Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber fender technology, and more specifically, to a rubber fender with anti-collision and buffering capabilities. Background Technology
[0002] Rubber fenders are devices used to protect the hull and dock when a ship is berthed. Their main function is to absorb collision forces and reduce the impact between the ship and the dock, protecting the ship and the dock from damage.
[0003] Existing rubber fenders are mainly made of rubber materials. However, due to their simple structure, they usually rely on the rigid body to bear the impact between the ship and the dock, which is difficult to effectively disperse the impact force. At the same time, the tensile strength of rubber materials is low, and they are prone to large deformation under strong impact force, which can lead to their own breakage. This affects the protection effect and reduces the service life.
[0004] Based on this, a rubber fender with anti-collision and buffering capabilities is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rubber fender with anti-collision and buffering capabilities to overcome the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rubber fender with anti-collision and buffering capabilities, including a fixed base, a fender pillow fixedly provided in the middle of the upper surface of the fixed base, a plurality of buffer openings being provided through the upper parts of both sides of the outer surface of the fender pillow, a triangular buffer pillow being movably installed through the middle of the inner surface of the plurality of buffer openings, and air fender pillows being fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the fixed base.
[0007] Several support rods are evenly fixed on the upper part of the front and rear ends of the outer surface of the fender pillow. Limiting rings are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the other end of each support rod. An "A"-shaped support frame is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower surface of the limiting ring. One end of the lower surface of the support frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed seat, and the other end of the lower surface of the support frame is fixedly provided with a support seat.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the four corners of the upper surface of the fixed base are provided with first mounting holes, and the two sides of the upper surface of the support base are provided with second mounting holes.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower parts of both sides of the outer surface of the fender pillow are provided with extrusion openings, and the middle of the front end and rear end of the outer surface of the fender pillow are both provided with limiting blocks.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower parts of the outer surfaces of the air bolsters that are close to each other are connected to a compression bladder, the compression bladder is inserted into the compression port, and the middle parts of the outer surfaces of the air bolsters that are far apart are fixedly provided with air valve ports.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a support block is fixedly provided on the side of the support frame near the outer surface of the fender pillow, and the upper surface of the support block is in contact with the lower surface of the limiting block.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention can disperse and buffer the impact force when receiving impacts between ships and docks, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive deformation and breakage of the rubber fender due to concentrated impact force. At the same time, dispersing and buffering the impact force can improve the stability of the rubber fender when used for buffering between ships and docks, which is beneficial to improving the support effect and extending the service life.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of the utility model described herein.

[0024] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments; it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a rubber fender with anti-collision and buffering capabilities includes a fixed base 1. The four corners of the upper surface of the fixed base 1 are provided with first mounting holes 101. A fender pillow 2 is fixedly provided in the middle of the upper surface of the fixed base 1. Several buffer openings 201 are provided through the upper parts of both sides of the outer surface of the fender pillow 2. A triangular buffer pillow 203 is movably installed through the middle of the inner surface of the several buffer openings 201. An extrusion opening 202 is provided through the lower parts of both sides of the outer surface of the fender pillow 2. A limiting block 204 is fixedly provided in the middle of the front end and rear end of the outer surface of the fender pillow 2.
[0026] It should be noted that the first mounting hole 101 is used in conjunction with the fixing component to complete the installation connection between the fixing seat 1 and the dock or ship. When the ship comes into contact with the dock, the fender bolster 2 is used to initially buffer the impact force between the ship and the dock. At this time, the fender bolster 2 can start to deform under pressure, which causes the buffer opening 201 to deform. The deformed buffer opening 201 can then come into contact with the buffer pillow 203, and the buffer pillow 203 supports the deformed buffer opening 201, thereby reducing the deformation amplitude of the buffer opening 201 and improving the support and buffering effect of the fender bolster 2.
[0027] On both sides of the upper surface of the fixed base 1, air bolsters 3 are fixedly installed. The lower part of the side of the outer surface of the air bolsters 3 that is close to each other is connected to a compression bladder 301. The compression bladder 301 is inserted into the compression port 202. The middle part of the side of the outer surface of the air bolsters 3 that is far apart is fixedly provided with an air valve port 302.
