Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship mooring equipment technology, and in particular to a ship mooring bollard. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of human maritime activities, ships need to dock at ports and wharves for cargo loading and unloading, and personnel embarking and disembarking. To ensure the safety and stability of ships during docking and to prevent them from moving or drifting due to external forces such as water currents, a device is needed to secure the ships. When docked, ships need to maintain their relative position to the wharf or other fixed facilities to carry out various operations. Large container ships need to dock precisely at designated locations on the wharf when loading and unloading containers. By securing the ships with mooring bollards, the loading and unloading operations can be carried out smoothly. Mooring bollards have thus come into being.

[0003] Early ship mooring bollards were relatively simple in structure, often consisting of just wooden or iron stakes fixed to the ship's deck or dockside for securing mooring lines. These simple bollards were sufficient to meet the basic mooring needs of ships under the navigational conditions of the time. With advancements in industrial technology, the materials and manufacturing processes of bollards have continuously improved, evolving from the initial wooden and iron materials to cast steel and stainless steel. Manufacturing processes have also evolved from simple casting and forging to a combination of welding and machining, significantly improving the strength, corrosion resistance, and reliability of bollards. However, the traditional structural design of bollards may lead to fatigue cracks at the connection between the bollard and the base during mooring, as the long-term tensile force can cause these cracks, affecting the overall strength and service life of the bollard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a ship mooring bollard, which aims to improve the problem of insufficient sturdiness in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a ship mooring bollard, comprising a fixed post, a second connecting ring fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the fixed post, a plurality of movable frames fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting ring, a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to the outer wall of each of the plurality of movable frames, a spring post fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the plurality of first rotating shafts, a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the outer wall of each of the plurality of spring posts, a second movable plate connected to the outer wall of each of the plurality of second rotating shafts, a third rotating shaft rotatably connected to an adjacent side of each of the plurality of second movable plates, a force-bearing ring slidably connected to the outer wall of the second movable plate, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed post, a shell fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and a fixing mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed post, the fixing mechanism being used to fix the entire assembly.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, during use, the cable is tied and wrapped around the outer shell. When the cable is tightened, it applies pressure to the outer shell.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
