Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of deck fencing technology, and in particular to a combined structure of deck fencing and equipment support. Background Technology

[0002] In shipbuilding, the compass deck refers to the deck above the wheelhouse. Typically, antennas, searchlights, horns, and other equipment are installed on the compass deck, arranged in a circle along the deck railing. Due to the limited space on the compass deck, the deck surface and passageways are obstructed by various equipment and supports, affecting normal passage and maintenance.

[0003] Among these, the antenna refers to the radio navigation equipment. Whether the antenna can properly receive and transmit signals is a critical issue for the use of the equipment. Many factors can interfere with the antenna signal, such as the protruding steel structures on the compass deck, which can affect the antenna signal. Moreover, searchlights and horns are also important equipment on ships. If they are directly installed on the deck, the working direction of the searchlights and horns is fixed, and it is impossible to adjust the lighting direction according to the situation.

[0004] In summary, the existing equipment layout on the compass deck is prone to causing numerous interference factors for antenna signals. The searchlights and horns occupy a significant amount of space on the deck, which is not conducive to subsequent maintenance work and makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the lighting direction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the existing equipment layout on the compass deck is prone to causing many interference factors on the antenna signal, and the searchlights and horns occupy a lot of space on the deck, which is not conducive to subsequent maintenance work and makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the lighting direction.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a combined structure of a deck railing and an equipment support:

[0007] The combined structure of the deck railing and equipment support includes an antenna mast, a reinforcing rod, a crossbar, a searchlight bracket, and a horn bracket. The antenna mast and the reinforcing rod are fixedly installed on the deck surface, and the crossbar is connected between the antenna mast and the reinforcing rod to form a railing at the edge of the deck surface.

[0008] The upper end of the antenna mast is higher than the reinforcing rod and the crossbar. The upper end of the antenna mast is used to fix the antenna. The searchlight bracket and the horn bracket are respectively installed on the outside of the crossbar.

[0009] The searchlight bracket includes a first base plate, a rotating shaft, and a fan-shaped transmission structure. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the crossbar, and the axis of the rotating shaft is arranged along the length of the crossbar. The first base plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0010] The fan-shaped transmission structure is connected to the rotating shaft to prevent rotation. The center of the fan-shaped transmission structure is arranged concentrically with the central axis of the rotating shaft. The fan-shaped transmission structure is also connected to a driver for driving the first base plate and the searchlight to adjust the pitch angle.

[0011] The speaker bracket includes a second base plate and a reinforcing plate. The second base plate is fixedly connected to the crossbar, and the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected between the second base plate and the reinforcing rod. The upper side of the second base plate is used to fix the speaker.

[0012] Furthermore, the crossbar has two ports in the middle, which are distributed relatively apart. The ends of the rotating shaft are respectively inserted into the corresponding ports, and a bearing is provided between the rotating shaft and the port.

[0013] Furthermore, the fan-shaped transmission structure includes two side plates and an arc-shaped rack. One end of each of the two side plates is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of each of the two side plates is connected to the arc-shaped rack.

[0014] Furthermore, the driver is fixedly installed on the lower side of the sector-shaped transmission structure. The driver is a servo motor, and the drive shaft of the servo motor is equipped with a gear to prevent rotation. The gear meshes with the arc-shaped rack.

[0015] Furthermore, the angle between one of the side plates and the first seat plate is less than or equal to 90°, and the angle between the other side plate and the first seat plate is less than or equal to 75°.

[0016] Furthermore, at least two crossbars are provided, and the at least two crossbars are arranged vertically at intervals. The searchlight bracket and the horn bracket are both installed on the upper crossbar, and the driver is installed on the lower crossbar.

[0017] Furthermore, at least two reinforcing rods are provided, with the first base plate located between two of the reinforcing rods, and the first base plate and the two reinforcing rods are respectively connected by the reinforcing plates.

[0018] Furthermore, both the antenna mast and the reinforcing rod are steel pipes, and the outer diameter of the antenna mast is larger than the outer diameter of the reinforcing rod.

[0019] Furthermore, both the antenna mast and the reinforcing rod are provided with pads at their bottoms, which are used for welding or bolting to the deck surface, and the antenna mast is also provided with a top sealing plate at its upper end.

