[0058] To more clearly demonstrate the technical solution and its effects provided by this utility model, the following detailed description of the solution provided by the embodiments of this utility model is given with reference to specific examples.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a simulated floating and rocking boat device, including: a lifting mechanism 100, a buoyancy counterweight box assembly, a boat hull 300, and a compression spring assembly consisting of two studded spiral compression springs 400, two U-bolts 500, and a spring pressure plate 600.

All metal parts undergo hot-dip galvanizing to enhance underwater rust resistance. The underwater cylinder 108 is mounted on the base frame 101, and one end of the floating joint 109 is connected to the cylinder rod, while the other end is connected to the lifting frame 103. Four sets of guide bushing assemblies 105 are mounted on the fixing plate 102, and four guide rods 104 are connected to the lifting frame 103 and pass through the 105.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the buoyancy box 200 in the above-mentioned hull device mainly includes a buoyancy box body 201, a buoyancy box cover 202, and a low-density foam filler 203; wherein, the low-density foam filler 203 fills the buoyancy box body 201, empties the internal space of the box, achieves the maximum displacement, minimizes mass, and provides the maximum buoyancy effect.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the hull 300 in the above-mentioned hull device is made of fiberglass, and the bottom of the hull is not sealed, which reduces the impact of water buoyancy on the hull when it descends.

[0065] In the compression spring assembly of the aforementioned hull device, studded helical compression springs 400 are used as compression springs. The hull 300 is pressed against two studded helical compression springs 400 via spring pressure plates 600. Each studded helical compression spring 400 is connected to the spring pressure plate 600 and the lifting frame 103 in the lifting mechanism using a U-bolt 500. In this way, the dynamic characteristics of the two cylindrical helical compression springs under variable loads are used to achieve the effect of the hull rocking in the water.
