Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation mark technology, and in particular to a guide-type navigation mark light base that is easy to align and install. Background Technology

[0002] Buoys, as commonly used navigational aids, are widely used in inland waterways. Navigation lights, serving as nighttime signal markers atop the buoy, are a crucial component of buoy vessels and require periodic removal from their bases for maintenance and replacement. Currently, replacing lights on large inland waterway buoys involves maintenance personnel approaching the lighthouse by boat and manually disassembling and installing the lights from the tower. This method is limited by tidal fluctuations and shallow waters, requiring access to some shallow areas only during high tide, making timely light replacement impossible. Furthermore, this method poses certain risks to both the vessel and the personnel. The main drawbacks are: ① complex operating environment; ② low efficiency and high risk; ③ limited working opportunities; and ④ high maintenance costs.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN215523040U (publication date: November 5, 2024) discloses a highly stable navigation light base. This utility model uses a sealing gasket to buffer and seal the connection between the base and the navigation light, preventing rainwater from entering the base and causing corrosion of internal components. Simultaneously, a waterproof ring further seals the connection between the base and the navigation light, preventing rainwater from seeping into the base and the navigation light when the navigation light moves, thus improving the base's waterproofness. Chinese utility model patent CN208952040U (publication date: June 7, 2019) discloses a base for navigation lights. This utility model uses a connecting shaft and a slewing bearing to achieve the technical effect of adjusting the overall height of the navigation light. While the above patents address the problems of high maintenance costs and high risks associated with navigation light replacement to some extent, they do not fundamentally solve the problems of complex operating environments, low efficiency, high risks, and limited working windows associated with navigation light replacement.

[0004] Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, the applicant's technical team proposed utilizing a drone to hoist and replace navigation lights, enabling routine maintenance and emergency replacement of navigation lights. This overcomes the limitations of manual replacement methods, which restrict vessels from approaching river islands and shallow waters. To provide more comprehensive protection, the applicant has filed two patent applications: a navigation light fixing device for easy drone operation and a guide-type navigation light base for easy alignment and installation. These are separate products, but can also be sold as accessories. This application pertains to a guide-type navigation light base for easy alignment and installation. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a navigation light fixing device that facilitates drone operation, mainly solving the problem of matching the navigation light and the base during drone navigation light replacement operations, that is, the problem of the ease of navigation light installation. The specific technical solution is described as follows.

[0006] A guide light base for easy alignment and installation includes a base fixing bracket, a guide plate, a locking mating block, and a base raising bracket;

[0008] Furthermore, the base fixing bracket is a horizontally placed cuboid frame welded from 304 stainless steel angle iron. Its bottom surface has two "L"-shaped support frames, each with several mounting holes on its horizontal surface. The base fixing bracket serves to fix the guide plate and locking block.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide disc is conical and welded from 304 stainless steel sheet metal, with a flattened round bottom and an outward-extending top edge forming a ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking block is machined from 304 stainless steel and includes a third cylinder and a fourth cylinder, wherein the diameter of the third cylinder is larger than the diameter of the fourth cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the interior of the third cylinder is configured with a conical concave surface, the top diameter of which is smaller than the bottom diameter of the guide plate, and the uppermost part of the conical concave surface is provided with several drainage holes penetrating the third cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the interior of the fourth cylinder is configured with a conical concave surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the minimum distance between the two support frames is less than the diameter of the fourth cylinder, and the support frames are used to connect the base fixing bracket and the locking mating block.

[0015] Furthermore, the base elevation bracket is welded from 304 stainless steel angle iron. It is a vertically placed cuboid frame with the top side length being greater than the maximum distance between the two support frames. The top and bottom surfaces of the base elevation bracket are provided with mounting holes that match the mounting holes on the support frames.
