Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects, and in particular to a rapid deployment device for oil booms. Background Art

[0002] The transportation volume of crude oil, refined oil and related chemical products has also increased rapidly. However, there are many potential and uncertain risk factors in the process of oil extraction and transportation. The subsequent accidental discharge of pollutants such as oil spills into the water has caused continuous accidents that cause serious ecological damage. Therefore, once a pollutant leakage accident occurs, early control is necessary. The most important equipment for controlling pollutants in the water is the oil boom. As long as the pollutants are effectively surrounded by the oil boom, they can be collected and recovered from the water surface. Among the commonly used oil booms, there are some types of oil booms, such as traditional solid float oil booms and inflatable oil booms. Although they are more effective in containing oil pollution, they are cumbersome to operate and slow to deploy, which is not conducive to the rapid deployment of emergency operations. They are greatly affected by wind, waves and water currents and have poor environmental adaptability.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN105484216B discloses a rapid oil boom deployment device. A fixed pile is fixedly attached to a riverbank. A splitter is located in the river and connected to the fixed pile via a fixed main rope. A flow-driven tractor is connected to the splitter via a fixed secondary rope. The object being towed is connected to the splitter via a traction rope, so that the flow-driven tractor drives the splitter, thereby completing the deployment of the object. This patent utilizes the automatic movement of the flow-driven tractor, which in turn drives the splitter. This system features low operator labor intensity and high boom deployment efficiency. The deployment system in this patent conveniently, reliably, stably, and efficiently replaces manual deployment of booms in rivers. However, this patent still has some shortcomings: 1. When deploying the flow-driven tractor on both sides of the river, the constant flow direction requires reassembly to ensure proper operation on both banks.

[0024] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a rapid deployment device for an oil boom, comprising an oil boom 1, a tie rope 2 and a tie plate 3, wherein one end of the tie rope 2 is fixed to the river bank, and the other end of the tie rope 2 is connected to the oil boom 1 through the tie plate 3, and the tie plate 3 is further connected with a deployment rudder 4, which is used to tow the oil boom 1 to move, and the deployment rudder 4 comprises a buoyancy box 5, a plate frame 6, a wing 7, a stabilizing arm 8, a stabilizing float 9, an aileron 10 and a control rudder 11, a plurality of wing blades 7 are provided, and the plurality of wing blades 7 are arranged at intervals between two plate frames 6, and the wing blade 7 is a cambered structure. When the deployment rudder 4 is placed in the river channel, when the water flows through the fin 7, the pressure difference on both sides of the fin 7 pushes the fin 7 and the pontoon 5 to move in a direction perpendicular to the water flow. One end of the oil boom 1 is fixed to the river bank by the mooring rope 2 and the rope connecting plate 3. The other end of the oil boom 1, the pontoon 5 and the fin 7 are carried by a ship to the deployment position in the river. Then the deployment rudder 4 is pushed off the ship to let it float freely. At this time, the thrust generated by the fin 7 drives the deployment rudder 4 and the oil boom 1 away from the ship and moves to the designated position, completing the deployment of the oil boom 1.

[0026] The plate frame 6 is fixed to the bottom of the pontoon 5, the front end of the stabilizing arm 8 is connected to the plate frame 6, and the tail end of the stabilizing arm 8 is connected to the stabilizing float 9. The stabilizing float 9 is plugged and fixed to the stabilizing arm 8, and the stabilizing float 9 provides buoyancy for the stabilizing arm 8 to prevent the pontoon 5 and the plate frame 6 from tipping over. The aileron 10 is installed in the middle of the stabilizing arm 8, and the control rudder 11 is installed at the tail end of the stabilizing arm 8. The control rudder 11 includes a control rope 12 and a guide plate 13. One side of the guide plate 13 is rotatably installed on the stabilizing arm 8, and the control rope 12 is connected to the other side of the guide plate 13. One side of the guide plate 13 is arched to form an arc surface, and the arc surface of the guide plate 13 faces the aileron 10.

[0027] It also includes a rebound mechanism 15, which includes a torsion spring 16, a sleeve 17 and a central axis 18. The guide plate 13 is rotatably connected to the stabilizing arm 8 through the central axis 18. The sleeve 17 is fixed at both ends of the central axis 18. The torsion spring 16 is installed in the sleeve 17. One end of the torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 17, and the other end of the torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the stabilizing arm 8. When the control rope 12 pulls the guide plate 13 to rotate around the central axis 18, the torsion spring 16 produces elastic deformation.

[0028] The working principle of the control rudder 11 is: after the deployment rudder 4 is placed in the water, the length of the mooring rope 2 is adjusted or the pulling point of the mooring rope 2 is moved to make the angle of the oil boom 1 relative to the water flow reach the optimal level. The specific method is as follows: by pulling the control rope 12, the deflector 13 is rotated to a certain angle, thereby changing the direction of the water flow, so that the water flow pushes the deflector 13 and the aileron 10 to move, and then the control rudder 11 as a whole changes direction. The movement direction of the deployment rudder 4 can also be adjusted by pulling and releasing the mooring rope 2. When the deflector 13 needs to be rotated in the opposite direction for adjustment, it is automatically reset with the help of the elastic force of the torsion spring 16 of the rebound mechanism 15.

