[0052] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0053] This embodiment provides a fender storage device and a ship to solve the problems of inconvenient fender storage and large space occupation in the prior art.
[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the fender storage device includes a plurality of storage racks 1 for storing fenders 100, and the plurality of storage racks 1 are detachably connected to each other and can be stacked on the deck of a ship, and the bottom storage rack 1 is detachably connected to the deck of the ship. The fender storage device also includes a supporting assembly 2, and the supporting assembly 2 includes a supporting member 21. The supporting member 21 is rotatably arranged on the storage rack 1 so as to be able to switch between a load-bearing state and an avoidance state. When the supporting assembly 2 is in the load-bearing state, the supporting member 21 can carry the fender 100. When the supporting assembly 2 is in the avoidance state, the supporting member 21 flips to the outside of the storage rack 1 to facilitate the removal and placement of the fender 100 from the storage rack 1 below.
[0055] It can be understood that in this embodiment, a storage rack 1 is provided for storing fenders 100, and a plurality of storage racks 1 are detachably connected to each other and stacked on the ship deck, so that not only a plurality of fenders 100 can be stored, but also the space occupied on the ship deck is small, and the number of layers of the storage rack 1 can be flexibly changed according to the number of fenders 100 stored, and the position of the multi-layer storage rack 1 can be changed at any time, so as to flexibly plan the space on board, ensure the stable storage and flexible arrangement of the fenders 100, and improve the space utilization rate of the ship; and a supporting assembly 2 is rotatably provided on the storage rack 1, when the supporting assembly When the support assembly 2 is in the carrying state, the support member 21 can carry the fender 100. When the support assembly 2 is in the avoiding state, the support member 21 can be turned over to the outside of the storage rack 1 to avoid the fender 100, thereby enabling the fender 100 to be flexibly stored and taken out. When taking out the fender 100 of the storage rack 1 located below, it is only necessary to switch the support assemblies 2 of the storage rack 1 above the storage rack 1 to the avoiding state, and then the fender 100 can be taken out upward without disassembling the storage rack 1, which greatly improves the access convenience and flexibility of the fender 100, thereby improving the user experience of the fender storage device.
[0056] Optionally, the storage rack 1 is a frame structure formed by a plurality of horizontal bars and a plurality of vertical bars, and the supporting assembly 2 further includes a rotating member 22 and a supporting member 23. Both the rotating member 22 and the supporting member 23 are connected to the supporting member 21. The rotating member 22 is rotatably mounted on the vertical bar. When the supporting assembly 2 is in a load-bearing state, the supporting member 23 abuts against the horizontal bars to support the supporting member 21. When the supporting assembly 2 is in an avoidance state, the supporting member 21 and the supporting member 23 are both flipped to the outside of the storage rack 1. This arrangement can determine whether the supporting member 23 abuts against the horizontal bars by rotating the supporting member 21 of the supporting assembly 2, thereby switching the supporting assembly 2 between the load-bearing state and the avoidance state. It has a simple structure and a reliable principle, thereby improving the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0057] Optionally, the rotating member 22, the supporting member 23, and the supporting member 21 are all rod-shaped, and the rotating member 22 is connected to multiple supporting members 23 and multiple supporting members 21, with the supporting members 23 and the supporting members 21 being connected one-to-one. This arrangement not only reduces the weight of the supporting assembly 2 but also ensures the bearing strength of the supporting assembly 2, thereby improving the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0058] For example, the storage rack 1 is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped, with the ends of the rotating member 22 rotatably mounted on two vertical bars on one side of the storage rack 1 along its width, and the supporting member 23 capable of supporting itself on a horizontal bar on one side of the storage rack 1 along its width. This arrangement allows the storage rack to adapt to the shape of the fender, reducing material waste and improving space utilization on the vessel.
[0059] like Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the fender storage device optionally further includes a reinforcement mechanism 3, which is connected to the rotating member 22 and has a fixing rope 31 with an adjustable extension length. The fixing rope 31 can fix the fender 100 to the supporting assembly 2. This arrangement can fix and accommodate fenders 100 of different sizes through the fixing rope 31 with an adjustable length, thereby expanding the applicability of the fender storage device and improving user convenience.