[0028] It should be noted that as the pressure on the fender bolster 2 continues to increase, its deformation range gradually increases, thereby squeezing the compression port 202 and causing it to deform. At this time, the deformed compression port 202 can squeeze the compression bladder 301 installed therein. When the compression bladder 301 is deformed by force, the gas inside it will move towards the air bolsters 3 installed on both sides and cause the air bolsters 3 to expand. Under this situation, the expanded air bolsters 3 can be used to further distribute the pressure on the fender bolster 2, so as to reduce the deformation range of the fender bolster 2 and provide a better support effect.
[0029] Several support rods 4 are evenly fixed on the upper part of the front and rear ends of the outer surface of the fender pillow 2. Limiting rings 401 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the other end of the support rods 4. A support frame 402 in the shape of "A" is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower surface of the limiting ring 401. One end of the lower surface of the support frame 402 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed seat 1. The other end of the lower surface of the support frame 402 is fixedly installed with a support seat 404. A second assembly hole 405 is opened through both sides of the upper surface of the support seat 404. A support block 403 is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame 402 near the outer surface of the fender pillow 2. The upper surface of the support block 403 is in contact with the lower surface of the limiting block 204.
[0030] It should be noted that the second mounting hole 405 is used in conjunction with the fixing components to complete the installation connection between the support base 404 and the dock or ship. When the ship comes into contact with the dock, the fender bolster 2 is used to initially buffer the impact force between the ship and the dock. At the same time, the support rod 4 will simultaneously bear the impact force received by the fender bolster 2. At this time, several support rods 4 are used to distribute the impact force, and the support frame 402 provides buffer support, so as to reduce the pressure on the fender bolster 2 and improve the support effect.
[0031] Meanwhile, during the process of the fender pillow 2 being deformed by the impact force, it will show a tendency to expand outward. At this time, the limiting blocks 204 set at both ends will squeeze the support block 403, thereby using the support block 403 to provide support for the limiting block 204, so as to limit the extent of the fender pillow 2 expanding outward, enhance the compressive strength of the fender pillow 2, and improve the support effect.
[0032] In use, this utility model firstly completes the installation connection between the fixed base 1 and the dock or ship by using the first mounting hole 101 and the fixing component, and completes the installation connection between the support base 404 and the dock or ship by using the second mounting hole 405 and the fixing component. When the ship comes into contact with the dock, the impact force is supported and buffered by the fender pillow 2. At this time, the fender pillow 2 can start to deform under the pressure, which causes the buffer opening 201 to deform. At the same time, the deformed buffer opening 201 can come into contact with the buffer pillow 203, and the buffer pillow 203 supports the deformed buffer opening 201, thereby reducing the deformation range of the buffer opening 201 and improving the support and buffering effect of the fender pillow 2.
[0033] Secondly, when the fender bolster 2 supports and buffers the impact force between the ship and the dock, the support rod 4 will simultaneously bear the impact force received by the fender bolster 2. At this time, the impact force is distributed by several support rods 4 and buffered and supported by the support frame 402. At the same time, during the deformation of the fender bolster 2 under the impact force, it will show a tendency to expand and deform outward. At this time, the limiting blocks 204 set at both ends will squeeze the support block 403, thereby using the support block 403 to support the limiting block 204, so as to limit the extent of the expansion and deformation of the fender bolster 2 outward and enhance the compressive strength of the fender bolster 2.
[0034] Finally, as the pressure on the fender bolster 2 continues to increase, its deformation amplitude increases, causing the compression port 202 to deform. At this time, the deformed compression port 202 can compress the compression bladder 301 installed therein. Under this condition, the gas inside the compression bladder 301 will move towards the air bolsters 3 installed on both sides and cause the air bolsters 3 to expand. The expanded air bolsters 3 provide support between the ship and the dock, further distributing the pressure on the fender bolster 2 and improving the support strength of the fender bolster 2.
[0035] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
