[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0019] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 Describes a ship 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-5As shown, the boat 100 of this utility model embodiment includes: a first hull 1 and a second hull 2. A first power terminal 11 is provided at the rear of the first hull 1. A power battery 22 is provided inside the second hull 2. A second power terminal 21 is provided at the front of the second hull 2. The second power terminal 21 is connected to the power battery 22. The second power terminal 21 is selectively connected to and disconnected from the first power terminal 11.

[0021] Specifically, the vessel 100 is mainly composed of a first hull 1 and a second hull 2. A first power terminal 11 is provided at the rear of the first hull 1, which facilitates the input of current to the first hull 1. A power battery 22 is provided inside the second hull 2, which can store a large amount of electrical energy.

[0022] The second hull 2 ​​has a second power terminal 21 at its front, which is connected to a power battery 22. This allows the power battery 22 to output stored electrical energy through the second power terminal 21. The second power terminal 21 is selectively connected to and disconnected from the first power terminal 11; that is, the second power terminal 21 can be connected to the first power terminal 11, or it can be disconnected. When the second power terminal 21 is connected to the first power terminal 11, the power battery 22 of the second hull 2 ​​can transfer electrical energy to the first power terminal 11 through the second power terminal 21, enabling the second hull 2 ​​to charge the first hull 1. This provides more power to the first hull 1 and increases its range, allowing it to travel further. Furthermore, due to the connection between the second power terminal 21 and the first power terminal 11, the second hull 2, equipped with the power battery 22, can also quickly supply power to the first hull 1.

[0023] When the second power terminal 21 is disconnected from the first power terminal 11, the second hull 2 ​​can travel to the charging station for charging, preparing for the next charging of the first hull 1. The first hull 1 does not need to travel to the charging station for charging, thus avoiding the waiting time for the first hull 1 to charge.

[0024] Furthermore, a first power terminal 11 is located at the rear of the first hull 1, and a second power terminal 21 is located at the front of the second hull 2. When the first power terminal 11 and the second power terminal 21 are connected, the distance between them can be reduced, thus facilitating their connection. Also, the second hull 2 ​​is connected to the rear of the first hull 1. When the first hull 1 and the second hull 2 ​​are sailing, they are aligned in a straight line, which reduces drag, saves energy, and increases range.

[0025] Therefore, the selective connection and disconnection of the second power terminal 21 and the first power terminal 11 in the ship 100 can not only make the first hull 1 more powerful, but also increase the range of the first hull 1 and reduce the waiting time for the first hull 1 to be charged.

[0026] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, the first power terminal 11 is configured as one of a power socket and a power plug, and the second power terminal 21 is configured as the other of a power socket and a power plug, and the power socket and the power plug are selectively plugged in and out.

[0027] The first power terminal 11 is configured as either a power socket or a power plug, and the second power terminal 21 is configured as either a power socket or a power plug. That is, when the first power terminal 11 is configured as a power socket, the second power terminal 21 is configured as a power plug. When the first power terminal 11 is configured as a power plug, the second power terminal 21 is configured as a power socket.

[0028] Furthermore, the power socket and power plug can be selectively plugged in and out. When the power socket and power plug are plugged in, the second hull 2 ​​can supply power to the first hull 1. When the power socket and power plug are disconnected, the second hull 2 ​​can easily access a power station for recharging.

[0029] Furthermore, the insertion and connection of the power socket and the power plug are relatively quick, allowing for rapid connection and preventing reverse insertion, thus improving safety.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, a first electrode 3 is provided at the bottom of the power socket, and a second electrode 4 is provided at the head of the power plug. The first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are arranged opposite to each other in the insertion direction of the power plug, and the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are selectively connected and disconnected.

[0031] The first electrode 3 includes a first positive electrode and a first negative electrode, and the second electrode 4 includes a second positive electrode and a second negative electrode. When the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are arranged in opposite directions, the first positive electrode and the second positive electrode are connected, and the first negative electrode and the second negative electrode are connected. During insertion, the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 directly face each other, forming an axial pressure contact. The contact force is stable, the contact resistance is low, and eccentricity and incomplete connection can be avoided, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 and realizing the power supply from the second hull 2 ​​to the first hull 1. When the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 are disconnected, the power supply from the second hull 2 ​​to the first hull 1 can be disconnected.

