[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" and the like indicate positions or locations based on the positions shown in the accompanying drawings, or the positions or locations in which the inventive product is typically placed when in use.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "overhanging" do not necessarily imply that a component must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0043] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, current conventional designs can present risks of collision, shaking, or getting stuck during the launch and retrieval process. Because a gangway is typically located on the superstructure deck 10 below the lifeboat platform, it's impossible to install support columns or other blocking structures at the edge of the deck 10 within the stowage area. Without these structures, the lifeboat can rock or rotate due to the ship's motion during launch and retrieval, sometimes even becoming stuck on the superstructure, impacting normal operation and creating significant risks.

[0044] In view of this, if Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the foldable boat baffle structure provided in this embodiment includes: a foldable baffle 100, an eaves structure 200 and a tying rope 300; the eaves structure 200 is used to connect with the deck 10, and the foldable baffle 100 is rotatably connected to the eaves structure 200 so that the foldable baffle 100 can switch between an expanded state and a folded state; when the foldable baffle 100 is in the expanded state, the foldable baffle 100 is rotated to the bottom of the eaves structure 200, and the foldable baffle 100 and the eaves structure 200 are located on the same vertical plane; when the foldable baffle 100 is in the folded state, the foldable baffle 100 is rotated to the side of the eaves structure 200 away from the deck 10, the foldable baffle 100 is arranged parallel to the eaves structure 200, and the eaves structure 200 is connected to the deck 10 by the tying rope 300.

[0045] The foldable boat blocking structure provided in this embodiment includes: a foldable baffle 100, an eaves plate structure 200 and a lashing rope 300; when the boat needs to be blocked, the connection between the lashing rope 300 and the deck 10 is loosened, and the foldable baffle 100 is slowly lowered due to the rotation connection between the foldable baffle 100 and the eaves plate structure 200. The foldable baffle 100 is fully unfolded and fully covers the lifeboat retrieval route. When the lifeboat is thrown and retrieved, the existence of the foldable baffle 100 will prevent the lifeboat from shaking or getting stuck, ensuring the lifeboat can be rescued. The lifeboat can be smoothly folded up and down. After the boat is thrown or retrieved, the folding baffle 100 is slowly pulled up to a position parallel to the eaves structure 200, and the deck 10 is connected to the folding baffle 100 with a lashing rope 300. The folding baffle 100 is folded and fixed, which is more beautiful and alleviates the technical problem in the prior art that there is no blocking structure, and the lifeboat will shake or rotate due to the movement of the ship during the folding and deploying process, and sometimes it will even be stuck by the upper structure, affecting the normal operation of the lifeboat and causing huge risks.

[0046] Regarding the structure and shape of the folding baffle 100, specifically:

[0047] The folding baffle 100 is a plate-like structure. The folding baffle 100 can rotate around the rotating hinge 400, so that the folding baffle 100 can be adjusted to a folded state or an unfolded state. When the folding baffle 100 is in the folded state, the folding baffle 100 is located on the side of the eaves structure 200 away from the deck 10, and the folding baffle 100 is arranged parallel to the eaves structure 200. In addition, it should be noted that the parallel arrangement does not necessarily need to be completely parallel, and the folding baffle 100 can be folded.

[0048] Regarding the structure and shape of the rotating hinge 400, specifically:

[0049] The rotating hinge 400 has two movable ends, which are hinged by an axis. The two movable ends are respectively connected to the folding baffle 100 and the eaves structure 200 by bolts, so that the folding baffle 100 can rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the folding baffle 100 relative to the eaves structure 200.

[0050] When the folding baffle 100 is rotated to the retracted state, in order to fix the folding baffle 100, a tying rope 300 is set, a first tying eye 510 is set on the baffle panel 500 at the end of the folding baffle 100, and a second tying eye 11 is set on the deck 10. The two ends of the tying rope 300 are respectively tied to the first tying eye 510 and the second tying eye 11, so that the folding baffle 100 can be fixed and retracted to prevent the folding baffle 100 from unfolding.

[0051] In order to support the lashing ropes 300 , round steel 210 is provided at the end of the eaves plate structure 200 , and the arc surface of the round steel 210 abuts against the lashing ropes 300 to prevent the lashing ropes 300 from being damaged by sharp angles.

[0052] In order to form a combination of the folding baffle 100, the eaves structure 200 and the railing of the deck 10, a baffle railing 600 is set on the baffle panel 500 at the end of the folding baffle 100. When the folding baffle 100 is in a folded state, the folding railing is located above the folding baffle 100, and the folding railing is flush with the railing on the deck 10. When the folding baffle 100 is in an unfolded state, the folding railing rotates with the folding baffle 100, and the folding railing rotates to the bottom of the folding baffle 100.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to connect the folding railing to the railing on the deck 10, a railing eye 610 is provided on the folding railing, one end of the railing lashing rope 620 is connected to the railing eye 610, and the other end of the railing lashing rope 620 is connected to the railing on the deck 10, so that the folding railing and the railing on the deck 10 are an integral combination.

[0054] The foldable boat stop structure provided in this embodiment welds the baffle panel 500 to the end of the folding baffle 100, and welds the baffle railing 600 to the baffle panel 500, and then uses the rotating hinge 400 to rotatably connect the folding baffle 100 and the eaves structure 200. When the boat stop is required, the railing lashing rope 620 connecting the baffle railing 600 and the adjacent deck 10 railing is untied, and the lashing rope 300 connecting the second lashing eye 11 on the deck 10 and the first lashing eye 510 on the baffle panel 500 is loosened, and the folding baffle 100 is slowly lowered, and the boat stop structure is fully unfolded. At this time, due to the existence of the boat stop structure, the lifeboat will not be shaken or stuck when the boat is thrown or retrieved. When the boat throwing or collecting work is completed, the folding baffle 100 is slowly pulled up by the lashing rope 300. After the baffle railing 600 is flush with the railing on the upper deck 10, the second lashing eye 11 and the first lashing eye 510 on the deck 10 are connected by the lashing rope 300.

[0055] The vessel provided in this embodiment includes a foldable boat retaining structure.

[0056] Since the technical effect of the ship provided by this embodiment is the same as the technical effect of the foldable boat retaining structure provided by the above embodiment, it will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
