Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of brackets, in particular to a refueling hose bracket for a methanol-powered ship. Background Art

[0002] As global greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, climate change issues are becoming increasingly serious, and marine pollution is also increasing. The extensive use of traditional ship fuels has become a major obstacle to environmental protection. In order to reduce the pollution of ships to the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, more and more ships are following the trend of green, low-carbon and intelligent development, and the rise of new energy ships has led to a wave of converting traditional dual-fuel container ships into methanol dual-fuel powered ships. Data shows that compared with traditional fuels, renewable methanol can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90% in life cycle assessment (LCA), and as a room temperature liquid fuel, methanol is safer than LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, etc., and has become a development direction for new green fuels in the future of the shipping industry.

[0003] The modification of methanol-powered ships requires the addition of a dedicated methanol fuel filling station. The filling station includes an interface for adding methanol fuel. The small crane on the filling station lifts the hose on the filling ship and connects it to the interface of the filling station. Due to the characteristics of the hose, it is easy to put away when idle, so it is used in large quantities. During the use of the hose, due to the large mass of the transported liquid, the hose is very easy to deform, from round to elliptical, which in turn damages the hose and affects the transportation effect.

[0004] For example, the existing Chinese patent with publication number CN213954533U discloses a ship-to-shore connection hose bracket, which does not provide a good support effect on the hose wall during the transportation process.

[0005] Therefore, a refueling hose bracket for a methanol-powered ship is needed. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve all or part of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a refueling hose bracket for a methanol-powered ship, so as to solve the problem that during the transportation process of the hose proposed in the above technology, the hose is very easy to deform due to the large mass of the transported liquid, thereby damaging the hose and affecting the transportation effect.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a refueling hose bracket for a methanol-powered ship, comprising a storage box, expansion components are arranged on both sides of the storage box, the expansion components include a connector, a connecting plate 1 is arranged at one end of the connector, a connecting plate 2 is arranged at the end of the connecting plate 1 away from the connector, a connecting plate 3 is arranged at the end of the connecting plate 2 away from the connecting plate 1, and a connecting plate 4 is arranged at the end of the connecting plate 3 away from the connecting plate 2. The upper surfaces of the connecting plates 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all provided with placement grooves, and the inner sides are all provided with support mechanisms. First, the storage box is moved to the required position, and then the expansion component is unfolded as a whole, so as to increase the conveying support distance of the hose, and then the hose is placed above the placement groove and conveying begins. Subsequently, the amount of liquid conveyed in the hose increases continuously and the mass increases, so that it continuously generates a downward extrusion force on the support mechanism, forcing the support mechanism to support the side wall of the hose, effectively preventing the hose from undergoing huge deformation, thereby damaging the hose and affecting the conveying effect.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism includes a rubber airbag, which matches and is fixedly connected to the placement groove. Through holes are provided on both sides of the rubber airbag, and L-shaped grooves are provided inside the connecting plates 1, 2, 3 and 4. One end of the L-shaped groove is connected to the through hole and the arc surface of the rubber airbag is fixedly connected to the placement groove. Only the horizontal surface above the rubber airbag will be deformed. A supporting plate is slidably installed on the inner side of the other end of the L-shaped groove. When the mass of liquid in the hose becomes larger and larger, the rubber airbag will be continuously squeezed to deform the rubber airbag and squeeze the internal gas into the L-shaped groove through the through hole. As the gas inside the L-shaped groove increases, the gas is forced to lift the supporting plate and move it upward. Finally, the supporting plate contacts the side wall of the outer surface of the hose, and the hose is in close contact with the surface of the placement groove, thereby achieving a supporting effect for the hose throughout the entire process and ensuring normal transportation of the hose.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of limit plates are fixedly installed on the surface of the L-shaped groove. Since the plurality of limit plates are symmetrically arranged in two groups, the upper group prevents the support plate from leaving the L-shaped groove during the rising process, while the lower group fixes the initial position of the support plate, thereby ensuring the normal realization of the support effect.

