Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of port equipment safety, in particular to an automatic anchoring device for large-scale port equipment. Background Art

[0002] The working area of large port equipment is located at the front of the wharf. Due to its structural characteristics, its windward area is large. When faced with extreme weather, it is more vulnerable to wind disasters, which may cause catastrophic damage accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to equip it with anchoring devices to prevent wind disasters.

[0003] As a windproof and anti-slip safety device, the anchoring device is also one of the necessary devices for large-scale port equipment. The traditional anchoring device of large-scale port equipment is usually used in conjunction with the pre-buried anchor pit at the dock. However, the traditional anchoring device requires manual operation by staff when starting and fixing the anchoring device in the anchor pit, which consumes a lot of manpower and time, so it needs to be improved.

[0004] Although there are some improved anchoring devices in the prior art, for example, the utility model patent with publication number CN221051384U discloses an automatic anchoring device for large-scale port equipment, which moves the mounting block downward to the top of the anchor pit by turning on the driving mechanism, and then turns on motor 2. The output shaft of motor 2 provides power to drive the gear to rotate. When the gear rotates, it drives the movable plates on both sides to move inward at the same time, so that anchor block 1 and anchor block 2 are both retracted into the interior of the mounting block. The driving mechanism is continued to operate, so that the bottom of the mounting block is inserted into the anchor groove and motor 2 is operated in the opposite direction, so that anchor block 1 and anchor block 2 move outward and are firmly fixed in the anchor groove. Although this can improve the degree of automation in the anchoring process and reduce the workload of the staff, after using the motor to insert the mounting block into the interior of the anchor pit, it is necessary to start another motor to drive the anchor block to press against the inner wall of the anchor pit, which not only makes the overall cost of the anchoring device too high, but also increases the subsequent maintenance cost.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to study an automatic anchoring device for large-scale port equipment to solve the above problems or alleviate the impact of the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatic anchoring device for large-scale port equipment of the present invention may include an anchoring mechanism and an anchoring pit 3, an anchoring groove 4 is formed inside the anchoring pit 3, and the anchoring mechanism includes a driving block 10 and a mounting block 14 matching the anchoring groove 4;

[0030] Among them, the mounting block 14 is provided with a T-slot running through three sides, and two symmetrical anchor components are movably installed in the T-slot corresponding to the first slot and the second slot respectively; the driving block 10 corresponds to the third slot of the T-slot, and the driving block 10 is constructed so that when it is inserted into the T-slot from the third slot, it can squeeze the two anchor components to move toward the outside of the mounting block 14, so that the anchor components are anchored to the anchor slot 4.

[0031] Specifically, the anchoring mechanism is connected to large-scale port equipment, and the anchoring pit 3 is pre-buried in a fixed position on the dock. During anchoring, the anchoring mechanism is aligned vertically with the anchoring pit 3. The mounting block 14 is inserted into the anchoring pit 3 and, through the anchoring assembly, abuts against the inner wall of the anchoring groove 4 to achieve an anchor connection. The T-slot on the mounting block 14 has a first and a second symmetrically connected notch on its left and right sides. Two anchor assemblies are mounted in the T-slot, corresponding to the first and second notches, respectively. The upper surface of the T-slot has a third notch corresponding to the driver block 10. When the driver block 10 is inserted into the T-slot through the third notch, it squeezes the two anchor assemblies, causing them to protrude from the first and second notches of the mounting block 14, respectively, so that the anchor assemblies abut against the inner wall of the anchoring groove 4, achieving anchoring.

[0032] In general, the automatic anchoring device for large-scale port equipment of the present invention can cause the anchor assembly to protrude from the mounting block 14 and be anchored in the anchor groove 4 by means of the driving block 10 squeezing the anchor assembly. Thus, after the mounting block 14 is inserted into the anchor groove 4, the automatic anchoring device can automatically drive the anchor assembly to press against the inner wall of the anchor groove 4 under the squeezing action of the driving block 10, thereby achieving automatic anchoring of the large-scale port equipment. This eliminates the need for a motor to separately drive the anchor block 11 of the anchor assembly to press against the inner wall of the anchor groove 4, thereby significantly reducing the cost of the device and subsequent maintenance costs.

