[0002] In the marine environment, offshore facilities and platforms will experience significant relative movement due to factors such as wind, waves, and currents. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in offshore areas, where the tidal range is large, the environmental conditions are complex, and the mooring radius of the mooring line is limited. The elastic elongation capacity of traditional mooring lines is difficult to adapt to these harsh conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of composite mooring line, which not only needs to have high strength and large elastic elongation to ensure the safety of facilities under large tidal range and large displacement conditions, but also should be able to continuously withstand external forces and quickly return to the predetermined position, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of offshore structures. Summary of the invention

[0008] Some embodiments disclose a high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device suitable for shallow sea large tidal range, wherein the two first eyelets of the first cable component are respectively connected to the two second eyelets of the second cable component; the initial length of the second cable component is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the initial length of the first cable component, and the breaking strength of the first cable component is greater than or equal to 20% of the breaking strength of the entire high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device.

[0033] In some embodiments, the high elasticity and high strength mooring device suitable for shallow sea with large tidal range is a composite structure formed by a first cable component and a second cable component, wherein:

[0034] The first cable component comprises a first cable body woven from rubber or latex yarns, and two ends of the first cable body are respectively braided to form two first eye rings; the elastic elongation of the first cable component is ≥100%; the first cable component is a braided structure of 8, 12 or 16 strands; the first cable component is a rope with a braided structure of 8, 12 or 16 strands, which is made of thin braided ropes with rubber or latex yarns as parallel cores as strands, and then braided into ropes with 8, 12 or 16 strands, and the two ends of the rope are braided to form first eye rings by braiding and plugging.

[0035] The second cable component includes a second cable body woven from aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polyester or nylon, two ends of the second cable body are respectively braided to form two second eye rings, and the two ends of the rope are formed into second eye rings by braiding and plugging;

[0036] The first cable component and the second cable component are connected and compounded through the first eyelet and the second eyelet; the elastic elongation of the first cable component is greater than the elastic elongation of the second cable component, and the tensile strength of the second cable component is greater than the tensile strength of the first cable component.

[0037] In some embodiments, one of the first eyelets of the first cable component is connected to one of the second eyelets of the second cable component, so that the first cable component and the second cable component form a series structure; the breaking strength of the first cable component is the same as the breaking strength of the entire high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device, and is suitable for mooring systems within 50 tons. The first cable component provides high elastic elongation, and the second cable component provides a certain strength. Within a certain range, according to the water depth and the displacement amplitude of the offshore facility, the length ratio of the first cable component is changed, thereby adjusting the overall elongation of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device.

[0038] In some embodiments, the two first eyelets of the first cable component are respectively connected to the two second eyelets of the second cable component, so that the first cable component and the second cable component form a parallel structure; the initial length of the second cable component is greater than or equal to 1.5 times the initial length of the first cable component, and the breaking strength of the first cable component is greater than or equal to 20% of the breaking strength of the entire high elastic high strength mooring device, which is suitable for mooring systems greater than 50 tons. The first cable component provides high elastic elongation, and the second cable component provides strength after predetermined elongation; as the load increases, the first cable component continues to elongate, and when the length of the first cable component after elongation is equal to the initial length of the second cable component, the second cable component begins to bear force. Since the elastic elongation rate of the second cable component is less than the elastic elongation rate of the first cable component, the second cable component bears the main tensile force at this time.

[0039] In some embodiments, the two first eyelets of the first cable component are respectively connected to the two second eyelets of the second cable component, and the second cable component is spirally wound on the first cable component, so that the first cable component and the second cable component form a spirally wound structure; the breaking strength of the first cable component is greater than or equal to 20% of the breaking strength of the entire high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device, and is suitable for mooring systems greater than 50 tons. The overall elongation of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device is adjusted by changing the size of the spiral winding pitch, and the second cable component provides a predetermined strength after elongation. The smaller the spiral winding pitch, the longer the length of the wound second cable component, the greater the elongation of the first cable component, and the greater the elongation of the mooring device as a whole.

