Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine technology, specifically relating to a wind deflector for reducing turbulence on the deck of a container ship. Background Technology
[0002] Container ships are vessels specifically designed for transporting containers. Their unique design ensures the safety and efficiency of container transport at sea, and therefore, in order to meet a certain cargo capacity, the ships have a large hull size.
[0003] Therefore, during the navigation of container ships, frictional resistance will be generated between the hull and the air, especially at the bow, where the resulting turbulence will cause greater resistance, which will indirectly increase the ship's fuel consumption. In addition, the strong winds generated by the turbulence will also cause significant interference to the crew working on the deck. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a wind deflector to reduce turbulence on the deck of a container ship.
[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a wind deflector for reducing turbulence on the deck of a container ship, comprising a plate body, extension plates installed on both sides of the plate body, a first air hole and a second air hole opened on the side of the plate body, a fan installed inside the first air hole and the second air hole, a first gear rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the first air hole, a baffle installed on the top of the first gear, a first motor mounted on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the first air hole, a second gear mounted on the top of the first motor, a second motor mounted on the inner wall of the second air hole, and a baffle installed at the output end of the second motor.
[0006] Furthermore, the plate body is streamlined, and the connection section between the extension plate and the plate body is at an obtuse angle. The streamlined design can better guide the airflow, and the extension plate can expand the air guiding range at the tail end.
[0007] Furthermore, the first air vents are arranged in a plurality of equal intervals in the middle of the side of the plate, thereby allowing the first air vents to guide the turbulence generated on the front of the plate.
[0008] Furthermore, there are several second air vents distributed in an array at both ends of the side of the plate, thereby allowing the second air vents to assist.
[0009] Furthermore, there are two of each of the first gear and the second motor, which are symmetrically arranged inside the first air hole. The first gear and the second gear mesh with each other. The combination of the number of gears allows the baffle to be opened in a double-door manner under the meshing action of the gears, and guides the airflow through the fan.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the inner side of the baffle away from the second motor is hinged to the inner wall of the second air hole. The hinge point of the baffle and the installation position of the second motor are both on the inner wall of the second air hole near the middle of the plate, so that the baffle forms an acute angle with the middle of the plate surface after it is unfolded.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention employs a design with multiple air vents, and by incorporating components within these vents, it can significantly reduce turbulence on the deck of container ships. Through precise guidance and regulation of airflow, the adverse effects of turbulence on ship navigation are reduced, improving ship stability. Due to the reduction in turbulence, the ship's wind resistance during navigation is decreased, thereby reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency, and saving costs for ship operation. Furthermore, the close and flexible coordination between the various components allows for effective adjustment according to different navigation conditions and turbulence situations, demonstrating strong adaptability and practicality.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment of a wind deflector for reducing turbulence on the deck of a container ship mainly includes a plate body 1, which is installed at the bow of the ship and has a streamlined shape. This streamlined design can better guide the airflow, allowing it to flow smoothly along the surface of the plate body 1, reducing sudden changes and separation of the airflow, thereby reducing the generation of turbulence. Extension plates 2 are installed on both sides of the plate body 1, and the connection between the extension plates 2 and the plate body 1 is at an obtuse angle. This obtuse angle connection can expand the wind deflector's guiding range, allowing more airflow to be effectively guided and preventing the formation of turbulent vortices at the edge of the plate body 1.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the side of the plate 1 has a first air hole 3 and a second air hole 4. There are several first air holes 3, which are equally spaced in the middle of the side of the plate 1. This evenly spaced distribution allows the airflow to pass evenly through the middle of the plate 1, avoiding excessive concentration or lack of airflow in certain areas. There are also several second air holes 4, but they are distributed in an array at both ends of the side of the plate 1. This array distribution can create a more uniform airflow guidance at both ends of the plate 1, further optimizing the airflow state.
[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, fans 5 are installed inside both the first air vent 3 and the second air vent 4. The function of these fans 5 in the entire air guiding system is to allow the fans 5 to be adjusted according to the actual airflow conditions. When the turbulence on the deck is large, the fans 5 can accelerate the airflow and enhance the air guiding effect; when the turbulence is small, the fans 5 can also maintain a certain airflow speed and maintain the stability of the air guiding.
[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a first gear 6 is rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the first air vent 3, and a baffle 7 is mounted on top of the first gear 6. Simultaneously, a first motor 8 is also mounted on the bottom surface of the inner wall of the first air vent 3, and a second gear 9 is mounted on top of the first motor 8. The first gear 6 and the second gear 9 mesh, and there are two of each, symmetrically arranged inside the first air vent 3. This symmetrical arrangement allows the baffle 7 to open and close in a double-door manner inside the first air vent 3, and the gear transmission structure ensures smoother and more precise rotation of the baffle 7. Driven by the first motor 8, the second gear 9 drives the first gear 6 to rotate, thereby allowing the baffle 7 to be angled. The angle adjustment of the baffle 7 controls the flow rate and direction of the airflow within the first air vent 3, allowing for flexible adjustment according to different turbulence conditions.
[0022] like Figure 4As shown, a second motor 10 is installed on the inner wall of the second air vent 4, and a baffle 11 is installed at the output end of the second motor 10. The end of the inner side of the baffle 11 away from the second motor 10 is hinged to the inner wall of the second air vent 4. The hinge point of the baffle 11 and the installation position of the second motor 10 are both on the inner wall of the second air vent 4 near the middle of the plate 1. This design allows the baffle 11 to rotate under the drive of the second motor 10, thereby controlling the opening and closing degree of the second air vent 4. The rotation point of the baffle 11 is set on the side surface near the middle of the plate 1. When the baffle 11 is unfolded, it can form an acute angle with the surface of the plate 1.
[0023] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When a container ship is sailing, turbulence of varying degrees will occur on the deck. The air guide plate begins to function. The streamlined design of the plate 1 initially guides the airflow, allowing it to flow smoothly over the surface of the plate 1. If the turbulence intensifies, the baffle 11, driven by the second motor 10, opens outward, forming a zigzag shape on the surface of the plate 1, further enhancing the guidance of the turbulence. In the first air vent 3, the first motor 8 drives the second gear 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 6 to rotate, adjusting the baffle 7 to a suitable angle, thereby opening the space and allowing the airflow to pass through the front of the plate 1 to cope with turbulence of different positions and intensities. At the second air vent 4, the second motor 10 drives the baffle 11 to rotate, adjusting the opening size of the second air vent 4 according to the actual situation, optimizing the airflow at both ends of the plate 1. The fan 5 starts, accelerating the airflow in the first air vent 3 and the second air vent 4, thereby precisely controlling the airflow rate and direction.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
