Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of guide devices, in particular to a guide device for a bulk carrier. Background Art

[0002] The bulk carrier guide device is an important device on ships used for loading and unloading bulk cargoes. The bulk carrier guide device can effectively guide the bulk carrier to dock accurately at the designated location when loading and unloading cargoes, thereby improving the unloading efficiency and reducing the occurrence of cargo damage and personnel safety accidents. The specific selection of the guide device needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as the ship type, cargo characteristics, and dock structure.

[0003] However, in the prior art, cable guide devices are mostly used to guide bulk carriers. Cables or cable fixing piles are installed at the dock, and the vertical tension of the cables is used to guide the ship to berth, ensuring that an appropriate distance is maintained between the ship and the dock. However, in actual use, although the docks are mostly established in calm sea areas with less wind and waves, after the bulk carrier enters the docking channel of the dock, the bulk carrier itself is affected by the wind and the influence of sea waves, and is prone to shaking in the channel. Since the cable is a flexible material, the tension on one side of the hull increases during the shaking of the bulk carrier, the cable will be stretched, and the tension on the other side will decrease. Because it is a flexible material, it cannot provide support for the bulk carrier, resulting in an increase in the swing amplitude of the bulk carrier, which makes loading and unloading of cargo more difficult. At the same time, the bulk carrier is prone to scratching against the structure in the channel, causing damage to the hull and the channel structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a bulk carrier guide device to solve the problem proposed in the above background technology that after the bulk carrier enters the docking channel of the dock, the bulk carrier itself is affected by the wind force and the influence of sea waves and is prone to sway in the channel. Since the cable is a flexible material, the tension on the cable on one side of the hull increases during the swaying of the bulk carrier, the cable will be stretched, and the tension on the other side of the cable decreases. Because it is a flexible material, it cannot generate supporting force for the bulk carrier, resulting in an increase in the swing amplitude of the bulk carrier, making it more difficult to load and unload cargo. At the same time, the bulk carrier is prone to scratching against the structure in the channel, causing damage to the hull and the channel structure.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a guide device for a bulk carrier, comprising a guide mechanism, a support mechanism fixedly connected to the side of the guide mechanism, the guide mechanism comprising a mounting frame and a buffer assembly, two No. 2 connecting brackets are rotatably connected to the end of the mounting frame, one end of the No. 2 connecting bracket is rotatably connected to a fixed bracket, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the fixed bracket, one end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to a connecting hub, and the other end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to a universal coupling, a buffer rubber ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting hub, a gearbox assembly is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame, one end of the universal coupling is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the gearbox assembly, a reduction motor is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame, the reduction motor is fixedly connected to the power input shaft of the gearbox assembly, one end of the buffer assembly is rotatably connected to the surface of the mounting frame, and the other end of the buffer assembly is rotatably connected to the end of the No. 2 connecting bracket;

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, after the bulk carrier docks, the No. 2 connecting plate is pushed to move by extending the hydraulic cylinder, so that the structure on the side of the No. 2 connecting plate is moved, and finally the buffer rubber ring is fitted with both sides of the bulk carrier. When the bulk carrier shakes during the docking process, the impact force generated by the shaking of the bulk carrier is buffered by the guide mechanism, the supporting mechanism and the auxiliary mechanism, and the bulk carrier and the channel structure are protected. The hydraulic cylinders on both sides of the bulk carrier are extended to clamp the bulk carrier, thereby improving the stability of the bulk carrier inside the channel.

[0019] 2. In the present invention, when the bulk carrier is navigating in the channel and the speed is too fast, the gearbox assembly is driven by the reduction motor, and then the gearbox assembly drives the universal coupling to rotate, and the connecting hub and the buffer rubber ring are driven to rotate by the universal coupling, so that a driving force opposite to the moving direction is generated on both sides of the bulk carrier to help the bulk carrier to slow down. When the speed of the bulk carrier is too slow, the reduction motor rotates in the reverse direction, so that the buffer rubber ring rotates in the reverse direction, and a driving force in the same direction as the moving direction is generated on both sides of the bulk carrier, which pushes the bulk carrier to dock stably.

[0020] 3. In the present invention, when the guide mechanism and the supporting mechanism buffer the impact force generated by the bulk carrier, the No. 1 fixing plate will move toward the side close to the No. 1 connecting box. At this time, the No. 1 fixing plate will drive the No. 2 fixing plate and the No. 3 connecting bracket to move toward the side close to the No. 2 connecting box. The No. 3 connecting bracket will drive the No. 2 fixing rod to push the No. 3 connecting plate to move toward the inside of the No. 2 connecting box, so that the No. 2 telescopic damping rod and the No. 3 spring are compressed, and the impact is also buffered. When the No. 3 connecting plate moves toward the inside of the No. 2 connecting box, the water inside the No. 2 connecting box will be squeezed, which will generate a certain amount of water pressure and form resistance. The impact force is buffered again by the resistance of the water pressure, and the bulk carrier and the channel structure are fully protected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] A plurality of No. 1 springs 111 are fixedly connected inside the buffer rubber ring 110, and the plurality of No. 1 springs 111 are distributed in a ring shape on the inner wall of the buffer rubber ring 110. The No. 1 spring 111 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting hub 17. The mounting frame 11, the No. 2 connecting bracket 14 and the buffer assembly 15 form a triangular structure. A No. 1 connecting bracket 12 is arranged on the side of the No. 2 connecting bracket 14.