[0020] Furthermore, the antenna mast, the reinforcing rod, and the crossbar are also provided with protruding grounding posts.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the combined structure of deck railing and equipment support in this embodiment of the invention has the following advantages: the combined structure of deck railing and equipment support adopts the design of antenna mast, reinforcing rod, crossbar, searchlight bracket and horn bracket. The antenna mast and reinforcing rod are fixed to the deck surface, and the crossbar connects the antenna mast and reinforcing rod. The railing is formed by the horizontal and vertical intersections along the edge of the deck surface. The antenna is fixedly installed at the upper end of the antenna mast, and the upper end of the antenna mast is higher than the reinforcing rod and crossbar, so as to avoid interference with signal transmission and reception due to the presence of protruding steel structures around the antenna, and effectively eliminate interference factors that affect the antenna signal.

[0022] The searchlight and horn brackets are installed on the outer side of the crossbar to prevent them from occupying too much space on the deck, leaving ample space on the inner side of the compass deck for future maintenance. The searchlight bracket includes a first base plate, a rotating shaft, and a sector-shaped transmission structure. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the crossbar, and the first base plate and sector-shaped transmission structure are connected to it. Because the center of the sector-shaped transmission structure is concentric with the central axis of the rotating shaft, the drive unit always engages with the sector-shaped transmission structure during its rotation, ensuring that the first base plate and searchlight can be adjusted for pitch angle, thus allowing for flexible adjustment of the searchlight's illumination direction.

[0023] In addition, the horn bracket is designed with a second base plate and a reinforcing plate. The second base plate is fixedly connected to the crossbar, and the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected between the second base plate and the reinforcing rod, which enhances the structural stability of the horn bracket. The horn can be fixedly installed on the upper side of the second base plate, avoiding the occupation of the internal space of the deck surface, while ensuring the installation reliability of the horn.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a combined structure of a deck railing and equipment support, including an antenna mast 1, a reinforcing rod 2, a crossbar 3, a searchlight bracket 4, and a horn bracket 5. The antenna mast 1 and the reinforcing rod 2 are fixedly installed on the deck surface, and the crossbar 3 connects the antenna mast 1 and the reinforcing rod 2 to form a railing at the edge of the deck surface. The upper end of the antenna mast 1 is higher than the reinforcing rod 2 and the crossbar 3, and the upper end of the antenna mast 1 is used to fix and install the antenna. The searchlight bracket 4 and the horn bracket 5 are respectively installed on the outside of the crossbar 3.

[0033] The searchlight bracket 4 includes a first base plate 41, a rotating shaft 42, and a fan-shaped transmission structure 43. The rotating shaft 42 is rotatably mounted on the crossbar 3, and the axis of the rotating shaft 42 is arranged along the length of the crossbar 3. The first base plate 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42. The fan-shaped transmission structure 43 is anti-rotatingly connected to the rotating shaft 42. The center of the fan-shaped transmission structure 43 is concentric with the central axis of the rotating shaft 42. The fan-shaped transmission structure 43 is also connected to a driver 44, which is used to drive the first base plate 41 and the searchlight to adjust the pitch angle. The horn bracket 5 includes a second base plate 51 and a reinforcing plate 52. The second base plate 51 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 3, and the reinforcing plate 52 is fixedly connected between the second base plate 51 and the reinforcing rod 2. The upper side of the second base plate 51 is used to fix the horn.

[0034] The combined structure of the deck railing and equipment support adopts the design of antenna mast 1, reinforcing rod 2, crossbar 3, searchlight bracket 4, and horn bracket 5. Antenna mast 1 and reinforcing rod 2 are fixed to the deck surface, and crossbar 3 connects antenna mast 1 and reinforcing rod 2. The railing is formed by the horizontal and vertical arrangement along the edge of the deck surface. The antenna is fixedly installed on the upper end of antenna mast 1, and the upper end of antenna mast 1 is higher than reinforcing rod 2 and crossbar 3 to avoid interference with signal transmission and reception caused by protruding steel structures around the antenna, effectively eliminating interference factors that affect the antenna signal.

[0035] The searchlight bracket 4 and horn bracket 5 are respectively installed on the outer side of the crossbar 3 to prevent the searchlight and horn from occupying too much space on the deck, thus leaving sufficient space on the inner side of the compass deck for subsequent maintenance work. Furthermore, the searchlight bracket 4 includes a first base plate 41, a rotating shaft 42, and a sector-shaped transmission structure 43. The rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the crossbar 3. The first base plate 41 and the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 are respectively connected to the rotating shaft 42. Since the center of the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 is concentric with the central axis of the rotating shaft 42, during the rotation of the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 around the rotating shaft 42, the driver 44 is always in driving engagement with the sector-shaped transmission structure 43, ensuring that the first base plate 41 and the searchlight can be adjusted in pitch angle, thus achieving the purpose of flexibly adjusting the illumination direction of the searchlight.

