Technical Field

The invention relates to a marine vessel which is used especially in the maritime industry and has the ability to float under and above water and to easily perform the acrobatic movements desired by the passengers or users.

State of the Art

Nowadays, in the individual dives and underwater sports, it is possible to go a certain distance below the water level in lakes, streams and seas. Particularly in the individual dives, the divers can stay under water for an average of 5-10 seconds and some of the diver’s snorkels (diving mask) can rise above the water level.

In the state of the art, the underwater and surface vessels are used to move in and on the water using the internal combustion gasoline and diesel engines. Particularly with the internal combustion engines, the individual divers stay underwater for a maximum of 5-10 seconds. Since the time is short and more air is needed, the efficiency of the time spent in water is quite low.

The marine vessels in the state of the art generally operate in a two-dimensional plane. The currently used underwater and surface vessels can only move in a certain plane on the water. Therefore, it reduces the mobility of the user and the vessel.

In another document no. US5237952 in the state of the art, a marine vessel with the positive static buoyancy is described, which can be operated as both a hydrofoil and a submersible boat. The invention included in said document does not comprise a sealing unit, oxygen tubes, pulse band and inflatable boat systems.

In the state of the art, in the product in the link ht 3://www.vulcaniasubmarine.com/THE%2QBIONIC%2QDOLPHIN.htm, the first underwater vessel performing the real “underwater flight” is described. Said product is different from the product of the invention due to its physical structure, technical elements and structural differences, and the number of the users being only 2. of the Invention

The invention relates to a marine vessel which is used especially in the maritime industry and has the ability to float under and/or above water and to easily perform the acrobatic movements desired by the passengers and/or users.

The marine vessel of the invention can stay under water for approximately 20-40 seconds due to the water-cooled feature of the electrical engine therein.

Minimizing the friction of the vessel of the invention with the water when diving and surfacing allows it to surface more easily. In addition, since the invention has a movable structure, it can easily perform any acrobatic movement requested by the users or passengers.

The sealing unit, oxygen tubes, pulse band and inflatable boat of the vessel of the invention allow it to move to a safer environment in case of a possible danger.

Thanks to said sealing unit (2.2), water is prevented from filling into the compartments in which the passengers and engine (5) structures are located when the marine vessel (10) dives. Said sealing unit (2.2) can be controlled manually or automatically. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing unit (2.2) is a gasket. During the diving of the marine vessel (10), the sealing unit (2.2) is inflated with an air compressor (not shown in the figures) to ensure that no water enters the cabin compartment.

During the period until an emergency assistance request is made and intervention is made in the case of a possible major malfunction of the system, said oxygen tubes (2.3) are used to be given to the passengers or users in case of any negative situation and a decrease in the oxygen amount in the cabin.

The first ventilation unit (7.1 ) and the second ventilation unit (7.2) provide the air flow of the users and passengers in the vessel (10) and the engine (5) construction. Said ventilation units are folded onto the upper body (2), reducing the vessel’s contact with the water underwater and increasing its speed and acrobatic mobility. The first ventilation unit (7.1 ) and the second ventilation unit (7.2) have a manually or automatically foldable structure.

The pulse bands (8) can monitor the sudden rhythmic changes, which may occur in the passengers or users while the vessel is moving, via the control screen (25) in the cabin. In case of a sudden change in the heart pulse rhythm of the user or passenger, a warning is given on the screen and the engine (5) stops. Said pulse bands (8) are positioned on the sides of the user and/or passenger and/or under the seats and/or on the control handle.

Said first view screen (13.1 ) provides the users or passengers with a right and left lateral 360-degree viewing angle. The second view screen (13.2) provides the underwater vision. The second view screen (13.2) and the first view screen (13.1 ) are made of glass fiber, but it is not limited thereto in practice. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the marine vessel (10) comprises at least four first view screens (13.1) and at least four second view screens (13.2).

Said inflatable boat (22) is in a foldable form. It has an appearance that is unnoticeable unless you look carefully from the outside. Said inflatable boat (22) is used in case of physical damages such as puncture of the hull, ingestion of large amounts of water, or violent collision in case of a possible accident. In said possible accident situations, in said marine vessel (10) the pneumatic safety valve (not shown in the figures) that provides the internal and external water tightness is disabled and at least one cover of the inflatable boat (22) is opened, and said boats (22) are inflated with at least one air compressor (not shown in the figures) inside and used, thus ensuring life safety with the inflatable boat.

Said balance unit (24) ensures that the vessel remains stable and moves smoothly while on the water.

Said marine vessel (10) operates on electric and/or diesel and/or gasoline. It comprises an electrical engine (not shown in the figures) that provides the electrical operation. Additionally, the invention has at least one battery for charging the electrical engine. Said batteries can charge themselves via the engine or with at least one external energy system. For example, the charging can be provided with the solar energy.

The control screen (25) provides the communication, connection and control with other marine vessels. In this way, the possible moments of danger can be easily prevented. In case of emergency, you can easily contact the relevant units.

The imaging unit (11) provides the control of the sealing unit (2.2) and/or the first ventilation unit (7.1) and/or the second ventilation unit (7.2) and/or the engine (5). This control provides extra security to the marine vessel (10).

Said upper body (2) comprises a segmented structure formed by fixing the engine compartment access cover and the cockpit entrance cover with the locks (not shown in the figures). This structure minimizes the friction of the vessel (10) with the water when diving and surfacing, allowing it to surface more easily and perform the acrobatic movements easily.

The front flanks, rear flanks and water jet outlet (not shown in the figures) of the marine vessel have a movable structure. The front flanks move with the help of the handles on the right and left sides of the user. These handles move up and down. They help the vessel (10) to perform various acrobatic movements while surfacing.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least two seats (9) are positioned successively in the same direction, but it is not limited thereto in practice. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, at least four seats (9) are positioned successively in groups of two and in the same direction.

The marine vessel (10) has a cylindrical structure and its center of gravity (not shown in the figures) is located on the lower base (4), ensuring that said lower base (4) remains flat on and under the water after all activities to be carried out with the vessel (10). For example, with the invention, all movements made by a fish can be performed.

The Bluetooth connection in the sound unit (2.1 ) of the marine vessel (10) enables the users and/or passengers to listen to music while diving and driving. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the motion control unit (12) is at least one pedal.

Said marine vessel (10) comprises a display unit (21.1 ) that shows the fill rate of the fuel tank used in internal combustion engines, which is a preferred embodiment of the invention.

The first control unit (15) provides the mechanical control of the front flank system (not shown in the figures) of the marine vessel (10).

Said turbine (6) enables the marine vessel (10) to move forward with the force of the water.

The camera (not shown in the figures) contained in the marine vessel (10) of the invention enables the user or passengers to be recorded while driving.
