Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bollard technology, specifically a floating bollard. Background Technology

[0002] A bollard is a facility installed on the superstructure of a wharf for mooring ships. The bollard is designed and selected according to the berth capacity and the type of wharf structure to meet the requirements of safe and reliable operation and convenient use for ships to berth, move, and turn around. A bollard is generally composed of a shell, anchor bolt, nut, washer, anchor plate and core filler. According to the different materials, it is divided into two categories: cast iron and cast steel.

[0003] With the rise of the shipping industry, more and more surface locks are being built. After the bollards are fixed to the lock wall, most of them will be submerged in water with the arrival of the rainy season. It is difficult for the moored ships to quickly fix the cables to the bollards. The existing floating bollards in the lock chamber will sink to varying degrees on the original foundation platform, which makes it difficult to guarantee the safety of the subsequent bollards and cables.

[0004] The technical challenge that this invention aims to address is to provide normal guidance to moored vessels using floating bollards in lock chambers under unstable water conditions, and to ensure stable pressure resistance after the cables are tightened. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A floating bollard includes a bearing mechanism, a buoyancy lifting mechanism mounted on the bearing mechanism, and a cable tightening mechanism mounted on the buoyancy lifting mechanism. The bearing mechanism includes multiple embedded bolts in the lock chamber wall, two pressure-resistant bases attached to the wall, multiple pre-tightening bolts penetrating the two pressure-resistant bases and connected to the embedded bolts, a sleeve fixedly installed in the two pressure-resistant bases, and two sealing clamps installed on both sides of the sleeve. The buoyancy lifting mechanism includes a reinforcing vertical rod movably installed in the sleeve and limited and clamped by the two sealing clamps, two auxiliary floating pads fixed to both sides of the reinforcing vertical rod by two supports, a support plate fixed to the top of the reinforcing vertical rod, a hollow steel ring fixedly installed on the outside of the support plate, and bolts fixed to the support plate. The bottom includes a pressure-stabilizing jacket, multiple stabilizing weights movably installed inside the pressure-stabilizing jacket, two positioning rods penetrating inside the pressure-stabilizing jacket and inserted into the multiple stabilizing weights, and a combined sealing sleeve installed in the slot at the top of the tray. The cable tightening mechanism includes a base fixed to one side of the top of the tray by multiple bolts and washers, a vertical rail fixedly installed inside the base, two reinforcing springs connected in two grooves inside the vertical rail, two sliders movably installed in two grooves inside the vertical rail and attached to the bottom of the two reinforcing springs, pads fixed to the outer ends of the two sliders, an outer plate fixed to the outside of the pads by bolts, two support plates welded to the outside of the outer plate, columns fixedly installed in the two support plates, and multiple waterproof sleeves movably installed in multiple holes at the top of the base.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that the pressure-resistant base is composed of a partition, a guide rod, and a collar, and the inner side of the collar is provided with two arc grooves that clamp the two sealing clamps.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, two pressure-resistant bases attached to the wall are fixed to the outer ends of multiple pre-embedded bolts using multiple bolts and washers. At this time, the vertically distributed sleeves are fixed in multiple collars inside the two pressure-resistant bases. As the water level in the gate rises, the rising water will rush up from the bottom of the sleeve. Finally, the air squeezed in the inner cavity of the sleeve will push the plug at the bottom of the reinforcing rod to rise upward.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: a semi-cylindrical end is installed on the top of the sealing clamp, and the inner sides of the two semi-cylindrical ends on the top of the two sealing clamps are provided with slots that constrain the reinforcing vertical rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, two sealing clamps located in the grooves on both sides of the sleeve are fixed and clamped by multiple collars. At this time, the semi-cylindrical ends at the top of the two sealing clamps will penetrate into the cavity at the top of the sleeve, and the circular hole formed between the two semi-cylindrical ends after docking will limit and constrain the reinforcing vertical rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: a bracket is installed on the side of the auxiliary float near the reinforcing vertical rod, and a float is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary float.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary floating pads are fixed to the outside of the reinforcing vertical rod using a bracket. At this time, the combined reinforcing vertical rod and the two auxiliary floating pads will be distributed in a cross shape. When the water level in the gate rises to the highest water level to be measured, the two auxiliary floating pads will work with the hollow steel ring to stably float above the water surface against the support plate and the fixed vertical rail.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that both the pallet and the hollow steel ring are made of cast steel, and the hollow steel ring has a sealed annular cavity inside.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, by opening an annular cavity inside the hollow steel ring, when the water level inside the gate rises, the annular cavity inside the hollow steel ring can work with two auxiliary floating pads to provide sufficient buoyancy for the vertically distributed vertical rails, pads and columns.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: an L-shaped insert plate is installed on the top of the voltage stabilizing jacket, and multiple grooves are equally spaced on the outer side of the voltage stabilizing jacket, while vertical holes with the same diameter are symmetrically distributed inside the voltage stabilizing jacket and inside the multiple stabilizing weights.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped insert plate at the top of the voltage stabilizing jacket is assembled along the groove inside the support plate, and two positioning rods are used to fix multiple stabilizing weights that are movably installed inside the voltage stabilizing jacket. At this time, the assembled voltage stabilizing jacket and multiple stabilizing weights can be adjusted in conjunction with the vertical rail as the center of gravity of the support plate and the hollow steel ring.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two grooves are formed inside the vertical rail, and two sliders fixed to the outside of the pad block are adapted to pass through the two grooves.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, two sliders welded to the outside of the pad are movably installed in two grooves inside the vertical rail. Two reinforcing springs connected in the two grooves inside the vertical rail will elastically press the two sliders, thereby facilitating the reduction of the tension force of the cable on the column.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: symmetrically distributed rectangular reinforcing rods are installed in the middle of the top and bottom surfaces of the support plate, and four conical reinforcing ribs are installed at the bottom of the outer end of the support plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, two support plates are welded to the outside of the outer plate. At this time, the reinforcing rods and reinforcing ribs inside the two support plates will be welded and fixed to the bottom of the column. At this time, the elliptical column head at the top of the column will limit and block the winding cable.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention involves pre-installing multiple embedded bolts on the outer wall of the lock chamber near the water surface, and using multiple bolts to fix two pressure-resistant bases to the wall. The sleeve is then fixed inside the two pressure-resistant bases. At this time, two sealing clamps fixed inside the two pressure-resistant bases will clamp the top port of the sleeve. When the water level rises and flows in from the bottom of the sleeve, the compressed gas inside the sleeve will cause the plug at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod to rise. When the water level outside the sleeve rises to the highest position, two auxiliary floating pads installed on both sides of the top of the reinforcing vertical rod will float on the water surface in conjunction with hollow steel rings. Finally, the base and vertical rail, which are bolted to the top of the support plate, can provide a floating platform for the column to tighten the cable and for subsequent external force to pull, thus facilitating the quick tightening and fixation of the cable on the ship to the column.

