Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of port engineering and ship protection technology, and in particular to a dock anti-collision fender device. Background Technology
[0002] Wharf anti-collision fenders are key protective facilities in port engineering and ship berthing systems.

[0003] Currently, common traditional dockside anti-collision fenders mostly use rubber, polyurethane, or steel structures. Although these materials possess certain elasticity and cushioning properties and are widely used in practical engineering, they still have significant limitations: First, traditional rubber or polyurethane fenders are prone to permanent plastic deformation, surface cracking, or internal fatigue fracture after repeated high-energy impacts, leading to a significant decrease in their energy absorption capacity and unsustainable protective performance; second, although steel structure fenders have high strength, their excessive rigidity and limited cushioning stroke can easily cause localized stress concentration on the ship's sides, resulting in dents in the hull plating or damage to the coating; in addition, existing fender devices often lack multi-stage energy dissipation mechanisms and buoyancy adaptive functions, making it difficult to maintain an efficient and gentle impact response under impact conditions of ships of different water levels and tonnages.

[0035] This embodiment provides a dock anti-collision fender device, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the pier anti-collision fender device includes a base assembly 1, a buffer assembly 2, an energy-absorbing assembly 3, and a protective assembly 4. The base assembly 1 is fixedly installed on the pier. The buffer assembly 2 is movably connected to the end of the base assembly 1 away from the pier and can move vertically relative to the base assembly 1. The buffer assembly 2 includes multiple arrayed spring dampers 21. The energy-absorbing assembly 3 includes a shell 31, foam metal 32, and a metal sandwich panel 33. The shell 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the buffer assembly 2 away from the base assembly 1. Both the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich panel 33 are trapezoidal structures extending vertically, and they are alternately stacked in the inner cavity of the shell 31. The protective assembly 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the shell 31 away from the buffer assembly 2 and can elastically abut against the side of the ship. The weight of the buffer assembly 2, the energy-absorbing assembly 3, and the protective assembly 4 are balanced with the buoyancy of the seawater.
[0036] The wharf anti-collision fender device provides a stable installation base through the base assembly 1, and the buffer assembly 2 preliminarily dissipates the kinetic energy of the ship impact by using the spring damping 21 and the vertical movement ability; the energy absorption assembly 3 is alternately arranged by the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich plate 33 in the internal trapezoidal structure, and when being pressed, the energy absorption efficiency and structural stability in unit volume are greatly improved by the plastic compression deformation of the foam metal 32 and the bending deformation of the metal sandwich plate 33; the protection assembly 4 disperses and transmits the load to the energy absorption assembly 3 through the elastic contact surface. Each assembly works cooperatively in the state of buoyancy and gravity balance, realizes the energy dissipation and buffer from the surface to the inside, and gradually progresses in multiple stages, which significantly improves the impact resistance, fatigue resistance and overall protection effect of the wharf anti-collision fender device on the ship and the wharf.
[0037] In the embodiment, the trapezoidal structure of the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich plate 33 in the energy absorption assembly 3 has a significant advantage in impact resistance compared to the traditional I-shaped or rectangular structure. The trapezoidal structure can provide a more optimal load transmission path when impacted, and the inclined edge structure helps to guide the material to stably and controllably deform gradually, thereby avoiding stress concentration as in the rectangular structure or local buckling instability as in the I-shaped structure. The geometric shape effectively increases the stability of the structure, so that the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich plate 33 can more fully and uniformly exert their respective energy absorption characteristics in the alternating stacking, thereby absorbing more impact energy in unit volume, and greatly improving the durability and overall impact resistance of the energy absorption assembly 3 under repeated impact.
[0038] In the embodiment, the energy absorption assembly 3 is composed of at least three energy absorption units through the trapezoidal structure of the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich plate 33 and the alternating stacking arrangement. Each energy absorption unit contains a layer of foam metal 32 and a layer of metal sandwich plate 33 arranged alternately. The multi-layer energy absorption unit can be activated in sequence when subjected to ship impact, realizing graded energy dissipation.
