Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, and more specifically, to a ship floating platform. Background Technology

[0002] Yachts are vessels used for recreational water sports. With economic development and rising living standards, yachts, especially small and medium-sized ones, will gradually become a next-generation durable consumer good, much like cars, entering households. However, yachts, when constantly moored in the water, are susceptible to corrosion from marine life and seawater. Furthermore, regular maintenance or repairs often require waiting for the vessel to come ashore, which is extremely inconvenient and makes it difficult to handle unexpected situations at sea. Therefore, a user-friendly floating platform is needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a ship pontoon that allows small vessels such as yachts to be easily raised and lowered via the pontoon, thereby solving the technical problems of long-term mooring or inconvenient maintenance of ships in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a ship float, comprising at least two buoyancy tubes connected by a crossbar. Each buoyancy tube has an inlet / outlet at one end and an air vent at the other end. The air vent is detachably connected to an exhaust hose, and the other end of the exhaust hose is connected to an air compressor. At least two sets of L-shaped brackets are provided on the two buoyancy tubes.

[0005] The ship pontoon provided by this utility model adopts the above-mentioned structure. It uses the inlet and outlet to control the flow of water into the buoyancy tube to lower the pontoon. Then, an air compressor is used to introduce air into the buoyancy tube, so that the water in the tube is discharged through the inlet and outlet to raise the buoyancy tube. The lifting and lowering are controlled by a simple ballast method. The buoyancy is used to lift the bottom of the ship off the water surface, which is convenient for staff to inspect and maintain the ship.

[0006] Preferably, at least two brackets on each buoyancy tube are connected by a handrail. The handrails on both buoyancy tubes provide support for people walking on them.

[0007] Preferably, the handrail is provided with a cable buckle.

[0008] Preferably, the cable buckle is inverted T-shaped and has at least one through hole. This facilitates securing the vessel using the cable buckle.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the buoyancy tube is provided with a footboard. Buoyancy tubes are typically cylindrical for easy molding and demolding, but walking on them is inconvenient when the ship is raised. Therefore, providing a footboard makes it easier for personnel to walk. Multiple footboards can be provided on the buoyancy tube.

[0010] The ship floating platform provided by this utility model uses a simple ballast system to control its lifting and lowering, utilizing buoyancy to raise the ship, facilitating maintenance and repair by personnel and cleaning of marine life attached to the bottom. This significantly reduces ship maintenance and repair costs, and simplifies traditional methods. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a ship's floating frame includes two buoyancy tubes 1 connected by a crossbar 2. Each buoyancy tube 1 has an inlet / outlet 3 at one end and a vent 4 at the other end. The vent 4 is detachably connected to an exhaust hose 5, and the other end of the exhaust hose 5 is connected to an air compressor 6. Figure 3 As shown. Both vents 4 and both inlet / outlet water inlets 3 can be controlled by magnetic valves. The exhaust hose 5 and air compressor 6 are detachable, allowing the control system to be separated from the overall structure of the ship's floating frame. They only need to be connected during use and can also be remotely controlled from shore. The outer diameter of the vents can be threaded for easy connection to the air compressor's exhaust hose, facilitating disassembly and assembly, and also enabling convenient recovery and maintenance of the control system. Two sets of L-shaped brackets 7 are provided on the two buoyancy pipes 1, which are arranged opposite each other. The brackets 7 support the bottom of the ship. Multiple sets of brackets can be installed as needed, such as... Figure 1As shown, this embodiment has four brackets. Two brackets 7 on each buoyancy tube 1 are connected by a handrail 8. The handrail 8 can be used for support during walking. A cable buckle 9 is provided on the handrail 8. The cable buckle 9 is designed in an inverted T-shape and has at least one through hole. When the ship's floating platform sinks into the water and the ship enters, the ship's cable can be tied to the cable buckle 9 to secure the ship. A footboard 10 is provided on the upper surface of the buoyancy tube 1. Figure 1 As shown, the pedals 10 can be set in multiple places to facilitate people walking on the buoyancy tube 1.

[0023] The floating platform provided in this embodiment enables the raising and lowering of the yacht through a ballast system, and has two working states. Its working principle is as follows:

[0024] The lifting process:

[0025] 1. Submerge inlet / outlet 3 below the water surface, and use the ship's own weight and natural water intake to submerge the ship's floating frame below the water surface;

[0026] 2. The vessel sails into the interior of the ship's floating frame and is moored and secured.

[0027] 3. Connect the air compressor 6 to the vent 4 through the exhaust hose 5. Start the air compressor 6 and fill the vent 4 of the ship's floating frame with air through the exhaust hose 5. At this time, the water in the buoyancy pipe 1 is discharged through the inlet and outlet 3. The ship's floating frame gains more buoyancy and slowly rises until the bracket 7 contacts the bottom of the ship, and then continues to rise.

[0028] 4. After reaching the designed storage conditions, seal the inlet / outlet 3 and the vent 4. At this point, the ship will be lifted above the water surface by the buoyancy of the floating platform.

[0029] The process of descent:

[0030] 5. Open the inlet / outlet 3 and lower it below the water surface, and open the vent 4. Under the weight of the ship and its floating frame, water will naturally enter through the inlet / outlet 3, and the floating frame will descend stably.

[0031] 6. Once the ship's floating platform is submerged below the water surface, loosen the mooring ropes and allow the ship to depart from the floating platform.

[0032] This utility model, through its ingenious design, uses the same inlet and outlet 3 for water intake and drainage, and works with an air compressor 6 to realize a ballast system. The structure is simple and convenient, and the control system is connected to the float via a hose, making it detachable and easy to recycle and maintain.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