[0022] 2. This invention installs two symmetrically distributed reinforcing springs in two grooves inside the vertical rail, and connects the bottom ends of the two reinforcing springs to the top of two sliders. When the cable is wound and fixed to the outside of the column, as the ship sways on the water, when the cable is taut and applies a corresponding pulling force to the column, the pad and the two sliders will slide along the two grooves inside the vertical rail. At this time, the pulling force of the cable on the column will be buffered to a certain extent. The pressure stabilizing jacket fixed to the bottom of the support plate with bolts will form a counterweight structure with multiple stabilizing weights. At this time, the support plate and the hollow steel ring fixed on its outer edge can work with the vertical rail, the assembled pressure stabilizing jacket, and the multiple stabilizing weights to adjust the balance state of floating on the water surface. When the overall center of gravity of the support plate is stable, the air squeezed in the inner cavity of the sleeve will smoothly push the column head at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod upward, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the reinforcing vertical rod being obstructed due to the instability of the support plate's center of gravity when the water level rises.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0026] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0027] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of a floating mooring bollard provided by the present invention. Example 1:

[0028] Combination Figures 1-9 As shown, the present invention provides a floating bollard, which includes a supporting mechanism 100, a buoyancy lifting mechanism 200 installed on the supporting mechanism 100, and a cable tightening mechanism 300 installed on the buoyancy lifting mechanism 200.

