Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ships, in particular to an embedded lifting and turning platform for ships. Background Art

[0002] In the field of ship design and operation, the increasing complexity and diversity of ocean-going missions has significantly increased the demand for ship self-sufficiency. This is because when ships sail for long periods of time in waters far from land-based supply stations, they need to quickly and safely transfer supplies from the outside to the inside. Traditionally, this transportation relies on cranes, but cranes cannot transport supplies directly to the inside of the ship. Instead, they first place the supplies on the deck and then transfer them to the inside, resulting in inefficient supply.

[0003] In addition, since the side supply door is equipped with a very high door frame (for easy sealing), the transportation process will be particularly cumbersome, especially for heavy objects, and the transportation efficiency is relatively low.

[0004] For this purpose, we propose an embedded marine lifting and flipping platform. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technology, the applicant provides an embedded marine lifting and flipping platform, which realizes the rapid lifting and flipping of the platform through precise hinge connection and coordinated work with the drive device.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0007] An embedded marine lifting and turning platform, comprising:

[0008] The supply door is located on the side of the ship and is opened during platform operation to provide a channel for material transfer;

[0009] A load-bearing frame, which is embedded in the deck near the supply door and is provided with multiple hinge points for connection and transmission;

[0010] There are four driving rods, which are hinged to the load-bearing frame in a matrix manner;

[0011] A driving device, which is connected to the two driving rods located in the same row and drives the driving rods to rotate;

[0012] The platform is hinged on four driving rods and can be raised and lowered and extended to the outside of the supply door under the action of the driving device;

[0013] as well as;

[0014] The infrared system, including a transmitter and a receiver, forms an infrared light curtain to detect and prevent people or objects from entering the platform's motion area.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0016] The four driving rods are divided into two groups, two active rods and two driven rods.

[0017] The force bearing frame further comprises five hinge points, two front hinge points connected below the active rods, two middle hinge points connected below the driven rods, and one rear hinge point connected with the end of the driving device, which optimizes the power transmission path and improves the overall stability and carrying capacity of the platform.

[0018] The platform is provided with two front hinge points and two rear hinge points, the front hinge points are connected above the active rods, and the rear hinge points are connected above the driven rods, which makes the platform maintain a horizontal state during lifting and turning, improving the motion accuracy and stability.

[0019] The platform is flush with the deck when not driven.

[0020] The driving device is a hydraulic or electric driving device, which can accurately control the length of extension and retraction, thereby accurately controlling the lifting and turning action of the platform, ensuring the smoothness and safety of the platform during movement.

[0021] The supply door is provided with a sensor for detecting the opening state of the supply door and outputting a signal to trigger the operation program of the platform, improving the automation and safety of the platform.

[0022] The infrared system further comprises a control unit, which receives a signal and immediately stops the movement of the platform when the infrared light curtain is blocked, avoiding accidents and improving the safety of the platform.

[0023] The platform is also provided with a closed-in-place sensor for detecting whether the platform is closed in place, if the platform is not closed in place, the system will immediately stop the movement of the platform and give an alarm, ensuring the stability and safety of the platform in the closed state.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0025] The utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and is easy to operate. By working in conjunction with the drive device through precise hinge connections, the platform can be quickly lifted, lowered, and flipped. This design not only optimizes the process of material transfer, but also greatly shortens the transfer time and improves the transfer efficiency. At the same time, the platform always remains horizontal during the lifting and flipping process, ensuring the stability and safety of the materials. In addition, the platform is also equipped with an infrared protective device and a closed position sensor, which further improves the safety of the transfer process and avoids possible accidents. This efficient and stable material transfer method provides strong support and protection for the ship's ocean voyages, and meets the needs of ships for rapid and safe material transfer in complex waters.

[0033] Wherein: the force bearing frame 100, the platform 200, the driving rod 300, the driven rod 400, the driving device 500, the supply door 600, the infrared system 700. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The specific implementation of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] The technical scheme aims to design a buried marine lifting and overturning platform. The platform 200 cooperates with the driving device 500 through precise hinge point connection to realize the lifting and overturning action of the platform 200, so as to meet the demand of rapid and safe material transfer in the sea area far from the land supply station. The structure includes the force bearing frame 100, the platform 200, the driving rod, the driving device 500, the supply door 600 and the infrared system 700. The scheme optimizes the structure layout and power transmission path, improves the stability and operation efficiency of the platform 200, and ensures the smooth progress of material transfer. At the same time, the force bearing frame 100 and the deck connected by welding enhance the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0036] The force bearing frame 100 is the supporting structure of the whole platform 200, and its design is crucial. The force bearing frame 100 is provided with five hinge points, which play an important role in connection and transmission. Two front hinge points are connected with the hinge points below the driving rod 300, forming the front end support of the lifting and overturning of the platform 200; two middle hinge points are connected with the hinge points below the driven rod 400, ensuring the stability of the platform 200 during overturning; and one rear hinge point is connected with the end of the driving device 500, providing power source for the movement of the platform 200. This layout not only optimizes the power transmission path, but also improves the overall stability and carrying capacity of the platform 200.

