Device for connecting a ship to a shore-based power supply network

Abstract

The invention relates to a device 1 for connecting a ship to a shore-based power supply network, wherein a shore-based coupling unit 2 for connection to a cable-bound ship-based plug connector is movable in a rail-guided manner and is connected via at least one power supply line 16, 17 to the shore-based power supply network, wherein the coupling unit 2 is arranged on a travelling mechanism 4 whose wheels 5, 6 are arranged side by side in two tracks 7, 8, wherein one track 7 is rail-bound with respect to a rail 9 which is arranged on the waterway side on a vertical side a quay wall 3, wherein the travelling mechanism 4 overlaps mooring apparatuses 11 projecting from a top side 10 of the quay wall 3, such that the second track 8 is arranged on a side of the mooring apparatuses 11 remote from the water.

1 . A device for connecting a ship to a shore-based power supply network, wherein a shore-based coupling unit for connection to a cable-bound ship-based plug connector is movable in a rail-guided manner and is connected via at least one power supply line to the shore-based power supply network, wherein the coupling unit is arranged on a travelling mechanism whose wheels are arranged side by side in two tracks ( 7 ,  8 ), wherein one track is rail-bound with respect to a rail which is arranged on the waterway side on a waterway side of a quay wall, wherein the travelling mechanism overlaps mooring apparatuses projecting from a top side ( 10 ) of the quay wall, such that the second track ( 8 ) is arranged on a side of the mooring apparatuses remote from the waterway. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , characterized in that the second track is non-rail-bound. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein least one channel which is open at the top is arranged next to the rail, wherein the power supply line is arranged in the channel. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the rail is arranged at an upper end of a channel which is open at the top, wherein the power supply line is arranged in the channel and can be driven over by a rail-bound wheel. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a line drum is arranged on the travelling mechanism, wherein the line drum has an axis of rotation (D) transverse to the rail and is arranged above the rail. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the power supply line is connected by way of one end to a central connection point of the quay wall and by way of another end to the line drum, wherein the power supply line is guided by a line diverter, which is arranged on the quay wall, such that the power supply line can be laid starting from the connection point in opposite directions on both sides of the connection point into the channels which are open at the top. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one channel is arranged vertically below the line drum with single or multiple winding, such that the power supply line can be laid downwards into the channels in a winding plane of the line drum. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one impact protection system is arranged vertically below the rail and horizontally next to the rail on the waterway side. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the impact protection system is arranged at a horizontal distance, which is at least 250 mm from the centre of the rail, in order to form a free buffer zone.