[0040] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first cable component is coated with a wear-resistant sheath; typically, the wear-resistant sheath is an anti-particle barrier wear-resistant sheath.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first cable component and the second cable component are connected in series, in parallel, or in spiral winding.

[0042] In some embodiments, a plurality of first cable components are provided, and a plurality of second cable components are provided, wherein at least one first eyelet of the first cable component is connected to at least one second eyelet of the second cable component.

[0043] In some embodiments, the overall breaking strength of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device is designed first, and then the elastic elongation required under a certain load is designed. The elastic elongation needs to be designed according to the displacement of the floating body. When the first cable component and the second cable component are in a series structure, the breaking strength of the first cable component needs to reach 100% of the breaking strength of the entire mooring device; when the first cable component and the second cable component are in a parallel structure and a spirally wound structure, the breaking strength of the first cable component must at least reach 20% of the breaking strength of the entire mooring device. Before reaching a predetermined elongation, the buoyant mooring force comes from the first cable component. After exceeding the predetermined elongation, the mooring force comes from the second cable component.

[0044] The technical details are further illustrated below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1; Figure 2 This is a force diagram of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the high elasticity and high strength mooring device comprises a first cable component 1, and a second cable component 2 connected to the right eye ring of the first cable component 1, and the first cable component 1 and the second cable component 2 are in series structure.

[0048] The high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1 has a maximum working load of 1 t and an overall length of 40 meters in a natural state. When the maximum working load of 1 t is reached, the elastic elongation is 20 meters.

[0049] The preparation process of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1 is as follows:

[0050] The ultimate working load of the high elastic high strength mooring device is 1 t, and it is designed with a safety factor of 5, so the breaking strength of the first cable component and the second cable component is 5 t;

[0051] The diameter and linear density of the first cable component and the second cable component are designed according to the breaking strength of the first cable component and the second cable component. The usual design method includes: the strength utilization rate of the known cable is 50% to 70%, the type and strength of the fiber are selected, the breaking strength of the cable is calculated according to the utilization rate, the unit is kg / tex, and the corresponding linear density is determined according to the required tension (in kg); the diameter is usually calculated according to the relationship between the linear density and the diameter, the formula is linear density / D 2 =K, D is the rope diameter, K is a constant, when the material is polyester, K is 0.76, when the material is nylon, K = 0.625, when the material is HMPE, K = 0.67, when the material is aramid, K = 0.8, the diameter of the cable is calculated by the formula; according to the formula L A +L B =40, L A × elongation = 20, calculate the length of the first cable component and the second cable component; where L A is the length of the first cable component, L B is the length of the second cable component, and the elongation is the elongation of the first cable component under a load of 1 t; a plurality of composite rubber filaments are fed in parallel, a layer of polyester rope skin is braided outside the rubber filaments to obtain a rubber string, and the rubber string is used as a rope strand to braid into a 12-strand braided structure to obtain a first cable component; the elongation of the first cable component under a load of 1 t is obtained by testing the elongation of the first cable component at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the breaking strength using a tensile machine;

[0052] A second cable component is obtained by taking a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene multifilaments and subjecting them to twisting, stranding, braiding and other processes;

[0053] Production steps:

[0054] Step 1, select high-strength tow polyester fiber, the fiber specification is 1000D, the strength requirement is not less than 7g / D, and pre-weave 6-in-1 polyester yarn into a designated yarn tube for standby use;

[0055] Step 2, feeding the latex yarn into the braiding machine evenly through the wire divider, running the braiding machine, and making elastic sub-rope as rope strands for standby use, with a line density of 285g / m;

[0056] The elastic sub-rope is pre-woven onto the spindle as a rope strand, and then the spindle is installed on the braiding machine, the braiding machine is operated, and the rope pitch size is adjusted to ensure that the pitch multiple is 8 times the diameter to obtain the first cable component. The elongation of the first cable component at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of the breaking strength is tested by a tensile machine to obtain the elongation under a load of 1 t.

