[0002] Against the backdrop of the booming development of the modern shipping industry, the interaction of personnel and materials between ships and docks is becoming more and more frequent. As a key channel connecting ships and docks, the performance of ship gangways directly affects operational efficiency and safety.

[0003] In practical applications, traditional ship gangways occupy a lot of space when idle due to the limited deck and dock space resources on most ships. This not only restricts other operations but also increases the difficulty of ship space planning. Different ship types, dock facilities, and tidal changes result in significant differences in height and docking angles between ships and docks. Traditional gangways are difficult to adapt flexibly to various complex scenarios, often resulting in problems such as insufficient gangway length and inability to accurately dock, which seriously affects the convenience and safety of personnel boarding and disembarking.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a foldable ship gangway, comprising:

[0027] The support assembly 100 includes a base 101, a bracket 102 fixedly connected to the end of the base 101, a turntable 103 fixedly connected to the end of the bracket 102, and a support seat 104 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the turntable 103.

[0028] The gangway assembly 200 includes a connector 201 hinged to the side wall of the support base 104, a main gangway 202 fixedly installed on the side wall of the connector 201, an auxiliary gangway 203 slidably installed inside the main gangway 202, and a retaining edge 204 fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary gangway 203. The retaining edge 204 is used in conjunction with the positioning groove at the end of the main gangway 202.

[0029] The support assembly 100, serving as the basic support structure for the gangway, comprises a base 101, a bracket 102, a turntable 103, and a support seat 104. The base 101 is the component where the entire gangway contacts the ship's deck or dock floor, providing stable support and ensuring the gangway remains stable during use. The bracket 102 is vertically fixed to the end of the base 101, providing support for the structure above. The turntable 103 is fixedly installed at the end of the bracket 102, ensuring the smooth rotation of the support seat 104. The gangway assembly 200 is the main part for personnel passage. The connector 201 is hinged to the side wall of the support seat 104, and its upper end is engaged with the side wall of the connecting platform 205, connecting the gangway assembly 200 to the support assembly 100 while allowing the gangway assembly 200 to rotate within a certain range for easy folding and unfolding. The main gangway 202 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the connector 201 and is the main body of the gangway. The main gangway 202 has a slide rail on its inner side, through which the auxiliary gangway 203 is slidably installed. It can extend and retract along the main gangway 202, adjusting the gangway's deployment range to adapt to different usage needs. A retaining edge 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the auxiliary gangway 203, with its lower end extending to the front of the main gangway 202. It cooperates with the positioning groove at the end of the main gangway 202, providing positioning and fixation when the auxiliary gangway 203 is fully extended, ensuring its stability.

[0030] Specifically, the support base 104 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting platform 205, and the upper end of the connector 201 is snapped into the side wall of the connecting platform 205.

[0031] The docking platform 205 is used to limit the position of the connector 201 and also to fix the connector 201 on the docking platform 205, thus maintaining the stability of the main gangway 202.

[0032] Furthermore, a conveyor belt 206 is fitted to the inner wall of the main gangway 202, and the lower side wall of the auxiliary gangway 203 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 206 through a locking device. A stepper motor 207 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the main gangway 202, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 207 is connected to the conveyor belt 206 through a synchronous belt.

[0033] The main gangway 202 has a conveyor belt 206 fitted to its inner wall. A stepper motor 207 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the main gangway 202, and its output shaft is connected to the conveyor belt 206 via a synchronous belt. The stepper motor 207 can drive the conveyor belt 206 to rotate. The lower side wall of the auxiliary gangway 203 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 206 via a locking device. When the conveyor belt 206 rotates, it can drive the auxiliary gangway 203 to slide along the main gangway 202.

[0034] Preferably, a hydraulic rod 208 is hinged to the side wall of the support seat 104, and the end of the hydraulic rod 208 is hinged to the lower side wall of the main gangway 202.

[0035] The support base 104 has a hydraulic rod 208 hinged to its side wall. The other end of the hydraulic rod 208 is hinged to the lower side wall of the main gangway 202. The hydraulic rod 208 provides power support for the folding and unfolding of the gangway.

[0036] It should be noted that a displacement sensor 209 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the flange 204, and the lower end of the flange 204 extends to the front of the main gangway 202.

[0037] The displacement sensor 209, which is fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the flange 204, can monitor the extension and retraction position of the auxiliary gangway 203 in real time and provide data support for controlling the movement of the auxiliary gangway 203.

[0038] Preferably, a drive motor 105 is fixedly connected in the middle of the turntable 103, and the output shaft end of the drive motor 105 is connected to the central shaft of the support base 104 via a coupling.

[0039] The drive motor 105 can drive the support base 104 to rotate around the central axis, thereby adjusting the direction of the gangway.

[0040] In use, when the gangway is needed, the drive motor 105 starts, driving the support base 104 to rotate around the central axis via the coupling, adjusting the gangway to the appropriate direction. Then, the hydraulic rod 208 extends, pushing the main gangway 202 to rotate around the hinge point between the connector 201 and the support base 104, unfolding the main gangway 202 from its folded state to a horizontal position. Next, the stepper motor 207 starts, driving the conveyor belt 206 via a synchronous belt. Since the lower sidewall of the auxiliary gangway 203 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 206, the operation of the conveyor belt 206 causes the auxiliary gangway 203 to slide outward along the slide rail inside the main gangway 202. When the auxiliary gangway 203 is fully unfolded, the lower end of the flange 204 engages with the positioning groove at the end of the main gangway 202, achieving positioning and fixation of the auxiliary gangway 203. At this point, personnel can board and disembark via the main gangway 202 and the auxiliary gangway 203.

[0041] After use, the stepper motor 207 reverses, driving the conveyor belt 206 to rotate in the opposite direction, retracting the auxiliary gangway 203 to the inside of the main gangway 202. Then, the hydraulic rod 208 retracts, pulling the main gangway 202 to rotate around the hinge point, restoring the gangway to its folded state. Finally, the drive motor 105 can be restarted to rotate the gangway to a suitable storage position.

[0042] In summary, the gangway achieves its folding function through hydraulic rod 208 and hinged structure. When not in use, the gangway can be folded away to reduce space occupation, facilitating space planning on ship decks or docks and other operations, making it particularly suitable for ship and dock environments with limited space. The auxiliary gangway 203 can slide and extend inside the main gangway 202. Through the cooperation of stepper motor 207 and conveyor belt 206, the length of the gangway can be flexibly adjusted according to the height difference between the ship and the dock, ensuring that the gangway can always connect the ship and the dock smoothly, improving the versatility and applicability of the gangway. The gangway can adjust its direction within a certain range, allowing operators to align the gangway with different embarkation / disembarkation positions or dock areas according to actual needs, improving ease of use and flexibility.
