TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship mooring technology, and particularly relates to a mobile power generation type multi-section hinge vacuum cable-free mooring device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, with the large-scale development of ships and the increasing demand for port operation efficiency, vacuum cable-free mooring technology has gradually become an important research direction to replace traditional cable mooring. However, the existing vacuum cable-free mooring system still has significant defects in technical maturity and functionality, which restricts the large-scale application of the vacuum cable-free mooring system.
[0003] Insufficient adsorption stability and adaptability: The existing vacuum suction cups are mostly designed with rigid or single structure, which is difficult to fit the surface with large curvature changes, especially in the areas with large bow, stern or plate curvature. Local air leakage easily leads to a decrease in adsorption force or even failure. The existing technology mostly uses planar suction cups, which are only suitable for flat hulls and have poor adaptability to curved surfaces. It needs to rely on redundant layout of multiple suction cups, which not only increases the complexity of the equipment, but also causes uneven stress due to the lack of coordination between the suction cups.
[0004] Limited mechanical structure flexibility: The existing mechanical arm systems mostly use fixed or simple hinge designs, which have limited degrees of freedom and are difficult to adapt to different ship sizes or complex docking environments. The existing technology mostly uses single-section mechanical arms with linear drive devices, which results in narrow coverage and cannot meet the multi-point mooring needs of large ships. Although some technologies use multi-section mechanical arms, they lack a coordinated control mechanism, which easily causes vibration due to insufficient mechanical arm stiffness in dynamic wave environments, affecting positioning accuracy. In addition, the connection between the mechanical arm and the suction cup is mostly rigid and fixed, which cannot effectively buffer the relative motion between the ship and the wharf, and may exacerbate the stress concentration problem at the edge of the suction cup.
[0005] Low energy utilization efficiency: The existing systems generally rely on external power supply to maintain the operation of the vacuum pump and the drive device, which has high energy consumption cost and does not meet the green port development trend. More importantly, the existing technology does not effectively utilize the kinetic energy of the ship under the action of waves, resulting in a large amount of mechanical energy being wasted.
[0006] In summary, the existing vacuum cable-free mooring technology needs to make breakthroughs in adsorption structure design, mechanical flexibility, energy self-sufficiency, etc., to truly meet the needs of modern ports for efficient, safe and sustainable mooring operations. SUMMARY

[0059] The vacuum chuck 4 includes a plurality of hinge-connected vacuum chuck units, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the vacuum chuck 4 has five segments, including a first chuck 4-1, two second chucks 4-2 and two third chucks 4-3. The back surface of each chuck is provided with a hinge fastener, and the bottom surface is provided with a rubber sleeve. The middle of each chuck is provided with two air holes, i.e. a first air hole and a second air hole.

The vacuum chuck 4 is designed as a plurality of hinge-type segments in the present application, which can be adsorbed on the surface of a ship body with large curvature, thereby effectively improving the adsorption stability and adaptability of the uncabled mooring. Meanwhile, the bottom surface of each of the five chucks is provided with a rubber sleeve 4-4, which further improves the adsorption stability of the vacuum chuck 4. In addition, two air holes 4-5 are provided on each chuck for the vacuum pump 5 to extract air under the vacuum chuck 4.
[0060] As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 The vacuum pump 5 is arranged on the back surface of the vacuum chuck 4 and is composed of a motor 5-1, a driving shaft 5-2, a pump shell 5-3, a rotating vane 5-4 and a sealing cover 5-5. Two vacuum pumps 5 are arranged on the back surface of each chuck.
[0061] As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the pump shell 5-3 is a cylindrical air chamber, the motor 5-1 is arranged at one end of the drive shaft 5-2, the drive shaft 5-2 penetrates from one end of the pump shell 5-3, is inserted into the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, and the cross section of the drive shaft 5-2 is tangent to the inner wall of the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, so that the center of the cross section of the drive shaft 5-2 deviates from the center of the cross section of the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3. The middle of the drive shaft 5-2 in the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3 is provided with a groove 5-2-1 for embedding two rotating blades 5-4, and the rotating blades 5-4 rotate with the drive shaft 5-2. Referring to the drawings Figures 13 to 15 The two rotating blades 5-4 are opposite in magnetic properties on the adjacent side, so that the two rotating blades 5-4 are always in repulsion, causing the outer end of the rotating blade 5-4 to abut against the inner wall of the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, and cooperating with the drive shaft 5-2 to separate the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3 into a first air chamber and a second air chamber.
[0062] Referring to the drawings Figure 15 and 16 In the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, near the tangent point of the cross section of the drive shaft 5-2 and the inner wall of the air chamber, a passage is opened on the left and right of the tangent point for air extraction, the left is an exhaust passage, i.e. a first passage; the right is an air inlet passage, i.e. a second passage, and the inlet of the air inlet passage is connected with the exhaust hole 4-5 on the vacuum chuck 4, and two exhaust holes 4-5 correspond to two vacuum pumps 5, i.e. two vacuum pumps 5 are arranged on each section of the vacuum chuck 4 to extract air in the vacuum chuck 4. Due to the existence of the rotating blade 5-4, the arc space in the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3 is divided into left and right air chambers, i.e. a first air chamber and a second air chamber, the first air chamber is the space on the left of the rotating blade 5-4 in the air chamber connected with the left exhaust passage, and the second air chamber is the space on the right of the rotating blade 5-4 in the air chamber connected with the right air inlet passage. Finally, the sealing cover 5-5 seals the pump shell 5-3 to ensure its air tightness.
[0063] Referring to the drawings Figure 15 and 16 When the infrared sensing device 2-1 on the front of the base 2 identifies that the ship enters the berthing distance, the mechanical arm group 3 extends to abut against the ship, the vacuum pump 5 starts to work, the motor 5-1 drives the drive shaft 5-2 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the two rotating blades 5-4 in the air chamber to rotate clockwise at high speed. Due to the opposite magnetic poles on the two rotating blades 5-4 and the centrifugal force, the outer ends of the two rotating blades 5-4 slide at high speed against the inner wall of the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, causing the volume of the left and right spaces in the air chamber to periodically change. The volume of the left space decreases while the volume of the right space increases, the pressure rises, thereby extracting the air below the vacuum chuck 4 through the air inlet passage, the right space, the left space and the exhaust passage, so that a vacuum area is formed below the vacuum chuck 4 to provide strong adsorption force for the vacuum chuck 4 and ensure the adsorption stability of the un-cable mooring.