[0033] Furthermore, an inner groove is formed on the inner wall of the anchoring groove 4 corresponding to the anchoring assembly. Thus, the anchoring groove 4 has a groove-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and bottom and wide in the middle. When anchoring, the anchoring assembly is inserted into the inner groove and pressed tightly against it. The anchoring assembly and the inner groove form a limit, so that the mounting block 14 cannot be directly pulled out of the anchoring groove 4, thereby effectively improving the stability of the anchoring and thus improving the safety of large-scale port equipment.

[0034] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving block 10 has an isosceles trapezoidal structure, and the anchoring assembly includes an anchoring block 11 and a trapezoidal block 15 that are fixedly connected. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 15 corresponds to and matches the inclined surface of the driving block 10 .

[0035] Specifically, the driver block 10 is an inverted isosceles trapezoidal structure corresponding to the third notch, and the anchor block 11 is arranged outside the trapezoidal block 15, corresponding to the first or second notch. The inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 15 corresponds to the inclined surface of the driver block 10. As the driver block 10 moves downward and inserts into the T-slot, the inclined surface of the driver block 10 slides against the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 15, creating a squeeze that causes the trapezoidal block 15 to horizontally drive the anchor block 11 outward. This, in turn, causes the anchor block 11 to protrude beyond the outer side of the mounting block 14 and abut against the inner wall of the anchor groove 4, achieving anchoring.

[0036] Furthermore, the bevel angle of the driving block 10 and the bevel angle of the trapezoidal block 15 are complementary to each other, so that when the driving block 10 presses the trapezoidal block 15 , the bevels of the driving block 10 fit in with each other.

[0037] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a vertical plate 16 is provided in the middle of the T-slot in the mounting block 14 , and both sides of the vertical plate 16 are connected to the trapezoidal block 15 via a reset elastic member 17 .

[0038] Specifically, vertical plate 16 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the T-slot of mounting block 14, with two anchoring assemblies connected to opposite sides of vertical plate 16. A return spring 17 is connected between vertical plate 16 and trapezoidal block 15. During the anchoring operation, the driver block 10 presses the trapezoidal block 15 downward, driving the anchor block 11 toward the outside of the mounting block 14. This stretches and deforms the return spring 17. After the anchoring operation is complete, the driver block 10 moves upward, and the trapezoidal block 15 and anchor block 11 are able to move into the mounting block 14 under the deformation force generated by the return spring 17, thereby releasing the anchoring. Return spring 17 can optionally be a spring.

[0039] In one example, the size of the anchor block 11 matches the size of the first notch or the second notch of the T-slot, and the size of the trapezoidal block 15 is larger than the size of the anchor block 11 .

[0040] Specifically, the size of the anchor block 11 matches the size of the first or second notch of the T-slot, that is, the size of the anchor block 11 is equal to or slightly smaller than the size of the first or second notch of the T-slot, so that the anchor block 11 can be installed in the T-slot and can extend into or out of the T-slot to achieve anchoring or unanchoring with the anchor slot 4. The size of the trapezoidal block 15 is larger than the size of the anchor block 11, that is, the size of the trapezoidal block 15 is larger than the size of the first or second notch of the T-slot, so that the trapezoidal block 15 cannot extend from the first or second notch. The trapezoidal block 15 can limit the length of the anchor block 11 extending from the mounting block 14 and can also prevent the reset elastic member 17 from being stretched too long and failing.

[0041] In one example, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the anchoring mechanism also includes a shell 1, and the shell 1 is provided with an opening for the driving block 10 to enter and exit corresponding to the mounting block 14. A sliding plate 8 is slidably connected in the shell 1, and the sliding plate 8 is connected to the driving block 10 through a first connecting column 9.

[0042] Specifically, an opening is provided at the bottom of the shell 1, and a horizontal sliding plate 8 is provided inside. The bottom of the sliding plate 8 is fixedly connected to the driving block 10 through a first connecting column 9. The sliding plate 8 can slide vertically in the shell 1, so that the sliding plate 8 can drive the driving block 10 to move in the vertical direction through the first connecting column 9, so that the driving block 10 can extend into or out of the T-slot of the mounting block 14.

[0043] It should be noted that there may be multiple first connecting pillars 9 , and the multiple first connecting pillars 9 are evenly distributed in a symmetrical structure. The example shown in the figure is two.

