It is widely used in fields such as marine engineering and water conservancy projects. With its unique design and structure, underwater leveling machine can effectively level the soil underwater to achieve the desired flatness.

[0003] At present, underwater leveling machines are generally launched into the water by crane. Since underwater leveling machines are relatively wide in both horizontal and vertical directions and the whole machine is heavy, they need large crawler cranes or ship cranes to lift and launch them into the water, resulting in very high launching costs. Summary of the Invention

[0044] In addition, the expressions "first", "second", "third", etc. that appear in the terms are merely descriptions used to distinguish the same or similar components and should not be understood as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of specific components.

[0045] In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "several," "plurality," and "a number" represent at least two. It can also be any number such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or even more than nine.

[0046] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified, defined, or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," "connected," "provided with," "laid," and "arranged" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. They may be welded, riveted, bolted, threaded, or other commonly used connection methods in the art.

[0047] Example 1 like Figure 1-Figure 22 As shown, a method for launching an underwater leveling machine with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment for horizontal and vertical stepping is provided in this embodiment. The method is based on a lifting platform 100 and includes the following steps: S1. The underwater leveling machine is set on the lifting platform 100; S2. The lifting platform 100 descends, driving the underwater leveling machine to descend until at least part of the underwater leveling machine enters the water; S3. The underwater leveling machine moves out of the lifting platform 100.

[0048] The present application provides a method for launching an underwater leveling machine with multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment for horizontal and vertical stepping. A lifting platform 100 is built near the working area to place the underwater leveling machine, and the lifting platform 100 is used to be raised and lowered so that the underwater leveling machine can be sunk into the water. After that, the underwater leveling machine moves out of the lifting platform 100 to reach the working area. During the entire process, no crane is required to lift the underwater leveling machine, and the cost of the lifting platform 100 is much less than the construction cost of lifting the underwater leveling machine with a large crane, thereby effectively reducing the construction cost of the underwater leveling machine.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting platform 100 includes a platform structure 140 and a plurality of supporting structures 150 . A winch 151 is provided on the top of the supporting structure 150 , and a traction rope 152 led out from the winch 151 is connected to the platform structure 140 .

[0050] An optimal solution is that the underwater leveling machine includes four transverse and vertical stepping walking mechanisms, which are arranged in an array; the transverse and vertical stepping walking mechanisms include an end structure 13, a transverse frame 33, a walking longitudinal beam 22, a first vertical lifting leg 31 and a second vertical lifting leg 32, and the end structure 13 is penetrated by a first hole 131; at least a part of the transverse frame 33 is located in the first hole 131, and the transverse frame 33 slides with the end structure 13 along the radial direction of the first hole 131; the walking longitudinal beam 22 penetrates the transverse frame 33 along the length direction of the first hole 131, and slides with the transverse frame 33; the first vertical lifting leg 31 is connected to the end structure 13; the second vertical lifting leg 32 is connected to the walking longitudinal beam 22; adjacent end structures 13 are connected, and adjacent walking longitudinal beams 22 are connected.

[0051] The transverse and longitudinal walking mechanism includes an end structure 13, a transverse frame 33, a walking longitudinal beam 22, a first vertical lifting leg 31 and a second vertical lifting leg 32, wherein a first hole 131 is opened through the end structure 13; at least a portion of the transverse frame 33 is located in the first hole 131, and the transverse frame 33 slides with the end structure 13 along the radial direction of the first hole 131; the walking longitudinal beam 22 passes through the transverse frame 33 along the length direction of the first hole 131, and the walking longitudinal beam 22 slides with the transverse frame 33; the first vertical lifting leg 31 is connected to the end structure 13; the second vertical lifting leg 32 is connected to the walking longitudinal beam 22.

