Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine engineering equipment, in particular to a locking device for a liftable offshore trestle. Background Art

[0002] During the inspection, repair and maintenance of wind power platforms, the operation and maintenance ship equipped with a boarding ladder plays an important role. The operation and maintenance personnel use the equipment and tools on the mother ship to board the wind power platform through the gangway, or the offshore pier, and conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the wind power platform's generator sets, electrical equipment, mechanical parts, etc. to ensure the normal operation and power generation efficiency of the wind power platform.

[0003] In order to meet the operation and maintenance needs of wind power platforms at different heights, the wind power operation and maintenance mother ship needs to be equipped with a lifting tower, and the offshore trestle is raised and lowered along the lifting tower. In the current wind power operation and maintenance mother ships, most of the offshore trestle and the lifting tower are not equipped with effective locking protection devices. In the offshore operation environment, the wind power operation and maintenance mother ship is often affected by natural forces such as wind and waves, resulting in shaking and swaying. The connection between the gangway and the lifting tower without a locking device will become unstable, prone to relative displacement or shaking, increasing the safety risk of the operation and maintenance personnel when getting on and off the ship, and may cause accidents such as slips and falls. At the same time, the connection between the gangway and the lifting tower without a locking device is unstable, and the operation and maintenance personnel will feel unstable and shaking when getting on and off the ship, affecting the speed and accuracy of the operation. Especially in emergency situations, such as when rapid evacuation or emergency repairs are required, unstable connections will seriously hinder the rapid response and action capabilities of the operation and maintenance personnel. In addition, long-term shaking and unstable connections may cause wear and damage to the connecting parts, which in turn affects the structural stability and service life of the entire mother ship.

[0004] Therefore, when designing and building a wind power operation and maintenance mother ship with a gangway, the importance and necessity of the locking device must be fully considered to ensure a stable connection between the gangway and the lifting tower, and to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the operation and maintenance operations.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 The utility model provides a locking device for a liftable offshore trestle 4, which includes a lifting tower 1 and an offshore trestle lifting platform 2, wherein the offshore trestle lifting platform 2 is provided with a cross beam 21, and a clamping seat 22 is installed at the end of the cross beam 21. The lifting tower 1 is provided with a lifting track, and the offshore trestle lifting platform 2 is slidably connected to the lifting track through the clamping seat 22. A locking device body 5 is installed in the clamping seat 22, and the locking device body 5 includes an L-shaped curved arm 52 and a locking cylinder 51; the corner position of the L-shaped curved arm 52 is provided to be rotatably connected to the clamping seat 22; a hinge hole 53 is provided at the corner position of the L-shaped curved arm 52, and a pin hole is correspondingly provided on the clamping seat 22, and the hinge hole 53 is connected to the pin hole through a pin shaft to realize the rotation connection between the L-shaped curved arm 52 and the clamping seat 22. The two ends of the locking cylinder 51 are respectively hinged to the clamping seat 22 and the right end of the L-shaped curved arm 52 through a pin shaft; the left end of the L-shaped curved arm 52 is in contact with the lifting tower 1, and the locking cylinder 51 drives the L-shaped curved arm 52 to rotate, thereby increasing the friction between the left end of the L-shaped curved arm 52 and the lifting tower 1 to achieve locking. A friction plate 54 is installed at the left end of the L-shaped curved arm 52, and the friction plate 54 preferably has a curved surface structure and is made of rubber material.
