<Citation of related application>
This disclosure is devised by the application number submitted to the China National Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on June 21, 2018, 2018106444317.7, the invention name is "Underwater Booster", and the Chinese patent application and application number is 201820960893.8. The name claims all interests in the Chinese utility model application for "Underwater Booster", the full text of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The present disclosure relates generally to the technical field of underwater equipment. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to underwater boosters.

In a related technique, an underwater booster is a tool that provides an auxiliary propulsion force to an underwater worker, improving the moving speed and working efficiency in water.

Currently, there are few types of related products in Japan and overseas, and the main design method for existing products is a single propulsion device. The single propeller generally has one large cabin for accommodating the power supply, control circuit, motor, etc., and a double handle is provided on the upper front part of the cabin. A propeller and nacelle are provided at the upper rear part of the cabin.

In the process of realizing the present disclosure, the inventors have determined that the propulsion device is located below the diver during actual use due to the design method of the product of the type, and the diver is a human body of the propulsion device. The efficiency of the propulsion device is maximized by constantly pressing the steering wheel with the force of the arm so as to avoid the water flow due to driving, and the moment due to the thrust line and the human body line being not on the same straight line is continuously maintained. I found that the experience of the human machine was not good because it had to be offset by the power of my arm.

On the other hand, the present disclosure describes the cabin, a first propulsion mounting structure and a second propulsion mounting structure for gripping that are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cabin, and a first connection structure that is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cabin. The first propulsion mounting structure is connected to the cabin via the first connecting structure, the second propulsion mounting structure is connected to the cabin via the second connecting structure, and the second connecting structure is included. The one-connection structure and / or the second connection structure is provided with a handle for gripping, and the axis of the first propulsion mounting structure is not parallel to the axis of the second propulsion mounting structure. Provide boosters.

Thereby, the present disclosure provides an underwater booster with a double propulsion structure. Since the axes of the double propulsion mounting structure are not parallel, the direction of the thrust resultant force generated after mounting the double propulsion and the human body line are basically located in the same straight line, so the thrust line and the human body line are basically aligned with each other. It is not necessary to cancel the moment generated by not being on the same straight line, and the user can control the booster underwater by grasping the connection structure and operate it in the direction specified by the user. The experience is good.

In some embodiments, the axis of the first propulsion mount and the axis of the second propulsion mount intersect in the direction of travel of the booster, and the power range of the intersecting angles is (0,60). include.

As a result, by installing the propeller mounting structure so that the axes intersect in the traveling direction, it is possible to inject the water flow generated by the operation of the propulsion unit to both sides of the human body after mounting the propulsion unit. It becomes difficult to give an impact. With this arrangement, the human body does not interfere with the water flow generated by the operation of the propulsion device, and the efficiency of the propulsion device can be maximized.

In some embodiments, the human body, arms and thrust lines can be positioned essentially in the same plane, resulting in a good human machine experience.

In some embodiments, by controlling the range of the angle, the human body can be prevented from obstructing the water flow due to the operation of the propeller, and the magnitude of the thrust directly behind the last formed also has a small effect. I will not receive it.

When provided in a multi-rod shape, the connection structure is more stable, less likely to break, and has a longer life.

In some embodiments, the first and second connections include a "work" shape.

As a result, the connection structure is relatively stable, and at the same time, by installing the handle position in the vertical part of the "work" shape, it can be gripped more naturally during use, further improving the user experience. Can be done.

In some embodiments, the first and second connections include a "T" and an inverted "T".

As a result, the connection structure is simpler and lighter, and at the same time, by installing the handle in the vertical portion of the "T" shape, it can be gripped more naturally during use, and the feel is better.

As a result, the integral molding is easy to manufacture, and by forming a specific angle, the overall structure can be made more beautiful and the accommodation length required for the entire can be reduced.

In some embodiments, the first and second connection structures and the connection relationship between the cabin can both rotate around the central axis of the cabin and achieve self-locking at at least one preset position. Will be installed.

As a result, the connection structure is adjusted, and by realizing self-locking at a preset position, the connection structure can be adjusted to an appropriate position according to one's own needs when the user uses it.

In some embodiments, when either the first connection structure or the second connection structure is rotated, the other connection structures of the first connection structure and the second connection structure are synchronously rotated and the first connection is rotated. It can be maintained that the structure and the second connection structure are always symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cabin.

As a result, it is possible to realize the interlocking of two connection structures only by adjusting one of the connection structures. As such, it is easy to use and is always symmetrical with respect to the cabin between the connection structures and does not affect the user's underwater experience.

In some embodiments, both the first connection structure and the second connection structure have a telescopic sleeve structure, and the first connection structure and the second connection structure can be stretched and reduced.

Thereby, the connection structure is provided so that it can be stretched and reduced so that different users can customize it according to their needs.