[0039] As Figure 2As shown, the housing 31 of the present embodiment is provided with three layers of energy-absorbing units: the first layer of energy-absorbing units is located at the outermost side (close to the protection assembly 4), the foam metal 32 of which is elastically deformed in the initial stage of impact to absorb part of the impact energy; the foam metal 32 in the second layer of energy-absorbing units is plastically compressed, while the metal sandwich plate 33 produces bending deformation, together dissipating most of the kinetic energy; the third layer of energy-absorbing units (close to the buffer assembly 2) completely absorbs the residual impact energy through the crushing deformation of the material. The multi-layer energy-absorbing unit effectively avoids the premature failure or energy-absorbing saturation problem that is prone to occur in single-layer energy-absorbing units, significantly improving the energy-absorbing efficiency, deformation stability and anti-repeated impact performance of the overall structure. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of energy-absorbing units can be adjusted according to actual impact resistance requirements, for example, four layers, five layers or even six layers, to cope with different energy levels of impact working conditions.
[0040] In the present embodiment, the energy-absorbing units of any layer are stacked and assembled in a manner that the foam metal 32 layer and the metal sandwich plate 33 are in contact with each other, thereby ensuring that there is no direct adjacent contact between the foam metal 32 and the foam metal 32 in the overall structure. This design makes the high specific energy-absorbing characteristics of the foam metal 32 and the bending energy-dissipating ability of the metal sandwich plate 33 fully play and cooperate with each other, effectively improving the efficiency of interlayer energy transfer and the stability of the overall structure.
[0041] In the present embodiment, the foam metal 32 is a closed-cell foam metal made of aluminum alloy or nickel-titanium alloy, and the metal sandwich plate 33 is made of steel plate, and the foam metal 32 and the metal sandwich plate 33 are fixed by hot press welding. The closed-cell foam metal 32 has higher stiffness and energy-absorbing capacity when compressed due to its independent pores, and is not prone to water or corrosive medium intrusion, improving the overall environmental durability. The porous aluminum alloy maintains lightweight while achieving more stable compression deformation behavior with the closed-cell structure; the nickel-titanium alloy closed-cell foam further combines super-elasticity and shape memory effect, still able to recover most of the deformation after severe impact, with excellent fatigue resistance. The high-strength steel plate used for the metal sandwich plate 33 provides solid skeletal support for the entire energy-absorbing unit, effectively suppressing overall instability. Through the hot press welding process, a high-strength metallurgical bonding interface is formed between the closed-cell foam metal and the steel plate, ensuring the reliability of the interface connection under impact load and avoiding interlayer peeling or relative sliding. When impacted, the closed-cell foam metal undergoes controlled progressive collapse, while the metal sandwich plate 33 plastically bends, both of which work together to greatly improve the energy-absorbing efficiency, deformation stability and anti-repeated impact performance of the energy-absorbing assembly 3, thereby significantly improving the durability and reliability of the entire fender device.
[0042] In the present embodiment, the shell 31 is made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy shell 31 has excellent specific strength and corrosion resistance, and can maintain structural integrity for a long time in a marine humid environment, avoiding the rust problem that traditional steel materials are prone to. Its lighter weight helps to achieve a balanced state between the buoyancy and gravity of the buffer assembly 2, the energy-absorbing assembly 3 and the protection assembly 4, ensuring that the device can work normally under different water level conditions.
[0043] As shown in Figure 1 The protection assembly 4 includes a plurality of elastic members 41 extending in the vertical direction. The elastic members 41 are semi-cylindrical structures, and the axial cross section of the semi-cylindrical structure is fixedly connected with the shell 31. The outer surface of each elastic member 41 is arc-shaped, and together forms a continuous concave-convex corrugated structure. This corrugated structure can increase the contact area with the ship body when the ship is berthed, effectively disperse the local impact stress, and reduce the unit area pressure, thereby significantly reducing the risk of scratches, indentations or coating damage on the ship side surface.
