Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a detachable port edge protection device, and more specifically, discloses a technology for protecting the corner parts of a port. Background Technology

[0002] Ports should be equipped with facilities necessary for ships to berth. This is to ensure the safe anchorage of ships. At this point, ropes are used to connect and secure the ships to the port to prevent damage caused by waves and other factors. The corners and edges of the port can come into contact with the ropes used to secure the ships, potentially leading to damage. Several protective devices have been developed to protect these corners and edges of the port.

[0003] In the prior art, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2011-0008191 (published on August 18, 2011) relates to a corner protection device with a light, characterized in that it includes a fixing unit, one end of which is inserted into and fixed to the corner; a body, which is disposed at the corner and supported by the fixing unit; and a light-emitting lamp, which is disposed on one side of the body and used for emitting light.

[0004] However, the aforementioned prior art is used with filler material inside the main body. Therefore, when lighting devices or other devices are added, the filler material inside the main body cannot release heat, resulting in a high risk of malfunction. Furthermore, when the main body is damaged due to ropes or other factors, the entire main body needs to be replaced, which results in high operating and maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminology used is chosen with consideration for the functionality in the embodiments, and the meaning of these terms may vary depending on, for example, the intent of the user or operator, or convention. Therefore, the meaning of the terms used in the embodiments described below should be interpreted according to those definitions if specific definitions are provided in this specification, and otherwise according to the conventional meaning recognized by those skilled in the art if no specific definitions are provided.

[0026] Figure 1 This is an example diagram illustrating the installation of a detachable port edge protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention in a port. Figure 2 Is it set? Figure 1 A structural diagram of a port with a detachable port embankment device. Figure 3 It is used for explanation Figure 1 An example diagram of a detachable port edge protection device being extended and connected.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the detachable port edge protection device 100 includes a base plate 110, a fixing part 120, a top cover 130, and a side cover 140.

[0028] The base plate 110 is a metal frame with a bent cross-section. For example, the base plate 110 can be formed with a cross-section in the shape of a '└' or a 'ㄩ'. In this case, the base plate 110 is formed to a certain length, and multiple base plates 110 can be connected to extend its length. The ground on which the base plate 110 is provided can form steps corresponding to the width and height of the base plate 110. This is intended to prevent damage to the corner parts of the ground from salvage lines of ships by replacing the corner parts with edge protection devices 100.

[0029] Furthermore, a first locking portion 111 may be formed on one side of the base plate 110. The first locking portion 111 is configured to engage with the upper cover 130, which will be described later. Since the upper cover 130 is engaged with the base plate 110 when it is attached to the first locking portion 111, it can prevent the upper cover 130 from easily detaching from the base plate 110 due to external impact. In other words, the first locking portion 111 of the base plate 110 and the upper cover (130) can remain engaged even without bolts. In this case, the upper cover 130 and the base plate 110 can be slidably engaged or engaged by a press-fit structure, but are not necessarily limited to these.

[0030] Furthermore, a drain outlet 112 is formed on one side of the base plate 110, and multiple drainage channels 113 can be formed on the bottom and sides of the base plate 110. When rainwater or seawater penetrates the base plate 110, the drain outlet 112 discharges it to the outside. Each drainage channel 113 is formed in the form of a flow channel to drain the rainwater or seawater discharged through the drain outlet 112. In other words, the bottom and sides of the base plate 110 are partially spaced from the ground to form drainage channels 113. In this case, the position and size of the drain outlet 112 and drainage channels 113 can be varied according to the user's design.

[0031] Furthermore, the side of the base plate 110 has multiple bolt holes 114 for connection with the side cover 140 (described later) via bolts. Multiple base plates 110 can be connected and used together. For this purpose, the base plates 110 can be connected to each other using connecting pins 141. The connecting pins 141 can connect the base plates 110 without omitting the side cover 140. Each connecting pin 141 may have protruding pins on both sides and a stop in the center. In this case, adjacent base plates 110 are connected by connecting pins 141. Since the connecting pins 141 are slidably engaged with the side of the base plate 110, installation is very convenient.

[0032] The fixing part 120 secures the base plate 110 to the ground. In this case, the fixing part 120 can be formed as one or more. For example, each of the fixing parts 120 can be implemented in the form of a drop-in anchor. In this case, the screw cap of the fixing part 120 can be formed in the ground, and the bolt can be inserted into the bolt head through the base plate 110. This makes the installation of the base plate 110 easier and prevents the outer sheath of the internal power cord 153 from being cut.

[0033] Furthermore, the fixing part 120 can also be formed on the bottom surface and side surface of the base plate to fix the base plate 110. In this case, a through hole is formed in the base plate 110 for the fixing part 120 to pass through. More specifically, the fixing part 120 may include a first fixing bolt 121 and a second fixing bolt 122. The first fixing bolt 121 is inserted into the through hole in a direction perpendicular to the ground and fixes the bottom surface of the base plate 110 to the ground. The second fixing bolt 122 is inserted into the through hole in a direction parallel to the ground and fixes the side surface of the base plate 110 to the stepped side wall of the port 10. Thus, the base plate 110 can be fixed to the bottom surface and side surface of the stepped ground, thereby minimizing damage caused by external forces.

[0034] The upper cover 130 is detachably attached to the upper part of the base plate 110. More specifically, the outer side of the upper cover 130 may be formed into a curved shape. A second locking portion 131 may be formed on the inner side of the upper cover 130. The second locking portion 131 is formed to engage with the first locking portion 111 of the base plate 110. When the first locking portion 111 is engaged with the second locking portion 131, the upper cover 130 is fixed. In this case, the upper cover 130 can be attached to the base plate 110 by sliding or press-fitting. Then, the upper cover 130 can be fixed to the base plate 110 again by the cover bolt 132. Thus, the upper cover 130 can be firmly attached to the base plate 110 by the double-attachment method.

