Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated ship, specifically an integrally molded ship. Background Technology

[0002] Existing unibody ships typically consist of a bow, hull, and stern. After being molded as a single unit, the hull usually employs a double-layer structure, comprising two hulls with hollow cavities within each to reduce weight and increase buoyancy. However, while providing buoyancy, this hollow cavity structure sacrifices the overall structural mechanical properties of the hull. Specifically, its longitudinal bending strength and transverse torsional stiffness are insufficient. Under actual navigation conditions, the power source at the stern (such as an engine) generates enormous forward thrust, while the bow bears significant water resistance, resulting in substantial bending moments and torsional loads in the midsection. Under the continuous action of these dual forces, the hollow hull structure is prone to deformation, vibration, and even structural fatigue damage. This not only affects navigational stability and safety but also limits further increases in hull size and upgrades in power configuration, becoming a pressing technical challenge in this field. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problem of insufficient longitudinal bending strength and transverse torsional stiffness caused by the hollow cavity structure of the existing one-piece molded hull. The aim is to provide an one-piece molded ship that can effectively resist bending moment and torsional load during navigation and prevent hull deformation and vibration.

[0004] The technical problem of this utility model is solved by the following technical solution: A one-piece molded ship includes a hull with a bow, a hull, and a stern. The hull includes a bottom shell and sidewalls connected to both sides of the bottom shell. The hull has multiple hollow ribs integrally molded on the bottom shell and extending along the length of the hull. The two ends of each hollow rib are integrally molded on the bow and the stern, respectively. A gap is formed between adjacent hollow ribs, and an elastic seal is filled and fixed in the gap. The hollow ribs and the elastic seal work together to improve the longitudinal strength and lateral stiffness of the hull.

[0005] The ship's wall is formed by extending upward from both sides of the bottom shell to form an outer wall. The upper edge of the outer wall then bends inward to form an inner wall. The inner edge of the inner wall is connected to the bottom shell, and the outer wall, inner wall, and bottom shell together form a hollow cavity structure.

[0006] The bow is equipped with a storage compartment, which is separated from the hull by a vertical wall that extends to the sides of the hull.

[0007] The vertical wall has a through-hole to allow the storage compartment to connect with the interior of the ship.

[0008] One end of the hollow rib is integrally formed on the vertical wall of the bow, and the other end extends to the end of the stern.

[0009] The bottom surface of the bottom shell has a V-shaped cross-section that convexes downwards.

[0010] The ship's hull has multiple handrail holes.

[0011] The ship's hull contains a control box and a seat base.

[0012] The stern is equipped with a mounting slot for installing a power source.

[0013] The bow of the vessel is equipped with a mounting platform for mooring ropes.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the main improvement of this utility model lies in the reinforced design of the hull structure. Specifically, the hull is designed to include a bottom shell and hull walls connected to both sides of the bottom shell. Multiple hollow ribs, integrally formed on the bottom shell and extending along the length of the hull, are also incorporated within the hull. Each hollow rib has its ends integrally formed at the bow and stern, respectively. Furthermore, gaps are formed between adjacent hollow ribs, and elastic seals are filled within these gaps. Through the combined action of the hollow ribs and the elastic seals, the longitudinal strength and lateral stiffness of the hull are enhanced. This design effectively overcomes the problem of insufficient longitudinal bending strength and lateral torsional stiffness caused by the hollow cavity structure of existing integrally formed hulls. This significantly enhances the overall integrity of the hull, enabling it to more effectively resist bending moments and torsional loads generated during navigation, preventing hull deformation and vibration, and ultimately improving navigation stability, safety, and the overall performance of the hull.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The same labels in each figure represent the same parts.

[0025] A type of one-piece molded ship, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly used in rivers, lakes, etc. Its structure includes a hull 1 manufactured in one piece, which is divided into a bow 11, a hull 12 and a stern 13 from front to back.

