Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of ship control technology, and in particular to an oil containment device and its operation method that can automatically deploy and retrieve oil booms. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of computer technology, intelligent control products related to ships are increasingly being applied to daily life, improving the quality of the shipbuilding industry. Currently, accidental oil spills occur during offshore drilling, oil and gas production, and transportation. If not handled properly, these spills can spread rapidly, posing a significant threat to the ecological environment and creating new conflicts between economic production and ecological protection. There is an urgent need to prepare emergency auxiliary equipment that can quickly control the spread of oil spills, especially for dynamic and flexible oil spill containment.

[0003] Traditional oil containment systems require multiple workboats and their crews to deploy oil booms, and these workboats must coordinate their unloading during deployment. This operational mode has drawbacks such as slow response time, low deployment efficiency, and low safety. In particular, after manual deployment, it is difficult to adjust the positions of the two ends of the oil boom in real time, thus missing the best opportunity for oil containment / control. When the oil containment work is completed, the oil booms need to be manually retrieved, which involves a large amount of work and has a low degree of automation.

[0004] In addition, oil spills at sea are often accompanied by dangers such as fire and explosion, and workers exposed to the oil and gas environment face significant life risks, especially when traditional operating modes cannot be activated in high sea states.

[0005] Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem that this invention patent aims to solve is that traditional manual deployment of oil booms lacks an automatic deployment device, requiring manual deployment into the water area and then manual retrieval. In particular, it cannot automatically adjust the position of the oil boom, which easily leads to missing the best opportunity for oil containment.

[0007] In the first aspect, the present invention patent adopts the following technical solution: an oil containment device that can be automatically deployed and retrieved, including an oil containment boom, a base, a boom reel, a drag anchor and a guide frame;

The base is detachably fixed to the deck by a twist lock device, wherein the twist lock device can be quickly connected and disassembled, facilitating the quick fixing or unloading of the roll cage during transportation.

[0009] The scroll machine comprises a stator and a rotor; the stator is vertically fixed at the center of the base; the center of the rotor is provided with a rotating hole; the stator is sleeved at the bottom end of the rotating hole to provide a supporting force point and a rotating center column for the rotor;

[0010] The tail end of the oil containment boom is hung outside the rotor; the middle part of the oil containment boom is centered on the stator and starts from the tail end to wrap around the rotor; the head end of the oil containment boom is exposed on the outermost layer; specifically, the outer side of the rotor is provided with a buckle hook, the tail end of the oil containment boom is provided with a buckle head matched with the buckle hook, and the tail end of the oil containment boom is hung on the buckle hook outside the rotor through the buckle head;

[0011] The guide frame is laid on one side of the base; when the oil containment boom is deployed outside the base, the guide frame can support the deployed oil containment boom and guide the oil containment boom to form an outward deployment channel;

[0012] The drag anchor is hung on the head end of the oil containment boom; the clockwise rotation of the rotor can deploy the oil containment boom outside the base; the drag anchor can drag the oil containment boom into the water area outside the base with the help of water resistance; the counterclockwise rotation of the rotor can rewrap the oil containment boom on the rotor.

[0013] Further, the scroll machine further comprises a top lifting seat installed beside the base;

[0014] The top lifting seat comprises a side column and a lifting column; the bottom of the side column is vertically fixed on the side of the base; the head end of the lifting column is horizontally fixed on the top of the side column, and the tail end extends above the center of the base;

[0015] The tail end of the lifting column is provided with a rotating motor; the output shaft of the rotating motor is concentric with the rotor; the output shaft of the rotating motor is engaged in the top end of the rotating hole; wherein the processor of the rotating motor is provided with a communication chip, which can interact with external ships, monitoring centers or remote controllers through wired or wireless communication to monitor instructions;

[0016] Specifically, when the rotating motor acts in the forward direction, its output shaft can drive the rotor to rotate clockwise; at this time, under the cooperation of the drag anchor, the oil containment boom can be released from the rotor into the water area; when the rotating motor acts in the reverse direction, its output shaft can drive the rotor to rotate counterclockwise, so that the oil containment boom can be rewrapped on the rotor; note that if the rotor does not hook the tail end of the oil containment boom in advance, the rotor is idle, so the buckle head needs to be connected to the buckle hook in advance.

