[0050] As described in the background technology section, the pontoon is the main structure of offshore floating components such as piers, floating breakwaters, and floating docks. It mainly provides a floating platform for large equipment such as vehicles and engineering machinery, or serves as a wave-breaking structure for breakwaters. It is widely used because of its easy assembly and convenient deployment through road and rail transportation. However, the existing pontoons still have certain disadvantages. On the one hand, the existing pontoons have a single structure, which is not convenient for rapid disassembly and assembly and splicing, and cannot meet the needs of nearshore equipment loading and unloading through diversified use; on the other hand, when the wind and waves are strong in the nearshore area, the tides rise and fall frequently, and the existing pontoons are greatly impacted by the tide, and it is difficult to maintain a stable state on the water surface; in addition, when water is injected into the pontoon, there is a certain amount of air inside the pontoon, which makes it difficult for water to be injected or stored into the box, affecting the use effect of the pontoon.

[0051] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 9 The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail.

[0052] In view of this, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the present application provides a spliced ​​offshore multi-purpose buoyancy box, including a box body 1, a piping system 10 arranged in the box body 1, a connecting component 5 arranged on the box body 1, and a fastening component 3 fixed to the box body 1 by the connecting component 5, wherein the piping system 10 is provided with at least two groups, and at least one group of piping systems 10 is provided at each end of the box body 1; the connecting component 5 is used to fix the auxiliary components and the fastening component 3 on the box body 1, and is also used to splice adjacent boxes 1; the fastening component 3 is used to provide a fastening position for the box body 1 when it is moored or loaded.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pontoon can be used as a storage device, a transfer device or a floating platform, wherein the interior of the pontoon can be used to store liquids such as fresh water; the pipe system 10 is arranged at both ends of the box body 1 to adjust the internal and external pressure difference. During the water diversion process, the pipe system 10 arranged at one end of the box body 1 is used for the injection or discharge of water flow, and the pipe system 10 arranged at the other end is used for the discharge or injection of air to ensure the smooth progress of the water diversion process; when water is injected into the box body 1, the overall weight of the pontoon can be increased, and the ability of the pontoon to resist wind and waves can be enhanced; and the box body 1 can be assembled through the connecting component 5 The box body 1 can be assembled into a pontoon group, a floating dock or a pier to provide a corresponding water surface platform. The driving device and other auxiliary components can also be installed on the box body 1 through the connecting component 5, so that the box body 1 can be used as a transfer equipment to transfer the items placed on the top thereof. By arranging a fastening component 3 on the box body 1 and cooperating with accessories such as straps and ropes, the items can be fixedly tied to the box body 1, and when the pontoon, pontoon group or pier is close to the shore, it can also be fixed to the mooring device on the shore through the fastening component 3 and the rope to ensure that it has good stability.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the piping system 10 includes an upper channel 1001, a lower channel 1002 and a branch flow channel 1003, an inner chamber 8 and an outer chamber 9 are provided in the box body 1, both ends of the upper channel 1001 and both ends of the lower channel 1002 are connected to the inner chamber 8 and the outer chamber 9, the lower channel 1002 is located below the upper channel 1001, and the branch flow channel 1003 is provided with a first flow channel opening 1003A, a second flow channel opening 1003B and a third flow channel opening 1003C, the first flow channel opening 1003A is connected to the outside of the box body 1, the second flow channel opening 1003B and the third flow channel opening 1003C are both connected to the outer chamber 9, and the second flow channel opening 1003B is located above the third flow channel opening 1003C.

[0055] Specifically, the pipe system 10 is used to guide water to the pontoon so that the pontoon can store liquid, or the weight of the pontoon can be increased by injecting water into the pontoon body 1 to improve the pontoon's ability to resist wind and waves. Taking the injection and drainage of water into the pontoon as an example, wherein:

[0056] When water is injected into the buoyancy chamber, the pipe systems 10 at both ends of the chamber 1 are opened, and water is introduced into the pipe system 10 set at one end of the chamber 1 by using an external pipe, so that the water flows into the branch channel 1003 through the first flow channel opening of the pipe system 10, and flows into the outer chamber 9 through the third flow channel opening 1003C and / or the second flow channel opening 1003B of the branch channel 1003; since the upper channel 1001 is located above the lower channel 1002, the water in the outer chamber 9 flows into the inner chamber 8 through the lower channel 1002, and the air in the inner chamber 8 is pressed into the outer chamber 9 through the upper channel 1001; at the same time, using the chamber The pipe system 10 at the other end of the box 1 can extract / discharge the air inside the box 1. Since the second flow channel opening 1003B is located above the third flow channel opening 1003C, the air in the outer cabin 9 can enter the corresponding branch flow channel 1003 through the second flow channel opening 1003B at the other end of the box 1, and then be extracted / discharged outside the device through the first flow channel opening 1003A in the branch flow channel 1003, ensuring that the air pressure in the box 1 is not greater than that in the outside, and ensuring that the water flows smoothly into the outer cabin 9; continuously injecting water into the buoyancy box can increase the weight of the buoyancy box and gradually sink it into the water. The buoyancy box submerged in the water has better stability;