[0052] During use, by disposing the transverse moving frame 33 between the end structure 13 and the walking stringer 22, the walking stringer 22 and the transverse moving frame 33 slide together along the length direction of the first hole 131 (i.e., the direction in which the first hole 131 is opened), thereby achieving the purpose of the walking stringer 22 and the end structure 13 moving relative to each other along the length direction of the first hole 131, thereby achieving the purpose of the first vertical lifting leg 31 and the second vertical lifting leg 32 moving in a walking manner along the length direction of the first hole 131; Moreover, based on the sliding cooperation with the end structure 13 along the radial direction of the first hole 131, the relative movement of the walking longitudinal beam 22 and the end structure 13 along the radial direction [i.e., the horizontal direction] of the first hole 131 is realized, thereby achieving the purpose of walking-like movement or correction of the first vertical lifting leg 31 and the second vertical lifting leg 32 along the length direction of the first hole 131.

[0053] Therefore, a transverse and vertical walking mechanism of this embodiment utilizes a transverse frame 33 disposed outside the walking longitudinal beam 22, and an end structure 13 disposed outside the transverse frame 33, and utilizes the transverse frame 33 to replace the transition frame of the existing walking leveler, thereby effectively reducing the overall weight of the transverse and vertical walking mechanism.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a second hole 331 is provided through the transverse frame 33, which is adapted to the length and width of the cross-section of the walking longitudinal beam 22, and the opening direction of the second hole 331 is the same as that of the first hole 131; the walking longitudinal beam 22 passes through the second hole 331 and slides with the second hole 331 to achieve relative movement of the walking longitudinal beam 22 and the transverse frame 33 along the opening direction of the first hole 131, and at the same time, the walking longitudinal beam 22 is adapted to the second hole 331, so that in the radial direction of the first hole 131, the second hole 331 has a limiting effect on the walking longitudinal beam 22, and the transverse frame 33 can move together with the walking longitudinal beam 22.

[0055] In a specific preferred embodiment, the portion of the end structure 13 located outside the first hole 131 is the first side wall 132, and the portion of the end structure 13 located inside the first hole 131 is the second side wall 134. The transverse frame 33 is located between the first side wall 132 and the second side wall 134. There is a first gap 114 between the transverse frame 33 and the first side wall 132, and there is a second gap 111 between the transverse frame 33 and the second side wall 134. The transverse frame 33 moves relative to the end structure 13 to move away from or closer to the first side wall 132, so as to achieve the purpose of the transverse frame 33 slidingly cooperating with the end structure 13 along the radial direction of the first hole 131. At the same time, the opposite side walls on both sides of the first hole 131 [one side is the first side wall 132 and the other side is the second side wall 134] also have a limiting effect on the transverse frame 33 after it moves a certain displacement.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting structure is provided between the lateral frame 33 and the end structure 13. This limiting structure restricts relative sliding of the lateral frame 33 with respect to the end structure 13 along the direction of the first hole 131, but does not restrict relative sliding of the lateral frame 33 with respect to the end structure 13 along the radial direction of the first hole 131. However, when the walking beam 22 moves relative to the lateral frame 33 along the length of the first hole 131, relative movement between the lateral frame 33 and the end structure 13 does not occur, or the relative displacement is very small (this displacement is caused by assembly and manufacturing errors). The limiting structure is preferably a keyway-fitting structure, or a sliding-fitting track and slider.

[0057] In a specific preferred embodiment, the first hole 131 is a rectangular hole, and the end structure 13 also includes a bottom side wall 133 and a top side wall 135 that are relatively arranged. The first side wall 132, the bottom side wall 133, the second side wall 134 and the top side wall 135 surround the first hole 131, which is convenient for manufacturing and installation.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the clear height of the first hole 131 matches the height of the transverse frame 33 , so as to increase the stability of the transverse frame 33 and the end structure 13 when they move relative to each other.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the transverse and longitudinal walking mechanism of the present application further includes a transverse telescopic mechanism 4, which is connected between the end structure 13 and the transverse movement frame 33. The transverse telescopic mechanism 4 can drive the transverse movement frame 33 away from or closer to the first side wall 132. The transverse telescopic mechanism 4 is preferably a telescopic oil cylinder or a telescopic air cylinder.