[0017] Further, the stator comprises a supporting column and a positioning column; the positioning column can be inserted into the rotating hole; the supporting column can lift the entire rotor;

[0018] The supporting surface of the supporting column is provided with a concave groove for guiding and limiting the rotation of the rotor;

[0019] The lower end surface of the rotor is provided with a ball bearing, the installation position and size of the ball bearing correspond to the concave groove, the ball bearing can roll in the concave groove in a matched manner, thereby reducing the friction force of the rotor on the contact surface of the supporting column;

[0020] The upper end of the positioning column is provided with an embedded bearing, the inner diameter of the embedded bearing is equal to the diameter of the positioning column, and the outer diameter of the embedded bearing is equal to the rotating hole, the rotor is rotatably sleeved on the stator through the embedded bearing, thereby reducing the friction force of the rotor on the contact surface of the positioning column, and the shaking can be reduced.

[0021] Further, the guide frame includes inclined frames and horizontal frames, the inclined frames and the horizontal frames are matched to guide the head end of the oil containment boom to be horizontally expanded; specifically, a horizontal frame is arranged at the edge of the stern of the ship, and then a proper number of inclined frames or horizontal frames are arranged according to the distance between the base and the edge of the stern of the ship, wherein when the distance between the inclined frames and / or the horizontal frames is determined, it should be ensured that the oil containment boom can be guided from the initial placement state to the head end horizontally expanded, so as to facilitate the dragging anchor to pull the oil containment boom into the water without hindrance.

[0022] The part of the guide frame in contact with the oil containment boom is also provided with a rotatable guide wheel; when the oil containment boom is laid out, the oil containment boom can drive the guide wheel to roll, thereby reducing the friction force of the oil containment boom on the contact surface of the guide frame.

[0023] The guide frame is also provided with a clamping rod, which ensures that the oil containment boom only slides from the top surface of the guide frame when it is laid out, preventing the oil containment boom from detaching from the guide frame.

[0024] Further, it also includes a lifting carrier that can hold or release the dragging anchor;

[0025] The lifting carrier includes a positioning beam, a sliding groove, a sliding motor, a lifting hook, a sliding block and a screw rod;

[0026] The positioning beam can be fixed to the inner side of the ship at the parking point of the dragging anchor, with reference to the position of the horizontal frame at the edge of the stern of the ship;

[0027] The positioning beam is symmetrically provided with a sliding groove on the left and right sides, and a sliding block is arranged in each sliding groove, and threaded holes are penetratingly arranged on the left and right sides of the sliding block; wherein the size of the sliding block is matched with the sliding groove, and the sliding block can slide in the sliding groove without obstruction;

[0028] A lifting hook is hung on the front side of each sliding block, and the two lifting hooks can cooperatively hold the dragging anchor;

[0029] A sliding motor is arranged at each end of the positioning beam, and a screw rod is arranged on the output shaft of the sliding motor, and the screw rod can be screwed into the threaded hole of the corresponding side sliding block;

[0030] Specifically, when the sliding motor is positively acting, the screw rotates clockwise, the screw pushes the corresponding sliding block to the middle of the positioning beam, and the sliding block with the lifting hook translates to the middle of the positioning beam; when the sliding motor is reversely acting, the screw rotates counterclockwise, the screw pulls the corresponding sliding block to the end of the positioning beam, and the sliding block with the lifting hook translates to the end of the positioning beam; wherein when the transverse distance between the two lifting hooks on both sides of the positioning beam is less than the length of the towing anchor, the two lifting hooks can cooperatively hold the towing anchor, and when the transverse distance between the two lifting hooks on both sides of the positioning beam is greater than the length of the towing anchor, the towing anchor can be automatically released from the lifting hook into the water area;

[0031] Specifically, after the ship carrying the oil containment boom reaches the designated position, a remote control instruction can be sent to the lifting frame sliding motor to adjust the distance between the two lifting hooks on both sides of the positioning beam, and then the towing anchor is suspended and released into the water area; wherein the processor of the sliding motor is provided with a communication chip, which can interact with external ships, monitoring centers or remote controllers through wired or wireless communication to monitor instructions;

[0032] Wherein, if the rotating motor is not started, when the lifting frame releases the towing anchor, the towing anchor slides into the water under its own gravity, the ship can continue to sail, the more the oil containment boom is laid in the water, the greater the resistance the towing anchor and the oil containment boom suffer in the water, and the greater the pulling force on the oil containment boom that has not been laid in the water, the rotor of the boom winding machine rotates clockwise, and the oil containment boom is gradually completely laid in the water;

[0033] Wherein, when the ship advances according to the specified route and speed, if the rotating motor is started to act positively to loosen the oil containment boom, the process of laying the oil containment boom into the water area can be accelerated; the towing anchor expands the oil containment boom in the water under the action of water resistance.

