Automatic control device of mainsail and maximum boat speed tracking and self-learning control method

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of automatic control of the modern lateen sail. The existing sail automatic control device and method are optimized; and the device structure is improved based on the previous structure and an attitude sensor is added to enhance security, so that the ship is inclined in a safety value range during automatic controlling of the sail. The invention puts forward a maximum boat speed tracking and self-learning control method. According to the method, arrival at a designated position by a sail angle is controlled directly according to wind angle data in a controlled sail data table; self learning is carried out based on changes of different attitudes and sail types of different sailboats or the same sailboat, thereby obtaining proper data of wind angles, wind speeds, heeling angles, trimming angles, sailing speeds, and sail angles of the boats; and the lifelong learning capability is configured. Therefore, the sailboat can obtain the optimal speed by using the wind power to the greatest extent, so that adaptability to more and complicated boat body and environment changes is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic control of modern triangular sail sails, in particular to a mainsail automatic control device using maximum ship speed tracking and self-learning methods. Background technique [0002] Sailing, as a green and fashionable gentleman's sport, has been loved by more and more people, but the operation of sailing, especially the operation of sails, requires skill and experience. Since the structure and performance of each ship are different, different types of ships or different sails used by the same ship will have an impact on the speed performance of the ship. To accurately draw the wind bank angle-wind speed-speed curve of each ship is It's not easy, because there are too many factors that can affect the speed of a sailboat. Usually, it is very complicated to realize the control of the sail under different sailing conditions of the sailboat. The manual control of the sail is mainly by observing the flying ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of these two modes are as follows: First, the sail control data is only based on the wind angle or wind speed, without considering other data such as the ship's inclination

The second is that there is no optimal speed detection system, and the performance of the sail cannot be fully exerted to produce the highest speed.

The third is that the system does not have self-learning and updating functions, and the control program set by the system cannot well adapt to more changes in the environment and sailboats
