Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cruise ship construction technology, specifically relating to a cruise ship canopy raising and guiding device. Background Technology
[0002] To provide passengers with high-end services during their voyages, luxury cruise ships are equipped with swimming pools as a place for passengers to relax and enjoy themselves. To make it convenient for guests to use the swimming pools on rainy days, large cruise ships will install a canopy structure above the swimming pools.
[0003] Utility model patent with publication number "CN213057407U" discloses a folding and sliding canopy structure for luxury cruise ships. This structure includes four tracks arranged parallel to each other on the deck from bow to stern, and first to fourth canopy panels corresponding to the four tracks. Each fourth canopy panel includes: a fourth horizontal frame; a fourth support rod vertically connected at its top to the stern end of the fourth horizontal frame and slidably connected at its bottom to the corresponding track; a fourth glass panel fixed to the upper surface of the fourth horizontal frame; and a fourth sliding groove formed on the lower surface of the fourth horizontal frame from bow to stern. The canopy structure is constructed of an aluminum alloy frame and glass panels mounted on it. It is relatively heavy and arched, allowing the canopy to slide linearly along the tracks and stop and brake at any point on the tracks. Therefore, each canopy panel has a braking device at one end. Since the brakes cannot obstruct the tracks when the canopy is fully closed, a section of track extends from one side of the canopy structure for braking and stopping. Figure 1 As shown, an inflatable sealing device is installed on the outside of the track, which will block the brake from passing. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a cruise ship canopy raising guide device, which enables the canopy to be completely closed and the brakes can avoid interference with the inflation sealing device when the canopy is retracted.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a cruise ship canopy raising and guiding device, comprising a cofferdam, a cofferdam support structure, a raising and guiding track, and lifting wheels.
[0006] The enclosure panel is a door frame type panel with multiple U-shaped grooves at the bottom.
[0007] The supporting structure for the enclosure is fixed at both ends on one side of the enclosure, with the top protruding beyond the height of the enclosure.
[0008] The top of the enclosure support structure is connected to the raised guide rail.
[0009] The dimensions of the lifting guide rail are matched with the dimensions of the lifting wheels.
[0010] The lifting rollers are located on the lower side of the skylight brake and are fixed with bolts. The lifting device is connected to the brake through the lifting rollers.
[0011] The height of the lifting guide device after it is connected to the brake is higher than the inflatable sealing panel of the canopy.
[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the enclosure has four U-shaped grooves, wherein the two middle U-shaped grooves are equally spaced and of equal size, and the two U-shaped grooves at both ends are equally spaced and of equal size.
[0013] Preferably, the enclosure support structure includes a connecting plate, a support structure, a track connecting plate, and a reinforcing structure. The support structure is welded vertically to the enclosure panel surface, the connecting plate is welded horizontally at the intersection of the enclosure panel surface and the support structure, and the track connecting plate is welded at the intersection of the connecting plate and the support structure. One end of the track connecting plate has a groove-shaped structure that connects to the raised guide track, and the other end has a connecting structure adapted to the connecting plate, which is connected to the connecting plate by bolts. A reinforcing structure is provided on the back of the track connecting plate.
[0014] Furthermore, one end of the track connecting plate is welded to the raised guide rail, and the other end is welded to the connecting structure of the track connecting plate.
[0015] Preferably, the lifting guide rail includes two parallel rails, one of which is set on the upper edge of the enclosure and integrated with the enclosure, and the other rail is set parallel above the enclosure and fixed by a rail connecting plate.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] This invention provides a cruise ship canopy raising and guiding device.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the technical solution of the present invention provides a cruise ship canopy raising and guiding device, characterized in that: the device includes a surrounding panel 1, a surrounding panel support structure 2, a raising and guiding track 3, and a lifting wheel 4;
[0027] Among them, the enclosure panel 1 is a door frame type panel with multiple U-shaped grooves at the lower end;
[0028] The enclosure support structure 2 is fixed at both ends on one side of the enclosure 1, with its top end protruding beyond the height of the enclosure 1;
[0029] The top of the enclosure support structure 2 is connected to the raised guide rail 3;
[0030] The dimensions of the lifting guide rail 3 are adapted to the dimensions of the lifting wheel 4;
[0031] The lifting wheel 4 is located on the lower side of the skylight brake 9 and is fixed by bolts. The lifting device is connected to the brake 9 through the lifting wheel 4.
[0032] The height of the lifting guide device after it is connected to the brake 9 is higher than the inflatable sealing panel 10 of the canopy.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, four U-shaped grooves are provided at the lower end of the enclosure 1, wherein the two middle U-shaped grooves are equally spaced and of equal size, and the two U-shaped grooves at both ends are equally spaced and of equal size.
[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the enclosure support structure 2 includes a connecting plate 5, a support structure 6, a track connecting plate 7, and a reinforcing structure 8. The support structure 6 is welded vertically to the surface of the enclosure 1. The connecting plate 5 is welded horizontally to the position where the enclosure 1 intersects with the support structure 6. The track connecting plate 7 has a groove-shaped structure at one end, connecting to the raised guide rail 3, and a connecting structure adapted to the connecting plate 5 at the other end, connected to the connecting plate 5 by bolts. A reinforcing structure 8 is provided on the back of the track connecting plate 7. In this embodiment, one end of the track connecting plate 7 is welded to the raised guide rail 3, and the other end is welded to the connecting structure of the track connecting plate 7. As a further optimization of the above embodiment, the raised guide rail 3 includes two parallel rails made of round steel. One rail is integrally formed with the enclosure 1 at its upper edge, and the other rail is parallel to the enclosure 1 above it and fixed by the track connecting plate 7.
[0035] The specific method for raising the cruise ship skylight brake 9 using the cruise ship skylight raising guide device in the technical solution of this invention is as follows:
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, firstly, the lifting wheel 4 is installed on the brake 9, and then the lifting guide rail of the guide lifting device is engaged with the lifting wheel 4. Figures 4 to 5 As shown, since the guide lifting device has a certain height, after using the guide lifting device, the brake 9 is higher than the inflatable sealing plate 10 in the vertical direction. At this time, the canopy is retracted by the canopy traveling wheel 11 and the canopy track 12. When the brake 9 is retracted, the brake 9 will not interfere with the inflatable sealing plate 10, thus avoiding the problem that the brake 9 cannot be completely retracted when the canopy is retracted due to interference between the brake 9 and the inflatable sealing device.
[0037] It should be noted that all directional and positional terms used in this invention, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," "top," "lower," "tail end," "head end," and "center," are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and connection situations between components in a specific state. They are merely for the convenience of describing the invention and do not require the invention to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.