[0057] When the pontoon needs to be floated or the water source stored therein needs to be used, the pipe system 10 is opened to connect the inner cabin 8 with the outer cabin 9, and the pipe system 10 arranged at one end of the box body 1 is used to inject air / ventilate the box body 1 through an external pipe, so that the air enters the branch channel 1003 through the first channel opening 1003A, and then enters the outer cabin 9 through the second channel opening 1003B and / or the third channel opening 1003C of the branch channel 1003. The air in the outer cabin 9 will enter the inner cabin 8 through the upper channel 1001, ensuring that the air pressure inside and outside the box body 1 is stable. At this time, the pipe system 10 arranged at the other end of the box body 1 pumps water outward, so that the water flows into the branch channel 1003 through the third channel opening 1003C and / or the second channel opening 1003B of the branch channel 1003, thereby pumping water out of the outer cabin 9.

[0058] Optionally, the above-mentioned water pumping and water injection devices may adopt a water pump, and the air pumping and air injection devices may adopt an air pump. If the buoyancy box does not need to be sunk into the water, the first channel opening 1003A of the branch channel 1003 can also be directly connected to the external environment to ensure the balance of internal and external air pressures; in addition to being able to store fresh water, the box body 1 also has the ability to store other liquids. At the same time, after the buoyancy box sinks, in order to accurately grasp the sinking position of the buoyancy box, a marking buoy can be set on the water surface, and the external pipeline can be tied to the buoy with a rope, or the buoy and the buoy can be directly connected by a rope to mark the position of the buoy.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, an exchange hole 14 is provided on the box body 1, and an exchange joint 15 is provided in the exchange hole 14, and the exchange joint 15 is connected to the first flow channel opening 1003A. By arranging the exchange structure in the exchange hole 14 to accommodate the exchange joint 15, it is avoided that the exchange joint 15 arranged on the box body 1 affects the flatness of its surface;

[0060] Optionally, in order to protect the exchange joint 15 in the exchange hole 14, a sealing plug such as a rubber plug or a cork plug can be inserted in the exchange hole 14 to prevent the exchange joint 15 from being damaged due to long-term exposure, and also to avoid clogging due to the accumulation of other impurities.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, at least two groups of inner cabins 8 are provided, and each group of inner cabins 8 is connected to the outer cabin 9 through an upper channel 1001 and a lower channel 1002. By providing multiple groups of inner cabins 8, the water flow entering the inner cabins 8 can be evenly distributed, so that the mass distribution in the pontoon is even, thereby ensuring that the pontoon, pontoon combination or pier can maintain a stable state in the waves.

[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, an upper channel control valve 11, a lower channel control valve 12 and a flow channel control valve 13 are respectively provided on the box body 1, wherein the upper channel control valve 11 is used to control the opening and closing of the upper channel 1001; the lower channel control valve 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the lower channel 1002; and the flow channel control valve 13 is used to control the opening and closing of the branch flow channel 1003.

[0063] Specifically, by arranging an upper channel control valve 11, a lower channel control valve 12 and a flow channel control valve 13 on the box body 1, the upper channel 1001, the lower channel 1002 and the branch flow channel 1003 in the pipeline system 10 can be individually controlled to avoid mutual interference and ensure that the pipeline system 10 can smoothly carry out water diversion work.

[0064] Such as 1. Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the accessory components include an external power unit 2 for driving the box body 1 to move, and the external power unit 2 includes a fixing part 21 and a power component 22, wherein the fixing part 21 includes a mounting plate 2102 and a fixing plate 2101, and the mounting plate 2102 is connected to the box body 1 by a connecting part 5, and the fixing plate 2101 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 2102, and the planes where the two are located are perpendicular to each other; the power component 22 is connected to the fixing plate 2101, and the power unit is used to provide driving force.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the accessory components can adopt an external power unit 2 with a driving function.

[0067] Specifically, the power component 22 provides driving force for the pontoon or pontoon group to drive it to transfer, wherein the power cabin 2201 is used as the placement area of ​​the power device, and the power device arranged inside it provides the power required for the transfer, and the transmission gear cabin 2202 is used as the placement area of ​​the transmission, and the transmission transmits the power to the input end of the propeller 2203, and the thrust generated by the propeller 2203 is used to drive the pontoon or pontoon group to move; wherein the power component 22 can adopt a driving device such as an internal combustion engine or an electric motor.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the fastening component 3 includes a connecting plate 301 and a fastening ring 302 . The connecting plate 301 is fixed to the box body 1 by the connecting component 5 , and the fastening ring 302 is rotatably disposed on the connecting plate 301 .

