Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipping, specifically a ship cable towing and mooring device. Background Technology

[0002] Ship berthing operations are a crucial part of maritime shipping, especially for large vessels, where mooring operations require a high degree of precision and strictness. Traditional ship mooring operations typically rely on manual labor, requiring mooring personnel to manually drag the mooring lines to secure them to the mooring bollards at the dock, ensuring a stable connection between the vessel and the pier. However, this process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also poses significant safety hazards. Due to the considerable distance between the vessel and the pier, the dragging and securing of the mooring lines requires the collaboration of multiple mooring personnel, making the operation complex and susceptible to external environmental factors such as weather and tides, increasing the difficulty and risk of the operation. Especially in harsh maritime environments, manual operation is more prone to errors, causing the mooring lines to deviate from their intended path, become knotted, or entangled, thus affecting operational efficiency and even causing damage to the vessel and pier facilities.

[0003] Furthermore, existing ship mooring equipment typically relies on mechanical devices to deploy and secure mooring lines, but these devices still have many shortcomings in terms of precision and automation. Many traditional devices require manual adjustment, making precise control of the mooring lines impossible, especially when rapid deployment and precise positioning are needed. The response speed and control accuracy of traditional equipment remain insufficient. Particularly during ship berthing, the anchoring and release of mooring lines require extremely high precision, a process that existing equipment often cannot complete efficiently and stably, leading to instability and uncertainty in the mooring process and increasing the risk of damage to ships and dock facilities. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model proposes a ship cable towing and mooring device, which can effectively reduce labor intensity and operational errors by reducing reliance on manual operation, and significantly improve the efficiency and safety of mooring operations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A ship cable towing and mooring device includes a baffle and a cable winding device, a rope arranger, and a traction rope locking and releasing mechanism disposed on the baffle. The cable winding device includes a hydraulic motor and a traction rope drum. The hydraulic motor is connected to the traction rope drum via a coupling and drives the traction rope drum to rotate for winding and releasing the cable. The traction rope locking and releasing mechanism is disposed on one side of the traction rope drum and is used for anchoring and releasing the traction rope. The rope arranger is installed on the baffle and located on one side of the traction rope drum and is used to guide the cable along a predetermined path.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a rope arranger counterweight, which is disposed at the lower part of the baffle and located on one side of the rope arranger.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes an adjustment plate, which is disposed on the upper part of the baffle. The adjustment plate is rotated relative to the baffle by an adjustment mechanism to change the cable traction angle.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a robotic arm, an adjustment plate, a first robotic arm hydraulic push rod, and a second robotic arm hydraulic push rod; the first robotic arm hydraulic push rod is disposed on the upper part of the adjustment plate, the second robotic arm hydraulic push rod is disposed on the lower part of the baffle, and there are two robotic arms, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the adjustment plate and connected to the first robotic arm hydraulic push rod and the second robotic arm hydraulic push rod.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a robotic arm and a pneumatic actuator, both of which are located at the lower part of the robotic arm, and the pneumatic actuator is used to control the opening and closing of the robotic arm.

[0011] Preferably, the system further includes a hydraulic system, which includes a variable displacement pump and an electromagnetic relief valve; the variable displacement pump is connected to the hydraulic motor, the first hydraulic push rod of the robotic arm and the second hydraulic push rod of the robotic arm respectively, and the electromagnetic relief valve is connected to the variable displacement pump to regulate the pressure of the hydraulic oil flowing through the variable displacement pump.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a monitoring system, which includes a first monitoring camera and a second monitoring camera; the first monitoring camera and the second monitoring camera are respectively installed on the baffle.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The ship mooring and towing device provided by this utility model has significant technical advantages, which can greatly improve the efficiency, stability, and safety of ship berthing operations. First, by using the linkage design of the hydraulic motor and the traction rope drum, the device can precisely control the speed and direction of the mooring and towing of the cable, greatly improving the degree of towing and avoiding the problems of unstable precision and difficult operation in traditional manual operation. The cooperation between the hydraulic motor and the traction rope drum makes the winding and unwinding of the cable more flexible and faster, while reducing the dependence on manual force and effectively reducing the labor intensity during ship mooring operations.

