In the present application, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0029] In the present application, as Figures 1-3 shown, a floating double-layer mooring dolphin is provided, comprising: a floating member 1; a first pile body mounted on the top of the floating member 1, comprising a first support 2, a first pile body 3 mounted on the first support 2; a second pile body movably mounted on the top of the first pile body, comprising a second support 4 hinged on the top of the first support 2, a second pile body 5 mounted on the second support 4; wherein the second support 4 is arranged to be liftable.

[0030] The mooring dolphin of the present application is used when the ship is fully loaded at low water level, at which time the general ship deck height is about two meters, and the first pile body 3 can be used to fix the ship. When the ship is in an empty or half-empty state, the ship deck height is higher, and at this time the second pile body 5 can be used to fix the ship, and during fixing, the second support 4 can be lifted according to the height of the ship deck, so that the second support 4 is adjusted to correspond to the height of the ship deck, so that the fixing of the second pile body 5 is stable.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: first, by setting the second support 4 to be liftable, when the floating member 1 drives the first support 2 to move up and down with the ship, the height of the second pile body 5 can be adjusted to match the height of the deck of the ship according to the change of the height of the deck of the ship (different ship types, empty or lightly loaded); second, by hinging the second support 4 on the top of the first support 2, the second support 4 has a certain degree of freedom, and when the second pile body 5 fixes the ship and is subjected to the pulling force of the ship, the second support 4 can directly transmit the force to the lock groove wall, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the first support 2, and further reducing the bending deformation of the first support 2 caused by the longer lever arm of the second support 4 relative to the first support 2, especially after the first support 2 is set to be liftable, the torque (in the illustrated embodiment, the guide rod 9) transmitted by the lifting structure of the first support 2 can be reduced; third, by using two layers of pile bodies, the first pile body is fixedly connected with the floating member 1, and the lower first pile body is fixed and stable, and the deck of the ship changes little when fully loaded, so that the ship can be stably fixed when fully loaded.

[0032] For the illustrated embodiment, further optimization is that the top of the first support 2 is provided with a mounting seat 6, the second support 4 is hinged on the mounting seat 6, and the mounting seat 6 is liftable and mounted on the first support 2. As shown, by providing the mounting seat 6, the mounting seat 6 serves as a connecting medium between the first support 2 and the second support 4, and the rotatable setting of the second support 4 can be realized, and at the same time, the lifting setting of the first support 2 can be realized.

[0033] For the lifting setting of the second support 4, in the illustrated embodiment, further optimization is that, as shown, the bollard includes a winch 7, and the winch rope 8 of the winch 7 is connected with the second support 4. As shown, the second support 4 is lifted by rotating the winch 7. The winch 7 can be an electric winch 7, a hydraulic winch 7 or a manual winch 7. The winch 7 can be mounted on the top of the lock by an external support.

[0034] For the liftable setting of the second support 4, it is not limited to the lifting mode of the winch 7, and in an alternative embodiment, the mounting seat 6 and the first support 2 are provided with a lifting rod. As an alternative, the lifting rod can be an electric lifting rod or a hydraulic lifting rod.

[0035] As a preferred setting mode, further optimization is that one of the bottom of the mounting seat 6 and the first support 2 is provided with a guide rod 9, and the other is provided with a guide ring 10 through which the guide rod 9 passes. By providing the guide rod 9 and the guide ring 10, the movement of the second support 4 during lifting can be more stable and less likely to sway.

[0036] For further optimization of the application, as shown in the drawings, the mooring dolphin further comprises a locking member arranged between the guide rod 9 and the guide ring 10, which can loosen or fix the guide rod 9 and the guide ring 10. By arranging the locking member, the guide ring 10 and the guide rod 9 can be fixed after adjusting the height of the second support 4, so that the overall structure of the mooring dolphin is stable, and the stability of the vertical position of the second support 4 in use is improved.

[0037] For the arrangement of the locking member, in one embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the inner wall of the guide ring 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 11; the locking member comprises: a locking block 12, which is slidably arranged in the mounting cavity 11 of the guide ring 10, and can change between the state of tightly fixing the guide rod 9 and loosening the guide rod 9; a driving mechanism connected with the locking block 12 to drive the locking block 12 to move.

[0038] As shown in the drawings, when the second support 4 moves up and down, the locking block 12 is separated from the guide rod 9, and the guide rod 9 can move up and down in the guide ring 10, and after the position of the second support 4 is adjusted, the locking block 12 tightly fixes the guide rod 9 in the guide ring 10, and the first support 2 and the second support 4 are connected in the vertical direction.

