Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine electronic application technology, and more specifically, to a marine transportation positioning and tracking device. Background Technology

[0002] Maritime positioning and tracking devices play a vital role in maritime transport. Through advanced technology, they can provide real-time and accurate information such as a ship's position, course, and speed, thereby ensuring navigational safety, optimizing route planning, and improving transport efficiency. In addition, in the event of a ship accident or emergency, positioning and tracking devices can quickly provide accurate location information, providing important reference for rescue operations. Rescue personnel can use this information to quickly locate and reach the accident site and take appropriate rescue measures.

[0003] Currently, to ensure the reliability of power supply for maritime transportation positioning and tracking devices, diesel engines are often used to provide power input to generators, and the electrical energy generated by the generators is stored in batteries to power the maritime transportation positioning and tracking devices. For example, a wear-resistant wire guide device for a stranding machine, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215643862U, can reduce the frictional resistance between the wire and the wire guide hole, and avoid direct contact between the wire and the wire guide hole, which can cause wear.

[0004] However, in actual use, it was found that in order to provide accurate positioning, multiple sensors and signal transmitters need to be connected, which results in high power consumption when the positioning and tracking device is working. The cost of powering the generator with a diesel engine is also high, resulting in poor economic efficiency of the maritime transportation positioning and tracking device. Furthermore, when the ship's engine and backup generator fail, the smooth operation of the maritime transportation positioning and tracking device cannot be effectively guaranteed.

[0005] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, the applicant needs to design a maritime transportation positioning and tracking device to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a maritime transportation positioning and tracking device. By using the slight swaying of the ship during navigation to generate electricity stably, it solves the problems of high cost caused by diesel engines powering generators and the inability to effectively guarantee the normal use of maritime transportation positioning and tracking devices when diesel engines malfunction.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a marine transportation positioning and tracking device, including a base plate and a high-precision positioning tracker. The high-precision positioning tracker is attached to the surface of the base plate. The device also includes a drive component, a main power supply component, and wires. The drive component is attached to the surface of the high-precision positioning tracker, the main power supply component is attached to the surface of the drive component, and the wires connect the main power supply component and the high-precision positioning tracker.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a water storage frame, a top cover, a rotating frame, a connecting frame, an upper baffle, and a lower baffle. The water storage frame is fitted onto the surface of the high-precision positioning tracker. The top cover is sealed onto the top of the water storage frame. The rotating frame is rotatably fitted onto the inner circumference of the water storage frame. The connecting frame is installed between the inner circumferences of the rotating frame. The upper and lower baffles are arranged in a ring array about the center of the rotating frame on the inner circumference of the rotating frame, and the axis of the rotating frame is not located on the plane where the upper and lower baffles are located.

[0009] Preferably, the main power supply component includes a rotating shaft, a power generation coil, a counterweight, a permanent magnet block, and a shielding frame. The shielding frame is fitted onto the surface of the top cover. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted between the top and bottom of the shielding frame, with the bottom of the rotating shaft extending into the water outlet frame. The bottom end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the connecting frame. The power generation coil is mounted on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft. The counterweight is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft that passes through the top end of the shielding frame. The permanent magnet blocks are evenly distributed and fitted onto the inner periphery of the shielding frame.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting ring located on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft is installed on the inner bottom surface of the shielding frame, and multiple limiting grooves are opened on the inner periphery of the limiting ring. A telescopic block adapted to the limiting grooves is telescopically installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a gap is provided between the upper baffle and the lower baffle, and the bottom of the lower baffle is flush with the bottom of the rotating frame, and the top of the connecting frame is flush with the top of the rotating frame.

[0012] Preferably, a protective cover is fitted onto the surface of the shielding frame, and the protective cover is located outside the counterweight.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When used, this utility model is installed at a high position on a ship. Through the set drive component and main power supply component, when the ship is sailing at sea, it will sway slightly due to the action of waves. Because the installation position is high, the distance between the drive component and the sea surface is large, so the relative sway amplitude is larger. The filling liquid, under the action of swaying, drives the rotating frame to rotate counterclockwise through the upper and lower baffles, thereby providing power to the main power supply component to generate electricity, which in turn powers the high-precision positioning tracker. There is no need to use the diesel engine as a power input to power the high-precision positioning tracker, thereby reducing the cost of use. It also ensures the normal use of the high-precision positioning tracker when the diesel engine fails, ensuring the positioning and rescue capability of the ship in emergency situations.