[0036] In addition, the horn bracket 5 is designed with a second base plate 51 and a reinforcing plate 52. The second base plate 51 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 3, and the reinforcing plate 52 is fixedly connected between the second base plate 51 and the reinforcing rod 2, which enhances the structural stability of the horn bracket 5. The horn can be fixedly installed on the upper side of the second base plate 51, avoiding the occupation of the internal space of the deck surface, while ensuring the installation reliability of the horn.

[0037] In this embodiment, the crossbar 3 has two ports in its middle, which are spaced apart from each other. The ends of the rotating shaft 42 are inserted into the corresponding ports, and bearings 45 are also provided between the rotating shaft 42 and the ports. The two ports are equivalent to cutting off the middle of the crossbar 3, and the two ends of the cut-off part are the two ports. The rotating shaft 42 is inserted into the ports of the crossbar 3, and the bearings 45 improve the rotation accuracy and smoothness of the rotating shaft 42.

[0038] Specifically, the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 includes two side plates 431 and an arc-shaped rack 432. One end of each side plate 431 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42, and the other end of each side plate 431 is connected to the arc-shaped rack 432. Correspondingly, a driver 44 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the sector-shaped transmission structure 43. The driver 44 is a servo motor, and the drive shaft of the servo motor is fitted with a gear 440 to prevent rotation. The gear 440 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 432.

[0039] A servo motor drives a gear 440 to rotate. The gear 440 meshes with an arc-shaped rack 432, which in turn drives the arc-shaped rack 432 and the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 to rotate around a pivot 42, thereby driving the first base plate 41 and the searchlight to adjust their pitch angle. Because the servo motor provides precise angle control, and because the sector-shaped transmission structure 43 achieves a large transmission ratio speed reduction between the servo motor and the pivot 42, the angle adjustment accuracy of the first base plate 41 and the searchlight is further improved.

[0040] As a further preferred embodiment, the angle between one side plate 431 and the first base plate 41 is less than or equal to 90°, and the angle between the other side plate 431 and the first base plate 41 is less than or equal to 75°. Specifically, the angle between one side plate 431 and the first base plate 41 is 90°, and the angle between the other side plate 431 and the first base plate 41 is 75°. When the fan-shaped transmission structure 43 rotates to the point where one side plate 431 is opposite to the gear 440, that is, one side plate 431 is in a vertical state and the first base plate 41 is in a horizontal state, the searchlight illuminates along the horizontal plane; when the fan-shaped transmission structure 43 rotates to the point where the other side plate 431 is opposite to the gear 440, that is, the other side plate 431 is in a vertical state and the first base plate 41 is in a 15° tilted state, the searchlight illuminates in a downward angle at a 15° angle to the horizontal plane.

[0041] The system includes at least two horizontal supports 3, spaced vertically apart. The searchlight bracket 4 and the horn bracket 5 are both mounted on the upper horizontal support 3, and the driver 44 is mounted on the lower horizontal support 3. Handrails 6 are also spaced apart on the upper side of the horizontal supports 3, and are fixedly connected between the antenna mast 1 and the reinforcing rod 2. At least two reinforcing rods 2 are provided, with a first base plate 41 located between two of the reinforcing rods 2. Reinforcing plates 52 are connected between the first base plate 41 and each of the two reinforcing rods 2.

[0042] In addition, both antenna mast 1 and reinforcing rod 2 are made of steel pipe, with the outer diameter of antenna mast 1 being larger than that of reinforcing rod 2. Both antenna mast 1 and reinforcing rod 2 have a base plate 11 at their bottom, which is used for welding or bolting to the deck surface. The base plate 11 increases the contact area between antenna mast 1 and reinforcing rod 2 and the deck surface, resulting in better installation stability. Furthermore, antenna mast 1 has a top sealing plate at its upper end, which seals the upper end of the steel pipe, preventing water ingress and rust. Antenna mast 1, reinforcing rod 2, and crossbar 3 also have protruding grounding posts 12, ensuring reliable grounding of outdoor electrical equipment.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
