Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hose installation at an unloading station, and more particularly to a hose installation device at an unloading station. Background Art

[0002] Floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs) are key facilities for offshore oil development, primarily used for the extraction, processing, storage, and export of offshore oil, natural gas, and other energy sources. Unloading stations are key equipment on FPSOs, primarily responsible for transferring crude oil to cargo ships. Unloading station hoses are typically composed of multiple small sections, each approximately 10.7 meters long and with an average diameter of 0.8 meters. Due to transportation issues, hoses must be shipped individually in bulk. Upon arrival at the factory, they undergo a series of tasks, including assembly, torque inspection, water pressure testing, floating, and installation and winding. Due to the large size of the hoses, installation on the ground is somewhat inconvenient, and the installed hoses are also difficult to move into the water. Therefore, we have proposed a hose installation device for unloading stations. Utility Model Content

[0032] In this embodiment, the chain on the hoist chain hoist 7 is used to drive the turning frame 6 to rotate, so that the turning frame 6 is raised when the hose is connected. When the hose needs to be placed in the seawater, the hoist chain hoist 7 is used to drive the turning frame 6 to turn downward, and the third support roller 9 on the turning frame 6 is used to guide the hose.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , both sides of the mounting frame 3 are fixedly connected with fixing seats 28 , and fixing holes 29 are opened on the fixing seats 28 .

[0039] Working principle: When in use, first fix the pipe rack 1 on the dock shore through the cooperation of the fixing seat 28, the fixing hole 29 and the screw, and use the hoist chain hoist 7 to lift the turning frame 6. At this time, use the crane to lift the multi-section hose to the first support roller 11 on the top of the pipe rack 1 and the second support roller 13 on the top of multiple mobile support vehicles 2, and then rotate the multiple first knobs 22 respectively, and use the first knob 22 to drive the first two-way screw rod 19 to rotate. The two opposite limiting rollers 21 are driven to approach each other through the threaded cooperation between the first two-way screw rod 19 and the two first movable seats 20, so that the inner side of the limiting roller 21 contacts the outer side of the hose, thereby limiting the hose to the middle above the pipe rack 1 and the mobile support vehicle 2. At the same time, turn the multiple second knobs 27, and use the second knob 27 to drive the second two-way screw rod 24 to rotate. The threaded cooperation between the screw rod 24 and the two second movable seats 25 drives the two opposing fixed plates 26 to approach each other, so that the two fixed plates 26 squeeze and fix the outer side of the hose, so that the hose is stably placed on the pipe rack 1 and the mobile support vehicle 2, and then push the mobile support vehicle 2 to drive the hose above the mobile support vehicle 2 to move, so that the multiple sections of hose are connected end to end, thereby connecting the pipe rack 1 and the hoses above multiple mobile support vehicles 2. Finally, after the hoses are connected, the multiple second knobs 27 are reversed respectively, and the second knobs 27 are used to drive the second bidirectional screw rod 24 to reverse, so that the fixed plate 26 releases the fixation of the hose. At this time, the hoist chain hoist 7 is used to drive the turning frame 6 to turn downward, and the assembled hose end is connected to the winch on the hull on the sea surface, so as to pull the hose to be laid between the FPSO and the unloading station.
