Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of breakwater technology, and in particular relates to a fast-water-filled floating breakwater. Background Art

[0002] Breakwaters are underwater structures built to block the impact of waves, enclose harbors, maintain a stable water surface in harbors to protect ports from bad weather, and allow ships to anchor and operate safely.

[0003] Floating breakwaters can be used as temporary protection due to their mobility, fast construction speed, short construction period, and reusability. They play a role in many engineering projects, such as ensuring the safety of offshore engineering construction, protecting the navigation of ships entering and leaving the port, and serving as a protective facility when transshipping cargo between ships at the estuary; as a temporary military protection facility and mobile dock, they can achieve quick installation and disassembly, and ensure the rapid temporary landing and transfer of military supplies and weapons.

[0004] However, the existing floating breakwaters have a relatively complex configuration, and are mostly made of steel or marine engineering concrete C50. In addition, they are huge in size and naturally have a large mass. Long-distance transportation will cause the construction cost of the floating breakwater to increase sharply, making it impossible to achieve the goal of economic efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to solve the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a fast-filling floating breakwater.

[0006] Technical solution: A fast-filling floating breakwater of the present invention comprises a plurality of water surface wave-breaking structures, a connecting structure for connecting the water surface wave-breaking structures and an anchoring system for fixing the water surface wave-breaking structures. The water surface wave-breaking structures comprise a water-filled rubber buoy and flanges installed at both ends of the rubber buoy. The connecting structure comprises a plurality of fixing brackets, a connecting anchor chain and a connector. The fixing bracket is connected to the flange, and the corresponding fixing brackets of two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures are connected by the anchor chain (the distance between two laterally adjacent wave-breaking structures is 1 to 3 meters); and two longitudinally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures are connected by connecting the anchor chain and the connector (the distance between two longitudinally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures is 4 to 10 meters), thereby realizing the connection of multiple rows of wave-breaking structures into a whole; the anchoring system comprises a mooring chain and a high-grip anchor, one end of the mooring chain is connected to the fixing bracket, and the other end of the mooring chain is fixed to the high-grip anchor.

[0007] In order to enhance the stability of the breakwater, the flange is a steel flange, which is connected to the rubber buoy by welding or bolts as a whole. The surface of the flange is provided with anti-collision rubber and wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates, which are both made of rubber. The upper and lower bottom surfaces of the wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates are rectangular, and the longitudinal section is an isosceles trapezoid; the lower bottom surface is fixed to the flange, and the thickness of the wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates decreases along the short side direction. The wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates are deformed when encountering waves, which can eliminate the waves between two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures, and the anti-collision rubber can reduce the impact between two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures.

[0008] Furthermore, the rubber surface of the rubber float is made of corrosion-resistant rubber (for example, made of natural rubber of a certain thickness, and the thickness of the rubber surface is related to the sea conditions in the sea area where the breakwater is located and the diameter of the steel ring, and the thickness here is between 4cm and 8cm), and the inside of the rubber surface is filled with steel rings to prevent the rubber from deforming too much and causing the annular ballast water tank to be pressurized and leak; a number of annular ballast water tanks are installed inside the rubber float, and at the same time, the rest of the space inside the rubber float except the ballast water tank is filled with solid fillers, so that the annular ballast water tanks are arranged at intervals from the solid fillers to form multiple sub-chambers. Four annular ballast water tanks arranged at intervals are formed by solid fillers, which are smaller in volume than the prior art and can achieve faster water filling.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing bracket is U-shaped, the connector is made of a rectangular steel plate, holes are opened at each corner of the connector, one end of the connecting anchor chain is fixed to the opening, and the other end of the connecting anchor chain is fixed to the fixing bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, a hollow cylindrical force-bearing rubber cylinder is provided in the middle of the rubber float, and the force-bearing rubber cylinder is filled with solid filler.

