Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of offshore wind power generation, and in particular to a non-top-pushing berthing method for a semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body. Background Art

[0002] In the field of offshore floating wind power, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the foundation platform of wind turbines, the new floating wind power foundation platform usually adopts a semi-submersible three-cylinder structure. Due to the influence of water depth and the heave plate at the bottom of the floating cylinder, it is not possible to choose a tugboat push berthing method; the limited range of the dock berth and the small main towing force of the port tugboat limit the berthing of the floating body directly by tugboat towing; and the inherent mooring equipment on the upper deck of the platform is usually more than ten meters above the water surface, and the vertical angle with the dock mooring facilities is too large, which cannot be used for dock berthing in the case of strong winds and waves or rapid water flow; therefore, it is very necessary to design a non-push berthing method for submersible three-cylinder floating bodies. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-pushing berthing method for a semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body, and to solve the following technical problems:

[0004] There are various problems when the terminal berth space is limited, the hydrological conditions are complex, the port tugboats are not powerful enough, and the semi-submersible three-cylinder buoy cannot be berthed by tugboat push.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body non-pushing berthing method comprises the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: First, prepare the truck crane and forklift in place, place one truck crane and one forklift at each of the two predetermined column berthing positions, then use the truck crane to lower the berthing ball into the water through the positioning device, and at the same time place the berthing ball on the placement plate on the positioning device, then start the electric telescopic rod to drive the push plate to retract upward in the movable groove, so that the placement plate moves downward under the action of the gravity of the berthing ball and squeezes the second spring, so that the berthing ball falls accurately on the water surface under the protection of the positioning plate, and then fix the rope on the berthing ball on the dock;

[0008] Step 2: Then prepare the cable materials and the floating body before towing into the port. Then, the towing fleet will tow the floating body to the turning waters and adjust the direction. Two tugboats will form an eight-shaped shape with the front of the dock, so that the double columns of the floating body are parallel to the front surface of the dock, and slowly approach the dock by inertia. When the two tugboats with parallel columns have already sideways to the dock, the floating body is still a certain distance away from the dock. First, complete the cable of the tugboat itself;

[0009] Step 3: At this time, the workers take the cage through the truck crane and go to the two pillars of the floating body to install the cable. After the two forklifts are connected, the two tugboat winches tighten the main towline and increase their own horsepower to pull parallel to the left and right. The forklifts on the left and right sides are also started synchronously to drag inward in a direction perpendicular to the sideline of the dock;

[0010] Step 4: Finally, the semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body is precisely positioned close to the berthing ball through the coordinated operation of the forklift and the tugboat. When the berthing ball is subjected to force, the floating system mooring cable is prepared. First, the cross cables are tightened, and the two polymer cables originally connected by the forklift are released. They are tied to the dock piles in the form of cross cables, and the main towline connection of the tugboat is released to complete the final berthing of the floating body. This technology is suitable for various situations where the dock berthing space is limited, the hydrological conditions are complex, the port tugboat has insufficient power, and the semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body cannot be berthed by tugboat. The precise berthing of the floating body is completed through the coordinated cooperation of simple mechanical equipment such as traction tugboats, car cranes and forklifts.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] See also Figure 1 - Fig.11 As shown, the present invention is a semi-submersible three-cylinder floating body non-pushing berthing method, comprising the following steps:

[0040] Step 1: First, prepare the truck crane and forklift in place, and adopt the double-column parallel dock berthing. Place a truck crane and a forklift at each of the two predetermined column berthing positions. Then, the truck crane lowers the berthing ball into the water through the positioning device, and at the same time, the berthing ball is placed on the placement plate 4 on the positioning device. Then, start the electric telescopic rod 82 to drive the push plate 83 to be recovered upward in the movable groove 81, so that the placement plate 4 moves downward under the action of the gravity of the berthing ball and squeezes the second spring 84, so that the berthing ball accurately falls to the water surface under the protection of the positioning plate 3, and then fix the rope on the berthing ball to the dock to prevent the floating body heave plate from colliding with the dock;

[0041] Step 2: Then prepare the cable materials and the preparations before the floating body is towed into the port. Before the floating body is towed, the polymer cable is connected to the towing eye plate of the floating body column in advance. One end is connected to the towing eye plate through a shackle, and the other end can be wrapped around the surrounding sacrificial anode zinc block according to the actual situation. Each floating body column has two towing eye plates, and each towing eye plate is hung with a polymer cable in advance. Before the floating body is towed into the port, the port full-revolving tugboat and the main tugboat are towed in advance at the port anchorage. At this time, there are three tugboats connected to the three cylindrical cabins of the floating body through movable towing rigging, which is more It is more convenient and flexible to tow and control the floating body. Then the towing fleet tows the floating body to the turning waters and adjusts the direction. Two tugboats are in an eight-shaped shape with the front of the dock, so that the double columns of the floating body are parallel to the front of the dock. The floating body is slowly approaching the dock by inertia. When the two tugboats with parallel columns have already leaned against the dock, the floating body is still a certain distance away from the dock. The tugboats are first completed with their own cables. After the two tugboats with parallel columns have completed the cable, the tugboats release their own main towing cables and use the pre-installed car cranes to moor the towing locks of the two tugboats to the dock mooring piles in the form of return cables;

One end of the polymer cable arranged on the floating body for mooring is towed to the shore (the other end has been connected to the towing eye plate through a shackle before towing), and its annular lute head is connected to two forklifts. The other one is towed to the shore and moored on the dock pile in the form of an eight-shaped cable. After the two forklifts are connected, the two tugboat winches tighten the main towline and increase their own horsepower to pull parallel to the left and right. The forklifts on the left and right sides are also started synchronously and dragged inward in a direction perpendicular to the dock sideline. Under the intermittent traction of the tugboat and forklift, the floating body slowly approaches the front of the dock due to inertia. Every time it gets closer, the workers tighten the cross cable pile one more circle;

[0043] Step 4: Finally, the semi-submersible three-cylinder buoy is precisely positioned close to the berthing ball through the coordinated operation of the forklift and tugboat. After the berthing ball is subjected to force, the buoy mooring cable is prepared. First, the cross cables are tightened, and the two polymer cables originally connected by the forklift are released.
