Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pilot protection equipment, and particularly to an anti-falling cushion for a pilot boat. Background Art

[0002] The pilot's pilotage work is inseparable from the daily boarding and leaving the ship process. Due to the large sea waves, both the target large ship and the pilot boat will continuously rise and fall with the waves, which makes the pilot at risk of falling during the boarding and leaving the ship process. And when the pilot falls from the boarding and leaving the ship platform, it is very likely that he will fall on the bulwark of the pilot boat. The bulwark is the iron part protruding upward on the pilot boat. When the pilot falls from top to bottom on this bulwark, it is easy to cause serious personal injuries to the pilot. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to at least solve one of the technical problems in the related technologies to a certain extent: to provide an anti-falling cushion for a pilot boat, which can be laid on the bulwark and reduce the personal injuries caused by the pilot hitting the bulwark when a falling accident occurs to the pilot.

[0004] To this end, an object of the utility model is to propose an anti-falling cushion for a pilot boat, which includes a housing, an air cushion and a roller shaft housed in the housing, and an air pump for inflating the air cushion. The roller shaft is rotationally matched with the housing. The rear end of the air cushion is connected to the roller shaft and wound around the roller shaft. One side of the housing has an opening for the front end of the air cushion to pass through. The air cushion is arranged to have a U-shaped groove matching the bulwark of the hull in the inflated state, so that the U-shaped groove of the air cushion can cover the outside of the bulwark from top to bottom. Before each boarding and leaving the ship, other crew members can pull the air cushion out of the housing, then start the air pump to inflate the air cushion. After inflation, the air cushion is in a U shape. Finally, turn the air cushion outwards towards the bulwark. At this time, the U-shaped groove on the air cushion nests on the bulwark from top to bottom, playing a protective role. After the pilotage work is over, only need to deflate the air cushion and then rewind the deflated air cushion through the roller shaft.

[0005] According to an example of the utility model, the air cushion includes an inner section, a main functional section and an outer section connected in sequence. The inner section is connected to the roller shaft in the housing, and the inner section, the main functional section and the outer section form the U-shaped groove.

[0006] According to an example of the utility model, the thickness of the main functional section is greater than or equal to the thickness of the inner section and the outer section. The main functional section of the air cushion is located above the bulwark, so it is the main part that plays a buffering role when a falling accident occurs to the pilot. Therefore, the thickness of this main functional section needs to be relatively thick.

[0007] According to an example of the utility model, the outer section is provided with a connecting piece that is detachably connected to a connecting seat on the outer side wall of the bulwark. The connecting piece can connect the middle and outer sections of the air cushion to the outer side wall of the bulwark, thereby avoiding the risk of the air cushion being separated from the bulwark under the action of sea breeze.

[0008] According to an example of the utility model, a life-saving ladder is provided at the end of the outer section of the air cushion away from the main functional section, and one end of the life-saving ladder is fixedly connected to the air cushion. By adding a life-saving ladder to the air cushion, the life-saving ladder can be suspended on the sea surface and used for marine rescue when a pilot falls into the sea.

[0009] According to an example of the utility model, the end of the outer section of the air cushion away from the main functional section is provided with a housing cavity, the life-saving ladder is placed in the housing cavity, the end of the housing cavity away from the air cushion has an opening, and the housing cavity is provided with a switch for opening and closing the opening. The life-saving ladder is stored in the housing cavity during the daily laying of the air cushion, which reduces the corrosion of the life-saving ladder by water vapor at sea and increases the service life of the life-saving ladder. When it is needed, the life-saving ladder can be deployed by opening the opening on the housing cavity through the switch, which is convenient for sea rescue.

[0010] According to an example of the utility model, the accommodating cavity is communicated with the inner cavity of the air cushion. The high-pressure air in the air cushion can be more helpful in pushing the life-saving ladder out from the opening of the accommodating cavity.

[0011] According to an example of the utility model, a virtual cutting line for forming an opening is provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity at the end position away from the air cushion, and the switch component includes a pull rope pre-buried in the side wall of the accommodating cavity along the virtual cutting line, and one end of the pull rope extends outside the accommodating cavity to form a pull ring.

[0012] According to an example of the utility model, the life-saving ladder is a mesh structure.

[0013] According to an example of the utility model, a driving motor for driving the roller to rotate is provided on the shell.

[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: firstly, after being inflated, the air cushion can form a U-shaped structure matching the bulwark, and can be nested on the bulwark from top to bottom, playing a protective buffering role in the event of a pilot falling accident. In addition, after being deflated, the air cushion can be rolled up into the shell through a roller shaft, so as to be reused many times; secondly, a connecting piece is arranged on the outer section of the air cushion, and the connecting piece can be detachably connected to the connecting seat on the bulwark, thereby providing a fixed supporting point, avoiding the risk of the air cushion being separated from the bulwark under the blowing of the sea breeze; finally, a life-saving soft ladder hidden in the accommodating cavity is arranged on the air cushion, so that when the pilot falls into the sea, the life-saving soft ladder can be hung to the sea surface, which is convenient for rescue.

