DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The technical solutions of the invention are further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to the description.
[0018] Referring to the drawings attached Figures 1 to 9 in the description.
[0019] A large docking pontoon manufacturing and assembling process method of the present application comprises two steps of prefabrication of steel box units and assembling of the docking pontoon.
[0020] The prefabrication steps of the steel box unit are as follows.
[0021] One steel box unit corresponds to two top plates 1, one bottom plate 2, two middle web plates 3, two outer web plates 4, and three full-web bulkheads 5.
[0022] Two top plates 1 are first laid and welded in the under state, which can be understood as rotating the middle top plate 1 from the on state to the under state of the top plate 1. Figure 4 Figure 5 The T-shaped longitudinal rib 6 and the angle steel 11 are welded and fixed to the top plate 1.
[0023] The middle full-web bulkhead 5 is welded and fixed to the middle of the top plate 1, and the angle steel 11 and the longitudinal middle web plate 3 are welded and fixed on both sides of the middle full-web bulkhead 5. The stand 7 and the round pipe 8 are welded and fixed on the middle full-web bulkhead 5.
[0024] The full-web bulkheads 5 on both sides of the top plate 1 are welded and fixed, and the angle steel 11 and the round pipe 8 are welded and fixed on both sides of the full-web bulkheads 5. The outer web plate 4 is welded and fixed on both sides of the top plate 1, and the outer web plate 4 is welded and fixed with the full-web bulkheads 5 on both sides. The angle steel 11 and the T-shaped longitudinal rib 6 on the top of the three full-web bulkheads 5 are welded and fixed. At this time, the top plate 1, the middle web plate 3, the outer web plate 4, and the full-web bulkhead 5 are fully welded from the top.
[0025] The bottom plate 2 is placed on the top of the three full-web bulkheads 5 to temporarily fix and connect by spot welding, forming a steel box unit with a three-box hole cross section. The steel box unit is turned over, and the top plate 1 is rotated from the under state to the middle on state. Figure 5 Figure 4 The bottom plate 2 is fully welded with the three full-web bulkheads 5, the angle steel 11, and the T-shaped longitudinal rib 6.
[0026] In the prefabrication process of the steel box unit, the middle web plate 3, the outer web plate 4, the hollow web plate 5 and the top plate 1 are fully welded in the top-down state of the top plate 1, and the bottom plate 2 is spot welded; the steel box unit is turned over, and the bottom plate 2 and the hollow web plate 5 are fully welded in the top-down state of the top plate 1 in the space of the hollow web plate 5, thereby solving the problem of welding the top plate bottom and the web plate and the top portion of the side sealing plate in the channel in the top-down welding mode, and avoiding the labor intensity of the top-down welding operation.
[0027] The assembling steps of the berthing float are as follows.
[0028] The prefabricated steel box unit is transported to the wharf site by vehicle, and multiple steel box units are assembled to form the berthing float, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 6 ; the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2 and the outer web plate 4 between the steel box units are fixedly installed by groove welding; at this time, the transversely distributed solid web plate 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the berthing float, the outer peripheral longitudinal angle steel 11 of the hollow web plate 5 penetrates the solid web plate 10, as shown in Figures 7 to 8 ; the end sealing plate 12 is fixedly installed at both ends of the berthing float, the waist plate 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the end sealing plate 12 and the solid web plate 10, the vertically distributed angle steel 11 at the upper and lower ends of the waist plate 13 is fixedly installed by welding and fixedly installed with the angle steel 11 penetrating the solid web plate 10 longitudinally, as shown in Figures 6 to 8 ; the solid web plate 10 separates the middle web plate 3 and the outer web plate 4 between the steel box units. The bottom of the berthing float is lifted by inflating the air bag, and is pushed into the water by the shovel.
[0029] The solid web plates 10 in the berthing float and between the solid web plate 10 and the end sealing plate 12 form independent communication spaces, as shown in Figure 6 ; the concrete is poured into the communication spaces, the berthing float is launched into the water, and the counterweight is installed in the berthing float to adjust the water depth and the water balance.
[0030] The outer web plate 4 at each of the four corners of the berthing float has a water depth scale line 14, Figure 4 which is shown at one place, and is used to observe the water depth of the berthing float after being launched into the water.
[0031] The splicing joints of the top plate 1, the bottom plate 2 and the outer web plate 4 between the steel box units present a staggered joint structure, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 ; the top plate 1 of the previous steel box unit is welded to the top surface of the outer web plate 4 of the subsequent steel box unit, and the bottom plate 2 of the subsequent steel box unit is welded to the bottom surface of the outer web plate 4 of the previous steel box unit, so that the top plate 1 splicing joint, the outer web plate 4 splicing joint and the bottom plate 2 splicing joint present a staggered joint structure.
[0032] The cross section of the steel box unit is a three-box hole structure, and a stable support needs to be formed in the middle of the steel box unit. The existing steel box unit middle support is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN202295235U, which uses vertical longitudinal bulkhead columns for strengthening support in the middle of the box body. However, when subjected to local force, the box body cannot uniformly bear force.
[0033] The steel box unit of the mooring pontoon of the application comprises: The bottom plate 2 and the top plate 1, the two sides of the bottom plate 2 have outer webs 4, and the outer webs 4 are welded and fixed to the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 correspondingly.
[0034] There are two interval-distributed middle webs 3 between the outer webs 4, and the middle webs 3 are welded and fixed to the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 correspondingly.
