Sinking well foundation is a kind of deep foundation formed by sinking the structure prefabricated on the ground using its own weight and finally sealing the bottom. After the sinking well structure is prefabricated, the sinking well is usually floated, positioned and bedded by using a mooring system.
[0003] At present, the research on sinking well foundation floating-positioning mainly focuses on inland sinking well foundation, and there is little research on sinking well foundation under marine conditions. Under marine environment, sinking well is affected by wind, wave and current loads during floating-positioning, and the stability of the mooring system is lower than that in inland, accompanied by heave, pitch and roll problems. Large heave will have a great impact on the cable force of the mooring system. In addition, under the action of large rope load, the well wall material is under great stress, which may be damaged and even cause safety hazards. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a kind of offshore sinking well floating positioning heave suppression auxiliary device, can reduce the heave phenomenon in the process of floating-positioning, improve the stability of mooring system, improve the efficiency of floating-positioning.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: In a first aspect, the present application provides a kind of offshore sinking well floating positioning heave suppression auxiliary device, including well perimeter heave plate and several layered heave plates, and lifting rod connecting well perimeter heave plate and each layered heave plate;Well perimeter heave plate is placed at the bottom of sinking well foundation and connected with well bottom floating sealing plate;The distance between well perimeter heave plate and each layered heave plate is adjusted by lifting rod;Through holes are formed in well perimeter heave plate and each layered heave plate, the hole position information of through hole on each layered heave plate is generated by fractal method, and the hole diameter of through hole on each layered heave plate is determined by Fibonacci sequence.
[0006] In combination with the first aspect, further, the layered heave plate includes first layer heave plate, second layer heave plate and third layer heave plate.
[0007] In combination with the first aspect, further, the cross section of sinking well foundation is inverted corner rectangle, and the hole position information of through hole on each layered heave plate generated by fractal method includes: The rectangular region adapted to the rounded rectangular section of the caisson foundation of each layered heave plate is divided into four first-level sub-rectangular regions along the mid-perpendiculars of the edges of the rectangular region, and a through hole is arranged at the geometric center of each first-level sub-rectangular region; The first-level sub-rectangular region is divided into four second-level sub-rectangular regions along the mid-perpendiculars of the edges of the first-level sub-rectangular region, and a through hole is arranged at the geometric center of each second-level sub-rectangular region; The second-level sub-rectangular region is divided into four third-level sub-rectangular regions along the mid-perpendiculars of the edges of the second-level sub-rectangular region, and a through hole is arranged at the geometric center of each third-level sub-rectangular region.
[0008] In combination with the first aspect, further, the lifting rod is composed of a plurality of sleeves with different diameters.
[0009] In combination with the first aspect, further, the well heave plate, each layered heave plate and the lifting rod are steel structures.
[0010] In combination with the first aspect, further, the well heave plate, each layered heave plate and the lifting rod are coated with graphene modified paint as a protective layer.
[0011] The second aspect provides a sea caisson floating positioning heave suppression method, which is implemented by using the sea caisson floating positioning heave suppression auxiliary device of the first aspect, and the method comprises the following steps: In the floating stage, the lifting rod is retracted, and the well heave plate and each layered heave plate are stacked in sequence; In the positioning stage, the spacing between the well heave plate and each layered heave plate is adjusted by the lifting rod according to the actual situation of wind, wave and current; After the positioning operation is completed, the sea caisson floating positioning heave suppression auxiliary device is removed.
[0012] In combination with the second aspect, further, the method further comprises the following steps before the positioning stage: Based on the water tank test and numerical simulation experiment, the heave plate spacing distribution suggestion of the actual sea area under different wind, wave and current conditions is obtained, and the spacing between the well heave plate and each layered heave plate is adjusted by the lifting rod according to the heave plate spacing distribution suggestion.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: The offshore sinking well floating positioning heaving suppression auxiliary device provided by the application can increase the water dynamic damping of the sinking well under the action of waves, effectively consume heaving motion energy, and thus reduce the heaving amplitude of the sinking well in the positioning stage. The reduction of heaving motion directly reduces the dynamic tension and impact load of the mooring anchor cable coupled therewith, can improve the stability and reliability of the entire mooring system in complex sea conditions, and reduce the risk of anchor failure or structural damage caused by excessive cable force. Stable motion state can reduce the dynamic water pressure and unbalanced load acting on the sinking well wall, which is beneficial to avoiding stress exceeding the standard or fatigue damage of the sinking well structure in the sensitive construction stage, and ensures the safety of the foundation structure. The spacing between the layers of heaving plates can be adjusted in real time through the lifting rod, which can change the overall performance of the damping system, so that the device can flexibly adapt to different wind, wave and current combined working conditions, realize the upgrade from "fixed damping" to "adjustable damping", and expand the applicable environment range of the device. The through holes on the layered heaving plates are arranged by using a fractal method and the hole diameters are determined according to the Fibonacci sequence. This design creates a multi-scale turbulent dissipation effect, which can provide efficient damping while optimizing the stress state of the plate body itself and reducing unnecessary static water resistance, achieving the best balance between damping efficiency and fluid dynamic performance. The surfaces of the components are coated with a graphene modified waterproof layer, which has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and weather resistance, can effectively resist seawater corrosion, marine organism attachment and construction wear, and prolong the service life and maintenance period of the device in harsh marine environments. The device is installed, operated and removed as an independent auxiliary module, and can be conveniently removed as a whole after the sinking well positioning is completed and used in subsequent engineering, improving the utilization rate and engineering economy of the equipment.
[0014] The offshore sinking well floating positioning heaving suppression method provided by the application designs two working modes of "floating and folding" and "positioning and unfolding". In the floating stage, the plate bodies are folded and overlapped, which can reduce the sailing resistance and towing risk; in the positioning stage, the plate bodies are unfolded and work, and focus on providing damping to suppress vibration. This design realizes the optimal performance in the whole process. The method also emphasizes that water tank test and numerical simulation should be carried out before engineering application, and the optimized adjustment scheme under different sea conditions is obtained in advance. This provides scientific and data-based decision support for on-site construction, which helps to shorten the on-site debugging time, improve the one-time success rate and overall efficiency of positioning operation.
