Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock maintenance technology, specifically to a lock floating mooring bollard tilting device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern shipping and water conservancy engineering, lock systems are one of the key facilities for enabling ships to cross different water levels. Floating bollards, as crucial safety devices, are used to secure moored vessels and prevent them from drifting with the current. With increasing maintenance and repair needs, floating bollards require regular inspection, replacement, or anti-corrosion coating. This necessitates lifting the floating bollards from the water and adjusting their angle and tilting them to facilitate installation, repair, or surface treatment.
[0003] Traditional maintenance methods mostly rely on manual labor or simple machinery to complete the turning action, which requires multiple people to work together, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the floating bollard is prone to shaking or even falling off during the turning process, and safety accidents can easily occur due to inconsistent operation. Therefore, there is a need for an efficient floating bollard cylinder turning device for locks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that manual turning is inefficient and has poor safety. This invention provides an efficient device for turning the floating bollard cylinder of a lock.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a floating bollard cylinder tilting device for a lock, comprising a support base, a floating bollard and a tilting mechanism;
[0006] The support base includes a horizontal support base and an arc-shaped support base. After the arc-shaped support base is connected to one side of the horizontal support base, the floating bollard is placed inside the arc-shaped support base.
[0007] The tilting mechanism is mounted on the horizontal support base and is used to adjust the angle of the floating mooring bollard.
[0008] As an improvement, the flipping mechanism includes a rotating gear and a limiting sleeve;
[0009] The limiting tooth sleeves are rotatably set inside the arc-shaped support base, and a pair are mirror-set. After the floating mooring bollard passes through the two limiting tooth sleeves, it is limited and fixed by the limiting mechanism. A rotating gear is rotatably set on the horizontal support base, and a pair of rotating gears are set to cooperate with the limiting tooth sleeves. The two rotating gears mesh with the two limiting tooth sleeves. After the two rotating gears are driven by the drive mechanism, they rotate and push the two limiting tooth sleeves to rotate, thus flipping the floating mooring bollard.
[0010] As an improvement, the limiting mechanism includes a clamping block and a hydraulic telescopic rod;
[0011] Multiple clamping blocks are installed inside the limiting tooth sleeve. After the hydraulic telescopic rod pushes each clamping block to fit tightly against the outer wall of the floating mooring bollard, the floating mooring bollard is limited and fixed inside the two limiting tooth sleeves.
[0012] As an improvement, a pair of drive mechanisms are provided to work with the two rotating gears;
[0013] The two drive mechanisms each include a drive component and a drive motor; the rotating gear is connected to the drive component, and the drive motor drives the rotating gear to rotate at a certain angle with the cooperation of the drive component, and the drive motors of the two drive mechanisms are turned on and off simultaneously.
[0014] As an improvement, a support rod is fixedly installed on the horizontal support base to cooperate with the rotational connection of the two rotating gears, and each driving component includes a turntable and a spherical actuating block;
[0015] On the other side of the support rod, a pawl disk is rotatably mounted and fixedly connected to a rotating gear. A turntable is fixedly mounted on the pawl disk, and the inner wall of the turntable is evenly provided with tooth grooves. After the drive motor is mounted on the top surface of the horizontal support base through the support frame, the output end is connected to a toggle disk. A pair of spherical toggle blocks are provided on the toggle disk. The spherical toggle blocks can extend into the tooth grooves. When the drive motor rotates and the positions of the two spherical toggle blocks are changed, one spherical toggle block is pressed against the tooth groove and pushed downward, while the other spherical toggle block extends into the next tooth groove.
[0016] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0017] 1. The support base is composed of a horizontal support base and an arc-shaped support base, which can stably support the cylindrical structure and improve the overall support capacity and contact area;
[0018] 2. By using the meshing of rotating gears and limiting tooth sleeves, the dual-sided synchronous drive ensures a smooth and unbiased flipping process. The drive mechanism with spherical actuating blocks and tooth grooves achieves backlash-free power transmission, resulting in smooth operation and rapid response.
[0019] 3. The limiting mechanism consisting of a hydraulic telescopic rod and a clamping block can automatically lock the floating mooring bollard before it is overturned, preventing it from sliding or falling. Attached Figure Description

[0028] A lock floating mooring bollard cylinder tilting device, combined with attached Figure 1 As shown, it includes a support base and a floating bollard 1; the support base includes a horizontal support base 2 and an arc-shaped support base 3. After the arc-shaped support base 3 is connected to one side of the horizontal support base 2, the floating bollard 1 is placed inside the arc-shaped support base 3.
