Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship protection equipment technology, specifically a corrosion-resistant rubber fender. Background Technology

[0002] During ship berthing at docks, rubber fenders play a crucial role in cushioning and protecting the vessel, effectively reducing the impact of collisions between the ship and the dock and preventing serious damage to both. However, in real-world applications, rubber fenders face numerous significant challenges.

[0003] Existing technologies suffer from the following defects or problems: Large quantities of highly corrosive media such as seawater, leaked chemical raw materials, and industrial wastewater are present. These corrosive substances erode rubber fenders over time, causing the rubber material of traditional fenders to age and degrade rapidly, resulting in a significant decline in its physical properties. Common issues include surface cracking and peeling of the rubber, and the internal structure becoming loose and brittle due to corrosion, severely affecting the fender's cushioning effect and structural strength, and significantly shortening its service life. Furthermore, some existing rubber fenders are inconvenient to install; the installation structure is not stable enough and is prone to displacement and loosening under frequent ship collisions or water current impacts, further reducing their protective reliability.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the inventor's technical knowledge and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a corrosion-resistant rubber fender, which solves the existing problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corrosion-resistant rubber fender, comprising a mounting plate, wherein mounting components are provided on the outer periphery of the mounting plate;

[0007] The mounting assembly includes mounting slots, a plurality of mounting slots are evenly distributed around the mounting plate, bolts are threaded around the mounting plate, a gasket is fitted onto the mounting plate and is sleeved on the outside of the bolts, and the mounting slots are U-shaped.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a fender body is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate, a protective plate is adhered to the front side of the fender body, a plurality of evenly distributed protective pads are fixedly connected to the front side of the protective plate, and the interior of the fender body is a cavity.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fender body has two intersecting reinforcing plates fixedly connected inside.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, multiple evenly distributed drainage holes are provided on the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate and on one side wall of the fender body.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fender body is trapezoidal and the protective pad is semi-circular.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective plate is provided with a corrosion-resistant buffer layer inside, and a fiber reinforcement layer is bonded to the bottom of the corrosion-resistant buffer layer.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective pad, the fender body, and the outer periphery of the bolt are all coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a corrosion-resistant rubber fender with the following characteristics:

[0015] Beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This corrosion-resistant rubber fender effectively resists the erosion of external corrosive media by applying an anti-corrosion coating to the protective pad, fender body, and bolt perimeter. The corrosion-resistant buffer layer inside the protective plate is made of special corrosion-resistant materials, further enhancing the overall corrosion resistance of the fender, greatly extending the service life of the rubber fender in harsh corrosive environments, reducing the high costs of frequent fender replacement due to corrosion, and ensuring long-term safe protection for ship berthing.

[0017] 2. This corrosion-resistant rubber fender, through the use of U-shaped mounting grooves in conjunction with bolts and washers, makes fender installation convenient and stable, effectively resisting external forces such as ship impacts and water flow impacts, preventing fender displacement or loosening. The hollow structure inside the fender body and the intersecting reinforcing plates significantly enhance its structural strength while reducing the fender's own weight, providing reliable cushioning support for the ship. The trapezoidal design of the fender body conforms to mechanical principles, better dispersing and bearing impact forces. The multiple protective pads not only increase the contact area with the ship and reduce local pressure, but also, due to their semi-circular shape design, make the ship more stable and smooth during berthing, effectively protecting the ship's surface from scratches and further enhancing the fender's cushioning protection effect.

[0024] 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.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment: a corrosion-resistant rubber fender includes a mounting plate 1, and mounting components are provided on the outer periphery of the mounting plate 1;

[0026] The mounting assembly includes mounting slots 3, with multiple mounting slots 3 evenly distributed around the mounting plate 1. Bolts 4 are threaded around the mounting plate 1, and a gasket 2 is fitted onto the outer sleeve of the mounting plate 1. The mounting slots 3 are U-shaped.