[0068] The shell 7-1 and the sliding generator 7-6 are fixed to the top of the base 2 on both sides, and the sliding generator 7 on the right side is taken as an example, referring to the drawings Figure 22 and 23 , when the slider 7-2 slides to the right inside the shell 7-1, the first toothed belt 7-2-1 drives the first gear 7-4 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the first stop pawl 7-4-1 to disengage from the tooth groove of the first ratchet 7-3-1, so that the first ratchet 7-3-1 cannot be rotated; the second toothed belt 7-2-2 drives the second gear 7-5 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the second stop pawl 7-5-1 to abut against the tooth groove of the second ratchet 7-3-2, thereby driving the second ratchet 7-3-2 to rotate counterclockwise, and driving the sliding generator 7-6 to generate electricity. When the slider 7-2 slides to the left inside the shell 7-1, the first toothed belt 7-2-1 drives the first gear 7-4 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the first stop pawl 7-4-1 to abut against the tooth groove of the first ratchet 7-3-1, thereby driving the first ratchet 7-3-1 to rotate counterclockwise, and driving the sliding generator 7-6 to generate electricity; the second toothed belt 7-2-2 drives the second gear 7-5 to rotate clockwise, thereby causing the second stop pawl 7-5-1 to disengage from the tooth groove of the second ratchet 7-3-2, so that the second ratchet 7-3-2 cannot be rotated.
[0069] The working principle of the present application is as follows: when the infrared sensing device 2-1 on the front of the base 2 identifies that the ship enters the specified distance, the motor 2-1 inside the base 2 drives the telescopic arm 3-1 to extend, the hydraulic telescopic arm 3-3 is elongated to drive the side spread arm 3-2 to extend, so that the vacuum chuck 4 is pressed against the ship body. At this time, the vacuum pump 5 starts to work, the motor 5-1 drives the driving shaft 5-2 to rotate, thereby driving the two rotating plates 5-4 in the air chamber to rotate clockwise at high speed. Due to the opposite magnetic poles on the two rotating plates 5-4 and the centrifugal force, the outer ends of the two rotating plates 5-4 slide at high speed against the inner wall of the air chamber of the pump shell 5-3, resulting in the periodic change of the volume of the left and right spaces in the air chamber. The volume of the left space decreases at the same time as the volume of the right space increases, and the pressure rises, so that the air below the vacuum chuck 4 is sucked away through the air inlet channel, the right space, the left space and the air outlet channel, so that a vacuum area is formed below the vacuum chuck 4, providing strong adsorption force for the vacuum chuck 4 and ensuring the adsorption stability of the cable-free mooring. When the ship leaves the berth, the driving shaft 5-2 in the vacuum pump 5 rotates in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) to be separated.
[0070] After the vacuum chuck 4 is successfully adsorbed, the roll, heave and bowing movements of the ship under the action of sea waves can extrude the hydraulic device 6-1, convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, and the hydraulic device 6-1 is connected to the hydraulic generator 6-2 through the pipeline, so as to further drive the rotor of the hydraulic generator 6-2 to rotate and generate electric energy.
[0071] In addition, the above-mentioned movements of the ship body under the sea waves also extrude the side spread arm 3-2 back and forth. When the side spread arm 3-2 is opened, the lock chain 7-8 is relaxed, the compressed spring 7-7 is elongated, and the sliding block 7-2 is pushed to slide leftward, i.e. inward, to generate electric energy; when the side spread arm 3-2 is contracted, the lock chain 7-8 is tightened, the sliding block 7-2 is pulled to slide rightward, i.e. outward, to generate electric energy.
