Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of catamarans, and more particularly to a folding catamaran. Background Technology

[0002] A catamaran is a special type of vessel characterized by two parallel hulls connected by transverse platforms or beams. This design gives catamarans excellent stability and buoyancy on water. Catamarans offer numerous advantages, leading to their widespread adoption in recent years. These advantages include, but are not limited to, good stability, greater buoyancy, higher speed, lightweight design, strong shallow-water capability, good safety, and wide applicability. However, in addition to these advantages, catamarans also have some disadvantages, such as wider hulls, higher manufacturing and maintenance costs, and poorer wind resistance.

[0003] In related technologies, most of the disadvantages of catamarans have been well resolved. However, catamarans still have the problems of occupying a lot of space when not in use and being inconvenient to store, which affects the service life of catamarans. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a folding catamaran.

[0005] The folding catamaran provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A folding catamaran includes two hulls and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is located between the two hulls. Two symmetrically arranged sleeves are rotatably connected to the connecting rod. The connecting rod is provided with a limiting component to restrict the rotation of the sleeves. The sleeves are provided with positioning components to control the positioning of the two sleeves. An extension rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The sleeve is provided with a control component to control the positioning of the extension rod. An installation rod is fixedly connected to the end of the extension rod away from the sleeve. The installation rod is detachably connected to the hull. A support plate is detachably connected to the connecting rod. The support plate abuts against both the connecting rod and the sleeves.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the catamaran needs to be stored, the operator can disassemble the hull and the mounting rod, store the hull separately, and then rotate the two sleeves. The positioning component will rotate the two sleeves and position them, reducing the space occupied by the connecting rod and the sleeves, facilitating the storage of the catamaran, and extending the service life of the catamaran.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting member is a limiting plate, which is located below the connecting rod. The limiting plate and the connecting rod are fixedly connected, and the sleeve can be rotated to abut against the limiting plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the catamaran is in use, the operator can rotate the sleeve until it abuts against the limiting plate. The limiting plate can limit the rotation of the sleeve, so that the sleeve and the connecting rod are positioned relative to each other, which facilitates the installation of the hull and the mounting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning assembly includes a positioning plate and a positioning bolt, the number of positioning plates is two, the positioning plates are fixedly connected to the sleeve, and the positioning bolts are threadedly connected to both positioning plates.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the catamaran needs to be stored, the operator brings the two sleeves close to each other. The rotation of the sleeves can drive the rotation of the positioning plates, and then the positioning bolts are screwed in. The positioning bolts can fix the two positioning plates, thereby fixing the two sleeves and improving the stability after the sleeves are rotated.

[0012] Preferably, the control component is a control bolt, which is threadedly connected to the sleeve, and the control bolt passes through the sleeve and abuts against the extension rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator can pull the extension rod out of the sleeve according to the actual situation, thereby changing the width of the catamaran. After the extension rod slides to the appropriate position, the operator can screw in the control bolt. The control bolt can apply pressure to the extension rod, thereby positioning the extension rod inside the sleeve, which facilitates the normal use of the catamaran.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod away from the extension rod, and a connecting bolt is provided on the connecting plate. The connecting bolt passes through the connecting plate and is threadedly connected to the hull.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the hull needs to be installed, the operator can move the installation rod, which can drive the connecting plate to move to a suitable position inside the hull, and screw in the connecting bolts. The connecting bolts can fix the connecting plate and the hull, thereby realizing the installation of the hull.

[0016] Preferably, a mounting block is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support plate, the mounting block has a mounting groove, the connecting rod is embedded in the mounting groove, the mounting block has a mounting bolt, and the mounting bolt passes through the mounting block and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate allows the operator to stand and also limits the movement of the connecting rod and sleeve. When the support plate needs to be installed, the operator moves the support plate to move the mounting block, and the connecting rod is embedded in the mounting groove. Then, the mounting bolt is screwed in, which fixes the connecting rod in the mounting groove, thereby realizing the installation of the support plate.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. By using connecting pipes, sleeves, and mounting rods, when the catamaran needs to be stored, the operator can disassemble the hull and mounting rods, store the hull separately, and then rotate the two sleeves. The positioning components will then position the two sleeves after rotation, reducing the space occupied by the connecting rods and sleeves, facilitating the storage of the catamaran, and extending the service life of the catamaran.