[0034] Further, the towing anchor comprises a lifting rope at the upper end and a resistance bucket at the lower end; the resistance bucket is hung on the head of the oil containment boom through the lifting rope;

[0035] The water-facing surface and the water-leaving surface of the resistance bucket are respectively provided with through holes, the through hole corresponding to the water-facing surface is named as the water-facing hole, and the through hole corresponding to the water-leaving surface is named as the water-leaving hole;

[0036] When the towing anchor moves on the water surface, water flows into the resistance bucket from the water-facing hole, which can increase the water volume inside the resistance bucket, lower the gravity center of the resistance bucket, and press the resistance bucket downward; when the water inside the resistance bucket flows out from the water-leaving hole, an overflow channel is formed to further press the resistance bucket downward, which can effectively increase the water depth and resistance of the resistance bucket, and prevent the resistance bucket from floating on the water surface and affecting the laying of the oil containment boom.

[0037] Further, the resistance bucket is provided with a water-facing pipe and a water-leaving pipe;

[0038] The opening at one end of the water-facing pipe is a water-facing port, and the opening at the other end is a water outlet;

[0039] The opening at one end of the backwater pipe is a backwater port, and the opening at the other end is an inlet port;

[0040] The water inlet of the water inlet pipe is tightly inserted into the corresponding water inlet hole, and the water outlet is directed towards the inside of the resistance barrel. A water stop valve is provided in the pipeline near the water inlet of the water inlet pipe. Specifically, when the water inlet of the water inlet pipe corresponds to the water stop valve opening, water outside the resistance barrel can flow into the water inlet of the water inlet pipe and into the inside of the resistance barrel from the water outlet of the water inlet pipe.

[0041] The backwater port of the backwater pipe is tightly inserted into the corresponding backwater hole, and the inlet port is directed towards the inside of the resistance barrel. A water stop valve is provided in the pipeline near the backwater port of the backwater pipe. Specifically, when the backwater pipe corresponds to the water stop valve opening, water in the resistance barrel can enter from the inlet port of the backwater pipe and flow to the outside of the resistance barrel from the backwater port of the backwater pipe.

[0042] Further, a drainage system is provided in the resistance barrel to drain water from the resistance barrel, adjust the weight of the resistance barrel, and facilitate the deployment and / or recovery of the oil containment boom;

[0043] The drainage system includes a battery, a water pump, a bracket, and an air inlet valve;

[0044] The battery is sealed and arranged at the upper end of the resistance barrel, and can provide power for the water pump;

[0045] The bracket is longitudinally arranged inside the resistance barrel, the water pump is fixed to the top of the middle of the bracket, the processor of the water pump is provided with a communication chip, and the water pump can interact with external ships, monitoring centers or remote controllers through wireless communication to monitor instructions. The processor of the water pump is connected with the water stop valve and the air inlet valve, and can control the opening and closing state of the water stop valve and the air inlet valve;

[0046] The air inlet valve is arranged on the left side of the resistance barrel near the top, and when the air inlet valve is opened, air outside the resistance barrel can automatically enter the inside of the resistance barrel through the air inlet valve;

[0047] The water pump is provided with a water suction pipe at the bottom, and the bottom of the water suction pipe is close to the bottom of the resistance barrel, so as to guide the water in the resistance barrel into the water pump;

[0048] The water pump is provided with a drainage pipe symmetrically arranged on both sides, and the outlet end of the drainage pipe extends outside on both sides of the resistance barrel, and a water stop valve is arranged near the outlet end of the drainage pipe;

[0049] When the drainage pipe corresponds to the water stop valve opening, the air inlet valve is opened, and the water inlet pipe and the backwater pipe correspond to the water stop valve closing, the water pump is started, the water in the inside of the resistance barrel is gradually pumped to the outside of the resistance barrel, and air enters the resistance barrel through the air inlet valve. The more air in the resistance barrel, the greater the buoyancy, the smaller the volume immersed in the water body, and the smaller the water resistance formed, which is more conducive to the recovery of the oil containment boom to the boom winding machine.

