At this time, timely manual loosening of the cable is required, which is cumbersome and risky. Once the operation is wrong, it is easy to cause casualties. If the cable is not loosened in time, it will cause the mooring cable to break, the mooring bollard to be sheared and damaged, etc., resulting in the failure of the dock mooring.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] The following description sets forth specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in a variety of other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the gravity-type dock mooring connection device of the utility model includes a connection weight block 8. During the up and down movement of the connection weight block 8, the tension in the connection mooring cable connecting the moored ship is adjusted to keep the tension in the connection mooring cable constant. In this embodiment, the weight G of the connection weight block 8 is 1-1.5 times the pre-tension T in the connection mooring cable.
[0023] The connecting weight 8 is connected to the third pulley 6 above it through the connecting chain cable 7. The third pulley 6 is slidably arranged in the vertically arranged guide rail 5. The third pulley 6 drives the connecting weight 8 connected thereto to move up and down during the up and down movement in the guide rail 5. A buffer mechanism 9 is arranged below the connecting weight 8. During the rising and falling process of the connecting weight 8, the contact between the connecting weight 8 and the buffer mechanism is conducive to the dissipation of the energy of the connecting weight in motion, and prevents the connecting weight 8 from being damaged due to an excessively fast descending speed.
[0024] In this embodiment, the connecting weight 8 can be made of reinforced concrete, steel, a steel cage with built-in stones, cast iron or other composite weights, and can be cylindrical, square, disc-shaped, etc., and the connecting weight provides a restoring force for dock mooring. The connecting chain cable 7 can be an anchor chain or an elastic composite material.
[0025] In this embodiment, the guide rail 5 is arranged on the support plate, so the third pulley 6 is slidably arranged on the support plate. A buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the support plate, and the buffer mechanism can be a rubber buffer pad or a sand pool. The support plate is arranged in a vertical direction and is located between the dock mooring post 1 and the moored ship 14. The support plate is also provided with a first pulley 2 and a second pulley 4, wherein the first pulley 2 is located at the lower part of the support plate near the dock mooring post 1, and the second pulley 4 is located between the first pulley 2 and the third pulley 6, and is located at the upper part of the support plate. One end of the first connecting mooring cable 3 is fixedly connected to the dock mooring post 1, and the other end is connected to the ship mooring post or a winch on the ship. The middle part of the first connecting mooring cable 3 is passed around the lower surface of the first pulley 2, the upper surface of the second pulley 4, and the lower surface of the third pulley 6 in sequence.
[0026] In this embodiment, the angle α between the first connecting cable between the second pulley 4 and the third pulley 6 and the horizontal plane is 40-80°.
[0027] The end of the first connecting mooring cable 3 is connected to the ship's mooring bollard or a winch on the ship through the second connecting mooring cable 12. A shackle 10 is fixed to the end of the first connecting mooring cable 3, a lute head 11 is fixed to one end of the second connecting mooring cable 12, and the other end of the second connecting mooring cable 12 is fixedly connected to the ship's mooring bollard 15. In order to protect the ship, a fender 13 is provided between the dock and the moored ship, and the fender 13 is fixed to the side wall of the dock. A fourth pulley can also be provided on the moored ship, and the second connecting mooring cable passes around the upper surface of the fourth pulley. The fourth pulley plays a guiding role for the second connecting mooring cable.
[0028] In this embodiment, the angle β between the second connecting mooring cable and the horizontal plane is 30-60°. And the angle α and the angle β satisfy the following formula:
[0029]
[0030] In the initial state, the third pulley 6 connected to the connecting weight 8 is located at the bottom of the guide rail. At this time, the distance h0 between the connecting weight 8 and the ground is:
[0031] h0=h1-D1tanα=h2-D2tanβ,
[0032] Among them, h1 is the vertical height of the first pulley 4, h2 is the vertical height of the mooring point between the second connecting mooring cable and the ship, D1 is the horizontal distance between the first pulley and the connecting weight, and D2 is the horizontal distance between the mooring point between the ship and the second connecting mooring cable and the connecting weight.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first connecting mooring cable and the second connecting mooring cable may be made of a high elastic composite material, which includes polyester cable and nylon. The shackle may be an Ω-shaped shackle structure or a D-shaped shackle structure.
[0034] The length L of the connecting mooring cable including the first connecting mooring cable and the second connecting mooring cable is:
[0035] L=L1+D1 / cosα+D2 / cosβ,
[0036] Wherein, L1 is the length of the first connecting cable passing through the first pulley 2 to the second pulley 4.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, when the seawater is at low tide, the third pulley 6 is located at the lower part of the guide rail 5, and at this time, preparation is made for the rise of the third pulley when the seawater tide level rises.
[0038] like Figure 3As shown, when the sea tide level increases, the height of the mooring point where the second connecting mooring cable 12 is connected to the ship's mooring column 15 also increases accordingly. At this time, the third pulley 6 is driven to move upward along the guide rail 5 through the second connecting mooring cable 15 and the first connecting mooring cable 3, thereby driving the connecting weight block 8 to move upward along the guide rail 5 until the connecting weight block 8 reaches a suitable position.
[0039] The working process of the device is as follows. First, the device is installed, and the connecting weight is hung on the third pulley through the connecting chain cable. Before the moored ship berths to the dock, the lute head 11 on the second connecting mooring cable 12 is dropped, so that the lute head 11 is connected to the shackle 10 at the end of the first connecting mooring cable 3. The cable car on the moored ship is used to perform the cable collection operation to adjust the first connecting mooring cable and the second connecting mooring cable to a suitable length.
[0040] During the operation of the device, if the mooring point of the moored ship is too far from the dock, the connecting weight will be lifted along the guide rail, and the connecting weight will rise to a suitable position as the position of the moored ship changes; if the mooring point of the moored ship is too close to the dock, the connecting weight will fall along the guide rail, and the connecting weight will fall to a suitable position as the position of the moored ship changes. The connecting weight will contact the buffer mechanism during the descent process to avoid damage to the connecting weight due to excessive descent speed. By raising or lowering the connecting weight, the sudden increase in tension of the connecting cable caused by the change in tide level can be alleviated, so that the tension in the connecting cable remains constant or changes less.