[0044] Further, the elastic members 41 are made of polyurethane rubber or high polymer composite material. Polyurethane rubber and high polymer composite material have excellent elastic recovery characteristics, high wear resistance and hydrolysis resistance, and are especially suitable for use in marine humid environments. During the ship impact process, the material can effectively absorb and rebound part of the impact energy through its elastic deformation, reducing the instantaneous impact force; its high wear resistance ensures that it is resistant to wear and tear during frequent contact with the ship side, prolonging the service life. At the same time, the inherent flexibility and low modulus characteristics of the material further avoid scratching the ship coating, and the corrugated structure of the surface cooperates to achieve efficient protection and damage suppression of the ship side. Further, the base material of the high polymer composite material is selected to be an elastomer material (polyurethane elastomer, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, thermoplastic elastomer or natural rubber), which makes the composite material exhibit excellent recoverable deformation capability and energy buffering characteristics in a macroscopic manner. The elastomer base material gives the material high elongation at break and flexibility, which can deform greatly and absorb energy when the ship impacts, and can basically recover to its original state after impact, avoiding permanent damage.
[0045] In summary, during berthing, the ship contacts the outer corrugated structure of the protection assembly 4, and the impact force is dispersed to the middle energy-absorbing assembly 3 through the peaks and valleys, most of the energy is absorbed by the plastic crushing of the foam metal 32, and the remaining energy is further attenuated by the inner spring damper 21. During typhoon mooring, the high-frequency low-energy collision is adaptively adjusted by the stiffness of the spring damper 21 to avoid energy accumulation leading to structural failure, and the trapezoidal metal interlayer plate 33 provides lateral support to prevent the fender from instability. The present dock fender device can reduce the ship side collision stress by 60%-75%, the fender device has a resilience coefficient less than or equal to 0.3, can withstand more than 10,000 cycles of impact (simulating typhoon conditions), and the energy-absorbing efficiency attenuation rate is less than 15%. In addition, the modular design of the base assembly 1, the buffer assembly 2, the energy-absorbing assembly 3 and the protection assembly 4 reduces the maintenance cost by more than 50%.
[0046] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the base assembly 1 includes a frame 11 and a fastener 12, the frame 11 is a pre-buried steel structure frame 11, and the fastener 12 is fixedly connected with the dock by penetrating the frame 11. This design provides high-strength and rigid support for the entire fender device through the pre-buried steel structure frame 11, ensuring that it remains stable as a whole during ship impact without displacement or loosening. The reliable connection of the fastener 12 with the inside of the dock further enhances the device's resistance to overturning and shearing, enabling it to effectively transfer impact forces to the main dock structure for dispersion and absorption. This base assembly 1 improves the safety and durability of the dock fender device in long-term use and harsh sea conditions. In this embodiment, the fastener 12 is a long bolt.
[0047] As shown in Figure 3 , the frame 11 is provided with a sliding groove 111 extending in the vertical direction; the buffer assembly 2 includes a connecting plate 22, one side of the connecting plate 22 towards the frame 11 is provided with a sliding block 23, the sliding block 23 is arranged in the sliding groove 111 and can move along the extension direction of the sliding groove 111. This structure enables the buffer assembly 2 to freely float in the vertical direction with water level changes, always maintaining a balanced state of buoyancy and gravity, so that it can maintain effective contact with the ship side under different tidal conditions.
[0048] As shown in Figure 3As shown, at least one side wall of the sliding groove 111 is provided with a first limiting portion 112 extending inwardly; the sliding block 23 is provided with a second limiting portion 231 matched with the first limiting portion 112; the first limiting portion 112 and the second limiting portion 231 are engaged with each other in the horizontal direction to limit the sliding block 23 from being pulled out of the sliding groove 111. This design can effectively limit the sliding block 23 from being pulled out of the sliding groove 111 when subjected to lateral impact or eccentric load, ensuring that the buffer assembly 2 always moves smoothly along the predetermined track, avoiding device failure or structural damage caused by dislocation of the sliding block 23, thereby significantly improving the motion stability and long-term use reliability of the entire fender device under complex impact working conditions.