[0060] The transverse telescopic mechanism 4 can drive the transverse moving frame 33 to move back and forth relative to the end structure 13 .

[0061] Preferably, the first transverse support door frame 42 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the end structure 13 to facilitate installation and transportation.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, a first transverse through hole 136 is defined in the first side wall 132, and a first transverse support gantry 42 is disposed outside the first transverse through hole 136. One end of the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 is connected to the root of the first transverse support gantry 42, and the other end passes through the first transverse through hole 136 and is connected to the transverse frame 33. By disposing the first transverse support gantry 42 outside the first transverse through hole 136 as a telescopic support and force-bearing member between the transverse frame 33 and the end structure 13, compared to disposing the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 directly between the transverse frame 33 and the end structure 13, the size of the end structure 13 along the telescopic direction of the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 is effectively reduced, thereby effectively reducing the overall deadweight of the transverse and longitudinal stepping walking mechanism.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, a first transverse support 41 is connected to the transverse moving frame 33 , the first transverse support 41 is located in the first gap 114 , and the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 is connected to the first transverse support 41 .

[0064] Further preferably, the first transverse supporting portal 42 is connected to the outer wall of the end structure 13 .

[0065] Further preferably, the first transverse supporting portal frame 42 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the end structure 13 to facilitate installation and debugging of the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 .

[0066] In a specific preferred embodiment, the first transverse support portal 42 is connected to the outer wall of the end structure 13 by bolts or pins.

[0067] In a specific preferred embodiment, a first transverse support 41 is connected to the transverse moving frame 33 , the first transverse support 41 is located in the first gap 114 , and the transverse telescopic mechanism 4 is connected to the first transverse support 41 .

[0068] The transverse and longitudinal walking mechanism of the present application further includes a longitudinal telescopic mechanism 5 connected between the walking longitudinal beam 22 and the transverse movement frame 33. The longitudinal telescopic mechanism 5 is capable of extending and retracting along the length of the walking longitudinal beam 22. The longitudinal telescopic mechanism 5 drives the walking longitudinal beam 22 to slide along the length of the first hole 131 and engage with the transverse movement frame 33. The longitudinal telescopic mechanism 5 is preferably a telescopic oil cylinder or a telescopic air cylinder.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, a first longitudinal support 51 is connected to the transverse frame 33 , a second longitudinal support 52 is connected to the walking longitudinal beam 22 , the first longitudinal support 51 is located in the first gap 114 , and the longitudinal telescopic mechanism 5 is connected between the first longitudinal support 51 and the second longitudinal support 52 .

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the entire transverse frame 33 is located in the first hole 131 .

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, a first vertical through hole 221 is provided on the walking beam 22, a first vertical support gantry 223 is provided above the first vertical through hole 221, one end of the second vertical lifting leg 32 is connected to the first vertical support gantry 223, and the other end passes through the first vertical through hole 221 and vertically slides with the first vertical through hole 221. The first vertical support gantry 223 is provided above the first vertical through hole 221 to serve as a telescopic support and force-bearing member between the second vertical lifting leg 32 and the walking beam 22. Compared with a direct connection between the second vertical lifting leg 32 and the walking beam 22, the center of gravity of the walking beam 22 can be effectively lowered while reducing the weight of the structure, thereby effectively lowering the center of gravity of the entire structure formed by the end structure 13, the transverse frame 33, and the walking beam 22, thereby improving the stability of the transverse and longitudinal walking mechanism.

