A floating marker to prevent displacement of sinking stones

Abstract

This utility model discloses a floating marker anti-displacement boulder, belonging to the technical field of floating marker fixing. The boulder includes a boulder body made of cast iron, which is generally truncated pyramidal in shape and relatively low in height. The top has a top connecting groove that can be movably connected to the chain system, and the top surface has a funnel-shaped groove. The bottom has a bottom groove with a central air hole and a movable triangular anchor claw structure. This utility model reduces the volume of the boulder by changing the material, thus reducing the impact of water flow. Through structural design, the top funnel-shaped groove increases tensile resistance, the bottom groove creates a vacuum to generate suction, and the triangular anchor claw structure enhances the bottom grip. This effectively solves the problem of easy displacement of traditional boulders, shortens the chain length, reduces costs, and improves the buoy positioning accuracy, demonstrating significant economic, social, and technological innovation benefits.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine floating marker fixing technology, specifically to a floating marker anti-displacement sinking stone. Background Technology

[0002] Floating markers float on the sea surface and are connected to sinkers by chains, remaining relatively fixed near their designed location. Accurate positioning of floating markers is crucial in fields such as maritime traffic and marine monitoring.

[0003] However, traditional boulder anchors are prone to displacement in areas with large waves or strong currents due to structural defects. Currently, the chains of floating markers are generally configured to be 2.5-3 times the water depth, aiming to increase the tack of the anchor chain on the seabed and prevent the marker from shifting. However, lengthening the chain has several problems: it not only increases the turning distance of the floating marker, reducing positioning accuracy, but also increases the cost of the buoy; moreover, excessively long chains are prone to knotting on the seabed, which not only fails to increase tack but also increases the possibility of displacement because the total length is shortened after knotting. Whether it can achieve the expected results remains to be seen.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of sinking stone structure that can improve the bottom grip, effectively shorten the chain length, reduce investment costs, and at the same time reduce or even eliminate the possibility of sinking stone displacement. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the problems of traditional sinking stones being prone to displacement in waters with large waves or rapid currents, as well as the problems of excessively long chains leading to increased turning distances, higher costs, easy knotting, and increased risk of displacement.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A floating marker anti-displacement sinking stone, comprising a sinking stone body with an overall frustum-shaped structure;

[0008] The top of the sinking stone body is provided with a top connection groove for connecting with the chain system.

[0009] The top surface of the sinking stone body is provided with a bucket-shaped groove;

[0010] The bottom of the sinking stone body is provided with a bottom groove, and a middle air hole communicating with the bucket-shaped groove is provided through the middle position of the bottom groove.

[0011] A movable anchor tooth structure is installed on one side of the bottom of the sinking stone body.

[0012] Furthermore, the sinking stone body is made of cast iron.

[0013] Furthermore, the top connecting groove and the chain system are connected in a movable manner.

[0014] Furthermore, the anchor tooth structure is a triangular anchor claw, which is used to effectively enhance the gripping force during the horizontal movement of the sinking rock.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] Economic Benefits: Emergency repairs involving vessels are costly if a buoy shifts. The new type of bollard, by increasing its grip, effectively reduces buoy shifting and lowers emergency repair costs. Furthermore, it shortens the chain length, reducing the cost of additional navigation aids. Overall, the new mooring system offers significant economic advantages.

[0017] Social Benefits: Buoy displacement is a major hidden danger to safe navigation. At best, it becomes an obstruction; at worst, it leads ships off course, causing grounding accidents with incalculable social rescue resources. This utility model's anti-buoy displacement anchoring device can reduce the occurrence of buoy displacement, bringing significant social benefits to both navigation safety and the work of maritime management departments.

[0018] Higher positioning accuracy of floating markers: The new type of sinker can reduce the buoy's turning radius, increase the buoy's setting accuracy, and improve the positioning accuracy of floating markers.

[0019] Significance of Technological Innovation: The problem of buoy displacement is a common issue in the industry. The design of the new sinker expands the means of solving this problem, provides a new approach, and represents a theoretical innovation that can also lead the industry to more innovative technological applications.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," or "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0025] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a floating marker anti-displacement sinking stone includes a sinking stone body 1, which is made of cast iron and has a truncated quadrangular shape with a low overall height. The top of the sinking stone body 1 is provided with a top connecting groove 2 that is connected to the chain system. The top connecting groove 2 and the chain system are connected in a movable manner, which can reduce the possibility of the sinking stone overturning during horizontal movement on the seabed.

[0029] The top surface of the sinking stone body 1 is provided with a funnel-shaped groove 3. When the sinking stone is subjected to an upward pulling force, the funnel-shaped groove 3 can increase the resistance.

[0030] The bottom of the sinking stone body 1 is provided with a bottom groove 4, and a middle air hole 5 is provided through the middle of the bottom groove 4 and communicates with the bucket-shaped groove 3. When the sinking stone sinks to the bottom, the air in the bottom groove 4 can be discharged through the middle air hole 5, forming a vacuum and generating a certain suction force, which enhances the adsorption force between the sinking stone and the seabed.

[0031] The bottom side of the boulder body 1 is also equipped with a movable anchor tooth structure 6, which is a triangular anchor claw. When the boulder moves horizontally, the anchor tooth structure 6 can insert into the seabed, generating a large force with the seabed, effectively improving the bottom gripping force, and thus playing the role of anchoring the buoy and preventing the buoy from drifting. Working principle

[0032] The buoy moves under the influence of water flow and waves. The chain system connects to the sinker, which provides tension to hold the buoy in place. The chain system transmits the force on the buoy to the sinker. At this time, the sinker moves under the combined action of gravity and the chain system. The triangular anchor claw structure is inserted into the seabed, forming a large force with the seabed to resist the movement of the sinker and achieve stable fixation of the floating marker.

[0033] In practical applications, the weight and size of the boulder can be adjusted according to the water depth, current speed, and wave conditions of different sea areas to ensure that it has sufficient gripping force and stability. At the same time, the chain length can be shortened according to actual needs, which can significantly reduce chain cost and turning distance compared to the traditional 2.5-3 times the water depth length.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
