dock receiving equipment

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a dock receiving device, including a column, a receiving component, and an angle adjusting component. The column is fixed to the ground of the dock. The first end of the receiving component is connected to the column via the angle adjusting component, which adjusts the horizontal tilt angle of the receiving component. The second end of the receiving component, away from the column, extends upwards towards the vessel to be unloaded, thus blocking the gap between the dock and the vessel. Through this technical solution, during the unloading process, the receiving component of the dock receiving device can be positioned above the gap between the dock and the vessel. This allows the receiving component to block and collect materials spilling from the grab bucket of the unloader, preventing materials from falling into rivers, lakes, or seas, thus avoiding water pollution and material loss.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of dock material receiving technology, and more specifically, to a dock material receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] When the unloading machine grab bucket is unloading cargo from the ship, there is a certain gap between the ship and the dock. During the unloading process, the material scattered from the unloading machine grab bucket will fall into rivers, lakes and seas through the gap. On the one hand, the cargo may pollute the water sources, and on the other hand, it will also cause some material loss. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a dock receiving device to solve the technical problems existing in the related art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a dock receiving device, including a column, a receiving component, and an angle adjusting component. The column is fixed to the ground of the dock. The first end of the receiving component is connected to the column through the angle adjusting component. The angle adjusting component is used to adjust the tilt angle of the receiving component in the horizontal direction. The second end of the receiving component, away from the column, extends upward toward the vessel to be unloaded, so as to block the gap between the dock and the vessel.

[0005] Optionally, the receiving component includes a covering cloth and two telescopic rods. The covering cloth is connected between the two telescopic rods, and the ends of the telescopic rods are hinged to the column. When the telescopic rods extend or retract, they can drive the covering cloth to extend or retract synchronously.

[0006] Optionally, the receiving component further includes a steel wire rope and a fixing component. Each telescopic rod includes a first rod body and a second rod body. The first rod body is movably sleeved on the second rod body and can extend and retract along the length direction of the second rod body. The fixing component is provided at the end of the first rod body away from the column and at the end of the second rod body away from the column. The steel wire rope is threaded through the cover cloth. One end of the steel wire rope is connected to the fixing component provided on the first rod body of one telescopic rod, and the other end of the steel wire rope is connected to the fixing component provided on the first rod body of another telescopic rod.

[0007] Optionally, the outer surface of the tarpaulin is coated with a waterproof coating.

[0008] Optionally, the inclination of the receiving component is -45° to 45°.

[0009] Optionally, the column is a hydraulic rod, which can extend and retract in the vertical direction.

[0010] Optionally, the hydraulic rod includes a base, a piston, a top beam, and a hydraulic cylinder. The base is fixedly connected to the ground of the dock and has an upward-opening cavity. The piston is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the top beam and inserted into the cavity, dividing the cavity into a rod-type cavity and a rodless cavity. The hydraulic cylinder communicates with the rodless cavity.

[0011] Optionally, the dock receiving device further includes a distance sensor, which is disposed at the second end of the receiving component.

[0012] Optionally, the angle adjustment component includes a rotary motor, which is fixed on the column. The output shaft of the rotary motor is connected to the first end of the receiving component, so that when the output shaft rotates, it drives the receiving component to rotate.

[0013] Optionally, the angle adjustment component further includes a connector and a locking component. The connector includes a fixing part and a cylindrical part with a through hole inside. The fixing part is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical part. The output shaft of the rotary motor is inserted into the cylindrical part. The locking component is provided on the fixing part. The locking component is used to lock the first end of the receiving component on the fixing part.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, during the unloading process of ships, the receiving component of the dock receiving device can be placed above the gap between the dock and the ship. In this way, the receiving component can cover and collect the materials scattered from the grab bucket of the unloading machine, thereby preventing the materials from falling into rivers, lakes and seas, causing pollution to water sources and material loss.

