Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automobile transport ship technology, and more particularly to a fixing device and a method for fixing cargo on a vehicle transport ship. Background Technology

[0002] Cargo securing systems on vehicle carriers are core technological devices that ensure the safety of vehicles loaded in the hold during navigation. Their primary purpose is to counteract the rolling, pitching, and heaving movements of the ship caused by wind and waves through specific securing structures and restraints, preventing the transported vehicles from shifting, colliding, or tipping over. This ensures the complete and safe transport of everything from ordinary fuel-powered vehicles to various specialized vehicles, making it an indispensable safety guarantee in the long-distance and cross-regional vehicle transportation industry chain.

[0003] In related technologies, vehicle transport ships typically rely on traditional lashing methods to secure cargo, primarily using lashing straps, lashing grooves, and wave-shaped lashing rods. This involves manual operation to secure each vehicle's tires and body individually. This method has significant drawbacks: the manual operation is cumbersome, and securing a single vehicle is time-consuming, severely limiting the ship's loading efficiency; the anti-slip effect between the lashing straps and tires is limited, and there is a risk of loosening during severe ship movement; especially when transporting electric vehicles, traditional lashing may cause compression or damage to sensitive components such as battery packs and high-voltage lines, failing to meet the high safety standards required for transporting new energy vehicles.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fixing device and a method for securing cargo on vehicle transport ships to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The pad and support assembly are used for fixed connection with the transport ship. The support assembly is rotatably connected to the pad and has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the support assembly is in the folded state, the support assembly fits against the pad. When the support assembly is in the unfolded state, the support assembly is connected to the pad at an angle. The angle between the support assembly and the pad is adjustable so that the support assembly can abut against the tires of the vehicle to be transported.

[0009] The drive component is used to drive the support component to fold or unfold.

[0010] The positioning module is used to detect the relative position of the vehicle to be transported and the fixed device.

[0019] Preferably, the driving component includes a first driving member, which is used to drive the first slider to slide in the first slide rail;

[0020] And / or, the drive assembly includes a second drive member for driving the second slider to slide in the second slide rail.

[0021] Preferably, the fixing device further includes two locking components, one locking component disposed on the first slider and the other locking component disposed on the second slider. The locking component includes a pin, an elastic element and an operating element. The first and second slide rails are each provided with a plurality of grooves spaced apart along their own length direction. One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the pin and the other end is fixedly connected to the first or second slider. The operating element can drive the elastic element to extend or retract, so that the pin can be inserted into one of the plurality of grooves of the corresponding first or second slide rail, or disengaged from the groove.

[0036] A fixing device and a method for securing cargo on a vehicle transport vessel are provided. The fixing device includes a pad, a support assembly, a drive assembly, a positioning module, a pressure detection component, and an alarm module. The pad is fixedly connected to the transport vessel. The support assembly is rotatably connected to the pad and has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the support assembly is folded, it fits snugly against the pad. When unfolded, it is angled to the pad, and the angle between the support assembly and the pad is adjustable to ensure that the support assembly can abut against the tires of the vehicle to be transported. The drive assembly drives the support assembly to fold or unfold. The support assembly can flexibly switch between folded and unfolded states via the drive assembly. When unfolded, the angle between the support assembly and the pad can be adjusted as needed, ensuring a tight fit and abutment against the tires of the vehicle to be transported, forming a robust support and fixing structure. This structure restricts the vehicle's displacement space from the tires, ensuring the vehicle remains stable throughout the transport process and preventing slippage or collisions caused by hull movement. Furthermore, the adjustable angle of the support assembly, compared to traditional fixing methods, allows it to adapt to the support requirements of different vehicle tire models, improving the versatility of the fixing device.

[0037] The positioning module is used to detect the relative position of the vehicle to be transported and the fixed device. The positioning module can detect the relative position of the vehicle to be transported and the fixed device in real time, without the need for repeated manual adjustment and calibration, which helps the vehicle to quickly stop at the preset fixed position, greatly shortens the vehicle loading and positioning time, and improves cargo loading efficiency.

[0038] A pressure detection element is fixedly connected to the support assembly and is used to detect the pressure exerted by the tires of the vehicle being transported on the support assembly. An alarm module selectively issues alarm signals. The pressure detection element and alarm module together constitute an anti-skid warning system. The pressure detection element monitors changes in tire pressure on the support assembly in real time. When the vehicle slips, causing abnormal pressure fluctuations or falling below a safe threshold, the alarm module immediately issues an alarm signal, achieving dynamic monitoring of the vehicle's stationary state. Staff can receive timely warnings and take appropriate measures to quickly address the risk of vehicle movement and ensure safety during transportation. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. 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.

