Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship masts, and in particular to a novel cable-concealed radar and signal light combination mast. Background Technology
[0002] Luxury cruise ships, as the ultimate experience of sea travel, attract tourists from all over the world with their unparalleled luxury and unique charm. Their exterior designs pursue novelty, unique refinement, personalization, and artistry. The mast, as the topmost structure of a cruise ship, is usually the visual focal point. Therefore, the aesthetics of the mast occupy an important position in the overall design of the cruise ship; it is not only part of the ship's appearance but also a reflection of its character. Cruise ship design must fully consider the aesthetics of the mast and its harmony with the overall appearance of the ship. Traditional mast designs generally only meet the functional requirements of signal lights and radar antennas, resulting in complex structures, cluttered appearances, and a lack of overall aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, the cables for signal lights and radar antennas on the crossbars typically run outside the mast, increasing the complexity and visual clutter of the mast's surface. Therefore, traditional mast designs are very inconsistent with the overall appearance of the cruise ship.
[0003] Patent application CN112356977A discloses a marine radar mast that meets multiple navigation functions, including a radar mast body and an equipment platform. The equipment platform is provided on the outer surface of the radar mast body, and a straight ladder, compressed air pipe and safety railing are provided on the outer surface of the main steel pipe. Steel wire rope diagonal braces are connected to both sides of the main steel pipe.
[0004] The existing mast has a complex structure, a messy appearance, no overall shape, poor aesthetics, and is very inconsistent with the overall appearance of the cruise ship.

[0015] By adopting the above structure, the intermediate platform perfectly integrates the radar antenna platform, signal light crossbar, and channel structure into an aircraft-shaped platform, making the overall appearance of the mast simple, smooth, and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0016] Preferably, the bottom platform is an aircraft-shaped platform, which is connected and fixed to the inclined column in the middle. An X-band radar is arranged at the head of the platform, and the two wings of the platform extend towards the tail of the inclined column. Signal lights are arranged at the tail ends of both sides.
[0017] Preferably, pre-embedded conduits are installed inside both wings of the bottom platform for laying cables for the signal lights on both sides.
[0018] By adopting the above structure, the bottom platform perfectly integrates the radar antenna platform, signal light crossbar, and channel structure into an aircraft-shaped platform, making the overall appearance of the mast simple, smooth, and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a novel cable-concealed radar and signal light combined mast includes an inclined column 1 and an upper platform 2, a middle platform 3, and a bottom platform 4 fixed to the inclined column 1. The inclined column 1 is fixed to the deck 10. The inclined column 1 is an inclined column with an unreinforced plate frame structure. The cross-sectional shape of the column is rectangular with a rounded front end. The column gradually tapers from bottom to top and is inclined towards the stern of the ship. A signal light 6 is placed on the top of the column. The inclined column 1 has a pre-embedded conduit 5 for laying the cable of the signal light 6. The device, through the perfect combination of the various platforms and the inclined column 1, forms a unique and novel shape, which is more compatible with the simple, modern, and technological style of the cruise ship.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper platform 2, middle platform 3, and bottom platform 4 are installed sequentially from top to bottom on the inclined column 1. The upper platform 2 is a rectangular plate-type platform, which is connected and fixed to the inclined column 1 in the middle. It is located at the upper end of the inclined column 1 and is rectangular in shape. Signal lights 6 are arranged on both sides. The upper platform 2 is provided with attachment points 11 at both ends, and signal balls 7 are suspended at the bottom of the attachment points 11.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the intermediate platform 3 is an aircraft-shaped platform, which is connected and fixed to the inclined column 1 in the middle. It is located in the middle part of the inclined column 1. The head of the platform is equipped with an S-band radar 9, and signal lights 6 are installed on the outside of the S-band radar 9. The wings on both sides of the platform extend to the tail of the inclined column 1, and signal lights 6 are arranged at the tail ends on both sides.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom platform 4 is an aircraft-shaped platform, which is connected and fixed to the inclined column 1 in the middle and located at the lower end of the inclined column 1. An X-band radar 8 is arranged at the head of the platform, and the two wings of the platform extend towards the tail of the inclined column 1. Signal lights 6 are arranged at the tail ends of both sides.
[0033] This device is equipped with a pre-embedded conduit 5, which is installed inside the upper platform 1, the middle platform 2, the bottom platform 3, and the inclined column 1. There are exits near the signal lights 6, S-band radar 8, X-band radar 9, etc. By reserving a steel wire rope in the pre-embedded conduit, the cable is pulled through the pre-embedded conduit 5 to the inside of the mast, thereby achieving the purpose of concealing the wiring.
