AI Technical Summary
Traditional mast lifting requires manual operation, which is labor-intensive and poses safety hazards, especially when the mast passes over a bridge, potentially causing it to collide with the bridge.
The ship mast adopts an intelligent integrated automatic lifting mast, which uses infrared or ultrasonic sensors, lidar or visual sensors to detect obstacles. Combined with a hydraulic system and scissor lift, it realizes automatic lifting and lowering of the mast, and is equipped with a manual lifting support adjustment device for emergency height adjustment.
It reduces the workload of crew members, improves navigation safety, and ensures that the mast is automatically or manually adjusted when the bridge passes to avoid collisions.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ship masts, specifically an intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast. Background Technology
[0002] According to relevant regulations, all ships are equipped with masts, which are generally installed at the centerline of the highest point of the ship's canopy. These masts are used to mount radar, navigation lights, and communication antennas, and are crucial safety facilities for navigation. Mast structures typically include single-mast and tower types. When ships navigate inland rivers or other waterways, especially those with bridges, if a ship's mast is higher than the bridge, it needs to be lowered to allow the ship to pass smoothly. After passing the bridge, the mast must be raised. Traditional mast raising and lowering requires crew operation, which is labor-intensive. If the crew misjudges the ship's distance from the bridge or forgets to operate the mast raising or lowering, a collision between the mast and the bridge may occur, affecting navigational safety.
[0003] In conclusion, in order to reduce the labor intensity of crew members and improve navigation safety, it is necessary to design an intelligent integrated automatic lifting mast for ships. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing an intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast. This intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast has a cleverly designed structure that can automatically sense and raise / lower, reducing the labor intensity of crew members and improving navigation safety.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast includes a base and a lifting slide. A support cylinder is vertically fixed on the base, and a guide seat is located at the top of the support cylinder. The lifting slide is vertically slidably installed within the guide seat. A top frame is connected to the bottom of the lifting slide. The bottom of the top frame is connected to a base frame via a scissor-type lifting frame controlled by a lifting cylinder. A manual lifting support adjustment device is connected to the bottom of the base frame for emergency height adjustment of the mast. An infrared sensor is installed at the top of the lifting slide, and the infrared sensor is connected to a controller, which is also connected to the hydraulic system of the lifting cylinder. The infrared sensor can be replaced by an ultrasonic sensor, lidar, or a visual sensor.
[0007] The manual lifting support adjustment device can be configured in various forms, and a further preferred form is as follows: The manual lifting support adjustment device includes a manual screw jack, which is fixedly installed on the base at the bottom of the base frame via a mounting bracket.

[0015] To provide a more detailed description of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Example 1
[0016] An intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast includes a base 1 and a lifting slide rod 16. A support cylinder seat 10 is vertically fixed on the base 1, and a guide seat 15 is provided on the top of the support cylinder seat 10. The lifting slide rod 16 is vertically slidably installed in the guide seat 15. The bottom end of the lifting slide rod 16 is connected to a top frame 14. The bottom of the top frame 14 is connected to a base frame 11 through a scissor-type lifting frame 13 controlled by a lifting cylinder 12. A manual lifting support adjustment device is connected to the bottom of the base frame 11. An infrared sensor 17 is installed on the top of the lifting slide rod 16. The infrared sensor 17 is connected to a controller 8, and the controller 8 is also connected to the hydraulic system 7 of the lifting cylinder 12.
[0017] The manual lifting support adjustment device includes a manual screw jack 6, which is fixedly installed on the base 1 at the bottom of the base frame 11 via a mounting bracket 5. The top end of the screw 9 of the manual screw jack 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the base frame 11, and a limit control device is provided at the bottom end of the screw 9.
[0018] The limit control device includes a support frame 2, which is set on the base 1 at the bottom of the manual screw jack 6. The support frame 2 is provided with a through hole 3, and a support plate 4 for supporting the bottom end of the screw 9 is provided on the through hole 3.
[0019] Under normal conditions, the infrared sensor 17 transmits a signal indicating an obstacle ahead to the controller 8. The controller 8, according to a pre-programmed sequence, controls the lifting cylinder 12 via the hydraulic system 7 to retract the scissor lift frame 13, allowing the lifting slide 16 to slide downwards within the guide seat 15, thus automatically lowering the mast height. When manual lowering of the mast height is required, the support plate 4 is removed, and the manual screw jack 6 is manually cranked. The screw 9 descends, and under gravity, the base frame 11, along with the upper lifting slide 16, descends together, achieving manual lowering of the mast height. Example 2
[0020] An intelligent integrated automatic lifting ship mast includes a base 1 and a lifting slide rod 16. A support cylinder seat 10 is vertically fixed on the base 1, and a guide seat 15 is provided on the top of the support cylinder seat 10. The lifting slide rod 16 is vertically slidably installed in the guide seat 15. The bottom end of the lifting slide rod 16 is connected to a top frame 14. The bottom of the top frame 14 is connected to a base frame 11 through a scissor-type lifting frame 13 controlled by a lifting cylinder 12. A manual lifting support adjustment device is connected to the bottom of the base frame 11. An infrared sensor 17 is installed on the top of the lifting slide rod 16. The infrared sensor 17 is connected to a controller 8, and the controller 8 is also connected to the hydraulic system 7 of the lifting cylinder 12.
[0021] The manual lifting support adjustment device includes a support rod 20. The top end of the support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the base frame 11. The bottom end of the support rod 20 is horizontally fixedly connected to a slide rod 19. Both ends of the slide rod 19 are slidably installed in a slide groove 18. The slide groove 18 is vertically fixed. A hanging rod 22 is fixedly installed on the base 1. A guide wheel 21 is installed on the hanging rod 22. A lifting cable 23 is wound around the guide wheel 21. One end of the lifting cable 23 is connected to the slide rod 19. The other end of the lifting cable 23 passes around the guide wheel 21 and is connected to a hand chain hoist 24. The hand chain hoist 24 is installed on the base 1 through a fixing frame 25.
[0022] Under normal conditions, the infrared sensor 17 transmits a signal indicating an obstacle ahead to the controller 8. The controller 8, according to a pre-programmed sequence, controls the lifting cylinder 12 via the hydraulic system 7 to retract the scissor lift frame 13, allowing the lifting slide 16 to slide downwards within the guide seat 15, thus automatically lowering the mast height. When manual lowering of the mast height is required, the lifting cable 23 is released via the hand-operated hoist 24. Under gravity, the slide 19 slides downwards within the slide groove 18, causing the support rod 20 and the base frame 11 to descend together with the upper lifting slide 16, thus enabling manual lowering of the mast height.
