Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of piling construction, and specifically to a piling equipment and method for improving piling efficiency in deep water areas. Background Technology

[0002] Piling construction involves driving precast piles into the ground using piling equipment. Currently, two types of piling equipment are used in deep-water areas: one uses a cross-support walking mechanism to fix the equipment's position; the other uses anchor hooks to fix the equipment's position. In the first method, the walking mechanism requires very high support legs to adapt to deep-water conditions. Each adjustment requires extending and retracting the support legs, and the intervals between each movement are small, resulting in low walking adjustment efficiency and consequently low piling efficiency. Similarly, in the second method, the piling equipment needs to be moved before each piling operation, requiring the anchor to be lowered and raised, which is time-consuming and also reduces piling efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to address these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a piling device that improves the efficiency of piling in deep water areas, which can solve the above-mentioned problems and improve piling efficiency.

[0004] The specific technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows.

[0005] A piling device for improving piling efficiency in deep water areas is characterized by comprising: an A1 pontoon base, an A2 pontoon base, a B pontoon base, an adjustment mechanism, and an anchor cable mechanism. The B pontoon base is located between the A1 and A2 pontoon bases. The B pontoon base is movably mounted on the A1 and A2 pontoon bases via a mounting frame along the X and / or Y directions. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the movement of the B pontoon base relative to the A1 and A2 pontoon bases along the X and / or Y directions. A piling mechanism is provided on the B pontoon base. The anchor cable mechanism is used to fix the positions of the A1 and A2 pontoon bases. The X direction is the spacing direction between the A1 and A2 pontoon bases, and the Y direction is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the X direction.

[0006] A further option is to include an anchor vessel, which is used to perform anchoring and raising operations for the anchor cable mechanism.

[0007] The anchor cable mechanism includes the A1 anchor assembly and the A2 anchor assembly. The A1 pontoon base is connected to the A1 anchor assembly, and the A2 pontoon base is connected to the A2 anchor assembly.

[0008] The A1 anchor assembly includes an A1 anchor cable, one end of which is connected to an A1 retrieval device mounted on the A1 pontoon base, and the other end of which is connected to the A1 anchor. The A2 anchor assembly includes an A2 anchor cable, one end of which is connected to an A2 retrieval device mounted on the A2 pontoon base, and the other end of which is connected to the A2 anchor.

[0009] The A1 take-up device and the A2 retraction device are both composed of the winding mechanism.

[0010] The A1 retrieval device is installed at both ends of the A1 pontoon base in the Y direction, and the A2 retrieval device is installed at both ends of the A2 pontoon base in the Y direction.

[0011] The A1 anchor assembly also includes an A1 connecting rope, one end of which is connected to the other end of the A1 anchor / A1 anchor cable, and the other end of the A1 connecting rope is equipped with an A1 buoy; the A2 anchor assembly also includes an A2 connecting rope, one end of which is connected to the other end of the A2 anchor / A2 anchor cable, and the other end of the A2 connecting rope is equipped with an A2 buoy.

[0012] This invention also provides a piling method for improving piling efficiency in deep water areas, comprising the following operations:

[0013] Step S1: Move the piling equipment to the preset piling position, start the anchor boat to anchor the A1 anchor and A2 anchor at the preset position to fix the position of the A1 pontoon machine base and the A2 pontoon machine base;

[0014] Step S2a: Adjust the B pontoon base relative to the A1 pontoon base and the A2 pontoon base to move along the X and / or Y directions, so that the piling mechanism moves to the preset piling position, clamps the precast pile and performs the piling operation. After the piling is completed, adjust the B pontoon base again to move along the X and / or Y directions, so that the piling mechanism moves to the next preset piling position and performs the piling operation again. Repeat this process until the B pontoon base can no longer be adjusted to move along the X and / or Y directions to the next preset piling position.

[0015] Step S3: Start the anchor vessel to lift anchors A1 and A2, then move the piling equipment to the new preset position, and repeat steps S1 and S2a, and so on.

[0016] In detail, after the anchor vessel anchors A1 and A2 in step S1, the two A1 anchor cables connected to the A1 buoy base are arranged in a crisscross pattern on the outside of the A1 buoy base, and the two A2 anchor cables connected to the A2 buoy base are arranged in a crisscross pattern on the outside of the A2 buoy base.