[0060] Optionally, the reinforcement mechanism 3 includes an adjusting component 32 and a connecting component 33 connected to each other, the connecting component 33 is connected to the rotating member 22, the adjusting component 32 includes two adjusting members 321, a nut 322 and a threaded fastener 323, the threaded fastener 323 includes a connected threaded rod 3232 and an operating part 3231, and the two adjusting members 321 are respectively provided with through holes, one adjusting member 321 is connected to a nut 322, the threaded rod 3232 can pass through the two through holes and cooperate with the nut 322, the operating part 3231 can abut against the other adjusting member 321, and the rotation of the threaded fastener 323 can make the two adjusting members 321 approach or move away from each other to clamp or release the fixing rope 31.
[0061] It can be understood that by twisting the operating part 3231, the threaded rod part 3232 can be rotated and displaced, thereby causing one adjusting part 321 to gradually approach or move away from the other adjusting part 321 to clamp or release the fixing rope 31. When facing bumpers 100 of different sizes, the fixing rope 31 is surrounded by the bumper 100 and the fixing rope 31 is pulled until the fixing rope 31 is tightened to the bumper 100. Then, the operating part 3231 is twisted to make the two adjusting parts 321 clamp the fixing rope 31, so that the reinforcement mechanism 3 can achieve adaptive fixation of bumpers 100 of different sizes.
[0062] For example, the diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the fixing rope 31 and smaller than twice the diameter of the fixing rope 31. This arrangement can improve the connection strength between the threaded fastener 323 and the through hole, thereby improving the reliability of the reinforcement mechanism 3, and can prevent the opening from being too large, which would reduce the structural strength of the adjustment member 321.
[0063] Optionally, at least one groove 3211 is formed on each of the two adjusting members 321. The grooves 3211 on the two adjusting members 321 are aligned and face each other, and can be engaged to form a clamping cavity for clamping the fixing rope 31. This arrangement can improve the clamping strength and shape adaptability of the adjusting members 321 to the fixing rope 31, thereby improving the reliability of the reinforcement mechanism 3.
[0064] Optionally, the two adjusting members 321 are each provided with a corresponding second groove 3212, allowing the securing rope 31 to be simultaneously clamped by the two first grooves 3211 and the two second grooves 3212. This arrangement further enhances the clamping strength of the securing rope 31. Furthermore, when the securing rope 31 needs to be clamped, the securing rope 31 can be first passed through the first groove 3211 on one adjusting member 321 and then through the second groove 3212 on that adjusting member 321. The operating portion 3231 is then rotated to move the other adjusting member 321, ultimately allowing the first groove 3211 and the second groove 3212 to simultaneously clamp the securing rope 31. If either the first groove 3211 or the second groove 3212 fails, the second groove 3212 or the first groove 3211 can provide secondary protection, preventing the securing rope 31 from detaching from the reinforcement assembly all at once, thereby enhancing the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0065] For example, two grooves 3211 are correspondingly provided on each of the two adjusting members 321. The openings of the two grooves 3211 face each other and can be fastened together to form two clamping cavities. This arrangement further enhances the clamping strength of the fixing rope 31. In addition, when the fixing rope 31 needs to be clamped, the fixing rope 31 can be first passed through the groove 3211 on one adjusting member 321 and then through the other groove 3211 of the adjusting member 321. The operating portion 3231 is then rotated to move the other adjusting member 321. Ultimately, the fixing rope 31 is clamped simultaneously by the two clamping cavities. If one clamping cavity fails, the other clamping cavity can serve as a secondary protection, preventing the fixing rope 31 from detaching from the reinforcement assembly at once, thereby improving the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0066] For example, the diameters of the two clamping cavities are both smaller than the diameter of the fixing rope 31. This arrangement can enhance the clamping strength of the fixing rope 31 and prevent the fixing rope 31 from slipping.
[0067] Illustratively, the connecting assembly 33 includes a fixing ring 331, a transition piece 332, and a connecting piece 333. The fixing rope 31 can pass through one clamping cavity, then through the fixing ring 331, and then be positioned in the other clamping cavity. The transition piece 332 is connected between the fixing ring 331 and the connecting piece 333, and the connecting piece 333 is connected to the rotating member 22. This arrangement, by matching the fixing rope 31 with the fixing ring 331 and providing the transition piece 332 and the connecting piece 333, facilitates the connection between the adjusting member 321 and the supporting assembly 2, thereby improving the structural rationality of the fender storage device.
