Description

[0001] Buoy Unit Including Foldable Balance Weight [0002]

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a buoy apparatus including a folding hub.

Generally, a buoy shall be installed in accordance with the provisions of the International Sea Level Marking of the International Air Traffic Signs Association (IALA) in order to induce safe navigation by marking the ship's course or to indicate the position where the safety of the ship, such as reefs and low water depths, shall.

On the other hand, in general, ships operating in the sea are often required to operate even under severe weather conditions. There are many cases where sudden typhoons or tsunamis are encountered at the time of operation. In such a case, There are many cases where they sink, collide with reefs or icebergs, and are stranded or sunk.

Therefore, in case of a sinking vessel, IALA shall install a new dangerous substance mark according to the international sea marking regulations.

FIG. 11 is a photograph showing a conventional buoy device, wherein the structure has a structure in which the center of gravity is attached to the lower part of the buoy device and is fixed to the lower end of the center-of-gravity adding buoy device.

Most of these buoys are manufactured using iron, PVC, polyurethane foil buoys, so they are bulky and heavy, which makes transportation and installation difficult.

That is, in the case of large-sized buoys, the weight of the buoys is very large, so there is a great difficulty in holding the buoys to the buoy installation site, and there is a disadvantage that the buoys can not withstand the typhoons or high waves due to structural problems and are lost or destroyed.

In addition, since the weight of the center of gravity must be provided at the lower part of the buoy body, the installation structure is complicated, and a heavy load is applied to the body.

Furthermore, in the structure provided below the center of gravity addition, there is inconvenience that it must be laid down when transporting, and transportation cost is increased, and it is not easy to store.

As a result, conventional buoys are difficult to move and transport, and there is a problem that installation difficulty and breakage are greatly increased.

Specifically, the foamed resin material may include polystyrene or polyurethane material, the waterproof layer may be a structure in which a polyurea material is applied to the surface, a metal or plastic material is used to form an outer shape But the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, blue and yellow stripes may be formed in the vertical direction on the surface of the buoy body 110 according to the international standard.

FIG. 5 is an internal cross-sectional view of a buoy device including a folding backbone according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a side view of the buoy device including the folding backbone of FIG. Side perspective view, and Fig. 7 is a bottom perspective view of the buoy device including the folding backbone of Fig.

8 is an internal cross-sectional view illustrating a structure in which a cusp is inserted in a buoy device including a folding cusp according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 is a sectional view of the buoy device including the folding cusp of Fig. And FIG. 10 is a bottom perspective view of the buoy device including the folding center of FIG.

5 to 7, a description will be made of a structure in which the cusp 200 is projected in the buoy device 10 including the folding cusp according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the buoy body 100 is buoyant, The center portion 200 may be moved to the lower end to catch the center of gravity of the buoy body 100 by the center 210.

The central pipe 220 of the trunk 200 along the inner pipe 130 located on the center axis of the buoy body 100 is positioned at the bottom of the buoy body 100, The center brace 230 coupled to the other end of the one end of the body 210 coupled to the body 210 is caught by the lower flange 120 so that the body 200 is completely released to the outside Can be prevented.

That is, the structure does not require a separate device or structure for projecting the central pipe 220 from the inner pipe 130, and the central pipe 210 moves to the bottom according to the weight of the central body 210 Can be achieved by adjusting the diameter of the inner pipe 130, the lower flange 110, the central body 210, the central pipe 220, and the central pivot 230.

Next, referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, a structure in which the cusp 200 is inserted in the buoy device 10 including the folding cusp according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The buoy device including the folding cusp Since the backbone 210 of the backbone 200 is in contact with the ground or the ship or the like when the backbone 200 is transported or stored in the buoy body 100, Structure.

Specifically, in a state in which the backbone 210 of the backbone 200 is in contact with the ground or a ship or the like, the buoy body 100 is moved in the lower direction by the weight of the buoy body 100, The central pipe 220 of the central part 200 moves to the upper part along the inner pipe 130 located at the central axis of the inner pipe 130 and the length of the central pipe 220 is shorter than the length of the inner pipe 130 So that the central pipe 220 can be stably inserted into the inner pipe 130.

Since the diameter of the cusp 210 is larger than the diameter of the cusp 230, the cusp 210 is located on the outer side of the cusp 210 and is caught by the cusp 230, The entire length of the buoy device 10 including the buoy device 10 can be kept standing on the ground or the ship with only the center 210 in a shortened state.

That is, the structure does not require a separate apparatus or configuration for inserting the central pipe 220 from the inner pipe 130, and the central pipe 220 is connected to the upper end The movement of the inner pipe 130, the lower flange 110, the central body 210, the central pipe 220, and the central pivot 230 can be achieved.
