Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship inspection technology, specifically a measuring device for measuring the draft of a ship. Background Technology

[0002] "Overdraft" navigation refers to the act of a vessel, for economic gain, exceeding the depth of the channel it is navigating without taking measures to reduce its load. This can cause minor issues like traffic congestion, or more serious accidents such as grounding, damage to locks or ship lifts, and even personal injury or death. Because the standardization of vessel types in navigation is not high and water levels in channels fluctuate significantly, "overdraft" is easily generated, directly impacting navigation safety.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN211055337U discloses a ship draft measuring device, relating to the field of ship inspection. It includes two mounting plates, each with a through groove in its center. A movable rod runs through the groove, and the bottom ends of the two movable rods are fixedly connected to a detection plate. A sliding assembly is located in the center of the detection plate. Movable plates are located at the ends of the two mounting plates that are close to each other. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of each movable plate, and the connecting block is movably connected to the mounting plate via a pin. An elastic fitting block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the other side of the movable plate, and a suction cup assembly is located at the upper end of the other side of the movable plate. This utility model, by providing movable rods on the mounting plates, allows for rapid detection of the ship's draft by moving the rods along the scale lines on them in conjunction with the detection plates. A protrusion is provided at the opening of the through groove, and a threaded limiting post on the protrusion limits the movable rod, improving the measurement accuracy of the device.

[0004] Based on the search of the aforementioned patents and the findings of existing equipment, it was discovered that measuring devices are required when detecting the draft of ships. Traditional measuring devices require manual measurement of the draft, which leads to data deviations and inaccurate measurements. Furthermore, the measuring devices are inconvenient to use and disassemble, resulting in lengthy installation and disassembly times and affecting subsequent use. All these issues affect the usability of the device. Utility Model Content
