Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of life raft storage technology, specifically a storage device for life rafts on the hull of an electric bulk carrier. Background Technology

[0002] Life rafts are an essential life-saving component on cargo ships. There are several ways to install them, such as on the deck, but this takes up too much deck space and affects the cargo ship's carrying capacity. Another method is to install them on the edge of the ship's side and fix them with brackets. However, in the event of severe weather, waves can easily impact the outer shell of the life raft, causing it to fall and resulting in loss. Furthermore, the impact of waves can also cause the life raft to be corroded by seawater. Based on this, this application provides an electric bulk carrier side life raft storage device. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an electric bulk carrier side life raft storage device, which solves the problem that existing life rafts are easily impacted by waves when installed on the ship's side, causing displacement of the protective outer frame.

[0004] The present invention relates to an electric bulk carrier side life raft storage device, comprising a support frame for support and a protective outer frame disposed on the support frame, wherein a life raft is disposed on the inner side of the protective outer frame. The protective outer frame includes at least two arc-shaped symmetrical covers to form an inner cavity. The outer side of the covers is provided with a flange, and the inner cavity is adapted to the life raft. The inner side of the cavity is provided with a pressure-resistant inner layer to resist the impact of sea waves; Both ends of the inner cavity formed by the cover are arc-shaped, and an edge fastening area is provided on the side where the two covers are close to each other to seal between the two covers.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, one side of the flange is planar and adapted to one side of the frame to restrict the protective outer frame.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting bracket includes a frame, the inner side of which is adapted to the protective frame, and a release component is provided at the bottom of the frame for releasing the protective outer frame.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, positioning holes are provided on the side of the frame that is parallel to the arc-shaped surface, and auxiliary pull rods are provided on the inner side of the positioning holes.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, one end of the auxiliary pull rod is movably connected to the positioning hole, and the other end of the auxiliary pull rod is provided with a slot.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a protective rope is installed on the inner side of the slot. The protective rope is located on one side of the arc-shaped surface and works with the frame to fix the protective outer frame.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention effectively disperses and absorbs the impact of ocean waves through its arc-shaped cover and pressure-resistant inner layer, protecting the life raft from damage. The fit between the flange and the frame provides a stable contact surface, further enhancing the device's impact resistance. Meanwhile, the protective rope and auxiliary tie rod can share the impact of ocean waves, ensuring the stability of the protective outer frame.

[0011] Meanwhile, the fit between the inner side of the frame and the outer protective frame ensures that the outer protective frame is firm and stable under normal conditions, preventing movement or detachment caused by wave impact. The fitting slots between the flange and the frame provide additional fixing points to enhance the stability of the outer protective frame, while the protective rope and slots assist in fixing the outer protective frame and improve the overall structural stability.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-5 Life rafts are an essential life-saving component for cargo ships. There are several ways to install them, such as installing them on the deck, but this takes up too much deck space and affects the cargo ship's carrying capacity. Another way is to set them on the edge of the ship's side and fix them with brackets. However, in the event of severe weather, waves can easily impact the outer shell of the life raft, causing it to fall and resulting in loss. Furthermore, the impact of waves can also cause the life raft to be corroded by seawater. Based on this, this application provides an electric bulk carrier ship's side life raft storage device, including a support bracket 2 and a protective outer frame 1 set on the support bracket 2. The life raft is set inside the protective outer frame 1. The protective outer frame 1 includes at least two arc-shaped symmetrical covers to form an inner cavity 14. The outer side of the cover is provided with a flange 11, and the inner cavity 14 is adapted to the life raft. The inner side of the inner cavity 14 is provided with a pressure-resistant inner layer 15 to resist the impact of sea waves; The inner cavity 14 formed by the cover body has two curved surfaces 12 at both ends. An edge fastening area 13 is provided on the side where the two covers are close to each other to seal between the two covers.

[0017] Two symmetrical arc-shaped covers are connected by flanges 11 to form a closed inner cavity 14, in which the life raft is placed.

[0018] The curved design of the enclosure effectively disperses the impact of waves, reducing direct impact on the life raft. The enclosure is made of high-strength composite materials (such as fiberglass or carbon fiber), which are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant.

[0019] The inner cavity 14 is provided with a pressure-resistant inner layer 15, which is made of elastic material (such as rubber or polyurethane foam) to absorb the energy of the impact of the waves and protect the life raft from damage. The pressure-resistant inner layer 15 can also play a role in heat insulation and moisture protection, preventing the life raft from aging due to temperature changes or humid environments.

[0020] The two enclosures are tightly connected by edge fastening area 13, using waterproof sealing strips or magnetic latches to ensure the airtightness of the inner cavity 14 and prevent seawater from seeping in. The fastening area is designed with a quick-opening structure for easy and rapid deployment of the life raft in an emergency.

[0021] The device is fixed to the edge of the ship's side by a support bracket 2. The support bracket is adjustable to adapt to the installation requirements of different ship types. Shock-absorbing pads are installed at the connection between the support bracket and the ship hull to further reduce the impact of wave impact on the device.

[0022] The curved cover and pressure-resistant inner layer 15 are designed to effectively disperse and absorb the impact of waves, protecting the life raft from damage. The edge fastening area 13 and waterproof sealing strip ensure the airtightness of the inner cavity 14, preventing seawater from seeping in and extending the life raft's service life.

[0023] One side of the flange 11 is flat and is adapted to one side of the frame 22 to restrict the protective outer frame 1.

[0024] One side of the flange 11 is designed as a flat structure to ensure a tight fit with one side of the frame 22. This flat design provides a stable contact surface, effectively preventing the protective frame 1 from moving or shifting under the impact of waves.

