Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine ion propulsion devices, specifically a marine ion propulsion device that is easy to operate. Background Technology
[0002] Marine ion propulsion systems are devices that use ionized gas to generate thrust and propel ships forward. They offer advantages such as high efficiency, energy saving, and low noise. They typically use inert gases (such as xenon) or seawater as propellants. First, the propellant is ionized using an electron gun or electric / electromagnetic fields, transforming neutral gas atoms or ions in the seawater into positively charged ions and electrons. Then, a strong electric field accelerates these positive ions, causing them to exit at extremely high speeds from the stern. According to Newton's third law, this generates a reaction force that propels the ship forward. To prevent charge buildup from affecting propulsion, an electron neutralizer injects electrons into the ion beam to neutralize it and prevent the device from becoming over-charged.
[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN221091204U) discloses a convenient-to-operate marine ion propulsion device. This utility model, by setting up a shell, specifically by placing the assembled ion propulsion device into the shell and then fixing the ion propulsion device with a fixing ring, allows the ion propulsion device to be quickly installed on the hull via a mounting base, reducing the labor required of workers. At the same time, after installation, it can be quickly disassembled by removing the mounting base, improving work efficiency.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, while existing patents offer solutions that allow for rapid attachment of the ion propulsion device to the hull via components such as mounting bases, in practical use, the outer wall of the hull has a certain curvature, and the curvature varies depending on the size and specifications of the hull. This makes it inconvenient to install the mounting base and prevents it from being compatible with a wider range of hull models. Utility Model Content

Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0006] Given that the existing technology has a certain curvature on the outer wall of the hull, and that the curvature of hulls of different sizes varies, the mounting base is inconvenient to install and cannot be adapted to more types of hulls.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A user-friendly marine ion propulsion device includes a mounting base, on the top of which the device body is fixedly mounted, and on one side of which an adjustment mechanism is provided.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the outer wall of the support rod is provided with a locking groove corresponding to the position of the rotating cylinder, and the other end of the insertion rod is fitted with a sleeve.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model: a limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the card slot, and a limiting plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the abutment block at the position corresponding to the limiting groove.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] This embodiment provides a convenient marine ion propulsion device, including a mounting base 1, a device body 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 1, and an adjustment mechanism 3 provided on one side of the mounting base 1.
[0034] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a fixing plate 301, which is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting base 1. A connecting rod 302 is embedded at the front end of the fixing plate 301. A rotating block 303 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting rod 302. A contact frame 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating block 303. An installation hole 305 is opened on the inner wall of the contact frame 304. A reinforcing ring 306 is sleeved on one end of the rotating block 303 outside the connecting rod 302.
[0035] Specifically, the rotating block 303 forms a rotating structure with the fixed plate 301 through the connecting rod 302, and the fixed plate 301 forms a rotating structure with the contact frame 304.
[0036] Furthermore, through the cooperation of the connecting rod 302 and the rotating block 303, a rotating structure can be formed between the fixed plate 301 and the contact frame 304, and adaptively adjusted according to the curvature of the hull of different specifications.
[0037] Specifically, the connecting rod 302 is threadedly connected to the reinforcing ring 306, and the reinforcing ring 306 is tightly fitted to the rotating block 303.
[0038] Furthermore, by connecting the connecting rod 302 to the reinforcing ring 306 by thread, after the contact frame 304 is fixed with bolts, the position of the reinforcing ring 306 can be adjusted to press the rotating block 303, thereby improving stability and preventing loosening after the mounting base 1 is fixed.
[0039] In use, the mounting base 1 is first moved to the mounting position of the equipment body 2 on the hull. Then, through the fixing plate 301 and the connecting rod 302, the rotating block 303 drives the contact frame 304 to rotate, which is adaptively adjusted according to the curvature of the hull. The bolts are inserted into the mounting holes 305 to fix it to the hull. At the same time, the reinforcing ring 306 moves along the connecting rod 302 and presses against the rotating block 303 to further improve the stability after fixing.