[0072] The underwater leveling machine of this embodiment includes four horizontal and vertical stepping walking mechanisms; the four horizontal and vertical stepping walking mechanisms are arranged in an array and set at the four corners of the mouth, with adjacent end structures 13 connected and adjacent walking longitudinal beams 22 connected.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, adjacent end structures 13 are connected by fabric stringers 12 along the direction of the first holes 131. The fabric stringers 12 are provided with first through-holes 121 corresponding to the first holes 131, and one end of the walking stringer 22 extends into the first through-holes 121. While the lateral frame 33 slides radially with the end structure 13 along the first holes 131, the walking stringer 22 is inserted into the fabric stringer 12, forming an inner-outer nested relationship with the walking stringer 22. This effectively reduces the overall horizontal arrangement space formed by the walking stringer 22 and the fabric stringer 12, allowing the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine to have smaller lateral dimensions.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the fabric stringer 12 is a truss structure with open ends. While the fabric stringer 12 meets the designed stiffness and strength, the weight of the fabric stringer 12 is further reduced, contributing to the lightweighting of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine of this application. Furthermore, because the fabric stringer 12 is sleeved outside the walking stringer 22, the fabric stringer 12 has larger lateral and height dimensions than the walking stringer 22, thus enabling the fabric stringer 12 to be constructed as a truss structure.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, along the direction of movement of the lateral frame 33 relative to the end structure 13, the ends of adjacent walking longitudinal beams 22 are connected with walking cross beams 21. Preferably, the walking cross beams 21 and the walking longitudinal beams 22 form a frame structure.

[0076] In a preferred embodiment, a telescopic support structure is provided between the fabric stringer 12 and the walking stringer 22. The telescopic support structure is located in the middle of the fabric stringer 12. When the walking stringer 22 and the fabric stringer 12 move relative to each other, the telescopic support structure disengages from one of the two beams, thereby not interfering with the relative movement between the two beams. When the fabric stringer 12 and the walking stringer 22 are relatively stationary, the telescopic support structure telescopes between the walking stringer 22 and the fabric stringer 12, allowing the fabric stringer 12 and the walking stringer 22 to bear mutual forces in the horizontal and vertical directions, forming an integrated whole. The telescopic support structure cooperates with the horizontal telescopic mechanism 4 and the vertical telescopic mechanism 5 to enhance the stability of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater screed machine. The telescopic support structure is preferably a pneumatic cylinder or a telescopic oil cylinder.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the height of the walking crossbeam 21 matches the height of the walking longitudinal beam 22 ; the height of the fabric crossbeam 11 is higher than the walking crossbeam 21 ; and the height of the fabric longitudinal beam 12 matches the height of the fabric crossbeam 11 . Based on the structural setting in which the walking longitudinal beam 22, the transverse frame 33 and the end structure 13 are arranged in sequence, the height of the end structure 13 is higher than the walking longitudinal beam 22. In this case, the height of the walking cross beam 21 is adapted to the height of the cloth beam 11, so that the walking cross beam 21 and the walking longitudinal beam 22 form a frame-type structure with more uniform transverse and longitudinal forces and stiffness, as well as bearing capacity, which can reduce the lightweight of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine while still having good transverse and longitudinal stability; similarly, the cloth longitudinal beam 12 is adapted to the height of the cloth cross beam 11, so that the cloth longitudinal beam 12 and the cloth cross beam 11 form a frame-type structure with more uniform transverse and longitudinal forces and stiffness, as well as bearing capacity, which can reduce the lightweight of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine while still having good transverse and longitudinal stability.

[0107] During use, by disposing the transverse movement frame 33 between the end structure 13 and the walking stringer 22, the walking stringer 22 and the transverse movement frame 33 slide together along the length of the first hole 131 to achieve relative movement of the walking stringer 22 and the end structure 13 along the length of the first hole 131, thereby achieving the purpose of walking-like movement of the first vertical lifting leg 31 and the second vertical lifting leg 32 along the length of the first hole 131.

[0115] In the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine of this embodiment, a measuring tower 6 is installed on the end structure 13 .

[0116] The following is a weight comparison between the leveling machine of this application and the walking leveling machine in the prior art: when the effective leveling size reaches 18m×10m, the leveling speed reaches 2m / min, and the working water depth reaches 19m, the total weight of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine of this application is 75t-85t, which is much less than the total weight of 185t of the existing walking leveling machine.