[0026] The hull 12 includes a bottom shell 121 and a hull wall 14 connected to both sides of the bottom shell. The bottom surface of the bottom shell 121 is a V-shaped surface with a downward convex cross-section. In addition, multiple guide strips 122 extending along the length of the hull are provided on the bottom surface, thereby better reducing the water flow resistance when the hull 1 is sailing.

[0027] The ship wall 14 is integrally extended upward from both sides of the bottom shell 121 to form an outer wall 141. The upper edge of the outer wall is then integrally bent inward to form an inner wall 142. The inner edge of the inner wall is connected to the bottom shell 121 to form an integral structure. Thus, the outer wall 141, the inner wall 142 and the bottom shell 121 together form a hollow cavity structure. That is, the ship wall 14 is a hollow ship wall structure, which achieves both weight reduction and increased buoyancy.

[0028] The ship's hull 14 is provided with multiple handrail holes 143 to facilitate passengers' gripping.

[0029] The bow 11 is provided with a storage compartment 111, which is separated from the hull 12 by a vertical wall 113. Tools or sundries can be placed in the storage compartment 111, and it is usually equipped with a cover (not shown in the figure) for closing.

[0030] The top height of the vertical wall 113 may be slightly lower than the height of the ship wall 14. The two ends of the vertical wall 113 extend to the ship walls 14 on both sides and become one piece, thereby also playing a role in enhancing the strength of the ship hull 1.

[0031] The vertical wall 113 has a through-hole 114 to connect the storage compartment 111 to the interior of the hull 12. This allows excess water to flow into the larger hull 12 through the through-hole 114 when excessive water accumulates in the smaller storage compartment 111. Additionally, the interior of the hull 12 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, it runs directly through the stern 13, so even if water accumulates inside the hull 12, it can be easily discharged from the stern 13.

[0032] The hull 12 is provided with multiple hollow ribs 2 integrally formed on the bottom shell 121 and extending along the length of the hull. The two ends of each hollow rib are integrally formed on the bow 11 and the stern 13, respectively. In this embodiment, for example... Figure 7 The diagram shows that one end of the hollow rib 2 is integrally formed on the vertical wall 113 of the bow 11, and the other end extends to the end of the stern 13. A gap 3 is formed between adjacent hollow ribs 2, and an elastic seal 4, such as a rubber seal, is filled and fixed in the gap. In this way, the hollow rib 2 can reduce the weight of the hull and increase the buoyancy of the hull. The hollow rib 2 and the elastic seal 4 work together to improve the longitudinal strength and lateral stiffness of the hull 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the filled elastic seal 4 and the top surface of each hollow rib 2 must be kept flat so that the inner bottom surface of the entire hull 1 forms a flat surface, thereby facilitating the safe walking of passengers inside the hull.

[0034] The hull 12 is equipped with a control box 5 and a seat base 6. The control box 5 and the seat base 6 can be fixed in the hull 12 with bolts. The control box 5 is mainly used for integrated control of the operation of the hull 1, while the seat base 6 is mainly used for installing seats. The groove reserved in the seat base 6 can be used to place tools or equipment, such as fire extinguishers.

[0035] The stern 13 is provided with a mounting slot 131, which is mainly used for the installation of a power source (such as an engine) to generate a huge forward thrust on the hull 1.

[0036] This utility model adopts this unique hull structure design, which effectively overcomes the problem of insufficient longitudinal bending strength and transverse torsional stiffness caused by the hollow cavity structure of existing one-piece molded ships. This significantly enhances the overall integrity of the hull, enabling it to more effectively resist bending moments and torsional loads generated during navigation, preventing hull deformation and vibration, and ultimately improving navigation stability, safety and overall hull performance.

[0037] In addition, it can also overcome the limitations of hull size to a certain extent and improve the power configuration, thereby solving a technical problem in this field.

[0038] The basic principles and main features of this utility model have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the utility model as claimed. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
