Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kayak technology, specifically to a kayak float tilting and adjustment structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of water fishing, existing technologies have addressed the issues of narrowness and poor stability in traditional kayaks by installing floats on both sides to enhance stability. For example, patent "CN115535190B" discloses an anti-capsulation lifeboat that connects seven sets of external floats to the outer hull via hooks, thus assembling the anti-capsulation components on both sides with the outer hull to form a fixed support structure to prevent the kayak from capsizing. However, existing technologies generally have limitations. For instance, the floats are fixed in position and cannot dynamically adjust their height or angle relative to the hull based on changes in water level, current speed, and fishing intensity. When the water level rises suddenly, the current is turbulent, or the user makes large movements, the fixed floats cannot adapt to the balance requirements under different conditions and are still prone to capsizing due to unbalanced buoyancy distribution, resulting in insufficient safety and adaptability.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to study a Kayak pontoon tilting adjustment structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, and in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a Kayak pontoon tilting adjustment structure, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a buoy tilting and adjusting structure, comprising a crossbar fixed to the hull and adjusting components disposed on the left and right sides of the crossbar. The adjusting components include a connecting rod, a vertical rod, and a telescopic rod. The end of the connecting rod near the hull is hinged to the end of the crossbar, and the bottom of the connecting rod away from the hull is fixedly connected to the buoy. The vertical rod is fixed vertically to the connecting rod, and the telescopic rod is inclinedly hinged between the crossbar and the vertical rod. Controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod can drive the buoys on both sides of the crossbar to tilt relative to the hull, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the buoys.
[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod includes an L-shaped bent section and a lifting section. The end of the bent section near the hull is hinged to the end of the crossbar, and the end away from the hull extends vertically downward and is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting section.
[0007] Furthermore, the pontoon is equipped with a hanging strap, and the lifting section is fixed to the pontoon via the hanging strap.
[0008] Furthermore, the upright is vertically fixed to the top of the L-shaped bend, and the top of the upright extending vertically upward is provided with a hinge seat for hinged connection with the telescopic rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the hull is provided with a fixing seat, and the fixing seat is provided with a retainer by bolts, and the crossbar is fixed in the retainer.
[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic pole is an electric telescopic pole, which is connected to a 2.4G band wireless handheld control device. The handheld device controls the telescopic pole's extension and retraction, as well as the ship's steering and propulsion.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The buoy tilting and adjusting structure provided by this utility model can achieve targeted lifting and lowering adjustments under different navigation conditions by dynamically controlling the relative position of the buoy and the water surface. This allows the buoy to be raised and lifted off the water surface during the voyage of the buoy, significantly reducing the resistance of the water flow to the buoy, reducing energy loss during the propulsion process, increasing the sailing speed, and achieving the effects of drag reduction, energy saving and efficiency improvement.
[0012] When the ship is stationary, the pontoons can be flipped downwards to fully contact the water surface. This increases the lateral width of the ship and the contact area with the water, thereby significantly improving the ship's stability, dispersing the center of gravity, enhancing its resistance to wind and waves, and preventing the risk of the ship's center of gravity shifting or capsizing, thus achieving the effect of increasing stability and resistance to wind and waves.
[0013] In addition, during the turning process, the different swing heights of the pontoons on both sides can be adjusted by the differentiated extension and retraction of the single or double telescopic rods. This utilizes the lateral support force of the pontoons to avoid the hull tilting caused by the small turning angle, prevents capsizing, improves the handling stability and safety during the turning process, and achieves the effect of dynamic balance and anti-capsizing.
[0014] The solution has a relatively simple overall structure, low manufacturing cost, simple assembly process, and is easy to disassemble and assemble. It can be directly adapted to the existing kayak hull without large-scale modification of the hull. It takes into account sailing efficiency, safety and operational flexibility, and is easy to promote and apply in the field of kayaking. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1: This example aims to provide a kayak float tilting and adjustment structure. A kayak float structure refers to an auxiliary device installed on both sides of a kayak to enhance its stability. It is widely used in recreational scenarios such as fishing. It provides additional buoyancy through the float, reducing the risk of capsizing and ensuring the safety of the user when pulling fishing lines or dealing with turbulent water. Existing fixed float structures cannot be dynamically adjusted to adapt to complex water environments and operational needs, and the risk of capsizing remains, restricting the safe application of kayaks in fishing scenarios. This invention proposes a kayak float tilting and adjustment structure that can dynamically adjust the float position to improve the kayak's balance, stability, and adaptability.
