[0001] This application claims foreign priority to China Pat.
Application No. 201711278975.0 filed on Dec. 6, 2017, now pending,
which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a modularized surfing
apparatus.
BACKGROUND
[0003] In a conventional self-driven surfing apparatus, generally a
motor drives a propeller to generate a pushing force. Therefore, a
battery, a motor or the like part is mounted inside a surfboard of
such products. When the surfing apparatus encounters a fault, the
internal devices of the surfboard need to be repaired. However,
since the surfboard is large in size, the transportation thereof is
difficult and repair thereof is hard.

provided with a battery chamber, and a lower end surface of the
surfboard is provided with a power chamber; wherein the battery
chamber is configured to receive the battery module, and the power
chamber is configured to receive the propelling module. By virtue
of the battery chamber and the power chamber, the battery module
and the propelling module may be more smoothly received, such that
streamlined surface of the surfboard may be ensured and the
resistance may be reduced.
[0014] Optionally, the battery chamber and the power chamber are
staggered along a longitudinal fore and aft direction of the
surfboard. By virtue of the staggered battery chamber and power
chamber, a design space in a thickness direction is increased for

virtue of the connection chamber, a space for connection is
reserved, and other operations for the battery module and the
propelling module are reduced.
[0016] Optionally, a clamping member is arranged adjacent to the
battery chamber; wherein the clamping member is connected to the
surfboard in a rotary manner, and the clamping member protrudes
into or leaves from an upper part of the battery module via
rotation. When the clamping member protrudes into the upper part of
the battery module, an upward movement path of the battery module
is blocked, such that the battery module is confined in the battery
chamber. When the clamping member rotates to leave from the battery
module, the battery module may be removed without any hinder. By
virtue of the clamping member, the battery module may be
conveniently disassembled.
[0017] Optionally, the propelling module is connected to the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present disclosure is completely and clearly described
hereinafter with reference to the preferred embodiments and the
accompanying drawings.
[0041] As illustrated in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the present disclosure
provides a modularized surfing apparatus. The modularized surfing
apparatus includes: a surfboard 3, a battery module 1 configured to
store and output electric energy, and a propelling module 2
configured to supply a propelling force; wherein the battery module
1 and the propelling module 2 are respectively detachably connected
to the surfboard, and the battery module 1 is electrically
connected to the propelling module 2.
[0042] In this embodiment, the propelling module 2 may be connected
to the surfboard 3 via threads. In other embodiments, the
propelling module 2 may be connected to the surfboard 3 in any
other suitable manner.
[0043] In the present disclosure, the battery module 1 may include
any conventional device capable of supplying power, for example, an
electrical cell, a printed circuit board or the like structure. The
propelling module may include any device capable of supplying
power, for example, a motor, a propeller, a coupling connecting the
motor and the propeller, a governor or the like structure. These
structures are all conventional structures, which are thus not
described herein any further.
[0044] In the present disclosure, when a fault occurs, only the
battery module 1 or the propelling module 2 needs to be
disassembled and repaired, and there is no need to repair the
large-sized surfboard 3, which greatly facilitates transportation
and repair.
[0045] To better protect the internal devices and integrity of the
devices, in this embodiment, the battery module 1 includes a
battery housing, and the propelling module 2 includes a power
housing.
[0046] In this embodiment, the battery module 1 and the propelling
module 2 are electrically connected in a plug-in manner. As
compared with other connection manners, the plug-in manner may
accelerate connection or detachment between the battery module 1
and the propelling module 2, thereby further increases convenience
of disassembling and installation thereof.
[0047] As illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the
battery housing is provided with an inwardly recessed power jack
11, and the power housing is provided with an outwardly extended
power plug 21, wherein the power plug 21 is inserted into the power
jack 11. Therefore, the power plug 21 may be inserted into the
power jack 11 as long as they are aligned with each other.
[0048] Nevertheless, in other embodiments (not illustrated in the
drawings), an outwardly extended power plug may also be arranged on
the battery housing, and an inwardly recessed power jack may also
be arranged on the battery housing. Then the power plug is inserted
into the power jack. In this way, the same effect is achieved.
[0049] As illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, an upper end surface of
the surfboard 3 is provided with a battery chamber 31, and a lower
end surface of the surfboard 3 is provided with a power chamber 32;
wherein the battery chamber 31 is configured to receive the battery
module 1, and the power chamber 32 is configured to receive the
propelling module 2. By virtue of the battery chamber 31 and the
power chamber 32, the battery module 1 and the propelling module 2
may be more smoothly received, such that streamlined surface of the
surfboard 3 may be ensured and the resistance may be reduced.
[0050] The surfboard 3 is provided with a connection chamber 33,
wherein the connection chamber 33 is respectively in communication
with the battery chamber 31 and the power chamber 32. By virtue of
the connection chamber 33, a space for connection is reserved, and
other operations for the battery module 1 and the propelling module
2 are reduced.
[0051] In this embodiment, the battery chamber 31 and the power
chamber 32 are staggered along a longitudinal fore and aft
direction of the surfboard 3. By virtue of the staggered battery
chamber 31 and power chamber 32, a design space in a thickness
direction is increased for the battery module 1 and the propelling
module 2.
[0052] As illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a clamping member 4 is
arranged adjacent to the battery chamber 31; wherein the clamping
member 4 is connected to the surfboard 3 in a rotary manner, and
the clamping member 4 protrudes into to or leaves from an upper
part of the battery module 1 via rotation.
[0053] As illustrated in FIG. 6, when the clamping member protrudes
into the upper part of the battery module 1, an upward movement
path of the battery module 1 is blocked, such that the battery
module 1 is confined in the battery chamber. As illustrated in FIG.
7, when the clamping member 4 rotates to leave from the battery
module 1, the battery module 1 may be removed without any hinder.
By virtue of the clamping member 4, the battery module may be
conveniently disassembled.
[0054] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the battery module 1 may be
provided with a handle 12. By virtue of the handle 12, the battery
module may be conveniently removed.
[0055] The benefits of the present disclosure lie in that:
[0056] In the present disclosure, when a fault occurs, only the
battery module or the propelling module needs to be disassembled
and repaired, and there is no need to repair the large-sized
surfboard, which greatly facilitates transportation and repair.
[0057] Although the specific embodiments of the present disclosure
are described hereinabove, these embodiments are merely illustrated
as examples, and the protection scope of the present disclosure is
defined by the appended claims. A person skilled in the art may
make various variations or modifications to these embodiments
without departing from the principle and essence of the present
disclosure. However, such variations or modifications shall all
fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