[0014] Secondly, the towline locking and releasing mechanism ensures precise fixation and release of the mooring line during anchoring and release. This mechanism makes mooring line connection and disconnection more reliable, not only avoiding the risk of line slippage or breakage due to operational errors in traditional mooring methods, but also improving the stability of the vessel during berthing. This precise towline management reduces safety hazards caused by improper mooring and lowers the risk of damage to the vessel and dock facilities.

[0015] The rope guide design enables the cable to move stably along a predetermined path, preventing deviation, knotting, or tangling during deployment and retraction, thus further improving the system's stability and reliability. The rope guide not only ensures smooth cable entry into the traction rope drum but also adjusts the cable's trajectory in complex operating environments, ensuring efficient system operation.

[0016] In summary, this device significantly improves the automation level and operational precision of ship mooring, achieving an efficient, safe, and stable operating method. It not only reduces reliance on manual operation and lowers labor intensity but also effectively avoids human error in traditional mooring operations, significantly improving overall work efficiency and reducing potential safety risks during operations, thus demonstrating broad application prospects.

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.

[0022] refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses a ship cable towing and mooring device, including a baffle 16 and a cable winding device, a rope arranger 6, and a traction rope locking and releasing mechanism 7 disposed on the baffle 16. The cable winding device includes a hydraulic motor 1 and a traction rope drum 2. The hydraulic motor 1 is connected to the traction rope drum 2 through a coupling and drives the traction rope drum 2 to rotate for winding and releasing the cable. The traction rope locking and releasing mechanism 7 is disposed on one side of the traction rope drum 2 and is used for anchoring and releasing the traction rope. The rope arranger 6 is installed on the baffle 16 and located on one side of the traction rope drum 2 and is used to guide the cable to move along a predetermined path. In use, firstly, the baffle 16 serves as a support platform for the equipment, and fixes and installs various key components, including the cable winding device, the rope arranger 6, and the traction rope locking and releasing mechanism 7, to ensure the stability and reliability of the components. The hydraulic motor 1 is connected to the traction rope drum 2 through a coupling and drives the traction rope drum 2 to rotate for winding and releasing the cable. By adjusting the operating status of the hydraulic motor 1, the user can precisely control the rotation speed and direction of the traction rope drum 2, thereby achieving automatic winding and unwinding of the cable. The traction rope locking and releasing mechanism 7 is located on one side of the traction rope drum 2 and is mainly used for anchoring and releasing the traction rope; that is, fixing the traction rope when needed and releasing it at the appropriate time to ensure smooth connection and disconnection of the cable. The rope guide 6 is installed on the baffle 16, located on one side of the traction rope drum 2. Its function is to guide the cable along a predetermined path, preventing the cable from deviating or tangling, and ensuring that the cable smoothly enters the traction rope drum 2. In actual use, the rope guide 6 helps adjust and control the movement trajectory of the cable, ensuring smooth operation of the traction rope. Through the coordinated work of these components, the equipment can efficiently and automatically complete the towing and mooring operations of ship cables, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency.

[0023] It also includes a rope guide counterweight 13, which is located at the lower part of the baffle 16 and on one side of the rope guide 6. The rope guide counterweight 13 is positioned at the lower part of the baffle 16 and on one side of the rope guide 6. Its function is to provide necessary weight support for the rope guide 6, ensuring that the rope guide 6 can stably guide the cable to move smoothly along a predetermined path. In actual use, the rope guide counterweight 13 uses its own weight to apply auxiliary pressure to the rope guide 6, allowing the cable to flow more smoothly when passing through the rope guide 6, preventing the cable from getting stuck due to excessive resistance. The installation position of the rope guide counterweight 13 ensures that it will not be disturbed when the rope guide 6 is working and plays a crucial stabilizing role in the operation of the equipment.

