[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, an intelligent collision avoidance and early warning device for ships during berthing includes a transport vessel 1, with multiple sets of drive modules 2 fixedly connected to the outside of the transport vessel 1, and a connecting cable 3 hinged to one side of the drive module 2.

[0030] A shock-absorbing component is located outside the connecting cable 3. The shock-absorbing component includes a movement limiting mechanism inside. The shock-absorbing component and the movement limiting mechanism are used in conjunction.

[0031] The protective assembly is located on the top outer side of the transport vessel 1. The protective assembly includes a locking mechanism and an automatic opening and closing mechanism that cooperate with each other. The shock absorption assembly includes a crash block 4, a roller 5, a connecting plate 8, a shock absorber 9, and a limiting plate 10. The crash block 4 is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting cable 3. The roller 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the crash block 4 closest to the transport vessel 1. The connecting plate 8 is slidably connected to both sides inside the crash block 4. The shock absorber 9 is slidably connected to the middle of the inner side of the crash block 4. The shock absorber 9 works in conjunction with the connecting plate 8. The limiting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shock absorber 9.

[0032] The locking mechanism includes a sliding groove 6 and a limiting sliding ring 7. The limiting sliding ring 7 is slidably connected inside the anti-collision block 4. The sliding groove 6 is opened on the top outer side of the anti-collision block 4. The limiting sliding ring 7 slides inside the sliding groove 6. The connecting cable 3 passes through the limiting sliding ring 7. An anti-slip pad 27 is fixedly connected inside the limiting sliding ring 7. The protective component includes a support frame 11, a drive screw 12, a protective shell 13, and an anti-collision warning module 14. The support frame 11 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the transport vessel 1. The drive screw 12 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 11. The anti-collision warning module 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the drive screw 12. The protective shell 13 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the support frame 11. The anti-collision warning module 14 is located inside the protective shell 13.

[0033] The snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a protective door A15, a spring telescopic rod 16, a limiting bead 17, and a mating groove 18. Multiple sets of protective doors A15 are hinged to the outer side of the protective shell 13. A spring telescopic rod 16 is provided at the bottom of the protective door A15. The telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 16 is ball-jointed with the limiting bead 17. A mating groove 18 is provided on the top of the support frame 11 near the limiting bead 17. The mating groove 18 and the limiting bead 17 cooperate with each other. The automatic opening and closing mechanism includes a pressing plate 19, a protective door B20, and a rotating shaft 2. 1. A double-headed toothed rotating rod 22, a protective frame 23, and a double-headed rack 24. Multiple sets of extrusion plates 19 are hinged to one side of the outer side of the anti-collision warning module 14. Two sets of rotating shafts 21 are hinged to the top of the outer side of the protective shell 13. A rotating shaft 21 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 21. A double-headed toothed rotating rod 22 is fixed to the inside of the rotating shaft 21. A protective frame 23 is fixed to the outside of the anti-collision warning module 14. A double-headed rack 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective frame 23. The double-headed rack 24 meshes with a magnetic block 25.

[0034] During operation, the device is first connected to an external drive unit to drive the device in this technical solution. The drive module 2 is installed on the side of the transport vessel 1 that needs to be moored near the dock. When the vessel needs to be moored, the mooring area is cleared in advance, reducing the possibility of injury to personnel due to severe vibration when the vessel is moored. Then, the drive screw 12 at the top of the drive support frame 11 starts to rotate, causing the anti-collision warning module 14 to slide inside the protective shell 13, so that the anti-collision warning module 14 moves towards the side that needs to be moored.

[0035] When the anti-collision warning module 14 starts to move, the extrusion plate 19 on the outside of the anti-collision warning module 14 will slide along with the anti-collision warning module 14 on the top of the support frame 11. At this time, the end of the extrusion plate 19 is provided with a certain curvature. When it comes into contact with the protective door A15, the extrusion plate 19 will insert into the bottom of the spring telescopic rod 16. The spring telescopic rod 16 is provided with curvature on both sides of the extrusion plate 19. When the extrusion plate 19 comes into contact with the spring telescopic rod 16 with curvature, the lateral force carried by the extrusion plate 19 will be converted into a longitudinal force, so that the spring telescopic rod 16 drives the limiting bead 17 to move into the protective door A15, thereby separating the limiting bead 17 from the mating groove 18. Then the extrusion plate 19 continues to move, and the protective door A15 is pushed and begins to rotate around the connection with the protective shell 13, thereby opening and closing the protective door A15.

