[0024] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a ship range extender mounting base 100 for mounting a ship range extender 200 on a ship hull 300. The ship range extender mounting base 100 includes an upper mounting plate 121, a lower mounting plate 122, and a side plate 123. The upper mounting plate 121 has a clearance hole 124 for clearance of a pad located at the bottom of the ship range extender 200, so that the ship range extender 200 is supported and placed on the upper mounting plate 121. The side plate 123 is mounted on the upper mounting plate 121 and has a first mounting part 125 for fixed connection with the ship range extender 200. The lower mounting plate 122 has a second mounting part 126 for fixed connection with the ship hull 300.

[0025] When the range extender 200 needs to be installed on the hull 300, firstly, the pad at the bottom of the range extender 200 passes through the clearance hole 124, so that the range extender 200 is supported and placed on the upper mounting plate 121. Then, it is fixedly connected to the range extender 200 through the first mounting part 125, and finally, it is fixedly connected to the hull 300 through the second mounting part 126. This range extender mounting base 100 facilitates the installation of the range extender 200 on the hull 300, and also has the advantages of easy disassembly and assembly, and stable installation.

[0026] The range extender mounting base 100 has a simple structure and is easy to install. The mounting base is widened on all four sides, which can effectively prevent the range extender from capsizing when installed on the hull 300 of speedboats, ships, etc., reduce vibration, and ensure the normal and stable operation of the range extender. At the same time, the mounting base keeps the range extender away from the bottom of the hull 300, which can prevent water immersion under certain circumstances.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper mounting plate 121, the lower mounting plate 122, and the two side plates 123 are all made of hot-dip galvanized steel plates with a surface powder coating thickness of 160um and a salt spray rating of 720h or higher, ensuring corrosion resistance in high salt spray environments, thus making them suitable for high salt spray environments where ships are located.

[0028] One embodiment of this utility model provides a marine range extender mounting base 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the ship range extender mounting base 100 includes a connector 110 and two support bases 120. The connector 110 is fixedly connected between the two support bases 120. Each support base 120 includes an upper mounting plate 121 and a lower mounting plate 122. The support base 120 has a U-shaped structure including the upper mounting plate 121 and the lower mounting plate 122, and the width of the lower mounting plate 122 is greater than the width of the upper mounting plate 121. The second mounting part 126 is located outside the projection of the upper mounting plate 121 onto the lower mounting plate 122 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the upper mounting plate 121, which facilitates the fixed connection between the second mounting part 126 and the hull 300, avoiding the upper mounting plate 121 from affecting its installation.

[0029] Furthermore, the support base 120 also includes a connecting plate 128, through which the upper mounting plate 121 and the lower mounting plate 122 are connected, and a connector 110 is connected to the connecting plate 128. The lower side of the connecting plate 128 is connected to the lower mounting plate 122, the upper side of the connecting plate 128 is connected to the upper mounting plate 121, and the connector 110 is connected to the surface of the connecting plate 128.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, both the first mounting portion 125 and the second mounting portion 126 are mounting holes. Bolts can pass through the first mounting portion 125 to be fixedly connected to the ship range extender 200, and bolts can pass through the second mounting portion 126 to be fixedly connected to the hull 300. Both the first mounting portion 125 and the second mounting portion 126 are oblong holes. When there is a displacement error between the ship range extender 200 and the ship range extender mounting base 100, the oblong holes can easily align with the mounting holes on the ship range extender 200, thus facilitating the fastening bolts to pass through the first mounting portion 125 to be fixedly connected to the ship range extender 200; when there is a displacement error between the ship range extender mounting base 100 and the hull 300, the oblong holes can easily align with the mounting holes on the hull 300, thus facilitating the fastening bolts to pass through the second mounting portion 126 to be fixedly connected to the hull 300.

[0031] One embodiment of this utility model provides a marine range extender mounting base 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the ship range extender mounting base 100 also includes two guide plates 127, which are mounted on the lower mounting plate 122 and are located on opposite sides of the ship range extender mounting base 100. In this embodiment, the guide plates 127 are perpendicular to the lower mounting plate 122. The guide plates 127 prevent damage to the hull 300 from the edges of the lower mounting plate 122 when the ship range extender mounting base 100 is installed on the hull 300.

[0032] One embodiment of this utility model provides a marine range extender mounting base 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the vessel range extender mounting base 100 also includes an upper gasket 130, which is laid on the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 121 and has a through hole communicating with the clearance hole 124. The upper gasket 130 can cushion the vessel range extender 200, allowing the bottom of the vessel range extender 200 to flexibly contact the upper surface of the upper mounting plate 121 through the upper gasket 130.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the range extender mounting base 100 also includes a lower pad 140, which is laid on the lower surface of the lower mounting plate 122. The lower mounting plate 122 contacts the hull 300 through the lower pad 140. The lower pad 140 can cushion the range extender mounting base 100, allowing the range extender mounting base 100 to flexibly contact the hull 300 through the lower pad 140, and can also play an anti-slip role when it cannot be locked.

[0034] In this embodiment, both the upper gasket 130 and the lower gasket 140 are EPDM rubber gaskets with 3M waterproof adhesive backing on one side. Of course, it is understood that the upper gasket 130 and the lower gasket 140 can also be made of other materials, which is not limited here.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, there are two side plates 123. The side plates 123 are mounted on the upper mounting plate 121. The two side plates 123 are located on opposite sides of the ship range extender mounting base 100. When the pad at the bottom of the ship range extender 200 passes through the clearance hole 124 so that the ship range extender 200 is supported and placed on the upper mounting plate 121, the ship range extender 200 is limited between the two side plates 123. The first mounting part 125 is a mounting hole, and then the bolt can pass through the first mounting part 125 to be fixedly connected to the ship range extender 200.

[0036] In another specific embodiment, there are two side plates 123. The side plates 123 are mounted on the upper mounting plate 121. The two side plates 123 are located on adjacent sides of the ship range extender mounting base 100. When the pad at the bottom of the ship range extender 200 passes through the clearance hole 124 to support the ship range extender 200 on the upper mounting plate 121, the two side plates 123 simultaneously position the ship range extender 200. The first mounting part 125 is a mounting hole, and then bolts can pass through the first mounting part 125 to be fixedly connected to the ship range extender 200.

[0037] In another specific embodiment, there are two side plates 123, and each side plate 123 is L-shaped. The side plates 123 are mounted on the upper mounting plate 121, and the two side plates 123 are located diagonally opposite each other in the range extender mounting base 100. When the pad at the bottom of the range extender 200 passes through the clearance hole 124 to support the range extender 200 on the upper mounting plate 121, the two side plates 123 simultaneously position the range extender 200. The first mounting part 125 is a mounting hole, and bolts can then pass through the first mounting part 125 to fix and connect to the range extender 200. Of course, it can be understood that there are four side plates 123, and each side plate 123 is L-shaped, with the four side plates 123 located at the four corners of the range extender mounting base 100.

[0038] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, another embodiment of this utility model provides a range-extended electric vessel, which includes a hull 300, a range extender 200, and a range extender mounting base 100 as provided in any of the above embodiments.
