Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship design technology, specifically a ship superstructure with low wind resistance. Background Technology
[0002] The superstructure is an enclosed structure extending from one side to the other above the continuous upper deck of a ship, or whose side bulkheads are no more than 4% of the ship's beam inward from the outer plating on the side of the ship. The main functions of the superstructure are to provide working and living quarters for the crew, to house various devices and equipment, to increase the angle of the bridge, to expand the field of vision of the navigator, to improve the safety of ship operation, to increase the freeboard of the ship, and to increase the buoyancy of the ship.
[0003] According to the utility model disclosure CN204979136U, the ship includes a deck, which comprises a compass deck, a bridge deck, and a lower deck. An outer end wall is provided between the compass deck, the bridge deck, and the lower deck. Although the streamlined design of the entire superstructure reduces the ship's air resistance, expands the bridge deck's field of vision, and improves the ship's operational economy, this device only utilizes the streamlined design of the superstructure to reduce the ship's air resistance. This method of reducing air resistance is relatively ineffective. When the ship is sailing in different environments, changes in the ship's speed and wind direction will increase the ship's air resistance, and the device cannot automatically adjust to reduce the ship's air resistance. Therefore, we provide a ship superstructure with low wind resistance to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a ship superstructure with low wind resistance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ship superstructure with low wind resistance, comprising a superstructure body, an external wind resistance reduction mechanism, the wind resistance reduction mechanism comprising two powered airfoils, the sides of the two powered airfoils being close to each other being fixedly connected to the two sides of the superstructure body, each powered airfoil having rotatably connected adjustable wind deflectors and equally spaced drive rods inside, the outer surfaces of the two sets of drive rods being fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sets of adjustable wind deflectors, the top of one set of drive rods being fixedly connected to a first rotating gear, the top of the other set of drive rods being fixedly connected to two second rotating gears, the two sets of first rotating gears and the two sets of second rotating gears being fitted together with a plurality of transmission toothed belts, the upper surfaces of the two first rotating gears being fixedly connected to drive motors, the outer surfaces of each drive motor being fixedly connected to a fixing plate, the sides of the two fixing plates being close to each other being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the superstructure body.
[0006] Furthermore, two ventilation openings are provided on the upper surface of the superstructure, each of which is elliptical.
[0007] Furthermore, a deck is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the superstructure, a cabin is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the deck, and a hull is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cabin.
[0008] Furthermore, two window frames are fixedly embedded in the front of the main body of the superstructure, and an observation glass is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each window frame.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the power airfoil plates has two support rods fixedly connected to its back side, and the ends of the two sets of support rods that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the two sides of the main body of the superstructure.
[0010] Furthermore, each set of support rods has a reinforcing rod fixedly connected to its outer surface, and the ends of the two sets of reinforcing rods that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the two sides of the upper building structure, respectively.
[0011] Furthermore, each set of drive rotors has a stabilizing bearing fixedly connected to its outer surface, and the outer rings of the two sets of stabilizing bearings are respectively fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two power airfoils.
[0012] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each of the fixed plates, and the bottom surface of each of the reinforcing plates is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the superstructure.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this low-drag ship superstructure has the following beneficial effects: By incorporating a superstructure body, a powered airfoil, adjustable wind deflectors, and a drive lever, the superstructure body's streamlined design reduces wind resistance at the front. The powered airfoil guides airflow, reducing eddies and separation. Multiple adjustable wind deflectors and drive levers within the powered airfoil facilitate angle adjustment based on sailing speed and wind direction, automatically adjusted by a wind speed sensor and control system, further reducing wind resistance. The combination of a first rotating gear, a second rotating gear, a transmission belt, a drive motor, and a fixed plate allows the drive motor, fixed to the plate, to rotate the drive lever. This, in turn, allows the two sets of adjustable wind deflectors to adjust their angles, further enhancing the wind resistance reduction effect of the superstructure. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0020] This embodiment provides a ship superstructure with low wind resistance. The device is used to set up crew working and living quarters, install various devices and equipment, raise the bridge angle, expand the driver's field of vision, improve ship operation safety, increase ship freeboard and increase ship buoyancy, and facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the adjustable wind deflector, which is automatically adjusted according to the sailing speed and wind direction by wind speed sensor and control system, further reducing wind resistance.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A ship superstructure with low wind resistance includes a superstructure body 1, and two ventilation openings 213 are opened on the upper surface of the superstructure body 1. Each ventilation opening 213 is elliptical. By utilizing the two elliptical ventilation openings 213, the resistance when airflow passes through is reduced, thereby improving the low wind resistance performance of the ship superstructure.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The exterior of the superstructure 1 is equipped with a wind resistance reduction mechanism 2, which includes two powered airfoils 201. The two powered airfoils 201 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the superstructure 1 on their respective sides. Each powered airfoil 201 has two support rods 211 fixedly connected to its back. The two sets of support rods 211 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the superstructure 1 on their respective sides. The support rods 211 are used to make the connection between the powered airfoil 201 and the superstructure 1 more stable. The powered airfoil 201 is an aerodynamic auxiliary structure that can guide airflow and reduce eddies and separation phenomena.