[0049] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0050] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0051] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. 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. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0052] On the one hand, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fixing device 1 for locking or unlocking the relative position of a vehicle 100 to be transported and a transport ship. The fixing device 1 includes a pad 11, a support assembly, a drive assembly, a positioning module, a pressure detection element, and an alarm module. The pad 11 is fixedly connected to the transport ship. The support assembly is rotatably connected to the pad 11 and has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the support assembly is in the folded state, it is in contact with the pad 11. When the support assembly is in the unfolded state, it is angularly connected to the pad 11, and the angle between the support assembly and the pad 11 is adjustable so that the support assembly can abut against the tires 110 of the vehicle 100 to be transported. The drive assembly is used to drive the support assembly to fold or unfold. The positioning module is used to detect the relative position of the vehicle 100 to be transported and the fixing device 1. The pressure detection element is fixedly connected to the support assembly and is used to detect the pressure of the tires 110 of the vehicle 100 on the support assembly. The alarm module is used to selectively issue an alarm signal. Specifically, the pad 11 is a steel plate and is fixedly connected to the deck 200 of the transport ship.

[0053] With this configuration, the support component can flexibly switch between folded and unfolded states via the drive component. When unfolded, the angle between it and the pad 11 can be adjusted as needed, allowing it to fit snugly against the tires 110 of the receiving transport vehicle 100, forming a robust support and fixing structure. This structure can restrict the vehicle's displacement space from the tires 110, ensuring the vehicle remains stable throughout the transportation process and preventing slippage or collisions caused by hull swaying. Simultaneously, the adjustable angle of the support component, compared to traditional fixing methods, allows it to adapt to the support requirements of tires 110 of different vehicle models, improving the versatility of the fixing device 1.

[0054] The positioning module can detect the relative position of the vehicle to be transported 100 and the fixed device 1 in real time, without the need for repeated manual adjustments and calibrations. This helps the vehicle to quickly stop at the preset fixed position, greatly shortening the vehicle loading and positioning time and improving cargo loading efficiency.

[0055] The pressure detection element and alarm module constitute an anti-skid warning system. The pressure detection element monitors the pressure changes of the tire 110 against the support components in real time. When the vehicle slips, causing abnormal pressure fluctuations or falling below the safety threshold, the alarm module will immediately issue an alarm signal, achieving dynamic monitoring of the vehicle's stationary state. Staff can receive warnings promptly and take countermeasures to quickly address the risk of vehicle movement and ensure safety during transportation.

[0056] Optionally, the positioning module includes a screen and a gravity sensor. The screen displays the relative position of the vehicle 100 to be transported and the mat 11, while the gravity sensor is mounted on the mat 11. This configuration allows for visualization via the screen, enabling operators to observe the relative position of the vehicle 100 and the mat 11 in real time. Integrating the gravity sensor onto the mat 11 allows for sensing changes in force on the mat 11, and inversely, determining the contact area and degree of offset between the vehicle and the mat 11. On one hand, the screen's visualization lowers the operational threshold, allowing for quick and accurate alignment of the vehicle and the mat 11 without relying on experience, reducing alignment errors. On the other hand, the gravity sensor, directly mounted on the mat 11, can capture position-related data in real time and accurately, avoiding external environmental interference, improving positioning accuracy, and thus increasing transport preparation efficiency. It also reduces the risk of collision damage to the vehicle or mat 11 due to alignment deviations. By setting up the positioning module, the vehicle 100 can quickly and accurately reach the preset fixed position, improving the efficiency of securing cargo on the vehicle transport vessel.

[0057] Specifically, the pad 11 is rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft 12 and a second rotating shaft 13 that are arranged parallel to each other in the radial direction of the tires 110 of the vehicle to be transported; the support assembly includes a first fixed frame 15 and a second fixed frame 16, which are rotatably connected by a third rotating shaft 14, and the rotation directions of the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 relative to the third rotating shaft 14 are always opposite, so that the angle between the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 and the pad 11 is adjustable. The third rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the pad 11 and is arranged parallel to the first rotating shaft 12 and the second rotating shaft 13. With this configuration, on the one hand, the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 are rotatably connected by the third pivot 14, and the rotation directions of the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 are opposite, so that the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 can be adjusted synchronously, thereby quickly realizing multi-angle and wide-range adjustment of the support component, which can fit the vehicles 100 to be transported with different sizes and different tire diameters 110, ensuring a tight contact with the tires 110 and avoiding unstable fixation due to vehicle model differences; on the other hand, the support component can be completely fitted to the pad 11 when folded: the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 are folded and closed by rotating around the third pivot 14, and finally remain flat with the pad 11. After folding, it does not occupy additional vertical space, which greatly saves the storage and operation space of the transport ship deck 200, and facilitates the stacking of other goods or the operation of equipment.