[0029] The load-bearing mechanism 100 includes a pressure-resistant base 110, a pre-embedded bolt 120, a sleeve 130, a sealing clamp 140, and a pre-tightening bolt 150. The buoyancy lifting mechanism 200 includes a reinforcing vertical rod 210, an auxiliary floating pad 220, a support plate 230, a hollow steel ring 240, a pressure-stabilizing outer sleeve 250, a stabilizing weight 260, a positioning insertion rod 270, and a combined sealing sleeve 280. The cable tightening mechanism 300 includes a base 310, a vertical rail 320, a reinforcing compression spring 330, a slider 340, a pad 350, an outer plate 360, a support plate 370, a column 380, and a waterproof rubber sleeve 390.

[0030] Specifically, two pressure-resistant bases 110 are attached to the wall inside the gate. Multiple pre-tightening bolts 150 connected in multiple pre-embedded bolts 120 pass through the two pressure-resistant bases 110. A sleeve 130 is fixedly installed inside the two pressure-resistant bases 110. Two sealing clamps 140 are installed on both sides outside the sleeve 130. A reinforcing vertical rod 210, which is limited and clamped by the two sealing clamps 140, is movably installed inside the sleeve 130. Two auxiliary floating pads 220 are fixed on both sides outside the reinforcing vertical rod 210 using two brackets. A support plate 230 is fixed to the top of the reinforcing vertical rod 210. A hollow steel ring 240 is fixedly installed outside the support plate 230. A pressure-stabilizing outer sleeve 250 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 230 using bolts. Multiple stabilizing weights 260 are movably installed inside the pressure-stabilizing outer sleeve 250 and inserted into the multiple stabilizing weights 260. Two positioning rods 270 extend into the pressure stabilizing sleeve 250. A combined sealing sleeve 280 is installed in the slot at the top of the support plate 230. The base 310 is fixed to one side of the top of the support plate 230 using multiple bolts and washers. The vertical rail 320 is fixedly installed inside the base 310. Two reinforcing springs 330 are connected to two sliding grooves inside the vertical rail 320. Two sliders 340, which are attached to the bottom of the two reinforcing springs 330, are movably installed in two sliding grooves inside the vertical rail 320. A pad 350 is fixed to the outer end of the two sliders 340. The outer plate 360 ​​is fixed to the outside of the pad 350 using bolts. Two support plates 370 are welded to the outside of the outer plate 360. The column 380 is fixedly installed inside the two support plates 370. Multiple waterproof sleeves 390 are movably installed in multiple holes at the top of the base 310.

[0031] Two pressure-resistant bases 110 are fixed to the wall using multiple bolts, and a sleeve 130 is fixed inside the two pressure-resistant bases 110. At this time, two sealing clamps 140 fixed inside the two pressure-resistant bases 110 will clamp the top port of the sleeve 130. When the water level rises and flows in from the bottom of the sleeve 130, the compressed gas inside the sleeve 130 will cause the plug at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 to rise. When the water level outside the sleeve 130 rises to the highest position, two auxiliary floating pads 220 installed on both sides of the top of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 will float on the water surface in conjunction with the hollow steel ring 240. Finally, the base 310 and vertical rail 320, which are bolted to the top of the support plate 230, provide a floating platform for the column 380 to tighten the cable and for subsequent external force pulling. After the cable is wrapped and fixed to the outside of the column 380, as the ship sways on the water surface, When the cable is taut and applies a corresponding pulling force to the column 380, the pad 350 and the two sliders 340 will slide along the two grooves inside the vertical rail 320. At this time, the pulling force of the cable on the column 380 will be buffered to a certain extent. The pressure stabilizing jacket 250, which is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 230 by bolts, will work with multiple stabilizing weights 260 to form a counterweight structure. At this time, the support plate 230 and the hollow steel ring 240 fixed on its outer edge can work with the vertical rail 320, the assembled pressure stabilizing jacket 250, and the multiple stabilizing weights 260 to adjust the balance of floating on the water surface. When the overall center of gravity of the support plate 230 is stable, the air squeezed in the inner cavity of the sleeve 130 will smoothly push the column head at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 upward, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 being obstructed due to the instability of the center of gravity of the support plate 230 when the water level rises. Example 2:

