JINPAT Gas-Liquid Slip Ring:Integrated Electrical, Optical, and Fluid Paths for Uninterrupted Transmission.
In the global pursuit of green shipping, modern sail-assisted propulsion systems have become an innovative technology for reducing emissions and costs on large vessels. These systems are no longer simply masts and sails, but sophisticated devices integrating aerodynamics, automatic control, and IoT technologies. Among these, the slip ring—a key component connecting the rotating sail to the fixed hull—is of paramount importance. The JINPAT LPPG series of gas-hydraulic-electro-hydraulic hybrid slip rings is a comprehensive solution designed to address this complex challenge.
1.High Integration: One-Piece Design, Simplified System
Traditional sails require the rotating parts to transmit power and signals simultaneously, typically necessitating separate installation of pneumatic/hydraulic and electrical slip rings, resulting in complex structures, large space requirements, and low reliability. JINPAT LPPG addresses this challenge with a highly integrated "All-in-One" design, achieving unified power and control.
Pneumatic/Hydraulic Channel: Transmits compressed air or hydraulic oil, providing power for sail adjustment and deployment.
Electrical Channel: Provides continuous power to the drive motor, sensors, and control system.
Fiber Optic Path: Supports high-speed, interference-resistant data transmission between mast-top sensors and onboard systems.
The integrated structure significantly simplifies the system architecture, reduces the number of rotating interfaces, lowers installation complexity and failure risk, and ensures stable and reliable sail operation.
2.Robust and Durable: Stainless Steel Shell, Unfazed by Marine Environments
Ships operate in harsh environments with high salinity and humidity, demanding extremely high corrosion resistance from equipment. JINPAT LPPG utilizes high-quality stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability in marine environments.
Full Stainless Steel Casing: Constructed of stainless steel, effectively resisting sea salt corrosion and weathering.
Long-Term Stability: The robust casing extends product lifespan, reduces maintenance needs due to corrosion, and enhances the long-term value of the equipment.
Application Value: Empowering Smart Sails for a Greener Voyage
In practical applications, sail systems equipped with JINPAT LPPG slip rings demonstrate significant advantages. When the ship's main engine calculates the optimal sail angle based on wind conditions, control signals are transmitted through the slip ring's electrical/optical pathways. Power is then used to drive the actuators via pneumatic/hydraulic pathways, adjusting the sail's attitude in real time. Simultaneously, sensor data from the masthead is transmitted back through the slip ring, forming a closed-loop control system. All of this is seamlessly integrated within a highly robust and reliable rotary connection center.
