Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of floating devices on water, and in particular to a positioning buoy. Background Art

[0002] As a common floating facility on water, buoys are widely used in the fields of marine engineering, aquaculture, water tourism, etc. The existing buoys have the problem of not being able to be fixed in position during use, and are easily affected by water flow and displaced, which brings many inconveniences to use.

[0003] In the related art, simple fixing is mostly done by heavy objects or anchor chains. Although this method can achieve a certain fixing effect, after the buoy is anchored, although the problem of drifting with the tide is improved, the buoy cannot be adjusted according to the change in water surface height caused by the tide. Since the height between the anchor and the buoy is a fixed value, the buoy is easily submerged by the rising water surface, and the buoy cannot meet the complex and changeable water operation requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to improve the problem of low adaptability of the buoy to tides and enhance the compatibility of the buoy to water surface height, the present application provides a positioning buoy.

[0005] The present application provides a positioning buoy adopting the following technical solution:

[0006] A positioning buoy comprises a cylinder body, an anchor, a connecting rope and a winding box for winding the connecting rope, a counterweight block for controlling the floating posture is arranged inside the cylinder body, the winding box is arranged on the outer wall of the cylinder body, the connecting rope is wound in the winding box and can be extended and retracted outside the winding box, a hanging ring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rope extending from the winding box, and the anchor is connected to the hanging ring and anchored to the bottom of the water.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the counterweight block inside the cylinder allows the positioning buoy to control its floating posture in the water, ensuring that it will not tip over in a complex water flow environment. The anchor can be firmly anchored to the bottom of the water to prevent the buoy from drifting with the waves and provide a stable foundation for the buoy. The coordinated setting of the connecting rope and the winding box can make the connection between the positioning buoy and the anchor adjustable. According to the change of water depth, the buoy can maintain a relative height with the water surface by winding or releasing the connecting rope, preventing the buoy from being submerged below the water surface due to the tension of the anchor, thereby adapting to different water surface heights and work requirements, and improving the buoy's adaptability to tides and compatibility with water surface heights.

[0008] Furthermore, the winding box is provided with a locking piece for locking the extended length of the connecting rope.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking piece can ensure that the extended length of the connecting rope is accurately locked at the required position and will not be easily changed by changes in external environment such as water flow and wind force. This is very important for application scenarios that require precise control of the position or depth of the buoy. Locking the extended length of the connecting rope helps to reduce the shaking or displacement of the buoy caused by the extension and contraction of the connecting rope, which can further increase the stability of the positioning buoy.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting block is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder, a connecting lock is provided on the winding box, a through hole is opened on the connecting block for the connecting lock to pass through and fix, and the winding box is hung on the outer wall of the cylinder through the connecting lock.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable connection between the connecting lock and the cylinder allows the winding box to be disassembled or replaced as needed, and the winding box becomes an independent module of the positioning float, which helps to reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs and improve the scalability of the overall system. The matching setting between the connecting block and the connecting lock allows the winding box to be stably hung on the outer wall of the cylinder. The connecting lock is fixed to the connecting block through the through hole, ensuring a stable connection between the winding box and the cylinder, thereby improving the stability of the positioning float.

[0012] Furthermore, a partition is provided inside the cylinder, and the lower part of the partition and the inner wall of the cylinder together form a counterweight chamber for filling with the counterweight block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition divides the interior of the cylinder into different chambers, so that the position of the counterweight block is fixed, which helps to ensure the stability of the buoy's posture in the water, reduce the swaying and tilting of the buoy in the water, and thus improve the positioning accuracy of the buoy.

[0014] Furthermore, a pouring port for pouring cement slurry of the counterweight block is opened at the bottom of the cylinder, and the pouring port is communicated with the counterweight chamber.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the injection port at the bottom of the cylinder can facilitate the injection of cement slurry into the counterweight chamber, so that the injection amount of cement slurry can be adjusted according to demand, thereby adjusting the buoy counterweight, so that the buoy can accurately control the floating posture.

