TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of buoyancy blocks, and particularly relates to a buoyancy block conveying system and a use method. BACKGROUND
[0002] A buoyancy block is a structure used to provide buoyancy, usually made of lightweight, low-density materials such as plastic, rubber, foam, etc. The shape, size, and design of the buoyancy block can vary according to specific application requirements. In the ocean, buoyancy blocks are often used to provide or adjust buoyancy, typically by installing the buoyancy block to a tow cable, with the tow cable passing through the middle of the buoyancy block, which can float the tow cable on the ocean surface, facilitating observation of the tow cable state and providing some protection.
[0003] Traditional tow cables with buoyancy blocks usually use manual operation for deployment and recovery. During the movement of the tow cable, the buoyancy blocks are bound / unbound at appropriate times to achieve the installation and removal of the buoyancy blocks from the tow cable. However, when the number of buoyancy blocks is large, such as hundreds, the entire process of deployment and recovery of the buoyancy blocks and the tow cable is very tedious and time-consuming.
[0004] The existing conventional tow cable with buoyancy blocks has a huge amount of deployment and recovery work, especially in terms of time and effort, and the construction efficiency is low. There is no good solution, and ordinary conveying devices can only transfer the position of the object and cannot complete the deployment and recovery work. Current cable deployment projects mostly require rapid and automatic deployment and recovery of cables and buoyancy blocks to meet the equipment's ocean operating conditions. Therefore, ordinary cable buoyancy block conveying devices cannot meet these work requirements. SUMMARY
[0005] The application aims to at least partially solve the technical problems of tedious and time-consuming deployment and recovery processes. To this end, the application provides a buoyancy block conveying system and a use method, which can automatically convey buoyancy blocks and quickly install and remove the buoyancy blocks from the tow cable, simplifying the construction process and eliminating the need for manual installation or removal, achieving automated deployment and recovery, which improves the deployment or recovery speed of the tow cable and saves manpower and time.
[0006] In a first aspect, the application provides a buoyancy block conveying system, the buoyancy block being of a split structure that can be locked and opened, the locked state forming a channel for the tow cable, and the opened state allowing the tow cable to be placed between the split structure, the buoyancy block conveying system comprising:
[0007] A storage module, the storage module comprising a first conveying device for placing and conveying the buoyancy block;
[0008] An outlet positioning module as an entrance and exit for the deployment and recovery of the buoyancy block;
[0009] The lateral transmission module comprises a second conveying device and a clamping component. Two ends of the second conveying device extend to the first conveying device and the outlet positioning module respectively. The second conveying device is used to convey the buoyancy block from the storage module to the outlet positioning module. The clamping component is arranged at the conveying end of the second conveying device. The clamping component has at least two clamping parts that can approach or separate from each other. When the buoyancy block is conveyed to the outlet positioning module, the clamping parts of the clamping component can approach each other and clamp and fix the buoyancy block, so that the buoyancy block is in a locked state.
[0010] The existing installation and disassembly of the buoyancy block and the tow cable are performed manually. In the process of laying and recovering the tow cable, the process is very cumbersome and time-consuming and labor-consuming in the case of a large number of buoyancy blocks. The first conveying device can be used to place, store and convey the buoyancy block, which provides a basis for the installation and disassembly of a large number of buoyancy blocks. The first conveying device can provide storage space before installation and after disassembly. The second conveying device can convey the buoyancy block from the first conveying device to the outlet positioning module, and automatically convey the buoyancy block. The clamping component can combine the split structure of the buoyancy block. The tow cable is arranged between the split structures during combination. The clamping parts of the clamping component clamp the buoyancy block, so that the buoyancy block can be installed on the tow cable. Conversely, the recovery process is opposite. Since the buoyancy block is a structure that has been produced, the outlet positioning module can be used to unlock with the aid of a tool. After unlocking, the lateral transmission module is returned to the storage module for conveying. In this way, the buoyancy block and the tow cable can be quickly installed or disassembled, and then conveyed out of the outlet positioning module, thereby simplifying the construction process. The above process can be completed during laying. The above process can be reversed during recovery, that is, the buoyancy block is conveyed to the storage module from the sea surface along the transmission direction of the outlet positioning module-lateral transmission module-storage module. In this way, the above laying and recovery process no longer needs manual installation and disassembly, and realizes automatic laying and recovery. In this way, the laying or recovery speed of the tow cable is improved, and the manpower and time are saved.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first aspect of the application provides a buoyancy block conveying system. The buoyancy block 200 is a split structure, which is at least two parts, as long as it forms a split form. The split line of the split structure is along the direction of the two ends of the buoyancy block 200. The split structure can be locked and opened, and a lock is arranged inside. The split structure can be opened by manual or auxiliary tool. When locked, the split structure can be fixed by directly applying clamping force to the outside of the split structure, becoming a locked buoyancy block 200. When locked, the buoyancy block 200 forms a channel for placing the tow cable 300. When opened, the tow cable 300 can be placed between the split structure. In use, the tow cable 300 is placed in the position of the split structure forming the channel. This position is the channel space when the buoyancy block 200 is locked. When the buoyancy block 200 is fixed in the locked state, the buoyancy block 200 is installed on the tow cable 300. The tow cable 300 is a cable of a ship body or an offshore platform, and can also be a cable, a rope, etc. In an optional embodiment, the buoyancy block 200 adopts CN202210921636.4 A buoyancy block 200 capable of realizing quick opening and locking function. The buoyancy block 200 includes split structures connected by hinges. The two floating bodies are also connected by an opening and closing device. The opening and closing device includes a connecting mechanism and a locking slot, which is equivalent to the lock of the buoyancy block 200 and can lock the buoyancy block 200. Both ends of the buoyancy block 200 have channel entrances. The auxiliary tool or special lock opening device can be placed from both ends of the buoyancy block 200 to exert force on the lock core, thereby opening the buoyancy block 200. In other embodiments, different structures of the buoyancy block 200 can also be used, as long as the split structure of the buoyancy block 200 and the built-in lock can be opened and locked.
