AI Technical Summary
Existing unmanned ship docking devices cannot regularly and slowly place the pedal on the ground, which may cause the pedal to fall too quickly and hit pedestrians on the ground.
A docking device for marine monitoring is designed. The pedal is driven by a motor to drive the rotation of the shaft, and the engagement mechanism between the ratchet and the pawl is used to make the pedal slowly and regularly lower the pedal to the ground. At the same time, a telescopic rod is installed on the pedal and the bottom plate for support to prevent the pedal from collapsing too much load load.
The automatic slow drop of the pedal is achieved, which avoids harm to pedestrians and prevents the pedal from collapsing due to excessive weight.

By rotating the driving rotating shaft 4, the pedal 6 is driven to rotate and contact the ground. At the same time, by arranging the ratchet wheel 7 and the pawl 14, the pedal 6 can be slowly and regularly lowered to the ground. Thus, the pedal 6 can be lowered to the ground without manual operation, and at the same time, it can prevent the pedal 6 from falling too fast and hitting pedestrians on the ground.
[0028] A first connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. A telescopic rod 17 is hinged to the first connecting plate 16. One end of the telescopic rod 17 away from the first connecting plate 16 is hinged to a second connecting plate 18. The second connecting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the pedal 6. By providing the telescopic rod 17 on the bottom plate 1 and the pedal 6, the pedal 6 can be further supported to prevent the pedal 6 from collapsing due to excessive weight. An installation plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1. The installation plate 19 is provided with through holes. There are four groups of installation plates 19, and the four groups of installation plates 19 are evenly distributed on the bottom plate 1. There are two groups of telescopic rods 17, and the two groups of telescopic rods 17 are evenly distributed between the pedal 6 and the bottom plate 1. The spring 12 is sleeved on the sliding column 11. The diameter of the spring 12 is smaller than the diameter of the sleeve 10. The pedal 6 is made of stainless steel.
[0029] Working principle: First, when the unmanned boat moves to the shore and needs to dock, the motor 3 can be started. The output end of the motor 3 drives the driving rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the driving rotating shaft 4 drives the pedal 6 to rotate, so that the pedal 6 is lowered to the ground. Then the rotation of the pedal 6 drives the telescopic rod 17 to rotate and stretch on the bottom plate 1. By providing the telescopic rod 17 on the bottom plate 1 and the pedal 6, the pedal 6 can be further supported to prevent the pedal 6 from collapsing due to excessive weight. At the same time, the rotation of the driving rotating shaft 4 drives the ratchet wheel 7 to rotate. The ratchet wheel 7 continuously slides on the pawl 14, causing the pawl 14 to move backward. The backward movement of the pawl 14 drives the sliding column 11 to compress the spring 12, and the spring 12 releases elastic force to pop the pawl 14 into the groove on the ratchet wheel 7. Therefore, the ratchet wheel 7 can drive the driving rotating shaft 4 to rotate intermittently and regularly, and then the driving rotating shaft 4 can make the pedal 6 slowly and regularly lower to the ground. Through such a setting, the pedal 6 can be lowered to the ground without manual operation, and at the same time, it can prevent the pedal 6 from falling too fast and hitting pedestrians on the ground. Finally, the docking is completed, and the staff can board the ship for inspection.

Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
