DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0043] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0044] An embodiment of the present application discloses a positioning dock system.
[0045] Reference Figure 1-4 A positioning dock system includes a float 1, a hull 2, and a positioning assembly 3. A placement cavity 11 is provided on the float 1, and a charging seat 12 is installed on the bottom wall of the placement cavity 11. The hull 2 is located in the placement cavity 11, and a charging port 21 is installed at the stern of the hull 2. The charging port 21 is arranged corresponding to the charging seat 12, and positioning holes 22 are provided on both sides of the bow of the hull 2. The positioning assembly 3 includes a fixed seat 31, a driving member 32, and a telescopic rod 33. The fixed seat 31 is fixedly connected to the float 1, and the fixed seat 31 is installed on both sides of the hull 2. The driving member 32 and the telescopic rod 33 are both installed in the fixed seat 31. The driving member 32 drives the telescopic rod 33 toward the placement cavity 11 so that the telescopic rod 33 passes through the positioning hole 22. By utilizing the cooperation of the positioning hole 22, the fixing seat 31, the driving member 32 and the telescopic rod 33, when the hull 2 needs to be docked, the telescopic rod 33 is directly used to penetrate the positioning hole 22 to lock the hull 2, which greatly facilitates the docking of the unmanned boat.
[0046] Guardrails 13 are fixedly connected to the edges of two sides of the buoy 1. The guardrails 13 provide protection for operators standing on the buoy 1 to operate the buoy 1 or the hull 2, making the operators feel safer.
[0047] Since the interior of the floating block 1 is hollow, the hollow inside the floating block 1 will expand when heated, and the hollow inside the floating block 1 will shrink when cooled, resulting in inconsistent draft depths of the floating block 1 when expanded and when contracted, making it difficult to align the charging port 21 at the rear of the hull 2 with the charging seat 12. Therefore, a number of air vents 14 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the floating block 1. The air vents 14 are used to balance the pressure between the floating block 1 and the atmosphere to prevent the floating block 1 from deforming due to cooling or heating.
[0048] At the same time, a rain cover 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the air vent tube 14 , and the rain cover 15 is used to cover the top of the air vent tube 14 to prevent rainwater from entering the floating block 1 from the top of the air vent tube 14 .
[0049] A guiding slope 4 is provided on the floating block 1, and the guiding slope 4 is located at the opening of the placement cavity 11, so that the opening of the placement cavity 11 is opened to both sides, and the distance between the floating block 1 and the opening of the placement cavity 11 is larger. The setting of the guiding slope 4 makes it easier for the hull 2 to enter the placement cavity 11 of the floating block 1 after contacting the guiding slope 4.
[0050] Guide grooves 5 are provided on the adjacent inner walls of the placement chamber 11, and limit members 6 are installed on both sides of the hull 2. When the hull 2 enters the placement chamber 11, the limit members 6 are inserted into the guide grooves 5. By inserting the limit members 6 into the guide grooves 5, the floating block 1 and the hull 2 can float up and down as a whole, thereby making the charging base 12 and the charging port 21 more stable for charging the hull 2.
[0051] The limiting member 6 in this embodiment includes a limiting seat 61 and a limiting wheel 62. In other embodiments, the limiting member 6 may also be a limiting block. The limiting seat 61 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the hull 2, and the limiting wheel 62 is rotatably connected to the limiting seat 61. The limiting wheel 62 abuts the inside of the guide groove 5. Due to the cooperation between the limiting seat 61 and the limiting wheel 62, the hull 2 can move smoothly when the limiting wheel 62 abuts the inside of the guide groove 5.
[0052] At the same time, the limiting wheel 62 in this embodiment is made of elastic material, such as rubber. When the limiting wheel 62 abuts against the guide groove 5, the limiting wheel 62 made of elastic material can also cushion the hull 2, thereby reducing the impact on the hull 2 when docking.
[0053] The guide groove 5 extends to the guide slope 4, and the width of the guide groove 5 on the guide slope 4 increases continuously from the opening away from the guide groove 5 to the opening close to the guide groove 5. The guide groove 5 on the guide slope 4 allows the limiter 6 to enter the guide groove 5 more smoothly.
[0054] At the same time, the opening of the placement cavity 11 gradually increases from the bottom of the placement cavity 11 to the opening of the placement cavity 11. The limiting seat 61 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the hull 2. When the stern of the hull 2 approaches the bottom of the placement groove, the limiting wheel 62 abuts against the bottom wall of the guide groove 5. By abutting the limiting wheel 62 against the bottom wall of the guide groove 5, the hull 2 is more stably parked in the placement cavity 11.
[0055] The charging base 12 is provided with a magnetic block 16, and a magnetic block 23 corresponding to the magnetic block 16 is installed at the stern of the hull 2. The cooperation between the magnetic block 16 and the magnetic block 23 allows the hull 2 to dock in the placement cavity 11, fixing the stern to the floating block 1, and thus the charging base 12 can cooperate with the charging port 21 more stably to charge the hull 2.
[0056] At the same time, the cooperation of the magnetic block 16 and the magnetic block 23 fixes the stern of the hull 2 to the floating block 1, the limiting wheel 62 fixes the hull of the hull 2 to the floating block 1, and the positioning component 3 fixes the stern of the hull 2 to the floating block 1, so that the hull 2 is more stable when located in the placement cavity 11.
[0057] In this embodiment, the driving member 32 is a pneumatic cylinder that drives the telescopic rod 33 to extend and retract, thereby inserting the telescopic rod 33 into the positioning hole 22. The positioning hole 22 is tapered, and the cross-sectional area of the positioning hole 22 near the telescopic rod 33 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the end away from the telescopic rod 33. The tapered positioning hole 22 facilitates the insertion of the telescopic rod 33. Furthermore, when the telescopic rod 33 abuts the tapered sidewall of the positioning hole 22, it compresses the tapered sidewall of the positioning hole 22, correcting the position of the hull 2 and ensuring more stable contact between the charging base 12 and the charging port 21.
[0058] The implementation principle of a positioning dock system in an embodiment of the present application is: when the hull 2 needs to dock, the stern of the hull 2 gradually moves into the placement cavity 11 of the floating block 1, and the limiting wheel 62 is clamped in the guide groove 5. When the charging port 21 at the stern abuts against the charging seat 12, the limiting wheels 62 on both sides of the hull 2 respectively abut against the bottom wall of the guide groove 5, so that the hull 2 can be straightened and the charging seat 12 can stably charge the hull 2.
[0059] At this time, the bow of the hull 2 is located on one side of the fixing seat 31, and the driving member 32 drives the telescopic rod 33 to move toward the positioning hole 22 on the hull 2, so that the telescopic rod 33 is inserted into the positioning hole 22, so that the positioning component 3 fixes the hull 2 in the placement cavity 11 of the floating block 1, and at the same time uses the positioning component 3 to fix the bow of the hull 2 to the opening of the placement cavity 11, thereby preventing the hull 2 from shaking in the placement cavity 11 due to the impact of the water flow at the opening of the placement cavity 11, so that the hull 2 is locked in the floating block 1 more stably.
[0060] When the hull 2 needs to dock, the stern of the hull 2 is fixed to the floating block 1 through the cooperation of the magnetic block 16 and the magnetic block 23, the limiting wheel 62 fixes the hull of the hull 2 to the floating block 1, and the positioning component 3 fixes the stern of the hull 2 to the floating block 1, so that the hull 2 is more stable when located in the placement cavity 11, which greatly facilitates the docking of the unmanned boat.
[0061] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