[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of the present utility model will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned through the practice of the present utility model. Description of the Drawings

[0022] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0023] During the daily pilotage work, the pilot needs to travel back and forth between the pilot boat and the target vessel. Whether boarding or leaving the ship, the pilot is at risk of falling, which is also an important reason for the pilotage work to become a high-risk occupation. Most of the pilot falls occur between the boarding and leaving platform of the pilot boat and the climbing ladder suspended outside the target vessel. After the pilot falls, it is easy to fall on the gunwale 2' of the pilot boat, causing serious injuries, and even further turning out to the sea after falling on the gunwale 2', resulting in secondary injuries. And it is extremely inconvenient to rescue the crew who has fallen into the sea during the pilotage work. Therefore, how to reduce the falling injury of the pilot during the boarding and leaving of the ship has become an important improvement direction in the industry.

[0024] The anti-falling pad of the pilot boat according to the embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0025] Based on the serious problem of pilot falling injuries in the above-mentioned industry, the present utility model provides a pilot boat anti-fall pad. As shown in the figure, it includes a housing 1, an air cushion 2 and a roller 3 housed in the housing 1, and an air pump 4 for inflating the air cushion 2. The roller 3 is rotationally engaged with the housing 1. The rear end of the air cushion 2 is connected to the roller 3 and wound around the roller 3. The back of the housing 1 has a mounting member connected to the hull 1'. The housing 1 has an opening at other positions except the back for the front end of the air cushion 2 to pass through. The air pump 4 is connected to the air cushion 2 through a supply hose. The air cushion 2 is arranged to have a U-shaped groove matching the bulwark 2' of the hull 1' in the inflated state, so that the U-shaped groove of the air cushion 2 can cover the outside of the bulwark 2' from top to bottom.

[0026] Preferably, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the mounting member on the back of the housing 1 is snap-connected to the inner side wall of the bulwark 2' on the hull 1'.

[0027] Preferably, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the opening is located on the front of the housing 1 or on the bottom surface of the housing 1.

[0028] Preferably, an inflation port is provided at a position near the rear end of the air cushion 2, and the air pump 4 is connected to the inflation port through a supply hose. During actual use, most of the air cushion 2 is pulled out of the housing 1 through the front end of the air cushion 2 and the air cushion 2 is unfolded. At this time, the inflation port at the rear end of the air cushion 2 is exposed outside the housing 1. At this time, one end of the supply hose is docked and connected to the inflation port, and starting the air pump 4 can complete the inflation of the air cushion 2.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the air cushion 2 is in a U-shaped structure in the inflated state, that is, a U-shaped groove is formed on the air cushion 2. Specifically, the air cushion 2 includes an inner section 2.1, a main functional section 2.2 and an outer section 2.3 connected in sequence. The inner section 2.1 is connected to the roller 3 in the housing 1, and the inner section 2.1, the main functional section 2.2 and the outer section 2.3 constitute the U-shaped groove. The inner section 2.1, the main functional section 2.2 and the outer section 2.3 are interconnected. In this embodiment, the air cushion 2 can be turned outwards by the crew after inflation so that the U-shaped groove of the air cushion 2 is nested on the bulwark 2' of the hull 1' from top to bottom.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the main functional section 2.2 located above the bulwark 2' plays a major buffering role when the pilot falls on the bulwark 2'. Therefore, in the preference of this embodiment, the thickness of the main functional section 2.2 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the inner section 2.1, and the thickness of the main functional section 2.2 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the outer section 2.3.

[0031] Due to relatively large sea waves and winds, there is a risk that the air cushion 2 may become detached from the bulwark 2' under the action of the sea breeze. Therefore, the improvement in this embodiment lies in: a connecting member 5 is provided on the outer section 2.3, which is detachably connected to a connecting seat on the outer side wall of the bulwark 2'.

[0032] Based on one of the preferred examples of the connecting member 5 in the above embodiment: the connecting member 5 and the connecting seat are two parts of a matching quick connector, and the connecting seat is fixed on the outer side wall of the bulwark 2'. Such quick connectors can be connected by means of mutual insertion or mutual screwing, etc. This quick connector is an existing commercially available product, so the structure of the connecting member 5 will not be elaborated one by one in this embodiment.