[0017] After completing step S2a and before executing step S3, execute step S2b first;

[0018] Step S2b: Adjust the A1 anchor cable and A2 anchor cable connected to end a of the A1 pontoon base and the A2 pontoon base to perform a cable retraction operation, and adjust the A1 anchor cable and A2 anchor cable connected to end b of the A1 pontoon base and the A2 pontoon base to perform a cable release operation. End a is the end of the piling equipment used to set the piling mechanism, and end b is the end of the piling equipment away from the piling mechanism, so that the piling equipment moves to a new preset position. Repeat steps S1 and S2a.

[0019] Repeat step S2b until the piling equipment can no longer be moved to the new preset position through the cable retraction and cable release operations (step S2b); if the piling equipment cannot be moved to the new preset position through the cable retraction and cable release operations (step S2b), then proceed to step S3.

[0020] The above-mentioned solution provided by the present invention simultaneously includes an adjustment mechanism and an anchor cable mechanism for adjusting the pile driving position of the pile driving equipment. The pile driving position of the pile driving equipment is adjusted in two stages through the adjustment mechanism and the anchor cable mechanism, thereby solving the problem of the long time required for traditional pile driving position adjustment and thus greatly improving the pile driving efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of the invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a piling device for improving piling efficiency in deep water areas includes an A1 pontoon base 10, an A2 pontoon base 20, a B pontoon base 30, an adjustment mechanism, and an anchor cable mechanism. The B pontoon base 30 is located between the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20. The B pontoon base 30 is movably mounted on the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20 along the X and / or Y directions via a mounting frame. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the B pontoon base 30 to move relative to the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20 along the X and / or Y directions. A piling mechanism 40 is provided on the B pontoon base 30. The anchor cable mechanism is used to fix the position of the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20. The X direction is the spacing direction between the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20, and the Y direction is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the X direction. Specifically, the B pontoon base 30 can be slidably mounted on the mounting frame along the X direction, while the A1 pontoon base 10 and A2 pontoon base 20 can be slidably mounted relative to the mounting frame along the Y direction on both sides of the mounting frame. The movement or relative motion of the A1 pontoon base 10, A2 pontoon base 20, and B pontoon base 30 along the X and / or Y directions can be adjusted by hydraulic cylinders.

[0026] A further embodiment includes an anchor vessel 50, which is used to perform anchoring and raising operations for the anchor cable mechanism. The anchor vessel 50 can be a regular vessel, and a davit can be installed on the vessel to drop or raise the anchor onto the vessel. The anchor cable mechanism includes an A1 anchor 11 assembly and an A2 anchor 21 assembly. The A1 pontoon base 10 is connected to the A1 anchor 11 assembly, and the A2 pontoon base 20 is connected to the A2 anchor 21 assembly. The A1 anchor 11 assembly includes an A1 anchor cable 12, one end of which is connected to an A1 retrieval device 13 installed on the A1 pontoon base 10, and the other end of which is connected to the A1 anchor 11. The A2 anchor 21 assembly includes an A2 anchor cable 22, one end of which is connected to an A2 retrieval device 23 installed on the A2 pontoon base 20, and the other end of which is connected to the A2 anchor 21. The A1 cable retrieval device and the A2 retraction device are also equipped with A1 guide wheels and A2 guide wheels, respectively, for guiding the A1 anchor cable and A2 anchor cable. The A1 guide wheels and A2 guide wheels adapt the tension direction of the A1 anchor cable and A2 anchor cable. Multiple A1 anchors 11 and A2 anchors 21 can be installed to reliably fix the positions of the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20. Preferably, the following implementation scheme is adopted: the A1 cable retrieval device 13 and the A2 retraction device are both composed of retraction mechanisms. The A1 cable retrieval device 13 is installed at both ends of the A1 pontoon base in the Y direction, and the A2 cable retrieval device 23 is installed at both ends of the A2 pontoon base in the Y direction. This distribution method makes the position adjustment of the piling equipment more convenient and faster. The A1 anchorage 11 assembly also includes an A1 connecting rope 15, one end of which is connected to the other end of the A1 anchorage 11 / A1 anchor cable 12, and the other end of the A1 connecting rope 15 is equipped with an A1 buoy 14; the A2 anchorage 21 assembly also includes an A2 connecting rope 25, one end of which is connected to the other end of the A2 anchorage 21 / A2 anchor cable 22, and the other end of the A2 connecting rope 25 is equipped with an A2 buoy 24. The A1 buoy 14 and A2 buoy 24 facilitate the location of the A1 anchor cable 12 and A2 anchor cable 22 for lifting the anchorage during anchoring, thereby quickly lifting the A1 anchorage 11 and A2 anchorage 21 and improving anchoring efficiency.

