Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship berthing technology, specifically to a ship berthing buffer device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing berthing devices mainly consist of pre-installed rubber fenders and surface airbags on the pier's breast wall. Different piers are designed and constructed with pre-installed rubber fenders based on their functions and the tonnage of the vessels they berth on. This method has certain limitations on the tonnage and shape of the vessels, often resulting in situations where large vessels are used for small purposes or large vessels cannot berth. Furthermore, the biggest limitation of this traditional berthing method is that ships or vessels can only line up along the shoreline and cannot extend outwards. This is especially true for naval ports, which cannot fully utilize the available berthing waters of the harbor basin. The pre-installed pier rubber fenders lack flexibility because the connecting parts are pre-cast and embedded in the pier, and subsequent maintenance and replacement are also very troublesome.

[0003] A search revealed a floating berthing buffer device published in China on December 2, 2021, with patent publication number CN214566049U. The device is described as follows: the berthing buffer device includes a steel structure main body and a floating fender; the steel structure main body includes a steel frame and two high-molecular-weight polyethylene (PMPE) isolation modules, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the steel frame; the floating fenders are two in number, respectively located on both sides of the steel frame and close to the PMPE isolation modules; the steel structure main body and the floating fenders are connected and fixed by anchor chains and rigging.

[0004] Although the aforementioned existing technical solutions adopt a modular and detachable structure, which provides great flexibility, portability, and practicality in transportation, installation, and use, the device is only connected to a single point on the floating fender by an anchor chain. This results in a large stress on the connection between the floating fender and the anchor chain, which can easily lead to damage or breakage of the floating fender and reduce the stability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a ship berthing buffer device to solve the problem mentioned in the background technology that easily leads to damage or breakage of floating fenders, reducing the stability of the equipment.

The two floating fenders are respectively close to the two isolators. First connecting members are fixedly connected to both ends of the two floating fenders near the isolators. Second connecting members are fixedly connected to both ends of the two floating fenders that are far apart from the isolators. A telescopic rod is provided between the second connecting member and the first connecting member. Two cooperating fixing rings are fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting member near the side plate. Four anchor chains are fixedly connected to both side plates, and safety hooks that cooperate with the fixing rings are provided on the anchor chains.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the anchor chain, safety hook, and fixing ring work together to connect the floating fender to the side plate and facilitate the disassembly of the floating fender, thereby facilitating the transportation and movement of the equipment. The isolation component is used to isolate the side plate and the floating fender and to limit the movement of the floating fender, thereby protecting it. The two floating fenders work together to cushion the ship and protect the hull. The first connector, the second connector, and the telescopic rod work together to increase the connection area between the floating fender and the equipment, reducing the probability of damage to the floating fender and thus improving the stability of the equipment.

[0010] Optionally, guardrails are fixedly connected to the top of the motherboard near both ends.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the guardrail is used to provide protection for people when they walk and move on the main board, preventing them from slipping and thus improving their safety.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom ends of the two side plates are fixedly connected to two mating mounting plates, and the top ends of the two mounting plates are fixedly connected to threaded bases, with counterweights threaded onto the threaded bases.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded base facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the counterweight, thereby facilitating the handling and transportation of the equipment. The counterweight is used to provide counterweight at the bottom of the equipment, thereby lowering the center of gravity of the equipment, making it easier to maintain balance, and thus improving the stability of the equipment.

[0014] Optionally, an auxiliary floating pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motherboard.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary floating pad is used to provide auxiliary buoyancy for the equipment. When the floating fender is damaged or dismantled, the equipment can continue to float on the water surface, thereby facilitating the use of the equipment by personnel.

[0016] Optionally, a plurality of evenly distributed support plates are provided between the two side plates, with the support plates located at both ends of the side plates respectively, and the support plates are all connected to the two side plates by bolts.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the support plate is used to support the two side plates, thereby improving the stability of the equipment. The bolts are used to facilitate the disassembly of the support plate, thereby facilitating the transportation of the equipment.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] This vessel berthing buffer device, consisting of anchor chains, safety hooks, and fixing rings, is used to connect the floating fenders to the side plates and facilitates their disassembly for transporting and moving equipment.