[0050] To make the flow passage in the resistance barrel impact the internal equipment smoothly, further, the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe are made into Z type; wherein the water inlet of the water inlet pipe is tightly inserted into the corresponding water inlet hole, the water outlet is hung on the support, the water inlet pipe is provided with a water leakage hole near the water outlet, specifically, when the water inlet pipe stops the corresponding water valve from opening, the water outside the resistance barrel can enter from the water inlet of the water inlet pipe and flow into the inside of the resistance barrel from the water leakage hole of the water inlet pipe; the water outlet of the water outlet pipe is tightly inserted into the corresponding water outlet hole, the water inlet is hung on the support, the water outlet pipe is provided with a water leakage hole near the water inlet, specifically, when the water outlet pipe stops the corresponding water valve from opening, the water in the resistance barrel can enter from the water leakage hole of the water outlet pipe and flow to the outside of the resistance barrel from the water outlet of the water outlet pipe.

[0051] Further, the outlet end of the drain pipe is provided with a transverse outlet and a longitudinal outlet; wherein the transverse outlet is perpendicular to the side of the resistance barrel, when water is discharged from the transverse outlet, a transverse reverse thrust is generated, which can change the transverse position of the resistance barrel; the opening direction of the longitudinal outlet is parallel to the side of the resistance barrel, which is divided into a rear spray outlet and a front spray outlet, wherein the rear spray outlet faces the rear, and the front spray outlet faces the front, when water is discharged from the rear spray outlet, a forward longitudinal reverse thrust is generated, which can push the resistance barrel forward, when water is discharged from the front spray outlet, a rear longitudinal reverse thrust is generated, which can push the resistance barrel backward;

[0052] Wherein each of the transverse outlet, the rear spray outlet and the front spray outlet is provided with a corresponding water stop valve;

[0053] Specifically, when the water stop valve corresponding to the transverse outlet on the left side of the resistance barrel is opened, and the water stop valve corresponding to the transverse outlet on the right side is closed, then the water pump drainage can generate a transverse thrust from left to right, which can push the resistance barrel to the right side;

[0054] When the water stop valve corresponding to the transverse outlet on the right side of the resistance barrel is opened, and the water stop valve corresponding to the transverse outlet on the left side is closed, then the water pump drainage can generate a transverse thrust from right to left, which can push the resistance barrel to the left side;

[0055] When the water stop valves corresponding to the transverse outlets on the left side and the right side of the resistance barrel are both opened, then the water pump drainage can generate equal transverse thrusts on both sides, which cannot actively adjust the transverse position of the resistance barrel, but is beneficial to speed up the process of internal drainage and emptying of the resistance barrel;

[0056] When the water stop valves corresponding to the rear spray outlets on the left side and the right side of the resistance barrel are both opened, and the water stop valves corresponding to the front spray outlets on the left side and the right side are both closed, then the water pump drainage can generate a forward longitudinal reverse thrust, which can push the resistance barrel forward, which is convenient for the oil boom to be wrapped onto the boom winding machine;

[0057] When the front spray outlets on the left and right sides of the resistance bucket are opened simultaneously, and the rear spray outlets on the left and right sides are closed simultaneously, the water pump drainage can generate a rear longitudinal thrust, which can push the resistance bucket rearward, facilitating the rapid deployment of the oil containment boom in the water area.

[0058] When the rear spray outlets and the front spray outlets of the resistance bucket are opened simultaneously, the forward and rear longitudinal thrusts generated by the water pump drainage are equal, which cannot actively adjust the longitudinal position of the resistance bucket, but is beneficial to accelerating the process of internal drainage and emptying of the resistance bucket.

[0059] In the process of adjusting the position of the resistance bucket, the corresponding water inlet pipe and / or the backwater pipe are opened first, thereby constantly supplying water to the resistance bucket to meet the water demand of the resistance bucket during drainage; the user issues instructions to the water pump in a wireless communication manner according to the actual task demand of the oil containment boom, controls the opening and closing states of the valves, and adjusts the position of the resistance bucket horizontally and / or longitudinally, thereby quickly tracking and intercepting the pollution source in the water area, which is especially suitable for the pollution source changing in the sea surface wind and wave.

