Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater steel structure operation equipment technology, specifically to a circumferential device for underwater steel pipe pile operation. Background Technology

[0002] Common cleaning techniques include mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning, and high-pressure water jet cleaning. For example, high-pressure water jet cleaning can quickly and effectively clean dirt and debris from pipes. However, when steel pipe piles are installed underwater and are difficult to disassemble and maintain, cleaning can only be carried out directly underwater.

[0003] Manual underwater cleaning is dangerous and inefficient, failing to quickly remove corrosion and marine life from steel pipe piles. It only cleans the surface of the piles, not providing long-term maintenance. This not only wastes manpower but also results in short cleaning cycles, making it ineffective in maintaining the steel pipe piles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an encircling device for underwater operations of steel pipe piles, in order to solve the problems of high risk and low efficiency of manual underwater cleaning, which cannot quickly remove corrosion and marine organisms from steel pipe piles. Manual underwater cleaning can only clean the surface of the steel pipe piles and cannot achieve long-term maintenance. This not only consumes manpower, but also has a short cycle of repeated cleaning and cannot effectively maintain the steel pipe piles.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to an encircling device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles, comprising a first sealed arc-shaped box and a second sealed box, which are hinged together. Sealing sleeves are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the first and second sealed arc-shaped boxes, respectively.

The corresponding L-shaped closing block has a number of threaded holes, and the corresponding L-shaped closing block is threaded with a number of bolts. The bolts are respectively adapted to the number of threaded holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealed arc-shaped box one and the sealed box two are provided with anti-clogging mechanisms. The anti-clogging mechanisms include arc-shaped filter blocks that are fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the sealed arc-shaped box one and the bottom inner wall of the sealed box two, respectively. Several water inlet pipes are fixedly installed on the sealed arc-shaped box one and the sealed box two, respectively. Two water spray pipes are fixedly installed on the side of the several water inlet pipes that are close to each other. Inclined grooves are opened on the outer walls of the two water spray pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealed box two is equipped with an anti-drowning mechanism, which includes an installation plate fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed box two. A waterproof pump is fixedly installed on the top of the installation plate. A water outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the right side of the waterproof pump.

A water suction pipe is fixedly installed on the left side of the waterproof pump. The bottom end of the water suction pipe passes through the arc-shaped filter block near the sealed box two.

[0013] Furthermore, two stabilizing mechanisms are provided on the sealed arc-shaped box one and the sealed box two.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the mounting frames is provided with a plurality of stabilizing mechanisms.

[0015] Furthermore, a synchronization mechanism is provided on each of the rotating rods, the synchronization mechanism including a synchronization wheel fixedly sleeved on the two rotating rods and the rotating rod respectively, and a synchronization belt is sleeved on the synchronization wheel.

[0016] Furthermore, each of the mounting brackets is provided with two cleaning mechanisms, each cleaning mechanism including a connecting plate fixedly mounted on one of the two mounting brackets, and a semi-circular scraper fixedly mounted on the bottom of the two connecting plates.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) The present invention provides a circumferential device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles. After the device is adjusted, the second sealed box and the first sealed arc box are closed on the corresponding steel pipe pile. At this time, the sealing sleeve will be tightly attached to the steel pipe pile, and the rectangular sealing block will enter the strip sealing block to seal the top of the device, so that water will not enter the device from the top and bottom. The corresponding strip sealing block will also enter the strip sealing groove, which will also close the side opening and reduce the probability of water entering the device. Then tighten the bolts to make the two L-shaped closing blocks fit tightly, which will improve the tightness of the closure of the first sealed arc box and the second sealed box. Then start the drying box, coating machine and waterproof pump inside the device by remote control, and slowly lower the device into the water along the steel pipe pile by mechanical rope.