[0058] Furthermore, the first fixed frame 15 includes a first bottom rod and two first side rods, the two first side rods being arranged parallel to each other along the length direction of the third rotating shaft 14, the first bottom rod being fixedly connected to the end of the two first side rods away from the third rotating shaft 14, the first bottom rod and the two first side rods forming a U-shaped groove, in which the tire 110 of the vehicle to be transported 100 can be engaged; and / or, the second fixed frame 16 includes a second bottom rod and two second side rods, the two second side rods being arranged parallel to each other along the length direction of the third rotating shaft 14, the second bottom rod being fixedly connected to the end of the two second side rods away from the third rotating shaft 14, the second bottom rod and the two second side rods forming a U-shaped groove, in which the tire 110 of the vehicle to be transported 100 can be engaged.

[0059] This design serves two purposes. First, the two side bars of the U-shaped channel can form a barrier from the two end faces of the tire 110, directly restricting the tire 110's movement along its own axis. This prevents the lateral swaying force generated by the transport ship in wind and waves from causing the vehicle 100 to shift or sway. Compared to planar support, the U-shaped channel can "lock" the tire 110 in the channel, forming a displacement constraint and preventing the tire 110 from sliding along the surface of the support component due to inertia, further improving the stability of the fixation. Second, the bottom bar and the two side bars of the U-shaped channel can simultaneously contact the outer circumference and two end faces of the tire 110, significantly increasing the contact area between the support component and the tire 110. This changes the traditional single-point or single-line support force mode, allowing the pressure of the tire 110 to be evenly distributed throughout the entire U-shaped channel structure. This reduces the risk of localized deformation of the tire 110 and also reduces localized wear of the support component, extending its service life.

[0060] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes a first support frame 17 and a second support frame 18 symmetrically arranged relative to the first rotating shaft 12. One end of the first support frame 17 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 12, and the other end of the first support frame 17 is slidably connected to the first fixed frame 15. One end of the second support frame 18 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 13, and the other end of the second support frame 18 is slidably connected to the second fixed frame 16. This configuration serves two purposes. First, the symmetrical arrangement of the first support frame 17 and the second support frame 18 evenly distributes the pressure of the tire 110 onto the support assembly and the pad 11, preventing structural deformation caused by unilateral overload and significantly improving the load-bearing capacity and impact resistance of the support assembly, thus meeting the needs of heavy vehicle transportation. Second, the connection method of the first support frame 17 and the second support frame 18, which rotates at one end and slides at the other, allows for flexible adjustment of their posture in sync with the angle adjustment of the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16. This ensures that while the first fixed frame 15 and the second fixed frame 16 rotate in opposite directions to adapt to different tires 110, the first support frame 17 always maintains stable support for the first fixed frame 15, and the second support frame 18 maintains stable support for the second fixed frame 16. At the same time, the sliding connection can also compensate for the displacement difference caused by angle changes, reduce stress concentration and rigid friction between components, effectively extend the overall service life of the support assembly, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a first slide rail 19 is fixedly connected to the first fixed frame 15, and the first slide rail 19 is arranged perpendicular to the third rotating shaft 14. A first slider is provided at the end of the first support frame 17 away from the first rotating shaft 12, and the first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail 19; and / or, a second slide rail 20 is fixedly connected to the second fixed frame 16, and the second slide rail 20 is arranged perpendicular to the third rotating shaft 14. A second slider is provided at the end of the second support frame 18 away from the second rotating shaft 13, and the second slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail 20. With this configuration, the sliding friction between the support frame and the fixed frame is transformed into smoother rolling or low-friction sliding through the cooperation structure of the slider and the slide rail, greatly reducing the resistance during adjustment.

[0062] Furthermore, the fixing device 1 is provided with two first slide rails 19 and two second slide rails 20. The two first slide rails 19 are respectively disposed on the two first side rods of the first fixing frame 15, and the two second slide rails 20 are respectively disposed on the two second side rods of the second fixing frame 16.

[0063] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a first drive member for driving the first slider to slide in the first slide rail 19; and / or, the drive assembly includes a second drive member for driving the second slider to slide in the second slide rail 20. Specifically, both the first and second drive members are drive motors. By setting a drive motor, automatic angle adjustment between the support frame and the fixed frame is achieved, significantly shortening the vehicle fixing time and improving transportation efficiency; it can precisely control the slider sliding distance, ensuring a tight fit between the fixed frame and the tire 110, adapting to different vehicle specifications; it can also provide continuous and stable driving force, maintaining a fixed angle without deviation under complex working conditions such as ship turbulence, avoiding cargo damage, and further ensuring transportation safety.