[0035] Furthermore, the top cover 130 can be detachably connected to the bottom plate 110. This is so that if the top cover 130 is damaged by the mooring lines used for connecting to the vessel, only the top cover 130 needs to be replaced. A reflector (not shown) may be formed on the outer surface of the top cover 130. The reflector can reflect light at night to guide the vessel to shore. This is to enable the vessel to dock at night without the use of lighting. In this case, the top cover 130 can be attached to the bottom plate 110 using cover bolts 132. Therefore, the top cover 130 can be easily installed and removed.

[0036] Side covers 140 are attached to the sides of the base plate 110. Side covers 140 function to seal both sides of the base plate 110. Side covers 140 are fixedly attached to multiple bolt holes 114 formed on the sides of the base plate 110 by bolts. Side covers 140 can be fastened while the base plate 110 is attached to the top cover 130. The interior of the side covers 140 may be filled with rubber material to prevent rainwater from penetrating. The thickness of each side cover 140 can be varied according to the user's design requirements.

[0037] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Detailed structural diagram of the lighting section in a detachable port edge protection device.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 4 According to another embodiment of the present invention, the detachable port guardrail device 100 may further include a lighting unit 150.

[0039] The lighting unit 150 is attached to one side of the base plate 110 and emits light outward. At this time, a lighting groove with a 'U'-shaped cross-section can be formed on one side of the base plate 110 so that the lighting unit 150 can be inserted into the lighting groove. The lighting unit 150 can be formed as a rod-shaped light-emitting diode (LED) 151. This is to facilitate guiding ships entering the port 10 at night to dock. The LED 151 can be fixedly attached to the side of the lighting groove by sliding or press-fitting.

[0040] Furthermore, the control circuit 152 of the lighting unit 150 is disposed inside the base plate 110. A through-hole is formed in the base plate 110, through which the power cord 153 connecting the LED 151 and the control circuit 152 passes. The lighting unit 150 can be connected to the power cord 153 to receive external power. In this case, the power cord 153 can be connected to the lighting unit 150 in parallel, and the power cord 153 can be connected to the lighting unit 150 along the inner side of the base plate 110. This is to simplify the operation and maintenance of the lighting unit 150. Therefore, when multiple base plates 110 are formed and extended, since the power cord 153 is connected internally along the base plate 110, no additional wiring track is required, and the power cord 153 can be connected over a longer distance.

[0041] Furthermore, the lighting unit 150 may be provided with a protective plate 154 to prevent the LED 151 from deteriorating due to sea breezes or rain. This protective plate 154 is made of a reflective material to reflect sunlight during the day, making the protective plate 154 identifiable. In this case, a first groove 115 and a second groove 116 may be formed on the base plate 110. The LED 151 can slide along the side of the first groove 115 and engage with it. The protective plate 154 can slide along the side of the second groove 116 and engage with it. This maintains a gap between the LED 151 and the protective plate 154. This is to prevent the protective plate 154 from deteriorating due to the heat generated by the LED 151.

[0042] Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A structural diagram showing the addition of a buffer section to a detachable port edge protection device. Figure 6 It is used for explanation Figure 5 A set of example diagrams showing how shocks are mitigated by using a detachable port embankment device with a buffer section.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 6 According to another embodiment of the present invention, the detachable port guardrail device 100 may further include a buffer section 160.

[0044] The buffer portion 160 may be formed in the form of a compression spring. One side of the buffer portion 160 is connected to the fixing portion 120, and the other side is connected to the upper cover 130. More specifically, the buffer portion 160 is connected to the first fixing bolt 121 of the fixing portion 120 and is supported perpendicular to the base plate 110. The buffer portion 160 is inserted into and supported by a buffer groove formed in the upper cover 130. In other words, the buffer portion 160 supports the upper cover 130 based on the base plate 110, thereby buffering the upper cover 130 from being squeezed by external pressure. In this case, a certain distance is maintained between the base plate 110 and the upper cover 130, so the impact of the cable 20 on the upper cover 130 can be reduced by the buffer portion 160.

[0045] In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the detachable port edge protection device 100 may further include a communication unit 170.

[0046] The communication unit 170 is formed inside the base plate 110 and communicates with an external communication terminal. The communication unit 170 can receive control signals from the external communication terminal. In this case, the control signals can control the lighting color, brightness, and on / off cycle of the lighting unit 150. This is to enable the administrator to remotely control part or all of the lighting unit 150 via the communication terminal. Therefore, after installing the detachable port edge protection device 100, the installation of the lighting unit 150 makes operation and maintenance more convenient.

[0047] In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the detachable port edge protection device 100 may further include an alarm unit 180.

[0048] An alarm unit 180 is formed inside the base plate 110 and is used to output alarm signals. For example, the alarm unit 180 can be implemented via a speaker. Furthermore, the alarm unit 180 can also output alarm signals via the lighting unit 150. Additionally, the alarm unit 180 can receive alarm signals from a remote communication terminal via the communication unit 170 and output alarm signals. This is to issue a danger warning when a person approaches the controlled area where the detachable port fencing device 100 is installed. In this case, the alarm signal can be implemented as an alarm sound such as a siren or an alarm alert sound. Therefore, accidents caused by people accidentally entering the vicinity of the detachable port fencing device 100 can be prevented.