[0035] The middle webs 3 are welded and fixed to install hollow partitions 5 between each other and between the middle webs 3 and the outer webs 4, the hollow partitions 5 are welded and fixed to install circular pipes 8, and the middle webs 3 are welded and fixed to install vertical columns 7 in the middle of the hollow partitions 5, and the vertical columns 7 are welded and fixed to install T-shaped longitudinal ribs 6.
[0036] The hollow partitions 5 between the middle webs 3 are hollow annular plates; and the hollow partitions 5 between the middle webs 3 and the outer webs 4 are C-shaped hollow annular plates. See Figures 4 to 5 illustrated.
[0037] The hollow partitions 5 are welded and fixed to install angle steels 11 at intervals around the periphery, and the multiple angle steels 11 transmit the force borne by the box body in each local part to the hollow partitions 5, and then transmit and disperse the force through the multiple angle steels 11.
[0038] The steel box of the application transmits and disperses the force borne by the box body through the three hollow partitions 5 and the angle steels 11 distributed at intervals around the periphery of the hollow partitions 5, solving the problem that the box body cannot uniformly bear force when subjected to local force.
[0039] After the multiple steel box units are prefabricated, they are transported from the prefabrication plant to the wharf, and the steel box units need to be hoisted and spliced. The existing box body disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN207311773U is provided with lifting lugs on the top plate to meet the hoisting needs, which is not conducive to the transportation of the steel box unit through the limited-height transportation road conditions.
[0040] The lifting lug structure of the mooring pontoon of the application comprises: The lifting lug plate 15 is fixed on the middle web 3, and the lifting lug plate 15 is provided with a lifting hole to be connected with a cable or a hook on the cable; the top plate 1 at the top of the lifting lug plate 15 is provided with a cable passing hole 16 for the cable to enter, and the lifting lug plate 15 is welded and fixed to the middle web 3 through a reinforcing plate 17. See Figure 9 , Figure 4 illustrated.
[0041] A reinforcing seat 18 larger than the lug plate 15 is welded and fixed to the middle web 3 at the back of the lug plate 15 , and the reinforcing seat 18 increases the anti-deformation strength of the back of the middle web 3 .
[0042] The middle web 3 is welded and fixed with the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 in correspondence with each other on the upper and lower sides. An outer web 4 is provided on the outside of the middle web 3. The outer web 4 is welded and fixed with the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 in correspondence with each other on the upper and lower sides. The top plate 1, the bottom plate 2, the middle web 3 and the outer web 4 constitute a steel box unit with a three-box hole structure.
[0043] The lifting ear plate 15 is located on the middle web 3 between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The middle web 3 does not occupy the height dimension of the steel box unit, so that the steel box unit can be made at the maximum height limit of the transportation road conditions during prefabrication, solving the problem that the lifting ear is on the top plate, which is not conducive to the transportation of the steel box unit through the limited height transportation road conditions.
[0044] The top plate 1 near the cable hole 16 is provided with a manhole, the top plate 1 at the manhole is installed with an openable cover 19, and the middle web 3 below the manhole is provided with a ladder 20. Figure 4 When pouring concrete into the internal space of the steel box unit of the mooring pontoon, the concrete pump pipe extends from the manhole, and the internal gas is exhausted from the cable hole 16, so that the air containing dust in the mooring pontoon is quickly discharged. After the concrete pouring is completed, the steel plate is used to seal the cable hole 16 and weld it. Figure 1 The cable hole 16 is not shown.
[0045] When mooring a pontoon to a dock, a buffer is required to prevent collisions between the pontoon and the dock. Prior art (see Chinese patent application publication number CN119975707A) uses elastic marine handles to provide a buffer to prevent collisions. However, when the pontoon's side panels have thin outer webs, this can easily cause localized deformation and concavity under stress.
[0046] The present invention provides a fender structure for a berthing pontoon, comprising: The berthing pontoon comprises multiple steel box units, and a bracket is welded and fixedly installed on the outer web 4 of the steel box unit, and a rubber body 26 is bonded and fixedly connected to the bracket. The rubber body 26 and the bracket form a fender structure on the outer web 4 of the berthing pontoon that provides elastic buffering.
[0047] The bracket is composed of vertical plates 22, longitudinal plates 23, and a mounting panel 21. The vertical plates 22 and longitudinal plates 23 are welded and fixed vertically and staggered. The vertical plates 22 and longitudinal plates 23 are in fixed contact with the outer web 4 at multiple locations. The mounting panel 21 is welded and fixed to the vertical plates 22 and longitudinal plates 23, and the rubber body 26 is fixed to the mounting panel 21. Figure 4 、 Figure 1 . Figure 1The left side of the center shows a plurality of fender structures, which are arranged at the outer circumferential side of the berthing float. The fender structures can be arranged as needed.
[0048] The power ship pulls the berthing float through the towing cable connection of the towing cable point 25, and when approaching the wharf, the mooring cable is used to pass around the bitt 24 on the berthing float to be connected to the wharf. When the rubber body 26 contacts and collides with the wharf, the collision force received by the rubber body 26 is transmitted to the outer web plate 4 through the installation panel 21, the plurality of vertical plates 22 and the plurality of longitudinal plates 23, which are vertically staggered and dispersed at multiple positions, to solve the problem of local indentation deformation of the outer web plate under force.
