Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of navigation mark technology, specifically relating to a floating navigation mark that is resistant to wind and waves and prone to tilting. Background Technology

[0002] Navigational aids are a general term for various marks and devices used to assist ships in safe navigation. They provide crew members with vital navigational information, guiding vessels through complex waterways, port access, and coastal navigation to avoid dangerous areas and ensure safe passage. Classified by installation method, they can be divided into fixed navigational aids and floating navigational aids. Floating navigational aids are those that float on the water's surface and are secured by anchor chains or other mooring systems, such as various types of buoys. Floating navigational aids require high stability and reliability under rough sea conditions to ensure they can continuously provide accurate navigational markings in harsh aquatic environments.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN209719848U (publication date: March 16, 2019) discloses a wave-resistant marine monitoring buoy, comprising a float floating on the sea surface, a counterweight fixed to the bottom of the float, an anchor chain with one end fixed to the bottom of the counterweight and the other end extending to the seabed, an anchor body fixed to the end of the anchor chain away from the counterweight and submerged on the seabed, a light frame fixed to the top of the float, and a navigation light fixed to the light frame; the float is provided with a stabilizing device for stabilizing its buoyancy, the stabilizing device including a mounting frame fixed to the outer wall of the float and an airbag ring sleeved on the float and fixed to the mounting frame, the airbag ring being filled with gas. This utility model has the following advantages and effects: by utilizing a new mechanical structure, the wave-resistant performance of the buoy is improved, effectively preventing the buoy from capsizing and ensuring the safety of navigation equipment on the buoy.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN219063188U (publication date: November 30, 2022) discloses a solar-powered navigation light with anti-rollover capability. This utility model relates to the field of navigation light technology and includes a float base. A solar panel is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the float base. A navigation light body is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the float base. An anti-impact mechanism is fixedly installed on the side wall of the float base. A pontoon assembly is fixedly connected to the lower end of the float base, and a counterweight is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pontoon assembly. A limit anchor mechanism is fixedly connected to the lower end of the counterweight. The float base includes a float body, and the side wall of the float body has a movable groove. The navigation light body includes a navigation light drive seat, and a lamp cover is fixedly connected to the upper end of the navigation light drive seat. An LED light is fixedly installed inside the lamp cover. The anti-impact mechanism includes a connecting column, and an anti-impact float plate is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting column. This improves the navigation light's anti-rollover capability, prevents the navigation light from rolling over due to large-scale swaying caused by wind and waves, and extends its service life.

[0005] Chinese Patent CN220054081U (publication date: June 14, 2023) discloses a buoy belonging to the field of navigation marks, including: an upper buoy body and a lower buoy body disposed at the bottom of the upper buoy body. Multiple counterweights are stacked along the axial direction of the lower buoy body at the bottom of the lower buoy body. The lower buoy body is provided with a fixing component for fixing the counterweights. When in use, according to the specific conditions of wind and waves in the sea area, an appropriate number of counterweights are installed at the bottom of the lower buoy body to increase the weight and draft of the lower buoy body, thereby improving the stability of the buoy and ensuring high safety.

[0006] While some research on traditional navigation aids has focused on preventing them from being overturned by wind and waves, existing aids still fail to address the following issues: First, how to quickly install navigation aids under high wind and wave conditions to facilitate rapid maintenance. Second, how to prevent water accumulation in the anti-capsulation structure of navigation aids, as water is difficult to drain. Third, how to prevent floating debris from entangled in the navigation aids and affecting their functionality. Utility Model Content
