[0002] With the development of society, the water transport industry is developing day by day, and the number of ships passing through the locks is increasing. In the lock project, floating mooring posts are installed in the lock chamber, but most of the floating mooring posts do not have a display function, and cannot display the mooring force when the ship is moored, and cannot monitor and check the actual mooring force of the ship passing through the lock. Some locks use local stress to reversely calculate the mooring force by welding or pasting sensors near the mooring post structure. However, in actual use, the mooring method of the ship is determined by the crew themselves. Therefore, when the ship is moored and docked, the mooring angle is random. The method of reversely calculating the mooring force by monitoring the local stress of the fixed point with sensors has limitations, and cannot monitor the mooring force values ​​at all angles. The measured results are approximate values ​​and cannot be applied to other lock structures.

[0003] As can be seen from the above, the existing technology has the problem of poor accuracy in monitoring the mooring force of floating bollards. Utility Model Content

The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] In order to solve the problem of poor accuracy in mooring force monitoring of floating mooring posts in the prior art, the utility model provides a floating mooring post with mooring force monitoring.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the floating mooring column includes a buoy 10, a mooring column 20, a guide wheel system 30 and a force sensor assembly 40. The mooring column 20 is arranged on the buoy 10 for connecting with a ship. The guide wheel system 30 is arranged on the buoy 10 for movably connecting the buoy 10 with the guide groove 81 of the lock wall 80. The force sensor assembly 40 is arranged on the guide wheel system 30 for monitoring the support reaction force of the guide wheel system 30.

[0030] By setting a guide wheel system 30 on the buoy 10 of the floating mooring column, when the buoy 10 moves up and down with the water level, the buoy 10 can be quickly moved along the guide groove 81 to reduce the resistance to floating, and the force sensor assembly 40 set on the guide wheel system 30 is used to monitor the supporting reaction force of the guide wheel system 30 in real time. During this process, the ship is moored to the mooring column, and the force sensor assembly 40 can adapt to various mooring angles and can accurately obtain the mooring force of the ship.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the guide wheel system 30 includes a longitudinal roller 31 and a transverse roller 32. The longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 are stacked and arranged in intervals, and the roller axes of the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 are perpendicular to each other.

[0032] Specifically, the roller whose axis is perpendicular to the gate wall 80 is the longitudinal roller 31, and the roller parallel to the gate wall 80 is the transverse roller 32. In actual use, the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 are in contact with the groove wall and the groove bottom of the guide groove 81 respectively. When the buoy 10 floats, the guide wheel system 30 rolls in the guide groove 81. When the ship is moored to the mooring post 20, when the direction of the cable is perpendicular to the roller axis of the longitudinal roller 31, the longitudinal roller 31 takes effect under the tension of the ship, and the ship drives the buoy 10 to roll along the guide groove 81 through the longitudinal roller 31. When the cable has a certain angle with the roller axis of the longitudinal roller 31, both the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 are subjected to tension.

[0033] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the force sensor assembly 40 includes a first force sensor 41 and a second force sensor 42 , and the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 are respectively disposed on the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 .

[0034] Specifically, the first force sensor 41 is arranged on the roller shaft of the longitudinal roller 31, the second force sensor 42 is arranged on the roller shaft of the transverse roller 32, the guide wheel system 30 and the force sensor assembly 40 are arranged correspondingly, and the support reaction force exerted on the guide wheel system 30 is monitored by the force sensor assembly 40, which can adapt to different cable mooring angles, and the structure and scheme are simple, which can adapt to different measurement situations.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first force sensor 41 and / or the second force sensor 42 is a pin sensor.

[0036] Specifically, the pin sensor is installed on the float 10, and the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 are mounted on the pin sensor and matched with the pin sensor. When the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 roll along the guide groove 81, the pin sensor rotates around its own axis, and can monitor the status of the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 in real time.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are a plurality of guide wheel trains 30 , and the plurality of guide wheel trains 30 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the buoy 10 .

[0038] Specifically, the guide wheel system is respectively arranged at the top, middle and bottom of the buoy 10. If the water level in the lock is very low, the bottom of the buoy 1 may touch the bottom, and the entire buoy 10 is supported by the guide wheel system 30 at the bottom. Optionally, the guide wheel system 30 has a certain elasticity, and plays a buffering role when the water level drops and the buoy 10 drops, thereby preventing the buoy 10 from being damaged.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the buoy 10 includes a bracket 11 and a main body 12 , the bracket 11 is arranged on the top of the main body 12 , at least one of the plurality of guide wheel trains 30 is arranged on the bracket 11 , and at least one guide wheel train 30 is arranged on the main body 12 .