[0023] Reference Figure 3 Each set of support rods 211 has a reinforcing rod 212 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The ends of the two sets of reinforcing rods 212 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the two sides of the upper building body 1 respectively. The reinforcing rods 212 improve the connection stability between the support rods 211 and the upper building body 1, thereby further improving the connection stability between the power airfoil 201 and the upper building body 1.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The superstructure 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a deck 216, the bottom of a cabin 217 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a deck 216, and the bottom of a cabin 217 is fixedly connected to a hull 218. The deck 216, cabin 217 and hull 218 are used to form the whole of the ship, thereby fixing the superstructure 1 to the whole of the ship.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4Each power airfoil 201 has rotatably connected adjustable wind deflectors 202 and drive rods 203 arranged at equal intervals inside. The outer surfaces of the two sets of drive rods 203 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sets of adjustable wind deflectors 202 respectively. The front of the superstructure 1 has two window frames 214 fixedly embedded. The inner wall of each window frame 214 is fixedly connected to an observation glass 215. By using the two window frames 214 and the two observation glasses 215, the crew of the superstructure 1 can easily observe the sea surface, thus facilitating the ship's navigation on the sea.
[0026] Reference Figure 4 One set of drive rods 203 has a first rotating gear 204 fixedly connected to its top end, and another set of drive rods 203 has two second rotating gears 205 fixedly connected to its top end. The two sets of first rotating gears 204 and the two sets of second rotating gears 205 are fitted together with several transmission toothed belts 206. The outer surface of each set of drive rods 203 is fixedly connected with a stabilizing bearing 210. The outer rings of the two sets of stabilizing bearings 210 are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the two power airfoils 201 respectively. By using the stabilizing bearings 210, the rotational stability of the drive rods 203 inside the power airfoils 201 is improved, thereby improving the rotational stability of the adjustable windshield 202.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper surfaces of the two first rotating gears 204 are fixedly connected to drive motors 207, and the outer surfaces of each drive motor 207 are fixedly connected to fixing plates 208. The sides of the two fixing plates 208 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the superstructure 1. The outer surfaces of each fixing plate 208 are fixedly connected to reinforcing plates 209, and the bottom surfaces of each reinforcing plate 209 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the superstructure 1. The reinforcing plates 209 are fixed at the connection between the fixing plates 208 and the superstructure 1, thereby improving the connection stability between the fixing plates 208 and the superstructure 1.
[0028] Working principle: In use, the drive motor 207 is first connected to the power supply. When it is necessary to improve the wind resistance reduction effect of the ship's superstructure, the main body 1 of the superstructure is first fixed on the deck 216. The superstructure is then propelled on the sea surface by the cabin 217 and hull 218 below the deck 216. The wind speed sensor installed in the superstructure detects the superstructure's speed and the ambient wind direction, thereby controlling the drive motor 207 through the ship's control system. The power output of the drive motor 207 drives the drive rod 203 inside the power airfoil 201 to rotate. The first rotating gear 204, the second rotating gear 205, and the transmission belt 206 are engaged to enable multiple drive rods 203 to rotate synchronously at the same angle within the power airfoil 201. This allows the adjustable wind deflector 202 outside the drive rods 203 to rotate at an angle, thereby reducing wind resistance. The connection between the power airfoil 201 and the superstructure 1 is further stabilized by the reinforcement effect of the support rod 211 and the reinforcing rod 212. Two ventilation openings 213 are provided on the upper surface of the superstructure 1. These two ventilation openings 213 are circular or elliptical to reduce airflow resistance and ensure ventilation while minimizing wind resistance.
