Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ship auxiliary berthing devices fail to effectively manage high impact energies during ship berthing, leading to device failure and short service life due to the conversion of impact energy into elastic potential energy.
Innovation Solution
A ship auxiliary berthing device comprising a first auxiliary component with an arc-shaped rod for arc sliding, a second auxiliary component with an annular sleeve and hydraulic oil, and a third auxiliary component with a buffering box, forming a three-stage stepped extrusion mechanism to absorb and distribute impact energy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If spring energy absorbing buffers or elastic buffering pads are used to absorb impact energy, then the device can provide buffering function, but the service life is short and components must be replaced frequently when impact energy is too high
Solution Approach 1:
The buffering system is divided into three independent auxiliary components connected in sequence: first auxiliary component with arc-shaped rod, second auxiliary component with annular sleeve and pouring weight, and third auxiliary component with buffering box. Each component absorbs impact energy through different mechanisms, distributing the load and preventing single-point failure, thereby extending service life under high impact energy conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The second auxiliary component uses hydraulic oil to convert impact energy into gravitational potential energy by lifting the pouring weight. This hydraulic-mechanical energy conversion mechanism provides reliable buffering with longer service life compared to traditional elastic buffers, as the hydraulic system can handle high impact energies without component fatigue.
2Reliability
If traditional single-way energy absorption methods are used, then the structure is simple, but the anti-collision performance is poor
Solution Approach 1:

Each component absorbs impact energy through different mechanisms, distributing the load and preventing single-point failure, thereby extending service life under high impact energy conditions.