[0069] Specifically, the container 1, pontoon group or floating platform can be fastened to the shore when moored by using the fastening components 3 and ropes, so as to reduce the influence of water surface fluctuations on the stability of the container 1; at the same time, when the container 1 or pontoon group is used as a transfer equipment, the items placed on the container 1 can be fixed by ropes; the fastening component 3 is fixed to the container 1 by using the connecting component 5, which is convenient for disassembly and firmly fixed; when in use, the end of the rope can be tied to the tie ring 302, and the tie ring 302 provides a fastening point. Since the tie ring 302 is rotatably set on the connecting plate 301, it can be changed according to the stretching direction of the rope to ensure the firmness of the rope fastening.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, an assembly area and an assembly groove 6 are correspondingly provided on the box body 1, an assembly hole is opened in the assembly area, the assembly hole is communicated with the assembly groove 6, and the connecting component 5 is passed through the assembly hole. By providing the assembly area and the assembly hole on the box body 1, an assembly position can be provided for other auxiliary components such as the fastening component 3 and the external power unit 2, and by providing the assembly groove 6 on the box body 1, an assembly space can be provided for the connecting component 5, so that the operator can install or splice it on the box body 1.

[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting component 5 is configured as a bolt fastener, and the bolt fastener is inserted into the assembly hole. The fastening component 3 and the external power unit 2, the head module 4 and other auxiliary components can be installed on the box body 1 by using the bolt fastener. Adjacent pontoons can also be spliced ​​together to form a pontoon assembly, a pier or a floating platform, and connected by bolt fasteners. The connection is tight, firm and reliable, and the overall body is good, ensuring that the spliced ​​pontoon assembly is more stable.

[0072] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a docking assembly 7 is provided on the box body 1, and the docking assembly 7 is fixed to the box body 1 by a connecting component 5, and the docking assembly 7 is used to connect adjacent boxes 1, and the docking assembly 7 includes a docking plate 701 and a fixing pin 702, and two docking plates 701 are provided, each docking plate 701 is respectively connected to the adjacent box body 1, and each docking plate 701 is provided with a docking part, and the fixing pin 702 is correspondingly penetrated in the docking part to connect the two.

[0073] Specifically, the docking assembly 7 can be used to splice adjacent boxes 1, and the two docking plates 701 in the docking assembly 7 are respectively fixed to the assembly area of ​​the box 1 using the connecting parts 5, so that the boxes 1 are brought close to each other until the docking parts on the two docking plates 701 correspond to each other. At this time, the fixing pins 702 are successively inserted into the docking parts to connect the adjacent boxes 1. Compared with directly connecting adjacent buoyant boxes with bolt fasteners, when the docking assembly 7 is used for connection, slight displacement can be achieved between the adjacent boxes 1, which can reduce the stress generated at the connection of the docking assembly 7 and improve the reliability of the connection between the adjacent boxes 1.

[0074] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the accessory components also include a head module 4, the head module 4 is provided with a transfer slope, and the head module 4 is connected to the box body 1 by a connecting component 5.

[0075] Specifically, the head module 4 and the box body 1 can be connected by a connecting component 5, and its ends can be spliced ​​when the box body 1 is used as a transfer equipment or a pier. A transfer slope is provided on the head module 4 so that the box body 1 or the floating box group can abut against the shore when docked, which is convenient for transporting vehicles or goods to be transferred to the top of the box body 1.

[0076] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, a method for splicing any of the above buoyancy boxes is provided, comprising:

[0077] Adjacent tank bodies 1 are fastened and connected by connecting components 5 to obtain a buoyancy tank group;

[0078] The connecting member 5 is used to connect any one or more of the fastening member 3 and the accessory member to the buoyancy chamber assembly.

[0079] Specifically, in order to expand the use and application scope of the pontoons, the pontoons can be spliced ​​or used in combination, and the external drive unit, the head module 4 and other auxiliary components can be assembled to the box body 1 using the connecting component 5, so that the pontoon can be used as a transfer equipment, and the items on the pontoon can be tied and fixed by installing and using the fastening component 3; similarly, the pontoons can be assembled into floating platforms such as piers or floating docks according to actual needs, which can be used as water surface platforms.

[0080] In some embodiments, adjacent boxes 1 are connected by bolt fasteners or docking assemblies 7. When adjacent pontoons are assembled directly using bolt fasteners, the connection between the boxes 1 is relatively tight, and the formed pontoon group or pier has good integrity. When the docking assemblies 7 are used for connection, the splicing process between the boxes 1 is relatively simple, and the stress generated between the pontoons is relatively small.

[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, a method for using any of the above buoyancy boxes is provided, comprising:

[0082] The control pipeline system 10 is opened, water is injected into the box body 1 by using the pipeline system 10 provided at one end of the box body 1, and air is evacuated from the box body 1 by using the pipeline system 10 provided at the other end of the box body 1;