[0117] Buoyancy description: Six compressed air drainage compartments 112 are arranged on each of the two cloth beams 11, that is, the entire machine has a total of 12 compressed air drainage compartments 112; the maximum buoyancy generated by the two cloth beams 11 is about 50 tons; sealed compartments are provided in the walking longitudinal beams 22 and the walking transverse beams 21, so that the walking longitudinal beams 22 and the walking transverse beams 21 can be used as buoyancy boxes, each generating a buoyancy of about 20 tons. The total buoyancy generated by the cloth beams 11, the walking longitudinal beams 22 and the walking transverse beams 21 is greater than the total weight of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine, and the total buoyancy generated by the walking longitudinal beams 22 and the walking transverse beams 21 is less than the total weight of the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustable underwater leveling machine.

[0118] In the above situation, the whole machine sinks to the bottom and floats out of the water with assistance: 1. Before lifting and launching, the whole machine is in the following state: the measuring tower 6 is laid down, the walking longitudinal beam 22, the material distribution mechanism 7, the horizontal movement mechanism 8, and the longitudinal movement mechanism 9 are all in the center position, the four lifting points on the two material distribution beams 11 are hung with the main hook of the crane, and the material distribution mechanism 7 is hung with the auxiliary hook of the crane. The whole machine is lifted to the designated position and placed on the water surface, and the slings are relaxed. At this time, the buoyancy of the whole machine is greater than its own weight, and it is in a floating state. At the same time, the exhaust valve of one compressed air drainage tank 112 of each material distribution beam 11 is symmetrically opened, and the draft of the whole machine is observed. When the leveling machine sinks, the exhaust valve is closed, and the crane is operated to slowly loosen the hook until the leveling machine sinks to the bottom. After opening all the exhaust valves to allow the compressed air drainage tank 112 to be filled with water, the operator controls the erection of the measuring tower 6 through the control box to carry out subsequent measurement, positioning, and leveling operations.

[0119] 2. When the whole machine needs to be discharged from the water, the measuring tower 6 is laid down, and the upper material pipe 72 and the lower material pipe 73 of the material distribution mechanism 7 are lifted separately first. Then the hook is hung on the slings of the four lifting points of the leveler. At the same time, the air inlet valve of a compressed air drainage cabin 112 of each material distribution beam 11 is opened symmetrically to compress the air. After one cabin is drained, the current valve is closed. Then, the air inlet valve of the next compressed air drainage cabin 112 of each beam is opened symmetrically at the same time. Repeat the operation. During the drainage process, observe the crane's lifting weight display screen. When the displayed lifting weight drops to the target value range, close the exhaust valve and operate the hook to rise until the whole machine floats to the surface.

During transportation, the measuring tower 6 is set to be horizontal, which effectively reduces the impact of the measuring tower 6 on the center of gravity and eccentricity of the underwater leveling machine during transportation. Then, when launching the measuring tower, the measuring tower is rotated from horizontal to vertical to adapt to construction conditions. By rotating the measuring tower from horizontal to vertical, the safety of the underwater leveling machine transportation can be effectively improved while adapting to construction conditions. At the same time, during the transportation process or the launching process, the slight swing of the measuring tower 6 can be used to fine-tune the center of gravity of the underwater leveling machine with multiple degrees of freedom, making construction safer. The driving mechanism 61 can drive the measuring tower 6 to rotate from horizontal to vertical, and can also drive the measuring tower 6 to rotate from vertical to horizontal.

By arranging the connection point between the first telescopic member and the fabric stringer 12 at the first node 128 and by converging the vertical bar 124, the first diagonal bar 125, and the second diagonal bar 126 at the first node 128, the fabric stringer 12 can be configured as a truss structure while still meeting the tensile load requirements of the first telescopic member.