[0060] Further, the inertial navigation chip and the satellite positioning chip are arranged in the processor of the water pump, so that the position and state of the resistance bucket can be adjusted autonomously.

[0061] In a second aspect, the application provides an operation method of an oil containment device capable of automatic deployment and recovery, which is applied to the oil containment device capable of automatic deployment and recovery in the first aspect and includes the following steps.

[0062] Step one: before the automatic deployment of the oil containment boom, the rotor wraps the oil containment boom, the head end of the oil containment boom is pulled to the outermost horizontal frame along the inclined frame, and the towing anchor is hung on the head end of the oil containment boom; then the synchronous action of the sliding block motor is driven by remote control or on-site monitoring, the distance between the two sides of the positioning beam is adjusted, the end of the towing anchor is held by the lifting hook, then the rotating motor is driven to act in the positive direction to loosen the oil containment boom, and the towing anchor is completely pressed on the lifting hook.

[0063] Step two: after the oil containment device sails to the designated position with the ship, the rotating motor is driven to act in the reverse direction to pull up the oil containment boom, so that the towing anchor is separated from the lifting hook, then the synchronous action of the sliding block motor is driven, the distance between the two sides of the positioning beam is adjusted, the distance between the two sides of the lifting hook is greater than the length of the towing anchor, then the rotating motor is driven to act in the positive direction, and the towing anchor drags the oil containment boom to fall into the water under the action of its own gravity.

[0064] Step three: the ship continues to sail, through remote control or on-site monitoring, continues to drive the rotating motor positive action, loosens the oil containment boom wrapped on the rotor, and when the anchor is dragged in the water, the water flows into the resistance barrel, and under the action of the overflow channel, a larger water resistance is generated, which can pull the oil containment boom along the guide frame to the water surface.

[0065] Step four: the ship sails on the designated route, and the oil containment device has two working conditions during automatic deployment.

[0066] Working condition one: if the user needs the ship and the drag anchor to be used as the two fixed ends of the oil containment boom, when the tail end of the oil containment boom is released to only 1-2 turns, the rotating motor can be locked through remote control or on-site monitoring, and the rotor can pull the buckle head of the tail end of the oil containment boom through the buckle hook to ensure that it does not come off. The advantages of this operation mode are that when the oil containment boom needs to be recovered, the rotor can rotate counterclockwise to rewrap the oil containment boom along the guide frame to the rotor by driving the rotating motor in reverse, and the ship can carry the base to continuously adjust the deployment position of the entire oil containment boom.

[0067] Working condition two: if the user needs to deploy the entire oil containment boom to the water surface, the ship can sail along the designated route until the tail end of the oil containment boom is detached from the rotor, and the entire oil containment boom is deployed to the water surface. The advantages of this operation mode are that after the ship completes the deployment of the current oil containment boom, it can return to the designated position according to the command and continue to carry / deploy the next oil containment boom with the help of the base and the winding machine.

[0068] Step five: adjust the position of the resistance barrel, the user gives an instruction to the water pump below, opens the corresponding water stop valve of the water inlet pipe and / or the backwater pipe, thereby continuously replenishing the resistance barrel with water to meet the water demand when the resistance barrel drains, the user gives an instruction to the water pump through wireless communication according to the actual task demand of the oil containment boom, controls the opening and closing state of each water stop valve, thereby adjusting the position of the resistance barrel horizontally and / or vertically, quickly tracking and intercepting the water pollution source, especially suitable for pollution sources changing in sea waves.

[0069] Overall, compared with the prior art, the above technical solutions conceived by the present application have the following beneficial effects.

[0070] 1. By setting the base, the oil containment device can be easily disassembled, transported and assembled.

[0071] 2. By setting the ball bearing to reduce the friction between the rotor and the support column contact surface, and by setting the built-in bearing to reduce the friction between the rotor and the positioning column contact surface, the shaking can be reduced.

[0072] 3. By setting the drag anchor, the rotating motor and the guide frame, and by setting the guide wheel and the clamping rod on the guide frame, the oil containment boom can be automatically deployed in an orderly manner relying on water resistance.

[0073] 4. By setting the carrier, the towing anchor can be automatically supported or released. By setting the water-facing hole and the backwater hole on the resistance bucket, not only water can be poured into the resistance bucket, but also a flow channel can be formed to effectively increase the water depth and resistance of the resistance bucket, preventing the resistance bucket from floating on the water surface and affecting the deployment of the oil containment boom.