[0040] In summary, through the cooperation of connecting rod 302 and rotating block 303, the fixing plate 301 can be positioned with the mounting base 1, while the abutment frame 304 can be adjusted and rotated to fit with hulls of different specifications. It is then fixed by the cooperation of bolts and mounting holes 305, thereby improving the overall applicability and versatility, and facilitating operation. After initial positioning, adjusting the position of reinforcing ring 306 on connecting rod 302 until it presses against rotating block 303 can further improve the stability after positioning.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.
[0043] Specifically, a support rod 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall fixing plate 301 of the mounting base 1, and a reinforcement mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the support rod 4.
[0044] Furthermore, the reinforcement mechanism 5 further enhances the fixation effect on the basis of the fixing mechanism 3.
[0045] Specifically, the reinforcement mechanism 5 includes a rotating cylinder 501, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 4, and an insertion rod 502 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating cylinder 501.
[0046] Furthermore, the insertion rod 502 can be rotated by rotating the cylinder 501, so that it can be adjusted according to the adjustment of the contact frame 304, thus avoiding the situation of being limited.
[0047] Specifically, the outer wall of the support rod 4 is provided with a locking groove 503 corresponding to the position of the rotating cylinder 501, and the other end of the insertion rod 502 is fitted with a sleeve 504.
[0048] Furthermore, the locking groove 503 can limit the rotation cylinder 501, keeping it in place while the support rod 4 rotates externally to prevent displacement, and preventing the reinforcement mechanism 5 from shifting after deployment.
[0049] Specifically, a rotating locking block 505 is rotatably connected to the front end of the sleeve 504, and an abutting block 506 is fixedly installed at the front end of the rotating locking block 505.
[0050] Furthermore, by rotating the locking block 505, the contact block 506 and the sleeve 504 can be rotated and engaged, ensuring the active connection while preventing the program from becoming loose.
[0051] Specifically, a slot 507 is provided on the outer wall of the contact bracket 304 at the position corresponding to the contact block 506, and a card plate 508 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the contact block 506.
[0052] Furthermore, the slot 507 can limit the position of the contact block 506, thereby further improving the stability of the reinforcement mechanism 5.
[0053] Specifically, a connecting shaft 509 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall slot 507 of the contact bracket 304, and a pressing plate 510 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 509.
[0054] Furthermore, the pressing plate 510 can be rotated via the connecting shaft 509 and then abut against one side of the clamping plate 508. It is fixed to the abutting frame 304 by bolts and corresponding reserved holes, thereby limiting the abutting block 506, allowing the reinforcing mechanism 5 to unfold and be fixed, and improving the stability of the entire equipment body 2 after installation.
[0055] Specifically, a limiting groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the card slot 507, and a limiting plate 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the abutment block 506 at the position corresponding to the limiting groove 6.
[0056] Furthermore, by limiting the position of the limiting plate 7 through the limiting groove 6, the stability of the abutment block 506 is further improved, preventing rotation or displacement that would cause the card plate 508 to fail to correspond to the position of the card slot 507.
[0057] In use, with the cooperation of the support rod 4 and the locking groove 503, the rotating cylinder 501 can drive the insertion rod 502 to rotate, and adjust the position of the sleeve 504 threadedly connected to the insertion rod 502, so that the abutment block 506 can pass into the locking groove 507 and be limited by the limiting plate 7 and the limiting groove 6. Thus, the sleeve 504 can be rotated, and the locking block 505 can be rotated to move the abutment block 506 inside the locking groove 507 until it abuts one side of the locking groove 507. Then, the pressing plate 510 is rotated by the connecting shaft 509 and fixed by bolts, thus limiting the locking plate 508. Under the limitation of the limiting plate 7 by the limiting groove 6, the stability of the mounting base 1 after it is fixed can be further improved.
[0058] In summary, after the adjustment mechanism 3 is adjusted and fixed, the angle of the rotating cylinder 501 can be adjusted under the support of the support rod 4, and the length of the insertion rod 502 and the sleeve 504 can be adjusted. One side of the contact block 506 can be inserted into the slot 507, which is convenient for limiting after being fixed by the card plate 508. On the basis of the fixed adjustment mechanism 3, it is further fixed by the reinforcement mechanism 5, which further improves the stability of the entire mounting base 1 after it is fixed.