[0049] In an optional embodiment, one side wall of the sliding groove 111 is provided with a first limiting portion 112 extending inwardly, and the sliding block 23 is provided with a second limiting portion 231 matched with the first limiting portion 112; the other side wall of the sliding groove 111 directly abuts the corresponding side of the sliding block 23. This structure forms an asymmetric constraint in the horizontal direction through the combined action of the unilateral limiting portion and the direct contact on the other side, effectively limiting the risk of the sliding block 23 being pulled out of the sliding groove 111, while ensuring the smoothness of the sliding block 23 moving in the vertical direction, and simplifying the structural design and assembly difficulty, improving the reliability and economy of the wharf anti-collision fender device.
[0050] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 both side walls of the sliding groove 111 are symmetrically provided with a first limiting portion 112 extending inwardly, and the sliding block 23 is provided with a second limiting portion 231 matched with the two first limiting portions 112 respectively; the first limiting portion 112 and the second limiting portion 231 are engaged with each other in the horizontal direction to limit the sliding block 23 from being pulled out of the sliding groove 111, thereby forming a double-sided symmetric mechanical interlocking structure. This design can balance the movement of the sliding block 23 under horizontal and lateral impact load, effectively disperse the contact stress, prevent jamming or local wear caused by eccentric load or torsion, significantly improve the smoothness, guiding accuracy and anti-pulling-out ability of the sliding block 23 moving in the sliding groove 111, thereby enhancing the reliability and durability of the buffer assembly 2 under complex maritime working conditions.
[0051] As shown in Figure 3 the buffer assembly 2 includes a roller 24, the roller 24 is installed on the sliding block 23, and the roller 24 is in rolling contact with the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111. This structure converts the sliding friction between the sliding block 23 and the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111 into rolling friction, significantly reducing the frictional resistance of the buffer assembly 2 during vertical movement, enabling the buffer assembly 2 to respond more sensitively to water level changes and ship impact. At the same time, the contact mode of the roller 24 reduces the wear of the contact surface, avoids motion jamming caused by friction loss, and improves the smoothness, reliability and service life of the buffer assembly 2 during long-term use.
[0052] Specifically, the sliding block 23 is provided with a containing groove 232 extending in the vertical direction, the roller 24 is contained in the containing groove 232, and the roller 24 partially protrudes from the containing groove 232 and is in rolling contact with the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111. This structure provides sufficient installation space and movement freedom for the roller 24 under the premise of ensuring effective constraint of the roller 24, so that the roller 24 can smoothly roll along the bottom wall of the sliding groove 111, further reduces the friction resistance and wear risk of vertical movement, and improves the stability of movement and reliability of long-term use of the buffer assembly 2.
[0053] In the embodiment, the side of the buffer assembly 2 facing the energy-absorbing assembly 3 is provided with a first plug-in part (not shown), the side of the energy-absorbing assembly 3 facing the buffer assembly 2 is provided with a first plug-in groove (not shown) matched with the first plug-in part; the side of the energy-absorbing assembly 3 facing the protection assembly 4 is provided with a second plug-in part (not shown), and the side of the protection assembly 4 facing the energy-absorbing assembly 3 is provided with a second plug-in groove (not shown) matched with the second plug-in part. This plug-in connection structure provides quick and reliable assembly positioning for each assembly, ensures that the impact load can be efficiently transmitted along the preset path; at the same time, the plug-in matching allows the assemblies to have a certain degree of freedom in the vertical direction, adapts to the relative displacement caused by the change of buoyancy, avoids stress concentration or structural damage caused by rigid connection, and thus improves the maintainability, environmental adaptability and long-term stability of the entire wharf fender device.
[0054] In other embodiments, in addition to the plug-in matching, the buffer assembly 2 and the energy-absorbing assembly 3 can also be connected by welding or bolts; similarly, the energy-absorbing assembly 3 and the protection assembly 4 can also be connected by welding or bolts. Welding can achieve permanent high-strength connection between the assemblies, ensuring reliable transmission of impact load; bolt connection provides a detachable assembly method, which is convenient for later maintenance or replacement of specific assemblies, and improves the maintainability and adaptability of the device. The design of multiple connection methods allows flexible selection according to actual engineering requirements, installation conditions or maintenance strategies, while ensuring the structural integrity and functional reliability of the device, and enhances the practicality and economy of the wharf fender device.
