Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine terminal equipment technology, and in particular to a fender device. Background Technology
[0002] When ships are affected by typhoons, their outer plates may collide with the dock, causing damage to both the ships and the dock. To solve this problem, multi-drum anti-typhoon high fenders are installed at the most unfavorable positions where ships are moored at the dock.
[0003] Fenders are important devices for buffering collisions between ships and docks, and between ships themselves. Their main function is to absorb collision energy, protect the safety of ships, docks, cargo, and personnel on board, and prevent damage caused by collisions, crushing, and friction.
[0004] With the development of shipbuilding technology, large ships are gradually increasing. However, because large ships are tall, and existing fenders are generally installed on the side walls of the dock, the fenders are close to the sea surface, making it difficult to right and stabilize large ships in severe weather such as strong winds.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fender device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fender device that can withstand stronger impacts and more stably right and stabilize the hull, reducing the swaying of the hull when approaching the shore.

[0009] The support frame includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is installed on the shoreline edge of the wharf in the first horizontal direction. The second support member is located on the side of the first support member facing away from the seawater. One end of the second support member is fixed to the top of the first support member, and the other end of the second support member is inclined downward and fixed to the upper surface of the wharf.
[0010] The fender assembly includes a buffer and a panel. In the first horizontal direction, the panel, the buffer, and the first support are arranged sequentially, and the panel is fixed to the first support through the buffer. The buffer is capable of elastic deformation.

One end of the third support member is fixed to the first support member, and the other end of the third support member is fixed to the second support member.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes a fifth support member, which is parallel to the third support member and the two are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. One end of the fifth support member is fixed to the first support member, and the other end is fixed to the second support member.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes a fourth support member, one end of which is fixed to the first support member, and the other end of which is inclined upward and fixed to the second support member.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, two second support members are provided, and the two second support members are arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction, respectively supporting the first support member on both sides; the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the aforementioned fender device, the aforementioned support frame further includes a sixth support member, which connects the two aforementioned second support members along the aforementioned second horizontal direction.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes a seventh support member, which is parallel to the second support member in the second horizontal direction. One end of the seventh support member is fixed to one end of the sixth support member, and the other end is fixed to the first support member.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes an eighth support member, one end of which is fixed to the end of the second support member away from the first support member, and the other end is inclined toward the side where the seventh support member is located and fixed to the first support member.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes a ninth support member, one end of which is fixed to the eighth support member, and the other end is inclined toward the side where the seventh support member is located and fixed to the sixth support member.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned fender device, the support frame further includes a tenth support member. Two eighth support members are provided and are symmetrically arranged in the second horizontal direction. The tenth support member is parallel to the sixth support member and is fixed to the two eighth support members.
[0020] Beneficial effects of this invention:
[0021] This invention provides a fender device installed on a wharf, with seawater located on one side of the wharf in a first horizontal direction. The device includes a support frame and a fender assembly. The support frame includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is installed along the shoreline of the wharf in the first horizontal direction. The second support member is located on the side of the first support member facing away from the seawater. One end of the second support member is fixed to the top of the first support member, and the other end of the second support member is inclined downwards and fixed to the upper surface of the wharf. The fender assembly includes a buffer member and a panel. In the first horizontal direction, the panel, buffer member, and first support member are arranged sequentially, and the panel is fixed to the first support member through the buffer member, which is capable of elastic deformation.
[0022] The upper surface of the pier is above the sea level. A support frame is installed on the upper surface of the pier. The support frame includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is perpendicular to the upper surface of the pier. The second support member supports the first support member on the side of the first support member facing away from the sea. One end of the second support member is fixed to the top of the first support member, and the other end is fixed to the upper surface of the pier. Thus, in the projection in the second horizontal direction, the first support member, the second support member, and the upper surface of the pier form a stable right-angled triangle structure. This allows the first support member to withstand a relatively large force applied to it in the first horizontal direction, and the second support member can transmit this force to the pier. A fender assembly is installed on the first support member. The panel is used to contact the hull to right and stabilize the hull. The panel is located on the side of the first support member facing the sea. The panel is installed on the first support member through a buffer member. The buffer member can undergo elastic deformation in the first horizontal direction, absorbing part of the force applied to the panel by the hull in the first horizontal direction, and preventing excessively violent collisions between the hull and the panel. The support frame can provide relatively large support for the fender components, so that it can still provide relatively stable support for the hull in the face of typhoon weather. Furthermore, since the panel is high above the sea level, it can abut against the relatively high position of the hull. Due to the increase in lever arm, the force used to right the hull can be reduced, which can reduce the swaying of the hull when it approaches the shore.
[0023] The first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a fender device 100, installed on a pier 200, with seawater located on one side of the pier 200 in the first horizontal direction X. The device includes a support frame and a fender assembly 2. The support frame includes a first support member 11 and a second support member 12. The first support member 11 is installed along the shoreline of the pier 200 in the first horizontal direction X. The second support member 12 is located on the side of the first support member 11 facing away from the seawater. One end of the second support member 12 is fixed to the top of the first support member 11, and the other end of the second support member 12 is inclined downwards and fixed to the upper surface of the pier 200. The fender assembly 2 includes a buffer member 21 and a panel 22. In the first horizontal direction X, the panel 22, the buffer member 21, and the first support member 11 are arranged sequentially, and the panel 22 is fixed to the first support member 11 through the buffer member 21. The buffer member 21 is capable of elastic deformation.
