[0021] As shown in Figures 1-2, a ship draft monitoring device for a cargo terminal includes an assembly 1, a sliding component 2, a connecting component 3, and a supporting component 4. The sliding component 2 is disposed on both sides of the interior of the assembly 1, and the connecting component 3 is disposed on the side of the sliding component 2.
[0022] Support components 4 are provided on both sides of the top of component 1. The support components 4 include a bracket 401, a monitor 402, and a supplementary light 403. The monitor 402 is provided on one side of the top of the bracket 401.
[0023] A supplementary light 403 is installed on the other side of the top of 401. The monitor 402 works in conjunction with the supplementary light 403, and the monitor 402 is symmetrically arranged along the assembly 1. To improve the depth monitoring effect, a channel pipe 101 is installed along the ship's path in the cargo terminal. Multiple monitoring devices are installed inside the channel pipe 101. The top two sides are equipped with cameras installed on the channel pipe 101 to capture ship images. Image recognition technology is used to analyze the ship's position, attitude, and the boundary between the water surface and the ship in the image, calculating the ship's draft. This, combined with the multiple monitoring devices inside the channel pipe 101, improves the accuracy and reliability of the measurement. The assembly 1 includes a channel pipe 101, a laser detector 102, and an echo detector 103. The inner wall of the channel pipe 101 is equipped with a laser detector 102, and the bottom center of the channel pipe 101 is equipped with an echo detector 103. The channel pipe 101 is the waterway for ships in the cargo terminal, and the laser detector 102... The system is installed on both sides of the communication pipe 101. By combining laser point cloud data and image data from the top camera monitor 402, the real-time feature surface of the ship is extracted. The side parts of the feature surface are marked, the point cloud of the side parts is separated, and the freeboard height of the bow, midship and stern of the ship's side surface is calculated, thereby obtaining the draft. Meanwhile, the echo detector 103 is installed at the bottom middle of the communication pipe 101. The built-in transmitter emits sound waves. The sound waves are reflected back when they encounter the bottom of the ship and are received by the receiving transducer. The water depth is calculated by measuring the round-trip time of the sound waves, and then the ship's draft is obtained. The dual combination has the characteristics of fast measurement speed and high accuracy.
[0024] As shown in Figure 3, a ship draft monitoring device for a cargo terminal includes a sliding assembly 2 comprising a guide rod frame 201, a slider 202, a first connecting rope 203, and an air cushion 204. The slider 202 is disposed inside the guide rod frame 201, and the first connecting rope 203 is disposed on one side of the slider 202.
[0025] Furthermore, an air cushion 204 is provided at the end of the first connecting rope 203. The air cushion 204 is connected to the slider 202 through the first connecting rope 203, and the slider 202 is slidably connected to the guide rod frame 201. The air cushion 204 is located in the middle of the passage pipe 101 and is hidden in the water. It is connected by the sliders 202 on both sides. When the ship moves through the passage pipe 101, the air cushion 204 receives pressure and is squeezed inward, thereby sliding along the built-in groove of the guide rod frame 201 through the slider 202. According to the relationship between pressure and water depth, the water pressure on the bottom of the ship is measured, thereby calculating the ship's draft. This detection method can avoid the influence of the external environment. With the multiple built-in monitoring and top monitoring devices 402 in the passage pipe 101, the ship's draft is calculated by the data processing unit. The connecting component 3 includes a motor 301, a second connecting rope 302, and a ring 303. The bottom end of the motor 301 is provided with the second connecting rope 302. A ring 303 is provided on the side of the air cushion 204. The second connecting rope 302 is connected to the sliding component 2, and the ring 303 and the sliding component 2 are integrated. Since the air cushion 204 is used for the bottom compression detection of the ship, in order to avoid contact with the rotating blades at the end of the ship, the middle of the ship is observed through the shore monitor 402. Then, the second connecting rope 302 is driven by the rotation of the motor 301 on one side to move the slider 202 to the bottom, thereby moving the air cushion 204 into the water to increase safety.
[0026] Working principle: First, a channel pipe 101 is set up along the route of ships at the cargo terminal. At the same time, various monitoring devices are installed inside the channel pipe 101. The top two sides of the channel pipe 101 are equipped with cameras that collect images of ships and calculate the ship's draft.
[0027] The air cushion 204 is located in the middle of the passage pipe 101 and connected by sliders 202 on both sides. When the ship moves through the passage pipe 101, the air cushion 204 receives pressure and is squeezed inward. It slides along the built-in groove of the guide rod frame 201 via the sliders 202. Based on the relationship between pressure and water depth, the water pressure on the bottom of the ship is measured, thereby calculating the ship's draft. This avoids the influence of external environmental factors.
[0028] Environmental impact;
[0029] Since the air cushion 204 is used for bottom compression detection of the ship, in order to avoid contact with the rotating blades at the end of the ship, the middle of the ship is observed through the shore monitor 402. The second connecting rope 302 is driven by the rotation of the motor 301 on one side to move the slider 202 to the bottom, which in turn moves the air cushion 204 into the water.
[0030] The final through-pipe 101 is equipped with multiple monitoring devices, which, together with the top monitor 402 and the water pressure air cushion 204, enable the data processing unit to calculate the ship's draft, thereby improving accuracy.
[0031] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