[0027] The present invention also provides a piling method for improving piling efficiency in deep water areas, comprising the following operations.

[0028] Step S1: Move the piling equipment to the preset piling position, and start the anchor vessel 50 to anchor A1 anchor 11 and A2 anchor 21 at the preset position to fix the positions of A1 pontoon base 10 and A2 pontoon base 20. Further, after anchoring and fixing A1 anchor 11 and A2 anchor 21 in step S1, the two A1 anchor cables 12 connected to the A1 pontoon base are arranged in a crisscross pattern on the outside of the A1 pontoon base, and the two A2 anchor cables 22 connected to the A2 pontoon base are arranged in a crisscross pattern on the outside of the A2 pontoon base. This method can reliably fix the positions of A1 pontoon base 10 and A2 pontoon base 20 using a smaller number of A1 anchors 11 and A2 anchors 21. At the same time, for driving the same number of precast piles 00, it can reduce the number of anchoring and dropping operations, improving piling efficiency.

[0029] Step S2a: Adjust the B pontoon base relative to the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20 to move along the X and / or Y directions, so that the piling mechanism 40 moves to the preset piling position, clamps the precast pile 00 and performs the piling operation. After the piling is completed, adjust the B pontoon base again to move along the X and / or Y directions, so that the piling mechanism 40 moves to the next preset piling position and performs the piling operation again. Repeat this process until (before moving the A1 pontoon base 10 and the A2 pontoon base 20) it is no longer possible to adjust the B pontoon base to move along the X and / or Y directions (conveniently) to the next preset piling position. After completing step S2a and before executing step S3, step S2b is executed first. Step S2b involves: adjusting the A1 anchor cable 12 and A2 anchor cable 22 connected to the a-end of the A1 pontoon base 10 and A2 pontoon base 20 for cable retraction, and adjusting the A1 anchor cable 12 and A2 anchor cable 22 connected to the b-end of the A1 pontoon base 10 and A2 pontoon base 20 for cable release. The a-end is the end of the piling equipment used to set the piling mechanism 40, and the b-end is the end of the piling equipment away from the piling mechanism 40, so that the piling... The equipment is moved to the new preset position, and steps S1 and S2a are repeated; step S2b is then repeated until (without moving anchors A1 11 and A2 21) the piling equipment cannot be conveniently moved to the new preset position through the cable reeling and releasing operations (step S2b); if (without moving anchors A1 11 and A2 21) the piling equipment cannot be conveniently moved to the new preset position through the cable reeling and releasing operations (step S2b), then step S3 is executed. The above operations can significantly improve piling efficiency.

[0030] Step S3: Start the anchor vessel 50 to lift the anchors of anchor 11 (A1) and anchor 21 (A2), then move the piling equipment to the new preset position, and repeat steps S1 and S2a in this cycle.

[0031] The piling equipment provided by this invention differs from traditional piling equipment that uses a separate walking mechanism or anchor cable fixation. By combining both, i.e., simultaneously incorporating an adjustment mechanism and an anchor cable mechanism to adjust the piling position of the piling mechanism 40, the piling position of the piling mechanism 40 is adjusted in two stages. The anchor cable mechanism enables large-distance movement adjustment of the piling mechanism 40, while the adjustment mechanism enables small-distance movement adjustment. This solves the problem of long adjustment times for each piling position adjustment in traditional piling equipment, significantly improving piling efficiency and achieving unexpected technical results in enhancing piling efficiency. Structures and mechanisms not described in detail in this invention can be referenced from existing piling equipment or piling equipment previously developed by the applicant. Furthermore, a cross-traversing mechanism can be added to the piling equipment for shallow water and land piling, expanding its applicability.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, mechanisms, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