[0044] In one example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the anchoring mechanism further includes a drive motor 7, which is disposed at one end of the housing 1 away from the opening. The output end of the drive motor 7 is connected to a threaded rod 6, and a threaded hole matching the threaded rod 6 is provided on the sliding plate 8.

[0045] Specifically, the drive motor 7 is mounted on the top of the housing 1, with its output end fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded rod 6. The threaded rod 6 extends through the top of the housing 1, and the threads on the outer surface of the threaded rod 6 mate with the threaded holes on the sliding plate 8. In this way, the drive motor 7 drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate forward or reverse, allowing the sliding plate 8 to slide vertically under the action of the threaded holes and the threads of the threaded rod 6, thereby driving the drive block 10 in the vertical direction.

[0046] In one example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a support plate 5 is fixedly provided in the housing 1 and is rotatably mounted on the end of the threaded rod 6 away from the drive motor 7. Specifically, the support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the threaded rod 6 to ensure the stability of the threaded rod 6 in rotating about its own central axis, while limiting the downward travel of the sliding plate 8 to prevent the sliding plate 8 from falling off the threaded rod 6.

[0047] In one example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a mounting bracket 2 is provided on one side of the housing 1, located on the drive motor 7. Mounting bracket 2 is used to connect to large port equipment. Specifically, mounting bracket 2 covers the drive motor 7, and the top of mounting bracket 2 has multiple connection holes. This facilitates connection to large port equipment while also providing a certain degree of protection for the drive motor 7.

[0048] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the anchoring mechanism also includes a pull plate 13 and a second connecting column 12 that slides through the housing 1. The pull plate 13 is located at the end of the sliding plate 8 away from the driving block 10. One end of the second connecting column 12 extends into the housing 1 and connects to the pull plate 13, while the other end extends outside the housing 1 and connects to the mounting block 14. Furthermore, the sliding plate 8 is provided with a through hole, through which the sliding plate 8 is sleeved onto the second connecting column 12.

[0049] Specifically, the second connecting post 12 is slidably disposed through the bottom of the housing 1. Its upper end extends into the housing 1 and connects to the pull plate 13, while its lower end extends outside the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the mounting block 14. The upper portion of the second connecting post 12 extends through the sliding plate 8. The sliding plate 8 is able to limit the downward movement of the mounting block 14 through the pull plate 13. When the sliding plate 8 moves upward, it can drive the pull plate 13 to pull the mounting block 14 upward to release the anchor. The second connecting post 12 provides a certain degree of guidance for the vertical movement of the sliding plate 8.

[0050] It should be noted that there may be multiple second connecting pillars 12 , and the multiple second connecting pillars 12 are evenly distributed in a symmetrical structure. The example shown in the figure is four.

[0051] In order to better understand the above embodiment, the working process of the automatic anchoring device of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] When the large port equipment moves to the designated position along the track, the mounting block 14 is aligned with the anchor pit 3, and then the drive motor 7 is started, so that the drive motor 7 drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate in the forward direction. The forward rotation of the threaded rod 6 can drive the sliding plate 8 to move horizontally downward. The movement of the sliding plate 8 can drive the driving block 10 to move accordingly. Under the action of gravity, the mounting block 14 will also move downward synchronously. During the movement, the pull plate 13 will always be pressed against the upper surface of the sliding plate 8. When the mounting block 14 is completely moved to the inside of the anchor groove 4, the sliding plate 8 continues to move downward, which will only drive the driving block 10 to move downward. The downward movement of the driving block 10 will squeeze the two trapezoidal blocks 15 and drive the two anchor blocks 11 to move outward synchronously, thereby driving the two anchor blocks 11 to press against the inner groove of the inner wall of the anchor groove 4, thereby achieving anchoring.

[0053] Similarly, when releasing the anchoring, it is only necessary to rotate the driving motor 7 in the opposite direction to move the driving block 10 upward out of the anchoring groove 4, and the trapezoidal block 15 drives the anchoring block 11 to retract into the mounting block 14 under the action of the reset elastic member 17. After that, the sliding plate 8 contacts the pulling plate 13, and the mounting block 14 can be driven to move out of the anchoring groove 4 as a whole, and the anchoring can be released at this time.

[0054] While the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, the various technical features described in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner, provided no structural conflicts exist. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