[0024] The system also includes an adjustment plate 8, which is disposed on the upper part of the baffle 16. The adjustment plate 8 rotates relative to the baffle 16 via an adjustment mechanism to change the cable traction angle. The adjustment mechanism includes a robotic arm 3, an adjustment plate 8, a first robotic arm hydraulic push rod 9, and a second robotic arm hydraulic push rod 11. The first robotic arm hydraulic push rod 9 is disposed on the upper part of the adjustment plate 8, and the second robotic arm hydraulic push rod 11 is disposed on the lower part of the baffle 16. Two robotic arms 3 are provided, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the adjustment plate 8 and connected to the first robotic arm hydraulic push rod 9 and the second robotic arm hydraulic push rod 11. The adjustment plate 8 is disposed on the upper part of the baffle 16 and connected to the baffle 16 via the adjustment mechanism, and can rotate relative to the baffle 16 to change the cable traction angle. During operation, the adjustment mechanism consists of a robotic arm hydraulic push rod 9 mounted on the upper part of the adjustment plate 8 and a robotic arm hydraulic push rod 11 mounted on the lower part of the baffle 16. Through the coordinated action of these two hydraulic push rods, the adjustment plate 8 can be precisely adjusted in angle. In specific operation, the robotic arm hydraulic push rods 9 and 11 are driven by a hydraulic system to rotate the adjustment plate 8 around its axis, thereby adjusting the cable traction angle to adapt to the needs of different vessels and operating environments. The coordinated movement of the two robotic arms ensures that the adjustment plate 8 rotates smoothly and evenly, avoiding operational instability caused by uneven angle adjustment. This ensures precise control of the cable traction angle during operation, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of mooring operations.

[0025] The system also includes a robotic arm 5 and a pneumatic push rod 4. Both the robotic arm 5 and the pneumatic push rod 4 are located at the lower part of the robotic arm 3, with the pneumatic push rod 4 controlling the opening and closing of the robotic arm 5. In actual use, the robotic arm 3 moves and adjusts according to the drive of the robotic arm hydraulic push rod 11 and the robotic arm hydraulic push rod 21, ensuring that the robotic arm 5 can accurately align with and operate the cable hook. The pneumatic push rod 4 is responsible for the opening and closing action of the robotic arm 5, grasping or releasing the cable by controlling the opening and closing state of the robotic arm 5. In specific use, when the robotic arm 3 moves the robotic arm 5 close to the cable hook, the pneumatic push rod 4 is activated, controlling the clamping action of the robotic arm 5 to firmly clamp the cable hook; when the cable hook needs to be released, the pneumatic push rod 4 will instruct the robotic arm 5 to release the cable hook. The cooperation between the pneumatic push rod 4 and the robotic arm 5 makes the entire cable operation process more precise, reduces manual intervention, and improves work efficiency and safety.

[0026] The hydraulic system includes a variable displacement pump 14 and an electromagnetic relief valve 15. The variable displacement pump 14 is connected to the hydraulic motor 1, the first hydraulic push rod 9 of the robotic arm, and the second hydraulic push rod 11 of the robotic arm. The electromagnetic relief valve 15 is connected to the variable displacement pump 14 to regulate the hydraulic oil pressure flowing through the variable displacement pump 14. The hydraulic motor 1 drives the traction rope drum 2 to rotate through the variable displacement pump 14, realizing the winding and unwinding of the cable. The first hydraulic push rod 9 and the second hydraulic push rod 11 of the robotic arm act on the adjustment plate 8 and the robotic arm 3, respectively, to adjust the cable traction angle and the movement position of the robotic arm through hydraulic drive. At the same time, the electromagnetic relief valve 15 is connected to the variable displacement pump 14 and is mainly used to regulate the hydraulic oil pressure flowing through the variable displacement pump 14 to ensure the stability and safety of the hydraulic system during operation. The electromagnetic relief valve 15 controls the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic oil to prevent system overload and protect the hydraulic system from damage. The coordinated operation of the variable pump 14 and the solenoid relief valve 15 enables the hydraulic system to automatically adjust the oil pressure according to actual needs, ensuring that the equipment can achieve precise and efficient operation under different working conditions.

[0027] The system also includes a monitoring system comprising a first monitoring camera 10 and a second monitoring camera 12, both mounted on the baffle 16. In actual use, the monitoring system transmits the images captured by the cameras to the driver's cab in real time via a monitor screen, allowing the operator to clearly see the entire operation process. The first monitoring camera 10 monitors the mooring and unmooring operations, specifically the operation of the robotic arm and cable hooks, ensuring correct cable engagement and disengagement. The second monitoring camera 12 monitors the anchoring and automatic release of the traction rope, ensuring smooth anchoring and release. Through the cooperation of these two cameras, the operator can quickly make judgments, adjustments, and corrections, achieving rapid alignment and precise operation. This real-time monitoring function significantly improves work efficiency, ensures the safety and accuracy of the operation, and reduces the need for manual intervention.
