Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buoy technology, and in particular to a novel buoy rotating ring. Background Technology

[0002] Buoys are the core facilities of floating navigation aids at sea. They are mainly used to indicate the direction, boundaries and obstructions of navigation, and provide navigation and guidance to ships through color, shape and light signals to ensure navigation safety.

[0003] Currently, the number of navigation marks in the jurisdiction of the Lianyungang Navigation Mark Office has exceeded one thousand. In recent years, the Lianyungang Navigation Mark Office has effectively curbed the occurrence of buoys malfunctioning due to collisions by promoting the application of new materials and technologies for navigation marks. From 2021 to 2023, the number of drifting buoys lost by the Lianyungang Navigation Mark Office was 14, 13, and 20 respectively, showing an increase. Moreover, the handling of drifting buoys often involves the retrieval of the original buoy and the re-deployment of a new buoy, and sometimes it is necessary to charter another vessel. The cost of handling a single drifting buoy is far higher than that of buoy extinguishing or relocating.

[0004] The existing light-floating rotating ring has the following shortcomings:

[0005] During use, the existing buoy swivel rings are prone to chain detachment and loss of connection due to external forces.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a novel buoyancy ring to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0007] By utilizing gear meshing and the stress reset of counterweights and damping springs, the torque of the chain during rotation is reduced, thus preventing the chain links from coming loose and causing the navigation mark to drift away, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a novel buoy rotating ring, including a float, an illumination mechanism, and an anti-torsion mechanism. The buoy includes a large gear, and the anti-torsion mechanism includes a counterweight arc plate, an airbag strip, a chain, and a small gear. By moving the small gear around the large gear, the counterweight arc plate connected to the airbag strip reduces the rotational speed of the chain, thereby reducing the torque of the chain connected to the buoy when it floats on the horizontal plane, and preventing the chain buckle from coming off and causing the buoy to drift away.

[0009] The lighting mechanism includes a spring and a buoy bar. The rotation of the buoy bar and the support of the spring buffer the waves on the sea surface, keeping the lighting mechanism stable and preventing it from tilting due to wind and waves, thus improving the buoy's positioning effect.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side surface of the float, and a buoy arc plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the float. An arc groove is provided on the upper surface of the float, and the arc grooves are symmetrically arranged.

[0011] Preferably, the lower surface of the float is provided with an arc groove two, and the arc groove two is arranged symmetrically in quarters. A fixing rod is fixedly connected inside the floating island, and a large gear is fixedly connected to the side surface of the fixing rod.

[0012] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the large gear, and the telescopic rod is connected through the arc groove. A lighting mechanism is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod away from the float, and the lighting mechanism is located above the float. A spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lighting mechanism, and the spring is wound around the telescopic rod. A connecting ring is rotatably connected to the side surface of the telescopic rod, and buoy strips are evenly distributed on the side surface of the connecting ring. A lighting lamp is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lighting mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod two is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the float, and an anti-torsion mechanism is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod two away from the float. Telescopic rod two are evenly distributed on the side surface of the anti-torsion mechanism. A counterweight arc plate is movably connected to the end of the telescopic rod two away from the anti-torsion mechanism through a bearing. Spring two are fixedly connected to both sides of the counterweight arc plate. Airbag strips are evenly distributed on the outer side surface of the counterweight arc plate. A chain is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the anti-torsion mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting rod three is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the counterweight arc plate. The end of the connecting rod three away from the counterweight arc plate is movably connected to a movable rod through a bearing, and the movable rod is connected through the arc groove two. A small gear is fixedly connected to the side surface of the movable rod, and the small gear meshes with a large gear. A ball bearing is movably connected to the end of the movable rod near the float, and the side surface of the ball is in contact with the inner top wall of the float.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the movable rod moves inside the arc groove two by the propulsion of the water flow. Due to the meshing of the small gear and the large gear, the small gear moves around the large gear, thereby causing the counterweight arc plate connecting the airbag strip to expand outward and stretch the second spring and the telescopic rod two. The meshing of the gears and the stress reset of the second spring reduce the torque of the chain when rotating, and avoid the phenomenon of the chain buckle coming off and the navigation beacon being lost.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the water flow impacts the float, causing the large gear to drive the telescopic rod to move inside the arc groove. At the same time, the impacting water flow pushes the buoy strip, causing the connecting ring to rotate, thus buffering the water flow impacting below the lighting lamp. Meanwhile, the spring wrapped around the telescopic rod supports the lighting lamp, keeping the lighting mechanism stable and preventing it from tilting due to wind and waves, thereby improving the positioning effect of the buoy.

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways than those described herein, and therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Example 1, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a novel buoy swivel ring includes a float base 1, an illumination mechanism 2, and an anti-torsion mechanism 3. The float base 1 includes a large gear 106. The anti-torsion mechanism 3 includes a counterweight arc plate 303, an airbag strip 305, a chain 306, and a pinion 309. By moving the pinion 309 around the large gear 106, the counterweight arc plate 303 connected to the airbag strip 305 reduces the rotational speed of the chain 306, thereby reducing the torque on the chain 306 connected when the buoy floats on the horizontal plane, preventing the chain from coming loose and causing the buoy to drift away. The illumination mechanism 2 includes a spring 203 and a buoy strip 205. The rotation of the buoy strip 205 and the support of the spring 203 buffer the waves on the sea surface, keeping the illumination mechanism 2 stable and preventing it from tilting due to wind and waves, thus improving the buoy's positioning effect.

