Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a self-floating, diving, positioning and installing device for a steel frame using air bags to assist floating, and a construction method. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of marine engineering, there are many steel frames installed on the seabed to provide support for the upper equipment. For example, the jacket of the offshore drilling platform is a typical steel frame used to support the upper oil production module. It is usually huge in size, tens of meters long and high, with a total volume of several thousand tons to tens of thousands of tons. As the base of offshore wind power, the base steel frame is also installed on the seabed in the form of legs, and the stress state of the base is relatively complex, requiring high installation accuracy. Currently, in the seafood farming industry, it is popular to install steel frames carrying many breeding boxes in designated offshore breeding areas. In order to pursue larger breeding space, the steel frame is huge in size, but the weight is relatively light compared to the jacket, and the installation accuracy is low. Steel frames with similar structures to the above meet the special needs of various industries, and the design, manufacture, installation and future removal of the steel frame have become professional technologies.

[0003] During the installation of steel frames, floating crane installation is generally used. Usually, after the construction site is completed, it is transferred to a ship or semi-submersible vessel. After being transported to the installation site, another floating crane is used to lift the steel frame, and then it is lowered to the seabed by a crane. After positioning, the subsequent piling and fixing operations are carried out. This is a more traditional construction process method with a complete process, rich construction experience, and low construction risk. However, in practice, floating crane resources are often limited. Sometimes it takes half a year or a year to determine the construction schedule of semi-submersible vessels and floating cranes. When there is tension or difficulty in coordination, the construction period is delayed. For large steel frames, the floating crane used has a large lifting capacity and the construction ship rental fee is high.

[0004] The patent (ZL201310363290.1) discloses a method for offshore installation of deepwater jackets using airbags. Several airbag groups are vertically installed on the upper part of the jacket, which can provide a certain buoyancy for the deepwater jacket. This helps to design the diameter of the rods in the wave-sensitive area to the minimum value allowed in the construction of the jacket rods, effectively reducing the environmental forces on the jacket and fundamentally reducing the demand for jacket stiffness. After the jacket is launched into the water, it can float vertically, but a floating crane is still required for lifting and positioning during construction. In actual applications, many construction plans are exploring non-lifting installation methods to reduce dependence on large floating cranes and reduce construction costs. Some construction projects actually use airbags to assist floating, which has a certain buoyancy effect, but still does not break away from dependence on various floating cranes. Moreover, in the actual use of air bags for buoyancy assistance, some problems are also exposed, such as positioning problems. Due to the impact of ocean currents on the air bags, the steel frame appears to sway or rock left and right in the water, making it impossible to position the crane and failing to achieve the positioning accuracy requirements of the installation site. For example, the difficulty in removing the buoyancy fixing points of the air bags requires divers to dive for manual removal. Due to the large number of hanging points, the removal operation takes a long time. The use of underwater robots in deep water areas results in higher equipment usage fees, resulting in the construction cost being saved on the rental of the floating crane, but more money being spent on removal. Summary of the invention

[0029] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a construction method of a self-floating submersible positioning installation device for a steel frame 1 using airbags to assist floating includes the following steps:

[0030] Step 1, install the positioning installation assembly on the steel frame 1, inflate the horizontal airbag 3 and the vertical airbag 2, place the steel frame 1 on the guide rail vehicle 5 and transport it to the semi-submersible ship 4, then tow the semi-submersible ship 4 to the installation site of the steel frame 1, and pre-tighten the steel frame 1 through four positioning ships 100. According to the layout diagram, all buoyancy devices are installed on the steel frame 1, including the horizontal airbag 3, the vertical airbag, the air pipeline, the inflation and deflation controller, the upper pull-up sling fixation, the lower pull-down sling fixation, the hydraulic unhooking device 13 and its hydraulic pipeline 12 and controller, the positioning anchor cable 6, and each airbag is inflated to reach the designed pressure, and the air pressure drop is monitored, the gas leakage fault is promptly eliminated, and the hydraulic unhooking device 13 is pre-tested to ensure smooth unhooking. Before self-floating preparation, check the pressure of each airbag or add gas; check the working status of each unhooking device; check the reliability of each airbag attachment point.

[0031] Step 2, the semi-submersible vessel 4 slowly dives, and under the buoyancy of the horizontal airbag 3 and the vertical airbag 2, the steel frame 1 is separated from the guide rail vehicle 5 and maintained in a stable floating state, and then the horizontal airbag 3 is deflated to make the steel frame 1 slowly dive; as the semi-submersible vessel 4 slowly dives, the steel frame 1 and the airbag also dive, and the airbag enters the water to generate buoyancy. As the diving depth increases, the buoyancy provided becomes larger and larger. When the buoyancy is balanced with the total weight, the steel frame 1 begins to float, and the semi-submersible vessel 4 continues to dive, then the bottom of the steel frame 1 is separated from the guide rail vehicle 5 on the semi-submersible vessel 4, so that the steel frame 1 is bent and floats freely. As the steel frame 1 floats, the positioning ships 100 at the four corners simultaneously tighten the anchor cables, and perform preliminary traction and fixation on the steel frame 1 to prevent it from drifting in a large range. When the distance between the bottom of the steel frame 1 and the guide rail vehicle 5 on the semi-submersible vessel 4 meets the safety requirements, the semi-submersible vessel 4 is moved out from the bottom of the steel frame 1, so that the steel frame 1 achieves bending and self-floating, and the positioning ship 100 ensures the fixation of its position and the stability of its posture.

