Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ship rescue and search and rescue equipment, in particular to a novel container emergency position indicating beacon. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of the shipping economy, especially container ships, has placed higher demands on maritime aids to navigation emergency response and maintenance management capabilities. When a container falls overboard on a container ship, the sinking of the container can adversely affect the safety of vessels passing through the affected area and may even cause groundings, collisions, and other accidents. Due to the unique structural design of the container's outer surface, installing anchoring devices on the container makes it difficult. Currently, the beacons used to search for fallen containers consist of a magnetic anchor, an inflatable float connected to the magnetic anchor by a cable, and an AIS beacon fixed to the inflatable float. As the beacon moves with the floating container, the buoyancy of the inflatable float causes the container to flip over during the floating process due to the buoyancy of the inflatable float, and the rope connecting the beacon to the magnetic anchor is prone to knotting. When the rope is stretched, it is subjected to high stress under the action of the water flow and is easily broken, thus affecting the accuracy of the container's positioning. Furthermore, these inflatable beacons are complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a novel container emergency location marker to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] A new container emergency position marker comprises a position marker box, a position marker fixed in the position marker box, a base arranged at the bottom of the position marker box, and a magnet for adsorbing and fixing the entire new container emergency position marker on the container. The magnet is fixed in the base, and the position marker box is provided with a ring for tying a delivery rope.

[0005] Preferably, at least one protective pad is provided on the inner wall of the position indicating beacon box.

[0006] Preferably, the protective pad is a rubber pad.

[0007] Preferably, the position marker box includes a major arc-shaped box body larger than a semicircle, sealing plates fixed at both ends of the major arc-shaped box body, a hanging ring vertically fixed on the sealing plate at one end of the position marker box, and the outer diameter of the position marker matches the inner diameter of the major arc-shaped box body.

[0008] Preferably, the position indicating mark box is arranged horizontally with its opening facing upward, the base is vertically fixed to the bottom center of the position indicating mark box, and the position indicating mark box and the base are welded and fixed or integrally injection molded.

[0009] Preferably, the magnet is fixed in the base by bolts and its bottom protrudes from the base.

[0010] Preferably, the magnet is a high-strength neodymium iron boron magnet.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The present application has a simple structure, a compact and light overall design, a strong adsorption capacity, stable adsorption, and is easy to produce and manufacture. By welding or directly forming the position marker box of the fixed position marker with the base of the fixed magnet, the original rope connecting the magnet of the position marker box is discarded, thereby effectively solving the problem that the rope connecting the position marker and the magnetic anchor is easily knotted after the container is overturned by the surge during the floating process, and the rope is subjected to large force under the action of water flow after being stretched, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the container and improving the efficiency of container positioning and salvage.

[0013] 2. When using existing position markers to locate and salvage containers, it usually requires scanning, re-scanning, placing guide ropes, divers going into the water, tying and salvaging, etc., while this application only requires the crew to bring a handheld sonar device, and they can work independently to quickly locate the position of the container. After locating the container, the container structure is directly destroyed to quickly clear the waterway, which provides more possibilities for the handling strategy of fallen containers, such as dredging ships with grab buckets, tamping ships with heavy hammers, etc., which can make full use of limited emergency resources in the jurisdiction and improve the efficiency of emergency response.

[0014] 3. The position marker of the present application uses a high-strength neodymium iron boron magnet with strong magnetic force, stable adsorption and not easy to fall off. By adsorbing the position marker of the present application on the container fragment and dropping it into the water at different depths, the movement state of the fallen container is simulated by towing by a ship. After testing, the position marker of the present application is stable in the water depth of 5-10 meters, different concave and convex surfaces, and the speed of 0-7 knots. The adsorption position of the position marker does not change significantly.

[0015] 4. By arranging at least one protective pad on the inner wall of the position marker box, the position marker can be protected when it is installed to avoid damage to the position marker due to scratches and friction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention is described below using specific embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts of the present invention.

[0024] The terms used in this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the disclosure. As used in this disclosure and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," "the," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The utility model provides a novel container emergency position marker, which comprises a position marker box 1, a position marker 2 fixed in the position marker box 1, a base 3 arranged at the bottom of the position marker box 1, and a magnet 4 fixed in the base 3.

[0027] The position beacon box 1 is used to securely mount a position beacon 2. The shape of the position beacon box 1 can be designed based on the shape of the position beacon 2. In this embodiment, the position beacon box 1 includes a major arc-shaped box body 9 that is larger than a semicircle and sealing plates 8 fixed to both ends of the major arc-shaped box body 9. The outer diameter of the position beacon 2 matches the inner diameter of the major arc-shaped box body 9. By securing the position beacon 2 within the major arc-shaped box body 9, the position beacon 2 is unlikely to fall out of the major arc-shaped box body 9 under any operating conditions.

[0028] Preferably, a lifting ring 5 is vertically fixed on the sealing plate at one end of the position-indicating beacon box 1. The lifting ring 5 is used to bind the delivery rope. By binding the delivery rope to the lifting ring 5, the device can be thrown and adsorbed on the floating container.

[0029] Preferably, at least one protective pad 6 is provided on the inner wall of the position marker box 1 to protect the position marker 2 and prevent damage to the position marker 2 caused by friction between the position marker box 1 and the position marker 2. In this embodiment, the protective pad 6 is a rubber pad, but the protective pad 6 can also be made of other soft or elastic materials.

[0030] The position indicator beacon 2 is an underwater positioning beacon with an automatic positioning function. It can help accurately identify the location of the container, shorten the search time and distance, reduce salvage costs, and prevent grounding and collision accidents. Because the underwater positioning beacon is an existing product on the market, its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0031] The base 3 is vertically fixed to the bottom center of the position marker box 1. The position marker box 1 is horizontally arranged with its opening facing upward. The position marker box 1 and the base 3 can be fixed by welding or can be integrally injection molded. In this embodiment, the position marker box 1 and the base 3 are welded and fixed as a whole.

[0032] A magnet 4 is mounted within the base 3. Its shape matches the shape of the internal mounting chamber. It is secured to the base 3 via bolts 7, with its base extending approximately 2 mm from the base 3. Magnet 4 is used to secure the entire container emergency location beacon to the container. In this embodiment, magnet 4 utilizes a high-strength NdFeB magnet. This magnet possesses a strong magnetic force, enabling it to securely attach to concave, convex, or inclined surfaces of the container, preventing it from falling off.

[0033] When a container falls into the water, the delivery rope is tied to the lifting ring 5, and then the device is thrown and adsorbed on the floating container by holding the delivery rope. The device is thrown on the square surface of the head and tail of the container as much as possible to prevent the beacon from scraping the riverbed or being pressed to the bottom when the container sinks and drags the bottom.

[0034] After the device is attached to the container, it will move with the container. The crew's handheld sonar equipment sends a detection pulse signal, and the position-indicating beacon 2 can provide real-time feedback on the container's position through broadcast pulses or response pulses, and can quickly and accurately locate the container's position.

[0035] It should be understood that the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
