Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of navigational aid technology, specifically relating to an anti-collision navigational aid or buoy, comprising: a float body with a fender and an elastic buffer; a frame with a first and second support plate, wherein a solar panel is mounted on the first support plate and a signal indicator light is mounted on the second support plate; and a buffer mechanism including fasteners connected to an anti-collision ring via buffer links; wherein the buffer links have multi-level buffer zones, and the anti-collision ring includes a rubber bladder with an aluminum alloy frame layer on its outer side, and a polyethylene material layer on the outer side of the aluminum alloy frame layer, the polyethylene material layer being coated with a thin elastic reflective coating. This invention, through the inclusion of a buffer mechanism and reflective plates, effectively reduces the probability of the navigational aid being struck or the extent of damage after a collision.