[0032] Combination Figures 3-7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the pressure-resistant base 110 is composed of a partition, a guide rod, and a collar. The inner side of the collar is provided with two arc grooves that clamp the two sealing clamps 140. The top of the sealing clamps 140 is equipped with a semi-cylindrical end, and the inner side of the two semi-cylindrical ends at the top of the two sealing clamps 140 is provided with a hole groove that constrains the body of the reinforcing vertical rod 210.

[0033] Multiple collars are used to fix and clamp the two sealing clamps 140 located in the grooves on both sides of the sleeve 130. At this time, the semi-cylindrical ends of the two sealing clamps 140 will penetrate into the cavity at the top of the sleeve 130. After docking, the circular hole formed between the two semi-cylindrical ends will limit and constrain the body of the reinforcing vertical rod 210, thereby ensuring that the lifting of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 can be stably raised and lowered by the two semi-cylindrical ends. Combined with multiple bolts and washers, the two rods are attached to the wall. One pressure-resistant base 110 is fixed to the outer end of multiple pre-embedded bolts 120. At this time, the vertically distributed sleeves 130 will be fixed in multiple collars inside the two pressure-resistant bases 110. As the water level in the lock rises, the rising water will rush up from the bottom of the sleeve 130. Finally, the air squeezed in the inner cavity of the sleeve 130 will push the plug at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 to rise, thereby ensuring that the support plate 230 and the hollow steel ring 240 are always exposed above the water surface, which facilitates the rapid tightening of the cables on the ship. Example 3:

[0034] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a bracket is installed on the side of the auxiliary float 220 near the reinforcing vertical rod 210, and a float is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary float 220. The support plate 230 and the hollow steel ring 240 are both made of cast steel, and a sealed annular cavity is opened inside the hollow steel ring 240. An L-shaped insert plate is installed on the top of the pressure stabilizing jacket 250, and multiple grooves with equal spacing are opened on the outer side of the pressure stabilizing jacket 250. The interior of the pressure stabilizing jacket 250 and the interior of the multiple stabilizing weights 260 have symmetrically distributed vertical holes with the same diameter.

[0035] The auxiliary floating pads 220 are fixed to the outside of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 using a bracket. After assembly, the reinforcing vertical rod 210 and the two auxiliary floating pads 220 will form a cross-shaped structure. As the water level inside the gate continues to rise, the annular cavity inside the hollow steel ring 240, in conjunction with the two auxiliary floating pads 220, provides sufficient buoyancy to the vertically distributed vertical rails 320, pads 350, and columns 380. The two auxiliary floating pads 220, together with the hollow steel ring 240, support the support plate 230 and the fixed vertical rails 320. The 20 floats stably above the water surface, allowing the exposed column 380 to guide the cable to be tightened. At the same time, it works with two positioning rods 270 to fix multiple stabilizing weights 260 that are movably installed inside the pressure stabilizing jacket 250. At this time, the combined pressure stabilizing jacket 250 and multiple stabilizing weights 260 can be adjusted with the vertical rail 320 as the center of gravity of the support plate 230 and the hollow steel ring 240, thereby preventing the reinforcement column 210 from being obstructed by the two sealing clamps 140 when the center of gravity shifts due to the lifting of the column. Example 4:

[0036] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, two grooves are opened inside the vertical rail 320, and two sliders 340 fixed on the outside of the pad 350 are adapted to pass through the two grooves. Rectangular reinforcing rods are symmetrically distributed in the middle of the top and bottom surfaces of the support plate 370, and four conical reinforcing ribs are installed at the bottom of the outer end of the support plate 370.