[0068] Optionally, the storage rack 1 is rotatably provided with two sets of supporting assemblies 2, which are symmetrically arranged, and the two supporting members 21 can jointly support the fender 100. This arrangement can improve the bearing stability of the fender 100, thereby improving the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0069] Optionally, the reinforcement mechanism 3 includes two adjustment assemblies 32 and two connecting assemblies 33. The two adjustment assemblies 32 are connected to both ends of the fixing rope 31, and the two connecting assemblies 33 are connected one-to-one to the rotating members 22 of the two sets of support assemblies 2. This arrangement allows the fixing rope 31 to be fixed from both sides. The fixing rope 31 can be wrapped around the upper side of the fender 100. The adjustment assemblies 32 on both sides can adjust the length of the fixing rope 31, thereby improving the positioning stability of the fender 100 and further enhancing the reliability of the fender storage device.
[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, the fender storage device may further include a length-adjustable stabilizing assembly 4, one end of which is connected to a storage rack 1 and the other end is connected to the ship deck. This arrangement can improve the stability of the fender storage device and prevent multiple storage racks 1 from tipping over when stacked.
[0071] Optionally, the stabilizing assembly 4 includes a tightening rope 41, a first threaded rod 42, a second threaded rod 43, an adjusting member 45, and a fixing member 44. One end of the tightening rope 41 is connected to the storage rack 1, and the other end is connected to the first threaded rod 42. One end of the fixing member 44 is connected to the second threaded rod 43, and the other end is used to connect to the ship's deck. Threaded holes are respectively provided at both ends of the adjusting member 45. The two threaded holes correspond one-to-one with the first threaded rod 42 and the second threaded rod 43. Rotating the adjusting member 45 can move the first threaded rod 42 and the second threaded rod 43 closer to or farther away from each other. This arrangement allows the connection strength between the storage rack 1 and the ship's deck to be adjusted by rotating the adjusting member 45, and the storage rack 1 can be quickly disassembled by disengaging the first threaded rod 42 from the adjusting member 45, thereby improving the flexibility of the stabilizing assembly 4.
[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, the fender storage device optionally further includes a fixing assembly 5, the underside of which is used to connect to the ship's deck. A positioning member 53 is provided on the upper side of the fixing assembly 5. The positioning member 53 is bolted to the underside of the bottom storage rack 1. This arrangement, through the positioning member 53, achieves a detachable connection between the bottom storage rack 1 and the ship's deck, allowing the multi-layer storage rack 1 to be flexibly installed, thereby improving the structural rationality of the fender storage device.
[0073] Optionally, the fixing assembly 5 includes a fixing plate 51 and a support plate 52. The fixing plate 51 is used to connect to the ship's deck. The support plate 52 is located above the fixing plate 51 and is connected to the fixing plate 51 by bolts. The support plate 52 is provided with a positioning member 53 and a connecting hole plate 54. The positioning member 53 can be connected to the lower end of the vertical rod of the storage rack 1 by bolts. The connecting hole plate 54 has a connecting hole that can be matched with the fixing member 44 of the stabilizing assembly 4. This arrangement fixes the bottom storage rack 1 through the positioning member 53, thereby improving the stability of the storage rack 1. It also connects the stabilizing assembly 4 through the connecting hole plate 54, providing a mounting position for the stabilizing assembly 4 and improving the structural rationality of the fender storage device.
[0074] Exemplarily, there are four fixing assemblies 5, which are matched one-to-one with the lower ends of the four vertical rods of the storage rack 1. This arrangement further improves the stability of the storage rack 1 and prevents the storage rack 1 from tipping over.
[0075] like Figure 9 As shown, for example, each vertical rod of the storage rack 1 is connected to a tightening rope 41 at its upper end, and the corresponding connecting hole plate 54 at the lower end of each vertical rod of the storage rack 1 is connected to a corresponding fixing member 44. The two stabilizing components 4 on each outer side of the storage rack 1 are arranged in a cross pattern. This arrangement can reduce the space occupied by the stabilizing components 4 and improve the positioning stability of the stabilizing components 4 on the storage rack 1, effectively preventing the storage rack 1 from tipping over.
[0076] For example, the thickness of the fixing plate 51 and the support plate 52 is 60 mm to 100 mm. This configuration can enhance the mechanical strength of the fixing assembly 5 and, in turn, improve the reliability of the fender storage device. Of course, the thickness of the fixing plate 51 and the support plate 52 can be adjusted as needed based on actual conditions and is not particularly limited herein.
