Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of port shore power facilities, and more specifically, to a vertical shore power box moving and operating support device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the global shipping industry and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more ports are equipping themselves with shore power facilities to provide electricity to ships berthed in order to reduce fuel consumption and emissions during berthing. However, many ports have significant water level differences, with water level changes potentially reaching several meters or even tens of meters. This poses a serious challenge to traditional fixed shore power facilities when docking with ships of different types and sizes.

[0003] In existing technologies, shore power boxes are typically designed as fixed structures or have only limited height adjustment capabilities, making it difficult to cope with large water level differences. This not only makes power connection difficult but also increases equipment wear and shortens the service life of the facility. Furthermore, the inability of shore power boxes to stably connect to the ship's power interface presents significant operational challenges and safety hazards. Insufficient operational stability: Existing mobile power connection platforms have simple guiding and constraint structures, making it difficult to effectively limit the platform's sliding and rotation in the horizontal plane, leading to deviations and swaying during operation, affecting the safety and efficiency of power connection. A conflict between structural strength and lightweight design: To improve structural rigidity, existing equipment often uses heavy materials, increasing the overall weight of the equipment and hindering hoisting and installation. Simultaneously, the unoptimized design is prone to deformation under complex operating conditions (such as large water level differences or high loads), affecting the long-term performance of the equipment. Complex maintenance and replacement: Traditional equipment designs do not fully consider modularity; the disassembly and replacement of key components such as slider assemblies and mounting brackets are complex, increasing the difficulty and cost of equipment maintenance. Poor environmental adaptability: Port environments are highly variable, such as high humidity, salt spray corrosion, and temperature variations, which can cause slides, tracks, and mounting frames to wear and rust easily, thereby reducing the service life and reliability of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a vertical shore power box moving and operating support device, which can effectively adapt to different water level changes, realize stable docking between ships and shore power facilities, ensure safe and reliable power supply process, and improve the reliability and safety of port shore power facilities.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a vertical shore power box moving and operating support device is constructed, including a guide frame and a mobile power connection platform; the guide frame is set on the side near the ship pier and supports the mobile power connection platform in the vertical direction; a moving component is set on the side of the mobile power connection platform; a slider assembly is provided on the moving component; a double track is provided on the guide frame; the slider assembly slides along the double track; the slider assembly includes two Y-axis sliders and one X-axis slider; the Y-axis sliders are installed on both sides of the track and are used to limit vertical movement; the X-axis slider is arranged at the bottom of the platform and is used to limit horizontal displacement.

[0006] In the above scheme, the dual tracks are arranged vertically along the guide frame.

[0007] In the above scheme, the dual tracks are set at the eccentric position of the guide frame.

[0008] In the above scheme, the track cross-section of the dual track is a combination of H-shaped and [-shaped].

[0009] In the above scheme, the track-side flange plates of the dual tracks are provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0010] In the above scheme, the guide frame is an H-type or T-type structure.

[0011] In the above scheme, the slider is mounted on a slider mounting frame, which includes two horizontal bars and two vertical bars fixed to each other in a square shape, and channel steel is vertically arranged at the joint of the horizontal bars and vertical bars.

[0012] In the above scheme, the upper end of the crossbar is provided with stiffening plates and lifting lugs.

[0013] The vertical moving and operating support device for the shore power box of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model has high stability. Through the multi-dimensional constraint design of the slider group, it solves the problem of shaking and offset during the operation of the mobile power connection platform.

[0015] 2. This utility model has good adaptability. The slider material and mounting frame design are adapted to the special environmental conditions of ports, and have strong corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

[0038] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1-15 As shown, the vertical moving and operating support device for the shore power box of this utility model includes a guide frame 1 and a mobile power connection platform 3. The guide frame 1 is located on the side near the ship pier and supports the mobile power connection platform 3 vertically. A moving component 8 is provided on the side of the mobile power connection platform 3, and a slider assembly is provided on the moving component 8. The guide frame 1 is provided with double rails 2, and the slider assembly slides along the double rails 2. The slider assembly includes a slider base 7, two Y-axis sliders 5 and one X-axis slider 4. The Y-axis sliders 5 are installed on both sides of the rails and are used to limit vertical movement, while the X-axis slider 4 is arranged at the bottom of the platform and is used to limit horizontal displacement.

[0040] The mobile power connection platform 3 is installed on the double rails 2, achieving stable vertical movement through rail guidance. A rotating component 8 is located on one side of the platform, cooperating with the double rails 2 to ensure stable vertical movement of the platform. The rotating component 8 is connected to the frame of the mobile power connection platform 3 via a connecting channel steel 10, forming a single unit. The connecting channel steel 10 is positioned between the connecting rod 9 of the telescopic ladder guide frame 1 and the frame of the mobile power connection platform 3, and the two are welded together as a single unit. The connection method is as follows: Figure 15 As shown.