[0037] For example, the upper surface of the pier 200 is above the sea level. A support frame is installed on the upper surface of the pier 200. The support frame includes a first support member 11 and a second support member 12. The first support member 11 is perpendicular to the upper surface of the pier 200. The second support member 12 supports the first support member 11 on the side of the first support member 11 facing away from the sea. One end of the second support member 12 is fixed to the top of the first support member 11, and the other end is fixed to the upper surface of the pier 200. Thus, when projected in the second horizontal direction Y, the first support member 11, the second support member 12, and the upper surface of the pier 200 form a stable right-angled triangle structure, enabling the first support member 11 to withstand a relatively large force applied to it along the first horizontal direction X, and the second support member 12 to transmit this force to the pier 200. The fender assembly 2 is installed on the first support member 11. The panel 22 is used to contact the hull to right and stabilize the hull. The panel 22 is located on the side of the first support member 11 facing the seawater. The panel 22 is installed on the first support member 11 through a buffer member 21. The buffer member 21 can undergo elastic deformation along the first horizontal direction X, which can absorb part of the force exerted on the panel 22 by the hull along the first horizontal direction X, thus avoiding excessively violent collisions between the hull and the panel 22. The support frame can also provide relatively large support force for the fender assembly 2, so that it can still provide relatively stable support to the hull in typhoon weather. Furthermore, since the panel 22 is relatively high above the sea level, it can abut against the hull at a relatively high position. Due to the increase in lever arm, the force used to right the hull can be reduced, which can reduce the swaying of the hull when approaching the shore.
[0038] The first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y.
[0039] Optionally, the support frame may also include a third support member 13, which is parallel to the first horizontal direction X. One end of the third support member 13 is fixed to the first support member 11, and the other end of the third support member 13 is fixed to the second support member 12.
[0040] Thus, the third support member 13 increases the fixing points between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, making the assembly relationship between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 more secure.
[0041] Optionally, the support frame further includes a fifth support member 15, which is parallel to the third support member 13 and spaced apart vertically in the Z direction. One end of the fifth support member 15 is fixed to the first support member 11, and the other end is fixed to the second support member 12. In this way, the fifth support member 15 increases the fixing points between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, making the assembly relationship between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12 more secure.
[0042] Optionally, the support frame also includes a fourth support member 14. One end of the fourth support member 14 is fixed to the first support member 11, and the other end of the fourth support member 14 is inclined upward and fixed to the second support member 12. With this configuration, projected in the second horizontal direction Y, the first support member 11, the second support member 12, and the fourth support member 14 form a new triangular stable structure. Firstly, the fourth support member 14 increases the fixing points between the first support member 11 and the second support member 12, making the assembly relationship between them more robust. Secondly, the formed triangular stable structure enhances the impact resistance of the first support member 11, resulting in a more stable structure.
[0043] Optionally, two second support members 12 are provided, arranged sequentially along the second horizontal direction Y, respectively supporting the first support member 11 on both sides; the first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y. This arrangement makes the force on both sides of the first support member 11 more even, making the first support member 11 more stable.
[0044] Optionally, the support frame also includes a sixth support member 16, which connects two second support members 12 along the second horizontal direction Y. This arrangement increases the number of fixing points for the two second support members 12, thereby enhancing the structural stability and reducing the likelihood of deformation.
[0045] Optionally, the support frame also includes a seventh support member 17, which is parallel to the second support member 12 in the second horizontal direction Y. One end of the seventh support member 17 is fixed to one end of the sixth support member 16, and the other end is fixed to the first support member 11. In this configuration, the seventh support member 17 connects the sixth support member 16 and the first support member 11, making the connection of the structure more stable and providing support for the middle part of the first support member 11, thereby improving its structural strength.
[0046] Optionally, the support frame also includes an eighth support member 18. One end of the eighth support member 18 is fixed to the end of the second support member 12 away from the first support member 11, and the other end is inclined towards the side where the seventh support member 17 is located and fixed to the first support member 11. With this configuration, the first support member 11, the second support member 12, and the eighth support member 18 form a triangular stable structure when projected in the vertical direction Z, further improving the stability of the structure. This enhances the impact resistance of the fender assembly 2.
[0047] Optionally, the support frame also includes a ninth support member 19, one end of which is fixed to the eighth support member 18, and the other end is inclined toward the side where the seventh support member 17 is located and fixed to the sixth support member 16. With this configuration, the ninth support member 19 provides support for the eighth support member 18, thereby improving structural strength.
[0048] Optionally, the support frame also includes a tenth support member 110, and two eighth support members 18 are provided, symmetrically arranged in the second horizontal direction Y. The tenth support member 110 is parallel to the sixth support member 16 and fixed to the two eighth support members 18. This arrangement makes the structure more stable.
[0049] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
