The mooring facilities set on the surface of the bank cannot fully meet the mooring needs of ships at different water levels. On the one hand, at low water levels, the distance between the ship and the mooring facility is far, making mooring inconvenient. On the other hand, during use, the crew needs to disembark and go ashore to drag and moor the cable after the ship touches the bank, which can easily lead to accidents such as people falling into the water, ship damage, and grounding. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a convenient mooring structure that adapts to changes in water level. This structure can adapt well to changes in water level, thereby ensuring that ships can be moored conveniently and reliably at different water levels, thus ensuring the safety and convenience of mooring.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 A convenient mooring structure adaptable to water level changes includes a mooring bollard 9 fixed to the top of a embankment 15. The mooring bollard 9 connects to a first section of wire rope 1, the tail end of which is connected to a metal ring 3. Intermediate segmented wire ropes 2 are simultaneously connected to the metal ring 3. The other end of the intermediate segmented wire ropes 2 is alternately connected to multiple sections of intermediate segmented wire ropes 2 via the metal ring 3. During mooring, the ship's bollard 11 is selectively connected to the metal ring 3 via a mooring rope 10 to adapt to water level changes. This structure effectively adapts to water level changes, ensuring convenient and reliable mooring of ships at different water levels, thus guaranteeing the safety and convenience of mooring.
[0028] Furthermore, the embankment 15 is located at the top of the slope 13. The embankment 15 is used to install mooring bollards 9.
[0029] Furthermore, after the head end of the first section of wire rope 1 is bent, it is fixed by rope clamp 4 to form a first connecting ring 5, and after the tail end of the first section of wire rope 1 is bent, it is fixed by rope clamp 4 to form a second connecting ring 6. The first section of wire rope 1 facilitates the simultaneous connection of the mooring bollard 9 and the metal ring 3.
[0030] Furthermore, the first connecting ring 5 is fitted onto the mooring bollard 9, and the second connecting ring 6 is used to connect the metal ring 3. The first connecting ring 5 facilitates connection with the mooring bollard 9.
[0031] Furthermore, after the head end of the intermediate segmented wire rope 2 is bent, it is fixed by the rope clamp 4 to form a third connecting ring 7, and after the tail end of the intermediate segmented wire rope 2 is bent, it is fixed by the rope clamp 4 to form a fourth connecting ring 8. The aforementioned intermediate segmented wire rope 2 facilitates alternating connections via the metal ring 3, thereby adapting to the mooring requirements at different depths.
[0032] Furthermore, the third connecting ring 7 and the fourth connecting ring 8 are respectively connected to the metal rings 3 at both ends. This connection method improves the convenience of the combined connection.
[0033] Furthermore, the surface of the clamp groove of the rope clamp 4 matches the surface and lay direction of the wire rope. The rope clamp 4 ensures the reliability of the connection.
[0034] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the metal ring 3 is not less than 150 mm, and the wire diameter is not greater than 50 mm.
[0035] Furthermore, the number of rope clamps 4 at the end of each section of wire rope shall not be less than 3 and shall be arranged in the same direction.
[0036] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first section of wire rope 1 and the intermediate segmented wire rope 2 are coated with oil for corrosion protection, and the metal ring 3 and rope clamp 4 are galvanized for corrosion protection.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] 1. Structural Composition:
[0039] The convenient mooring structure adapted to water level changes described in this utility model mainly consists of the following parts:
[0040] 2. Segmented steel wire rope: The steel wire rope is divided into multiple segments. The first end of the first segment is tied with a rope clamp to form a fixed head. The tail end and the end of the middle segment are connected to a metal ring with rope clamps. The end of the last segment is also connected to a metal ring.
[0041] Rope clamp 4: Used to connect the wire rope and the metal ring to ensure a secure connection.
[0042] Metal ring 3: The metal ring serves as a fixing point for the mooring line, making it convenient for crew members to perform mooring operations by hooking the metal ring.
[0043] 2. Installation method:
[0044] Wire rope securing: Secure the first section of wire rope to the mooring posts or ground anchors on the bank slope using rope clamps to ensure its stability.
[0045] Segmented connection: Each segment of wire rope is connected to a metal ring via a rope clamp and extended sequentially to the vicinity of the water surface to ensure that a suitable mooring point can be provided at different water levels.
[0046] End treatment: The last section of the wire rope is connected to a metal ring, which serves as the mooring point at the lowest water level.
[0047] 3. Instructions for use:
[0048] High-water mooring: When the water level is high, the vessel can choose a metal ring near the shore as the mooring point. The crew does not need to disembark; they can simply use a hook to retrieve the metal ring to complete the mooring operation.
[0049] Low water level mooring: When the water level is low, the vessel can choose a metal ring away from the shore as the mooring point to ensure that the vessel maintains a safe distance from the shore and avoids touching the shore or running aground.
[0050] Water level adjustment: As the water level changes in stages, the crew can select a suitable metal ring as the mooring point according to the actual situation, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0051] 4. Corrosion protection treatment:
[0052] Corrosion protection of wire rope: The wire rope is coated with oil for corrosion protection, which enhances its corrosion resistance and makes it suitable for long-term use in aquatic environments.
[0053] Corrosion protection for metal rings and rope clamps: The metal rings and rope clamps are galvanized for corrosion protection, which improves their durability and corrosion resistance and extends their service life.
[0054] Example 3:
[0055] The following two specific embodiments further illustrate the implementation of this utility model:
[0056] The water level in a certain water conservancy project reservoir exhibits significant periodic changes throughout the year, with a fluctuation range of up to 20 meters. This utility model utilizes a convenient mooring structure installed on the bank slope. The total length of the steel wire rope is 20 meters, divided into 10 segments of 2 meters each, connected by rope clamps and metal rings. When a vessel approaches the bank, the crew, from the bow, uses tools to hook the nearest metal ring, thread the vessel's mooring line through the ring, and secure it to the vessel's own mooring bollard. The crew does not need to disembark, making the operation convenient, safe, and fully adaptable to the large water level fluctuations in the reservoir area.