[0015] Specifically, when there is a lot of cargo on the ship, the ship's waterline is deep, meaning the ship's height is lower than the dock's height. In this case, the aforementioned angle adjustment component can adjust the receiving component to be below the horizontal plane, i.e., the receiving component is tilted downwards. In this way, when the material falls onto the receiving component, it will move towards the ship's interior under its own gravity and eventually fall into the ship. The unloader's grab bucket can then unload that part of the material again. This not only achieves material recovery but also prevents material from accumulating on the receiving component, resulting in a better material receiving effect.

[0016] Similarly, when there is less cargo on the ship, the ship's waterline is shallower, meaning the ship's height is higher than the dock's height. In this case, the aforementioned angle adjustment component can adjust the receiving component to be above the horizontal plane, i.e., the receiving component is tilted upwards. In this way, when the material falls onto the receiving component, it will move towards the dock under its own weight and eventually fall onto the dock's ground. The workers can then collect and clean up this part of the material, achieving material recovery while preventing material from accumulating on the receiving component.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0027] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "up and down" are generally defined based on the normal operating condition of the dock receiving equipment. For details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1As shown. Furthermore, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding structures, while "far" and "near" refer to the distance from the corresponding structures. The aforementioned directional terms are used only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure. In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second," are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications.

[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a dock receiving device, including a column 10, a receiving component 20, and an angle adjusting component 30. The column 10 is fixed on the ground of the dock 3. The first end of the receiving component 20 is connected to the column 10 through the angle adjusting component 30. The angle adjusting component 30 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the receiving component 20 in the horizontal direction. The second end of the receiving component 20 away from the column 10 extends upward toward the vessel 2 to be unloaded, so as to block the gap between the dock 3 and the vessel 2.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, during the unloading process of the ship 2, the receiving part 20 of the dock receiving device 1 can be shielded above the gap between the dock 3 and the ship 2. In this way, the receiving part 20 can shield and collect the materials scattered from the grab bucket of the unloading machine, thereby preventing the materials from falling into rivers, lakes and seas, causing pollution to water sources and material loss.

[0030] Specifically, when there is a lot of cargo in the vessel 2, the waterline of the vessel 2 is deep, that is, the height of the vessel 2 is lower than the height of the dock 3. At this time, the aforementioned angle adjustment component 30 can adjust the receiving component 20 to be below the horizontal plane, that is, the receiving component 20 is tilted downwards. In this way, when the material falls onto the receiving component 20, it will move towards the inside of the vessel 2 under its own gravity and eventually fall into the vessel 2. The unloader's grab bucket can then unload the material again. This not only achieves the recovery of the material, but also prevents the material from accumulating on the receiving component 20, resulting in a better material receiving effect.

[0031] Similarly, when there is less cargo in vessel 2, the waterline of vessel 2 is shallower, meaning the height of vessel 2 is higher than the height of dock 3. In this case, the aforementioned angle adjustment component 30 can adjust the receiving component 20 to be above the horizontal plane, that is, the receiving component 20 is tilted upwards. In this way, when material falls onto the receiving component 20, it will move towards dock 3 under its own weight and eventually fall onto the ground of dock 3. The operators can then collect and clean up this part of the material, thus achieving material recycling while preventing material from accumulating on the receiving component 20.

[0032] To further facilitate the collection of fallen materials, in this disclosure, optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the receiving component 20 may include a covering cloth 21 and two telescopic rods 22. The covering cloth 21 is connected between the two telescopic rods 22, and the ends of the telescopic rods 22 are hinged to the column 10. When the telescopic rods 22 extend or retract, they can drive the covering cloth 21 to extend or retract synchronously. Thus, when the distance between the ship 2 and the dock 3 is large, the two telescopic rods 22 can be controlled to extend towards the ship 2. During the extension of the telescopic rods 22, the covering cloth 21 connected to the telescopic rods 22 can be extended synchronously, thereby widening the width of the covering cloth 21. Similarly, when the distance between the ship 2 and the dock 3 is small, the two telescopic rods 22 can be controlled to shorten towards the ship 2. During the shortening of the telescopic rods 22, the covering cloth 21 connected to the telescopic rods 22 can be extended or retract synchronously, thereby narrowing the width of the covering cloth 21 to adapt to the different covering requirements between the ship 2 and the dock 3.