[0016] Furthermore, a guide tube for guiding the injection head to extend into is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder at the injection port, the guide tube is located in the counterweight chamber and is interconnected with the injection port and the counterweight chamber, and a gap is left between the end of the guide tube away from the bottom of the cylinder and the partition for cement slurry to pass through.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide pipe is interconnected with the injection port and the counterweight chamber, ensuring that the cement slurry can flow smoothly from the injection port into the counterweight chamber. The gap between the end of the guide pipe away from the bottom of the cylinder and the partition allows the cement slurry to flow freely to various parts of the counterweight chamber, ensuring the uniform distribution of the counterweight. The guide pipe ensures that the injection head can be accurately extended into the counterweight chamber, avoiding deviation or leakage during the injection process, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the injection.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing plug, which is arranged in the injection port and is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the guide tube.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plug and the inner wall of the guide tube are pressed against each other to form a sealing barrier. On the one hand, it can prevent the cement slurry from flowing out of the injection port when it is not solidified. On the other hand, after the cement slurry is solidified into a counterweight block, the sealing plug can prevent external substances such as water and mud from entering the counterweight chamber through the injection port, ensuring that the cement counterweight block in the counterweight chamber remains dry and stable in properties.

[0020] Furthermore, a limiting plate is provided on one end of the seal away from the partition.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit plate limits the insertion depth of the sealing plug into the guide tube, preventing the sealing plug from being damaged or stuck due to excessive insertion. The operator can more intuitively judge the installation position of the sealing plug, so that the sealing plug can accurately reach the predetermined position during installation, ensuring the correct installation and good sealing of the sealing plug.

[0022] Furthermore, a first pressure relief hole is provided on the partition, and a second pressure relief hole is provided on the top of the cylinder.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first pressure relief hole and the second pressure relief hole are arranged in cooperation, so that the inside of the cylinder can be connected with the external atmosphere. As the slurry is injected, the pressure inside the cylinder will gradually increase, and the pressure relief hole will release the pressure to ensure the stability of the grouting process. When the grouting is completed, the pressure relief hole can help discharge the excess gas in the slurry to ensure the uniform density and structural stability of the counterweight.

[0024] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. The counterweight and baffle inside the cylinder ensure the stability of the buoy in the water, reduce shaking and tilting, and improve positioning accuracy. The filling port and guide pipe design at the bottom of the cylinder make the process of pouring cement slurry into the counterweight chamber more accurate and efficient, and the counterweight of the buoy can be adjusted according to needs;

[0026] 2. The coordination of the anchor, the connecting rope and the reel box enables the buoy to adjust its relative height to the water surface according to the change of water depth, thus improving the buoy's adaptability to tides and compatibility with water surface height. The locking piece on the reel box can accurately lock the extended length of the connecting rope, fix the position or depth of the buoy, and reduce the displacement of the buoy caused by environmental changes;

[0027] 3. The setting of the pressure relief hole can balance the internal pressure of the cylinder in time to ensure a smooth pouring process. The coordinated setting of the sealing plug and the limit plate ensures a good seal of the pouring port to prevent the cement slurry from flowing out or external substances from entering before solidification.

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following is combined with Example 1, Example 2 and the attached Figure 1-6 , further details of this application are given.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] The embodiments of the present application disclose a positioning buoy. The words such as "upper" and "lower" used to express the positional relationship in the embodiments are determined with reference to the placement and installation position of the positioning buoy when it is in a normal use state.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning buoy includes a cylinder 1, an anchor 2, a connecting rope 3, and a winding box 4 for winding the connecting rope 3. A connecting block 11 is integrally provided on the outer wall of the cylinder 1, and the connecting block 11 is located at the lower part of the cylinder 1 for connecting the anchor 2. A through hole 111 is opened on the connecting block 11, and a connecting lock 6 for connecting the winding box 4 is penetrated in the through hole 111, and the connecting lock 6 connects the winding box 4 to the cylinder 1 detachably.

[0039] The connecting rope 3 is wound in the winding box 4 and can be retracted in the winding box 4. A hanging ring 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rope 3 extending out of the winding box 4. The anchor 2 is hung at the end position of the connecting rope 3 through the hanging ring 31 for anchoring at the bottom of the water.

