Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of jackets, and more particularly to a jacket foundation structure for a large offshore structure. Background Art

[0002] In the field of marine engineering, the jacket foundation structure of large offshore structures such as offshore wind power platforms and offshore oil and gas production platforms, as a key component connecting the superstructure with the seabed foundation, plays a decisive role in the stability and safety of the structure. The connection and assembly of the jacket and the foundation piles are important links in the entire construction process. The reliability of the connection and the efficiency of the installation directly affect the project progress and cost.

[0003] At present, the traditional connection method between the jacket and the foundation pile is mostly welding or bolt connection. Although the welding method can ensure the strength of the connection, the welding operation is carried out in the complex offshore environment, which requires extremely high construction technology, and is greatly affected by factors such as weather and waves. The construction efficiency is low and the welding quality is difficult to guarantee. Although the bolt connection method is relatively flexible, it requires precise reservation of bolt holes on the jacket and the foundation pile. The hole operation is cumbersome during the installation process. In addition, the bolts are prone to rust due to long-term exposure to the marine corrosive environment, making disassembly and maintenance difficult and increasing the subsequent operation and maintenance costs. These traditional connection methods have obvious deficiencies in achieving convenient assembly of the jacket and the foundation pile, and it is difficult to meet the needs of efficient construction and low-cost operation and maintenance of modern marine engineering. Therefore, they need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a threaded sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the circular shaft, and the outer surface of the threaded sleeve is sleeved with the inner thread of the movable block.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a vertical rod is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lifting block, and the outer surfaces of the vertical rod are movably socketed with the inner parts of the insertion block and the foundation pile respectively.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a spring is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the fixed block, and one end of the spring away from the fixed block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the moving block.

The cylinder is used to drive the lifting block, so that the connecting rod drives the rotating block to unfold and embed into the foundation pile. At the same time, the movable block is used to lock the rotating block, thereby realizing the rapid plug-in assembly of the jacket and the foundation pile. Compared with traditional welding and bolt connections, the installation process is greatly simplified, the construction efficiency is significantly improved, the offshore operation time is shortened, and the impact of the harsh marine environment on the construction is reduced.

[0015] 2. This large-scale offshore jacket foundation structure, through the linkage design of lifting blocks, vertical rods, extrusion blocks, motion blocks, and insertion rods, provides a new solution for the stable installation of foundation piles on the seabed. When the lifting block moves downward under the drive of the cylinder, the vertical rod drives the extrusion block to move downward synchronously. By squeezing the four motion blocks, the insertion rod is forced to extend outward along the fixed rod and insert into the seabed soil. This design significantly enhances the anchoring force between the foundation pile and the seabed soil, effectively enhancing the foundation pile's pull-out and anti-overturning capabilities, ensuring that large-scale offshore structures remain stable under complex loads such as wind, waves, and currents. It effectively reduces the safety risks caused by unstable foundations for offshore structures, and at the same time reduces the maintenance and reinforcement costs caused by foundation instability. It is of great significance to ensure the long-term safe operation of marine engineering. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that for directional words, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", etc., the directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a large offshore structure jacket foundation structure, comprising: The plug-in block 1 has a base pile 2 movably sleeved on its outer surface, a slide groove 3 is provided inside the base pile 2, a movable block 10 is movably sleeved inside the slide groove 3, and a circular groove 4 is provided on the outer surface of the base pile 2; a locking mechanism is provided inside the plug-in block 1; the locking mechanism includes a cylinder 5, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the plug-in block 1, a lifting block 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the cylinder 5, a connecting rod 7 is hinged inside the lifting block 6, and the other end of the connecting rod 7 is hinged to a rotating block 8, and a fixed shaft 9 is fixedly sleeved inside the rotating block 8, and the outer surface of the fixed shaft 9 is fixedly sleeved inside the plug-in block 1.

[0019] When the cylinder 5 is running, the lifting block 6 will drive the four connecting rods 7 to move. At this time, the four connecting rods 7 will push the four rotating blocks 8, so that the four rotating blocks 8 rotate around the four fixed shafts 9. At this time, the four rotating blocks 8 will rotate and expand and embed into the interior of the foundation pile 2. Due to the design of the four slide grooves 3, the movement of the four movable blocks 10 will be limited. When the four movable blocks 10 move inward along the inside of the four slide grooves 3, the bottom ends of the four movable blocks 10 will contact the rotating blocks 8 during movement. At this time, the four movable blocks 10 will block the overall movement of the plug block 1 through the four rotating blocks 8, so that the plug block 1 as a whole is locked inside the foundation pile 2.

[0020] A circular shaft 11 is movably sleeved on the inner portion of the outer surface of the foundation pile 2 , and a twisting block 12 is fixedly mounted on the circular shaft 11 .

[0021] When the operator turns the screwing block 12 , the circular shaft 11 is driven to rotate.

