Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ship facilities, and in particular relates to a hatch cover shutter structure for ships. Background Art

[0002] Ships are a common means of transport that can sail or carry out transportation or operations in water. Due to the limitations of the aquatic environment, the cabins of ships are usually required to have windows that can be opened for ventilation, while also ensuring excellent sealing when necessary. There are many structures in the industry that have shutters equipped with window covers. Although these structures can meet the functions of ventilation and sealing, they often require manual flipping of the window covers and manual locking or unlocking of the window covers, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and very inconvenient.

[0003] In the existing technology, such as the "A Hatch Cover Device for Ships" disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent Authorization Announcement No. CN103832544B, the hatch cover device for ships includes: a hatch cover, which is a rectangular plate; a hatch frame, which is a rectangular frame to support the hatch cover; a hatch hinge, which is located on the upper side of the hatch cover and the hatch frame and can rotate the hatch cover relative to the hatch frame; an opening protrusion, which protrudes laterally from the left side or right side of the hatch cover and rotates forward in conjunction with the opening action of the hatch cover; and a side guide bar, which is a plate extended in the upward and downward directions, the lower end of the side guide bar can be rotatably coupled to the hatch frame, and a long hole-shaped guide hole is formed along the side guide bar, the upper part of the guide hole is further extended rearward to form a support step, and the guide hole is combined with the opening protrusion to guide the opening and closing action of the hatch cover and fix the open state of the hatch cover. Although this technical solution can open automatically and can automatically lock and unlock, its automatic opening angle depends on the torsion of the torsion spring.

[0029] Continue reading Figures 1 to 5 ,in Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the aforementioned window cover 2 and window frame 1 in the closed state. During the closing process, the lock head 421 is pushed by the guide surface 131, compressing the return spring 422 until the lock head 421 is inserted into the lock hole 132. At this time, the support plate hinge axis 12 is located in the closing positioning groove 321, and the support plate 3 is vertically upward. If the support plate 3 accidentally tilts forward, the connection between the closing positioning groove 321 and the opening guide groove 322 will abut against the window cover sliding shaft 22 to maintain the position. When the window cover 2 needs to be opened, the operator pushes the locking rod bent foot 411 upwards, so that the locking rod 41 pulls the lock head 421 out of cooperation with the lock hole 132 after overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 422. At this time, the window cover 2 is rotated open around the hinge shaft 7 under the action of the torsion spring 6. Under normal circumstances, the torsion force of the torsion spring 6 can make the window cover 2 open 30 degrees and reach the pre-opening state. The support plate 3 is pushed forward by the window cover sliding shaft 22 to rotate around the support plate hinge shaft 12. The window cover sliding shaft 22 slides along the opening guide groove 322 until it slides into the pre-opening positioning groove 323. At this time, if the window cover 2 wants to continue to open, it is necessary to overcome the gravity of the support plate 3 itself and make the window cover sliding shaft 22 slide along the opening guide groove 324. The torsion force of the torsion spring 6 is not enough to overcome the gravity of the support plate 3. The window cover 2 is locked and unlocked when the lock is unlocked, and the lock is unlocked when the lock is unlocked. The lock is unlocked when the lock is unlocked. When the torsion spring 6 is used for too long and the torque is reduced or the torque of the torsion spring 6 is too large, the torsion spring adjustment portion 61 is adjusted to cooperate with the adjustment slots 51 at different positions on the adjustment disk 5, so that the torsion stability of the torsion spring 6 can be maintained for a long time, thereby greatly extending the service life of the shutter structure.

[0030] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In summary, the technical solution provided by the present invention makes up for the shortcomings of the existing technology, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the technical effect column above.