[0077] like Figure 10 As shown, optionally, a slot 12 is provided on the upper side of the vertical rod of the storage rack 1, and a clamping head 46 is provided on the upper end of the tightening rope 41. The clamping head 46 can be clamped into the slot 12, and the cross section of the clamping head 46 is T-shaped. This arrangement can make the clamping head 46 more firmly clamped into the slot 12. The upper and lower sides of the slot 12 can form a double barrier for the two feet of the clamping head 46, making it difficult for the clamping head 46 to slip out of the slot 12, thereby improving the reliability of the stabilizing assembly 4.
[0078] Optionally, the storage rack 1 is provided with an automatic locking lock on the upper side and a locking head on the lower side, and the automatic locking locks on adjacent storage racks 1 correspond to the locking heads. This arrangement can automatically lock adjacent storage racks 1 when stacking storage racks 1, improving the stability and installation convenience of multi-layer storage racks 1.
[0079] It should be noted that the structure of the automatic fixing lock and the locking head can adopt mature automatic locking products on the market, and no excessive restrictions are imposed here.
[0080] like Figure 11-12 As shown, the fender storage device optionally further includes an operating platform 6. A first fixing ear is provided on the storage rack 1, and a second fixing ear 62 is provided on the operating platform 6. The first fixing ear and the second fixing ear 62 are connected by bolts. When the fender 100 needs to be retrieved or stored, the operating platform 6 can be installed on a storage rack 1. The operator climbs onto the operating platform 6 to release or tighten the reinforcement mechanism 3 and simultaneously switches the support assembly 2 to the avoidance state or the load-bearing state. This configuration improves the operator's operational convenience.
[0081] Exemplarily, the operating platform 6 is provided with guardrails 61 on all sides except the side connected to the storage rack 1. This arrangement can improve the safety of the operating platform 6 and prevent people from falling.
[0082] like Figure 13-14 As shown, the fender storage device optionally further includes a ladder assembly 7, which includes a hook 71 and a plurality of ladder members 72. The hook 71 can be connected to one end of the ladder member 72, and the plurality of ladder members 72 are detachably connected. This arrangement allows an operator to access the storage rack 1 for operation by hanging the hook 71 on the storage rack 1 or the operating platform 6. The detachable connection of the plurality of ladder members 72 allows the length of the ladder assembly 7 to be changed as needed to facilitate access to storage racks 1 at different heights.
[0083] Optionally, the ladder assembly 7 includes a hanging member 73. Each ladder member 72 is provided with a hanging hole 721. The hanging member 73 has two hanging holes, which can correspond one-to-one with the hanging holes 721 on two adjacent ladder members 72 and engage with bolts to connect the two adjacent ladder members 72. This arrangement allows the overall length of the ladder assembly 7 to be changed by removing and installing the hanging member 73, thereby improving the convenience of installing and removing the ladder assembly 7.
[0084] The present embodiment provides a ship including a ship deck, wherein the bottom storage rack 1 is detachably connected to the ship deck, thereby reducing the space occupied by the fender 100 on the ship and improving the access convenience and flexibility of the fender 100 .
[0085] like Figure 15-16 As shown, the working process of the fender storage device of this embodiment is as follows:
[0086] When it is necessary to remove the fender 100, the hook 71 of the ladder assembly 7 is hung on the operating platform 6. After the operator climbs onto the operating platform 6, the reinforcement mechanism 3 is opened, and the lifting end of the crane is moved to the vicinity of the fender 100 by using a crowbar, and the lifting rope of the fender 100 is connected to the lifting end. After the fender 100 is lifted away, the operator uses the crowbar to flip the supporting assembly 2 outward to switch it to an avoidance state to avoid interfering with the lifting of the fender 100 in the storage rack 1 on the next layer. This process is repeated for taking out the fender 100 on the next layer.
[0087] When the fender 100 needs to be stored, the hook 71 of the ladder assembly 7 is hung on the operating platform 6. The operator climbs onto the operating platform 6 and moves the fender 100 to the top of the storage rack 1. The supporting assembly 2 is flipped to the load-bearing state using a crowbar. After lowering the fender 100, the reinforcing mechanism 3 is connected to the rotating part 22 and the fixing rope 31 is tightened. This process is repeated for storing the fender 100 on the upper storage rack 1.