[0037] The hinge point setting of the platform 200 is also crucial. The platform 200 is provided with two front hinge points and two rear hinge points, which are connected with the upper hinge points of the driving rod 300 and the driven rod 400, forming the lifting and overturning mechanism of the platform 200. The two front hinge points are connected with the two upper hinge points of the driving rod 300, so that the platform 200 can remain horizontal during lifting; the two rear hinge points are connected with the two upper hinge points of the driven rod 400, ensuring the stability of the platform 200 during overturning. This connection method not only improves the movement accuracy of the platform 200, but also enhances the stability and safety of the platform 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of driving rods is four, which are matrixed and hinged on the force bearing frame 100,

[0039] The driving rods in this embodiment are divided into two groups, namely two active rods 300 and two driven rods 400 .

[0040] The active rod 300 is the main component for driving the platform 200 to rise, fall and flip. There are two active rods 300. The upper end of the active rod 300 is connected to the two front hinges of the platform 200, the lower end of the active rod 300 is connected to the two front hinges of the load-bearing frame 100, and the middle part of the active rod 300 is connected to the head end of the driving device 500. This connection method enables the active rod 300 to smoothly drive the platform 200 to rise, fall and flip under the drive of the driving device 500.

[0041] The driven rod 400 acts as a follower and supports. There are two driven rods 400, each with hinge points at the upper and lower ends. The lower hinge connects to the two middle hinges of the load-bearing frame 100, and the upper hinge connects to the two rear hinges of the platform 200. This connection allows the driven rod 400 to move with the active rod 300, providing stable support for the platform 200. Furthermore, the design of the driven rod 400 optimizes the overall structural layout of the platform 200, improving its load-bearing capacity and stability.

[0042] The drive unit 500, serving as the power source for the entire platform 200, precisely controls the platform's lifting and tilting movements. During the platform's lifting and tilting, the drive unit 500 extends to drive the active rod 300, which in turn moves the driven rod 400, ultimately leading to the platform's subsequent movement. During the platform's tilting, the drive unit 500 retracts to drive the active rod 300, which in turn moves the driven rod 400, ultimately leading to the platform's tilting. This drive system not only improves the platform's 200 efficiency but also ensures stability and safety during the tilting process.

[0043] Platform 200 maintains a level position during both lifting and flipping, achieved through precise hinge connections and control by the drive unit 500. The active and passive rods 300 and 400 work together to maintain the platform 200's level position during lifting and flipping. The precise control of the drive unit 500 also ensures the platform 200 maintains a level position during flipping. This design not only improves the platform's 200's precision and stability, but also ensures the safety and reliability of materials during transfer.

[0044] When the embedded marine lifting and tilting platform is closed, platform 200 is flush with the deck, with a uniform gap between the edges of the platform 200 and the edges of the deck opening. This design not only creates an aesthetically pleasing aesthetic but also ensures the stability and safety of the platform 200 when closed. Since platform 200 is in contact with the load-bearing nylon sheeting of the load-bearing frame 100, the active rod 300, driven rod 400, and drive unit 500 are not subjected to pressure, thereby extending the service life of these components. Furthermore, the stability of platform 200 in the closed state ensures the safety and reliability of materials during transport.

[0045] When the ship is not in navigation, the side supply door 600 opens and outputs an opening signal. After detecting the opening signal, the embedded marine lifting and flipping platform can be operated. This design not only improves the automation level of the platform 200, but also ensures the safety and reliability of the platform 200 during operation. The drive device 500 extends to drive the active rod 300 to move, and the driven rod 400 follows, and the platform 200 moves accordingly. During the flipping process of the platform 200, it always maintains a horizontal state, first rising and then falling in height. This mode of movement not only improves the movement efficiency of the platform 200, but also ensures the stability and safety of materials during transportation.

