Abstract

Almost energy self-sufficient houseboat, completely independent of the water supply and disposal with integrated push boat, characterized in that the push boat (2) with the houseboat (1) for driving as a mini push-fit form-fitting with a detachable mechanical as well as electrical and control technology connection in the form of a Three-point storage can be docked in the corresponding recess in the stern area of the houseboat.

Description

The world's first houseboat is to be registered as a utility model, which is almost completely self-sufficient in terms of energy, regardless of the water supply and disposal, is fully electrically powered and can be operated up to control via a smartphone or tablet. The core of the invention is certainly the integrated motor yacht, which is the main drive of the houseboat. This can be uncoupled and maneuvered solo at the destination reached. If the journey continues, the yacht is docked again as a push boat in the houseboat. The houseboat then operates as a mini-thruster association. Of course, the houseboat is maneuverable and drivable alone.

So far, houseboat captains have been forced to maneuver through large canals, locks and harbor basins with the large and mostly unwieldy houseboat, or to carry along another boat, which then also requires another berth, in order to explore the city or the area at the destination of the trip, for example Doing shopping is now a thing of the past. When the destination is reached, the push boat is uncoupled and becomes an independent day cruiser so that you can comfortably make all trips in the area.

Houseboats themselves are widely known today. Self-driving motor boats as well. The electric drive of such watercraft is slowly beginning to take hold.

What is new in this development according to protection claim 1 is that the electrically driven motor boat for the journey with the likewise electrically driven houseboat is mechanically, electrically and electronically (in terms of control technology) connected to the houseboat and then serves as the main drive. This connection in the form of a three-point bearing ensures a firm and yet flexible coupling of both vehicles. This takes place in a form-fitting and almost identical manner in the matching recess in the stern of the houseboat. At the same time, the holding pliers on the right and left of the motor boat serve to electrically connect the two units, for example to charge the push boat's batteries. The electronic connection of the control of the houseboat with that of the yacht takes place via a plug-in connection in the bow of the push boat as part of the front connection via the two holding mandrels or optionally wirelessly via wifi or bluetooth. In addition, the possibility is provided to remotely control the houseboat as well as the day cruiser together or individually with a smartphone or tablet, in addition to the usual control via the steering position, as shown in protection claim 2. The almost complete self-sufficiency of the power supply is achieved through the use of large-scale solar cells on the roof, two wind generators and the recuperation capability of the drives, as well as a generously dimensioned energy store. The solar thermal system installed in the stern coupled with a heat exchange system for heat generation ensures the heating or optional cooling of the houseboat. The osmosis filter system and the on-board sewage treatment plant ensure independence from the water supply and disposal. These subject areas can be found in protection claims 3 and 4.

The design is also unique and allows a variety of solutions in use.

The houseboat offers the option of using an additional, closed space in the area of the upper deck, the roof of which, together with the surrounding glazing, is reduced by the driving resistance and a lower headroom under bridges can be lowered (see protection claim 6). The cabins can be converted from a bedroom with a bed to a room with a table, chairs and a bench that can be used during the day. In the salon, various arrangements can be easily made with the movable sofas and a sliding table. In the wet rooms, elements such as the washbasin and the cabinet are designed to be rotatable in order to maximize the space for the respective use (showering, washing or using the toilet), as summarized in protection claim 7.

In addition to the new developments, many well-known components from boat building, furniture design, control technology, energy technology and water supply and disposal are intelligently re-linked with this houseboat.
