Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to engineering vessels and their operation methods, and more particularly to an anchor chain system storage and deployment vessel and its operation methods. Background Technology
[0002] In offshore wind power, floating platforms, and other marine engineering projects, anchor chain systems typically consist of an anchor head and a long anchor chain connected to it. As engineering scale increases, the length and weight of anchor chains also increase, leading to a greater number of anchor chain systems requiring transportation, connection, and deployment in a single operation. Currently, anchor chains and anchor heads are mostly transported and deployed using ordinary engineering vessels, transport barges, or temporarily converted vessels. Onboard space is typically used in accordance with general cargo transportation methods, lacking specialized arrangements for the different shapes of anchor chains and anchor heads.
[0003] Because anchor chains are long, continuous components, while anchor heads are heavy, independent components, their loading, hoisting, and connection methods differ. If anchor chains and anchor heads are piled together on the main deck or in the same area, it easily occupies connection work space and causes the paths for anchor chain extension, anchor head hoisting, and anchor head-to-chain connection to intersect. During operations, the front end of the anchor chain needs to be led from the storage location to the connection area, and the anchor head also needs to be hoisted from the storage location to the connection area, and then transferred to the deployment location along with the anchor chain. Existing vessels lack the space organization to simultaneously accommodate the above storage, transportation, and deployment processes, often requiring repeated hoisting, adjustments to stacking positions, or reliance on multiple vessels, resulting in poor operational coordination, low efficiency, and increased difficulty in organizing offshore construction.

Attached Figure Description
[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention;
[0042] Figure 2 This is a top view of the present invention;
[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit structure of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0044] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0045] like Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an anchor chain system storage and deployment vessel and its operation method. The anchor chain system storage and deployment vessel mainly consists of three parts: the hull, the hoisting system 1, and the deployment device 2 located at the bow. The hoisting system 1 is a marine crane, including a base, a slewing tower, a boom, and a hook, installed on the main deck in the middle of the hull. The hull adopts a catamaran design, including two side panels 3 and a central connecting structure 4 connecting the two side panels 3. The central connecting structure 4 is located between the two side panels 3, providing a relatively continuous central space. Therefore, an anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 for storing and transporting anchor chains is set within the central connecting structure 4. Each of the two side panels 3 has an anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 for storing anchor heads. The two anchor head storage and transportation units 6 are located on the transverse sides of the hull of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, making the weight distribution of the hull more even and the hull more stable. The anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 is equipped with detachable lashing straps and wooden wedges for temporarily fixing the anchor heads during navigation. With this arrangement, the anchor chains are mainly stored in the middle of the hull, while the anchor heads are stored in three locations on both sides of the hull. The anchor chains and anchor heads no longer need to be piled up on the main deck, nor will they be mixed in the same storage and transportation area. The paths for subsequent hoisting, connection, and deployment are clearer.
[0046] like Figure 3As shown, the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 can be understood as a chain storage space located within the midship connecting structure 4, extending along the ship's length. The chain delivery mechanism is correspondingly located at the chain delivery end of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5. The anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 is equipped with an adjustable partition structure 51 to change the size of the chain storage space to accommodate different specifications of anchor chains. The adjustable partition structure 51 consists of multiple sets of detachable partitions, which divide the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 into multiple chain storage spaces. The detachable partitions are parallel to each other and installed at a 60° angle relative to the horizontal plane. The detachable partitions have slots on both sides that mate with the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, allowing them to be installed within the unit. To ensure stability of the detachable partitions during chain storage and delivery, the slots are positioned along the installation direction of the detachable partitions and provide limiting on both sides of the partitions. After the detachable partition is inserted into the slot, its lateral movement is restricted by the slot on both sides. Its lower part is supported on the bottom or internal support structure of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, allowing the detachable partition to form a stable inclined separation state within the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5. When disassembly or reassembly is required, the hoisting system 1 lifts the detachable partition from the top opening of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, allowing the detachable partition to be removed or installed along the extension direction of the slot. When it is necessary to change the chain storage space, the hoisting system 1 lifts some of the detachable partitions out of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, and then reinstalls them as needed. That is to say, when the anchor chain is small or needs to be loaded separately, more detachable partitions can be retained, allowing the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 to form multiple smaller chain storage spaces; when the anchor chain is large or a larger chain storage space is required, some detachable partitions can be removed, allowing adjacent chain storage spaces to be merged. Multiple sets of detachable partitions form an inclined support structure within the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5. After the anchor chain is installed, it can be supported in the corresponding storage space. When the chain is released, it is also easy for the anchor chain to be led out along the chain release direction, and it is not easy to get stuck in the storage space.
[0047] When loading the anchor chain, the anchor chain is placed into the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 according to the extension direction of the corresponding storage space, with the front end of the anchor chain reserved near the exit end. In this way, during subsequent operations, the chain exit mechanism can directly pull the front end of the anchor chain from the exit end, without having to search for the front end of the anchor chain again from the anchor chain stack.