[0074] 5. By setting the drainage system, the water inside the resistance bucket can be emptied as needed to facilitate the recovery of the oil containment boom. The transverse outlet, longitudinal outlet and water stop valve are set. The user controls the opening and closing state of each water stop valve according to the actual task requirements of the oil containment boom, thereby adjusting the position of the resistance bucket horizontally and / or longitudinally, and quickly tracking and intercepting the water pollution source.

[0110] The part of the guide frame in contact with the oil containment boom 1 is also provided with a rotatable guide wheel 503, the length of which is greater than the transverse width of the oil containment boom 1, so as to completely transversely catch the middle part of the oil containment boom 1; when the oil containment boom 1 is laid out, the oil containment boom 1 can drive the guide wheel 503 to roll, thereby reducing the friction force of the oil containment boom 1 on the contact surface of the guide frame;

[0112] In this embodiment, a lifting carrier 6 is also included, which can hold or release the towing anchor 4;

[0113] The lifting carrier 6 includes a positioning beam 601, a sliding groove 602, a sliding motor 603, a lifting hook 604, a sliding block 605, and a screw rod 606 arranged in pairs;

[0114] The positioning beam 601 can be fixed to the inner side of the ship 10 at the parking point of the towing anchor 4, with reference to the position of the edge flat carrier 502 at the stern of the ship 10;

[0115] The positioning beam 601 is symmetrically provided with the sliding grooves 602 on the left and right sides, and each sliding groove 602 is provided with a sliding block 605, and the left and right sides of the sliding block 605 are provided with threaded holes; wherein the size of the sliding block 605 is matched with the sliding groove 602, and the sliding block 605 can slide in the sliding groove 602 without obstruction and falling off; wherein the length of the positioning beam 601 is 170 cm; in the initial state, the towing anchor 4 is lifted in the middle of the positioning beam 601;

[0116] Each of the sliding blocks 605 is provided with a lifting hook 604 on the front side, and the two lifting hooks 604 can cooperatively hold the towing anchor 4;

[0117] The positioning beam 601 is provided with a sliding motor 603 at each end, and the output shaft of the sliding motor 603 is provided with a screw rod 606, which can be screwed into the threaded hole of the corresponding sliding block 605;

[0118] Specifically, when the sliding motor 603 acts in the forward direction, the screw rod 606 rotates clockwise, the screw rod 606 pushes the corresponding sliding block 605 to the middle of the positioning beam 601, and the sliding block 605 translates with the lifting hook 604 to the middle of the positioning beam 601; when the sliding motor 603 acts in the reverse direction, the screw rod 606 rotates counterclockwise, the screw rod 606 pulls the corresponding sliding block 605 to the end of the positioning beam 601, and the sliding block 605 translates with the lifting hook 604 to the end of the positioning beam 601; wherein when the horizontal distance between the two lifting hooks 604 on the left and right sides of the positioning beam 601 is less than the length of the towing anchor 4, the two lifting hooks 604 can cooperatively hold the towing anchor 4, and when the horizontal distance between the two lifting hooks 604 on the left and right sides of the positioning beam 601 is greater than the length of the towing anchor 4, the towing anchor 4 can be automatically released from the lifting hooks 604 into the water area;

[0119] Specifically, after the ship 10 carrying the oil containment boom 1 reaches the designated position, a remote control instruction can be sent to the sliding motor 603 in the hoisting frame 6 to adjust the distance between the hoisting hooks 604 on both sides of the positioning beam 601, thereby suspending the towing anchor 4, and then releasing it into the water. The processor of the sliding motor 603 is provided with a communication chip, which can be connected to the monitoring system of the ship 10 through a data bus or a network cable. The user controls the working condition of the sliding motor 603 through the monitoring system of the ship 10 in a remote control or on-site monitoring manner.

[0120] If the rotating motor 204 is not started, when the hoisting frame 6 releases the towing anchor 4, the towing anchor 4 slides into the water under the action of its own gravity, along with the oil containment boom 1. The ship 10 can continue to sail, and the more the oil containment boom 1 is deployed in the water, the greater the resistance the towing anchor 4 and the oil containment boom 1 will experience in the water, and the greater the pulling force on the oil containment boom 1 that has not been deployed in the water. The oil containment boom 1 drives the rotor 302 of the boom winding machine 3 to rotate clockwise, gradually deploying the oil containment boom 1 completely into the water.