[0033] In addition, when there is no need to unload, the telescopic rod 22 of the receiving part 20 can be extended to its shortest state, thereby improving the wind resistance of the receiving part 20.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the receiving component 20 may also include a wire rope 23 and a fixing component 24. Each telescopic rod 22 may include a first rod body and a second rod body. The first rod body is movably sleeved on the second rod body and can extend and retract along the length direction of the second rod body. The end of the first rod body away from the column 10 and the end of the second rod body away from the column 10 are both provided with fixing components 24. The wire rope 23 is passed through the cover cloth 21. One end of the wire rope 23 is connected to the fixing component 24 provided on the first rod body of one telescopic rod 22, and the other end of the wire rope 23 is connected to the fixing component 24 provided on the first rod body of another telescopic rod 22. The fixing member 24 is located at the end of the first rod away from the column 10 and the end of the second rod away from the column 10. In this way, the fixing member 24 located at the end will not interfere with or interfere with the extension and contraction of the second rod relative to the first rod. Furthermore, the wire rope 23 is threaded inside the cover cloth 21. In this way, the wire rope 23 can provide better support for the cover cloth 21 inside the cover cloth 21, thereby ensuring that the cover cloth 21 is flattened as much as possible during the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod 22, so as to better catch the scattered materials and facilitate the materials to roll onto the ship 2 or the dock 3 under their own weight.

[0035] The aforementioned telescopic rod 22 can be a hydraulic rod or a gear-track type telescopic rod 22, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] It should be noted that this disclosure does not limit the number of the first and second poles mentioned above. A suitable number can be set according to the distance between the vessel 2 and the dock 3. For example, in one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the total number of the first and second poles is three.

[0037] Optionally, the outer surface of the cover 21 is coated with a waterproof coating. The cover 21 coated with a waterproof coating can serve to prevent materials falling on the cover 21 from seeping through the cover 21 into the water below the cover 21 and causing water pollution.

[0038] This disclosure does not limit the specific material of the waterproof coating. For example, in one exemplary embodiment provided by this disclosure, the waterproof coating may be made of polyester material, or in other embodiments provided by this disclosure, the waterproof coating may be made of plastic or rubber. This disclosure will not elaborate further.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the inclination of the receiving component 20 can optionally be -45° to 45°. Within this angle range, it can ensure that the receiving component 20 can normally receive the scattered materials, and also meet the requirement that under different unloading conditions (ship height and dock 3 height), the scattered materials can roll onto the ship 2 or dock 3 under their own gravity.

[0040] In one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the column 10 may optionally be a hydraulic rod that can extend and retract in the vertical direction.

[0041] In another exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, optionally, the column 10 can be a rack, and the dock receiving device 1 can also include a gear meshing with the rack. The receiving component 20 can be connected to the end of the rack away from the gear. In this way, when the gear rotates, it can drive the rack and the receiving component 20 connected to the rack to move in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the receiving component 20.