[0011] Furthermore, each pressure water tank is provided with a water filling valve and an air outlet valve.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention greatly reduces the mass of the entire device by adopting a rubber float that can be filled with water and contains solid fillers, making it more convenient to transport and reducing construction costs, thereby achieving the purpose of economy and high efficiency; at the same time, the present invention can quickly connect several water surface wave-breaking structures into a whole through a fixed bracket, connecting anchor chains and a connector to jointly resist waves.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a fast-filling floating breakwater of the present invention comprises a plurality of water surface wave-breaking structures, a connecting structure for connecting the water surface wave-breaking structures and an anchoring system for fixing the water surface wave-breaking structures. The water surface wave-breaking structures comprise a rubber buoy 1 which can be quickly filled with water and a flange 11 installed at both ends of the rubber buoy 1. The connecting structure comprises a plurality of fixing brackets 9, a connecting anchor chain 12 and a connector 13. The fixing bracket 9 is connected to the flange 11, and the corresponding fixing brackets 9 of two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures are connected by the anchor chain (the distance between two laterally adjacent wave-breaking structures is 1 meter to 3 meters); and the two longitudinally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures are connected by the connecting anchor chain 12 and the connector 13, thereby realizing that a plurality of rows of wave-breaking structures are connected into a whole; the anchoring system comprises a mooring chain and a large-holding anchor, one end of the mooring chain is connected to the fixing bracket 9, and the other end of the mooring chain is fixed to the large-holding anchor.

[0021] In order to enhance the stability of the breakwater, the flange 11 is a steel flange 11, and the flange 11 is connected to the rubber buoy 1 as a whole by welding or bolting. The surface of the flange 11 is provided with an anti-collision rubber 10 and a wedge-shaped wave-breaking plate 14, and the wedge-shaped wave-breaking plate 14 and the anti-collision rubber 10 are both made of rubber. The wedge-shaped wave-breaking plate 14 deforms to a certain extent with the movement of the waves, thereby eliminating the waves between two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures, and the anti-collision rubber 10 can reduce the impact between two laterally adjacent water surface wave-breaking structures.

[0022] In this embodiment, the rubber surface layer 6 of the rubber float 1 is made of natural rubber of a certain thickness, and the inside of the rubber surface layer 6 is filled with a steel ring 15, which can prevent the rubber from deforming too much and causing the annular ballast water tank 8 to be pressurized and leak. A plurality of annular ballast water tanks 8 (4 are arranged in this embodiment) are installed inside the rubber float 1. At the same time, the remaining space inside the rubber float 1 except the ballast water tank 8 is filled with solid filler 7, so that the annular ballast water tank 8 is arranged apart from the solid filler 7 to form a plurality of sub-chambers. Each sub-chamber has a water injection valve 2 and an air outlet valve 3. The division of multiple chambers can arrange multiple water injection valves 2 and air outlet valves 3, which is conducive to quickly filling the chamber with liquid.

[0023] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate disassembly and installation, the fixing bracket 9 is U-shaped (other shapes may also be used). In order to enhance stability and service life, the connecting body 13 is made of a rectangular steel plate, and holes are opened at each corner of the connecting body 13. One end of the connecting anchor chain 12 is fixed to the hole, and the other end of the connecting anchor chain 12 is fixed to the fixing bracket 9. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an anti-collision rubber 10 is arranged at the center position of the surface of the flange 11 in this embodiment, and wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates 14 are vertically installed on both sides of the anti-collision rubber 10, and the height of the wedge-shaped wave-breaking plates 14 is lower than the height of the anti-collision rubber 10.

[0024] In order to reduce the mass of the entire device and increase the overall buoyancy of the breakwater, a hollow cylindrical force-bearing rubber cylinder 16 is provided in the middle of the rubber float 1 , and the force-bearing rubber cylinder 16 is filled with a solid filler 7 .

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the U-shaped fixing bracket 9 is welded on the flange 11 of the opening 17, and the mooring system includes an end mooring chain 4 and a Y-shaped mooring chain 5. One end of the end mooring chain 4 and one end of the Y-shaped mooring chain 5 are respectively connected to the fixing bracket 9 on the flange 11, and the other end of the end mooring chain 4 and the other end of the Y-shaped mooring chain 5 are respectively connected to the large holding power anchor, so that the entire breakwater is fixed in the target waters and achieves the wave-breaking effect. The end mooring chain 4, the Y-shaped mooring chain 5 and the large holding power anchor are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water surface wave-breaking structure.

[0026] During the implementation process, according to the size of the protected water area, an appropriate number of water surface wave-breaking structural units are selected, and adjacent water surface wave-breaking structural units are connected through a connecting structure to form a water surface wave-breaking device, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening waves as a whole. During installation, each component is transported to the destination, and each water surface wave-breaking structure is connected into a whole through a U-shaped fixing bracket 9, a steel flange 11, a rectangular connector 13 and a connecting anchor chain 12. Water is injected into the rubber buoy 1 through a water injection valve 2, and then the fixing bracket 9 is connected to the mooring system, and positioning is performed to complete the installation.
