Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine safety technology, and in particular relates to a modular quick-install marine storm handrail. Background Technology

[0002] Storm railings on ships are sturdy handrails or railings specially designed and installed in critical areas such as passageways, corridors, and stairwells inside the vessel. Their purpose is to provide additional support and stability for people and crew during severe sea conditions (such as storms and large waves) to prevent falls and injuries.

[0003] A search revealed a marine storm handrail with publication number CN221273419U on the Chinese Patent website. This storm handrail can be used for ship safety protection, but it has some defects and shortcomings that need to be improved: (1) Most traditional storm handrails are welded, and on-site positioning welding is often required during installation, resulting in low installation efficiency (single point time ≥ 30 minutes). Furthermore, the welded joints are easily corroded by seawater, leading to a short service life (≤ 5 years); (2) Some existing storm handrails often require cutting the deck during maintenance and replacement, which can damage the ship's structure; (3) Although some existing storm handrails are quick-installation structures, bolt connections often require multiple tools, and non-standard components lead to high spare parts inventory costs. Therefore, in response to the above problems, the modular quick-installation marine storm handrail provided by this utility model is of great significance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a modular quick-install marine storm handrail that can be installed in 5 minutes without welding or tools, thus greatly improving installation efficiency; disassembly does not require machine cutting, thus avoiding damage to the hull structure; all components use standard parts and meet ISO standard interchangeability, thus effectively reducing spare parts inventory costs, thereby solving the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a modular quick-install marine storm handrail, comprising a decorative enclosure with reinforcing plates built into both sides.

A handrail bracket base plate is installed at the bottom of the handrail intermediate bracket, and a self-tapping screw is threaded onto the handrail bracket base plate. A handrail tube is installed at the top of the handrail intermediate bracket, and a set screw is threaded onto the handrail tube. An end cap is installed at one end of the handrail tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the middle support of the handrail is J-shaped, and the top of the middle support of the handrail is arc-shaped, and the outer diameter of the handrail tube is equal to the diameter of the arc-shaped surface at the top of the middle support of the handrail.

[0008] Furthermore, the handrail bracket base plate is provided with a base with a pre-embedded threaded sleeve, and the back of the handrail bracket base plate is provided with 3M double-sided tape. The end of the middle handrail bracket is round, and its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the threaded sleeve on the handrail bracket base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the end is arc-shaped, and the joint end between the end and the handrail tube adopts a concave-convex design, with the diameter of the protruding end of the end corresponding to and equal to the inner diameter of the concave end of the handrail tube.

[0010] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0011] (1) The modular quick-install marine storm handrail of this utility model can achieve zero welding and tool-free quick installation in 5 minutes, thereby greatly improving the installation efficiency.

[0012] (2) The modular quick-install marine storm handrail of this utility model does not require machine cutting during disassembly, thus avoiding damage to the ship's structure.
