Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore construction, in particular to an anchor buoy comprising a common mounting base for a radar reflector and a navigation light. Background Art

[0002] During anchoring operations in marine engineering, an anchor buoy is connected to an anchor or cable in the water via an anchor head cable and floats on the surface. Its main functions are to mark the anchor's position, lift it off the cable to a certain height to allow anchoring across underwater pipes and cables, and mark the boundaries of the construction area. When the construction area is located in or near a busy waterway, or when operating offshore, the anchor buoy is often required to be equipped with a radar reflector or navigation light. This provides a clear warning signal to the anchor buoy while floating on the water, preventing collisions between passing vessels and the anchor buoy and ensuring the safety of both the vessel and the anchor buoy. The anchor buoys used in marine engineering are typically cylindrical buoys with a steel foam core. They feature a simple structure, are impact-resistant, and durable. However, to prevent the anchor buoy from colliding with the hull or deck during anchoring operations, the buoy's surface is typically not equipped with any other structures other than necessary lugs and anti-collision structures, making it impossible to directly install radar reflectors and navigation lights on the buoy. Furthermore, there are two main installation methods for radar reflectors and navigation lights: bolt-on mounting and support rod mounting. Different installation methods of radar reflectors and navigation lights also place different requirements on the applicability of the mounting base. Summary of the Invention