[0040] Specifically, two symmetrical guide wheel trains 30 are provided at the top and bottom of the main body 12, and two guide wheel trains 30 are symmetrically provided on the bracket 11. The edge of the guide wheel train 30 on the bracket 11 is higher than the bracket 11. When the water level is too high, it prevents the bracket from hitting the top of the lock structure, thereby playing a buffering role.

[0041] Furthermore, the bracket 11 and the main body 12 are connected by welding or threading. In this embodiment, the bracket 11 and the main body 12 are connected by welding to form an integral structure.

[0042] In an undisclosed embodiment of the present application, a flange is provided on the top of the main body 12, and a mounting threaded hole is provided on the bracket 11. The bracket 11 is threadedly connected to the flange through the mounting threaded hole to facilitate assembly production and subsequent maintenance.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are two mooring posts 20 , which are respectively arranged on the bracket 11 and the main body 12 .

[0044] Specifically, a triangular plate is provided at the top of the bracket 11, the axis of the triangular plate coincides with the axis of the main body 12, two corners of the triangular plate are respectively provided with a guide wheel system 30, and the other corner is provided with a mooring post 20. By providing two mooring posts 20, the mooring needs of ships of different tonnages under fully loaded and unloaded conditions are met.

[0045] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the floating bollard further comprises a data processor 50 , which is electrically connected to the force sensor assembly 40 .

[0046] Specifically, since the longitudinal roller 31 and the transverse roller 32 of the guide wheel system 30 are perpendicular to each other, the reaction force directions of the rollers measured by the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 are also perpendicular to each other. The data measured by the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42 are transmitted to the data processor 50, and the data processor 50 processes the received signal, completes A / D conversion of the reaction force signal, and performs vector synthesis to form a resultant force, thereby obtaining the mooring force of the docked ship. Optionally, the data processor 50 is set on the triangular plate of the bracket 11 and is provided with a protective shell to prevent water in the waterway from wetting the data processor 50, causing the data processing accuracy of the data processor 50 to decrease, or even short-circuiting and burning the data processor 50.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the floating bollard further comprises a display 60 , which is electrically connected to the data processor 50 and is used to display the values ​​of the data processor 50 .

[0048] Specifically, the display 60 is electrically connected to the data processor 50. After the data processor 50 receives and processes the data signals from the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42, it is displayed through the display 60 to facilitate observation and recording by the staff of the lock. Optionally, the display is set on the triangular plate on the top of the bracket 11 and is provided with a waterproof structure.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the floating bollard further includes an alarm 70 , which is disposed on the buoy 10 and is electrically connected to the data processor 50 .

[0050] Specifically, a preset value of the mooring force is set inside the data processor 50, and the data processor 50 is connected to the alarm 70 with a cable. After the data processor 50 receives and processes the data signals of the first force sensor 41 and the second force sensor 42, when the synthesized mooring force exceeds the preset value inside the data processor 50, the alarm 70 is controlled to sound an alarm, so as to promptly remind the staff to prevent economic losses from being caused.

[0051] In this embodiment, the alarm 70 is an audible and visual alarm, which warns through both audible and visual means when an alarm is sounded, and the alarm 70 is disposed on the bracket 11, which is beneficial to the early assembly of the buoy 10.

[0052] Furthermore, a power supply device 90 is also provided on the top of the gate wall 80. The power supply device 90 is located on the top of the buoy 10 and connected to the gate wall 80. The power supply device 90 is connected to the force sensor assembly 40, the data processor 50, the display 60 and the alarm 70 through the cable 91. Specifically, the power supply device 90 is provided with a wire receiving box. The cable 91 maintains a certain tension. When the buoy 10 floats, the cable 91 can be stored in the wire receiving box to prevent the excessively long cable 91 from being entangled by other structures. Optionally, a wire clamping groove is provided on the bracket 11 and the main body 12. The cable 91 is accommodated in the wire clamping groove to avoid the cable 91 from being messy.

[0053] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the floating mooring column includes a buoy 10, a mooring column 20, a guide wheel system 30 and a force sensor assembly 40. The mooring column 20 is arranged on the buoy 10 for connecting with the ship. The guide wheel system 30 is arranged on the buoy 10 for movably connecting the buoy 10 with the guide groove 81 of the gate wall 80. The force sensor assembly 40 is arranged on the guide wheel system 30 for monitoring the supporting reaction force of the guide wheel system 30. By arranging the guide wheel system 30 on the buoy 10 of the floating mooring column, when the buoy 10 moves up and down with the water level, the buoy 10 can move quickly along the guide groove 81 to reduce the resistance to floating, and the force sensor assembly 40 arranged on the guide wheel system 30 is used to monitor the supporting reaction force of the guide wheel system 30 in real time. In this process, the ship is moored to the mooring column, and the force sensor assembly 40 can adapt to various mooring angles and accurately obtain the mooring force of the ship.
