Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of marine warning equipment, specifically a warning light post for offshore wind farms. Background Technology
[0002] With the continued growth in global demand for clean energy, offshore wind power, as an important form of renewable energy, is experiencing continuous expansion in its development and construction scale. Offshore wind farms are typically located in vast sea areas, surrounded by numerous vessels, including merchant ships and fishing boats. Due to the complex and changeable marine environment, ships face many potential dangers during navigation, such as collisions with wind power facilities. Therefore, the installation of effective warning devices is crucial to ensure the safe operation of offshore wind farms and the navigational safety of passing vessels. Warning beacons, as key safety warning facilities at offshore wind farms, provide clear visual signals to ships, guiding them safely and preventing collisions. They are of great significance in maintaining maritime traffic order and protecting the lives and property of personnel.
[0003] Traditional offshore wind farm warning light beacons are typically installed at a low height. This low height significantly limits the propagation of the light, resulting in a limited range. At long distances, the light intensity decreases rapidly with distance, making it difficult for high-speed vessels to spot in time. This is especially true in adverse weather conditions, such as fog, where fog scatters and absorbs light, further weakening its propagation; and rain, where raindrops refract and block light, making it even harder for the light to penetrate. This means that traditional warning light beacons cannot provide sufficiently effective warning signals to vessels at long distances and in adverse weather, increasing the risk of collisions between vessels and wind turbines. Furthermore, the warning range of traditional beacons depends primarily on the angle and intensity of the light, parameters that are usually fixed after installation. However, the marine environment in which offshore wind farms are located is complex and diverse, with varying sea conditions, weather conditions, and vessel traffic density in different areas. A fixed warning range cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the actual marine environment, and traditional beacons cannot meet the actual needs in areas with high vessel traffic or where an expanded warning range is required. For example, under certain special weather conditions, ships may need warning messages from a greater distance to adjust their course in advance, but traditional light beacons cannot provide the corresponding function of expanding the warning range, thereby reducing the warning effect and hindering the protection of maritime traffic safety.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a warning light beacon for offshore wind farms to solve the problems of offshore warning devices mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a warning light post for offshore wind farms, comprising a mounting base plate, a light post body fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base plate, an installation door movably installed on one side of the light post body, a lifting motor fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the light post body, a threaded rod fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting motor, a lifting support rod threadedly connected to the threaded surface of the threaded rod, a top platform fixedly connected to the top of the lifting support rod, a protective fence fixedly connected to the top of the top platform, a light fixture mounting base fixedly installed on the top of the top platform, a warning light provided at the top of the light fixture mounting base, an external plate fixedly connected to one side of the top platform, and a laser indication device for enhancing the warning effect of the light post provided on the top of the external plate.
[0006] Preferably, a partition plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lamp post body, and the lifting motor is located below the partition plate, while the threaded rod is located above the partition plate. Three sliding grooves are opened on the inner wall of the lamp post body corresponding to the upper part of the partition plate.
[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the lifting support rod is fixedly connected with three limiting rods, and one side of each of the three limiting rods is slidably connected to the three sliding grooves of the lamp post body. A limiting ring is fixedly connected to the side surface of the lifting support rod near the top, and multiple support rods are fixedly connected between the top platform and the limiting ring.
[0008] Preferably, the laser warning device includes a drive motor, a sleeve, a connecting rod, a linkage rod, a placement plate, a warning laser, an electric telescopic rod, and a fixing ring. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer plate, and a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the outer plate. The movable end of the drive motor passes through the outer plate and is fixedly connected to the sleeve. The inner wall of the sleeve is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the linkage rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the placement plate. Two warning lasers are fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate, and two electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the top of the outer plate. The movable ends of the two electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the fixing ring.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the outer plate is fixedly connected to four top rods, and the four top rods are arranged in a ring on the top of the outer plate, with all four top rods located at the bottom of the fixing ring.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The lifting motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, and in conjunction with the threaded connection and the limit rod, the lifting support rod slides up and down within the main body of the light post, thereby raising and lowering the top platform and warning lights. This design allows for flexible adjustment of the warning light height according to actual needs, effectively preventing the warning lights from being obstructed or having their light intensity reduced due to distance or other factors. This ensures that high-speed vessels can promptly detect the warning signals, enhancing both the warning effect and safety.
[0012] The laser warning device's drive motor rotates the connecting rod, causing the warning laser to move in an arc, expanding the warning range and enabling it to warn vessels at greater distances. This further enhances the long-range warning capability of the warning light beacon. Simultaneously, the electric telescopic rod moves the fixing ring up and down, and through the transmission of the linkage rod and connecting rod, the placement plate rotates, thereby adjusting the angle of the warning laser. This design allows for flexible adjustment of the laser emission range according to different marine environments, making the warning effect more targeted and better reminding vessels of safety precautions.

A lifting motor 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the light post body 2. A threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting motor 4. A lifting support rod 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded surface of the threaded rod 5. A top platform 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting support rod 6.

A laser indication device for enhancing the warning effect of the light post is provided on the top of the external plate 14.
[0017] Furthermore, a partition plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lamp post body 2, and the lifting motor 4 is located below the partition plate, while the threaded rod 5 is located above the partition plate. Three sliding grooves are opened on the inner wall of the lamp post body 2 corresponding to the partition plate above.
[0018] Furthermore, three limiting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting support rod 6, and one side of each of the three limiting rods 11 is slidably connected to the three sliding grooves of the lamp post body 2. A limiting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the lifting support rod 6 near the top, and multiple support rods 13 are fixedly connected between the top platform 7 and the limiting ring 12.
[0019] Furthermore, the laser warning device includes a drive motor 15, a sleeve 16, a connecting rod 17, a linkage rod 18, a placement plate 19, a warning laser 20, an electric telescopic rod 21, and a fixing ring 22. The drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer plate 14, and the fixing ring 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer plate 14. The movable end of the drive motor 15 passes through the outer plate 14 and is fixedly connected to the sleeve 16. The inner wall of the sleeve 16 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 17. One end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the linkage rod 18, and the other end of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the placement plate 19. Two warning lasers 20 are fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 19. Two electric telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer plate 14, and the movable ends of the two electric telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the fixing ring 22.
[0020] Furthermore, four push rods 23 are fixedly connected to the top of the outer plate 14, and the four push rods 23 are arranged in a ring on the top of the outer plate 14, and all four push rods 23 are located at the bottom of the fixing ring 22.

Then, the drive motor 15 is activated... The movable end of 15 drives the connecting rod 17 to rotate via the sleeve 16, causing one end of the connecting rod 17 to move in an arc shape via the two warning lasers 20. This expands the warning range through the laser emitted by the warning lasers 20, allowing for warnings to ships at a greater distance. Simultaneously, the movable ends of the two electric telescopic rods 21 drive the fixed ring 22 to move up and down, which in turn drives one end of the linkage rod 18 to move up and down. This causes the linkage rod 18 to rotate via the connecting rod 17, thereby adjusting the angle of the warning lasers 20 and adjusting the laser range emitted by the two warning lasers 20. This allows the warning range of the warning lasers 20 to be adjusted according to the marine environment, thus providing better warnings to ships.
