Abstract

To enable a vessel and other boats to be efficiently moved and transported without requiring a propeller such as a generator for the vessel or an oar, by coupling a drone, the vessel and other boats with a traction device and moving and transporting the vessel and other boats by propulsion force of the drone.SOLUTION: A drone and a vessel and other boats to be an object of traction are coupled by a traction device such as a rope or a chain and are moved and transported by being towed by propulsion force of the drone. The vessel and other boats are provided with a drone arrival/departure spot and batteries to supply power to the drone. The traction device for coupling the drone and the vessel and other boats also serves for a role of a power line for supplying the power from a battery loaded on the vessel and other boats to the drone. Furthermore, when the series of devices are not used or when the vessel and other boats are not moved or transported (when anchored at the same place), the drone is parked in the drone arrival/departure spot provided on the vessel and other boats. Thus, efficient movement and transportation of the vessel and other boats is obtained.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

The present invention relates to a series of devices for towing ships and other boats using drones.

The problem to be solved makes it possible to efficiently tow and move ships and other ships using the drone propulsion force without using propulsion devices such as motors or oars for ships. It is a point.

The present invention efficiently pulls and moves and transports ships and other boats without using propulsion devices such as engines for motors or oars. The most important feature is that it is connected by a tractor such as a chain, and towed by the propulsive force of the drone to move and carry. Ships and other boats will be equipped with a drone landing site and a battery to supply power to the drone. The tractor that connects the drone to the ship or other boat also serves as a power line for supplying power to the drone from a battery mounted on the ship or other boat. In addition, when not using this series of devices or when moving or carrying a ship or other boat (when moored at the same place), park the drone at the drone landing area provided for the ship or other boat. Keep it.

The advantage of the present invention is that even if a ship or other boat does not have a motor or a propeller such as an oar, the ship and the other boat are connected to each other by a tractor such as a rope or a chain to promote the drone. By pulling and moving and transporting by force, it is not necessary to attach a motor for a ship to a ship or other boat itself, and it is not necessary to use a propulsion device such as an oar to propel it.

A series of towing vessels and other boats using drones for the purpose of connecting vessels and other boats and drones with tractors such as ropes and chains, and towing and moving with hauling power of the drones. apparatus. (Example 1)

The purpose of combining a drone and a ship or other boat, and towing, moving and carrying the ship or other boat by the propulsive force of the drone has been achieved with the minimum number of parts and without impairing the function of each part.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of one embodiment of the device of the present invention, in which 1 is a water bottom, 2 is a water surface, 3 is a ship or other boat, 4 is a drone, 5 is a tractor such as a rope or a chain (a transmission line is 6 is a battery mounted on a ship or other boat for supplying electric power to the drone from the ship or other boat, and 7 is a drone landing/field installed on the ship or other boat.

Drone is not particularly limited in its form.

The movement and transportation of conventional ships and other boats have been mainly by means of ships with engines or propulsion devices such as oars. However, with the introduction of a series of devices for towing ships and other boats by drones, it becomes easy to tow and move and carry ships and other boats that do not have a motor, oar, or other propulsive force, and move and carry efficiently. This will benefit fishers, shipping companies, marine leisure companies, etc. Therefore, it can be used in these wide fields.

Claims (1)

In the means of towing, moving and carrying vessels and other boats that do not have propulsion equipment such as motors and oars, drones, tractors such as ropes and chains (also serving as power lines), drone landing sites and It is equipped with a ship or other boat equipped with a battery for supplying electric power to the drone, and the drone is connected to the target ship or other boat with a tractor such as a rope or a chain, and towed by the drone's propulsion force. A series of devices for towing a ship or other watercraft by drone, whose main characteristics are moving and transporting.
