[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings of this utility model, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions towards or away from a specific component, respectively. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means two or more.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a marine storm cover provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A magnified view of part A. Figure 3 This diagram shows a front view of a marine storm cover provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the marine storm cover includes a cover plate 1, which is detachably fitted onto a hull window seat 4 via multiple quick-release clamping components 2, all of which are mounted on the hull steel bulkhead 3. The cover plate 1 has a mounting groove 101 around its perimeter on the fitting side, and the mounting groove 101 is sealed to the hull window seat 4 via a sealing member 102.

[0028] In this embodiment, the marine storm cover is designed to provide a solution that allows for quick installation and removal while ensuring watertightness, thus protecting the vessel's safety in adverse weather conditions. Specifically, the cover 1 is detachably secured to the hull window seat 4 by multiple quick-release clamping components 2, which are mounted on the hull's steel bulkhead 3. This design allows the crew to quickly install or remove the storm cover in an emergency without using complex tools or procedures.

[0029] Of particular note is the mounting groove 101 along the edge of the cover plate 1, within which a seal 102 is embedded, achieving a tight, sealed connection with the hull window seat 4. The seal 102 ensures that water will not seep into the cabin, even in extremely rough seas, maintaining the cabin's dryness and safety. This sealing design is especially important for portholes, which are typically located in the lower part of the hull and are more susceptible to wave impact. In summary, this design not only improves the speed of storm cover installation and removal but also guarantees excellent watertight performance, providing reliable protection for the vessel.

[0030] In one example, seal 102 is a sealing strip. In another example, seal 102 is an O-ring.

[0031] To facilitate tightening or loosening, the clamping bolt 202 is designed as a wing bolt.

[0032] In some embodiments, there are four quick-release clamping components 2, located around the perimeter of the cover plate 1. Preferably, the four quick-release clamping components 2 are evenly spaced.

[0033] It is understandable that the shape of the cover plate 1 is adapted to the hull window seat 4 so that the cover plate 1 can be sealed and covered on the hull window seat 4.

[0034] Specifically, the quick-release clamping assembly 2 includes a bolt seat 201 installed on the steel bulkhead 3 of the ship hull, a clamping bolt 202 threadedly connected to the bolt seat 201, and a clamping plate 203 movably sleeved on the clamping bolt 202; wherein, when the clamping bolt 202 is tightened, the clamping plate 203 clamps the cover plate 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the quick-release clamping assembly 2 is designed to achieve a quick and reliable connection between the cover plate 1 and the hull window seat 4, while ensuring good watertightness. Furthermore, the quick-release clamping assembly 2 not only provides mechanical fixation but also enhances the sealing effect through the clamping plate 203. When the clamping bolt 202 is fully tightened, the clamping plate 203 generates a uniform pressure distribution on the seal 102 at the edge of the cover plate 1, thereby ensuring effective deformation of the seal 102 and further strengthening the watertight performance. This is crucial in ship design because good watertightness effectively protects the interior of the hull from the influence of the external environment, especially under stormy weather conditions, which is essential for ensuring the safety of personnel on board.

[0036] Next, the working principle of a marine storm cover involved in the embodiments of this utility model will be explained.

[0037] When it is necessary to secure the cover plate 1, the operator only needs to tighten the clamping bolt 202. As the bolt rotates, it moves downward along the thread inside the bolt seat 201, thereby pushing the clamping plate 203 to apply pressure to the cover plate 1. This design allows the clamping plate 203 to firmly press the cover plate 1 onto the hull window seat 4, ensuring a tight fit between the two and preventing seawater from seeping in. At the same time, due to the use of a threaded connection, the installation and removal of the cover plate 1 can be easily completed without the use of tools, greatly improving operational efficiency, especially in emergency situations or scenarios requiring frequent opening and closing.

[0038] In summary, this application provides a new generation of storm cover that is detachably fitted onto the hull window seat by installing multiple quick-release clamping components on the ship's steel bulkhead. The cover plate has a mounting groove around its perimeter on the fitting side, which is sealed to the hull window seat via a sealing element. This provides a rapid-response, easy-to-operate storm cover that does not compromise existing protective performance. This improvement not only enhances the overall safety of the vessel but also strengthens its ability to cope with various complex maritime situations, providing a more reliable working environment for the crew.

[0039] In the embodiments disclosed in this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