[0029] With the above structure, during maintenance, the floating bollard 1 is placed directly inside the arc-shaped support base 3, and then manually flipped over to carry out maintenance work.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Example 1, combined with Appendix Figure 2-4As shown, it also includes a flipping mechanism; the flipping mechanism is set on the horizontal support base 2 and is used to adjust the angle of the floating mooring bollard 1. The flipping mechanism includes a rotating gear 4 and a limiting sleeve 5; the limiting sleeve 5 is rotatably set in the arc-shaped support base 3, and a pair is set in a mirror image. After the floating mooring bollard 1 passes through the two limiting sleeves 5, it is limited and fixed by the limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a clamping block 6 and a hydraulic telescopic rod 7; multiple clamping blocks 6 are set in the limiting sleeve 5. After the hydraulic telescopic rod 7 pushes each clamping block 6 to press against the outer wall of the floating mooring bollard 1, the floating mooring bollard 1 is limited and fixed in the two limiting sleeves 5; the rotating gear 4 is rotatably set on the horizontal support base 2, and a pair of rotating gear 4 is set to cooperate with the limiting sleeves 5. The two rotating gears 4 and the two limiting sleeves 5 mesh with each other. After the two rotating gears 4 are driven by the drive mechanism to rotate, they push the two limiting sleeves 5 to rotate, thus flipping the floating mooring bollard 1.
[0032] With the above structure, before use, the floating bollard 1 is slowly hoisted into the arc-shaped support base 3, ensuring that its two ends pass through the central hole of the two side limiting tooth sleeves 5. The hydraulic telescopic rod 7 is controlled to push the clamping block 6 to move towards the center. The clamping block 6 is close to the outer wall of the floating bollard 1 and is firmly clamped inside the two limiting tooth sleeves 5.
[0033] When in use, the two drive mechanisms simultaneously drive the two rotating gears 4 to rotate, thereby causing the two limiting gear sleeves 5 to rotate within the arc-shaped support base 3, thus realizing the flipping operation of the floating mooring bollard 1 at a certain angle.
[0034] A pair of drive mechanisms are provided to cooperate with two rotating gears 4; each drive mechanism includes a drive component and a drive motor 8; the rotating gear 4 is connected to the drive component, and the drive motor 8 drives the rotating gear 4 to rotate a certain angle under the cooperation of the drive component, and the drive motors 8 of the two drive mechanisms are turned on and off simultaneously; a support rod 9 is fixedly provided on the horizontal support base 2 to cooperate with the two rotating gears 4 for rotational connection, and each drive component includes a turntable 10 and a spherical actuating block 11; a claw disk 1 is rotatably provided on the other side of the support rod 9 and is fixedly connected to the rotating gear 4. 2. A turntable 10 is fixedly installed on the claw plate 12. The inner wall of the turntable 10 is evenly provided with toothed grooves 13. The drive motor 8 is mounted on the top surface of the horizontal support base 2 through a support frame. The output end is connected to a toggle plate 14. A pair of spherical toggle blocks 11 are provided on the toggle plate 14. The spherical toggle blocks 11 can extend into the toothed grooves 13. When the drive motor 8 rotates to change the position of the two spherical toggle blocks 11, one spherical toggle block 11 is close to the toothed groove 13 and is pushed downward, while the other spherical toggle block 11 extends into the next toothed groove 13.
[0035] When the two drive motors 8 start simultaneously, they drive the actuation disk 14 to rotate. The spherical actuation block 11 enters the toothed groove 13 on the turntable 10 in sequence, pushing the claw disk 12 and the limiting toothed sleeve 5 to rotate, causing the floating mooring bollard 1 to rotate synchronously. According to the set angle, the control system automatically judges that the target angle has been reached and then cuts off the power to stop.
[0036] In the specific implementation of this utility model, the floating bollard 1 is slowly hoisted into the arc-shaped support base 3, ensuring that both ends of it pass through the central hole of the two limiting tooth sleeves 5. The hydraulic telescopic rod 7 is controlled to push the clamping block 6 to move towards the center. The clamping block 6 is close to the outer wall of the floating bollard 1 and firmly clamps it inside the two limiting tooth sleeves 5.
[0037] When the two drive motors 8 start simultaneously, they drive the actuation disk 14 to rotate. The spherical actuation block 11 enters the tooth groove 13 on the turntable 10 in sequence, pushing the claw disk 12 to rotate together with the limit tooth sleeve 5, which drives the floating mooring bollard 1 to rotate synchronously. According to the set angle, the control system automatically judges that the target angle has been reached and then cuts off the power to stop, so that maintenance operations can be performed.
[0038] Control the hydraulic telescopic rod 7 to retract, the clamping block 6 to release the floating mooring bollard 1, and use a lifting device to slowly lift the floating mooring bollard 1 away from the arc-shaped support base 3.
