Boat ramp safety lock.

Abstract

This invention relates to a boat ramp safety lock that enables hydraulically operated boat ramps used on military vessels to be securely locked in the closed position. The boat ramp safety lock prevents the ramps from unintentionally opening due to oil leaks or spills such as hose bursts / ruptures / clogging in the hydraulic circuits when the ramps are in the closed position, thus ensuring personnel, equipment, and operational safety.

Description

1 TARIFF BOAT RAMP SAFETY LOCK TECHNICAL AREA 5 This invention allows for the enclosed hydraulically driven boat ramps used on military vessels. boat ramp safety lock that ensures it can be securely locked in position. It is related to the invention of a boat ramp safety lock, which is used to secure boat ramps when closed. While in this position, hose bursts / ruptures / pinch in hydraulic circuits and 10 Unintentional opening due to oil leaks and seepage that may occur. to prevent movement in that direction and thus personnel, equipment and operations Security can be ensured. STATE OF THE ART 15 Boats used for landing and / or servicing on military vessels are launched into the sea. lowering or retrieval from the sea by boat ramp structures This is being carried out. The boat is either taken aboard the ship or released into the sea. The power requirement for the boat ramp used during the process is hydraulically driven 20 This is met by mechanisms. Boat ramps and the hydraulic systems they contain. propelled mechanisms ensure the structural integrity and operational safety of the ship. It plays a critical role in this regard. These types of hydraulically operated boat ramps used on military vessels have a closed position of 25. Continuous hydraulic drive power must be applied to ensure they remain stationary. However, during operational use, hoses are required in hydraulic circuits. oil leaks and spills that may occur due to bursting / rupture / jamming and similar events. due to the boat ramps being used, it unintentionally moves in the direction of opening. Situations where openings can occur may arise. Therefore, 30 on military ships. the safety of equipment, personnel and operations of the boat ramps used This is to ensure that they can remain in the closed position without hydraulic drive power. Mechanical fasteners are needed to provide this. 2 Today, hydraulically operated boat ramps used on military vessels are enclosed. The body is secured with a hoist to ensure it can be locked in position. by securing and stretching or providing a standard screw-nut relationship Securing it using equipment is one of the most common methods of use. However, this The structures are easy and practical to use under all conditions and at all times. 5 this is not possible and operational processes are negatively affected. It is possible. DEFINITION OF INVENTION This invention is a boat ramp that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above. It relates to safety locks. The subject of the invention is a boat ramp safety lock used on military vessels. the boat ramps used automatically switch from open to closed position It has a structure that allows it to be locked, and also in the closed position. while preventing them from involuntarily moving towards the opening, 15 It helps ensure the safety of personnel, equipment, and operations. Boat ramp safety lock body structure; fixed part of the boat ramp a lock rod capable of rotational movement on a welded lock rod cradle and Attached to the end of the locking rod, specifically designed to provide this locking function, 20 It consists of a designed locking nut. The locking nut compatible with its geometry; welded to the movable part of the boat ramp. The ramp-type strike plate completes the mechanism. Boat ramp safety lock body structure also includes the lock rod parking 25 It includes a straightening stopper to determine their positions. It also includes the locking rod. On the alignment stopper to convert position information into electronic information. The limit switch has been positioned. 30 PARTS AND COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE INVENTION 1 – Boat ramp safety lock 2 – Locking rod 3 3 – Locking nut 4 – Ramp-type lock strike plate – Correction stopper 6 – Lock rod cradle 7 – Limit switch 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 – Perspective view of the boat ramp safety lock in the closed position.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION This invention enables the transition of boat ramps used on military vessels from the open to the closed position. it automatically locks when switching to this position and when in the closed position. By preventing them from involuntarily moving towards the opening, the staff, 20 boat ramp that helps ensure equipment and operational safety It is related to the safety lock (1). The subject of the invention is a boat ramp safety lock (1), with spaced teeth (lock bolt) The locking rod (2) applied and tightened to this spaced tooth area 25 It includes the assembled locking nut (3). Thus, the locking nut (3) when the lock is released, the lock rod (2) may fall / get lost involuntarily It is being blocked. Screwing / loosening 30 at the connection of the locking rod (2) and the locking nut (3). thin teeth, taking into account the forces that will be needed during the process The application has been carried out so that self-locking is also achieved in the screw-nut relationship. is provided. 4 The surface area and thus the diameter of the locking nut (3) with the opposite wall ramped lock strike plate forming a counter wall to increase its grip (4) It is dimensioned in proportion to its width. The locking nut (3) can be easily removed manually with the wrench to be used. 5 The size of the wrench opening of the locking nut (3) so that it can be tightened and loosened designed above standard and thus the force lever of the locking nut (3) It has been increased. The lock rod (2) is mounted on the lock rod cradle (6) welded to the fixed part of the boat ramp. It is connected in such a way that it can perform rotational movement. The other of the locking rod (2) The locking nut (3) attached at the end of the boat ramp is locked in the locked position. Ramp lock strike plate (4) connected to the movable part, one-to-one with the surface. They are positioned to make contact. In this connection, metal-to-metal contact is possible. By ensuring this, the hold has been increased. 15 Before opening the boat ramp during use, the lock nut (3) by releasing the lock rod (2) and turning it onto the straightening stopper (5) It is necessary. During this time, the limit positioned on the straightening stopper (5) Thanks to the key (7), the automation system receives information that the lock is fully open. 20 It can be read. Thus, the hydraulic drive systems are activated and the boat The ramp can be opened safely and the boat can be locked in place. to prevent accidents and crashes that may occur by opening the ramp It is being passed. Under normal conditions, the boat ramp safety mechanism is in place when the boat ramp is closing. The lock (1) is expected to be in the open position and the open position information is the limit switch. (7) By transmitting the data to the automation system, hydraulic drive is given to the boat The ramp's closing process is being prevented. However, a possible electronic malfunction may occur. In this case; during the closing movement of the boat ramp, the locking rod (2) is locked 30 In order to prevent accidents if it is in this position, the ramped lock strike plate (4) The geometry of the locking nut (3) and the conical geometry of the locking nut are compatible with each other. It is designed so that when the boat ramp is closing (the movable part, (when approaching the fixed part) locking nut (3), ramp lock By climbing onto the counter (4), it is possible to get behind the ramped lock counter (4). And the locking process happens automatically. The closing process... then to complete the operation safely, the locking nut (3) The distance to the ramped lock strike plate (4) surface is 5 by tightening the lock nut (3). is being resolved.
