve 141 is adjusted to be greater than the water injection pressure at the pressure relief valve 141 when water is injected into the water inlet 12. This ensures that the wastewater end 43 of the second filter element 40 can drain smoothly when water is injected into the water inlet 12.

[0029] In addition, a first filter element 21 is provided between the outlet side of the water distributor 11 and the first water tank 20. The first filter element 21 can perform secondary filtration on the water delivered from the water distributor 11 to the first water tank 20 to prevent impurities from entering the first water tank 20. The inlet of the first water tank 20 is provided with a liquid level control valve 22, which automatically closes when the first water tank 20 is full.

[0030] In summary, the hull 10 is equipped with multiple first water tanks 20, all of which are connected to the outlet side of the water distributor 11 on the hull 10. The multiple water inlets 12 of the hull 10 are connected to the inlet side of the water distributor 11. The water distributor 11 can evenly distribute water to each of the first water tanks 20. When the ship docks for water replenishment, water can be injected into any one of the water inlets 12. The water inlet 12 will transport the water to the water distributor 11, which will then evenly distribute the shore water to the multiple first water tanks 20, so that any one water inlet 12 can complete the water replenishment operation of multiple first water tanks 20.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