[0032] Step 3, after the horizontal airbag 3 is completely deflated, the vertical airbag is deflated until the steel frame 1 continues to dive to the bottom installation position, the positioning ship 100 releases the cable in time, the hydraulic unhooking device 13 is automatically unhooked, and the horizontal airbag 3 and the vertical airbag float up for recovery. In step 3, in the process of deflation of the vertical airbag, the four groups of vertical airbags on the four corners of the steel frame 1 are deflated at the same time, and the three vertical airbags in each group of vertical airbags are deflated cyclically to ensure that the buoyancy of the steel frame 1 at the four corners remains consistent. In step 3, ballast water is added to the lumen of the steel frame 1 to increase the deadweight of the steel frame 1 and achieve the diving of the steel frame 1.

[0033] The buoyancy generated by the horizontal airbag 3 is reduced by deflating the airbag, thereby achieving the diving of the steel frame 1. The airbag should be deflated symmetrically and repeatedly to control the extent of the buoyancy reduction, thereby controlling the speed and stability of the dive. During the deflation process, the horizontal posture of the steel frame 1 should be monitored, and the deflation time and the deflated airbag should be adjusted in time. If the horizontal airbag 3 on one side is abnormal during the deflation process and cannot be closed and is always deflated, the buoyancy of the airbag on that side will be greatly lost, causing the steel frame 1 to tilt. This kind of accident should be designed with emergency measures in the following ways:

[0034] First, analyze the limit of the inclination angle of the steel frame 1 caused by the buoyancy loss of the airbag on one side. If it exceeds the value, the horizontal airbag 3 on each side should be changed from one to two to reduce the buoyancy loss, and formulate corresponding deflation rules;

[0035] Second, if there is no other plan, when the buoyancy of the horizontal airbag 3 on one side is lost, the airbag on the symmetrical side should be continuously deflated to reduce the buoyancy difference between the two symmetrical sides, thereby reducing the tilt of the steel frame 1;

[0036] If there is no other plan and the symmetrical side airbags cannot be released, the airbag side that loses buoyancy will sink, and the vertical airbags at both ends will begin to enter the water to generate buoyancy, which will reduce the buoyancy loss accordingly and reduce the degree of inclination. However, this will affect the effect of the buoyancy generated by the vertical airbags in the later stage. The inclination should be calculated and analyzed during the design.

[0037] Continue to deflate the horizontal airbag 3, the buoyancy decreases, and the steel frame 1 dives. As the depth of the steel frame 1 entering the water increases, the vertical airbags at the four corners generate buoyancy to make up for the buoyancy loss caused by the deflation of the horizontal airbag 3. In this way, the buoyancy loss of the horizontal airbag 3 is transferred to the increase in the buoyancy of the vertical airbag, thereby ensuring the overall buoyancy of the steel frame 1 and ensuring floating. At the same time, the positioning ships 100 at the four corners should retract and release the anchor cables in real time and tighten the steel frame 1 to ensure the accuracy of the positioning position of the steel frame 1. When the horizontal airbag 3 is completely deflated, the steel frame 1 dives to a certain depth as a whole and still has a floating state. In addition, it relies on the cylindrical sections of the vertical airbags on the four corners that remain on the water surface to produce better anti-tilting characteristics, a larger waterline area, and better stability.

[0038] The horizontal airbag 3 has no gas and cannot provide buoyancy. The floating of the steel frame 1 is completely transferred to the buoyancy generated by the vertical airbag. To continue to dive the steel frame 1 to the installation location, there are two ways:

[0039] First, the vertical airbags are deflated to reduce the buoyancy generated by the vertical airbags, so that the steel frame 1 dives. When the vertical airbags are deflated, the four airbag groups at the four corners should be deflated at the same time, that is, one airbag in each airbag group is deflated to ensure that the buoyancy of the remaining airbags in the group is stable, thereby reducing the risk of abnormal diving caused by excessive buoyancy loss. Each group of airbags should also be deflated in a cyclic manner to monitor the posture of the four corners in real time. At the same time, the positioning ships 100 at the four corners should track the changes in the tightness of the anchor cables in real time, and retract and release them to ensure the positioning position error of the steel frame 1.

[0040] Second, the airbags are not deflated, and ballast water is added to the tube cavity of the steel frame 1 to increase the deadweight of the steel frame 1 and achieve the diving of the steel frame 1. In this way, the control accuracy is high, and the speed and position of water addition should determine the stability of the steel frame 1, which is conducive to timely adjustment. When the steel frame 1 touches the bottom, each vertical airbag should be deflated in time, and the positioning ship 100 should release the anchor cable in time to prevent buoyancy or hull pulling the steel frame 1 to cause secondary displacement. The installation parameters should be checked after the bottom is seated.

[0041] The vertical airbag is deflated, and only a part of the air is left, which is conducive to the floating recovery of the airbag. The controller of the hydraulic unhooking device 13 is operated to unhook the hydraulic unhooking devices 13 of all airbags, so as to achieve underwater disconnection of each hanging point. After that, the airbag floats on the water surface, and the pipeline and air device are removed for recovery; other equipment is used to tow the airbag to the recovery ship for recovery.

[0042] The hydraulic unhooking device 13 uses a pin 17 to unhook. The pin 17 is connected to the lifting ring on the steel frame 1, and the lifting belt is passed through the upper lifting ear seat 14. In this way, the hydraulic unhooking device 13 connects the lifting belt and the lifting ring in series to transmit buoyancy. When it is necessary to dismantle, the hydraulic unhooking device 13 retracts the pin 17, and the pin 17 is removed from the hole of the lifting ring to achieve the removal of the lifting point. The hydraulic control pipelines between multiple hydraulic unhooking devices 13 are connected in series, and the sequential action of each unhooking device can be performed; multiple unhooking devices can also be connected in parallel to achieve simultaneous action and unhooking.

[0043] The above is only a preferred implementation of this patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of this patent. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of this patent.
