[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , the utility model embodiment provides a kind of shore-based connecting piece based on ship connection, including connecting rod piece 1, ship-shore rotary joint 2, the two ends of connecting rod piece 1 are respectively provided with articulated joint 11, so that the articulated joint 11 of one end of connecting rod piece 1 is connected on ship body, and the articulated joint 11 of other end is connected on shock absorber of shore body;Ship body end articulated joint 11 uses heavy universal joint structure, allows the multi-degree-of-freedom swing of ship body under wave action;Shore-based end articulated joint 11 is connected with hydraulic shock absorber, and impact energy is absorbed by damping adjustment.

[0030] At this time, connecting rod piece 1 is composite tubular design and sectional assembly.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 Connecting rod piece 1 is composed of at least two sleeve type connecting rods, and the inner wall of outer connecting rod is circumferentially divided and welded 3 groups (or more) first guide rail 101 (convex rail), and the outer wall of inner connecting rod is welded second guide rail 102 (concave rail) correspondingly, to form axial sliding guide structure.

[0032] Multiple connecting rods are connected by flange piece 12: flange end face is machined bolt hole along central axis direction, and high-strength bolt is pre-tightened to form rigid node, to ensure overall bending and torsional strength.

[0033] The connecting rod of the connecting rod member 1 is sleeve type, and the first guide rail 101 is concentrically welded on the inner side wall of the connecting rod member 1.

[0034] Meanwhile, the second guide rail 102 is concentrically welded on the outer side wall of the connecting rod member 1, so that when the inner and outer connecting rod members 1 are connected in sleeve, the second guide rail 102 is concentrically arranged on the first guide rail 101. The sleeve guide rail guiding structure provides axial expansion freedom, reduces adjustment resistance, and prevents eccentric wear by guide rail equal division design, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0035] As shown in Figure 5 The ship-shore rotary joint 2 is located at the end of the hinged joint 11, and the ship-shore rotary joint 2 includes a central shaft cover 21, a transmission gear 22, and a rod eye 23. The shaft cover 21 penetrates along the central axis of the connecting rod member 1 and is fixed on the inner wall of the connecting rod member 1 by flange bearings at both ends. The transmission gear 22 includes a driving gear (meshing with the shaft cover 21) and a driven gear (linking with the rod eye 23), and is fixed on the shaft cover 21 by key groove cooperation.

[0036] The rod eye 23 is an annular forging, the inner side is processed with a tooth structure to mesh with the transmission gear 22, and the outer side is connected with the ear plate of the hinged joint 11 through a pin shaft. At this time, the gear meshing transmission closed loop design (transmission gear → shaft cover → rod eye) guarantees the power transmission accuracy, and combined with the damper damping adjustment, it can adapt to the ship body roll and trim within ±15° range, and the modular ship-shore rotary joint supports independent replacement of a single component (such as the transmission gear), which reduces the maintenance cost by more than 60% compared with the traditional overall replacement mode. The sleeve guide rail and flange pre-tightening design shorten the rudder post length adjustment time to 30 minutes, which is suitable for areas with frequent tidal fluctuations.

[0037] The rod eye 23 is a rotating support point, which is driven to rotate through the shaft cover 21, so as to realize synchronous transmission of the rod eye 23 which is meshed with the transmission gear 22, and the rod eye 23 drives the deflection transmission of the hinged joint 11 (i.e. realizes the universal adjustment of the hinged joint 11). The ship-shore rotary joint 2 adopted realizes accurate power transmission, the tooth meshing design reduces transmission error, and improves the response speed of dynamic adjustment of the shore base and the ship body. And the gear rotation is converted into hinged deflection action, the low friction design reduces energy loss, and the synchronization ensures the docking accuracy of the ship and the shore.

[0038] The power transmission path of the whole device is as follows:

[0039] External driving device (such as servo motor) → shaft cover 21 rotation → transmission gear 22 meshing transmission → rod eye 23 synchronous rotation → hinged joint 11 deflection → driving the relative displacement compensation of the ship body and the shore base structure.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the second guide rail 102 extends out of the end face where the connecting rod 1 is located and extends outward. When the distance between the ship body and the shore base changes, the operator can unlock the flange bolts, slide along the guide of the first guide rail 101 and the second guide rail 102 to adjust the length of the connecting rod 1, and then lock the flange 12 again. The overall stability of the segmented structure of the connecting rod 1 is ensured, the high load working condition is adapted, the disassembly convenience meets the maintenance requirement. The flange 12 connection provides overall rigidity, the articulated joint and the shock absorber absorb the dynamic flexible load, and the structural strength and impact resistance are balanced.

[0041] At this time, the bolt rigid connection of the flange 12 guarantees the overall structural strength, and the articulated joint 11 and the shock absorber form a flexible buffer layer to realize the cooperative bearing of high load (such as 50 tons of static load) and dynamic impact (such as wave force peak value 20kN).

[0042] The first guide rail 101 and the second guide rail 102 are equally divided and arranged on the connecting rod 1 in multiple groups, which can improve the stability when the internal and external connecting rods 1 are connected.

[0043] Through the cooperation of the first guide rail 101 and the second guide rail 102, the length of the rudder post can be quickly adjusted to adapt to the change of tide or water level.

[0044] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model are shown and described above. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the utility model is not limited by the above examples, and the above examples and descriptions in the specification are only to illustrate the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model can also have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
