Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to water surface assembly platform equipment, and more specifically to a quick connection device for the water surface assembly platform and the water surface assembly platform. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of structural platform, the surface assembly platform is mainly used in lakes, inland rivers and sheltered sea areas to carry out survey and construction operations. Compared with traditional exploration ships or platforms, the surface assembly platform is highly flexible. It can be assembled into various shapes of floating platform structures according to actual needs to meet different construction requirements. It can even add power modules or pile leg lifting modules to meet the operation requirements of special working conditions. The pontoons that make up the surface assembly platform can be very conveniently transported to the operation point using existing land or water transportation conditions. The pontoon connection design on the currently built surface assembly platform mostly adopts bolt connection or snap-on sliding overlap, which is difficult to install and disassemble, takes a long time, and has low reliability. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a quick connection device for a surface assembly platform and a surface assembly platform, and to provide a device with high structural strength, convenient loading and unloading, and capable of being quickly operated by a single person.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0026] In order to better understand the above technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a quick connection device for a water surface assembly platform, comprising:

[0028] The connecting member 15 is vertically inserted between two adjacent buoyancy boxes 3 to connect and fix the two adjacent buoyancy boxes 3 .

[0029] A plurality of latches 4 are arranged on the outer wall surface of the pontoon 3 to limit the relative vertical movement between two adjacent pontoons 3 to ensure that the deck surfaces on the tops of the two adjacent pontoons 3 are flush; at the same time, the latches 4 can also play a guiding role when assembling the pontoons 3, facilitating the rapid docking of the pontoons 3.

[0030] A plurality of latch openings 2 are also provided on the outer wall surface of the pontoon 3 to cooperate with latches 4 on adjacent pontoons 3 .

[0031] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 15 includes a connecting frame 7 , a top wedge block 6 , a bottom wedge block 9 and a top plate 5 .

[0032] The top wedge block 6 is connected to the top of the connecting frame 7 , and the bottom wedge block 9 is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 7 .

[0033] The top plate 5 is connected to the top of the top wedge block 6, and its main function is to perform vertical limiting to ensure that the connecting member 15 is flush with the deck surface on the top of the pontoon 3 after being in place.

[0034] The side of the connecting frame 7 is also provided with a shelf 11 and a limiting plate 12 . The shelf 11 is arranged at the upper end of the connecting frame 7 close to the top wedge block 6 , and the limiting plate 12 is arranged at the lower end of the connecting frame 7 close to the bottom wedge block 9 .

[0035] The connecting frame 7 is made of structural steel pipes with a support member in the middle. It can also be made into other structural forms to connect the top and bottom wedge blocks 6 and 9 according to actual needs.

[0036] The top wedge block 6 and the bottom wedge block 9 are both set as 8-shaped wedge blocks, and the two circle positions of the "8-shape" correspond to two adjacent pontoons 3 respectively, so as to limit the relative horizontal movement between the two adjacent pontoons 3.

[0037] Recombination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the buoyancy box 3 is provided with a plurality of slots 14 which are vertically inserted into and matched with the connecting members 15 .

[0038] A top female groove 10 is arranged at the top of the slot 14 , a bottom female groove 13 is arranged at the bottom, and a guide plate 8 is arranged above the bottom female groove 13 .

[0039] The main function of the shelf 11 is to keep the connector 15 in the lifting state, when the top and bottom wedge blocks 6 and 9 are separated from the top and bottom female slots 10 and 13. The shelf 11 can also position the upper end of the connector 15, and ensure that the top wedge block 6 can smoothly slide into the top female slot 10 after the connector 15 is hit laterally. The guide plate 8 is arranged close to the bottom female slot 13. In the process from the lifting state to the position, the limit plate 12 slides on the panel of the guide plate 8, so that the bottom wedge block 9 can smoothly slide into the bottom female slot 13. The sliding ends of the top wedge block 6 and the bottom wedge block 9 can be beveled according to actual needs for easy insertion.

[0040] The present invention also provides a surface assembly platform such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes a plurality of mutually connected pontoons 3, and the pontoons 3 are connected and fixed by the quick connection device 100 of the present invention. The number of longitudinal and transverse pontoons 3 of the assembled platform is determined according to the actual operation requirements. The fixing of the fence and mooring equipment on the platform deck can be designed in the form of plug-in in combination with the distribution of the top female slot 10.

[0041] The working process of the quick connection device of the present invention is as follows:

[0042] 1) During transportation, the quick connection device of the present invention can be transported alone or directly assembled on a pontoon for transportation. After the connector 15 is placed in place, the top plate 5 is flush with the deck surface on the top of the pontoon 3, and the top / bottom wedge blocks 6, 9 and the top / bottom female grooves 10, 13 fit tightly without shaking or falling off, ensuring safe and reliable transportation;

[0043] 2) When assembling the surface assembly platform on the working water surface, pull up the connector 15 on the assembly surface of the pontoon 3 to a certain height and then move it sideways, so that the shelf 11 is completely placed on the deck, and then use the cable to guide the latch 4 between the two pontoons 3 to be assembled into position and close together, and then slightly knock the connector 15 sideways, so that the connector 15 can quickly slide to the slot 14 position, and the two pontoons 3 are locked, which is convenient for loading and unloading and can be operated by one person;

[0044] 3) When the surface assembly platform needs to be moved after the operation is completed, after removing the deck outfitting and other accessories, use cables to bring the two pontoons 3 as close as possible, then pull the connecting piece 15 up to an appropriate height and move it sideways so that the shelf 11 is completely placed on the deck, and the outer pontoon 3 can be detached by dragging it with cables.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