[0027] Specifically, the mounting plate 1 serves as the base for the entire rubber fender, and is securely connected to the installation location such as the dock or ship through mounting grooves 3 evenly spaced around its perimeter and threaded bolts 4. During installation, gaskets 2 are placed over the bolts 4 and abut against the outer sleeve of the mounting plate 1 to ensure tightness and stability of the installation and prevent loosening due to external forces during use.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a fender body 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate 1, a protective plate 8 is bonded to the front side of the fender body 5, and multiple evenly distributed protective pads 6 are fixedly connected to the front side of the protective plate 8. The fender body 5 has a hollow interior, and two intersecting reinforcing plates 7 are fixedly connected inside the fender body 5. Multiple evenly distributed drainage holes 9 are provided on the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 7 and on one side wall of the fender body 5. The fender body 5 is trapezoidal, the protective pads 6 are semi-circular, a corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10 is provided inside the protective plate 8, and a fiber reinforcement layer 11 is bonded to the bottom of the corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10. The protective pads 6, the fender body 5, and the bolts 4 are all coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0029] Specifically, when a vessel approaches a dock equipped with this rubber fender or comes into contact with other vessels, it first contacts the protective pad 6 on the front side of the protective plate 8. Because the protective pad 6 is semi-circular, its shape design allows the vessel to interact with the fender relatively smoothly at the moment of contact, dispersing contact stress and reducing damage to the vessel and fender caused by excessive local pressure. Simultaneously, the anti-corrosion coating on the outer periphery of the protective pad 6 resists the erosion of external corrosive media, extending its service life. Next, the impact force is transferred to the protective plate 8. The corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10 inside the protective plate 8 plays a crucial role; its special material effectively buffers a portion of the impact force, and its excellent corrosion resistance prevents corrosive substances from penetrating the protective plate 8 and damaging the fender body 5. The fiber reinforcement layer 11 bonded to the bottom of the corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10 further enhances the overall strength of the protective plate 8, making it less prone to deformation or damage when subjected to impact. Subsequently, the remaining impact force acts on the fender body 5. The trapezoidal design of the fender body 5 allows it to better distribute impact forces in all directions, reducing concentrated stress points. The hollow structure inside the fender body 5 reduces its weight to some extent while providing space for deformation to cushion impacts. The intersecting reinforcing plates 7 significantly improve the structural strength of the fender body 5, ensuring its overall shape and performance stability even under repeated impacts. Multiple evenly distributed drainage holes 9 on the outer perimeter of the reinforcing plates 7 and one side wall of the fender body 5 promptly drain any liquid that may enter the fender body 5, preventing corrosion or other damage caused by water accumulation and ensuring a relatively stable internal environment.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The mounting plate 1 serves as the installation base for the entire rubber fender. It achieves a stable connection with the installation location, such as a dock or ship, through mounting grooves 3 evenly spaced around its perimeter and threaded bolts 4. During installation, a gasket 2 is placed over the bolts 4 and abuts against the outer sleeve of the mounting plate 1 to ensure tightness and stability, preventing loosening due to external forces during use. When a ship approaches a dock equipped with this rubber fender or comes into contact with other ships, it first contacts the protective pad 6 on the front side of the protective plate 8. Because the protective pad 6 is semi-circular, its shape design allows the ship to smoothly interact with the fender upon contact, dispersing contact stress and reducing damage to the ship and fender caused by excessive local pressure. Simultaneously, the anti-corrosion coating on the outer periphery of the protective pad 6 resists the erosion of external corrosive media, extending its service life. Next, the impact force is transmitted to the protective plate 8. The corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10 inside the protective plate 8 plays a crucial role. Its special material effectively buffers a portion of the impact force, and its excellent corrosion resistance prevents corrosive substances from penetrating the protective plate 8 and damaging the fender body 5. The fiber reinforcement layer 11 bonded to the bottom of the corrosion-resistant buffer layer 10 further enhances the overall strength of the protective plate 8, making it less prone to deformation or damage when subjected to impact. Subsequently, the remaining impact force acts on the fender body 5. The trapezoidal structural design of the fender body 5 allows it to better disperse and transmit the impact force in all directions when subjected to force, reducing concentrated stress points. The hollow structure inside the fender body 5 reduces its weight to some extent, while providing a certain amount of space for deformation to buffer the impact force. The intersecting reinforcing plates 7 inside greatly improve the structural strength of the fender body 5, ensuring that it can maintain its overall shape and performance stability under repeated impacts. Multiple evenly distributed drainage holes 9 on the outer periphery of the reinforcing plate 7 and one side wall of the fender body 5 can promptly drain liquids that may enter the interior of the fender body 5, avoiding corrosion or other damage caused by water accumulation and ensuring the relative stability of the internal environment of the fender body 5.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