[0121] When the ship 10 advances according to the specified route and speed, if the rotating motor 204 is started to act in the forward direction to loosen the oil containment boom 1, the process of deploying the oil containment boom 1 into the water can be accelerated. The towing anchor 4 is subjected to water resistance, which expands the oil containment boom 1 in the water.

[0122] In this embodiment, the towing anchor 4 includes a hoisting rope 401 at the upper end and a resistance bucket 402 at the lower end. The resistance bucket 402 is made of a plastic material with a density less than that of water. The resistance bucket 402 is hung on the head end of the oil containment boom 1 through the hoisting rope 401. The length of the hoisting rope 401 is 100 cm. The resistance bucket 402 has a square cross section with a side length of 30 cm and a weight of 3 kg.

[0123] The water-facing surface and the water-leaving surface of the resistance bucket 402 are respectively provided with seven through holes. The through holes on the water-facing surface are named as water-facing holes 403, and the through holes on the water-leaving surface are named as water-leaving holes 404.

[0124] When the towing anchor 4 moves with the ship 10 on the water surface, water flows into the resistance bucket 402 through the water-facing holes 403, which can increase the water volume inside the resistance bucket 402, lower the center of gravity of the resistance bucket 402, and press the resistance bucket 402 downward. When the water inside the resistance bucket 402 flows out through the water-leaving holes 404, an overflow channel is formed, which further presses the resistance bucket 402 downward by 10%. This can effectively increase the water entry depth and resistance of the resistance bucket 402, and prevent the resistance bucket 402 from floating on the water surface, which affects the deployment of the oil containment boom 1.

[0125] In this embodiment, the resistance bucket 402 is provided with a water-facing pipe 405 and a water-leaving pipe 406.

[0126] The opening at one end of the water-facing pipe 405 is a water-facing port, and the opening at the other end is a water outlet.

[0129] The backwater port of the backwater pipe 406 is tightly inserted into the corresponding backwater hole 404, and the inlet port is directed towards the inside of the resistance barrel 402. The backwater pipe 406 is provided with a water stop valve 7 in the pipeline near the backwater port. Specifically, when the backwater pipe 406 corresponds to the water stop valve 7 is opened, the water in the resistance barrel 402 can enter from the inlet of the backwater pipe 406, and flow to the outside of the resistance barrel 402 from the backwater port of the backwater pipe 406.

[0130] In this embodiment, the resistance barrel 402 is provided with a drainage system 8, which can drain the water in the resistance barrel 402, adjust the weight of the resistance barrel 402, and facilitate the deployment and / or recovery of the oil containment boom 1;

[0131] The drainage system 8 includes a battery 801, a water pump 802, a bracket 803, and an air inlet valve 804;

[0132] The battery 801 is sealingly arranged on the upper end surface of the resistance barrel 402, and can provide working power for the water pump 802. Four batteries 801 are provided, each with a thickness of 1 cm and a capacity of 1000 WH;

The processor of the water pump 802 is connected with the water stop valve 7 and the air inlet valve 804, and can control the opening and closing state of the water stop valve 7 and the air inlet valve 804;

[0134] The air inlet valve 804 is arranged on the left side of the resistance barrel 402 near the top. When the air inlet valve 804 is opened, the air outside the resistance barrel 402 can automatically enter the inside of the resistance barrel 402 from the air inlet valve 804;

[0135] The water pump 802 is provided with a water suction pipe 805 at the bottom, and the bottom of the water suction pipe 805 is close to the bottom of the resistance barrel 402 with a gap of 5mm for water absorption. The water suction pipe 805 can guide the water in the resistance barrel 402 into the water pump 802. The cross-sectional area of the resistance barrel 402 should be appropriately adjusted to support the weight of the battery 801 and the water pump 802, so as to ensure that the resistance barrel 402 can be friendly floating on the water surface under the joint action of the head end of the oil containment boom 1.

[0136] The water pump 802 is provided with a water suction pipe 805 at the bottom, and the bottom of the water suction pipe 805 is close to the bottom of the resistance barrel 402 with a gap of 5mm for water absorption. The water suction pipe 805 can guide the water in the resistance barrel 402 into the water pump 802. The cross-sectional area of the resistance barrel 402 should be appropriately adjusted to support the weight of the battery 801 and the water pump 802, so as to ensure that the resistance barrel 402 can be friendly floating on the water surface under the joint action of the head end of the oil containment boom 1.

