As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, between the holding blocks 12 and 13, there are respectively buffer panels 15 which are buffer bodies in which a plurality of empty chambers 15a are formed using a plastically deformable material such as steel. It is arranged. Collar portions 15b are provided at both ends of the cushioning panels 15, respectively. The flanges 15b of the cushioning panels 15 are inserted between the protrusions 12a, 13a of the adjacent holding blocks 12, 13 and the ends of the cover 14, respectively. , 13 so as to be movable up and down along with the holding blocks 12, 1
It is removable from above 3. Floating blocks 16 which are levitation bodies made of a material having a smaller specific gravity than liquid water (for example, rubber or resin) are provided on the wall surface of the buffer panel 15 on the pier 50 side.
Therefore, the buffer panel 15 is always located on the water surface which is the liquid surface according to the ebb and flow of the tide.

Such a collision protection equipment operates as follows. When a ship or the like in flight accidentally approaches the bridge pier 50 and collides with the buffer panel 15, the buffer panel 15 plastically deforms and absorbs the impact force at the time of collision, thereby preventing damage to the pier 50 and the ship. Since these cushioning panels 15 are inserted and held in the holding blocks 12 and 13 so as to be vertically movable, the cushioning panels 1 plastically deformed from above the work boat.
The buffer panel 15 is replaced by pulling 5 upward and inserting a new buffer panel 15 from above.
Therefore, the replacement work in water is completely unnecessary, and the work efficiency can be greatly improved.

Further, since the buffer panel 15 is held so as to be movable up and down and the levitation block 16 is attached, it moves vertically according to the ebb and flow of the tide and is always positioned on the water surface. Therefore, regardless of the magnitude of the tide difference, it is sufficient to use a buffer panel of the minimum necessary size, for example,
When the low tide difference is about 3.5 m, the size of about 10 m was conventionally required, but according to the present invention, the size of about 6 m is enough. For this reason, not only the arrangement of equipment is easy, but also the materials used are greatly reduced, and the cost is significantly reduced.

However, the same members as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, holding blocks 22 each having a projection 22a are provided at the corners of the pier 50, and these holding blocks 22 serve as a water surface 52a at high tide and at low tide. It straddles the water surface 52b. Covers 14 are provided on the outer surfaces of the holding blocks 22, respectively, and both side ends thereof are located near the protrusions 22a, respectively. The cushioning panels 15 are arranged between the holding blocks 22, and the flange portions 15 b of the cushioning panels 15 are provided with the protrusions 22 of the holding blocks 22.
The cushioning panels 15 are inserted between a and the end of the cover 14, respectively, and these cushioning panels 15 can be moved up and down, respectively, similarly to the above-described embodiment. These buffer panels 1
5 are provided with levitation blocks 16 respectively,
These buffer panels 15 are always located on the water surface according to the ebb and flow of the tide, as in the above-described embodiments.

Therefore, such a collision protection equipment operates in the same manner as the above-mentioned embodiment, and the same effect as the above-mentioned embodiment can be obtained.

Although the above-mentioned embodiment is applied to the protection of the piers 51 provided in a harbor or the like, the invention is not limited to this.
This is effective in the case of protecting a structure, such as a tower constructed on the sea, which is erected on the liquid surface of a vertically moving liquid, from an object moving on the liquid surface. In the embodiment described above, the buffer panel 15 in which a plurality of chambers 15a are formed using a plastically deformable material such as steel is used, but a buffer panel made of an elastic material such as rubber or resin may be used, for example. . In the above-described embodiment, the levitation block 16 made of a material having a smaller specific gravity than water, such as rubber or resin, is used.
A gas such as air may be hermetically sealed so that the specific gravity thereof is smaller than that of the liquid, or a metallic levitation box having a depressurized interior may be used.

[0019]

As described above, in the collision protection equipment according to the present invention, since the levitation body floats the buffer body above the liquid surface,
The buffer body moves up and down as the liquid surface moves up and down, and is always located on the liquid surface. For this reason, even if the vertical movement width of the liquid surface is large, it is possible to handle with a buffer body of the minimum necessary size, so that not only the installation of the equipment becomes easy, but also the cost is greatly reduced.

Further, since the shock absorber can be attached and detached from above the shock absorber holding member, the damaged shock absorber can be replaced on the liquid surface. Therefore, the replacement work becomes very easy, and the work efficiency is significantly improved.
