Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buoy recovery technology, and in particular to a device for recovering buoys from a research vessel. Background Technology

[0002] A buoy is a navigational aid that floats on the water's surface. It is anchored in a designated location to mark the extent of a waterway, indicate shoals, obstructions, or indicate specific navigational aids. Buoys are the most numerous and widely used type of navigational aid. They are placed in locations where it is difficult or unsuitable to establish fixed navigational aids. The function of a buoy is to mark shoals or obstacles that endanger navigational safety. Some buoys need to be recovered after they have lost their usefulness.

[0003] The current method for recovering buoys on research vessels is generally through manual retrieval, which involves manually picking up and storing the observation buoys floating on the sea surface. However, when there are a large number of buoys, the workload is large and the time is long, resulting in low recovery efficiency.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model, and should not be regarded as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of this utility model. Such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or prior art, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for recovering buoys on a research vessel, comprising a rotating plate, a fixed seat fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the rotating plate, a driving component inside the fixed seat, clamping seats on both sides of the bottom of the fixed seat, the driving component being used to drive the two clamping seats to move towards each other, a lifting block being rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the rotating plate, a fixed column being inserted into the inner wall of the lifting block, and an mounting plate being fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the fixed column.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor fixedly disposed inside the fixed base. Both ends of the dual-axis motor are fixedly connected to threaded rods. Threaded blocks are screwed onto the threaded rods. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded blocks. The bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping base.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping seat is a semi-circular hollow component with a drainage hole inside, and the mounting plate has a mounting hole inside. The mounting plate is fixed to one side of the hull by fixing bolts that cooperate with the mounting hole.

[0010] Preferably, both sides of the threaded block are fixedly connected to sliders, and both sides of the inner wall of the fixed seat are provided with grooves that cooperate with the sliders.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided inside the lifting block, and the rotating plate is sleeved and installed on the outside of the lifting block through the limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed inside the fixed column, and a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The outer side of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting block, and the inner wall of the lifting block is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed column.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] The research vessel's buoy recovery device consists of an installation plate fixed to one side of the hull to secure a fixing post. When the hull moves near the buoy, a rotating plate rotates on a lifting block, moving the fixing seat above the buoy. The lifting block then lowers the rotating plate, causing the two clamping seats at the bottom of the fixing seat to descend to the same horizontal level as the buoy. A drive assembly moves the two clamping seats towards each other to clamp and fix the buoy. The lifting block then raises the buoy, and the rotating plate rotates the buoy, moving it into the hull. Finally, the drive assembly releases the buoy from its fixation, thus automatically recovering the buoy.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0025] Furthermore, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0026] See Figures 1-3 A device for recovering buoys on a research vessel includes a rotating plate 1. A fixed seat 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the rotating plate 1. A drive assembly 3 is provided inside the fixed seat 2. Clamping seats 4 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the fixed seat 2. The drive assembly 3 is used to drive the two clamping seats 4 to move towards each other. A lifting block 5 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the rotating plate 1. A fixed column 6 is inserted into the inner wall of the lifting block 5. An installation plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the fixed column 6.

[0027] Mounting plate 7 is fixed to one side of the hull to secure the fixing post 6. When the hull moves to the vicinity of the buoy, rotating plate 1 rotates on lifting block 5, moving fixing seat 2 above the buoy. Then, lifting block 5 drives rotating plate 1 to descend, causing the two clamping seats 4 at the bottom of fixing seat 2 to descend to the same horizontal line as the buoy. Drive component 3 drives the two clamping seats 4 to move towards each other to clamp and fix the buoy. Lifting block 5 drives the buoy to rise and rotates the buoy through rotating plate 1, moving the buoy into the hull. Then, drive component 3 releases the fixation of the buoy, thereby automatically recovering the buoy.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a dual-axis motor 31 fixedly installed inside the fixed base 2. Both ends of the dual-axis motor 31 are fixedly connected to threaded rods 32. Threaded blocks 33 are screwed onto the threaded rods 32. A movable plate 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded blocks 33. The bottom of the movable plate 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping base 4.

[0029] The dual-axis motor 31 drives the two threaded rods 32 to rotate, causing the threaded rods 32 to drive the threaded block 33 to slide on the inner wall of the fixed seat 2, thereby causing the two moving plates 34 to move the clamping seat 4 to clamp the buoy.

[0030] The clamping seat 4 is a semi-circular hollow component with a drainage hole inside. The mounting plate 7 has a mounting hole inside. The mounting plate 7 is fixed to one side of the hull by fixing bolts that cooperate with the mounting holes. The semi-circular hollow clamping seat 4 can increase the contact area with the circular buoy, making the buoy clamping effect more stable. When the buoy rises from the water, the water source is discharged from the clamping seat 4 through the drainage hole to reduce the weight.

[0031] Both sides of the threaded block 33 are fixedly connected to sliders 8. Both sides of the inner wall of the fixed seat 2 are provided with slide grooves 9 that cooperate with the sliders 8. When the threaded block 33 slides in the fixed seat 2, the sliders 8 on both sides slide in the slide grooves 9 to guide and limit the threaded block 33, thereby improving the stability of the threaded block 33 when it moves.

[0032] The lifting block 5 has a limiting groove 10 inside. The rotating plate 1 is sleeved and installed on the outside of the lifting block 5 through the limiting groove 10. The rotating plate 1 rotates in the limiting groove 10, which limits the rotation of the rotating plate 1 and improves the stability of the rotating plate 1 when it rotates.

[0033] A motor 11 is fixedly installed inside the fixed column 6. A lead screw 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11. The outer side of the lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting block 5. The inner wall of the lifting block 5 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed column 6. The motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate. When the lead screw 12 rotates, it drives the lifting block 5 to rise and fall, thereby facilitating the control of the clamping seat 4 to rise and fall.

[0034] In use, the mounting plate 7 is fixed to one side of the hull to secure the fixing post 6. When the hull moves to the vicinity of the buoy, the rotating plate 1 rotates on the lifting block 5, moving the fixing seat 2 above the buoy. Then, the lifting block 5 drives the rotating plate 1 to descend, causing the two clamping seats 4 at the bottom of the fixing seat 2 to descend to the same horizontal line as the buoy. The dual-axis motor 31 drives the two threaded rods 32 to rotate, causing the threaded rods 32 to drive the threaded block 33 to slide on the inner wall of the fixing seat 2. This causes the two moving plates 34 to move the clamping seats 4 to clamp the buoy. The lifting block 5 drives the buoy to rise and the rotating plate 1 drives the buoy to rotate, moving the buoy into the hull. Then, the drive assembly 3 releases the fixing of the buoy, thus automatically recovering the buoy.
