Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water buoy technology, specifically relating to a water interception buoy. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of the transportation industry, the complex water environment of water traffic has led to frequent water traffic accidents such as ship collisions and capsizing. After the bridge was built and put into operation, ships navigating through the bridge area have been reorganized from freely navigating in open waters to navigating according to the bridge area's waterway, making the navigation environment more complex. Although relatively complete navigation aids and strict water traffic management have been implemented, and most ships can navigate in accordance with navigation rules, there are still a few ships that do not comply with shipping rules, make mistakes, or lose control due to extreme weather or ship malfunctions. The bridge still faces the risk of being collided with by ships.

[0003] Currently, the ship collision prevention interception measures adopted for non-navigable bridges are mainly divided into three categories: artificial islands, pile foundations or pile foundations with rigid steel structure connections for fixed isolation and interception, and pile foundations or floating foundations with cable (net) connections. Considering various actual factors in the bridge area and the requirements of the main project, it is considered that setting up pile foundations or floating foundations with cable (net) connections for interception is more feasible. When using interception nets to intercept ships, it is possible to maintain stable interception and obstruction of ships, enhancing the stability and safety of ship interception. When installing and using the ship obstruction structure of the interception net, interception buoys are required to indicate the position of the interception structure so that ships can identify it.

[0004] In the existing technology, interception buoys adopt a traditional buoy structure, which is installed and connected to the interception net structure by a cable. It is used to alert the interception net structure. After the existing interception buoys are installed, the buoy buoy has a fixed buoy force, which makes the buoy susceptible to strong winds on the water surface, causing it to constantly pull on the cable structure. It is not convenient to adjust the installation depth of the buoy on the water surface according to the needs of the usage environment.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, prior art disclosed in CN216943462U describes a cable-connected water interception buoy. This prior art uses the movement of a piston disc to pump in seawater, thereby adjusting the depth of the water interception buoy. However, when in use, this buoy sways with the sea surface and is prone to overturning. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a waterborne interception buoy. This waterborne interception buoy is equipped with a counterweight and seawater in the lower part of the cavity, which can cause the center of gravity of the buoy to shift downward, thereby maintaining the stability of the buoy and increasing its stability during use, thus reducing the probability of overturning.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this type of waterborne interception buoy to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0008] A waterborne interception buoy is provided, comprising an annular buoy, with connecting rings fixedly installed on both sides of the top surface of the buoy, a sphere disposed inside the buoy, and one end of several connecting rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buoy, the other end of the connecting rods being fixedly connected to the convex surface of an arc plate, the concave surface of the arc plate engaging with the sphere, a cylindrical cavity disposed inside the sphere, an air exchange pipe fixedly installed at the top of the cavity, and a water pipe fixedly installed at the bottom surface of the cavity, both the air exchange pipe and the water pipe penetrating the sphere and being fixedly connected, a counterweight fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the bottom of the water pipe, a piston plate slidably engaged with the piston plate disposed inside the cavity, and a moving device for moving the piston plate up and down disposed inside the cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, a shielding cap is installed at the upper end of the ventilation pipe via a connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the moving device includes an electric actuator, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner wall of the cavity via a connecting plate, and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the piston plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the cavity is located slightly above the center of the sphere.

[0012] Furthermore, the counterweight is connected to the water pipe via a threaded structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the concave surface of the arc plate is provided with a rolling ball structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting rod and the corresponding arc plate are connected by a bolt structure.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model illustrates a waterborne interception buoy that is connected to a connecting cable via a connecting ring. A moving device drives a piston plate to move up and down, thereby allowing seawater to enter or exit the cavity through a water pipe. This enables gravity adjustment, thus regulating the buoy's position and depth. When the buoy sways with the sea surface, the counterweight and seawater at the bottom of the cavity cause the buoy's center of gravity to shift downwards, maintaining its stability and increasing its stability during use, thus reducing the probability of overturning.

[0017] 2. In this utility model example, a water interception buoy has a shielding cap that can shield the upper end of the ventilation pipe, thus preventing rainwater from entering the ventilation pipe.

[0018] 3. The present invention provides an example of a waterborne interception buoy, in which the extension and retraction of the electric push rod can drive the piston plate to move up and down. The moving device has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0019] 4. In this utility model example, a water interception buoy has a cavity located slightly above the center of the sphere, which allows the center of gravity of the sphere to shift downward, making the sphere more stable.

[0020] 5. The water interception buoy of this utility model can be replaced and adjusted by means of a threaded structure, making it more convenient to use.

[0021] 6. The water interception buoy of this utility model has a rolling ball structure that can reduce the friction between the concave surface of the arc plate and the outer periphery of the ball, making the ball more flexible.

[0022] 7. The water interception buoy of this utility model can be disassembled by means of a threaded structure to remove the arc plate, thereby disassembling the sphere, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of this utility model and makes it more convenient to use.

A water pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cavity 5. The air exchange pipe 6 and the water pipe 7 both pass through the sphere 2 and are fixedly connected. A counterweight block 8 is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the bottom of the water pipe 7. A piston plate 9 is disposed inside the cavity 5 and slides therewith. A moving device is disposed inside the cavity 5 to drive the piston plate 9 to move up and down. The device connects the piston plate 9 to the connecting cable via a connecting ring. The piston plate 9 moves up and down via a moving device, allowing seawater to enter or exit the cavity 5 through the water pipe 7. This enables gravity adjustment, thereby adjusting the position and depth of the device. When the float 1 sways with the sea surface, the counterweight 8 and the seawater at the bottom of the cavity 2 cause the center of gravity of the sphere 2 to shift downward, thus maintaining the stability of the sphere 2 and increasing its stability during use, reducing the probability of overturning.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, in a further preferred embodiment, the concave surface of the arc plate 4 is provided with a rolling ball structure. The rolling ball structure can reduce the friction between the concave surface of the arc plate 4 and the outer periphery of the ball 2, making the ball 2 more flexible.