[0039] For the arrangement of the driving mechanism, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, further specifically, as shown in the drawings, the mooring dolphin comprises a winch 7 provided with a winding rope 8; the mounting seat 6 is provided with the guide ring 10, the first support 2 is provided with the guide rod 9 passing through the mounting seat 6, the guide ring 10 is provided with a through hole 13 extending to the outside of the guide ring 10 on the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 11, and the driving mechanism comprises: a spring 14 mounted in the mounting cavity 11 to provide a force for tightly fixing the guide rod 9 by the locking block 12; a driving rope 15 connected with the locking block 12 and extending to the outside of the guide ring 10 through the through hole 13; a connecting block 16 connected with the driving rope 15; wherein the top of the second support 4 is provided with a mounting frame body 23, the winding rope 8 passes through the mounting frame body 23 and is connected to the connecting block 16, so that when the winding rope 8 drives the connecting block 16 to move upward to abut against the mounting frame body, the connecting block 16 drives the locking block 12 to loosen the guide rod 9 through the driving rope 15, and when the winding rope 8 releases the connecting block 16, the spring 14 pushes the locking block 12 to tightly fix the guide rod 9.

[0040] As shown in the figure, in use, in the initial state, the locking block 12 clamps the fixed guide rod 9 under the pushing of the spring 14, and the connecting block 16 has a gap with the mounting frame body 23, at this time, the first support 2 and the second support 4 are fixed in the vertical position. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the first support 2 and the second support 4, the winch 7 pulls the connecting block 16 upward through the winding rope 8, the connecting block 16 drives the driving rope 15 to pull the locking block 12 outward, so that the locking block 12 is separated from the guide rod 9, at this time, the guide rod 9 can slide freely upward and downward, after the mounting frame abuts against the connecting block 16, at this time, the winch 7 can drive the second support 4 to move upward and downward by moving the winding rope 8 upward and downward. After the second support 4 moves to the approximate position, the winch 7 can quickly lower the winding rope 8, after the connecting block 16 loses the pulling force of the winding rope 8, the spring 14 pushes the locking block 12 to move to the inside of the guide ring 10 and abut against the guide rod 9 to be fixed, the second support 4 is fixed again after moving downward a small distance in a short time when losing the pulling force of the winding rope 8, so that the adjustment of the lifting position of the second support 4 is realized.

[0041] The present application optimizes the driving mechanism, can switch the working state of the locking block 12 by the winch 7, without the need of additionally increasing external driving power components, and can also ensure that the locking block 12 is in the unlocked state when the winch 7 drives the lifting, so as to prevent the working condition that the winch 7 is switched to be lifted to lift the first support 2 and the second support 4 as a whole from the working condition that the guide rod 9 is in the locked state.

[0042] In the embodiment shown in the figure, as shown in the figure, two locking blocks 12 are oppositely arranged to clamp and fix the guide rod 9, which does not limit the present application, and one or more than two locking blocks 12 can also be arranged in alternative embodiments.

[0043] The driving mode of the locking block 12 is not limited to the mode of the winch 7 shown in the figure, and other modes can also be used in alternative embodiments, for example, an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic telescopic rod is selected to drive the locking block 12 to move.

[0044] In the embodiment shown in the figure, further optimization is that, as shown in the figure, the surface side of the guide rod 9 is provided with a fixed groove 22 along the length direction, and the locking block 12 is provided with a fixed protrusion 17 capable of being inserted into the fixed groove 22. As shown in the figure, when the locking block 12 abuts against and fixes the guide rod 9, the fixed protrusion 17 is inserted into the fixed groove 22, so as to prevent the guide rod 9 from sliding.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, further optimization is provided in that, as shown, the mounting base 6 is provided with a first guide wheel 18 and a second guide wheel 19 which are axially supported, and the second support 4 is provided with a third guide wheel 20 and a fourth guide wheel 21 which are axially perpendicular. As shown, by providing the guide wheels on the mounting base 6 and the second support 4 respectively, when the lock is against the lock wall, the first guide wheel 18 and the second guide wheel 19 are respectively slidably arranged in the guide groove arranged inside the lock wall of the lock, so as to transmit the force received by the second mooring post to the lock. As shown, the first guide wheel 18 and the third guide wheel are arranged in the same axis, and the second guide wheel 19 and the fourth guide wheel 21 are arranged in the same axis, so as to form two guide points on the upper and lower sides of the mounting base 6 and the first support 2, so as to reduce the transmission of the lateral shaking of the second support 4 to the first support 2 when the second support 4 is under stress.

[0046] Each of the embodiments in the specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. Each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments. In particular, for the system embodiment, since it is basically similar to the method embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant part can be referred to the part of the method embodiment.

[0047] The above only describes the embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. The present application can have various changes and modifications for those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the scope of claims of the present application.
