DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] At present, due to the limited space in the dock and the fact that the existing dock doors are generally large in size and heavy in weight, it is difficult to float and install or store the dock doors. Accordingly, the present invention provides a construction method for floating and installing the dock doors and a construction method for floating and storing the dock doors.

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely expressed in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments expressed in this application are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. According to the spirit of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, a construction method for floating installation of a dock door according to the present invention comprises: S1, use tugboat 7 to tow dock door 6 to the point: In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S1, after the dock door 6 is shipped to the anchorage, the dock door 6 is towed to the front edge of the dock port by a tying and towing method, and the front edge of the dock port is the position of the towing entry point.

[0024] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S1, the tugboat is a 2000 horsepower tugboat.

[0025] The dock gate refers to the watertight gate that seals the dock entrance. The dock gate bears the water pressure outside the dock when closed. The dock gate is required to be watertight and easy to open and close. The dock entrance is the part of the dock that is connected to the water area longitudinally, that is, the entrance of the dock. The structure of the dock entrance includes gate piers, horizontal bottom sills, gate grooves, etc. It is the connecting part of the waterway and the dock room, and it is also a hydraulic structure supporting the dock gate. The structure of the dock entrance depends on the geological conditions and the type of dock gate selected. Modern large docks usually set the drainage pump room and the filling valve room in the side wall of the dock entrance, and the filling corridor is set in the sill. The capacity of the filling pipe is usually greater than that of the drainage pipe, so the filling time is generally shorter than the drainage time.

[0026] In practical applications, the specific method of towing the dock door to the front of the dock port by tying and towing is: towing the dock door to the front of the dock port by using a motor boat or a tugboat 7.

[0027] S2, cable and support the dock door 6: In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S2, the dock door 6 is roped to the electric winch of the dock pier by a cable 2, and the dock door 6 is driven into the door slot of the dock entrance by the electric winch, and then the dock door 6 is supported by a tugboat 7.

[0028] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S2, the number of electric winches is two, the two electric winches are respectively the first electric winch 3 and the second electric winch 4, the first electric winch 3 and the second electric winch 4 are respectively arranged on two dock piers located on both sides of the dock door 6, and the two dock piers are respectively the first dock pier and the second dock pier, thereby using a cable 2 to bring the dock door 6 to the first electric winch 3 and the second electric winch 4 respectively arranged on the first dock pier and the second dock pier, that is, the cable 2 is wound around the first electric winch 3 and the second electric winch 4 and connected to the dock door 6. The dock pier is a pier located at the bottom of the dock for supporting the hull. The English name of the dock pier is docking block. In a specific application scenario, the main function of the dock pier is to support the hull and ensure that the ship can be stably docked when entering the dry dock for maintenance or modification. The design and installation of the dock pier need to strictly follow the specifications of ship engineering to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the ship and various stresses that may occur during the maintenance process.

[0029] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S2, the tugboat 7 abuts against the dock door 6 by relying on an abutment point 1 where the tugboat 7 and the dock door 6 contact each other.

[0030] S3, fill the ballast water tank at the bottom of the dock gate 6 with water until the dock gate 6 sinks into place: In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S3, the water filling valve of the ballast water tank is opened, and the ballast water tank at the bottom of the dock gate begins to be filled with water. After the dock gate 6 gradually sinks to the preset dock gate seating position, that is, after the dock gate 6 sinks into place, the water filling valve of the ballast tank on the dock chamber side is closed, and the water filling butterfly valve on the water filling pipe is also closed.

[0031] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S3, the water injection valve of the ballast water tank is connected to the inside of the ballast water tank, and the water injection valve of the ballast water tank is arranged on the side of the dock chamber. The water injection pipe provided with a water injection butterfly valve is used to be connected with the water injection valve of the ballast tank at one end when the ballast water tank at the bottom of the dock gate 6 is filled with water, and the other end is connected with the tap water source. Thus, the water injection valve of the ballast tank and the water injection butterfly valve of the water injection pipe can be opened to fill the ballast water tank at the bottom of the dock gate 6. The dock chamber is a dry dock space surrounded by the dock bottom, dock wall and dock door. The dock chamber is the core part of the dry dock and is used for building and repairing ships. The dock chamber is composed of dock wall and dock bottom plate, and can accommodate space for repairing and building hulls. In use, the dock chamber is required to have sufficient area, depth and carrying capacity. The dock chamber is generally provided with a dock irrigation and drainage system, a boat keel pier, an anti-collision device, a pedestrian staircase, etc. The plane shape of the dock is often made into a trapezoid according to the shape of the hull, and its top surface elevation is generally flush with the shipyard floor.

[0032] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S3, the number of the water injection valves of the ballast water tank is six.

[0033] S4, after the dock gate sinks into place, drain the dock mouth.

The dock door gradually sinks. After the dock door is seated, close the filling valve of the ballast tank on the dock room side, and close the filling butterfly valve; After confirming that the above operations have been completed, activate the installed temporary water pump to promptly drain the water in the dock to ensure that the water level in the dock is always lower than the water level on the harbor side until the pumping of water in the dock is completed. The overall process is as follows: S1, after the dock door is shipped to the anchorage, the dock door is towed to the front of the dock entrance by tying and towing; S2, using a cable to tie the dock door to an electric winch on the dock pier, driving the dock door into the door slot through the electric winch, and then using a tugboat to assist in leaning against the dock door; S3, open the water injection valve of the ballast water tank, and the ballast tank at the bottom of the dock door begins to be filled with water. After the dock door gradually sinks until it is seated, close the water injection valve of the ballast tank on the dock chamber side, and close the water injection butterfly valve; S4, activate the installed temporary water pump to drain the water in the dock in time, ensuring that the water level in the dock is always lower than the water level on the harbor side until the water is pumped out of the dock.

[0035] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in S4, the installed temporary water pump is activated to discharge the water in the dock in time to ensure that the water level in the dock is always lower than the water level on the harbor side until the pumping of water in the dock is completed.
