Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a remote-controlled rear radar scanner rotating base device, which belongs to the technical field of ship design. Background Art

[0002] As marine radar technology matures, it is becoming more and more common to place radar scanners at the rear of ultra-large containers. However, in order to ensure the working performance of the rear radar, it is often necessary to extend the scanner as a whole outboard when in use. This also causes the crew to climb up to adjust the scanner when using the radar, which is prone to safety risks, especially in bad weather. The commonly used radar scanner base is a fixed type, which often requires manual operation and is inconvenient to use. When the outdoor weather is bad, such as storms or rain and snow, it is impossible to arrange personnel to go to the outdoor deck for safety reasons. Summary of the invention

[0020] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0021] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps described in these embodiments, the numerical expressions and numerical values ​​do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technology, methods and equipment should be regarded as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention: the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below their position devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" may include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0024] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] The ship's operators often work in the wheelhouse, so remote control in the wheelhouse is very convenient. Figure 4 The control panel shown is arranged in the control console of the crew cab. Figure 3 The rear radar scanner rotating base shown is arranged on the stern lashing bridge, and the two are connected by cables and provide power to drive the rotating base and control panel.

[0032] When the power is on, if you want to rotate the base outboard, press Figure 4 The OUTWARD ROTATION START button on the control panel shown in the figure can drive the motor 4 to rotate. When the rotation position reaches Figure 3 Working position (USE LOCATION), the corresponding limit switch 1 works, causing the rotating base to stop and reach the specified position.

[0033] When the power is on, if you need to rotate the base to retract it from the outside, press Figure 4 The inward rotation button (INWARD ROTATION START) on the control panel shown in the figure can be used to drive the motor 4 to rotate. When the rotation position reaches Figure 3 Storage position (STORAGE LOCATION), the corresponding limit switch 1 works, causing the rotating base to stop and reach the specified position.

[0034] If both limit switches are broken, there is a third limit switch to prevent the base from spinning endlessly. Figure 4 The fault buzzer “FAILURE ALARM BUZZER” on the control panel shown will sound an alarm reminder.