[0057] Select 1600D ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene multifilament with a strength requirement of not less than 32g / D. Take 16 pairs of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene multifilaments and twist them through an imported twisting machine to obtain rope strands with a twist of 25 twists / m. Pre-weave the rope strands onto spindles, and then install the spindles onto a braiding machine. Run the braiding machine, adjust the rope pitch to ensure that the pitch multiple is 8 times the diameter, and obtain the second cable component with a line density of 40g / m.

[0058] The high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1 is obtained by connecting the first cable component and the second cable component in series. Figure 2 The figure is a force diagram of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 1. The series structure is provided with high elasticity elongation by the first cable component, and a certain strength by the second cable component. As the working load increases, the bearing force of the first cable component and the second cable component is the same due to the series structure, but the displacement of the first cable component and the second cable component is different. The first cable component provides the main elongation, such as Figure 2 As shown at point A, the first cable component is a highly elastic rope body, so its displacement increases rapidly as the load increases, and the second cable component is a strong component, so its displacement increases slowly as the load increases.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 2; Figure 4 This is a force diagram of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 2.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the high elasticity and high strength mooring device comprises a first cable component 1, and a second cable component 2 whose eyelets at both ends are respectively connected to the eyelets at both ends of the first cable component 1, and the first cable component 1 and the second cable component 2 are in a parallel structure.

[0062] The ultimate working load of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 2 is 12 tons, and the overall length in the natural state is 20 meters, that is, the length of the first cable component is 20 meters.

[0063] The preparation process of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 2 is as follows:

[0064] The ultimate working load of the high elastic high strength mooring device is 12t. It is designed with a safety factor of 5. The breaking strength of the first cable component is at least 12t, and the breaking strength of the second cable component is 60t.

[0065] The diameter and linear density of the first cable component and the second cable component are designed according to the breaking strength of the first cable component and the second cable component; according to the formula 1.5×L A <L B <L A ×(1+elongation), and then calculate the length of the second cable component according to the maximum displacement of the floating body and the mechanical properties of the floating body; where L A is the length of the first cable component, L B is the length of the second cable component, and the elongation is the elongation of the first cable component at 20% of the breaking strength;

[0067] A second cable component is obtained by taking a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene multifilaments and subjecting them to twisting, stranding, braiding and other processes;

[0068] By connecting the first cable component and the second cable component in parallel, the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 2 is obtained.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the parallel structure is provided with high elastic extension by the first cable component, and the second cable component provides strength after predetermined extension. Under the working load, the first cable component continues to extend, and its length reaches the initial length of the second cable component, and then the second cable component suddenly begins to bear force, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in point A; then the displacement continues to increase. Due to the parallel structure, the deformation displacement of the first cable component and the second cable component is the same, but the loads borne by the first cable component and the second cable component are different. The second cable component bears the main load. Figure 4 As shown at point B, the first cable component is a highly elastic rope body, so its force value increases slowly with the increase of displacement, and the second cable component is a strong component, so its force value increases rapidly with the increase of displacement.

[0070] Example 3

[0071] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 3; Figure 6 This is a force diagram of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 3.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the high elasticity and high strength mooring device includes a first cable component 1, a second cable component 2 which is spirally wound on the first cable component 1 and has eyelets at both ends respectively connected to the eyelets at both ends of the first cable component 1, and the first cable component 1 and the second cable component 2 are a spirally wound structure.

[0073] The ultimate working load of the high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device disclosed in Example 3 is 12 tons, and the overall length in the natural state is 20 meters, that is, the length of the first cable component is 20 meters.

[0074] The preparation process of the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 3 is as follows:

[0075] The ultimate working load of the high elastic high strength mooring device is 12t. It is designed with a safety factor of 5. The breaking strength of the first cable component is at least 12t, and the breaking strength of the second cable component is 60t.