[0019] (2) The present invention provides an encircling device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles. After the device is lowered into the water, the rollers on the mounting frame will rotate tightly against the steel pipe pile under the elastic force of the telescopic spring. Under the action of the anti-slip sleeve, the friction between the rollers and the steel pipe pile will be increased, so that the rollers will continue to rotate when moving. Through the tight contact of the two sets of rollers, and the action of the synchronous wheel and the synchronous belt, the two sets of rollers will rotate synchronously, avoiding the situation where the anti-slip sleeve cannot rotate simultaneously when it comes into contact with barnacles or moss during the movement. During the descent, the corrosive substances and water organisms on the steel pipe pile will be scraped and cleaned by the semi-circular scraper to reduce the substances on the steel pipe pile. The cleaned substances will fall onto the arc-shaped filter block and the bottom of the device.

[0020] (3) The present invention provides a ring-shaped device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles. During the descent, the synchronous belt and synchronous wheel will drive the rotating rod to rotate, the rotating rod will drive the rotating roller to rotate, the rotating roller will drive the brush to rotate, and the brush will perform secondary cleaning on the steel pipe piles that were not cleaned by the semi-circular scraper, further improving the cleaning effect and making the surface of the steel pipe piles smoother and cleaner. Since several brushes are interwoven, the brushes will contact the outer surface of the pipe pile, making the cleaning more comprehensive. The cleaned steel pipe piles will be covered by the coating layer sprayed by the coating cover. Since the coating cover is distributed in a ring, the spraying is more uniform. Then, during the continuous descent, it will be dried by the high temperature of the drying box, allowing the coating layer to dry and form quickly.

[0021] (4) The present invention provides an encircling device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles. Larger materials that are cleaned off will remain on the arc-shaped filter blocks. After the device enters the water, water will enter the device through several inlet pipes and be sprayed out through the inclined groove on the spray pipe to flush the materials on the arc-shaped filter blocks to the bottom of the device, thus avoiding blockage of the arc-shaped filter blocks. The water entering the bottom of the device will be discharged from the outlet pipe through a waterproof pump. The pumping volume of the waterproof pump is equal to the water inlet volume of the spray pipe, which can prevent excessive water in the device from affecting the normal operation of the device. As the device descends deeper, the water pressure will be greater, and the flushing effect on the arc-shaped filter blocks will be enhanced.

[0022] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-8 As shown, this invention is an encircling device for underwater operation of steel pipe piles, including a sealed arc-shaped box 1 and a sealed box 2 101, which are hinged together. Sealing sleeves 2 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101, respectively. A coating mechanism 01 is provided on the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. The coating mechanism 01 includes a drying box 3 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101, and a coating cover 4 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101, respectively. It also includes:

[0036] A baffle 5 and a fixing plate 501 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed arc-shaped box 1. A coating machine 6 and a coating material box 7 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing plate 501. The coating machine 6 and the coating material box 7 are connected. A discharge pipe 1 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the coating machine 6. A discharge pipe 2 9 is fixedly installed on the right side of the coating machine 6. The discharge pipe 1 8 passes through the baffle 5 and is fixedly connected to the coating cover 4 near the sealed arc-shaped box 1. The top end of the discharge pipe 2 9 is fixedly connected to the coating cover 4 near the sealed box 2 101.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, two sealing components 102 are provided on the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. The sealing component 102 includes two rectangular sealing grooves 10 opened on the sealed box 2 101. Two rectangular sealing blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the sealed box 2 101. The two rectangular sealing blocks 11 are respectively adapted to the two rectangular sealing grooves 10.

[0038] When the sealed box 2 101 and the sealed arc-shaped box 1 1 are closed on the corresponding steel pipe pile, the sealing sleeve 2 will be tightly attached to the steel pipe pile, and the rectangular sealing block 11 will enter the strip sealing block 12 to seal the top of the device, so that water will not enter the device from the top and bottom.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, sealing components 2 03 are provided on sealed arc-shaped box 1 and sealed box 2 101. Sealing components 2 03 include two strip-shaped sealing blocks 12 fixedly installed on sealed box 2 101. Two strip-shaped sealing grooves 13 are opened on sealed arc-shaped box 1. The two strip-shaped sealing blocks 12 are respectively adapted to the two strip-shaped sealing blocks 12.

