Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of marine safety equipment technology, specifically relating to a splicing device for an inflatable life raft. Background Technology

[0002] During ship voyages, there are situations where danger arises requiring personnel to jump overboard to escape. Currently, ships are generally equipped with life rafts as escape devices. Life rafts are classified into rigid life rafts and inflatable life rafts according to their structure. Rigid life rafts have a simple structure and low cost, but they are large, heavy, and have limited passenger capacity. Inflatable life rafts can be folded and stored on the ship, and have a compact structure, are easy to operate, and can be quickly assembled. However, for ships navigating at sea, due to the large waves, the existing inflatable life rafts are small in size and have limited resistance to wind and waves, posing a risk of capsizing and potentially endangering the personal safety of passengers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application proposes a splicing device for inflatable life rafts: including a base plate, with a connecting component on the center line of the base plate; the base plate can connect two inflatable life rafts through the connecting component, and the two inflatable life rafts are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line of the base plate.

[0004] Furthermore, the connection component includes:

[0005] The gantry is vertically connected to the upper surface of the base plate.

[0006] Several columns are installed on the gantry and arranged perpendicularly to the base plate;

[0007] A life raft connector is provided on each of the columns.

[0008] Furthermore, the plane where the life raft connector is located is perpendicular to the plane where the gantry is located.

[0009] Furthermore, the gantry includes:

[0010] Connecting beams, two of which are perpendicularly connected to the upper surface of the base plate, and the two connecting beams are respectively located at both ends of the centerline of the base plate;

[0011] A crossbeam, connected to the top of the two connecting beams, is used to pass through the column.

[0012] Furthermore, there are four columns, and the life raft connectors are arranged in pairs, each facing one side of the gantry.

[0013] Furthermore, the column is movably connected to the gantry, and the column is capable of rotating around itself.

[0014] Furthermore, a column knob is provided at the top of the column.

[0015] Furthermore, the column has an axially arranged slot, and a pin perpendicular to the column passes through the slot via a bearing. The life raft connector is fixedly connected to the pin. The length of the slot must ensure that the life raft connector can be accommodated within it as much as possible.

[0016] Furthermore, a connector knob is provided at the end of the connector rotating shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, the connection point between the life raft connector and the inflatable life raft is equipped with a rubber pad.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0019] This invention can be installed in all directions of an inflatable life raft. One splicing device can connect two inflatable life rafts, and multiple splicing devices can be used to splice multiple inflatable life rafts. After multiple inflatable life rafts are spliced ​​together, they are mutually restrained, which strengthens their resistance to wind and waves and greatly reduces the risk of capsizing.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, this application proposes a splicing device for an inflatable life raft, including a base plate 1, with inflatable life rafts 9 placed on both sides of the base plate 1. A connecting beam 2 is installed above the center line of the base plate 1 and connected to the base plate 1. Four uprights 3 are evenly distributed between the base plate 1 and the connecting beam 2. Each of the four uprights 3 has an upright knob 4 installed at its upper end. Each of the four uprights 3 has a life raft connector 5 installed inside its interior. A sliding rod 8 is installed below the life raft connector 5 inside the four uprights 3. Each of the four life raft connectors 5 has a connector knob 6 installed on its surface. A rubber pad 7 is installed at the connection point between the life raft connector 5 and the inflatable life raft 9.

[0026] This application, by setting a column knob, enables the rotation of the column and life raft connector, reducing storage space; by setting a life raft connector knob and slide bar, this application enables the connector to move in multiple directions to adapt to the installation and use of inflatable life rafts of different shapes; by setting a rubber pad, this application makes the inflatable life raft more secure; this device controls the connection between two inflatable life rafts through a base plate, connecting beam, column, and life raft connector, thereby improving the stability of the inflatable life raft and increasing the safety factor of the passengers inside.

[0027] In actual use, place the inflatable life raft 9, which has been fully inflated, on the water surface. Then, place one side of the base plate 1 below the edge of the inflatable life raft 9. Rotate the column knob 4 so that the life raft connector 5 extends into one side of the inflatable life raft. Adjust the life raft connector 5 up and down using the slide bar 8 to lock it into place with the inflatable life raft 9. Adjust the connector knob 6 to lock the life raft connector 5 and the life raft 9 completely, so that the base plate 1, connecting beam 2, column 3, connector 5 and inflatable life raft 9 are completely secure. Install the other side of the inflatable life raft 9 in the same way to complete the splicing of the two inflatable life rafts 9.

[0028] In summary, these are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present invention and the contents of the specification are within the scope of the present invention.