[0033] When a pilot has a falling accident, they generally fall on the bulwark 2'. Although the buffering effect of the air cushion 2 reduces the damage to the pilot's body, there is a risk that the pilot may fall outward into the sea after falling on the bulwark 2'. Therefore, based on the improvement of the above embodiment: a life-saving soft ladder 6 is provided at the end of the outer section 2.3 of the air cushion 2 that faces away from the main functional section 2.2, and one end of the life-saving soft ladder 6 is fixedly connected to the air cushion 2. The free end of the life-saving soft ladder 6 hangs down into the sea, which can facilitate the pilot or rescue personnel to climb back onto the hull 1' from the sea by means of the life-saving soft ladder 6.

[0034] Since the air cushion 2 needs to be pre-laid every time a pilot boards or leaves the ship, and immersing the end of the life-saving soft ladder 6 in seawater will inevitably cause corrosion of the life-saving soft ladder 6. Therefore, the improvement in this embodiment lies in: a receiving cavity 7 is provided at the end of the outer section 2.3 of the air cushion 2 that faces away from the main functional section 2.2, the life-saving soft ladder 6 is placed in the receiving cavity 7, the end of the receiving cavity 7 that faces away from the air cushion 2 has an opening 7.1, and a switching member 8 for opening and closing the opening 7.1 is provided on the receiving cavity 7. Thus, the life-saving soft ladder 6 can be folded and stored in the receiving cavity 7 usually. If there is no accident of the pilot falling into the sea after the air cushion 2 is inflated and installed each time, the life-saving soft ladder 6 does not need to be used and can be kept in the receiving cavity 7, reducing contact with the external air, thereby reducing the corrosion effect of seawater or water vapor in the ocean on the life-saving soft ladder 6; while in the event of a falling accident, the rescue personnel can open the opening 7.1 of the receiving cavity 7 by controlling the switching member 8, and at this time the life-saving soft ladder 6 can automatically hang down to the sea surface under its own gravity from the opening 7.1.

[0035] Furthermore, the receiving cavity 7 is communicated with the inner cavity of the air cushion 2. Through the communication between the air cushion 2 and the receiving cavity 7, when the switching member 8 opens the opening 7.1, the high-pressure air in the air cushion 2 can be discharged from the opening 7.1 through the receiving cavity 7. Thus, the air flow acts on the life-saving soft ladder 6, that is, the air flow exerts a thrust on the life-saving soft ladder 6 to move and unfold outward.

[0036] Based on one of the preferred examples of the switching member 8: such asFigure 3 As shown, the switch member 8 is an end cover 8a. The outer shell of the accommodating cavity 7 is made of a hard material. One side of the end cover 8a is hinged to one side of the open end 7.1, and the other side is connected to the open end 7.1 through an electric control switch. The rescue personnel can control the on-off of the electric control switch to make the end cover 8a cover the open end 7.1 and seal the open end 7.1, or open the end cover 8a. Both the electric control switch and the end cover 8a are commercially available components, so the structure of the electric control switch will not be described in detail one by one.

[0037] Further, the electric control switch is communicatively connected to a remote controller, and the remote controller is arranged on the hull 1'.

[0038] Based on the second preferred example of the switch member 8 above: A virtual cutting line for forming the open end 7.1 is provided at an end position of the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7 away from the air cushion 2. The virtual cutting line is a preset virtual line on the accommodating cavity 7. The switch member 8 includes a pulling rope 8b embedded in the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7 along the virtual cutting line. A part of the pulling rope 8b extends outside the accommodating cavity 7, and the exposed end forms a pull ring. The part of the pulling rope 8b embedded in the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7 is arranged such that when the pulling rope 8b is subjected to an external pulling force and tears open from the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7, the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7 cracks along the virtual line to form the open end 7.1. In the packaging field, it is a commonly used technical means to pull the pulling rope 8b along a specific line to make the sealed package form a tear opening of the required size and shape along the specific line, and this will not be elaborated one by one. It should be understood that when the pulling rope 8b detaches from the side wall of the accommodating cavity 7, it will take away a part of the wall thickness of the accommodating cavity, so that the thickness of the side wall of the accommodating cavity decreases at the position of the virtual cutting line. At the same time, under the action of the pulling force of the pulling rope 8b, the side wall of the accommodating cavity will crack along the position with a thinner wall thickness.

[0039] Specifically, the pull ring of the pulling rope 8b extends along the outer side wall of the air cushion 2 to the bulwark 2', so that it is convenient for the rescue personnel to grasp the pull ring, and when it is necessary to open the open end 7.1, the virtual cutting line on the accommodating cavity 7 can be pulled and broken by the pulling rope 8b, finally forming the open end 7.1.

[0040] Preferably, the rescue soft ladder 6 is of a mesh structure.

[0041] Preferably, a driving motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the roller shaft 3 to rotate is provided on the housing 1.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0043] For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications will undoubtedly be obvious after reading the above description. Therefore, the appended claims should be regarded as covering all changes and modifications that fall within the true intent and scope of this utility model. Any and all equivalent scopes and contents within the scope of the claims should be considered to still fall within the intent and scope of this utility model.
