[0002] The immersed tube construction technology refers to prefabricating reinforced concrete pipe sections or all-steel pipe sections in a dry dock or on a large barge, sealing both ends, and then floating them to the designated waters, and then filling water to bury them in the designed position to fix them, so as to build the required cross-river pipeline or large underwater space. When the immersed tube is immersed in water, a buoyancy airbag is usually tied to the outside of the immersed tube to reduce the sinking speed of the immersed tube. However, the existing method of using a buoyancy airbag to slow down the sinking speed of the immersed tube is greatly affected by the impact of the water flow, and the buoyancy stability is poor, which can easily cause the immersed tube to deflect and displace, and the service life of the buoyancy airbag is limited, and the ability to be used again at the construction site is insufficient. To this end, those skilled in the art provide a stable and fast-installed steel buoy for immersed tubes on the water to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. Utility Model Content

After the subsequent sinking of the tube is completed, the diver dives to open the water inlet valve and the exhaust valve of the steel buoy so that the water gradually fills the steel buoy. While the buoyancy tube is being filled with water, its buoyancy gradually disappears.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, a stable and quickly installed steel buoy for an immersed tube on water comprises a buoyancy tube 1 and a lifting lug 2 installed on the upper end of the buoyancy tube 1. The lifting lug 2 is provided as a lifting component between a crane vessel and the buoyancy tube 1, so that the crane vessel can lift the buoyancy tube 1 at a specified position of the immersed tube 7.
[0025] A plurality of sling mechanisms 3 are arranged on one side of the body of the buoyancy tube 1 which is staggered from the lifting ear 2. The sling mechanism 3 includes a first side support frame 31. A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected in the middle of the support of the first side support frame 31, and a sling 33 is sleeved in the middle of the shaft of the rotating shaft 32. By utilizing the sling 33 in the sling mechanism 3 and the hook 46 in the hook mechanism 4 to form a hoop, the submerged tube 7 is fixed on the buoyancy tube 1 by a hoop. The buoyancy tube 1 is used as a buoyancy component to drive the submerged tube 7 to sink.
[0026] A plurality of groups of hook mechanisms 4 are arranged on the other side of the cylinder body of the buoyancy cylinder 1, which is staggered from the lifting ear 2. Each group of sling mechanisms 3 and each group of hook mechanisms 4 are horizontally opposite to each other. The hook mechanism 4 includes a second side support frame 41. A rotating frame 42 is installed on the upper end of the bracket of the second side support frame 41. A winding drum 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the bracket of the rotating frame 42, and a flexible lifting rope 45 is wound around the outer side of the drum of the winding drum 43. A hook 46 is arranged on the top of the flexible lifting rope 45. A traction rod 44 guided by the flexible lifting rope 45 is symmetrically arranged on one side of the bracket of the rotating frame 42. The flexible lifting rope 45 is wound by the winding drum 43. When the submerged tube 7 is hooped and positioned, the flexible lifting rope 45 is pulled out from the winding drum 43 and wrapped around the submerged tube 7 until the hook 46 at the top of the flexible lifting rope 45 is hooked on the sling 33. The hoop of the flexible lifting rope 45 is used to fix the submerged tube 7 on the buoyancy cylinder 1.
[0027] A locking component adapted to the winding drum 43 is provided on one side of the bracket of the rotating frame 42, and the locking component includes an arm force frame 48 installed on one side of the bracket of the rotating frame 42 and a spline groove 47 opened at one end of the central axis of the winding drum 43. A guide sleeve 411 is installed through the middle of the bracket of the arm force frame 48, and a prismatic guide rod 410 is slidably connected inside the sleeve of the guide sleeve 411. A push handle 49 is provided at one end of the arm rod of the prismatic guide rod 410, and a spline shaft 412 meshing with the spline groove 47 is provided at the other end of the arm rod of the prismatic guide rod 410. The prismatic guide rod 410 is fixed to the guide sleeve 411 by means of a positioning pin. After the buoyancy tube 1 is integrally connected to the submerged tube 7, the push handle 49 is pushed to drive the prismatic guide rod 410 to move forward along the guide sleeve 411, pushing the spline shaft 412 into the spline groove 47 to form a locked engagement state, locking the winding drum 43 to limit its position, stopping its line-releasing function, and allowing the flexible suspension rope 45 to maintain a suitable line-releasing length, thereby performing a stable hoop positioning on the submerged tube 7. It has better flexibility and adaptability, and can adapt to the hoop positioning work of submerged tubes 7 of different styles.
