The Research of Intelligent Unmanned Mooring Device for Smart Port

The intelligent unmanned mooring device adopts a multi-link mechanism and vacuum adsorption design, which can perform heave, surge, and sway actions to adapt to the mooring postures of different ships. The use of flow control valves and accumulators in hydraulic circuits can achieve appropriate dynamic response and oscillation reducing effects on ship oscillation without manual intervention and power consumption. By using multiple sets of distance sensors to detect the position and angle of the ship, and controlling the extension and rotation of multiple sets of mooring devices in parallel mode, the ship’s position can be autonomously and intelligently aligned during mooring. It is an intelligent, environmentally friendly, safe, and efficient mooring device suitable for use in smart ports.
