Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of measurement technology, and in particular relates to a side mooring structure for a launching barge tower. Background Technology
[0002] In shipbuilding and repair projects, traditional dock platforms in shipyards adopt a pile structure and are built in the middle of the water. They only consider the types of ships that can be docked and the floating dock types with flat side structures, without reserving space for ships with protruding or uneven side structures. The main tower of the launching barge protrudes from the main structure on the outside and is only used for docking at land-based wharves, which limits its scope of use and makes it difficult to dock at dock platforms. Without safe docking measures, improper operation can easily overturn the dock structure platform surface and cause danger. We urgently need to find a device that can be modified at low cost so that launching barges can dock at the aforementioned dock platforms. Summary of the Invention

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of the present invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0032] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, according to Figure 1-5 As shown, a launching barge tower side berthing structure includes a launching barge body 100; the launching barge body 100 includes a main pontoon 110 in the middle and launching barge towers 120 located at the four corners of the main pontoon 110.
[0034] 200 docking platform, 100 launching barge body, 200 reliable docking platform;
[0035] The berthing component 300 is located on the launching barge tower 120. The berthing component 300 is located on the side of the launching barge tower 120 near the dock platform 200. The berthing component 300 can fill the protruding main structure 121 of the launching barge tower 120, so that the side structure is flat and can be safely berthed on the dock platform 200.
[0036] Due to functional improvements, the launching barge 100 operates by floating and sinking in the waters of dock platform 200, requiring it to berth on dock platform 200. The launching barge tower 120's unique outward-flaring structure, which berths on dock platform 200 via a buoy 400, can be affected by wind, waves, and currents during tidal changes. In such cases, the launching barge may drift into dock platform 200 and potentially overturn its surface, leading to a safety accident.
[0037] Specifically, by setting up the berthing component 300, the bottom of the protruding main structure 121 is filled in, making the side structure flat and safe for berthing on the dock platform 200. This changes the side structure of the launching barge tower 120, meets the safety requirements of the dock platform 200, improves the functionality of the launching barge dock platform 200, and eliminates traditional unsafe operations.
[0038] Understandably, the berthing component 300 can be installed on the side of each launching barge tower 120 near the dock platform 200, which can allow the launching barge to berth at the dock platform 200 from multiple directions.
[0039] In another embodiment of the invention, according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the mooring assembly 300 includes a structural panel 310 and a frame; the structural panel 310 is mounted on the frame, which is mounted on the launch tower 120. The frame is a skeleton type, comprising a mooring horizontal truss 320, mooring reinforcing ribs 330, and mooring ribs 340; the mooring reinforcing ribs 330 and 340 are parallel to each other, the mooring horizontal truss 320 is perpendicular to the mooring reinforcing ribs 330 and 340, and the mooring horizontal truss 320, mooring reinforcing ribs 330, and mooring ribs 340 are interwoven to form the frame. The structural panel 310 uses 12-16mm steel plate, while the mooring horizontal truss 320 and mooring reinforcing ribs 330 use 6-8mm steel plate. Specifically, the skeleton type frame ensures strength while saving weight.
[0040] In another embodiment of the invention, according to Figure 3 As shown, the structural panel 310 is also provided with multiple weight-reducing holes 350, which are used to reduce the weight of the structural panel 310. Specifically, the structural panel 310 has a structure with weight-reducing holes 350, with holes approximately 400mm in diameter on its surface, to reduce structural weight and control the overall weight of the amphibious vehicle 100 as much as possible, ensuring the loading capacity of the amphibious vehicle 100. The structural panel 310 with weight-reducing holes 350 is a non-watertight structure, and the structure as a whole does not provide buoyancy, while ensuring that the added structure does not experience water pressure stress during the sinking and floating process, thus guaranteeing its structural strength.
[0041] In another embodiment of the invention, according to Figure 2 As shown, when the launching barge body 100 berths at the dock platform 200, a berthing handle 400 is also provided between the berthing component 300 and the dock platform 200. With the booming development of the shipbuilding and repair industry, more and more shipyards are capable of building or repairing ships, and their scale is also getting larger and larger. As a result, a large number of ships of various sizes need to enter and leave the dock at the same time. In order to ensure a safe clearance between ships or between the dock and ships, and to prevent ships from squeezing and colliding with each other, it is necessary to provide some elastic marine berthing handles 400 on the dock or on the side plate of the ship to avoid collisions.
[0042] In another embodiment of the invention, according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the horizontal truss 320, the strong rib 330, and the rib 340 all correspond to the original structure on the launching barge tower 120, ensuring effective transfer of structural forces. Specifically, the horizontal truss 320, the strong rib 330, and the rib 340 all correspond to the original structure on the launching barge tower 120, and the structural spacing is the same as the original spacing of the corresponding structures, ensuring effective transfer of structural forces.
[0043] In another embodiment of the invention, according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the top of the berthing assembly 300 abuts against the bottom of the protruding main structure 121, and the thickness of the frame is the same as the thickness of the protruding main structure 121. The length of the berthing assembly 300 is less than the distance from the bottom of the main structure 121 to the bottom of the launching barge body 100. The bottom of the berthing assembly 300 is inclined. Specifically, the berthing assembly 300 is set against the side of the launching barge tower 120, and the berthing assembly 300 fills the gap at the bottom of the protruding main structure 121 as much as possible. This ensures that there is no structural protrusion on the side of the launching barge tower 120, allowing for smooth up and down floating during berthing.
[0044] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of the invention to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, the architectural form of this invention can be flexibly varied without departing from its conceptual framework, leading to the derivation of a series of products. Any simple deductions or substitutions should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