[0064] Optionally, the fixing device 1 further includes two locking components: one locking component is disposed on the first slider, and the other locking component is disposed on the second slider. Each locking component includes a pin, an elastic element, and an operating element. Both the first slide rail 19 and the second slide rail 20 have multiple grooves spaced apart along their length. One end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the pin, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first or second slider. The operating element can extend or retract the elastic element, allowing the pin to be inserted into or disengaged from one of the grooves in the corresponding first slide rail 19 or second slide rail 20. Preferably, the elastic element is a spring, and the operating element can be a lever, button, handle, or other structure. The operator can control the operating element to cause the spring to contract against its own elastic force, thereby causing the pin to exit the lock hole and unlock.

[0065] This design serves two purposes. First, once the drive motor adjusts the slider to the target position, the operating component extends the elastic element, which then pushes the pin into the corresponding groove on the slide rail, forming a mechanical locking structure. Even if the drive motor fails or encounters severe bumps, it prevents the slider from sliding accidentally along the slide rail, ensuring that the support frame and the fixed frame maintain a stable angle and avoiding the risk of vehicle displacement due to loose fixing. Second, the multiple grooves spaced apart on the slide rail provide multiple locking positions for the pin. The slider can be fixed at different positions on the slide rail according to the size and support requirements of different vehicle tires 110, thereby adjusting the angle of the fixed frame and allowing the U-shaped groove to precisely engage tires 110 of different specifications, achieving stable fixing for various vehicle models and improving the versatility of the fixing device 1.

[0066] On the other hand, please refer to Figure 5 This embodiment provides a method for securing cargo on a vehicle transport vessel, applied to the aforementioned securing device 1. The method for securing cargo on a vehicle transport vessel includes:

[0067] Obtain the relative position information of the vehicle to be transported 100 and the fixed device 1 detected by the positioning module;

[0068] Determine whether the relative position between the vehicle to be transported 100 and the fixing device 1 has reached the preset fixed position;

[0069] If the preset fixed position is reached, the support components will unfold;

[0070] The drive support assembly rotates relative to the pad 11, adjusting the angle between the support assembly and the pad 11.

[0071] The pressure of the tire 110 of the vehicle to be transported on the support assembly is obtained by the pressure testing device.

[0072] Determine whether the vehicle to be transported 100 is fixed based on the pressure of the tires 110 on the support components.

[0073] If the tires 110 of the vehicle to be transported are not secured, return to the step of rotating the drive support assembly relative to the pad 11 and adjusting the angle between the support assembly and the pad 11.

[0074] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0075] If the tires 110 of the vehicle to be transported are fixed, the pressure of the tires 110 of the vehicle to be transported on the support components is obtained in real time by the pressure detection device.

[0076] Compare the pressure value of the tire 110 of the vehicle to be transported on the support component with the preset pressure value;

[0077] If the pressure value of the tires 110 of the vehicle to be transported against the support components is less than or equal to the preset pressure value, the alarm module will be activated to send an alarm signal.

[0078] First, the relative position information between the vehicle 100 to be transported and the fixing device 1 is obtained through the positioning module to determine whether the vehicle has moved to the preset fixed position. If not, the vehicle position needs to be adjusted until the preset requirements are met. After the vehicle reaches the preset fixed position, the support component of the fixing device 1 is first unfolded, and then the support component is driven to rotate relative to the pad 11 to adjust the angle between it and the pad 11 so that the support component can form effective contact with the vehicle tire 110. Next, the pressure of the vehicle tire 110 on the support component is obtained in real time through the pressure detection device, and the vehicle is determined to be fixed based on the pressure. If the tire 110 is not fixed, the vehicle is not fixed. Once the vehicle is secured, continue adjusting the angle between the support assembly and the pad 11 until the pressure meets the securing requirements, confirming that the vehicle is secured. After the vehicle is secured, the pressure of the tire 110 on the support assembly is still monitored in real time by the pressure detection device, and the detected pressure value is compared with the preset pressure value. If the detected pressure value is less than or equal to the preset pressure value, it indicates that the vehicle has moved and the securing device 1 has failed. The alarm module is immediately activated to issue an alarm signal, reminding the staff to take corresponding anti-slip measures in time, such as using straps or ties to reinforce the tire 110 and the securing device 1, to ensure the reliable securing of the vehicle 100 to be transported.

[0079] The cargo securing method for vehicle transport vessels proceeds in an orderly manner according to the logic of "detection, judgment, adjustment, confirmation, and monitoring". The steps are clear and do not rely on complex manual experience. Operators can efficiently complete the securing operation based on module feedback, improving the preparation efficiency before vehicle transportation.