[0041] The slider group employs a three-slider arrangement, with one slider restricting movement along the X-axis and two sliders restricting movement along the Y-axis, achieving stability control in three-dimensional space. The sliders cooperate with the double rails 2 of the guide frame 1, effectively reducing platform sway during movement. The slider group is arranged as follows: each group includes two Y-axis sliders 5 and one X-axis slider 4. The Y-axis sliders 5 are installed on both sides of the rails to restrict the platform's vertical movement, increasing its anti-overturning capability; the X-axis slider 4 is located at the bottom of the platform to restrict its horizontal displacement, ensuring smooth movement on the rails. A certain gap is reserved between each slider and the rail contact surface to reduce friction and make the platform run more smoothly.

[0042] The Y-axis slider 5 and X-axis slider 4 are made of a low-friction coefficient material to reduce running resistance and extend service life. The contact surfaces between the sliders and the track are made of wear-resistant material to ensure stability and reliability during long-term operation.

[0043] Furthermore, the double tracks 2 are arranged vertically along the guide frame 1. To adapt to environments with large water level differences, the double track 2 structure is positioned eccentrically on the guide frame 1. This arrangement reduces the complexity of the overall device and simplifies construction. The eccentric design not only reduces the weight of the guide frame 1 but also maintains the platform's stable movement under conditions of large water level differences. This arrangement, by setting sliders at different locations on the tracks, achieves multi-directional constraints on the mobile power connection platform 3, ensuring the platform maintains docking stability under different water levels.

[0044] Furthermore, to improve structural stiffness, a combination of H-shaped and [-shaped] sections was selected for the track cross-section. The H-shaped track structure increases longitudinal and lateral stiffness, thereby enhancing the overall strength and bending resistance of the track.

[0045] Furthermore, to further increase the strength of the track, reinforcing ribs are installed on the side flanges, enabling the track to withstand larger overturning moments and preventing the mobile platform from tilting during vertical movement. This design structure allows the guide frame 1 and the double tracks 2 to more stably support the mobile power-connecting platform 3, ensuring that it will not shift under conditions of large water level differences.

[0046] Furthermore, the guide frame 1 has an H-shaped or T-shaped structure. It serves as the main supporting component of the shore power box mobile platform. The guide frame 1 is installed on the side of the mooring pier, supporting the mobile power connection platform 3 vertically. The guide frame 1 not only provides vertical support but also limits the lateral displacement of the platform through the rails, ensuring the stability of the equipment under different water level conditions. The guide frame 1 maintains the stability of the mobile power connection platform 3 during vertical movement and mainly consists of rails and rail support rods. The double rails 2 are made of H-beams, model HW150×150, to meet the operational requirements of the mobile power connection platform 3 under large water level differences. The guide rails are connected to the mooring pier through a steel pipe support rod system. Each rail forms a triangle with the mooring pier to facilitate a stable connection.

[0047] This utility model features a double track 2 arranged vertically along the guide frame 1. The track cross-section is designed as an H-shape or [-shape] to accommodate the eccentric arrangement structure. The track is installed on one side of the guide frame 1, and the eccentric arrangement helps reduce the overall weight and complexity. The guide frame 1 adopts a double track 2 layout, which ensures that the shore power box remains stable during vertical movement.

[0048] Furthermore, the slider is mounted on the slider mounting frame 6, which includes two horizontal bars 602 and two vertical bars 603 fixed together in a square configuration. A channel steel 601 is vertically positioned at the junction of the horizontal bars 602 and vertical bars 603. A stiffening plate 605 and a lifting lug 606 are provided at the upper end of the horizontal bars 602. The slider mounting frame 6 is an integrated structure formed by welding the channel steel 601, vertical bars 603, horizontal bars 602, stiffening plate 605, and slider assembly mounting panel 604. The slider assembly mounting panel 604 has bolt holes for slider assembly installation. The slider assembly mounting frame 6 has the following key features: the channel steel main structure provides high rigidity and strength; the stiffening plate design enhances overall bending resistance and improves load-bearing capacity; the slider assembly mounting panel is equipped with bolt holes to accommodate different slider models, enhancing versatility; and two lifting lugs 606 are arranged symmetrically on the stiffening plate of the upper slider assembly mounting panel 604 for easy lifting and installation. The dedicated panel design for slider installation improves layout accuracy and meets the installation requirements of sliders of various specifications.