[0010] Furthermore, storage grooves are provided on both sides of the storage box, and two protrusions are fixedly installed on the surface of the storage grooves. The connecting head is rotatably connected to the protrusions. Hinge mechanisms are rotatably installed between connecting plate 1 and connecting plate 2, between connecting plate 2 and connecting plate 3, and between connecting plate 3 and connecting plate 4. The structural composition and function of the multiple sets of hinge mechanisms are exactly the same. First, the connecting head is rotated 90° about its own axis. At this time, the connecting head and connecting plate 1 are in a horizontal state. Then, the connecting plate 2 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism, and then the connecting plate 3 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism. Finally, the connecting plate 4 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism to realize the overall rapid deployment of the expansion component. When folding, the overall folding of the expansion component can be completed by rotating 180° in the opposite direction in sequence and placed in the storage groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the hinge mechanism includes a rotating rod 1, a rotating rod 2 is arranged on one side of the rotating rod 1, a connecting piece is rotatably installed between the rotating rod 1 and the rotating rod 2, the rotating rod 1 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 1, the connecting plate 2 and the connecting plate 3, and the rotating rod 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2, the connecting plate 3 and the connecting plate 4. During the rotation and expansion process, the rotating rod 1 is first rotated 90° around the axis center, and then rotated 180° around the axis center of the rotating rod 2 to achieve a 180° rotation effect.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of retreat grooves are provided throughout the interior of the storage box, and an elastic member 1 is provided inside each of the retreat grooves. In an initial state, the expansion component matches the storage groove, forcing the elastic member 1 to be located in the retreat groove. When the expansion component is unfolded, the elastic member 1 is reset and comes under the connector, thereby fixing the angle of the connector and ensuring normal use.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic member 1 includes a pull rod slidably connected to the retreat groove, a pull ring is fixedly installed on one end of the pull rod, and a clamping block is fixedly installed on the other end of the pull rod, the clamping block matches the retreat groove and is slidably connected, a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the retreat groove, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping block. When the expansion component is placed in the storage groove, the pull ring is pulled to drive the pull rod to move horizontally, and the pull rod drives the clamping block to compress the spring so that the clamping block enters the interior of the retreat groove, and the expansion component can be placed in the storage groove. At this time, since the spring is compressed, it generates a continuous reset thrust, forcing the clamping block to press against the expansion component, thereby achieving a clamping effect on the expansion component. When the expansion component is unfolded, the spring resets and pushes the clamping block to move to the surface of the connector and contact it, preventing the angle of the connector from changing.

[0014] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the storage box, and universal wheels are fixedly installed on the four corners of the lower end of the storage box. The arrangement of the handle and the universal wheels makes it easy for the operator to move the entire device to a desired position, thereby improving convenience of use.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting groove is provided on one side of the connecting plate four on one side of the storage box, and an elastic member two is fixedly installed inside the connecting groove. A connecting block is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate four on the other side of the storage box, and the connecting block matches the connecting groove. The structural composition and function of the elastic member two and the elastic member one are exactly the same. By opening the connecting groove and setting the connecting block, multiple devices can be quickly connected after being unfolded, thereby further improving the use effect.

[0016] Furthermore, a rectangular groove is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate 4, and a telescopic leg is rotatably installed inside the rectangular groove. When the extension assembly is unfolded as a whole, the telescopic leg can be rotated ° and the height can be adjusted to achieve rapid support.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention proposes a refueling hose bracket for a methanol-powered ship. First, the storage box is moved to the required position, and then the expansion component is unfolded as a whole to increase the conveying support distance of the hose. The hose is then placed above the placement groove and conveying begins. Subsequently, the amount of liquid conveyed in the hose increases continuously and the mass increases, so that the support mechanism continuously generates a downward squeezing force on the support mechanism, forcing the support mechanism to support the side wall of the hose, effectively preventing the hose from undergoing huge deformation, thereby damaging the hose and affecting the conveying effect.