[0032] Furthermore, a first communication connector 5 is provided at the bottom of the power socket, and a second communication connector 6 is provided at the head of the power plug. The first communication connector 5 and the second communication connector 6 are arranged opposite to each other in the insertion direction of the power plug, and the first communication connector 5 and the second communication connector 6 are selectively connected and disconnected.

[0033] When the first communication connector 5 and the second communication connector 6 are connected, the second hull 2 ​​and the first hull 1 can communicate, thereby transmitting charging and power-off information. For example, if the first hull 1 is equipped with the first communication connector 5 and the second hull 2 ​​is equipped with the second communication connector 6, when the first hull 1 does not need to be charged, the first communication connector 5 of the first hull 1 can transmit a stop charging signal to the second communication connector 6 of the second hull 2, thereby disconnecting the circuit connection between the second hull 2 ​​and the first hull 1.

[0034] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, the first power terminal 11 is configured as a power socket, and the second power terminal 21 is configured as a power plug. The power plug is detachably mounted on the second hull 2 ​​so that it can be aligned with the power socket.

[0035] The power connector is vertically mounted on the second hull 2, meaning it can move up and down. Depending on the draft of the first hull 1, the position of the power connector on the second hull 2 ​​can be adjusted according to the position of the power socket on the first hull 1. For example, the second hull 2 ​​is equipped with a vision sensor that can accurately identify the position of the power socket, thus enabling accurate connection between the power connector and the power socket.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-8 As shown, the second hull 2 ​​is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which is connected to the power plug, so that the power plug can be selectively raised or lowered.

[0037] Specifically, the second hull 2 ​​is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which includes a drive motor and a transmission chain. One end of the transmission chain is connected to the drive motor, and the other end is connected to a power plug. In this way, the drive motor can pull the transmission chain to move up or down. Since the other end of the transmission chain is connected to the power plug, the power plug can also move up or down.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power plug is provided with one of the locking structure 7 and the locking part, and the power socket is provided with the other of the locking structure 7 and the locking part. When the power socket and the power plug are plugged in, the locking structure 7 and the locking part lock in place in the plugging direction of the power plug.

[0039] The power plug is provided with one of the locking structure 7 and the locking part, and the power socket is provided with the other of the locking structure 7 and the locking part. That is to say, when the power plug is provided with the locking structure 7, the power socket is provided with the corresponding locking part, and when the power plug is provided with the locking part, the power socket is provided with the corresponding locking structure 7.

[0040] Furthermore, when the power socket and the power plug are connected, the locking structure 7 and the locking part are locked in their axial direction, which makes the connection between the locking structure 7 and the locking part more stable and secure.

[0041] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the bottom of the first hull 1 is provided with at least two propulsion groups 12 spaced apart in the fore-and-aft direction. Each propulsion group 12 includes at least one first propulsion device 121. The first hull 1 is provided with a control module, which is electrically connected to the multiple propulsion groups respectively, so as to selectively control at least one propulsion group to work.

[0042] Specifically, the bottom of the first hull 1 is provided with at least two propulsion groups 12 spaced apart in the front and rear directions. That is, the propulsion group 12 is provided at the front of the bottom of the first hull 1, and the propulsion group 12 is also provided at the rear of the bottom of the first hull 1. When the first hull 1 needs to brake, the two propulsion groups 12 at the bottom of the first hull 1 can generate resistance against the water, thereby shortening the braking distance.

[0043] Furthermore, the arrangement of at least two propulsion groups 12 can increase the power of the first hull 1 and extend its service life. When one propulsion group 12 is damaged, the other propulsion group 12 can still work normally, thereby improving the safety of the first hull 1.

[0044] Furthermore, each propulsion group 12 includes at least one first propulsion device 121, which provides propulsion to the first hull 1. Moreover, the first hull 1 is equipped with a control module electrically connected to multiple propulsion groups, allowing the control module to control the operating parameters of the multiple propulsion groups, such as their rotational speed or direction.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the first propulsion device 121 is retractably mounted on the bottom of the first hull 1.

[0046] It is understood that the first propulsion device 121 can extend out of the bottom of the first hull 1 or be retracted into the bottom of the first hull 1. When the first propulsion device 121 extends out of the bottom of the first hull 1, it can provide the first hull 1 with the power to move and control the direction of the first hull 1's movement.

[0047] When the first propulsion device 121 is retracted into the bottom of the first hull 1, it can prevent the first propulsion device 121 from being damaged by dark objects in front of the first hull 1 when it is approaching the shore or moving forward, thereby protecting the first propulsion device 121.

