Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating beacon technology, specifically a floating beacon for waterways. Background Technology

[0002] Floating beacons in navigation channels are generally floating markers used to indicate navigational routes, warn vessels to avoid dangerous areas, or mark channel boundaries. These markers are commonly called buoys, and some buoys can also be used in conjunction with warning lights for added visibility. These buoys are designed and deployed to ensure the safe navigation of vessels at sea or in rivers.

[0003] Existing technologies require the use of photovoltaic panels in conjunction with buoys equipped with warning lights. The installation of both the photovoltaic panels and warning lights necessitates the use of numerous screws for secure fixing. Furthermore, if problems arise with the photovoltaic panels or warning lights during use, replacement and maintenance are inconvenient at sea. Additionally, the buoys require anchors for fixation at relatively fixed depths, which can easily cause them to sink below the surface during periods of heavy rain or high tide, thus affecting their normal operation. Therefore, we propose a new type of floating buoy for waterways. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating navigation tower to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a floating buoy for waterways, comprising a float base, an anti-tipping plate fixedly installed on the top of the float base to prevent it from tipping over, a fixing mechanism fixedly installed on the top of the float base via a locking mechanism, an alarm mechanism for alarm prompting fixedly installed on the top of the fixing mechanism, sign placement mechanisms for placing warning signs fixedly installed on both sides of the alarm mechanism, and a connecting mechanism for connecting to a fixed anchor fixedly installed at the bottom of the float base.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing seat, a through groove, a positioning groove, and a guide groove. The fixing seat has a through groove at its center, and multiple positioning grooves are formed at the bottom of the fixing seat. The bottom of the fixing seat also has a guide groove that communicates with the positioning grooves. The guide groove is shaped like a frustum.

The locking bolts pass through the through grooves and extend to the top of the fixing seat. Threaded caps are threaded onto the outer surface of the locking bolts, and the bottom of the threaded caps fits against the top of the fixing seat.

[0008] Furthermore, the alarm mechanism includes a mounting frame, a first fixing frame, a photovoltaic panel, and a warning light. The mounting frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing base, and the warning light is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame. The photovoltaic panels are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame via the first fixing frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the sign placement mechanism includes a second fixing frame, a placement sleeve, and a retrieval slot. Both ends of the mounting frame are fixedly connected to a placement sleeve made of transparent material through the second fixing frame, and the surface of the placement sleeve is provided with an arc-shaped retrieval slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a limiting plate, a slider, and a fixing ring. Two sets of limiting plates are fixedly installed at the bottom of the float.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a floating tower beacon for waterways, including a float 1, an anti-tipping plate 2 fixedly installed on the top of the float 1 to prevent the float 1 from tipping over, a fixing mechanism 3 fixedly installed on the top of the float 1 through a locking mechanism 4, an alarm mechanism 5 for alarm prompting fixedly installed on the top of the fixing mechanism 3, a sign placement mechanism 6 for placing warning signs fixedly installed on both sides of the alarm mechanism 5, and a connecting mechanism 7 for connecting to a fixed anchor fixedly installed at the bottom of the float 1.

[0020] The anti-tipping plate 2 prevents the float 1 from tipping over during the use of the entire device. The alarm mechanism 5 and the fixing mechanism 3 for ship warning are installed on top of the anti-tipping plate 2 through the locking mechanism 4. The alarm mechanism 5 can be fixedly installed by a set of threaded caps 14, which makes it easy to inspect and maintain the alarm mechanism 5 in case of failure. The connecting mechanism 7 can be fixedly connected to the external fixed anchor. The connecting mechanism 7 can change the connection distance with the fixed anchor, which can prevent the entire device from being underwater during rainy weather and high tide. The sign placement mechanism 6 fixes the sign through a plug-in method, which makes it easy to replace the sign.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fixing seat 8, a through groove 9, a positioning groove 10, and a guide groove 11. The fixing seat 8 has a through groove 9 at its center. The fixing seat 8 has multiple positioning grooves 10 at its bottom. The fixing seat 8 also has a guide groove 11 at its bottom that communicates with the positioning grooves 10. The guide groove 11 is shaped like a frustum. The locking mechanism 4 includes a positioning post 12, a locking bolt 13, and a threaded cap 14. The anti-tipping plate 2 has multiple positioning posts 12 fixedly installed at its top and at the position corresponding to the positioning groove 10. The anti-tipping plate 2 has a locking bolt 13 fixedly connected at its top and at the position corresponding to the through groove 9. The locking bolt 13 passes through the through groove 9 and extends to the top of the fixing seat 8. The outer surface of the locking bolt 13 is threaded with a threaded cap 14. The bottom of the threaded cap 14 fits against the top of the fixing seat 8.