[0076] The diameter and linear density of the first cable component and the second cable component are designed according to the breaking strength of the first cable component and the second cable component; according to the formula 1.5×L A <L B <L A ×(1+elongation), and then calculate the length of the second cable component according to the maximum displacement of the floating body and the mechanical properties of the floating body; where L A is the length of the first cable component, L B is the length of the second cable component, and the elongation is the elongation of the first cable component at 20% of the breaking strength;

[0077] Feeding a plurality of composite rubber threads in parallel, weaving a layer of polyester rope skin on the outside of the rubber threads to obtain a rubber string, and weaving the rubber string as a rope strand into a 12-strand braided structure to obtain a first cable component; testing the elongation of the first cable component at 20% of the breaking strength by a tensile testing machine;

[0078] A second cable component is obtained by taking a plurality of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene multifilaments and subjecting them to twisting, stranding, braiding and other processes;

[0079] The first cable component and the second cable component are spirally wound and connected to obtain the high elasticity and high strength mooring device disclosed in Example 3.

[0080] like Figure 6As shown in FIG. 1 , the spirally wound structure is provided with high elastic elongation by the first cable component, and the second cable component provides strength after predetermined elongation. Under the working load, the first cable component continues to elongate, and its length reaches the initial length of the second cable component, and then the second cable component suddenly begins to bear force, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in point A; then the displacement continues to increase. Due to the parallel structure, the deformation displacement of the first cable component and the second cable component is the same, but the loads borne by the first cable component and the second cable component are different. The second cable component bears the main load. Figure 6 As shown at point B, the first cable component is a highly elastic rope body, so its force value increases slowly with the increase of displacement, and the second cable component is a strong component, so its force value increases rapidly with the increase of displacement.

[0081] Example 4

[0082] Figure 7 This is a force-displacement curve diagram of the mechanical properties test of the first cable component disclosed in Example 4.

[0083] Embodiment 4 discloses a method for manufacturing a first cable component having a diameter of 20 mm and a 12-strand braided structure, which specifically includes:

[0084] Step 1: Select high-strength polyester fiber with a fiber specification of 1000D to 2000D and a strength requirement of no less than 7g / D. First, apply tension evenly through a multi-roll tension machine and pre-weave the polyester yarn onto a designated yarn tube for standby use. Step 2: Feed the latex yarn evenly into the braiding machine through a wire divider, run the braiding machine, and make a 3mm diameter elastic cord with a breaking strength of 748N.

[0085] The elastic sub-rope is pre-woven onto the spindle as a rope strand, the spindle is mounted onto the braiding machine, the braiding machine is operated, the pitch size is adjusted to ensure that the pitch multiple is 8 times the diameter, and a first cable component with a diameter of 20 mm is obtained.

[0086] The mechanical properties of the first cable component are tested:

[0087] Cut a certain length of the first cable component and weave eyelets at both ends thereof;

[0088] The eyelets at both ends of the first cable component are fixed on the tensile testing machine through pins, a pre-tension is applied to measure the pin spacing of the first cable component under the pre-tension, and then a load is applied at a rate of 200 mm / min until it breaks; the test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0089] like Figure 7As shown, the data corresponding to the force-displacement curve are derived to obtain the force value and displacement value, and the elongation at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% breaking strength is calculated to be 88%, 105%, 118%, 132%, and 140%, respectively.

[0105] The high-elasticity and high-strength mooring device suitable for shallow sea with large tidal range disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention comprises a first cable component and a second cable component which are combined to form a composite structure. The first cable component provides high elastic elongation, and the second cable component provides strength. This solves the defect that only relying on the elasticity provided by the rubber body cannot provide large-tonnage mooring force for large offshore facilities. It also solves the problem that in large tidal range and large displacement scenarios, the mooring cable that only relies on the mooring cable is either severely loose or excessively stressed to damage the buoy. It also solves the problem that traditional rubber elastic ropes cannot be woven into eyes.