[0028] One side of the cylinder body of the buoyancy cylinder 1 is connected and installed with a water inlet valve 5 at the bottom position, and the other side of the cylinder body of the buoyancy cylinder 1 is connected and installed with an exhaust valve 6 at the top position. When the buoyancy cylinder 1 sinks, the diver dives to open the water inlet valve 5 and the exhaust valve 6 of the buoyancy cylinder 1, so that water is gradually poured into the buoyancy cylinder 1, and the buoyancy of the buoyancy cylinder 1 is gradually reduced. When the buoyancy disappears completely, the diver dives again to release the locking state of the sling mechanism 3 and the hook mechanism 4, so that the submerged tube 7 is separated from the buoyancy cylinder 1. At this time, the buoyancy cylinder 1 can be directly lifted out of the water by a crane. After the water inside the buoyancy cylinder 1 is emptied, it can be recycled again.
[0029] A plurality of groups of inner support brackets 11 are arranged inside the cylinder body of the buoyancy cylinder 1, and the inner support brackets 11 are cross structures. By installing the inner support brackets 11 inside the buoyancy cylinder 1, the firmness of the overall structure of the buoyancy cylinder 1 can be improved to prevent extrusion deformation.
[0030] The buoyancy tube 1 is connected to the ring hoop of the immersed tube 7 through a flexible suspension rope 45, and the contact part between the immersed tube 7 and the buoyancy tube 1 is wrapped with a wear-resistant geomembrane. By wrapping the geomembrane at the contact part between the immersed tube 7 and the buoyancy tube 1, the anti-corrosion coating of the immersed tube 7 is prevented from being damaged when the tube is immersed.
[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when assisting the sinking of the submerged tube, firstly, the whole structure of the buoyancy tube 1 is hoisted to the middle of the submerged tube 7 by using a crane, so that the buoyancy tube 1 and the submerged tube 7 are close to each other, and at the same time, a geomembrane is wrapped in advance at the contact part between the submerged tube 7 and the buoyancy tube 1 to prevent the anti-corrosion coating of the submerged tube 7 from being damaged when the tube is sunk;
[0032] Then, the flexible lifting rope 45 is wound by the winding drum 43 in the hook mechanism 4, and the flexible lifting rope 45 is pulled out from the winding drum 43 and wrapped around the submerged tube 7 until the hook 46 at the top of the flexible lifting rope 45 is hooked on the sling 33, and the submerged tube 7 is fixed to the buoyancy cylinder 1 by the hoop of the flexible lifting rope 45. After the buoyancy cylinder 1 and the submerged tube 7 are integrally connected, the winding drum 43 is locked and limited by the locking component to stop its line-releasing function, so that the flexible lifting rope 45 maintains a suitable line-releasing length, and the submerged tube 7 is stably positioned by the hoop;
[0033] Finally, after the submerged tube 7 sinks, the diver dives to open the water inlet valve 5 and the exhaust valve 6 of the buoyancy cylinder 1, so that water is gradually poured into the buoyancy cylinder 1, and the buoyancy of the buoyancy cylinder 1 is gradually reduced. Its buoyancy disappears completely, and the submerged tube 7 sinks smoothly to the bottom of the water. After the submerged tube 7 sinks completely to the bottom, the diver dives again to release the locking state of the sling mechanism 3 and the hook mechanism 4, so that the submerged tube 7 is separated from the buoyancy cylinder 1. At this time, the buoyancy cylinder 1 can be directly lifted out of the water by a crane. After the water inside the buoyancy cylinder 1 is emptied, it can be recycled again.
[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
