[0010] The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the buffer spring, and a plurality of mounting holes are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting plate.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the hinge plate is provided with a hinge hole along the axial direction, the inner wall of the hinge hole is rotatably connected with a hinge shaft, and the upper and lower ends of the hinge shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the hinge seat.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of rotating pads are equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft along the height direction, the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating pads, the rotating pads are elastic, and the cross section of the rotating pads is arc-shaped.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the side end of the connecting seat is fixedly connected to a limiting plate with a rectangular cross-section, the side end of the limiting plate is provided with a limiting seat, the limiting seat has a limiting groove longitudinally opened, the side end of the limiting seat is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the limiting plate.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: a limiting spring is provided in the limiting groove, and two ends of the limiting spring are fixedly connected to the limiting plate and the mounting plate respectively.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: the upper and lower ends of the limit plate are respectively provided with positioning grooves along the length direction, and the upper and lower ends of the limit groove are respectively fixedly connected with positioning plates on the inner wall away from the mounting plate, the positioning plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove, and the positioning plate is butt-connected with one end of the limit plate close to the mounting plate.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: a storage groove is opened at the top of the limit seat, an oil filling hole is opened through the top of the limit seat, the oil filling hole is located at the bottom of the storage groove, the oil filling hole and the limit groove are interconnected, and an oiler is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage groove.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: a cylindrical connecting tube is fixedly connected to the side end of the mounting plate, a folding tube is provided between the connecting tube and the connecting seat, two ends of the folding tube are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting tube and the connecting seat, and the folding tube is foldable.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: the connecting tube is provided with a plurality of air holes along the direction of the axis.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] 1. When a ship breaks down and needs to make an emergency stop at the dock, the speed of the ship is relatively fast. When the ship approaches the dock, the ship first contacts the rotating shaft. When the ship and the rotating shaft are against each other, the fixed plate will rotate under the influence of the moving angle of the ship, and the fixed plate rotates with the hinge plate on the hinge seat, so that the rotating shaft on the fixed plate and the ship can be against each other. When the ship continues to approach the dock, the ship moves against the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft moves with the hinge plate through the fixed plate, and the hinge plate moves with the connecting seat through the hinge seat. The connecting seat buffers the ship by compressing the buffer spring, thereby avoiding a huge collision between the ship and the rubber tire caused by insufficient buffering of the existing rubber tire, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of denting or deformation of the ship.

[0021] 2. When the ship and the rotating shaft are in contact, the ship will continue to move forward, and the ship will rotate on the fixed plate with the rotating shaft. The rotating rotating shaft can act as a resistance to the ship, thereby slowing down the trend of the ship moving forward. A large number of fixing plates can be installed on the dock through the mounting plate, and the bolts can be fixed on the dock through the mounting holes opened in the mounting plate, thereby achieving the effect of installing and fixing the fixing plate. When the ship is separated from the rotating shaft, the ship can be resisted by the next group of rotating shafts, wherein the fixing plate can be rotated through the hinge plate and the hinge seat. When the ship and one of the rotating shafts on the fixed plate are in contact, the fixed plate can automatically rotate according to the movement of the ship, so that the rotating shafts on the fixed plate can all contact with the ship, ensuring that the impact force of the ship is dispersed by all the rotating shafts on the fixed plate, avoiding the phenomenon that the rotating shaft is damaged by the impact of the ship.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a device for assisting ship docking comprises: a fixing plate 1, a connecting seat 5 and a mounting plate 9.

