[0031] To better understand the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with relevant illustrations. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are not intended to limit the specific implementation of the technical solution of this utility model, but are merely possible implementations of the technical solution of this utility model. It should be noted that the descriptions of the positional relationships of the components herein, such as component A being located above component B, are based on the relative positions of the components in the illustrations and are not intended to limit the actual positional relationships of the components. Example 1

[0032] See Figures 1-3 , Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of a ship stern protection device according to Embodiment 1 is shown. As shown in the figure, the ship stern protection device according to Embodiment 1 includes a curved outer plate 2 and a semi-circular steel protective strip 5. The curved outer plate 2 is disposed on the side of the ship and is flush with the outer surface of the ship's stern sealing plate 1 at a large angle.

[0033] The contact surface between the curved outer plate 2 and the stern sealing plate 1 is provided with a single-sided deep penetration weld bevel for flush welding with the stern sealing plate 1; after the curved outer plate 2 and the stern sealing plate 1 are welded, the outer weld foot edge is ground smooth to ensure that there are no protrusions on the side of the ship.

[0034] The curved outer plate 2 is provided with a semi-circular steel protective strip 5 at its tail. The semi-circular steel protective strip 5 is set on the outer surface of the tail sealing plate 1 to protect the curved outer plate 2 from cable friction and to prevent the tail from impacting and damaging the curved outer plate 2 and the tail sealing plate 1.

[0035] The included angle between the curved outer plate 2 and the tail sealing plate 1 is 135°. Example 2

[0036] See Figures 4-5 , Figure 4A structural schematic diagram of a ship stern protection device according to Embodiment 2 is shown. As shown in the figure, the ship stern protection device involved in Embodiment 2 differs from that in Embodiment 1 in that:

[0037] The tail end of the curved outer plate 2 is hinged to the tail sealing plate 1 via a connector 3. The back of the curved outer plate 2 is provided with a hydraulic drive mechanism 4, which is connected to the side of the tail sealing plate 1. According to the structure of the wharf quay wall or the width of the sluice gate, the hydraulic system drives the curved outer plate 2 to adjust the tilt angle to ensure that the tail maintains a safe distance from the quay wall.

[0038] The curved outer plate 2 is a multi-layer protective structure, including a rigid base plate 2.1, an intermediate buffer layer 2.2, a guide fin 2.3, and an outer protective layer arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The intermediate buffer layer 2.2 adopts a honeycomb aluminum buffer structure, which can disperse the impact force. The outer protective layer can be made of a high-elasticity polyurethane layer or a detachable wear-resistant rubber plate. The elastic layer absorbs energy during slight collisions to avoid rigid impacts, and the rubber plate can reduce friction damage. The thickness of the outer protective layer is 10-15mm. It is easy to maintain and improves the impact resistance performance by more than 30%.

[0039] The fins of the guide fin 2.3 are arc-shaped and extend outward to the stern. The guide fin 2.3 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed water guide holes 2.4. The water guide holes 2.4 can perform the function of guiding the flow, so that the contact between the water flow and the propeller is more stable.

[0040] The guide fin 2.3 guides the water flow to form a vortex barrier, reducing the lateral deviation of the ship when it approaches the shore; it also has the functions of preventing scratches and stabilizing the ship's attitude.

[0041] The rigid substrate 2.1, the intermediate buffer layer 2.2, the flow guide fin 2.3, and the outer protective layer are all independent detachable modules, allowing for partial replacement of damaged parts and reducing maintenance costs.

[0042] A laser rangefinder and a camera are installed on the stern sealing plate 1. The data is linked to the hydraulic adjustment device through the PLC controller to monitor the distance between the ship and the shore in real time. If the distance is ≤ the safety threshold (1.5m), the angle of the curved outer plate is automatically adjusted or an audible and visual alarm is triggered to achieve active protection and reduce the risk of human error.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] This invention provides a stern protection device for ships, featuring a hydraulically driven curved outer plate with an initial angle set at 90°. A laser sensor continuously monitors the distance between the stern and the shore, feeding the data back to a PLC controller. If the distance is ≤1.5m, the hydraulic system adjusts the outer plate to the maximum angle of 135°, simultaneously triggering an alarm to alert the crew. After berthing, the system automatically resets to the default angle. This invention, through innovative designs such as adaptive adjustment of the protective plate, modular buffering, intelligent monitoring, and composite flow guidance, solves the problems of traditional fender clearance bottlenecks and limited protection, significantly improving berthing safety and economy.

[0045] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