[0022] When the fixed seat 8 needs to be installed, the locking bolt 13 is aligned with the through groove 9, and the threaded cap 14 is threaded onto the outer surface of the locking bolt 13. This completes the fixed installation of the fixed seat 8 and prevents the fixed seat 8 from moving up and down. The multiple sets of positioning pins 12 can be inserted into the positioning groove 10 to complete the left and right positioning of the fixed seat 8, thereby preventing the fixed seat 8 from wobbling left and right after installation. The frustum-shaped guide groove 11 also makes it easier to insert the positioning pins 12 into the positioning groove 10.

[0023] Please see Figure 1The alarm mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 15, a first fixing frame 16, a photovoltaic panel 17, and a warning light 18. The mounting frame 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixing base 8. The warning light 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 15. The photovoltaic panels 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting frame 15 by the first fixing frame 16. The sign placement mechanism 6 includes a second fixing frame 19, a placement sleeve 20, and a retrieval slot 21. The two ends of the mounting frame 15 are fixedly connected to the placement sleeve 20 made of transparent material by the second fixing frame 19. The surface of the placement sleeve 20 is provided with an arc-shaped retrieval slot 21.

[0024] The inclined photovoltaic panel 17 can provide power to the warning light 18, so that the warning light 18 can be used to warn passing ships. The transparent material placement sleeve 20 can place and fix the signboard that needs to be placed, and the opening of the retrieval slot 21 can facilitate the removal and placement of the signboard inside the placement sleeve 20.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The connecting mechanism 7 includes a limiting plate 22, a slider 23, and a fixing ring 26. Two sets of limiting plates 22 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the float 1. The slider 23 is slidably connected inside the limiting plate 22. A sliding groove 24 is opened through the limiting plate 22. Two sets of sliding rods 25 inserted into the sliding groove 24 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 23. The fixing ring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 23. A limiting rod 27 is slidably connected to the top of the slider 23. The top of the limiting rod 27 is fixedly connected to the float 1. A spring 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 23 and on the outer surface of the limiting rod 27. The top of the spring 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the float 1.

[0026] When the device is in use and encounters rainy or high tide, the fixed anchor and the external connecting rope are fixedly connected to the fixed ring 26. Then, due to the action of the float 1, the entire device will always float on the water surface. As the water level rises, the slider 23 and the sliding rod 25 can move along the limiting plate 22 and the sliding groove 24, which increases the distance between the fixed anchor and the fixed ring 26. This prevents the entire device from being hidden below the water surface. The limiting rod 27 and the spring 28 can reset the fixed ring 26 when the water level drops.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The outer surface of the float 1 is fitted with a protective ring 29 made of rigid material. The top of the anti-tipping plate 2 is fixedly fitted with multiple sets of traction rings 30. The protective ring 29 can provide a certain degree of protection for the float 1 and prevent the float 1 from deforming when it is hit by a collision. The multiple sets of traction rings 30 can facilitate the operation of the entire device by the staff using external tools.

[0028] In use, firstly, the anti-tipping plate 2 prevents the float 1 from tipping over during the entire device's operation. The alarm mechanism 5 and fixing mechanism 3 for ship warning are installed above the anti-tipping plate 2 via a locking mechanism 4. This setup allows for easy installation of the alarm mechanism 5 using a set of threaded caps 14, facilitating maintenance in case of malfunction. The connecting mechanism 7 can be fixedly connected to an external anchor, and its connection distance can be adjusted to prevent the entire device from being submerged during rain or high tide. The signboard placement mechanism 6 secures the signboard via a plug-in connection, facilitating signboard replacement. When installing the fixing seat 8, the locking bolt 13 is aligned with the through groove 9, and the threaded cap 14 is threaded onto the outer surface of the locking bolt 13, thus securing the fixing seat 8 and preventing it from moving up or down. Multiple positioning pins 12 can be inserted into the positioning groove 10 to complete the installation. The left and right positioning of the fixing base 8 prevents it from wobbling after installation. The frustum-shaped guide groove 11 facilitates the insertion of the positioning post 12 into the positioning groove 10. The inclined photovoltaic panel 17 provides power to the warning light 18, enabling it to warn passing vessels. The transparent placement sleeve 20 secures the signboard, and the retrieval slot 21 allows for easy removal of the signboard from the sleeve. When the device is in use, during rainy or high tide, the fixed anchor and the external connecting rope are fixedly connected to the fixed ring 26. Then, due to the action of the float 1, the entire device will always float on the water surface. As the water level rises, the slider 23 and the sliding rod 25 can move along the limiting plate 22 and the sliding groove 24, which increases the distance between the fixed anchor and the fixed ring 26. This prevents the entire device from being hidden below the water surface. The limiting rod 27 and the spring 28 can reset the fixed ring 26 when the water level drops.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