When the bulk carrier shakes during the docking process, the guiding mechanism 1, the supporting mechanism 2 and the auxiliary mechanism 3 are used to buffer the impact force generated by the shaking of the bulk carrier, and the bulk carrier and the channel structure are protected. The hydraulic cylinders 212 on both sides of the bulk carrier are extended to clamp the bulk carrier, thereby improving the stability of the bulk carrier inside the channel.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, an auxiliary mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the No. 1 fixing plate 21, and the auxiliary mechanism 3 is used to increase the resistance of the No. 1 fixing plate 21 when it moves to the side of the No. 1 connecting box 24. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a No. 2 fixing plate 31 and a No. 2 connecting box 36. The No. 2 fixing plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the No. 1 fixing plate 21. The lower end of the No. 2 fixing plate 31 is fixedly connected to a No. 3 connecting bracket 32. The side of the No. 3 connecting bracket 32 ​​is fixedly connected to a No. 2 fixing rod 33. The end of the No. 2 fixing rod 33 is fixedly connected to a No. 3 connecting plate 34. The side of the No. 3 connecting plate 34 is fixedly connected There is a No. 2 telescopic damping rod 39, a No. 2 connecting box 36 is fixedly connected to the No. 2 telescopic damping rod 39, a No. 2 mounting plate 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the No. 2 connecting box 36, a No. 3 spring 310 is arranged on the surface of the No. 2 telescopic damping rod 39, one end of the No. 3 spring 310 is fixedly connected to the No. 3 connecting plate 34, and the other end of the No. 3 spring 310 is fixedly connected to the No. 2 connecting box 36, a sealing ring 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the No. 3 connecting plate 34, the sealing ring 35 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the No. 2 connecting box 36, and a through hole 37 is arranged on the surface of the No. 2 connecting box 36.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the guide mechanism 1 and the support mechanism 2 buffer the impact force generated by the bulk carrier, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will move toward the side close to the No. 1 connecting box 24. At this time, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will drive the No. 2 fixing plate 31 and the No. 3 connecting bracket 32 ​​to move toward the side close to the No. 2 connecting box 36. At this time, the No. 3 connecting bracket 32 ​​will drive the No. 2 fixing rod 33 to push the No. 3 connecting plate 34 to move inside the No. 2 connecting box 36, so that the No. 2 telescopic damping rod 39 and the No. 3 spring 310 are compressed, and the impact is also buffered. When the No. 3 connecting plate 34 moves into the No. 2 connecting box 36, the water inside the No. 2 connecting box 36 will be squeezed, and the water will be discharged outward through the through hole 37.

The impact force is buffered again by the resistance of the water pressure, and the bulk carrier and the channel structure are fully protected.

[0040] Embodiment 3

[0041] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a reduction motor 18 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame 11, and the reduction motor 18 is fixedly connected to the power input shaft of the gear box assembly 19. A No. 1 limiting plate 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the No. 1 connecting plate 23. A limiting groove 27 is arranged on the inner wall of the No. 1 connecting box 24. The No. 1 limiting plate 28 is located inside the limiting groove 27 and is slidably connected to the No. 1 connecting box 24. A No. 2 limiting plate 29 is fixedly connected to the surface of the No. 2 connecting plate 26. The No. 2 limiting plate 29 is located inside the limiting groove 27 and is slidably connected to the No. 1 connecting box 24.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the bulk carrier is sailing in the channel, if the speed is too fast, the gearbox assembly 19 is driven by the reduction motor 18, and then the gearbox assembly 19 drives the universal coupling 16 to rotate, and the universal coupling 16 drives the connecting hub 17 and the buffer rubber ring 110 to rotate, so that a driving force opposite to the moving direction is generated on both sides of the bulk carrier to help the bulk carrier slow down. When the speed of the bulk carrier is too slow, the reduction motor 18 rotates in the reverse direction, so that the buffer rubber ring 110 rotates in the reverse direction, and a driving force in the same direction as the moving direction is generated on both sides of the bulk carrier, so that the bulk carrier is pushed to dock stably;

[0043] When the impact force of the bulk carrier is transmitted to the No. 1 fixing plate 21 through the guide mechanism 1, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will push the No. 1 fixing rod 22 and the No. 1 connecting plate 23. At this time, the No. 1 connecting plate 23 slides along the inside of the No. 1 connecting box 24. The stability of the No. 1 connecting plate 23 when sliding is improved by the limitation of the No. 1 limiting plate 28 and the limiting groove 27. Similarly, the stability of the No. 2 connecting plate 26 when sliding inside the No. 1 connecting box 24 is improved by the limitation of the No. 2 limiting plate 29 and the limiting groove 27.