[0034] The side end of the fixed plate 1 is fixedly connected with a hinge plate 11, and a plurality of rotating shafts 2 are equidistantly arranged in the length direction of the fixed plate 1. The upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 2 are respectively rotatably connected with the fixed plate 1. The side end of the connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected with a hinge seat 4. The connecting seat 5 is fixedly connected with a buffer spring 13 at one end away from the hinge seat 4. The upper and lower ends of the hinge seat 4 are respectively rotatably connected with the hinge plate 11. The mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected with the side end of the buffer spring 13. A plurality of mounting holes 10 are respectively opened at both ends of the mounting plate 9. When a ship fails and needs to make an emergency stop at the dock, the speed of the ship is relatively fast. When the ship approaches the dock, the ship first contacts the rotating shaft 2, and the ship and the rotating shaft 2 are in contact with each other. When the shaft 2 is abutted, the fixed plate 1 will rotate under the influence of the moving angle of the ship, and the fixed plate 1 rotates on the hinge seat 4 with the hinge plate 11, so that the rotating shaft 2 on the fixed plate 1 and the ship can be abutted. When the ship continues to approach the dock, the ship moves against the rotating shaft 2, and the rotating shaft 2 moves with the hinge plate 11 through the fixed plate 1, and the hinge plate 11 moves with the connecting seat 5 through the hinge seat 4. The connecting seat 5 compresses the buffer spring 13 to buffer the ship, thereby avoiding a huge collision between the ship and the rubber tire caused by insufficient buffering of the existing rubber tire, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of denting or deformation of the ship;

[0035] When the ship approaches the dock, the ship will move forward and move in the direction of the dock at the same time. When the ship and the rotating shaft 2 are in contact, the ship will continue to move forward. The ship rotates on the fixed plate 1 with the rotating shaft 2. The rotating rotating shaft 2 can act as a resistance to the ship, thereby slowing down the trend of the ship moving forward. A large number of fixing plates 1 can be installed on the dock through the mounting plate 9, and the bolts can be fixed on the dock through the mounting holes 10 opened in the mounting plate 9, thereby achieving the effect of installing and fixing the fixing plate 1. When the ship is separated from the rotating shaft 2, the ship can be resisted by the next group of rotating shafts 2, wherein the fixing plate 1 can be rotated with the hinge seat 4 through the hinge plate 11. When the ship and the rotating shaft 2 on the fixing plate 1 are in contact, the fixing plate 1 can automatically rotate according to the movement of the ship, so that the rotating shafts 2 on the fixing plate 1 can all contact with the ship, ensuring that the impact force of the ship is dispersed by all the rotating shafts 2 on the fixing plate 1, avoiding the phenomenon that the rotating shaft 2 is damaged by the impact of the ship.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the hinge plate 11 is provided with a hinge hole 18 along the axial direction, and the inner wall of the hinge hole 18 is rotatably connected to the hinge shaft 12. The upper and lower ends of the hinge shaft 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the hinge seat 4. When the fixed plate 1 rotates along the hinge seat 4 with the hinge plate 11, the hinge hole 18 opened in the hinge plate 11 rotates along the hinge shaft 12. The impact force of the ship can be transmitted to the hinge seat 4 through the inner wall of the hinge hole 18 and the hinge shaft 12, and then transmitted to the buffer spring 13 through the connecting seat 5.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of rotating pads 3 are equidistantly provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 along the height direction, the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating pad 3, the rotating pad 3 is elastic, and the cross-section of the rotating pad 3 is arc-shaped. In order to increase the friction between the rotating shaft 2 and the ship and prevent the rotating shaft 2 from stopping rotating when the ship moves along the surface of the rotating shaft 2, the rotating pad 3 fixed on the surface of the rotating shaft 2 is plastic. When the ship is to abut against the rotating shaft 2, the ship and the rotating pad 3 abut against each other, and the rotating pad 3 is deformed by the abutment of the ship. When the ship moves, the rotating pad 3 can rotate along the surface of the ship, so that the rotating pad 3 rotates with the rotating shaft 2. The rotating pad 3 can also protect the ship to prevent the ship and the rotating shaft 2 from directly contacting each other and causing wear on the surface of the ship.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, a limiting plate 14 with a rectangular cross-section is fixedly connected to the side end of the connecting seat 5, a limiting seat 15 is provided at the side end of the limiting plate 14, a limiting groove 16 is longitudinally provided on the limiting seat 15, the side end of the limiting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 16 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 14. In order to avoid the phenomenon that the buffer spring 13 is bent due to the displacement of the connecting seat 5, when the connecting seat 5 compresses the buffer spring 13, the connecting seat 5 slides along the inner wall of the limiting groove 16 with the limiting plate 14. The shape of the limiting plate 14 can provide limiting support for the connecting seat 5 by abutting against the inner wall of the limiting groove 16, thereby ensuring that the buffer spring 13 will not bend.