[0046] The movement of the embedded marine lifting and tilting platform from the outboard to the interior is a complex and delicate process. First, the side supply door 600 opens, signaling the start of the entire movement. This opening not only provides clearance for the platform 200's movement but also ensures smooth material transfer. Simultaneously, the output signal from the supply door 600 triggers the platform 200's operating program, enabling the platform 200 to begin its movement.

[0047] After receiving the opening signal from the side supply door 600, the submerged marine lifting and tilting platform begins to operate. The drive unit 500 extends first, driving the active rod 300 to begin movement. The extension of the drive unit 500 provides the power source for the lifting and tilting of the platform 200, while the movement of the active rod 300 drives the entire platform 200. During this process, the stability and accuracy of the drive unit 500 are crucial, directly determining the smoothness and safety of the platform 200's movement.

[0048] As the active rod 300 moves, the driven rod 400 also begins to follow. This follow-up movement of the driven rod 400 not only provides stable support for the platform 200 but also ensures stability during the lifting and flipping processes. The synergistic effect of the driven rod 400 and the active rod 300 enables the platform 200 to smoothly complete the lifting and flipping movements.

[0049] During the lifting and lowering process, platform 200 always remains horizontal. This is achieved through precise hinge connections and control of drive device 500. Maintaining a horizontal position during the lifting and lowering process not only improves the efficiency and safety of material transfer, but also ensures the stability of platform 200 during movement.

[0050] When platform 200 needs to flip, the drive mechanism 500 retracts, driving the active rod 300 to flip. During this process, the driven rod 400 also moves, ensuring the stability of platform 200 during the flip. The platform 200 first rises and then descends during flipping. This design not only improves the platform's flipping efficiency but also ensures the safety of materials during the flipping process.

[0051] The embedded marine lifting and flipping platform is equipped with three sets of infrared protection devices on three sides. Each set of protection devices consists of a transmitting end and a receiving end. An infrared light curtain is formed between the transmitting end and the receiving end. The infrared light curtain consists of multiple grids, which can be parallel or cross-shaped.

[0052] The platform 200 is provided with a closed position sensor. When the platform 200 is running, the sensor is in place and fails. At this time, if someone passes through the infrared grille light curtain, the system will receive a signal and the platform 200 will stop running.

[0053] When the platform 200 is in the closed state, the system detects a platform 200 closing signal, and the infrared light curtain does not play a protective role.

[0054] The infrared protection device plays a crucial role throughout the movement of platform 200. It consists of a transmitter and a receiver, forming an infrared light curtain between them. When a person or object passes through the infrared light curtain, the system receives a signal and immediately stops the movement of platform 200, thus preventing any potential accidents. This design not only improves the safety of platform 200 but also ensures the reliability of materials during transportation.

[0055] Platform 200 is also equipped with a fully closed position sensor. When platform 200 reaches the closed position, the sensor sends a signal to confirm that platform 200 has fully closed. If the sensor fails, meaning platform 200 has not fully closed, the system immediately stops platform 200 and issues an alarm. This design not only improves the automation level of platform 200 but also ensures stability and safety when closed.

[0056] When platform 200 is closed, the infrared light curtain ceases to provide protection. This is because when platform 200 is closed, it is flush with the deck, and there is a uniform gap between the edges of platform 200 and the edges of the deck opening. This design ensures the stability and safety of platform 200 when closed. Therefore, when platform 200 is closed, the infrared light curtain is deactivated, saving energy and preventing possible false alarms.

[0057] The motion of the embedded marine lifting and flipping platform is not only complex and sophisticated, but also fully considers various safety and efficiency factors. By optimizing the structural layout and power transmission path, the stability and operating efficiency of the platform 200 are improved. Precision hinge connections and control of the drive unit 500 ensure the stability and safety of the platform 200 during the lifting and flipping process. The installation of infrared protection devices and closed-position sensors enhances the automation and safety of the platform 200. These design features together form an efficient, stable, and safe embedded marine lifting and flipping platform.

[0058] In summary, the design and application of the embedded marine lifting and flipping platform not only improves the efficiency and safety of material transfer but also optimizes the ship's structural layout and operational processes. Through customized design and environmental and energy-saving considerations, Platform 200 provides strong support and assurance for ships' ocean-going voyages. Furthermore, with the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of its applications, the embedded marine lifting and flipping platform will play an even more important role in ship design and operation.

[0059] The above description is an explanation of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Any form of modification can be made within the scope of protection of the utility model.
