Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an anchoring and replenishment facility. Background Art

[0002] With the tightening of land construction land resources in the national territorial space planning, the construction of water-based buildings using water surface resources is a future development direction. The existing anchoring methods of ships are all that the ships carry their own anchors and throw the anchors in the designated anchorage, so that the anchors are固结 with the bottom bed, realizing that the ship is anchored and floating on the water surface after being towed for a certain distance. Since the anchoring position of the ship is uncertain each time, it is not conducive to the construction of supporting supply facilities. Therefore, the replenishment facilities supporting the anchorage have not developed. At the same time, both anchoring and weighing anchor will cause cutting and damage to the bottom bed, and sometimes the anchor may be abandoned due to anchor damage. And the underwater cable is already a mature technology, but it is not currently used in the anchorage, resulting in the inability to replenish the ship. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above deficiencies existing in the prior art, and the present invention provides an anchoring and replenishment facility.

[0004] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0005] An anchoring and replenishment facility, which includes an anchoring part and a replenishment part. The anchoring part includes an anchor chain base pile, an anchor chain and a first floating body. The anchor chain base pile is fixedly arranged on the bottom bed. One end of the anchor chain is connected to the anchor chain base pile, and the other end of the anchor chain is connected to the first floating body, so that the other end of the anchor chain is exposed above the water surface and is used to connect to a water-based building or a ship. The replenishment part includes a replenishment base pile, a replenishment pipeline and a self-floating replenishment facility joint. The replenishment base pile is fixedly arranged on the bottom bed. One end of the replenishment pipeline is connected to the replenishment base pile, and the other end of the replenishment pipeline is connected to the self-floating replenishment facility joint. The self-floating replenishment facility joint floats on the water surface and is electrically connected to the water-based building or the ship.

[0006] Further, the first floating body includes a connecting plate and two first floating balls. The two ends of the connecting plate are respectively connected to the two first floating balls, and the anchor chain is connected to the connecting plate.

[0007] Further, the anchor chain includes an anchor chain body, a limiting member and an anchor chain socket. An installation hole is formed on the connecting plate. One end of the anchor chain body is connected to the anchor chain base pile, and the other end of the anchor chain body passes through the installation hole and is connected to the limiting member and the anchor chain socket. The limiting member abuts against the connecting plate to limit the anchor chain from disengaging from the installation hole, and the anchor chain socket is connected to the water-based building or the ship.

[0008] Furthermore, the supply unit also includes a second float and a drift-blocking component. The second float is connected to the supply pipeline, and the drift-blocking component is connected to the supply pipeline and is stationary on the bottom bed.

[0009] Furthermore, there are multiple second floats, which are spaced apart on the supply pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the second float includes a second buoy and a connector, the top end of which is connected to the second buoy and the connector is connected to the supply line, and the bottom end of which extends downward and is connected to the drift-blocking component that is stationary on the bottom bed.

[0011] Furthermore, the self-floating supply facility connector includes a connector body and a handle. The connector body is connected to the top of the supply pipeline and floats on the water surface, while the handle is located on the water surface and connected to the top of the connector body.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two handles, which are located at opposite ends of the top of the connector body.

[0013] Furthermore, the self-floating supply facility connector also includes several rollers, all of which are connected to the side of the connector body.

[0014] Furthermore, the anchor chain foundation pile and the supply foundation pile are spaced apart on the seabed, and the anchor chain and the supply pipeline do not come into contact or become entangled.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention discloses an anchoring and replenishment facility. The anchoring section, via a first buoy, allows the anchor chain to protrude above the water surface for connection to floating structures or vessels. This facilitates both connection and disconnection, effectively avoiding damage to the seabed caused by traditional anchors. Simultaneously, the replenishment section, through replenishment pipelines and self-floating replenishment facility connectors, enables replenishment of anchored floating structures or vessels, thereby enhancing the functionality of the anchoring and replenishment facility.

