[0031] This utility model provides an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing capabilities, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an LNG vessel equipped with berthing and unberthing environment sensing capabilities includes: a hull 1, a detector 2, a protective assembly 3, a propulsion assembly 4, and a connection assembly 5; the protective assembly 3 includes a protective box 31 and a cover 32, the protective box 31 is disposed on the top of the hull 1, and the cover 32 is hinged to the protective box 31;
[0032] The driving component 4 includes a bracket 41, a motor 42, a guide rod 43, and a sliding plate 44. The bracket 41 is fixedly installed inside the protective box 31, the guide rod 43 is fixedly connected to the bracket 41, and the motor 42 drives the sliding plate 44 to slide along the guide rod 43.
[0033] The connecting assembly 5 includes a mounting plate 51, the first end of which abuts against the inner sidewall of the cover 32, the second end of which is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 44, and the detector 2 is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 51.
[0034] In this embodiment, by setting up the protective component 3, the driving component 4 and the detector 2 in cooperation, the problem that the driver cannot detect the surrounding environment when the radar malfunctions is solved, and the detector 2 and the radar are used in conjunction to improve the safety of ship navigation, thereby ensuring the safety of the driver.
[0035] According to some embodiments of this utility model, when the radar malfunctions, after receiving the signal, the driver controls the motor 42 to rotate, driving the sliding plate 44 to move along the guide rod 43 towards the cover 32. The mounting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 44. As the sliding plate 44 moves, the first end of the mounting plate 51 pushes the cover 32. After the cover 32 is opened, the plate drives the detector 2 to move out of the protective box 31. The driver can use the detector 2 to detect the environment around the ship, thereby enabling the driver to observe the surrounding environment and avoid the ship from colliding with surrounding objects.
[0036] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the detector 2 includes a camera.
[0037] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the motor 42 includes a servo motor.
[0038] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a sealing element is provided at the hinge joint between the protective box 31 and the box cover 32.
[0039] According to some embodiments of this utility model, a wire hole is provided on the side of the protective box 31 away from the box cover 32. The wire hole is used to pass through the wires of the motor 42 and the detector 2 in the protective box 31. A sealing gasket is provided inside the wire hole. The sealing gasket is made of rubber and is placed between the wire hole and the wire. The sealing gasket is deformed by the compression of the wire, and the deformed sealing gasket fills the gap at the connection between the wire and the hole, preventing liquid from entering the interior of the protective box 31 through the connection of the three. This seals the connection between the wire and the wire hole, preventing rainwater from entering the protective box 31, thereby protecting the detector 2 inside the protective box 31.
[0040] According to this utility model, an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing function is provided, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the connecting assembly 5 also includes a sliding groove 52 and a limiting rod 53. The sliding groove 52 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the box cover 32. A limiting groove 521 is provided on the inner side wall of the sliding groove 52. The limiting rod 53 is inserted into the first end of the mounting plate 51 and is slidably connected to the limiting groove 521.
[0041] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 521 and the limiting rod 53 are provided to facilitate the sliding engagement between the mounting plate 51 and the limiting groove 521.
[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the limiting rod 53 is inserted into the first end of the mounting plate 51, the mounting plate 51 is inserted into the inside of the slide groove 52, and limiting grooves 521 are opened on opposite sides of the slide groove 52. The two ends of the limiting rod 53 slide in cooperation with the limiting grooves 521 to restrict the mounting plate 51 from sliding along the limiting grooves 521. When the detector 2 needs to perform detection, the mounting plate 51 pushes the cover 32 to rotate around the hinge to open the cover 32. When the detector 2 does not need to perform detection, the mounting plate 51 retracts, the limiting rod 53 retracts along the limiting grooves 521, and drives the cover 32 to rotate to close the cover 32.
[0043] According to this utility model, an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing function is provided, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the protective box 31 has a through hole 6, and the box cover 32 is connected to the through hole 6.
[0044] In this embodiment, the through hole 6 is designed to cooperate with the cover 32 to facilitate the entry and exit of the detector 2 into the protective box 31.
[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting plate 51 pushes the cover 32, the cover 32 separates from the through hole 6, and then the mounting plate 51 drives the detector 2 to move out of the through hole 6 so that detection can be performed. When the detector 2 is not needed, the mounting plate 51 drives the detector 2 to move into the through hole 6 and drives the cover 32 to rotate and seal with the through hole 6 to prevent rainwater from entering the protective box 31.
[0046] According to the present invention, an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing function is provided, wherein a sealing ring is provided between the cover 32 and the through hole 6.
[0047] In this embodiment, the sealing performance between the cover 32 and the through hole 6 is improved by setting a sealing ring.
[0048] According to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the sealing ring is made of rubber, and the horizontal longitudinal section of the cover 32 is convex. The sealing ring is fitted onto the protruding part of the cover 32. When it is necessary to seal the cover 32 and the protective box 31, the protruding part of the cover 32 passes into the through hole 6, and the sealing ring seals the connection between the cover 32 and the through hole 6, preventing rainwater from entering the protective box 31.
[0049] According to this utility model, an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing function is provided, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 4 also includes a screw 45 and a bearing 46. The bearing 46 is fixedly mounted on the inner side wall of the protective box 31 near the box cover 32. One end of the screw 45 is fixedly connected to the motor 42, and the bearing 46 is sleeved on the other end of the screw 45. The sliding plate 44 is threadedly engaged with the screw 45.
[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the bearing 46 is fixed on the inner wall of one side of the protective box 31, and the position of the other end of the screw 45 is fixed by the bearing 46. The motor 42 drives the screw 45 to move in the forward or reverse direction, and the sliding plate 44 and the screw 45 are threaded together to convert the rotation into linear motion.
[0051] According to this utility model, an LNG vessel with berthing and unberthing environment sensing function is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protective component 3 also includes a connecting ear 33, which is fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the protective box 31, and the protective box 31 is fixedly connected to the hull 1 through the connecting ear 33.
[0052] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when it is necessary to fix the position of the protective box 31, the protective box 31 is placed directly in the required position, and the connecting lug 33 is fixed to the hull 1 by bolts.
[0053] The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained below with reference to a specific embodiment. It should be noted that this specific embodiment is only for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be regarded as an unreasonable limitation on the protection scope of this utility model.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] In use, a motor drives the screw to rotate in both directions. The two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box and the bracket, respectively, thus fixing the position of the guide rod. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket, and the fixed position of the motor fixes the position of the screw. A bearing is sleeved on the other end of the screw, fixed to the inner wall of the protective box, fixing the position of the other end of the screw and cooperating with the screw's rotation. Both the fixed-position screw and guide rod pass through a sliding plate. During use, the screw and guide rod prevent the sliding plate from rotating, thus converting rotation into linear motion, which is useful when the detector needs to be moved. When in position, the motor is turned on, driving the screw to rotate. The rotating screw moves the threaded sliding plate (which is not rotating) to move, which in turn moves the mounting plate and detector at its bottom. The moving mounting plate rotates the cover, causing the cover to move out of the through hole while the detector passes through it, thus removing the detector from the protective box. The detector then monitors the surrounding environment when the ship berths and departs. After use, the motor is turned on again, moving the sliding plate, mounting plate, detector, and cover. The detector is then moved back into the protective box while the cover mates with the through hole to seal the protective box.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