[0044] The use method and working principle of the device are as follows: the No. 1 mounting plate 25 and the No. 2 mounting plate 38 are respectively mounted on both sides of the channel for the bulk carrier to enter the port by fixing bolts, and the No. 2 connecting box 36 is mounted below the water surface. When the bulk carrier enters the berthing channel for berthing, when the bulk carrier deviates to one side of the channel while sailing in the channel, the side of the hull will come into contact with the surface of the buffer rubber ring 110, at which time the No. 1 spring 111 will produce compression deformation, and at the same time, the buffer assembly 15 will produce telescopic deformation, so as to buffer the impact when the hull contacts the buffer rubber ring 110. At the same time, the impact force will be transmitted to the surface of the No. 1 fixing plate 21 through the guide mechanism 1, so that the No. 1 telescopic damping rod 210 and the No. 2 spring 211 inside the No. 1 connecting box 24 will produce compression deformation, and the impact will be slid. The reaction force of the No. 1 spring 111, the buffer assembly 15, the No. 2 spring 211 and the No. 1 telescopic damping rod 210 to restore the deformation will push the side of the hull that has deviated, so as to help the bulk carrier correct its course and guide the bulk carrier;

[0045] When the bulk carrier is sailing in the channel, if the speed is too fast, the gearbox assembly 19 is driven by the reduction motor 18, and then the gearbox assembly 19 drives the universal coupling 16 to rotate, and the universal coupling 16 drives the connecting hub 17 and the buffer rubber ring 110 to rotate, so as to generate a driving force opposite to the moving direction on both sides of the bulk carrier, which helps the bulk carrier to slow down. When the speed of the bulk carrier is too slow, the reduction motor 18 rotates in the reverse direction, so that the buffer rubber ring 110 rotates in the reverse direction, and generates a driving force on both sides of the bulk carrier in the same direction as the moving direction;

[0046] When the guide mechanism 1 and the support mechanism 2 buffer the impact force generated by the bulk carrier, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will move toward the side close to the No. 1 connecting box 24. At this time, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will drive the No. 2 fixing plate 31 and the No. 3 connecting bracket 32 ​​to move toward the side close to the No. 2 connecting box 36. At this time, the No. 3 connecting bracket 32 ​​will drive the No. 2 fixing rod 33 to push the No. 3 connecting plate 34 to move inside the No. 2 connecting box 36, so that the No. 2 telescopic damping rod 39 and the No. 3 spring 310 are compressed, and the impact is also buffered. When the No. 3 connecting plate 34 moves into the No. 2 connecting box 36, the water inside the No. 2 connecting box 36 will be squeezed, and the water will be discharged outward through the through hole 37. The impact will generate an instantaneous force, so that the No. 3 connecting plate 34 quickly moves into the No. 2 connecting box 36. The water inside the No. 2 connecting box 36 cannot be discharged instantly through the through hole 37, and a certain water pressure will be generated to form resistance, and the impact force is buffered again by the resistance of the water pressure;

[0047] When the bulk carrier deviates to one side of the channel at a large angle, and the reaction force of the No. 1 spring 111, the buffer assembly 15, the No. 2 spring 211 and the No. 1 telescopic damping rod 210 to restore the deformation is difficult to guide the direction of travel of the hull, the No. 2 connecting plate 26 is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder 212, and the driving force is finally transmitted to the surface of the buffer rubber ring 110 in the guide mechanism 1 through the No. 1 telescopic damping rod 210, the No. 2 spring 211, the No. 1 connecting plate 23, the No. 1 fixing rod 22 and the No. 1 fixing plate 21, and the driving force of the hydraulic cylinder 212 helps the bulk carrier to correct the channel;

[0048] When the impact force of the bulk carrier is transmitted to the No. 1 fixing plate 21 through the guide mechanism 1, the No. 1 fixing plate 21 will push the No. 1 fixing rod 22 and the No. 1 connecting plate 23. At this time, the No. 1 connecting plate 23 slides along the inside of the No. 1 connecting box 24, and is limited by the No. 1 limiting plate 28 and the limiting groove 27. Similarly, it is limited by the No. 2 limiting plate 29 and the limiting groove 27.

[0049] After the bulk carrier docks, the second connecting plate 26 is pushed to move by extending the hydraulic cylinder 212, so that the structure on the side of the second connecting plate 26 moves, and finally the buffer rubber ring 110 fits with the two sides of the bulk carrier. When the bulk carrier shakes during the docking process, the impact force generated by the shaking of the bulk carrier is buffered by the guide mechanism 1, the support mechanism 2 and the auxiliary mechanism 3.
