Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fixed anchors, and in particular to a fixed anchor for light buoys. Background Technology

[0002] A fixed anchor is a device specifically designed to permanently position floating vessels such as light buoys, lightships, or engineering vessels in a specific body of water.

[0003] A dedicated anchor for light buoys is a device used to stably fix light buoys in a specific position.

[0004] Existing dedicated anchors for light buoys have the following shortcomings:

[0005] The coastal waters are complex, and due to the influence of cold air and tides, some navigation marks frequently drift, posing a threat to navigation and ship safety. Furthermore, the annual cost of towing and repositioning these marks is substantial. In most cases, fixed anchors are used to secure the buoys, but current technology involves cumbersome steps in connecting gravity anchors to buoys, with each disassembly and reassembly taking considerable time. This increases maintenance costs and hinders the efficiency of emergency response to navigation marks. A more convenient and efficient connection technology is urgently needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention significantly shortens disassembly and assembly time, improves maintenance efficiency, and reduces labor costs and time costs for emergency response to navigation aids, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a special fixed anchor for light buoys, including a fixing mechanism, the inner wall of which is slidably connected with a connecting structure; the fixing mechanism includes a buoy body, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected with a fixing plate, the inner wall of which is slidably connected with a movable plate, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected with an insert block, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected with a sliding rod, the outer wall of which is sleeved with a compression spring, the top of which is fixedly connected with a pull block, and the inner wall of which is slidably connected with a slider. Through the above components, the gravity anchor can be quickly connected to the buoy body, the steps are simple, and the connection is relatively efficient.

[0008] Preferably, a fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the buoy body, and reflective strips are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder. By reflecting light, such as ship lights and natural light, the buoy body can still be identified from a distance in poor visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, and heavy rain, which helps ship drivers to quickly locate the position of the navigation mark, determine the channel boundary or dangerous area, and avoid risks such as running aground or deviating from the course.

[0009] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cylinder, and a lifting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the handle, so that the user can easily lift the whole thing by means of the handle.

[0010] Preferably, the shaft end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate, one end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate, so that the two ends of the compression spring are connected to ensure that it can be used normally in the future.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixed plate is fixedly connected with a first limiting rod, and the outer wall of the first limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider. By setting the first limiting rod, the stability of the slider when sliding back and forth in the fixed plate can be improved.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of each fixed plate, and a set of second limiting rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block. The outer wall of the second limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pull block. By setting the connecting block and the second limiting rod, the stability of the pull block when moving back and forth can be improved, indirectly ensuring the normal movement of the movable plate and the insert block.

[0013] Preferably, the connection structure includes a connection frame, a set of connection plates is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connection frame, an anchor chain is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connection plates, a gravity anchor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the anchor chain, and the inner wall of the connection frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the insert block. The connection frame facilitates the user to connect the gravity anchor to the fixing mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the connection and disassembly of the gravity anchor and the buoy body can be quickly realized through the components such as the movable plate, the insert block, the compression spring, the slider, and the first limit rod in the fixing mechanism. This simplifies the operation steps, greatly shortens the disassembly and assembly time, improves maintenance efficiency, reduces labor costs and navigation beacon emergency response time costs, and ensures the stability of the movement of the movable plate and the insert block through the cooperative design of the slider and the compression spring, thus ensuring the reliability of the connection structure.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the reflective strip on the outer wall of the top fixing cylinder of the buoy body can reflect ship lights, natural light, etc., to enhance the visibility of the buoy in low light or bad weather conditions such as darkness, fog, and heavy rain. The first limiting rod improves the sliding stability of the slider, and the second limiting rod cooperates with the connecting block to enhance the moving stability of the pull block, indirectly ensuring the normal operation of the movable plate and the insert block, and improving the stability of the overall structure. The handle and lifting ring design on the top of the fixing cylinder makes it easy for users to lift or hoist the whole device, reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a special fixed anchor for light buoys, including a fixing mechanism 1, with a connecting structure 2 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing mechanism 1; the fixing mechanism 1 includes a buoy body 101, with a fixing plate 104 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buoy body 101, a movable plate 111 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 104, an insert block 110 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 111, a sliding rod 112 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 104, a compression spring 113 sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 112, a pull block 109 fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 111, and a slider 115 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 104. Through the above components, the gravity anchor 204 can be quickly connected to the buoy body 101, the steps are simple, and the connection is relatively efficient.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fixed cylinder 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the buoy body 101. Reflective strips 103 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 102. Through the reflection of light, such as ship lights and natural light, the buoy body 101 can still be identified from a distance under poor visibility conditions such as darkness, fog, and heavy rain. This helps ship operators to quickly locate the position of the navigation mark, determine the boundary of the channel or dangerous area, and avoid risks such as running aground or deviating from the course.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a handle 105 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cylinder 102, and a hanging ring 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 105. The handle 105 makes it convenient for the user to lift the whole unit.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the shaft end of the slide rod 112 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 111, one end of the compression spring 113 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 111, and the other end of the compression spring 113 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 104, so that the two ends of the compression spring 113 are connected to ensure that it can be used normally in the future.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the fixed plate 104 is fixedly connected with a first limiting rod 114. The outer wall of the first limiting rod 114 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 115. By setting the first limiting rod 114, the stability of the slider 115 when sliding back and forth in the fixed plate 104 can be improved.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, a connecting block 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 104. A set of second limiting rods 108 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 107. The outer wall of the second limiting rod 108 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pull block 109. By setting the connecting block 107 and the second limiting rod 108, the stability of the pull block 109 when moving back and forth can be improved, which indirectly ensures the normal movement of the movable plate 111 and the insert block 110.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the connection structure 2 includes a connection frame 201. A set of connection plates 202 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connection frame 201. An anchor chain 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connection plate 202. A gravity anchor 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the anchor chain 203. The inner wall of the connection frame 201 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the insert block 110. The connection frame 201 facilitates the user to connect the gravity anchor 204 to the fixing mechanism 1.

[0032] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, align the connecting frame 201 in the connecting structure 2 with the gap between the multiple fixed plates 104 in the fixing mechanism 1 to prepare for connection. The user applies force to the pull block 109, causing the movable plate 111 to move in the opposite direction within the fixed plate 104. Simultaneously, the movable plate 111 slides along the slide rod 112 and compresses the compression spring 113. At this time, the insert block 110, which is fixedly connected to the movable plate 111, is also moved along with the force, making room for the connecting frame 201 to enter. After the connecting frame 201 is completely inserted into the gap between the fixed plates 104, the user releases the pull block 109. The compressed compression spring 113 releases its elasticity, pushing the movable plate 111 back to its original position along the slide rod 112, causing the insert block 110 to forcefully engage in the inner wall of the connecting frame 201, thus achieving gravity anchor 2. 04 is quickly fixed to the buoy body 101. During this process, the first limiting rod 114 restricts the movement direction of the slider 115 to ensure the stability of the sliding plate 111 and avoid deviation. The second limiting rod 108 cooperates with the connecting block 107 to provide a guide track for the pull block 109, ensuring its movement trajectory is accurate and indirectly ensuring the engagement accuracy of the insert block 110 and the connecting frame 201. Through the elastic reset mechanism of the compression spring 113 and the dual action of the mechanical limiting component, the fixed anchor not only realizes the three-step quick connection of pulling, entering and releasing, but also improves the connection reliability through physical structure limitation. It can effectively cope with the needs of buoy fixing under complex sea conditions along the coast, greatly shorten the time spent on disassembling and assembling the traditional gravity anchor 204, and reduce maintenance costs and emergency response time.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