[0050] The following description of the embodiments is taken with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate specific embodiments in which the invention can be implemented.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an anchoring and replenishment facility, which includes an anchoring section 1 and a replenishment section 2. The anchoring section 1 includes an anchor chain pile 11, an anchor chain 12, and a first float 13. The anchor chain pile 11 is fixedly installed on the seabed 10. One end of the anchor chain 12 is connected to the anchor chain pile 11, and the other end of the anchor chain 12 is connected to the first float 13, so that the other end of the anchor chain 12 protrudes above the water surface 20 and is used to connect with a floating structure or vessel 30. The anchoring section 1 achieves a stable connection with the seabed 10 through the anchor chain pile 11. The anchoring section 1 allows the anchor chain 12 to protrude above the water surface 20 through the first float 13. The floating structure or vessel 30 will be directly connected to the anchor chain 12 protruding above the water surface 20, thereby realizing the anchoring and stationing of the floating structure or vessel 30 on the water surface. When it is necessary to raise the anchor, the floating structure or vessel 30 only needs to disconnect from the anchor chain 12 protruding above the water surface 20. Connecting and disconnecting is very convenient, and it effectively avoids the damage to the seabed 10 caused by anchors in traditional anchoring and anchoring methods.

[0052] The supply unit 2 includes a supply foundation pile 21, a supply pipeline 22, and a self-floating supply facility connector 23. The supply foundation pile 21 is fixedly installed on the seabed 10. One end of the supply pipeline 22 is connected to the supply foundation pile 21, and the other end of the supply pipeline 22 is connected to the self-floating supply facility connector 23. The self-floating supply facility connector 23 floats on the water surface 20 and is connected to the floating structure or vessel 30. The supply unit 2 achieves a stable connection with the seabed 10 through the supply foundation pile 21. The supply pipeline 22 is connected to the anchored floating structure or vessel 30 via a self-floating supply facility connector 23, thereby enabling the supply of the anchored floating structure or vessel 30. This significantly improves the functionality of the anchoring supply facility, saves on port resources, and, with the tightening of land use for construction in national land space planning, utilizing surface water resources for the construction of floating structures is a future development direction, making the supply of these structures a market necessity. Furthermore, the self-floating supply facility connector 23 is self-floating, making connection and disconnection between the connector 23 and the anchored floating structure or vessel 30 very convenient and ensuring high safety and stability.

[0053] In this embodiment, there is one supply unit 2. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple supply units 2. The type of supply provided by the supply unit 2 may be electricity, gas, water, or telecommunications, etc. Strong and weak current lines and gas lines are not bundled together, while other pipelines may be bundled together.

[0054] The first floating body 13 includes a connecting plate 132 and two first buoys 131. The two ends of the connecting plate 132 are respectively connected to the two first buoys 131, and the anchor chain 12 is connected to the connecting plate 132. The anchor chain 12 is installed and connected to the connecting plate 132, and the connecting plate 132 is stably exposed above the water surface 20 through the first buoys 131 at both ends, so that the anchor chain 12 can be easily installed and connected to the floating structure or the ship 30.

[0055] The anchor chain 12 includes an anchor chain body 121, a limiting member 123, and an anchor chain sleeve 122. A mounting hole 133 is provided on the connecting plate 132. One end of the anchor chain body 121 is connected to the anchor chain pile 11, and the other end of the anchor chain body 121 passes through the mounting hole 133 and is connected to the limiting member 123 and the anchor chain sleeve 122. The limiting member 123 abuts against the connecting plate 132 to prevent the anchor chain 12 from disengaging from the mounting hole 133. The anchor chain sleeve 122 is connected to the floating structure or vessel 30. The anchor chain sleeve 122 passes through the mounting hole 133, and the limiting member 123 prevents the anchor chain 12 from disengaging from the mounting hole 133. The floating structure or vessel 30 is then directly installed on the anchor chain sleeve 122, thus achieving the installation connection between the anchor chain 12 and the connecting plate 132. The installation connection is very convenient, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0056] The supply unit 2 also includes a second float 24 and a drift-stopping element 25. The second float 24 is connected to the supply pipeline 22, and the drift-stopping element 25 is connected to the supply pipeline 22 and is stationary on the seabed 10. The supply unit 2 uses the second float 24 to make the supply pipeline 22 float upward, and the drift-stopping element 25 restricts the drift of the supply pipeline 22. Only the head of the anchor chain 12 of the mooring unit 1 floats on the water surface 20 through the first float 13, and the rest of the structure of the anchor chain 12 is at the bottom due to its own weight. This effectively avoids entanglement between the supply pipeline 22 and the anchor chain 12, and greatly improves the safety and stability of the mooring supply facility.

