AI Technical Summary
Existing berth structures are insufficient to meet the convenient berthing needs of large vessels in areas with fluctuating water levels, and their safety and reliability are inadequate. In particular, when water levels in lock passages change frequently, common berth structures cannot effectively secure vessels.
Design a mooring pier for water level fluctuation zones, including a shoreline component and a pier component. The shoreline component consists of a shore foundation and a pressing stone, while the pier component consists of a pier body, a recessed hole, and a mooring bollard. The mooring bollard maintains a suitable height as the water level rises, and is combined with steel handguards, steel corner guards, and steel ladders to enhance structural stability and safety.
To ensure convenient berthing and safe passage of ships under different water level conditions, the height of the mooring bollards is adaptively adjusted to reduce wear and impact, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the structure.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pier, especially a water level change area pier. BACKGROUND
[0002] In water transport engineering, the pier as the corresponding navigation supporting facilities meets the demand of the ship's berthing, and guarantees the navigation safety and efficiency. However, the navigation situation and pattern have changed greatly, and the development of navigation capacity inevitably leads to the development of large-scale ships. When the large-scale ships pass through the ship lock, especially the multi-stage ship lock, the ship's descending and the shore mooring column's elevation are too different after the water level drops greatly. The common pier cannot meet the demand of the ship's convenient berthing in the face of the frequently changing water level of the lock passage.
[0003] The existing pier technology mainly focuses on anti-collision and construction forming technology, and few inventions consider the inconvenience caused by water level changes to the use of the pier by ships. A few inventions that focus on the height of the mooring column changing with the water level pay too much attention to the convenience of the structure and ignore the safety and reliability of the pier itself. For example, CN214875405U proposes a high water level difference floating type mooring pile foundation pier structure, which realizes the floating of the mooring device through the track slot. However, this method relies heavily on the reliability of the track slot, and the maintenance is much more difficult than the concrete pouring pier. CN217536870U proposes a flexible pier that adapts to water level changes, which realizes water level adaptation through the inflatable rubber floating fender. However, this flexible pier is too small in size and has low strength, and is only suitable for small ships docking at the wharf. The pier structure proposed by the existing technology is not suitable for large ships docking in the pilot channel, which has very high requirements for the reliability of the pier. Therefore, a water level change area pier is proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0004] This section aims to outline some aspects of the embodiments of the present utility model and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract of the specification and the utility model name to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract of the specification and the utility model name.

[0008] A dolphin assembly includes a dolphin body, a concave hole arranged on the surface of the dolphin body, and a bollard arranged inside the concave hole.
[0009] When the ship inside the shore foundation rises with the water level, the bollard is always at a proper height.
[0010] As a preferred scheme of the dolphin for the water level fluctuation area of the utility model, the surface of the dolphin body is fixed with a steel guard, and the two sides of the dolphin body are fixed with steel guard angles.
[0011] As a preferred scheme of the dolphin for the water level fluctuation area of the utility model, the concave holes are vertically arranged on the surface of the dolphin body, and the upper end of the dolphin body is fixed with a bollard.

[0018] As a preferred scheme of the dolphin for the water level fluctuation area of the utility model, the bollard is a cylinder, and the diameter of the limiting block is greater than the diameter of the bollard.
[0019] The dolphin for the water level fluctuation area of the utility model has the beneficial effects that the convenient berthing demand of the ship under different water level conditions of the lock passage is met under the premise of ensuring the safety and reliability of the dolphin body, and the traffic safety of the ship passing through the lock is effectively ensured.
