Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically to a shore power cable guide rail device. Background Technology
[0002] A shore power winch is a device used by ships to pull shore power cables to shore when they are docked at a pier. The direction of pulling the shore power cable can be selected according to the direction of docking at the pier, and it can be pulled to the port or starboard side of the ship.
[0003] Shore power cables are typically installed on the main deck and above of ships. Since the shore power winch is higher than the dock surface, regardless of whether the shore power cable is laid to the port or starboard side of the ship, it will be pulled down to the shore along the ship's edge. At this point, the shore power cable comes into contact with the ship's edge structure or railings. This contact can cause wear and tear on the cable and make the laying process difficult. Furthermore, it prevents angle adjustments based on the cable's direction, affecting its performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shore power cable guide rail device in order to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a shore power cable guide rail device, including a base, the innovation of which lies in: a rotating mechanism and a locking mechanism are provided on the base, the locking mechanism locks the rotating mechanism, bearing seats are provided on both sides of the rotating mechanism, a rotating shaft is provided between the bearing seats, a mounting frame is provided on the rotating shaft, the mounting frame is flipped by the rotating shaft, and multiple cable sliding rollers are provided inside the mounting frame; the rotating mechanism includes a rotating seat, a pin, a gear and a connecting plate, the pin is provided on the base, the gear is sleeved on the pin, the gear and the rotating seat are fixedly connected by the connecting plate, and the rotating seat is angled by the rotation of the gear.
[0006] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking hook connected to the base, which is embedded in the tooth groove of the gear to fix the rotating mechanism, and a spring is provided between the locking hook and the base to tighten the locking hook.
[0007] Furthermore, a locking rod is hinged to the rear end of the rotating seat, and a locking buckle is hinged to the front end of the locking rod. The mounting bracket has a locking groove at a corresponding position, and the locking groove cooperates with the locking buckle.
[0008] Furthermore, the cable rollers are distributed along the left and right sides of the mounting frame side plate.
[0009] Furthermore, auxiliary rollers are provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the mounting frame.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above structure are as follows:
[0011] This utility model is simple in design and easy to use. It can effectively solve the problem of friction between shore power cables and the structures on both sides of the ship during the laying of shore power cables. It uses smooth cable rollers to support the shore power cables, avoiding wear on the shore power cables. At the same time, the rotating mechanism can adjust the angle according to the cable direction, making it more practical. Furthermore, the use of cable rollers can also better help to lay shore power cables from the shore power winch to the berthing dock. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0019] See Figure 1-3A shore power cable guide rail device includes a base 1, a rotating mechanism 2 and a locking mechanism 3 mounted on the base 1. The locking mechanism 3 locks the rotating mechanism 2. Bearing seats 4 are provided on both sides of the rotating mechanism 2, and a rotating shaft 5 is provided between the bearing seats 4. A mounting frame 6 is mounted on the rotating shaft 5. The mounting frame 6 can be flipped via the rotating shaft 5. Multiple cable rollers 7 are provided inside the mounting frame 6. The rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating seat 21, a pin 22, a gear 23 and a connecting plate 24. The pin 22 is mounted on the base 1, and the gear 23 is sleeved on the pin 22. The gear 23 and the rotating seat 21 are fixedly connected by the connecting plate 24. The angle of the rotating seat 21 is adjusted by the rotation of the gear 23. Specifically, the base 1 is fixed to the ship structure with bolts. The mounting frame 6 can be flipped via the rotating shaft 5 and can be placed horizontally or vertically (see...). Figure 2 When not in use, the device is placed vertically; when the shore power cable is being laid, the device is laid flat; the cable is supported by the cable roller 7 on the device body; the cable roller 7 is preferably a smooth rod to reduce friction and avoid damage to the cable; when angle adjustment is required, the mounting frame 6 rotates around the pin 22 via the rotating seat 21 and gear 23, and after adjustment, it is fixed by the locking mechanism 3, so that the angle can be adjusted according to the cable route, which is more practical; in order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating seat 21, the pin 22 and gear 23 are set at the center line of the rotating seat 21.
[0020] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking hook 31 connected to the base and embedded in the tooth groove of the gear 23 to fix the rotating mechanism. A spring 32 is provided between the locking hook 31 and the base to tighten the locking hook. By cooperating with the tooth groove of the gear 23, the locking hook 31 fixes the gear 23, thereby realizing the positioning function; the spring 32 can ensure that the locking hook 31 is always embedded in the tooth groove of the gear 23; when it is necessary to change the angle, the locking hook 31 can be pulled out from the tooth groove of the gear 23.
[0021] See Figure 1 To ensure the stability of the cable during cable laying, a locking rod 25 is hinged at the rear end of the rotating seat 21, and a locking buckle 26 is hinged at the front end of the locking rod 25. The mounting bracket 6 has a locking groove 27 at the corresponding position. The locking groove 27 cooperates with the locking buckle 26 to lock and fix the flat guide rail device, ensuring that the guide rail device is always in a flat state.
[0022] In this embodiment, cable rollers 7 are distributed along the left and right sides of the mounting frame side plate. The cable passes directly through the two rows of cable rollers 7, and the smooth cable rollers 7 support the shore power cable, avoiding wear on the shore power cable; secondly, the use of cable rollers 7 can also better help the shore power cable to be pulled from the shore power winch to the berthing dock.
[0023] In this embodiment, auxiliary rollers 8 are provided on the upper left and right sides of the mounting frame 6. The auxiliary rollers 8 serve two purposes: firstly, to prevent the sides of the device from scratching the cable; and secondly, to assist in pulling the cable left and right when necessary (see...). Figure 3 ).
[0024] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