[0048] The lower part of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 is also equipped with an anchor chain tail-end fixing structure. This structure includes a load-bearing member 52 arranged along the ship's length and fixing holes thereon. A pin passes through these fixing holes to secure the anchor chain tail end. The load-bearing member 52 is located in the lower part of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, and multiple fixing holes are spaced apart along the length of the member 52, each corresponding to a different chain storage space. The anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 is equipped with an inspection door for personnel access to operate the pin. When loading the anchor chain, the tail end is fixed to the corresponding fixing hole using the pin, ensuring a reliable fixed position for the anchor chain tail end during storage, transportation, and unloading. The top opening of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 is equipped with a segmented, openable and closable cover 53, with each cover corresponding to at least one chain storage space. In non-operational state, the cover plate 53 can be opened and closed to cover the top opening of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 to prevent seawater or foreign objects from entering the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5; during operation, the corresponding cover plate can be opened or removed as needed to facilitate the operation of the anchor chain and detachable partitions inside the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 by the hoisting system 1 or other operating equipment.
[0049] Anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 is an anchor head storage area located inside the sheet body 3. The top of the sheet body 3 has a top hatch communicating with the anchor head storage area, and the top hatch is located within the working range of the hoisting system 1. The anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 forms a storage space for directly placing the anchor heads. The bottom of the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 forms a supporting surface for supporting the anchor heads, which is supported after placement. The storage space of the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 corresponds vertically to the top hatch, allowing the hoisting system 1 to directly lift the anchor heads from the top hatch. Since the anchor heads are directly lifted out by the hoisting system 1 during operation, the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 does not require a complex locking structure, and no additional unlocking is required before lifting the anchor heads. During operation, the hoisting system 1 directly lifts the anchor heads through the top hatch, eliminating the need for complex unlocking or removal of fasteners before lifting. Since the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 is located inside the body 3, the anchor head will not occupy the main deck connection operation area for a long time. The main deck can be used more for anchor chain lead-out, anchor head and anchor chain connection, and anchor head transfer to the deployment device 2. Both the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 and the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 are equipped with drainage holes at the bottom and ventilation openings on the side walls to prevent seawater accumulation and corrosion.
[0050] A connection operation area is located on the main deck of the vessel, within the operating range of the hoisting system 1. A chain-release mechanism is installed between the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 and the connection operation area. This mechanism guides the anchor chain tip from the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 to the connection operation area. The chain-release mechanism includes a chain-releasing mechanism and a guide component positioned along the anchor chain release path. The chain-releasing mechanism is a deep-water winch, and the guide component includes a chain guide roller or a chain guide groove. The guide component defines the path of the anchor chain from the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 to the connection operation area. The operating range of the hoisting system 1 covers the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6, the chain-releasing position of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, the connection operation area, and the deployment device 2. Therefore, during the chain-releasing process, when the anchor chain tip is pulled to the chain-releasing position or near the connection operation area by the chain-releasing mechanism, the hoisting system 1 can provide auxiliary lifting or position adjustment for the anchor chain tip, ensuring its smooth entry into the connection operation area. During operation, the hoisting system 1 executes different tasks sequentially through work scheduling—first coordinating chain delivery, then hoisting the anchor head, and finally hoisting the connected anchor chain and anchor head assembly, avoiding path interference caused by simultaneous operations. After the anchor chain tip reaches the connection operation area, the hoisting system 1 then hoists the anchor head from the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 to the connection operation area, connecting the anchor head and the anchor chain tip within this area. The connection method can be a pin connection. During connection, the anchor head is held by the hoisting system 1 or placed within the connection operation area, while the anchor chain tip is held within the connection operation area by the chain delivery mechanism. After aligning the connection part of the anchor head with the connection part of the anchor chain tip, the pin is inserted into the connection position, forming a connection between the anchor head and the anchor chain tip. After the pin connection is completed, the hoisting system 1 then hoists the anchor head connected to the anchor chain to the deployment device 2.
[0051] The deployment device 2 is located on the longitudinal centerline of the bow. The deployment device 2 includes a release slide for the anchor head, after being connected to the anchor chain, to enter the water. The release slide is a vertical or near-vertical slide, and has a guide groove for the anchor head to pass through. A low-friction liner, made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, is installed in the guide groove. The anchor head, after being connected to the anchor chain, is hoisted to the deployment device 2 by the hoisting system 1 and enters the release slide. The release slide is fixed at the bow, with its upper end within the working range of the hoisting system 1 and its lower end facing outwards from the bow and towards the water surface. The hoisting system 1 hoists the anchor head, after being connected to the anchor chain, to the upper end of the release slide, allowing the anchor head to enter the guide groove of the release slide. After the anchor head enters the guide groove, the guide groove restricts the direction of movement of the anchor head, and the low-friction liner contacts the anchor head, reducing the frictional resistance as the anchor head moves along the guide groove. During deployment, the anchor head enters the water along the release slide under its own weight. The release slide guides the direction of the anchor head's entry into the water, preventing it from swinging unrestrainedly into the water from the deck edge or while suspended. After the anchor head enters the water, the chain delivery mechanism continues to release the anchor chain, which is then output from the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 along with the anchor head. After the anchor head enters the water along the release slide, the hoisting system 1 releases its grip on the anchor head, and the chain delivery mechanism continues to release the anchor chain. Since the release slide is located on the longitudinal centerline of the bow, the anchor head enters the water from the bow position, and the anchor chain is subsequently output from the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 via the chain delivery mechanism.