[0022] Combination Figure 1-2 , Figure 4 A methanol powered ship refueling hose bracket comprises a storage box 1, both sides of the storage box 1 are provided with an expansion component 2, the expansion component 2 comprises a connector 21, one end of the connector 21 is provided with a connector plate 1 22, the end of the connector plate 1 22 away from the connector 21 is provided with a connector plate 2 23, the end of the connector plate 2 23 away from the connector plate 1 22 is provided with a connector plate 3 24, the end of the connector plate 3 24 away from the connector plate 2 23 is provided with a connector plate 4 25, the connector plate 1 22 and the connector plate 2 23 are connected to the connector plate 3 24 and the connector plate 4 25 A placement groove 26 is provided on the upper surface, and a support mechanism 28 is provided on the inner side. First, the storage box 1 is moved to the desired position, and then the expansion component 2 is unfolded as a whole to increase the conveying support distance of the hose. Then the hose is placed above the placement groove 26 and conveying begins. Subsequently, the amount of liquid conveyed in the hose increases continuously and the mass increases, so that it continuously generates a downward squeezing force on the support mechanism 28, forcing the support mechanism 28 to support the side wall of the hose, effectively preventing the hose from undergoing a huge deformation, thereby damaging the hose and affecting the conveying effect.

[0023] Combination Figure 5The supporting mechanism 28 includes a rubber airbag 281, which matches and is fixedly connected to the placement groove 26. Through holes 282 are provided on both sides of the rubber airbag 281. L-shaped grooves 283 are provided inside the connecting plates 1 22, 23, 3, 4, and 25.

Only the horizontal surface above the rubber airbag 281 will be deformed. The other end of the L-shaped groove 283 is connected to the through hole 282. A support plate 284 is slidably installed on the inner side of the end. When the mass of liquid in the hose becomes larger and larger, the rubber airbag 281 will be continuously squeezed, causing the rubber airbag 281 to deform, and the internal gas will be squeezed into the L-shaped groove 283 through the through hole 282. As the gas inside the L-shaped groove 283 increases, the gas is forced to lift the support plate 284 and move it upward. Finally, the support plate 284 contacts the side wall of the outer surface of the hose, and the hose is tightly attached to the surface of the placement groove 26, thereby achieving a support effect on the hose throughout the entire process and ensuring the normal transportation of the hose.

[0024] Combination Figure 5 A plurality of limit plates 285 are fixedly installed on the surface of the L-shaped groove 283. Since the plurality of limit plates 285 are arranged in two symmetrical groups, the upper group prevents the support plate 284 from leaving the L-shaped groove 283 during the rising process, while the lower group fixes the initial position of the support plate 284 to ensure the normal realization of the support effect.

[0025] Combination Figure 3-4 , storage slots 11 are provided on both sides of the storage box 1, and two protrusions 12 are fixedly installed on the surface of the storage slot 11, and the connecting head 21 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 12, and hinge mechanisms 27 are rotatably installed between the connecting plate 1 22 and the connecting plate 2 23, between the connecting plate 2 23 and the connecting plate 3 24, and between the connecting plate 3 24 and the connecting plate 4 25. The structural composition and function of multiple sets of hinge mechanisms 27 are exactly the same. First, the connecting head 21 is rotated 90° about its own axis. At this time, the connecting head 21 and the connecting plate 1 22 are in a horizontal state, and then the connecting plate 2 23 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism 27, and then the connecting plate 3 24 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism 27, and finally the connecting plate 4 25 is rotated 180° about the axis of the hinge mechanism 27, so as to realize the rapid deployment of the entire expansion component 2, and when folding, the entire expansion component 2 can be folded and placed in the storage slot 11 by rotating 180° in the opposite direction in sequence.

[0026] Combination Fig.10The hinge mechanism 27 includes a rotating rod 1 271, a rotating rod 273 is arranged on one side of the rotating rod 1 271, a connecting piece 272 is rotatably installed between the rotating rod 1 271 and the rotating rod 2 273, the rotating rod 1 271 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 1 22, the connecting plate 2 23 and the connecting plate 3 24, the rotating rod 2 273 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2 23, the connecting plate 3 24 and the connecting plate 4 25, and in the process of rotation and expansion, the rotating rod 1 271 is first rotated 90° around the axis, and then the rotating rod 2 273 is rotated 90° around the axis, so that a 180° rotation effect can be achieved.

[0027] Combination Figure 3 A plurality of retreat grooves 13 are provided throughout the interior of the storage box 1, and an elastic member 14 is provided inside each of the retreat grooves 13.