[0036] While the anti-collision warning module 14 moves and opens, the protective frame 23 on the top outer side of the anti-collision warning module 14 and the double-headed rack 24 move synchronously. When the squeezing plate 19 pushes the protective door A15 to open and close, the protective door B20 still obstructs the anti-collision warning module 14. Therefore, during the movement of the anti-collision warning module 14, the double-headed rack 24 and the double-headed toothed rotating rod 22 come into contact with each other, causing the double-headed toothed rotating rod 22 to start rotating. This causes the rotating shaft 21 and the protective door B20 to rotate around the protective shell 13, opening the protective door B20. At this time, the anti-collision warning module 14 can... To facilitate smooth exit from inside the protective shell 13, when one end of the double-headed rack 24 is not engaged with the double-headed toothed rotating rod 22, the double-headed rack 24 as a whole supports the protective door B20, reducing the possibility of the double-headed toothed rotating rod 22 losing its driving force and falling to impact the anti-collision warning module 14. When the other end of the anti-collision block 4 engages with the protective door B20 again, it will completely flip the protective door B20 to the top of the protective shell 13, reducing the possibility of the anti-collision warning module 14 continuing to fall down and seal the protective shell 13 during use on the outside.

[0037] When the collision warning module 14 is located on the side where the ship needs to dock, it judges and analyzes the distance captured by the camera and the area where the ship may come into contact with the dock. Then, it drives the drive module 2 to control the roller 5, so that the collision block 4 moves outside the connecting cable 3. The collision block 4 isolates the ship 1 from the dock. Then, it controls the limiting sliding ring 7 to slide inside the collision block 4, squeezing the connecting cable 3. The anti-slip pad 27 increases the friction between the collision block 4 and the connecting cable 3, further improving the stability of the connecting cable 3 and the collision block 4 when they are fixed. When docking normally, the dock makes slight contact with the collision block 4, without affecting the collision block 4. When a collision occurs, the shock absorber 9 squeezes the connecting plate 8, and the connecting plate 8 expands outward. Then, multiple sets of connecting plates 8 on the outside collide with each other, and an alarm signal is issued at the same time. While multiple sets of connecting plates 8 collide with each other, the shock absorber 9 does not directly contact the other side of the inside of the collision block 4, reducing the possibility of the vibration generated by the collision being transmitted to the inside of the ship 1, and further reducing the damage that the collision may cause to the ship 1.

[0038] After use, the lead screw 12 is driven again to move the anti-collision warning module 14 into the protective shell 13. At this time, one end of the double-headed rack 24 first meshes with the double-headed toothed rotating rod 22, flipping down the protective door B20. Then, the pressing plate 19 on the other side of the anti-collision warning module 14 repeatedly contacts the protective door A15, opening the protective shell 13 and sending the anti-collision warning module 14 into the protective shell 13 to form a closure.

[0039] Simultaneously, the combined use of protective and shock-absorbing components ensures that when the transport vessel 1 is docked at the pier, the anti-collision block 4 separates the transport vessel 1 from the pier, reducing the damage to the pier and the transport vessel 1 caused by a collision. The protective shell 13 protects the anti-collision warning module 14, protecting the device when it is not in use and reducing the impact of sea waves on the anti-collision warning module 14, thus reducing the possibility of damage to the anti-collision warning module 14 or a reduction in its service life. At the same time, the cooperation of the spring telescopic rod 16, the limit bead 17, and the mating groove 18 makes the protective door A15 more stable and reliable when closed, further increasing the protection of the anti-collision warning module 14 by the protective shell 13 and increasing the practicality and reliability of the device.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, a magnetic block 25 is fixed to the top of the outer side of the protective door B20, and a slot 26 is provided on the top of the outer side of the protective shell 13. The magnetic block 25 and the slot 26 are used in conjunction with each other.

[0042] By using the slot 26 and the magnetic block 25, when the protective shell 13 is flipped to the top, the magnetic block 25 will be inserted into the slot 26. At the same time, due to the magnetic attraction, the protective door B20 will be fixed, which will further increase the stability of the protective door B20 on the top of the protective shell 13 and reduce the possibility of the protective door B20 flipping down and blocking the protective shell 13 when the anti-collision warning module 14 is located outside the protective shell 13.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