[0042] Optionally, the hydraulic rod may include a base 11, a piston, a top beam 13, and a hydraulic cylinder 12. The base 11 is fixedly connected to the ground of the dock 3, and an upward-opening cavity is formed on the base 11. The piston is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the top beam 13 and inserted into the cavity, dividing the cavity into a rod-side cavity and a rodless cavity. The hydraulic cylinder 12 communicates with the rodless cavity. In this way, the hydraulic cylinder 12 controls the height of the top beam 13 relative to the base 11 by controlling the amount of oil injected into the rodless cavity.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 3As shown, the dock receiving device 1 also includes a distance sensor 40, which is disposed at the second end of the receiving component 20. By setting the distance sensor 40, the distance sensor 40 disposed at the second end can detect the distance between the second end of the receiving component 20 and the vessel 2. When the distance between the receiving component 20 and the vessel 2 is too large, the telescopic rod 22 can be extended; when the distance between the receiving component 20 and the vessel 2 is too small, the telescopic rod 22 can be shortened. There is no need for manual adjustment of the receiving component 20, thus freeing up manpower and reducing manual operation and maintenance costs. Moreover, compared with manual control of the distance between the receiving component 20 and the vessel 2, the distance sensor 40 also has higher adjustment accuracy.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, the distance sensor 40 can be a laser distance measuring instrument. Alternatively, in other embodiments provided in this disclosure, the distance sensor 40 can be an ultrasonic sensor or a radar sensor. In short, as long as it can meet the requirement of measuring the distance between the docking material 20 and the vessel 2, it is acceptable. This disclosure will not elaborate further here.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the angle adjustment component 30 may include a rotary motor 50, which is fixed on the column 10. The output shaft of the rotary motor 50 is connected to the first end of the receiving component 20, so that when the output shaft rotates, it drives the receiving component 20 to rotate. Specifically, when there is a lot of cargo in the vessel 2, the waterline of the vessel 2 is deep, that is, the height of the vessel 2 is lower than the height of the dock 3. At this time, the rotation of the rotary motor 50 can drive the receiving component 20 to rotate, thereby adjusting the receiving component 20 to a negative angle. In this way, the cargo falling on the receiving component 20 can move into the vessel 2 under its own gravity and eventually fall into the vessel 2. As the cargo on the vessel 2 decreases, the vessel 2 gradually rises. When the vessel 2 rises to the same height as the dock 3, in order for the cargo falling on the receiving component 20 to continue to automatically roll down to the vessel 2 or the dock 3, the dock receiving device 1 can have two adjustment methods, as shown below:

[0046] The first adjustment method is to adjust the angle of the receiving part 20 by rotating the motor 50 so that the receiving part 20 is at a positive angle (i.e., when the height of the ship 2 is higher than the height of the dock 3). This allows the material falling on the receiving part 20 to roll down onto the dock 3 along the inclined receiving part 20. When the angle of the receiving part 20 is at a larger positive angle (while the height of the receiving part 20 is still sufficient to receive the material), the hydraulic rod can be retracted. At this time, the end of the receiving part 20 near the hydraulic rod can be in a lower position. This reduces the height of the material falling on the receiving part 20 as it rolls down onto the dock 3, thereby reducing the impact and noise on the dock 3 during the material falling.

[0047] The second adjustment method is to first keep the receiving part 20 at a negative angle, and then extend the hydraulic rod synchronously as the cargo is unloaded. During this process, the material falling on the receiving part 20 can slide down into the ship 2 under its own gravity. When the hydraulic rod is extended to its maximum length but still cannot meet the receiving requirements, the receiving part 20 can be adjusted to a positive angle by rotating the motor 50 to raise the height of the receiving part 20. At this time, the material falling on the receiving part 20 can slide down into the dock 3 under its own gravity.

[0048] In addition, in order to reduce the speed of the rotary motor 50, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the angle adjustment component 30 may also include a reducer. The reducer may also be mounted on the upright and connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 50. The output shaft of the reducer may be connected to the receiving component 20. In this way, the rotation of the rotary motor 50 can drive the reducer to rotate, and the rotation of the reducer can in turn drive the rotation of the receiving component 20, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle of the receiving component 20.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the angle adjustment component 30 may further include a connecting component 31 and a locking component. The connecting component 31 includes a fixing part 320 and a cylindrical part 310 with a through hole inside. The fixing part 320 is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical part 310. The output shaft of the rotary motor 50 is inserted into the cylindrical part 310. A locking component is provided on the fixing part 320 to lock the first end of the receiving component 20 onto the fixing part 320. When connecting and fixing the receiving component 20, the cylindrical part 310 of the connecting component 31 can be fixed to the output shaft of the rotary motor 50 first, and then the receiving component 20 can be fixed to the fixing part 320 of the connecting component 31 by the locking component.

[0050] The locking component mentioned above can be a locking bolt. Specifically, a first mounting hole is provided on the fixing part 320, and a second mounting hole is provided on the receiving part 20. The locking bolt passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole in sequence to lock the receiving part 20 and the fixing part 320. Alternatively, the locking component can also be a screw. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole can be threaded holes, and the screw is threaded into the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole to lock the receiving part 20 and the fixing part 320.

[0051] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0052] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0053] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