[0052] The buoyancy block 200 conveying system comprises a storage module 110, an outlet positioning module 140 and a transverse conveying module 130, all of which are used for storing the buoyancy block 200 of the tow cable 300 initially, the storage module 110 comprises a first conveying device 111 for placing and conveying the buoyancy block 200, the first conveying device 111 is a belt conveyor, and other conveying devices such as a roller conveyor can also be used, a plurality of buoyancy blocks 200 are placed on the first conveying device 111 in an open state, and the buoyancy blocks 200 can be conveyed to the outlet of the first conveying device 111 when the first conveying device 111 is started; the outlet positioning module 140 is an entrance and exit for the placement and recovery of the buoyancy block 200, and determines the output position of the placement of the buoyancy block 200 and the tow cable 300 and the position of the recovery, and has a path or channel through which the buoyancy block 200 and the tow cable 300 pass, the system can be installed on a ship when in use, and the outlet positioning module 140 is the outlet of the tow cable 300 to the sea.

The second conveying device 131 is used to convey the buoyant block 200 from the storage module 110 to the outlet positioning module 140. One end of the second conveying device 131 can be fixed at the outlet of the first conveying device 111, so that the buoyant block 200 conveyed from the first conveying device 111 can directly enter the second conveying device 131, and the second conveying device 131 continues to convey. Since a part is needed as a storage space for the buoyant block 200, the storage module 110 and the transverse transfer module 130 are divided. In other embodiments, the storage module 110 and the transverse transfer module 130 can be spliced into a whole. The clamping component 133 has at least two clamping parts that can approach or separate, such as two, three or more. The two clamping parts can approach or separate, such as two clamping parts that can move relative to each other in the horizontal direction. The clamping parts are slidable relative to the second conveying device 131, and approach or separate through driving, such as a combination of a motor and a track and a clamping part. One end of the clamping part is arranged in the track, the motor is connected with the two clamping parts and drives the clamping parts to approach each other to clamp the buoyant block 200. When the buoyant block 200 is conveyed to the outlet positioning module 140, the clamping parts of the clamping component 133 can approach each other, generate a pushing force on the buoyant block 200 when approaching each other, and drive the buoyant block 200 to be clamped and fixed. Since the buoyant block 200 has a split structure and can be locked, the clamping component 133 can fix the buoyant block 200, so that the buoyant block 200 is in a locked state. In the locked state, the towline 300 is fixed in the channel of the buoyant block 200.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the buoyancy block 200 conveying system further comprises a processor and a sensor 112, the sensor 112 is installed to the first conveying device 111, specifically a group of sensors 112 are installed at the outlet of the first conveying device 111, including a transmitting sensor 112 and a receiving sensor 112, which detects the position of the buoyancy block 200 on the first conveying device 111, the sensor 112 is a conventional electrical device, the sensor 112 is used to detect whether there is a buoyancy block 200 on the first conveying device 111, the sensor 112 feeds back a detection signal to the processor, and whether the first conveying device 111 operates is controlled by the processor, and the setting is mainly to ensure that there is always a buoyancy block 200 conveyed out; whether there is a buoyancy block 200 on the first conveying device 111 is determined through the sensor 112 sensing signal, the sensor 112 feeds back a sensing signal to the processor, the processor makes a judgment according to whether there is a buoyancy block 200 and executes whether to continue to operate a signal, and the operation of the first conveying device 111 is controlled.
[0058] In an optional embodiment, the first conveying device 111 is arranged in multiple layers and multiple columns, such as 4 layers and 3 columns, and other arrangements can also be used. Each layer and each column of the first conveying device 111 can correspondingly place and convey a plurality of buoyancy blocks 200. Each layer and each column of the first conveying device 111 is correspondingly provided with at least one group of sensors 112, which also include transmitting sensors 112 and receiving sensors 112, as described above. When the first conveying device 111 is provided with multiple first conveying devices 111, i.e., the buoyancy blocks 200 are conveyed by multiple first conveying devices 111 at the same time, each first conveying device 111 is provided with at least one sensor 112. After conveying the buoyancy block 200 each time, a completion signal is triggered. The processor of the storage system receives the completion signal and makes a judgment. If the receiving sensor 112 does not feed back a signal, the processor controls the motor of the first conveying device 111 to start and convey the buoyancy block 200 outward. When the buoyancy block 200 does not block the detection position of the sensor 112, the sensor 112 feeds back a sensing signal to the processor, and the processor outputs an instruction to control the motor of the first conveying device 111 to pause.
