Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of berthing buffer devices, and in particular to an adaptive berthing buffer device suitable for tidal ports. Background Technology

[0002] Ships are a general term for all kinds of vessels. They are means of transportation that can navigate or anchor in waterways for transport or operations. Ships have different technical performance, equipment and structural types according to different usage requirements. Ships are a man-made means of transportation that mainly operates in geographical waters.

[0003] When ships need to resupply, load or unload goods, or undergo maintenance, they need to berth. To prevent collisions with the dock, scrapped tires or other rubber objects are usually fixed to the berthing sidewall as anti-collision and shock-absorbing devices. However, such buffer devices are not only unsightly, but also have limited buffering capacity. Furthermore, since the scrapped tires and other buffer devices are fixed, the ship will still move forward a distance after contacting the tires upon berthing, which can easily scratch the ship's paint and affect its overall appearance. In view of this, we propose an adaptive berthing buffer device suitable for tidal ports. Utility Model Content

[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adaptive berthing buffer device suitable for tidal ports, comprising a first mounting plate 1 and a second mounting plate 2. The first mounting plate 1 is provided with a first U-shaped mounting plate 3 that provides a disassembly function. The two adjacent surfaces of the two vertical plates of the first U-shaped mounting plate 3 contact the left and right sides of the first mounting plate 1, respectively. A buffer rubber 4 for absorbing the impact force of ships is fixedly connected to the front surface of the first U-shaped mounting plate 3. A second U-shaped mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the buffer rubber 4. The two adjacent surfaces of the two vertical plates of the second U-shaped mounting plate 5 respectively... The second mounting plate 2 is in contact with the left and right sides of the second mounting plate 2. The upper and lower sides of the second mounting plate 2 are fixedly connected with extension plates 6 to provide installation space. A connecting shaft 7 is fixedly connected between the two extension plates 6. The outer surface of the connecting shaft 7 is fitted with a buffer rubber ring 8 to buffer and prevent friction with the surface of the boat. The extension plate 6 is equipped with an installation component. By utilizing the rotatable characteristic of the buffer rubber ring 8, the friction between the buffer rubber ring 8 and the surface of the boat is reduced, protecting the paint of the boat. Moreover, the detachable design allows for quick replacement when the buffer rubber 4 or the buffer rubber ring 8 is damaged.

[0028] The mounting assembly includes two connecting ears 9 for fixing the extension plate 6. The two connecting ears 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the extension plate 6, respectively. The upper side surface and the left and right side surfaces of the second mounting plate 2 are respectively provided with threaded holes 10. The connecting ears 9 are provided with first fixing bolts 11 that are adapted to the threaded holes 10. The left and right side surfaces of the first mounting plate 1 are also provided with threaded holes 10. The two vertical plates of the first U-shaped mounting plate 3 and the second U-shaped mounting plate 5 are provided with second fixing bolts 12 on the side surfaces that are far apart from each other. The right side surface of the cushioning rubber 4 is provided with a first cushioning cavity 13 and a second cushioning cavity 14 that extend out of its left side surface to provide deformation space for the cushioning rubber 4. The rear side surface of the first mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 15. The left and right side surfaces of the mounting block 15 are rotatably connected to rubber rollers 16 for reducing friction when the first mounting plate 1 rises or falls. The outer surface of the rubber roller 16 is provided with a protective airbag 17 for absorbing impact. The upper surfaces of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are both fixedly connected with steel cables 18 for connecting and controlling the lifting of the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2. The upper end of the steel cable 18 is fixedly connected with a lifting block 19 for integrating multiple strands of steel cable 18 into one. The upper surface of the lifting block 19 is fixedly connected with a hook 20, and a traction rope 21 is fixedly connected to the hook 20. The rear surface of the lifting block 19 is fixedly connected with two connecting plates 22. A roller 23 for reducing the friction of the lifting block 19 is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 22. With the setting of the lifting block 19, the height of the buffer device can be adjusted quickly and easily to adapt to different horizontal levels under tidal conditions. The roller 23 and the rubber roller 16 can avoid the problem of large friction when adjusting the height.

[0029] Among them, a lifting structure such as an elevator can be installed in the port, and the elevator can be connected to the lifting structure by means of a traction rope 21, so as to adjust the height of the buffer device during tides.

[0030] Working principle: First, the height of the lifting block 19 is adjusted by the hoist installed in the port in conjunction with the traction rope 21. At the same time, when the lifting block 19 moves, it drives the first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 to move synchronously with the help of the steel cable 18. When the lifting block 19 and the first mounting plate 1 move, the rotation of the roller 23 and the rubber roller 16 can avoid friction with the port. When the ship docks, it will first come into contact with the buffer rubber ring 8. The buffer rubber ring 8 deforms under the force and transmits the force to the second mounting plate 2 through the extension plate 6. The second mounting plate 2 then transmits the impact force to the second U-shaped mounting plate 5. The second U-shaped mounting plate 5 transmits the force to the buffer rubber 4, causing the buffer rubber 4 to deform. The first buffer cavity 13 and the second buffer cavity 14 opened on the buffer rubber 4 can provide a larger deformation space for the buffer rubber 4, further absorbing the impact force. The rubber roller 16 itself and the protective airbag 17 can also absorb the impact force. At the same time, the rotatable characteristic of the buffer rubber ring 8 reduces the friction between the buffer rubber ring 8 and the surface of the ship, protecting the paint of the ship.

[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