[0040] The winding box 4 is provided with a locking piece 41 for locking the extended length of the connecting rope 3. When the anchor 2 pulls the connecting rope 3 and anchors it at the bottom of the water, the operator turns the locking piece 41 to lock the length of the connecting rope 3 to fix the floating height of the cylinder 1 on the water surface.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylinder 1 of this embodiment is a columnar hollow shell, and a counterweight 5 for controlling the floating posture of the cylinder 1 is arranged inside the cylinder 1. The counterweight 5 in this embodiment is formed by pouring cement mortar into the cylinder 1 and solidifying. A partition 12 is arranged inside the cylinder 1, and the bottom of the partition 12 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1 together form a counterweight chamber 13 for pouring cement mortar of the counterweight 5.

[0042] A pouring port 14 is provided at the center of the bottom of the cylinder 1. A guide pipe 15 is provided on the bottom of the cylinder 1 at the pouring port 14. The guide pipe 15 is perpendicular to and integrally connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1. The guide pipe 15 is located inside the counterweight chamber 13 and is interconnected with the pouring port 14 and the counterweight chamber 13. A gap for cement slurry to flow through is left between the end of the guide pipe 15 away from the bottom of the cylinder 1 and the partition 12. The guide pipe 15 is used to guide the pouring head of the pouring equipment to extend therein, so as to facilitate the pouring of cement slurry into the counterweight chamber 13.

[0043] A sealing plug 16 is also provided in the injection port 14, and the sealing plug 16 and the inner wall of the guide tube 15 are pressed against each other to prevent the uncured cement slurry from flowing out. A limit plate 161 is coaxially provided on the end of the sealing plug 16, and when the sealing plug 16 is inserted into the guide tube 15, the limit plate 161 and the bottom of the cylinder 1 are pressed against each other to improve the sealing effect, and also prevent the sealing plug 16 from being inserted too deeply into the guide tube 15.

[0044] A first pressure relief hole 121 is opened at the center position of the partition 12, and a second pressure relief hole 17 is coaxially opened on the upper plate surface of the cylinder 1. The counterweight chamber 13 is connected to the atmosphere through the first pressure relief hole 121 and the second pressure relief hole 17. When cement slurry is poured into the counterweight chamber 13, the pressure in the chamber can be balanced, making the pouring process smoother.

[0045] The implementation principle of a positioning buoy in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the connecting block 11 and the connecting lock 6 on the cylinder 1 enable the winding box 4 to be hung on the cylinder 1, and the winding box 4 winds up or releases the connecting rope 3. The other end of the connecting rope 3 is connected to the anchor 2 through the hanging ring 31, which is used to fix the buoy to the bottom of the water, so that the buoy can adjust its relative height with the water surface according to the change of water depth, thereby improving the adaptability of the buoy to tides and water surface height. The locking piece 41 on the winding box 4 can lock the extended length of the connecting rope 3, thereby fixing the floating height of the buoy on the water surface, making the positioning of the buoy more accurate and stable. The filling port 14 and the guide tube 15 opened at the bottom of the cylinder 1 allow cement slurry to be injected into the guide tube 15 from the filling port 14 through the filling equipment, and then flow into the counterweight chamber 13. By pouring cement slurry into the counterweight chamber 13 inside the cylinder 1 and solidifying it to form the counterweight block 5, the floating posture of the buoy is controlled to ensure the stability of the buoy in the water and reduce the shaking and tilting caused by external factors such as water flow and wind.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the cylinder 1 in this embodiment gradually narrows from the middle position to the top position, and the upper part of the cylinder 1 is generally conical.

[0048] The setting of the cylinder body 1 with a cone top makes the shape of the buoy more streamlined to reduce resistance, thereby improving the stability of the buoy in the water, making the buoy suitable for water environments with large winds and waves or rapid currents, ensuring that the buoy maintains a stable floating posture in these environments.

[0049] Since the top of the cylinder 1 is narrowed, the buoyancy distribution of the float is more reasonable. At the bottom and middle of the float, due to the large volume, sufficient buoyancy can be provided to support the weight of the float. The narrow top design reduces unnecessary buoyancy, allowing the float to float more stably on the water surface.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