[0015] 2. The main power supply component of this utility model, under the action of the counterweight, limiting ring, limiting groove and telescopic block, can not only limit the rotation direction of the rotating shaft and ensure that the generator coil stably generates current, but also increase the rotational inertia of the rotating shaft. Thus, when the shaking is reduced, the generator coil can continue to rotate under the action of inertia so as to continuously generate current for the high-precision positioning tracker.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a marine transportation positioning and tracking device, including a base plate 1, a high-precision positioning tracker 2, the high-precision positioning tracker 2 being mounted on the surface of the base plate 1, a drive assembly 3, a main power supply assembly 4, and a wire 6. The drive assembly 3 is mounted on the surface of the high-precision positioning tracker 2, and the main power supply assembly 4 is mounted on the surface of the drive assembly 3. The drive assembly 3 and the main power supply assembly 4 are connected in a transmission manner. When the ship is swaying at sea, by mounting the base plate 1 at a high position on the ship, the swaying amplitude of the ship is amplified, thereby driving the drive assembly 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the main power supply assembly 4 to rotate and supply power to the high-precision positioning tracker 2. The wire 6 is connected between the main power supply assembly 4 and the high-precision positioning tracker 2.

[0025] As one implementation method of this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 3 includes a water storage frame 31, a top cover 32, a rotating frame 33, a connecting frame 34, an upper baffle 35, and a lower baffle 36. The water storage frame 31 is fitted onto the surface of the high-precision positioning tracker 2. The top cover 32 is sealed onto the top of the water storage frame 31. The rotating frame 33 is rotatably fitted onto the inner circumference of the water storage frame 31. The water storage frame 31 is filled with liquid that is not yet full. The connecting frame 34 is installed between the inner circumferences of the rotating frame 33. The upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36 are arranged in a ring array about the center of the rotating frame 33. The inner circumference of the moving frame 33, and the axis of the rotating frame 33 is not on the plane where the upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36 are located. There is a gap between the upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36, and the bottom of the lower baffle 36 is flush with the bottom of the rotating frame 33. The top of the connecting frame 34 is flush with the top of the rotating frame 33. When the liquid shakes, since the upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36 are both inclined, when the water flows counterclockwise, the rotating frame 33 will be driven to rotate counterclockwise under the interception of the upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36.

[0026] As one implementation method of this embodiment, refer to Figure 4The main power supply component 4 includes a rotating shaft 41, a power generation coil 42, a counterweight 43, a permanent magnet 44, and a shielding frame 45. The shielding frame 45 is fitted to the surface of the top cover 32. The rotating shaft 41 is rotatably mounted between the top and bottom of the shielding frame 45, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 41 extends into the water outlet frame. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 41 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 34. The power generation coil 42 is mounted on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 41. The counterweight 43 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the top end of the rotating shaft 41 that passes through the shielding frame 45. The permanent magnet 44 is evenly distributed and fitted to the inner periphery of the shielding frame 45. When the rotating shaft 41 drives the power generation coil 42 to rotate, the generated current is transmitted to the high-precision positioning tracker 2 through the wire 6.

[0027] As one implementation method of this embodiment, refer to Figure 5 A limiting ring 46 located on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 41 is installed on the bottom surface inside the shielding frame 45. Multiple limiting grooves 461 are opened on the inner periphery of the limiting ring 46. A telescopic block 47 adapted to the limiting groove 461 is telescopically installed on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 41. A protective cover 5 is attached to the surface of the shielding frame 45 and is located outside the counterweight 43. Under the action of the limiting groove 461 and the telescopic block 47, the rotating shaft 41 can only rotate counterclockwise in one direction. When the water flows clockwise, the rotating frame 33 is prevented from rotating counterclockwise under the action of the limiting groove 461 and the telescopic tube, thereby ensuring that the generator coil 42 generates a stable current.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the base plate 1 is fixed at a high point on the ship. When the ship is sailing at sea, it will inevitably be affected by the waves and sway. When the ship sways from side to side, the water filled in the water storage frame 31 will flow against the inner circumference of the rotating frame 33. When the water flows counterclockwise, the upper baffle 35 and the lower baffle 36 cause the rotating frame 33 to rotate against the inner circumference of the water storage frame 31. In turn, the rotating frame 33 drives the rotating shaft 41 and the generator coil 42 to rotate through the connecting frame 34. The current generated by the movement of the permanent magnet block 44 cutting the magnetic field lines powers the high-precision positioning tracker 2. When rotating counterclockwise, the telescopic block 47 continuously retracts and extends between the adjacent limiting grooves 461. When the water flows clockwise, the telescopic block 47 is stuck in the limiting groove 461, which prevents the rotating shaft 41 from driving the power generation coil 42 to rotate clockwise. Under the action of the counterweight block 43, the rotating shaft 41 has strong inertia after rotating counterclockwise, thereby ensuring that the power generation coil 42 generates electricity stably.

[0029] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