[0057] In this embodiment, there are multiple second floats 24, which are spaced apart on the supply pipeline 22. The supply pipeline 22 is suspended in sections by the multiple second floats 24; at the same time, a drift-blocking component 25 is provided on the supply pipeline 22 to limit the drift of the supply pipeline 22; the anchor chain 12 is located at the bottom due to its own weight, which can prevent the two from getting tangled.

[0058] The second float 24 includes a second buoy 241 and a connector 242. The top end of the connector 242 is connected to the second buoy 241, and the connector 242 is connected to the supply line 22. The bottom end of the connector 242 extends downward and connects to the anti-drift member 25, which is stationary on the bottom bed 10. The supply line 22 is connected to the second buoy 241 through the connector 242. The second buoy 241 floats on the water surface 20, thereby enabling the supply line 22 to be pulled up in sections and partially floated in the water. The bottom end of part of the connector 242 continues to extend and connect to the anti-drift member 25 on the bottom bed 10, thereby limiting the drift of the supply line 22 and preventing the supply line 22 from getting tangled with the anchor chain 12. At the same time, the second float 24 has a simple overall structure and is very convenient to use.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the anchor chain piles 11 and the replenishment piles 21 are spaced apart on the seabed 10, and the anchor chain 12 and the replenishment pipeline 22 do not contact or become entangled. There is a forward offset length L1 between the anchor chain piles 11 and the replenishment piles 21, and a lateral offset length L3 between them, ensuring that the anchoring section 1 and the replenishment section 2 are spaced apart, resulting in higher safety and stability. Here, "forward" refers to the direction of the current in rivers, the direction of the prevailing wind in lakes, and the direction of the ocean current in shallow seas. Under completely forward conditions, L1 can be 0, but considering various changes in flow direction, a margin of L1 is required.

[0060] In this embodiment, the underwater positions of the anchorage section 1 and the supply section 2 are staggered according to the mainstream water direction or the local prevailing wind direction, and the staggered distance is related to the width of the floating structure or the vessel 30. The total horizontal projection length of the supply pipeline 22 is equal to the forward staggered length L1 between the anchor chain pile 11 and the supply pile 21, plus the horizontal projection length of the anchor chain 12, plus a reserved length L2. The reserved length L2 is the length from the hull anchoring point connected to the anchor chain cap 122 to the hull supply facility interface, plus necessary redundancy.

[0061] The self-floating resupply facility connector 23 includes a connector body 231 and a handle 232. The connector body 231 is connected to the top of the resupply pipeline 22 and floats on the water surface 20. The handle 232 is located on the water surface 20 and connected to the top of the connector body 231. The connector body 231 floats on the water surface 20 and is connected to the resupply pipeline 22. The handle 232 facilitates lifting and carrying of the self-floating resupply facility connector 23, making it very convenient to use. In this embodiment, there are two handles 232, located at opposite ends of the top of the connector body 231.

[0062] The self-floating supply facility connector 23 also includes several rollers 233, all of which are connected to the side of the connector body 231. The connector body 231 has a cuboid structure, and the rollers 233 allow the self-floating supply facility connector 23 to be pressed against and rolled vertically, making it very convenient to use.

[0063] The above description discloses only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