[0020] 2. By controlling the setting of the bolt, the operator can pull the extension rod out of the sleeve according to the actual situation, thereby changing the width of the catamaran. After the extension rod slides to the appropriate position, the operator can screw in the control bolt. The control bolt can apply pressure to the extension rod, thereby positioning the extension rod inside the sleeve, which facilitates the normal use of the catamaran. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the inventive objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a folding catamaran, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a hull 1 and a connecting rod 2. There are two hulls 1. The connecting rod 2 is located between the two hulls 1. Two symmetrically arranged sleeves 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2.

[0029] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the connecting rod 2 is equipped with a limiting component to restrict the rotation of the sleeve 3. The limiting component is a limiting plate 21, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the connecting rod 2. The sleeve 3 can rotate to abut against the limiting plate 21, thereby limiting the rotation of the sleeve 3. When the catamaran is in normal use, the operator can rotate the sleeve 3 to abut against the limiting plate 21. The limiting plate 21 can limit the rotation of the sleeve 3, positioning the sleeve 3 and the connecting rod 2 relative to each other, which facilitates the installation of the hull 1 and the mounting rod 5.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the sleeve 3 is equipped with a positioning assembly 7 for controlling the positioning of the two sleeves 3. The positioning assembly 7 includes a positioning plate 71 and a positioning bolt 72. There are two positioning plates 71, which are fixedly connected to the sleeves 3. The positioning bolt 72 is threadedly connected to both positioning plates 71. When the catamaran needs to be stowed, the operator brings the two sleeves 3 closer together. The rotation of the sleeves 3 drives the rotation of the positioning plates 71. Then, the positioning bolt 72 is screwed in, which fixes the two positioning plates 71, thereby fixing the two sleeves 3 and improving the stability of the sleeves 3 after rotation.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, an extension rod 4 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 3. The sleeve 3 is equipped with a control component for positioning the extension rod 4, which is a control bolt 31. The control bolt 31 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 3, passing through the sleeve 3 and abutting against the extension rod 4. The operator can pull the extension rod 4 out of the sleeve 3 as needed, thereby changing the width of the catamaran. After the extension rod 4 slides to a suitable position, the operator can screw in the control bolt 31. The control bolt 31 applies pressure to the extension rod 4, thus positioning it within the sleeve 3, facilitating the normal use of the catamaran.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, an extension rod 4 is fixedly connected to a mounting rod 5 at the end furthest from the sleeve 3, and the mounting rod 5 is detachably connected to the hull 1. A connecting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod 5 furthest from the extension rod 4. The connecting plate 51 fits snugly against the interior of the hull 1, and a connecting bolt 52 is provided on the connecting plate 51. The connecting bolt 52 passes through the connecting plate 51 and is threadedly connected to the hull 1. When the hull 1 needs to be installed, the operator can move the mounting rod 5, which will move the connecting plate 51 to a suitable position within the hull 1. The connecting bolt 52 is then screwed in, fixing the connecting plate 51 to the hull 1, thus achieving the installation of the hull 1.

[0033] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, a support plate 6 is detachably connected to the connecting rod 2, and the support plate 6 abuts against both the connecting rod 2 and the sleeve 3. A mounting block 61 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support plate 6. The mounting block 61 has a mounting groove 62 for the connecting rod 2 to be inserted. A mounting bolt 63 is provided on the mounting block 61, and the mounting bolt 63 passes through the mounting block 61 and is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 2. The support plate 6 provides a platform for the operator to stand on and can also limit the movement of the connecting rod 2 and the sleeve 3. When the support plate 6 needs to be installed, the operator moves the support plate 6, causing the mounting block 61 to move, and the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the mounting groove 62. Then, the mounting bolt 63 is screwed in, fixing the connecting rod 2 within the mounting groove 62, thereby achieving the installation of the support plate 6.

[0034] The implementation principle of a folding catamaran according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0035] When the catamaran needs to be stored, the operator can remove the support plate 6, then disassemble the two hulls 1, and store the support plate 6 and hull 1 separately. Then, rotate the two sleeves 3 to bring them closer together. The rotation of the sleeves 3 can drive the rotation of the positioning plate 71, extension rod 4 and mounting rod 5. After the sleeves 3 rotate, the operator screws in the positioning bolts 72. The positioning bolts 72 can limit the two positioning plates 71, thereby limiting the two sleeves 3, reducing the space occupied by the connecting rod 2 and the sleeves 3, and facilitating the storage of the catamaran.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