[0039] In some specific implementation schemes, a limit spring 17 is provided in the limit groove 16, and the two ends of the limit spring 17 are fixedly connected to the limit plate 14 and the mounting plate 9 respectively. When the limit plate 14 slides along the inner wall of the limit groove 16, the limit plate 14 will extend into the limit groove 16, and the limit plate 14 begins to compress the limit spring 17. The compression of the limit spring 17 provides elastic force for the movement of the limit plate 14, thereby playing a buffering role in the movement of the limit plate 14.

[0040] In some specific implementation schemes, positioning grooves 19 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the limiting plate 14 along the length direction, and the limiting groove 16 is fixedly connected with positioning plates 22 at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall away from the mounting plate 9, and the positioning plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 19, and the positioning plate 22 is abutted against one end of the limiting plate 14 close to the mounting plate 9. In order to prevent the ship from detaching from the rotating shaft 2, the elastic tension of the buffer spring 13 and the limiting spring 17 brings inertia to the limiting plate 14, causing the limiting plate 14 to detach from the limiting groove 16. When the limiting plate 14 detaches along the inner wall of the limiting groove 16, the positioning plate 22 slides along the inner wall of the positioning groove 19. When the positioning plate 22 abuts against the limiting plate 14, the limiting plate 14 is limited, and the connecting seat 5 is further limited to prevent the connecting seat 5 from bending with the buffer spring 13.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, a storage groove 23 is provided at the top of the limit seat 15, and an oil filling hole 21 is provided through the top of the limit seat 15. The oil filling hole 21 is located at the bottom of the storage groove 23, and the oil filling hole 21 is communicated with the limit groove 16. An oiler 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage groove 23. Since the limit plate 14 and the limit seat 15 are arranged at the dock, the sea breeze may cause corrosion to the surface of the limit plate 14 and the inner wall of the limit groove 16. When the oiler 20 is running, the oiler 20 sprays the stored lubricating oil into the limit groove 16 through the oil filling hole 21. When the limit plate 14 slides along the inner wall of the limit groove 16, the lubricating oil may adhere to the inner wall of the limit groove 16 and the surface of the limit plate 14. The lubricating oil may provide anti-corrosion protection to the inner wall of the limit groove 16 and the surface of the limit plate 14, and at the same time, avoid the large friction between the inner wall of the limit groove 16 and the limit plate 14, which may cause wear to the limit seat 15 and the limit plate 14.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, a cylindrical connecting tube 7 is fixedly connected to the side end of the mounting plate 9, a folding tube 6 is provided between the connecting tube 7 and the connecting seat 5, two ends of the folding tube 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting tube 7 and the connecting seat 5, the folding tube 6 is foldable, when the connecting seat 5 starts to compress the buffer spring 13, the connecting seat 5 simultaneously compresses the folding tube 6, the folding tube 6 is foldable, and the folding tube 6 provides a buffering effect for the connecting seat 5 by compressing the internal air. At the same time, the folding tube 6 and the connecting tube 7 can protect the buffer spring 13, the limit plate 14 and the inner wall of the limit groove 16 to prevent them from being corroded by sea water.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the connecting tube 7 is provided with a plurality of air holes 8 along the axis direction. When the folding tube 6 is compressed, the folding tube 6 is in a sealed state. In order to prevent the folding tube 6 from compressing the air inside and causing the folding tube 6 to expand and explode, when the folding tube 6 compresses the air inside, the air begins to flow out from the air holes 8, thereby preventing the folding tube 6 from compressing the air inside and causing the folding tube 6 to explode. When the ship is detached from the rotating shaft 2, the elastic tension of the buffer spring 13 holds the connecting seat 5 to reset, and the limit spring 17 resets by abutting against the limit plate 14. At this time, the folding tube 6 begins to open, and air begins to be sucked in through the air holes 8 when the folding tube 6 opens. Therefore, the folding tube 6 opens relatively slowly, thereby buffering the elastic tension of the buffer spring 13 and the limit spring 17, thereby preventing the buffer spring 13 and the limit spring 17 from directly acting on the connecting seat 5, causing the limit plate 14 and the positioning plate 22 to collide.

[0044] Several embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
