Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of hub navigation, and in particular relates to a ship transfer facility suitable for tunnel navigation. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, navigation tunnels, as a new type of navigation project for low-impact crossings across mountainous areas and addressing the limited space constraints of navigation facilities in canyon regions, have been frequently mentioned and applied in plans for extending the Golden Waterway, connecting trunk and branch waterways, and developing a networked water transport system. However, because navigation tunnels are a special type of restricted waterway, their cross-sectional coefficient falls far below the regulatory requirement of "a cross-sectional coefficient of a restricted waterway should not be less than 6." The narrow navigation channel and closed navigation environment create difficulties for ships navigating through them and for ship maneuvering, thus impacting ship traffic efficiency and the capacity of facilities, and even posing serious risks to navigation safety.
[0003] To eliminate the problems associated with ships propelling themselves through confined spaces, improve navigation efficiency within restricted waterways, and ensure safe navigation, non-self-propelled ship navigation methods, such as towing / pulling, are effective and have been successfully applied in the Panama Line 1 locks. However, besides towing / pulling, are there other efficient and safe methods that can meet the growing demand for navigation tunnels and improve the efficiency and safety of ships passing through navigation tunnels?
[0004] To this end, the present application proposes a ship transfer facility suitable for tunnel navigation. Different from the non-self-propelled navigation mode such as traction / hauling, this facility proposes to use rail transfer vehicles to efficiently and safely transfer ships through tunnels. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a ship transfer facility suitable for use in a navigable tunnel to solve the problems in the prior art. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0006] A ship transfer facility suitable for tunnel navigation is provided. A ship transfer machine is provided in the navigation tunnel to transfer ships from one end of the tunnel to the other end, thereby realizing rapid passage of ships through the tunnel.
[0007] Furthermore, the ship moving machine includes a track, a ship moving machine housing, an electric drive wheel set, a ship fixing cable and a mooring ring;
[0008] The track is arranged in the navigation tunnel, the electric drive wheel group is installed on the track, the ship moving machine housing is arranged on the electric drive wheel group, and the electric drive wheel group is used to move the ship moving machine housing. There is water in the ship moving machine housing, which can carry ships for transportation. The two sides of the ship are connected to the inner wall of the ship moving machine housing through ship fixing cables and mooring rings respectively to avoid collision during transportation.
[0009] The present invention has the following advantages: the ship moving machine uses a rail car to transfer ships, which has stable operation, high speed, and high transport density. The ship moving machine uses a ship moving machine box to transfer ships. The ship moving machine box stores water, and the ship floats on the water in the ship moving machine box during transportation, avoiding ship collisions. The water transfer load is stable and safe. Compared with traditional self-propelled ships or ship towing in tunnels, this facility does not require ship driving, avoiding the safety risks of ship operation in the tunnel and shortening the ship's transit time.

[0014] The following is a combination of the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1-Figure 4 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
[0015] A ship transfer facility suitable for use in a navigable tunnel, wherein a lower ship lift and an upper ship lift are provided at both ends of the inlet and outlet of the navigable tunnel, the upper ship lift is used to lift ships from the tunnel to upstream waters, and the lower ship lift is used to lift ships from downstream waters to the tunnel, and a ship transfer machine is provided in the navigable tunnel for transferring ships from one end of the tunnel to the other, thereby realizing rapid passage of ships through the tunnel.
[0016] Furthermore, the ship moving machine includes a ship moving machine housing, an electric drive wheel set, a track, a ship fixing cable and a mooring ring;
[0017] The track is arranged in the navigation tunnel, the electric drive wheel group is installed on the track, the ship moving machine housing is arranged on the electric drive wheel group, the electric drive wheel group is used to move the ship moving machine housing, the ship moving machine housing has water and can carry the ship for transportation, and the two sides of the ship are connected to the inner wall of the ship moving machine housing through the ship fixing cable and the mooring ring respectively to avoid collision during the transportation process.
[0018] During the specific implementation of the present invention, the ship is lifted vertically to the entrance of the navigable tunnel by the ship lift, ensuring that the ship lift compartment and the ship transfer compartment are flush and aligned. At this time, the folding doors of the ship lift compartment and the ship transfer compartment are simultaneously lowered. After the water level on both sides stabilizes, the ship is driven into the ship transfer compartment. The operator uses the ship's fixed cables to connect the mooring rings on both sides of the ship to the fixed points on the inner wall of the ship transfer compartment to ensure that the ship is stable during transportation and avoid shaking or collision. After the ship is fixed, the ship transfer compartment is closed, the electric drive wheel group of the ship transfer compartment is started, and the ship transfer compartment quickly moves the ship to the tunnel exit along the track in the navigable tunnel through the electric drive wheel group. The ship transfer machine is docked until it is flush and aligned with the upper ship lift. The operator unties the cables, and the ship compartments on both sides are lowered. Once the water level stabilizes, the vessel moves from the ship transfer machine compartment into the ship lift compartment, closes the doors, and the ship lift lifts the vessel vertically to the desired position. The process is reversed when the vessel is lowered.
[0019] In addition, water is stored in the boat moving machine box, and the water depth is set with reference to the water depth of the boat lifting machine's boat holding compartment, so that the ship floats on the water.
[0020] Compared with traditional self-propelled or towed ships in tunnels, the present invention does not require driving the ship, avoids maneuvering the ship in the tunnel and the safety risks it brings, and shortens the ship's passage time.
[0021] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various deformations, modifications, and substitutions made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