[0022] The outer surface of the circular shaft 11 is fixedly sleeved with a threaded sleeve 13 , and the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 13 is sleeved with the inner thread of the movable block 10 .

[0023] When the circular shaft 11 rotates, the threaded sleeve 13 is driven to rotate. Since the outer surface of the threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly engaged with the inner thread of the movable block 10 , when the threaded sleeve 13 rotates, the movable block 10 is driven to move along the inside of the chute 3 .

[0024] Among them, a vertical rod 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lifting block 6, and the outer surface of the vertical rod 14 is movably connected to the inner part of the insertion block 1 and the foundation pile 2 respectively. An extrusion block 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 14, and the outer surface of the extrusion block 15 is movably connected to the inner part of the foundation pile 2.

[0025] When the lifting block 6 moves downward, the squeezing block 15 is driven to move downward via the vertical rod 14 .

[0026] The outer surface of the extrusion block 15 abuts against the movement block 16 , and the outer surface of the movement block 16 is fixedly mounted with an insertion rod 17 .

[0027] When the squeezing block 15 moves downward, it will squeeze and push the four moving blocks 16, and at this time the four moving blocks 16 will drive the four inserting rods 17 to move.

[0028] A fixing block 18 is fixedly installed inside the foundation pile 2 , a fixing rod 19 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixing block 18 , and the outer surface of the fixing rod 19 is movably sleeved with the inner portion of the insertion rod 17 .

[0029] Due to the design of the fixed rod 19, the movement of the insertion rod 17 will be limited. When the extrusion block 15 squeezes and pushes the four moving blocks 16, the four moving blocks 16 will drive the four insertion rods 17 to move outward along the outer surface of the fixed rod 19. At this time, the four insertion rods 17 will be inserted into the seabed soil through the circular groove 4, thereby enhancing the anchoring force of the foundation pile 2.

[0030] A spring 20 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the fixed block 18 , and one end of the spring 20 away from the fixed block 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the moving block 16 .

[0031] When the four moving blocks 16 move outward, the four springs 20 will be stretched. Due to the design of the four springs 20, the movement of the four moving blocks 16 will be well reset.

[0032] A positioning groove 27 is provided inside the foundation pile 2 , and a positioning block 26 is slidably connected inside the positioning groove 27 . The positioning block 26 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insert block 1 .

[0033] Due to the design of the positioning groove 27 and the positioning block 26 , a good positioning effect will be achieved for the connection between the insert block 1 and the foundation pile 2 .

[0034] Among them, the top of the plug block 1 is movably connected to the internal sleeve of the connecting block 21, the top of the connecting block 21 is fixedly installed with a conductor frame 22, the top of the conductor frame 22 is fixedly installed with a working platform 23, a reinforcing rod 25 is provided on the conductor frame 22, and the top of the working platform 23 is fixedly installed with a guardrail 24.

[0035] Due to the design of the guardrail 24, it will provide good protection for the personnel located at the top of the working platform 23, and due to the design of the reinforcing rod 25, it will be possible to enhance the structural strength of the working platform 23.

[0036] The working principle and use process of the present invention: When the jack is lifted and lowered, the jack 2 is lowered to the bottom of the support frame 22. When the jack is lifted and lowered, the support frame 2 is lowered to the bottom of the support frame 22. When the jack is lifted and lowered, the support frame 2 is lowered to the bottom of the support frame 22. When the jack is lifted and lowered, the support frame 2 is lowered to the bottom of the support frame 22. When the cam 11 is in the state of rotation, the cam 12 is in the state of rotation, and the cam 12 is in the state of rotation. When the cam 11 is in the state of rotation, the cam 12 is in the state of rotation, and the cam 12 is in the state of rotation. When the cam 11 is in the state of rotation, the cam 12 is in the state of rotation, and the cam 12 is in the state of rotation. When the cam 11 is in the state of rotation, the cam 12 is in the state of rotation, and the cam 12 is in the state of rotation. When the cam 11 is in the state of rotation, the cam 12 is in the state of rotation, and the cam 12 is in the state of rotation,

[0037] When the vertical rod 14 moves downward, it will drive the extrusion block 15 to move downward. At this time, the outer surface of the extrusion block 15 will squeeze and push the outer surface of the moving block 16, so that the moving block 16 drives the insertion rod 17 to move outward along the outer surface of the fixed rod 19. In this process, the four insertion rods 17 will be inserted into the soil during the outward movement, thereby enhancing the anchoring force between the foundation pile 2 and the seabed soil as a whole, so as to increase the stability and reliability of the foundation pile 2. When the four moving blocks 16 drive the four insertion rods 17 to move outward, the four springs 20 will be stretched. Due to the design of the four springs 20, the movement of the four moving blocks 16 will have a good reset effect.