[0052] When the anchor chain system is being used for storage and deployment, the anchor chains are first loaded into the anchor chain storage unit 5 at the dock. The storage space is adjusted by installing or removing removable bulkheads according to the specifications of the anchor chains to be loaded. The tail end of the anchor chain is fixed to the corresponding fixing hole on the load-bearing member 52 by a pin, while the front end of the anchor chain is left near the exit end for easy subsequent deployment. The anchor head is then loaded into the anchor head storage unit 6 at the plate 3, and placed directly inside the anchor head storage unit 6. After loading is complete, the cover plate 53 can be opened or closed to cover the top opening of the anchor chain storage unit 5, and the vessel can then sail to the target operating area.
[0053] After the vessel arrives at the target operating area, the dynamic positioning system is activated. This system, a standard marine configuration, includes a side thruster and a GPS position reference system to maintain the vessel at the target operating position. Upon commencement of deployment, the top opening corresponding to the anchor chain storage and transport unit 5 is opened, and the anchor chain tip is led out from the unit to the connection operation area via the chain delivery mechanism. During this process, a deep-water winch pulls or releases the anchor chain, and guide rollers or guide grooves guide the chain's path. The lifting system 1 assists near the chain delivery position of the anchor chain storage and transport unit 5, ensuring the anchor chain tip reaches the connection operation area more smoothly. Subsequently, the lifting system 1 directly lifts the anchor head from the anchor head storage and transport unit 6 through the top hatch on the top of the hull 3 and transports it to the connection operation area. Within the connection operation area, the anchor head and anchor chain tip are connected via a pin, completing the anchor head and anchor chain assembly.
[0054] After the anchor head is connected to the front end of the anchor chain, the hoisting system 1 lifts the anchor head connected to the anchor chain to the deployment device 2 at the bow, allowing the anchor head to enter the release slide. During the hoisting of the anchor head, the hoisting system 1 is in active wave compensation mode to reduce the impact of hull heave on the hoisting process. After the anchor head enters the release slide, it enters the water along the release slide under its own weight, and the chain delivery mechanism continues to release the anchor chain, allowing the anchor chain to be gradually output from the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 along with the anchor head. During the continued chain release process, the ship moves along the preset deployment direction, allowing the anchor chain to be deployed in the predetermined direction. When the anchor chain is released to the predetermined length, the end of the anchor chain is transferred to a fixed pile on the hull deck and secured. The fixed pile is a steel cylinder welded to the deck, with a shackle at the top for connecting the end of the anchor chain, completing one anchor chain system deployment operation.
[0055] The anchor piles are installed on the ship's deck and within the operating range of the lifting system 1. After the anchor chain is extended to the predetermined length, the chain-release mechanism stops extending the chain, and the lifting system 1 lifts or assists in transferring the end of the anchor chain to the anchor pile, securing the end of the anchor chain to the anchor pile using pins, shackles, or other common connectors. After the end of the anchor chain is secured, the previous anchor head is no longer held in the deployment device 2, the release slide is in an empty state, the chain-release mechanism stops extending the anchor chain, and the lifting system 1 can proceed to the lifting operation of the next anchor head.
[0056] After one deployment operation is completed, the other anchor head is hoisted from the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 to the connection operation area via the hoisting system 1, and then the next connection and deployment of the anchor head and anchor chain front end is carried out. During the next deployment operation, the chain delivery mechanism leads out the front end of the next anchor chain from the corresponding chain storage space of the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5, and the hoisting system 1 transports the next anchor head from the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 to the connection operation area, so that the next anchor head is connected to the front end of the next anchor chain, and then the aforementioned deployment process is repeated. When all deployment operations are completed, the chain delivery mechanism reverses to retrieve the excess anchor chain, the hoisting system 1 returns to its initial position, and the cover plate 53 can be opened and closed again. Because the anchor chain storage and transportation unit 5 is located within the central connecting structure 4, and the anchor head storage and transportation unit 6 is located at the hull 3, a relatively continuous operating path is formed between the chain delivery mechanism, the connecting operation area, the hoisting system 1, and the deployment device 2. Therefore, the vessel can complete anchor chain storage and transportation, anchor head retrieval, anchor head and anchor chain connection, and anchor chain system deployment operations on a single vessel, reducing the mixing and repeated transfer of anchor chains and anchor heads on the main deck and improving the efficiency of the connection between anchor chain system storage and transportation and deployment operations. The vessel is equipped with a diesel generator set to power the hoisting system 1, the chain delivery mechanism, and other necessary components.
