[0027] The present invention will be further described below with specific embodiments:

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a shore power cable guide wheel device layout system for ships. The shore power cable guide wheel device layout system is constructed with a shore power cable guide wheel device 1 as the core. Its main goal is to achieve the demand of "a set of shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can meet the need of connecting to shore power on the left and right sides of the ship when it is docked."

[0029] It should be noted that the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 mentioned in this article has a main structure composed of a device of the prior art, and the basic structure and function realization of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] In order to achieve the purpose, the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is improved in this embodiment.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, six electrically controlled rollers 11 are installed at the bottom of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 (the lower part of the base), and a corresponding electric controller 12 is also configured on the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 (next to the main control distribution box). The electric controller 12 is connected to the main control distribution box through an extendable cable. The electrically controlled rollers 11 are controlled by the electric controller 12. The electric controller 12 is provided with a start / stop button 121 and a direction control joystick 122 for controlling the movement (rotation and steering) of the electrically controlled rollers 11. In this way, the movement of the electrically controlled rollers 11 can be controlled by the electric controller 12, thereby controlling the movement of the entire shore power cable guide wheel device 1. In other words, the improved shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can be controlled to move, rather than being fixed in the prior art.

[0032] See also Figure 3 In addition to the shore power cable guide wheel device 1, the shore power cable guide wheel device layout system of this embodiment also includes four areas arranged on the main deck 2 of the ship, and the four areas are a storage area 21, a port side working area 22, a starboard side working area 23 and a posture adjustment area 24.

[0033] A room is provided at the storage area 21, and the room is used as a weatherproof room 211 for storing the shore power cable guide wheel device 1. In this way, a better storage environment can be provided for the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to ensure that the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is not damaged by adverse factors in the atmospheric environment, so that the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can maintain a normal working state for a long time, and the service life of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is extended.

[0034] In addition, in order to ensure that the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is not shaken by wind and waves, a binding rope 3 is also provided in the wind and rainproof room 211 for binding the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to fix it on the deck. Figure 4 shown.

[0035] It should be noted that the same binding ropes are also provided at the port working area 22 and the starboard working area 23 for binding the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 .

[0036] The port side working area 22 and the starboard side working area 23 are used for "the location where the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is placed when the ship is docked and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is connected to the shore power."

[0037] in,

[0038] The port side working area 22 is arranged on the port side of the main deck 2. When the ship is docked on the port side, the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is placed in the port side working area 22.

[0039] The starboard working area 23 is arranged on the starboard side of the main deck 2 . When the ship docks on the starboard side, the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is placed in the starboard working area 23 .

[0040] Then, a device transfer passage 25 is also provided between the port side working area 22 and the starboard side working area 23 , so that the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can be transferred between the port side working area 22 and the starboard side working area 23 through the device transfer passage 25 .

[0041] In order to prevent slipping, the device transfer passage 25 is anti-skid treated to prevent the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 from slipping due to the shaking of the ship when the weather is bad at the port and the wind and waves are strong.

[0042] The posture adjustment area 24 is arranged at a certain position in the device transfer path 25. The purpose of setting the posture adjustment area 24 is:

[0043] There are requirements for the placement direction of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 in the port working area 22 and the starboard working area 23, and the direction of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 after the transfer often does not meet the requirements and needs to be turned around. However, since the device transfer passage 25 is relatively narrow, it is difficult for the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to achieve the turning and U-turn action. The area of ​​the posture adjustment area 24 is set larger, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can complete the turning and U-turn in the posture adjustment area 24, thereby meeting the use requirements of the shore power cable guide wheel device 1.

[0044] It should be noted that the device transfer passage 25 passes through the weathertight room 211 (i.e., the storage area 21), and the weathertight room 211 opens toward the device transfer passage 25, and the attitude adjustment area 24 is arranged at the opening of the weathertight room 211. In this way, the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 can turn around conveniently when entering and exiting the weathertight room 211.

[0045] The operation process of the shore power cable guide wheel arrangement system of this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] When the ship is not docked, the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is stored in the weathertight room 211, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is bound by a binding rope 3;

[0047] When the ship docks on the port side, the electric controller 12 controls the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to be transferred to the port side working area 22 via the device transfer passage 25, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is bound by the binding rope 3, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is used to connect to the shore power at the port side of the ship;

[0048] When the ship docks on the starboard side, the electric controller 12 controls the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to be transferred to the starboard working area 23 via the device transfer passage 25, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is bound by the binding rope 3, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is used to connect to the shore power at the starboard side of the ship;

[0049] When the ship leaves the shore, the electric controller 12 controls the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 to return to the weatherproof room 211 via the device transfer passage 25, and the shore power cable guide wheel device 1 is bound by the binding rope 3 so as to continue to be stored.

[0050] The above-mentioned shore power cable guide wheel device arrangement system and its use and operation process actually constitute a shore power cable guide wheel device arrangement method.