[0037] By welding two support plates 370 to the outside of the outer plate 360, the reinforcing rods and ribs inside the two support plates 370 are welded and fixed to the bottom of the column 380. At this time, the elliptical column head at the top of the column 380 will limit and block the wound cable, thereby effectively preventing the cable from falling off after tightening. At the same time, two sliders 340 welded to the outside of the pad 350 are movably installed in two grooves inside the vertical rail 320. Two reinforcing springs 330 connected in the two grooves inside the vertical rail 320 will elastically press the two sliders 340. When the wound and tightened cable drives the column 380 and the pad 350 to extend along the groove inside the vertical rail 320, the impact force on the two extended sliders 340 will be reduced by the two reinforcing springs 330.

[0038] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: The column 380 is pre-welded into the end holes at the outer ends of the two support plates 370. Then, the inner ends of the two support plates 370 are welded to the outer wall of the outer plate 360. Next, the assembled outer plate 360 ​​is fixedly installed on the outside of the pad 350 using three bolts. At this time, the two sliders 340 assembled on the other side of the pad 350 are movably installed in the grooves inside the vertical rail 320. The two reinforcing springs 330 connected in the two grooves inside the vertical rail 320 apply a downward pushing force to the tops of the two sliders 340. At this time, the bottom of the pad 350 will adhere to the top of the support plate 230. The base 310, fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rail 320, is fixed to one side of the top of the support plate 230 by multiple bolts and washers. Multiple waterproof sleeves 390 are installed on the base 310. In the multiple holes at the top of the pressure stabilizing jacket 250, the L-shaped insert plate at the top of the pressure stabilizing jacket 250 is then inserted through the slot in the support plate 230. Next, the number of stabilizing weights 260 is added according to the floating state of the hollow steel ring 240 on the test water surface. After multiple stabilizing weights 260 are movably installed in the groove inside the pressure stabilizing jacket 250, the operator needs to use two positioning rods 270 to fix the multiple stabilizing weights 260 movably installed inside the pressure stabilizing jacket 250. Then, a bolt is inserted into the support plate 230 and threaded into the screw hole inside the pressure stabilizing jacket 250. At this time, the entire pressure stabilizing jacket 250 will work with the vertical rail 320 to adjust the center of gravity of the floating hollow steel ring 240. At this time, the assembled hollow steel ring 240 can provide a stable suspension platform for the pad block 350 to be pulled by the force. After the base 310 is fixed to one side of the top of the support plate 230 by multiple bolts and washers, as the cable is wound and tightened around the outside of the column 380, when the hull inside the lock is affected by the rising water level and swaying during the rainy season, the column 380 will be pulled up and down along the sliding groove inside the vertical rail 320. With the completion of the power station hub, when the lock is put into operation, the mooring bollards installed on the lock wall are easily flooded by the water inside the lock, which will cause great interference to the pulling and positioning of passing ships. When the sleeve 130 is fixed by two pressure-resistant bases 110 Once fixed to the inner wall of the lock near the water surface by multiple bolts and multiple pre-embedded bolts 120, the rising water will surge up through the holes at the bottom of the sleeve 130, eventually compressing the air and pushing the plug at the bottom of the reinforcing vertical rod 210 upward. Finally, with the help of the hollow steel ring 240 and two auxiliary floats 220 that can assist in floating on the water surface, the device can guide the mooring lines of ships docked in the lock, so as to avoid the disadvantage of the existing mooring bollards fixed on the ground being submerged below the water level as the water level rises.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