[0048] Furthermore, the first propulsion device 121 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the first hull 1. For example, the first propulsion device 121 can rotate 360°. By changing the rotation angle of the first propulsion device 121, the direction of movement of the first hull 1 can be changed, thereby controlling the direction of movement of the first hull 1.

[0049] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the first propulsion device 121 includes a drive motor and a propeller blade, with the drive motor connected to the first power terminal 11. The propeller blade is driven by the drive motor, and the surface of the propeller blade is provided with a dolphin-skin textured structure.

[0050] The first propulsion device 121 mainly consists of a drive motor and propeller blades. The propeller blades are propellers. For example, two propeller blades can be arranged in both the fore-and-aft directions at the bottom of the first hull 1, and each propeller blade corresponds to a motor, so that each motor can provide power to each propeller blade. In addition, the drive motor is connected to the first power terminal 11, so that the electrical energy of the power battery 22 of the second hull 2 ​​passes through the second power terminal 21 and the first power terminal 11 in sequence to power the drive motor, thereby enabling the drive motor to drive the propeller blades to rotate, and also to achieve the purpose of synchronous sailing and synchronous charging between the second hull 2 ​​and the first hull 1.

[0051] When the first hull 1 is sailing under low load, the propeller blades at the rear of the first hull 1 are used preferentially. When the first hull 1 is sailing under high load, both the front and rear propeller blades of the first hull 1 can be used, thereby increasing the pitch and boosting the thrust.

[0052] Furthermore, the blades are equipped with an automatic anti-tangling cleaning device. When the blades become tangled, the device can rotate the tangled material, thereby detaching the blades from the tangled material. Alternatively, the automatic anti-tangling cleaning device can use high-pressure water jets, utilizing the impact force of the water to detach the blades from the tangled material.

[0053] Furthermore, the control module can support remote monitoring and fault early warning, and the control module can have multi-level adjustable blades, thereby allowing adjustment of blade parameters.

[0054] Furthermore, the blade surface is designed with a dolphin-skin texture, which reduces turbulence resistance, thereby saving energy and reducing energy consumption, thus increasing the driving range.

[0055] Furthermore, the blades are made of carbon fiber composite materials, which have the advantages of being lightweight and corrosion-resistant. They also have good rigidity and fatigue resistance, thus extending the service life of the blades.

[0056] Moreover, the blades are made of carbon fiber composite materials and have internal damping characteristics, which can absorb vibration energy and thus reduce the vibration transmission during the blade rotation process.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first hull 1 is provided with a backup power battery, which is connected to the first power terminal 11.

[0058] The first hull 1 is equipped with a backup power battery. When the power battery 22 of the second hull 2 ​​is low in power, the first hull 1 can use the backup power battery to provide power when the second hull 2 ​​is detached from the first hull 1, thus satisfying the power requirement for the first hull 1 to continue driving.

[0059] Furthermore, backup power batteries can be independently spaced at intervals within the first hull 1, ensuring that if one backup power battery fails, the other can continue operating, allowing the first hull 1 to continue sailing. While sailing, the first hull 1 prioritizes the power supply from the second hull 2. When the first hull 1 detaches from the second hull 2, if the battery level of the first hull 1 drops below a preset threshold while sailing alone, the first hull 1 can send a wireless signal to the second hull 2, waking it up to dock and begin charging.

[0060] Furthermore, once the second hull 2's battery is depleted, it automatically detaches from the first hull 1 and travels to a shore to recharge. After fully charging, it waits at the shore for the first hull 1, which has a low battery, to pass by, then automatically drives over to recharge it. The second hull 2 ​​can continuously follow the first hull 1, simultaneously replenishing its battery to increase its range. After reaching the next charging station, the second hull 2 ​​can actively drive to a shore to recharge. While the second hull 2 ​​is recharging, the first hull 1 uses its own backup power battery, and the second hull 2 ​​uses its own power battery 22.

[0061] Furthermore, a second propulsion device 23 is provided at the bottom of the second hull 2, which can propel the second hull 2 ​​to move. The second propulsion device 23 can provide the second hull 2 ​​with the power to move, and can also change the direction of movement of the second hull 2.

[0062] Moreover, the streamlined catamaran structure of the first hull 1 and the second hull 2 ​​can reduce water resistance, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the first hull 1 and the second hull 2.