[0029] A cable seat 14 is also installed on the rope connecting plate 3, and the control rope 12 is slidably connected to the cable seat 14. The cable seat 14 includes a connecting plate 19, two mirror-set anti-slip wheels 20, two mirror-set guide wheels 21 and a cover plate 22. The connecting plate 19 and the cover plate 22 are fixed up and down by pins 23. The anti-slip wheel 20 and the guide wheel 21 are rotatably installed between the connecting plate 19 and the cover plate 22. The control rope 12 passes through the two anti-slip wheels 20 and the two guide wheels 21 in turn. The control rope 12 can be slidably connected to any guide wheel 21.

[0030] A slide groove 24 is also provided on the connecting plate 19 and the cover plate 22. Both ends of the central axis 18 of the anti-slip wheel 20 are installed in the slide groove 24. A clamping frame 25 is fixed outside the slide groove 24. Two mirror-symmetrical pressure plates 26 are slidably installed in the clamping frame 25. The pressure plate 26 is connected to the clamping frame 25 by a clamping spring 27. The two pressure plates 26 are respectively in contact with the central axis 18 of the two anti-slip wheels 20.

[0031] When the control rope 12 passes between the two anti-skid wheels 20, the two anti-skid wheels 20 are pushed closer to each other by the compression spring 27 and the pressure plate 26, and the control rope 12 is clamped by the anti-skid wheel 20 to keep the control rope 12 between the anti-skid wheel 20 and the guide plate 13 in a tensioned state. When the control rope 12 is pulled, the force of the control rope 12 can act on the guide plate 13 in time, thereby improving the maneuverability and sensitivity of the guide plate 13, so that the angle of the guide plate 13 can be adjusted in time according to the overall moving direction of the deployment rudder 4, so that the deployment rudder 4 can move in the specified direction.

[0032] Two cable management piles 28 are also fixed on the connecting plate 19. The cable management piles 28 are arranged close to the anti-skid wheel 20. The control rope 12 passes between the two cable management piles 28, that is, the control rope 12 passes through the cable management piles 28, the anti-skid wheel 20 and the guide wheel 21 in turn. The control rope 12 on both sides of the anti-skid wheel 20 is guided by the cable management piles 28 and the guide wheel 21, so that the control rope 12 can remain straight when entering between the two anti-skid wheels 20. The radial tension exerted on the control rope 12 is dispersed by the cable management piles 28 and the guide wheel 21, so as to avoid the control rope 12 pushing the two anti-skid wheels 20 apart when the control rope 12 is manually operated, so that the anti-skid wheel 20 can always be in contact with the control rope 12, further keeping the control rope 12 between the anti-skid wheel 20 and the guide plate 13 in a tensioned state, thereby improving the stability of the control of the control rope 12.

[0033] A rotating shaft seat 29 and a connecting rod 30 are provided at the front end of the stabilizing arm 8. The connecting rod 30 is vertically fixed on the stabilizing arm 8. The two ends of the rotating shaft seat 29 are rotatably installed on the plate frame 6. The connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the rotating shaft seat 29 through the main shaft 31. The end of the plate frame 6 close to the rotating shaft seat 29 extends to both sides to form a stabilizing plate 32. The stabilizing arm 8 and the stabilizing plate 32 are fixedly connected by an insertion rod 33.

[0034] A spring seat 34 is fixed on the connecting rod 30, and a guide rod 35 is fixed between the spring seat 34 and the stabilizing arm 8. A slide 36 is fixed to the bottom of the insertion rod 33, and the slide 36 is slidably installed on the guide rod 35. A limiting spring 37 abuts against the slide 36 and the spring seat 34. The insertion rod 33 is slidably connected to the stabilizing arm 8, and a limiting hole 38 is provided on the stabilizing plate 32, and the insertion rod 33 can be inserted into the limiting hole 38.

[0035] When it is necessary to deploy the oil boom 1 and the deploying rudder 4 on the other side of the river bank, the direction of the water flow relative to the deploying rudder 4 will change. For example, assuming that the river flows from left to right, when the deploying rudder 4 moves from the upper river bank to the lower river bank, the water flow will impact the right side of the deploying rudder 4's forward direction. When the deploying rudder 4 moves from the lower river bank to the upper river bank, the water flow will impact the left side of the deploying rudder 4's forward direction. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the control rudder 11 located on the left side of the deploying rudder 4's forward direction to the right side of the deploying rudder 4's forward direction, so that the control rudder 11 can maintain a suitable angle with the water flow direction, adjust the forward direction of the deploying rudder 4, and then make the deploying rudder 4 reach a force balance state, so that the oil boom 1 can be deployed by the deploying rudder 4 to guide and collect the leaked oil on both sides of the river.

[0036] When the position of the control rudder 11 needs to be adjusted, first press down the slide 36 to make the insertion rod 33 slide downward and disengage from the limit hole 38, then rotate the stabilizing arm 8 180° around the main shaft 31, and then rotate the stabilizing arm 8 120° around the rotating shaft seat 29. After the rotation is completed, release the slide 36, and push the insertion rod 33 into the limit hole 38 of the stabilizing plate 32 on the other side through the limit spring 37 to fix the stabilizing arm 8 and the stabilizing plate 32. Finally, pull out the stabilizing float 9 that has rotated to the bottom, and insert the stabilizing float 9 into the stabilizing arm 8 above to complete the adjustment of the deploying rudder 4, so that the deploying rudder 4 can be used on both sides of the river bank.