[0025] Flange 11 is made of high-strength metal or composite material (such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber), which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, ensuring stability and reliability in long-term use.

[0026] One side of the frame 22 is designed with a flat slot that fits the flange 11, facilitating insertion and fixation of the flange 11. The depth and width of the slot are precisely designed according to the dimensions of the flange 11 to ensure a tight fit. The frame 22 is equipped with fixing devices (such as bolts, nuts, or clips) to further lock the flange 11 in place and prevent it from loosening under the impact of waves. The fixing devices can be designed as quick-release structures for easy maintenance and repair.

[0027] Installation process: When installing the protective outer frame 1, first align the flange 11 with the adapter groove on the frame 22 to ensure that the flat part fits completely.

[0028] After inserting the flange 11 into the slot, ensure that the protective frame 1 is installed on the frame 22.

[0029] After installation, check whether the connection between flange 11 and frame 22 is tight, and ensure that there is no looseness or gap.

[0030] The fitting of flange 11 and frame 22 effectively restricts the movement of the protective frame 1 under the impact of waves, ensuring the safety of the life raft under extreme weather conditions. The planar design of flange 11 and the fitting groove of frame 22 can share the impact force of waves, reducing the impact on the protective frame 1 and the life raft.

[0031] The fitting design of flange 11 and frame 22 allows for quick disassembly, facilitating regular inspection and maintenance of the connecting parts of the protective frame 1, ensuring that the device is always in good condition. The design of flange 11 and frame 22 allows for modularity, facilitating the replacement of damaged parts and reducing maintenance costs.

[0032] The flat surface of flange 11 fits tightly with the adapter groove of frame 22, effectively limiting the movement of protective frame 1 and ensuring stability under wave impact.

[0033] The fitting arrangement of flange 11 and frame 22 shares the impact of waves, reducing the impact on the protective frame 1 and life raft, and protecting the life raft from damage.

[0034] The support frame 2 includes a frame body 22, the inner side of which is adapted to the protective frame, and a release component 3 is provided at the bottom of the frame body 22 for releasing the protective outer frame 1.

[0035] The frame 22 has positioning holes 23 on the side parallel to the arc surface, and auxiliary tie rods 21 are provided inside the positioning holes 23.

[0036] One end of the auxiliary pull rod 21 is movably positioned with respect to the positioning hole 23, and the other end of the auxiliary pull rod 21 is provided with a slot.

[0037] A protective rope 24 is installed on the inside of the slot. The protective rope 24 is located on one side of the arc surface and works with the frame 22 to fix the protective outer frame 1.

[0038] The inner side of the frame 22 is designed to match the shape of the protective outer frame 1, ensuring that the protective outer frame 1 is securely installed on the frame 22. The inner side of the frame 22 may be designed with positioning grooves or fixing points for tight fit with the connecting parts (such as flange 11) of the protective outer frame 1.

[0039] Release assembly 3 is located below frame 22 and is used to quickly release the protective outer frame 1 and life raft in an emergency. Release assembly 3 can be designed to be electrically or manually operated to ensure efficient and safe deployment.

[0040] A positioning hole 23 is provided on the side of the frame 22 that is parallel to the arc surface (which may be the arc-shaped cover contact surface of the protective frame 1) to assist in fixing the protective frame 1. The size and position of the positioning hole 23 are designed according to the shape and size of the protective frame 1 to ensure the stable installation of the protective frame 1.

[0041] One end of the auxiliary pull rod 21 is movably connected to the positioning hole 23, allowing the pull rod to move within a certain range. The other end of the pull rod is provided with a slot for fixing the protective rope 24.

[0042] The protective rope 24 is located on one side of the arc-shaped surface and is fixed to the frame 22 by the slot of the auxiliary tie rod 21.

[0043] The protective rope 24 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials (such as steel wire rope or polyester fiber rope) to ensure reliability in harsh environments.

[0044] The slot design allows for quick installation and removal of the protective rope 24, facilitating maintenance and replacement. A stop device (such as a spring plate or locking pin) can be installed on the inside of the slot to ensure that the protective rope 24 will not loosen when it is in a fixed state.

[0045] The protective rope 24 is fixed to the frame 22 through the slot, and works together with the auxiliary tie rod 21 and the positioning hole 23 to ensure the stability of the protective outer frame 1 under normal conditions.

[0046] The tension of the protective rope 24 can be adjusted and optimized according to the intensity of the wave impact and the weight of the protective frame 1.

[0047] In an emergency, the release component 3 (such as an electric release mechanism or a manual pull rope) triggers the unlocking, the protective frame 1 quickly detaches from the frame 22, and the life raft automatically inflates and pops out.

[0048] The protective outer frame 1 is fixed to the frame 22 by the adapter structure inside the frame 22. The auxiliary tie rod 21 and the protective rope 24 are installed in the positioning hole 23 and the slot in sequence to ensure the stability of the protective outer frame 1.

[0049] The modular design makes it easier to disassemble and replace the auxiliary pull rod 21, the slot and the protective rope 24, reducing maintenance time and costs. Regularly checking the status of the release component 3, the protective rope 24 and the slot ensures that the device is always in good working condition.

[0050] The fitting design between the inner side of the frame 22 and the protective outer frame 1, as well as the fixing mechanism of the protective rope 24, ensure that the protective outer frame 1 is firm and stable under normal circumstances, avoiding movement or detachment caused by wave impact.

[0051] The release component 3 allows the protective frame 1 to quickly detach from the frame 22 in an emergency, and the life raft automatically inflates and pops out, improving the speed of rescue response.

[0052] The protective rope 24 and auxiliary tie rod 21 are designed to share the impact force of the waves, protect the protective frame 1 and the life raft from damage, and enhance the impact resistance of the device.