[0040] When the sealed box 101 and the sealed arc-shaped box 1 are closed and collected, the corresponding strip sealing block 12 will also enter the strip sealing groove 13, which will also close the side opening and reduce the chance of water entering the device.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, a closing mechanism 04 is provided on the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. The closing mechanism 04 includes an L-shaped closing block 14 that is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101 respectively. A number of threaded holes 15 are opened on the corresponding L-shaped closing block 14, and a number of bolts 16 are threaded on the corresponding L-shaped closing block 14. The bolts 16 are respectively adapted to the number of threaded holes 15.

[0042] Tighten bolt 16 to make the two L-shaped closing blocks 14 fit tightly together, thereby improving the tightness of the closure of the sealed arc box 1 and the sealed box 2 101.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, an anti-clogging mechanism 05 is provided inside the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. The anti-clogging mechanism 05 includes arc-shaped filter blocks 17 that are fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the bottom inner wall of the sealed box 2 101, respectively. Several water inlet pipes 18 are fixedly installed on the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101, respectively. Two water spray pipes 19 are fixedly installed on the side of the several water inlet pipes 18 that are close to each other. Inclined grooves are opened on the outer walls of the two water spray pipes 19.

[0044] Larger particles removed will remain on the arc-shaped filter block 17. After the device is submerged in water, water will enter the device through several inlet pipes 18 and be sprayed out through the inclined groove on the spray pipe 19, flushing the particles on the arc-shaped filter block 17 to the bottom of the device, thus preventing the arc-shaped filter block 17 from becoming clogged.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a drowning prevention mechanism 06 is provided on the sealed box 2 101. The drowning prevention mechanism 06 includes a mounting plate 20 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed box 2 101. A waterproof pump 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 20. A water outlet pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the right side of the waterproof pump 21. The right end of the water outlet pipe 22 extends to the outside of the sealed box 2 101. A baffle plate 23 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed box 2 101. A suction pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the left side of the waterproof pump 21. The bottom end of the suction pipe 24 passes through the arc-shaped filter block 17 near the sealed box 2 101.

[0046] Water entering the bottom of the device will be discharged from the outlet pipe 22 through the waterproof pump 21. The pumping capacity of the waterproof pump 21 is the same as the inflow capacity of the spray pipe 19, which can prevent excessive water in the device from affecting its normal operation. As the device descends deeper, the water pressure will be greater, and the rinsing effect on the arc-shaped filter block 17 will be enhanced.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, two stabilizing mechanisms 07 are provided on the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. The stabilizing mechanism 07 includes several telescopic rods 25 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealed box 2 101. The output ends of the several telescopic rods 25 are respectively fixedly installed with mounting brackets 26. The several telescopic rods 25 are respectively fitted with telescopic springs 27. The ends of the several telescopic springs 27 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the sealed box 2 101. The ends of the several telescopic springs 27 that are close to each other are respectively fixedly connected to the several mounting brackets 26. Rotating rods 28 are rotatably installed in the several mounting brackets 26. Rollers 29 are fixedly fitted on the several rotating rods 28. Anti-slip sleeves 30 are fixedly fitted on the outer walls of the several rollers 29.

[0048] After the device is lowered into the water, the roller 29 on the mounting frame 26 will rotate in close contact with the steel pipe pile under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 27. Under the action of the anti-slip sleeve 30, the friction with the steel pipe pile will increase, so that the roller 29 will continue to rotate when moving.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, several mounting brackets 26 are respectively provided with several stabilizing mechanisms 07. Each stabilizing mechanism 07 includes a C-shaped frame 31 that is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of two mounting brackets 26 respectively. A rotating rod 32 is rotatably installed on the two C-shaped frames 31. A rotating roller 33 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 32. A brush 34 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller 33.

[0050] During the descent, the synchronous belt 36 and synchronous pulley 35 drive the rotating rod 32 to rotate, the rotating rod 32 drives the rotating roller 33 to rotate, the rotating roller 33 drives the brush 34 to rotate, and the brush 34 performs secondary cleaning on the steel pipe piles that were not cleaned by the semi-circular scraper 38, further improving the cleaning effect and making the surface of the steel pipe piles smoother and cleaner.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, a number of rotating rods 28 are respectively provided with a synchronization mechanism 09. The synchronization mechanism 09 includes a synchronization wheel 35 that is fixedly sleeved on two rotating rods 28 and a rotating rod 32 respectively, and a synchronization belt 36 is sleeved on the number of synchronization wheels 35.