[0137] When the corresponding water stop valve 7 of the water suction pipe 806 is opened, the air inlet valve 804 is opened, and the corresponding water stop valve 7 of the water inlet pipe 405 and the backwater pipe 406 is closed, the water pump 802 is started, the water in the resistance barrel 402 is gradually pumped out of the resistance barrel 402, and the air enters the resistance barrel 402 from the air inlet valve 804. The more air in the resistance barrel 402, the greater the buoyancy, the smaller the volume immersed in the water body, and the smaller the water resistance formed, which is more conducive to the wrapping of the oil containment boom 1 to the coiling machine 3.

[0138] In order to make the overflow channel in the resistance barrel 402 impact the internal equipment smoothly, further, the water inlet pipe 405 and the backwater pipe 406 are made into Z type. The water inlet of the water inlet pipe 405 is tightly inserted into the corresponding water inlet hole 403, and the water outlet is hung on the support 803. The water inlet pipe 405 is provided with a water leakage hole 407 on the pipeline close to the water outlet. Specifically, when the water inlet pipe 405 is opened, the water outside the resistance barrel 402 can enter from the water inlet of the water inlet pipe 405 and flow into the inside of the resistance barrel 402 from the water leakage hole 407 of the water inlet pipe 405. The backwater pipe 406 is tightly inserted into the corresponding backwater hole 404, and the water inlet is hung on the support 803. The backwater pipe 406 is provided with a water leakage hole 407 on the pipeline close to the water inlet. Specifically, when the corresponding water stop valve 7 of the backwater pipe 406 is opened, the water in the resistance barrel 402 can enter from the water leakage hole 407 of the backwater pipe 406 and flow to the outside of the resistance barrel 402 from the backwater pipe 406.

[0139] The outlet end of the drain pipe 806 is provided with a transverse outlet 807 and a longitudinal outlet in this embodiment; the transverse outlet 807 is perpendicular to the side of the resistance bucket 402, when water is discharged from the transverse outlet 807, a transverse reverse thrust is generated, which can change the lateral position of the resistance bucket 402; the opening direction of the longitudinal outlet is parallel to the side of the resistance bucket 402, which is divided into a rear spray outlet 808 and a front spray outlet 809, wherein the rear spray outlet 808 faces the rear, and the front spray outlet 809 faces the front; when water is discharged from the rear spray outlet 808, a forward longitudinal reverse thrust is generated, which can push the resistance bucket 402 forward, and when water is discharged from the front spray outlet 809, a rear longitudinal reverse thrust is generated, which can push the resistance bucket 402 backward;

[0140] Corresponding water stop valves 7 are arranged in each of the transverse outlet 807, the rear spray outlet 808 and the front spray outlet 809;

[0141] Specifically, when the water stop valve 7 corresponding to the transverse outlet 807 on the left side of the resistance bucket 402 is opened, and the water stop valve 7 corresponding to the transverse outlet 807 on the right side is closed, the water discharge of the water pump 802 can generate a transverse thrust from left to right, which can push the resistance bucket 402 to the right side;

[0142] When the water stop valve 7 corresponding to the transverse outlet 807 on the right side of the resistance bucket 402 is opened, and the water stop valve 7 corresponding to the transverse outlet 807 on the left side is closed, the water discharge of the water pump 802 can generate a transverse thrust from right to left, which can push the resistance bucket 402 to the left side;

[0143] When the water stop valves 7 corresponding to the transverse outlets 807 on the left side and the right side of the resistance bucket 402 are both opened, the water discharge of the water pump 802 can generate equal transverse thrusts on both sides, which cannot actively adjust the lateral position of the resistance bucket 402, but is beneficial to speed up the process of draining and emptying the inside of the resistance bucket 402;

[0144] When the water stop valves 7 corresponding to the rear spray outlets 808 on the left side and the right side of the resistance bucket 402 are both opened, and the water stop valves 7 corresponding to the front spray outlets 809 on the left side and the right side are both closed, the water discharge of the water pump 802 can generate a forward longitudinal reverse thrust, which can push the resistance bucket 402 forward, facilitating the wrapping of the boom 1 onto the coiling machine 3;
