Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrodynamic operation technology, and more specifically, relates to a hydrodynamic operation platform for sealing breaches. Background Technology

[0002] When dikes breach due to flooding in rivers and reservoirs, timely and effective sealing of the breaches is necessary to mitigate the impact of the floods and protect people's lives and property. Currently, commonly used equipment for breach sealing and emergency repairs includes: earthmoving vehicles, bulldozers, excavators, loaders, cranes, pile drivers / cofferdams, and waterborne delivery boats. However, when the breach is large and the water flow velocity is high, this commonly used equipment struggles to quickly and effectively reach the disaster site and seal the breach. Especially when river embankment breaches restrict the work area, this equipment cannot pass through, necessitating manual labor combined with small machinery for breach sealing. This results in slow delivery of sealing materials and low operational efficiency. Commonly used breach sealing and emergency repair equipment is suitable for sealing small, low-velocity dike breaches. Its disadvantages include: limited transport capacity of sealing materials, slow delivery, high labor input, low operational efficiency, and stringent requirements for access roads and work sites. It does not meet the needs of rapid sealing operations for large, high-velocity dike breaches.

[0003] Existing technology includes a work platform entitled "A Floating Operation Platform" with publication number CN220164152U. This technology relates to the field of floating operation platforms, specifically a floating operation platform with an operating platform. Its distinguishing feature is that floats are located on the left and right sides below the operating platform, and a power shield is located behind the floats. The floats and power shield are fixedly connected to the lower part of the operating platform. A propeller is housed within the power shield, and the propeller is connected to a driver on the operating platform via a power output shaft. A water inlet is located on the front side of the power shield, and a water outlet is located on the rear side. This dual-power drive enables stable operation of the platform, offering advantages such as simple structure, ease of use, high safety, and strong stability. However, this technology does not address the technical problems and solutions addressed in this application. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of the present invention, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part: As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 17As shown, this invention is a hydrodynamic platform for sealing breaches.

To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, an improved technical solution is proposed for the above structure. The structural module includes a stern structure 11, a midships structure 12, a bow structure 13, and a gangplank structure 14. Each structure is modular, allowing for independent hoisting, loading, and transportation to the operational area via water or land. Once in the water, they are reliably connected and assembled to form the main body of the hydrodynamic platform, providing buoyancy. Stern Structure 11: Located at the stern of the hydrodynamic platform, the stern structure is formed by assembling multiple modular stern structures.

[0024] Based on the hydraulic boundary characteristics of dam breaches, the surrounding environment, and the key technical points of breach sealing, a rapid construction and loading system for emergency rescue equipment and sealing materials can be implemented on the water surface. This system is suitable for rapid sealing operations on dam breaches with current velocities of up to 5 m / s, widths of 30-50 m, and depths of 2-10 m.

These modules serve as carriers for corresponding power, propulsion, control, operational, and auxiliary modules, forming a complete self-propelled hydrodynamic platform capable of loading and unloading emergency rescue equipment, transporting materials and equipment by water, navigating and anchoring the platform, and rapidly sealing dam breaches. Based on the characteristics of breach sealing operations, the main processes and principles of the operation of the waterborne dynamic work platform are as follows: modular structure transportation → structural module construction → other module construction → platform navigation on water → platform berthing and landing on shore → loading of rescue equipment and materials → platform departure from shore → platform approaching the dam breach → platform approaching the dam breach → platform dynamic anchoring → platform dynamic anchoring → equipment withdrawal.

When returning to the waters, the dedicated chassis can quickly hoist and tow the modular structure back from the water, completing the water-land switch.

[0026] Structural module construction: After the modular structure is thrown into the water, the various structures are spliced ​​and assembled first horizontally and then vertically. The buoyancy is used to adjust the structural action. The joints on the modular structure are quickly and reliably connected to form a large-area water operation platform, i.e., a structural module.

[0027] Other module construction: The power module, propulsion module, control module, operation module and auxiliary module are hoisted onto the structural module respectively. The interfaces between each module and the structural module are detachable, which can be quickly installed or removed as a whole to form a complete waterborne power operation platform.

[0028] Platform navigation on water: Adaptive navigation of the water-powered work platform, through testing and inspection to ensure normal functional status.

[0029] Platform berthing and landing: The water-powered operation platform berths and lands at the shore by rotating 360 degrees through the water jet propulsion device at the bow to move the platform to or from the shore, with good adaptability to shallow water.

[0030] Loading of rescue equipment and supplies: After the hydroelectric operation platform arrives at the shore, the gangway winch controls the gangway structure to reach the shore, and the rescue equipment can be loaded onto the platform on its own. The sealing materials are hoisted and loaded by the platform crane.

[0031] Platform offshore navigation: After loading rescue equipment and sealing materials, the hydroelectric operation platform sails to the waters where the dike breached.

[0032] Platform approaching the dam breach: The water-powered operation platform can be moored and approached near the breach to occupy the dam area, and a gangway structure can be used to cross the bank.

[0033] Rescue equipment download: The rescue equipment is downloaded to the access channel via a ramp structure. The rescue equipment can be left on the platform for operation or used for operation on the shore of the access channel, depending on the needs.

[0034] Platform dynamic anchoring: The waterborne dynamic operation platform is initially positioned by anchoring during navigation, and then the position is adjusted at the breach by dynamic positioning (DP). After selecting a suitable position, the DP is closed and the anchor cable and shore mooring pile are locked.

[0035] Dyke breach sealing: Dyke breach sealing is a comprehensive and complex near-shore water operation. Before implementation, the command center needs to coordinate relevant flood control and emergency rescue equipment to conduct a hazard inspection and determine the water flow, geology, and dyke encroachment conditions at the breach location. After the hydrodynamic platform is anchored, piles are pre-planted into the breach using piling equipment to quickly reduce the water flow cross-section and strengthen the sealing foundation. Specialized sealing materials such as sealing components and geotextile bags are then thrown and filled using deck machinery on the platform to quickly seal the breach. As needed, the supply and transfer of sealing materials between the equipment and the platform are ensured.

[0036] Equipment withdrawal: After the breach sealing operation is completed, the equipment will be withdrawn and maintained in sequence.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Adaptable to rapid sealing operations in high-velocity, large-scale dam breaches. 2. Rapidly constructs large-area hydrodynamic operation platforms, capable of carrying heavy loads to transport emergency rescue equipment and sealing and relief supplies, supporting large engineering machinery in water surface piling, river dredging, and water emergency rescue operations. 3. Can be modularly assembled and expanded to form transfer platforms, floating piers, and roll-on / roll-off unloading channels for rivers and nearshore areas.