[0052] With the two sets of rollers 29 in close contact, and with the action of the synchronous pulley 35 and the synchronous belt 36, the two sets of rollers 29 will rotate synchronously, preventing the anti-slip sleeve 30 from contacting barnacles or moss during movement and thus avoiding the situation where they cannot rotate at the same time.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, several mounting brackets 26 are provided with two cleaning mechanisms 100. Each cleaning mechanism 100 includes a connecting plate 37 that is fixedly installed on the two mounting brackets 26 respectively. A semi-circular scraper 38 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two connecting plates 37.

[0054] During the descent, the semi-circular scraper 38 first scrapes and cleans the corrosive substances and aquatic organisms on the steel pipe pile, reducing the amount of material on the steel pipe pile. The cleaned material will fall onto the arc-shaped filter block 17 and the bottom of the device.

[0055] During use, after the device is properly adjusted, close the sealed box 2 101 and the sealed arc-shaped box 1 onto the corresponding steel pipe piles. At this time, the sealing sleeve 2 will be tightly attached to the steel pipe pile, and the rectangular sealing block 11 will enter the strip sealing block 12 to seal the top of the device, preventing water from entering the device from the top and bottom. The corresponding strip sealing block 12 will also enter the strip sealing groove 13, similarly sealing the side openings and reducing the chance of water entering the device. Then tighten the bolts 16 to make the two L-shaped closing blocks 14 fit tightly, improving the tightness of the closure between the sealed arc-shaped box 1 and the sealed box 2 101. Then, start the drying box 3, coating machine 6, and waterproof pump 21 inside the device via remote control, and slowly move the device along the steel pipe pile using mechanical ropes. The pipe pile is lowered into the water. After the device is lowered into the water, the rollers 29 on the mounting frame 26 will rotate tightly against the steel pipe pile under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 27. Under the action of the anti-slip sleeve 30, the friction between the rollers and the steel pipe pile will be increased, so that the rollers 29 will continue to rotate when moving. Through the tight contact of the two sets of rollers 29, and the action of the synchronous wheel 35 and the synchronous belt 36, the two sets of rollers 29 will rotate synchronously, so as to avoid the anti-slip sleeve 30 from contacting barnacles or moss during the movement and thus not being able to rotate at the same time. During the descent, the semi-circular scraper 38 will first scrape and clean the corrosive substances and water organisms on the steel pipe pile, reducing the substances on the steel pipe pile. The cleaned substances will fall onto the arc-shaped filter block 17 and the bottom of the device.

[0056] During the descent, the synchronous belt 36 and synchronous pulley 35 drive the rotating rod 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating roller 33 to rotate. The rotating roller 33 then drives the brush 34 to rotate. The brush 34 performs a secondary cleaning of the steel pipe piles that were not completely removed by the semi-circular scraper 38, further improving the cleaning effect and making the surface of the steel pipe piles smoother and cleaner. Because several brushes 34 are interwoven, they will come into contact with the outer surface of the pipe pile, making the cleaning more thorough. After cleaning, the steel pipe piles will be covered by the coating layer sprayed by the coating cover 4. Because the coating cover 4 is arranged in a ring, the spraying is more uniform. Then, during the continued descent, the piles will be subjected to the drying oven 3. The high-temperature drying allows the coating layer to dry and take shape quickly. Larger materials removed will remain on the arc-shaped filter block 17. After the device enters the water, water will enter the device through several inlet pipes 18 and be sprayed out through the inclined groove on the spray pipe 19, flushing the material on the arc-shaped filter block 17 to the bottom of the device to prevent blockage. The water entering the bottom of the device will be discharged from the outlet pipe 22 through the waterproof pump 21. The pumping volume of the waterproof pump 21 is equal to the inlet volume of the spray pipe 19, which can prevent excessive water in the device from affecting its normal operation. As the device descends deeper, the water pressure will increase, and the rinsing effect on the arc-shaped filter block 17 will be enhanced.