[0026] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: During the use of the buoy's rotating ring, the small gear 309 moves around the large gear 106, and the counterweight arc plate 303 connected to the airbag strip 305 reduces the rotational speed of the chain 306, thereby reducing the torque of the chain 306 connected when the buoy floats on the horizontal plane, preventing the chain buckle from coming off and causing the buoy to drift away. At the same time, the rotation of the buoy strip plate 205 and the support of the spring 203 buffer the waves on the sea surface, keeping the lighting mechanism 2 stable and preventing the lighting mechanism 2 from tilting due to wind and waves, thus improving the buoy's positioning effect.

[0027] Example 2, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting rod 101 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the float 1. A buoy arc plate 102 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 101 away from the float 1. A telescopic rod 202 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the large gear 106, and the telescopic rod 202 is connected through the arc groove 103. A lighting mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 202 away from the float 1, and the lighting mechanism 2 is located above the float 1. A spring 203 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the lighting mechanism 2, and the spring 203 is wound around the telescopic rod 202. A connecting ring 204 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the telescopic rod 202. Buoy strips 205 are evenly distributed on the side surface of the connecting ring 204. A lighting lamp 201 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lighting mechanism 2.

[0028] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: During the use of the buoy rotating ring, since the device floats on the water surface, the water flow impacts the float 1, causing the large gear 106 to drive the telescopic rod 202 to move inside the arc groove 103. At the same time, the impacting water flow pushes the buoy strip 205, causing it to drive the connecting ring 204 to rotate, thus buffering the water flow impacting below the lighting lamp 201. Meanwhile, the spring 203 wound around the telescopic rod 202 supports the lighting lamp 201, keeping the lighting mechanism 2 stable and preventing the lighting mechanism 2 from tilting due to wind and waves, thereby improving the positioning effect of the buoy.

[0029] Example 3, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper surface of the float 1 is provided with an arc groove 103, which is symmetrically arranged. The lower surface of the float 1 is provided with an arc groove 104, which is symmetrically arranged in quarters. A fixing rod 105 is fixedly connected inside the float 1. A large gear 106 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the fixing rod 105. A connecting rod 301 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the float 1. An anti-torsion mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 301 away from the float 1. Telescopic rods 302 are evenly distributed on the side surface of the anti-torsion mechanism 3. A counterweight arc plate 303 is movably connected to the end of the telescopic rod 302 away from the anti-torsion mechanism 3 through a bearing. Both sides of the counterweight arc plate 303 are fixed. A spring 304 is connected to the counterweight arc plate 303. Airbag strips 305 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the counterweight arc plate 303. A chain 306 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the anti-torsion mechanism 3. A connecting rod 307 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the counterweight arc plate 303. A movable rod 308 is movably connected to the end of the connecting rod 307 away from the counterweight arc plate 303 through a bearing. The movable rod 308 is connected through the arc groove 104. A small gear 309 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the movable rod 308. The small gear 309 meshes with the large gear 106. A ball bearing 310 is movably connected to the end of the movable rod 308 near the float 1 through a bearing. The side surface of the ball bearing 310 is in contact with the inner top wall of the float 1.

[0030] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 3 is as follows: During the use of the buoy swivel ring, the flow of water in the water area where the buoy swivel ring is located causes the chain 306 to swing, thereby causing the anti-torsion mechanism 3 to drive the float 1 to move. During the movement of the float 1, the moving rod 308 moves inside the arc groove 104 due to the push of the water flow. Since the small gear 309 meshes with the large gear 106, the small gear 309 moves around the large gear 106, thereby causing the counterweight arc plate 303 connecting the airbag strip 305 to expand outward and stretch the spring 304 and the telescopic rod 302. The meshing of the gears and the stress reset of the counterweight and damping spring reduce the torque of the chain 306 when rotating, avoiding the phenomenon of the chain buckle coming off and the buoy drifting away.

[0031] The working principle of the entire device is as follows: During the use of the buoy rotating ring, because the device floats on the water surface, the water flow impacts the float 1, causing the large gear 106 to drive the telescopic rod 202 to move inside the arc groove 103. At the same time, the impacting water flow pushes the buoy strip 205, causing it to drive the connecting ring 204 to rotate, thus buffering the water flow impacting below the lighting lamp 201. Simultaneously, the spring 203 wound around the telescopic rod 202 supports the lighting lamp 201, keeping the lighting mechanism 2 stable. During the use of the buoy rotating ring, because the buoy... The flow of water in the area where the rotating ring is located causes the chain 306 to swing, thereby causing the anti-torsion mechanism 3 to drive the float 1 to move. During the movement of the float 1, the moving rod 308 moves inside the arc groove 104 due to the push of the water flow. Since the small gear 309 meshes with the large gear 106, the small gear 309 moves around the large gear 106, thereby causing the counterweight arc plate 303 connecting the airbag strip 305 to expand outward and stretch the spring 304 and the telescopic rod 302. The meshing of the gears and the stress reset of the spring 304 reduce the torque of the chain 306 when rotating.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