[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a buoy tilting adjustment structure includes a crossbar 2 fixed on the hull 1 and adjustment components 4 arranged on the left and right sides of the crossbar 2. In a specific implementation, fixed seats 5 are symmetrically arranged on the hull 1, and a retaining sleeve 6 is provided on the fixed seat 5. The crossbar 2 is fitted into the retaining sleeve 6, and the retaining sleeve 6 is screwed and fixed by bolts to fix the crossbar 2 to the hull 1.
[0019] The outer end of the crossbar 2 is symmetrically provided with adjustment components 4. In this embodiment, the adjustment components 4 include a connecting rod, a vertical rod 44, and a telescopic rod 41. The connecting rod includes an L-shaped bent section 42 and a lifting section 43. The bent section 42 is hinged to the end of the crossbar 2 at one end near the hull 1, and extends vertically downward at the other end away from the hull 1, with the lifting section 43 vertically fixedly connected to its bottom. A hanging strap 7 is fixed on the buoy 3, and the lifting section 43 is fixed to the buoy 3 through the hanging strap 7 to drive the buoy 3 to rotate.
[0020] Furthermore, the upright 44 is vertically fixed at the bend near the corner on the bent part. The top of the upright 44 is provided with a hinge seat, so that the telescopic rod 41 is inclinedly hinged between the crossbar 2 and the upright 44. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 41, the connecting rod is rotated relative to the crossbar 2, thereby driving the float 3 to rotate and adjust relative to the hull 1.
[0021] The Kayak pontoon tilting adjustment structure provided by this utility model, in practical applications, such as... Figure 3 and 4As shown, in the initial state, the bent section 42 is connected to the crossbar 2 in the transverse direction, the telescopic rod 41 is extended, and the float 3 is set parallel to the outside of the hull 1. During the operation, the telescopic rod 41 is driven by the controller to retract inward. The telescopic rod 41 drives the bent section 42 to flip upward relative to the crossbar 2 through the upright rod 44. At the same time, the float 3 is driven to flip upward relative to the hull 1 through the lifting section 43, controlling the float to rise. This helps to reduce the resistance of the hull, greatly saves energy consumption, and increases the speed of the hull.
[0022] When the ship is stationary in the water, the telescopic boom extends outward, causing the buoys to flip downward in the opposite direction and be lowered. This increases the width of the hull, increases the contact area with the water, and improves the overall stability and resistance to wind and waves.
[0023] When the boat needs to turn while traveling on the water, the height of the buoys is adjusted by controlling the telescopic booms on both sides so that one buoy is in contact with the water surface. This prevents the boat from turning too small and capsizing, and ensures the balance and stability of the hull.
[0024] In addition, the telescopic mast in this embodiment is an electrically operated telescopic mast. A control chip and a receiving antenna are also installed inside the hull. The control chip controls the extension and retraction of the mast, and the receiving antenna can receive 2.4GHz signals. Combined with a wireless handheld control device, the operator sits inside the hull facing the direction of travel and controls the propulsion and steering of the hull, as well as adjusting the sway of the pontoons via the telescopic mast. It is convenient to use. In this embodiment, the structure and control principle of the wireless handheld control device, control chip, and receiving antenna are all existing technologies and are not shown in the figures; therefore, they will not be described in detail here.
[0025] The kayak float tilting and adjusting structure provided by this utility model uses floats on both sides of the kayak hull to support the kayak, improve the stability of the kayak, and facilitate the balanced handling of the kayak. Moreover, the tilting and adjusting structure can adjust the different swing heights of the floats, thereby better assisting in the support of the kayak and improving its stability. The structure is simple and highly practical.
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
