Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterway safety technology, and in particular to a waterway safety management device. Background Technology

[0002] Waterway safety management devices are important auxiliary equipment for ships, designed to improve vessel stability in adverse weather conditions, reduce rolling and heeling, and ensure navigational safety. These devices typically include multiple protective structures that inflate rapidly when the vessel encounters rough seas, providing additional buoyancy and extension to the hull, making it less prone to heeling. This not only reduces the risk of capsizing but also ensures the safety of crew and the integrity of cargo; therefore, such safety management devices are commonly used on water transport vessels.

[0003] However, current traditional waterway safety management devices typically involve installing airbags on both sides of the hull. When encountering wind and waves, the airbags are inflated to increase the buoyancy of the hull, thereby protecting the stability of the hull. However, the airbags are relatively fragile during actual operation and may be punctured by rocks or other objects if they are not properly protected. Furthermore, the inflation volume of the airbags needs to be controlled according to the actual situation to prevent over-inflation that could cause the airbags to rupture, or under-inflation that would result in insufficient buoyancy.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1 -5, the first embodiment of this utility model, provides a waterway safety management device, the structure of which includes:

[0033] The hull 100 has grooves on both sides. When the course is calm, the protective component 300 can be flipped and stored in the grooves to protect the airbag 305.

[0034] The control component 200 includes a servo motor 201. The output end of the servo motor 201 is connected to a drive gear 202. A chain 203 meshes with the surface of the drive gear 202. A driven gear 204 meshes with the surface of the chain 203. A threaded rod 205 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the driven gear 204. During use, the servo motor 201 is started to drive the drive gear 202 to rotate. The meshing chain 203 drives the two driven gears 204 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the two threaded rods 205 rotate synchronously, thereby causing the movable block 2051 to move downward on the surface of the threaded rod 205. The rotation of the control rod 2052 drives the tilting plate 301 to rotate until it is flat on the water surface, increasing the width of the hull 100.

[0035] The protective component 300 includes a flip plate 301, the bottom of which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A crash barrier 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the flip plate 301, and a protective box 303 is fixedly connected to the other side of the flip plate 301. An air pump 304 is fixedly installed inside the protective box 303, and an airbag 305 is fixedly attached to the output end of the air pump 304. During use, when the course is smooth, the movable block 2051 is located at the top of the movable groove. The flip plate 301 is raised and embedded in the groove by the connection of the control rod 2052. The crash barrier 302 protects the airbag 305 and the protective component 400 inside, preventing the airbag 305 from being punctured by rocks or other objects. When encountering wind and waves, the flip plate 301 is rotated, and the air pump 304 inflates the airbag 305 to increase the buoyancy of the hull 100.

[0036] The control component 400 includes a fixed block 401. A distance sensor 402 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the fixed block 401, and a spring 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the fixed block 401. A detection block 404 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 403. During use, when the airbag 305 has sufficient air, air enters the air tube 4043, compressing the piston 4042 in the air tube 4043, causing the piston 4042 and the connecting rod 4041 to move forward, causing the detection block 404 to move towards the fixed block 401. When the distance sensor 402 detects that the detection block 404 has moved to the correct distance, the air pump 304 stops inflating. When the air in the airbag 305 is emptied, the spring 403 is no longer under force and will cause the detection block 404 and the piston 4042 to rebound to their original positions.

[0037] Furthermore, a movable block 2051 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 205, and a control rod 2052 is rotatably connected to the surface of the movable block 2051. The movable block 2051 moves on the surface of the threaded rod 205, which can drive the rotation of the control rod 2052, thereby controlling the rotation of the flip plate 301.

[0038] Furthermore, a rectangular block 2053 is rotatably connected to one end of the control lever 2052. The rectangular block 2053 is fixedly connected to the flip plate 301, and the control lever 2052 and the flip plate 301 are rotatably connected through the rectangular block 2053.

[0039] Furthermore, a connecting rod 4041 is fixedly connected to one side of the detection block 404, and a piston 4042 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 4041. The movement of the piston 4042 within the air tube 4043 drives the movement of the connecting rod 4041.

[0040] Furthermore, an air tube 4043 is fitted onto the surface of the piston 4042. One end of the air tube 4043 is fixed inside the air bladder 305. When the air bladder 305 is filled with air, the air enters the air tube 4043, and the air compresses the piston 4042, causing the piston 4042 to move.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the groove is provided with a movable groove, and the movable block 2051 is slidably connected in the movable groove. The movable block 2051 is limited by the movable groove, so that the up and down movement of the movable block 2051 is more stable.

[0042] During use, when the route is smooth, the flip plate 301 stands up and is embedded in the groove. The anti-collision plate 302 protects the internal airbag 305 and the control component 400, preventing the airbag 305 from being punctured by stones or other objects.

[0043] Then, when encountering wind and waves, the servo motor 201 is started to drive the drive gear 202 to rotate, which drives the two driven gears 204 to rotate synchronously through the meshing chain 203. At this time, the two threaded rods 205 rotate synchronously, which causes the movable block 2051 to move downward on the surface of the threaded rod 205. The rotation of the control rod 2052 drives the flip plate 301 to rotate until it is flat on the water surface, increasing the width of the hull 100. Then, the air pump 304 inflates the airbag 305 to increase the buoyancy of the hull 100.

[0044] Finally, when the airbag 305 is full of air, the air will enter the air tube 4043, compressing the piston 4042 in the air tube 4043, causing the piston 4042 and connecting rod 4041 to move forward, causing the detection block 404 to move towards the fixed block 401. When the distance sensor 402 detects that the detection block 404 has moved to the correct distance, the air pump 304 stops inflating. When the air in the airbag 305 is emptied, the spring 403 will be no longer under force and will cause the detection block 404 and piston 4042 to bounce back to their original positions.

[0045] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
