Further, the bottom shell of a conventional inflatable boat is a flat shell, not facilitating breaking waves. In consequence, the speed of a conventional inflatable boat is limited. Further, a conventional inflatable boat may turn over easily when sailing at a high speed. Further, the drive unit for use in a conventional inflatable board is a fuel injection engine for driving a propeller directly. A fuel injection engine consumes much fuel oil during operation. It cannot be used to store compressed gas for inflating the inflatable boat.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a ship structure, which uses a collapsible ship hull that defines therein multiple independent air chambers separately inflatable.

The ship hull comprises left and right garboard strakes arranged at a bottom side, left and right side strakes symmetrically arranged at opposing left and right sides, a plurality of connection strips joining the left and right garboard strakes and the side strakes, a floor plate horizontally connected between the left and right side strakes and suspending above the left and right garboard strakes, a lower stretcher plate and an upper stretcher plate connected between the left and right side strakes and suspending above the floor plate at different elevations. The left and right garboard strakes, the side strakes and the lower and upper stretcher plates are inflatable fabric plate members each comprising two cover layers peripherally sealed, an air chamber surrounded by the peripherally sealed cover layers, and a plurality of fiber strips evenly distributed in the air chamber and connected between the two cover layers.
- Further, the left and right garboard strakes are joined together, forming a bottom shell of the ship hull. The bottom shell has a substantially V-shaped front part for breaking the waves and a flat rear part for floating on water.
- The ship structure further comprises a portable box arranged at a rear side o f the ship hull, a drive unit steering control motor mounted at a mount outside the portable box, a rotary wheel supported on the mount of the portable box and rotatable by the drive unit steering control motor, a drive unit supported on the rotary wheel, a propeller suspending outside the ship hull and rotatable by the drive unit to propel the ship hull on water. The drive unit comprises a cowling cowl, a fuel injection engine mounted inside the cowling cowl, a control unit, an air compressor operable by the fuel injection engine subject to the control of the control unit, and a pneumatic motor rotatable by the air compressor. Further, the ship hull is equipped with a plurality of high pressure gas cylinders that are accommodated in between the left and right garboard strakes and the floor plate for storing the high pressure gas produced by the air compressor and inflating the air chambers of the left and right garboard strakes, side strakes and lower and upper stretcher plates.

FIGS. 1-4 , a ship structure in accordance with the present invention is shown comprising a ship hull that comprises left andright garboard strakes 1 arranged at the bottom side, left andright side strakes 2 symmetrically arranged at opposing left and right sides, a plurality ofconnection strips 5 joining the left andright garboard strakes 1 and theside strakes 2, alower stretcher plate 4 horizontally connected between the left andright side strakes 2 at a front side above the left andright garboard strakes 1, anupper stretcher plate 3 horizontally connected between the left andright side strakes 2 and spaced above thelower stretcher plate 4 and defining anopening 33 for the mounting of a cabin (not shown), and afloor plate 43 horizontally connected between the left andright side strakes 2 and suspending between the left andright garboard strakes 1 and thelower stretcher plate 4. - The left and
right garboard strakes 1, theside strakes 2, theupper stretcher plate 3 and thelower stretcher plate 4 are inflatable fabric plate members each comprising twocover layers 11;21;31;41 peripherally sealed, anair chamber 12;22;32;42 surrounded by the peripherally sealedcover layers 11;21;31;41, and a plurality offiber strips 6 evenly distributed in theair chamber 12;22;32;42 and connected between the twocover layers 11;21;31;41 to reinforce the structural strength (seeFIG. 4-1 ). Thefiber strips 6 in each of the left andright garboard strakes 1, theside strakes 2, theupper stretcher plate 3 and thelower stretcher plate 4 divide the air chamber of the respective strake or plate into multiple air cells in air communication with one another. Thus, when theair chambers 12;22;32;42 are inflated, the ship has a high strength and can carry a heavy load to sail on river, lake or sea. Further, even if one of theair chambers 12;22;32;42 leaks, the ship still will not sink. Further, the left andright garboard strakes 1 are joined together, forming the ship skull's bottom shell that has a substantially V-shaped front part 13 that facilitates breaking the waves and a flatrear part 14 that facilitates sailing of the ship with less resistance (seeFIG. 5 ). Further, theair chambers 12;22;32;42 can also be filled with a foam material. - The ship structure further comprises a
portable box 7 arranged at the tail (stern) of the ship hull thereof, a drive unitsteering control motor 72 mounted at amount 71 outside theportable box 7, arotary wheel 73 rotatable by the drive unitsteering control motor 72, adrive unit 8 supported on therotary wheel 73, apropeller 74 suspending below themount 71 outside of the ship hull of the ship structure and rotatable by thedrive unit 8. Thedrive unit 8 comprises acowling cowl 81, afuel injection engine 82, acontrol unit 83, anair compressor 84, and apneumatic motor 85. When starting thefuel injection engine 82, theair compressor 84 will be driven to produce high pressure gas for driving thepneumatic motor 85 to rotate thepropeller 74, thereby propelling the ship forwards. Further, afirst valve 851 is connected between thepneumatic motor 85 and theair compressor 84 for the input of the high pressure gas produced by theair compressor 84 into thepneumatic motor 85 subject to the control of thecontrol unit 83; asecond valve 861 is connected between thepneumatic motor 85 and the highpressure gas cylinders 86 in between the left andright garboard strakes 1 and thefloor plate 43 and controlled by thecontrol unit 83 to let the high pressure gas produced by theair compressor 84 be stored in the highpressure gas cylinders 86. Further, if the air pressure of each of theair chambers 12;22;32;42 is insufficient, the respective one of theair chambers 12;22;32;42 can be inflated with the highpressure gas cylinders 86, assuring a high level of sailing safety (seeFIG. 3 ,FIG. 6 ,FIG. 7 andFIG. 8 ). Further, by means of controlling the drive unitsteering control motor 72 to rotate therotary wheel 73 clockwise or counter-clockwise, thedrive unit 8 can be rotated to the desired angle, achieving steering control of the ship. Further, when air is fully discharged out of theair chambers 12;22;32;42, the ship hull can be collapsed and received in theportable box 7, facilitating storage or delivery (seeFIG. 9 ). - In conclusion, the invention provides a ship structure, which is inflatable and strong, facilitating steering control. The ship structure defines therein multiple independent air chambers separately inflatable. Therefore, the ship structure does not sink even one of the multiple independent air chambers leaks. Further, high pressure air cylinders are provided in the bottom side inside of the ship structure and can be used to inflate each of the multiple independent air chambers.
- Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
