Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of docks and floating docks, in particular to a floating dock with dock functions. Background Art

[0002] Existing docks are mainly divided into dry docks and floating docks. A dry dock is land-side on three sides and faces water on one side. It includes a dock entrance, a dock chamber, and a dock bow. Water is filled and drained to allow ships to enter, exit, and repair. A floating dock is a movable, concave-shaped structure that can be used for repairing, building, and even salvaging sunken ships. It is controlled by adjusting the ballast water to raise and lower the dock, making it suitable for a variety of water environments.

[0003] A floating dock is a type of pier that floats with the ebb and flow of water. It typically consists of a pontoon, supporting anchorage, a bridge, and revetments. Suitable for areas with large water level fluctuations, it is easy to construct and highly maneuverable. While existing floating docks provide convenient docking and loading and unloading facilities, most lack the ability to directly repair ships. In contrast, traditional shipyards, while capable of providing ship repair services, often require large spaces and are costly to build and maintain. Existing facilities cannot meet the rapid and flexible needs of ships requiring temporary docking for minor repairs or maintenance. For example, patrol vessels may encounter emergencies while on duty and require a temporary docking for repairs, but often lack suitable docking and repair locations, preventing timely maintenance. Furthermore, patrol vessels require a place to rest and resupply during their missions, but existing facilities often cannot meet these requirements simultaneously. Therefore, developing a new type of floating dock that integrates the repair functions of a shipyard while maintaining the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a floating dock would be an innovative solution. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a floating dock with a dock function, which can be used as a floating dock in daily use and can also be used for repairing ships.

[0005] The floating dock with a docking function of the present invention includes a pontoon. The pontoon is of a U-shaped structure, and its inner side includes a groove for ships to enter the dock. One end of the pontoon in the corresponding length direction is provided with a first opening connected to the groove, and the ship can enter or exit the groove of the pontoon along the first opening. The groove is further provided with a second and a third opening on the deck and the bottom of the pontoon respectively, so that the ship will not be blocked when entering or exiting the hull. A lifting platform is provided at the groove of the pontoon. The lifting platform can be lifted so that its deck and the deck of the pontoon are in a relatively aligned position. In this use state, it is combined with the pontoon, and the whole can be used as a floating dock, and can be used as a floating dock and a ship maintenance platform. During the lifting process, the ship entering the groove can also be lifted off the water surface. In addition, it can be lowered so that it is completely submerged underwater, which is convenient for ships to enter and exit.

[0006] Furthermore, a guide mechanism is provided between the lifting platform and the inner wall of the groove, and the guide mechanism limits the lifting platform to move only in the vertical direction relative to the pontoon. The setting of the guide mechanism can prevent the lifting platform from moving horizontally relative to the pontoon, thereby improving the stability of the floating dock and improving its wind and wave resistance.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide mechanism includes a plurality of vertical track grooves circumferentially distributed along the inner wall of the groove, and a plurality of sliders correspondingly circumferentially distributed on the outer peripheral surface of the lifting platform, and the sliders and the track grooves form a sliding fit.

[0008] Furthermore, a water storage tank is provided inside the lifting platform and is equipped with a water pump and a water valve, and the lifting platform is driven to rise and fall by changing the buoyancy of the lifting platform.

[0009] Furthermore, hydraulic rods are connected between the four sides of the lifting platform and the pontoon, and the lifting platform is driven to rise and fall by the hydraulic rods.

[0010] Furthermore, the pontoon is equipped with winches at both ends of the corresponding grooves. The winches at both ends of the grooves are connected to the two ends of the lifting platform via anchor chains. The winches at both ends of the corresponding grooves are connected to the other end of the lifting platform via anchor chains. The anchor chains of the winches pull and secure the two ends of the lifting platform, which can improve the lifting platform's resistance to water flow. In particular, when the lifting platform is submerged, it is subject to strong water flow. This can serve as a safety measure and protect the guide mechanism from damage caused by water flow.

[0011] The lifting drive part of the lifting platform can combine its own buoyancy and hydraulic rods at the same time, reducing the performance requirements of the equipment.

[0012] Furthermore, the pontoon is provided with a winch for towing ships. For a barge with a damaged power system or a non-motorized barge, the winch can be used to tow it into the groove of the pontoon. The winch can be arranged at a position of the pontoon corresponding to the closed end of the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting platform is provided with a plurality of support blocks for cooperating with the bottom of the ship for support. The setting of the support blocks can lift and support the ship to prevent the ship from shaking or even tipping over.

[0014] Furthermore, the pontoon is provided with a plurality of anchor chains at one end in the corresponding length direction for anchoring to the riverbed, and the other end in the corresponding length direction is provided with a bridge and anchor chains for connecting to the main wharf, so as to facilitate the movement of vehicles and pedestrians between the wharves.

[0015] The utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] Flexibility and adaptability: It can float with the water level changes and adapt to different water environments, especially for areas with large water level changes;

[0017] Space saving: Compared with traditional fixed docks, floating docks take up less space and can be flexibly deployed where needed without requiring large-scale land reconstruction;

[0018] Cost-effectiveness: Construction and maintenance costs are relatively low as it does not require complex infrastructure support such as heavy cranes and fixed structures;

[0019] Rapid deployment: The floating dock can be quickly deployed to where it is needed, providing a rapid response capability for emergencies or temporary needs, such as temporary docking and repairs of patrol vessels;

[0020] Multifunctionality: In addition to being a place for ships to dock and repair, it can also be configured with other functions as needed, such as cargo loading and unloading, personnel boarding and disembarking, temporary rest areas, etc.

[0021] Easy maintenance: Due to its relatively simple structure, maintenance and repair work are also easier, reducing the complexity and cost of long-term operation;

[0022] Environmentally friendly: The floating dock has less impact on the water environment because it does not require a large amount of land reclamation or excavation work, which helps to protect the marine ecology and can meet the country's environmental protection requirements.

[0023] In summary, the floating dock with dock function of the present invention is an economical, flexible and multifunctional solution, and is particularly suitable for occasions that require rapid deployment and adaptation to changing environments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The structure of the floating dock with dock function in the embodiment of the utility model is as follows Figure 1-3 As shown, a pontoon 1 is provided. The pontoon 1 is a U-shaped structure. The inner side of the pontoon 1 includes a groove 11 for a ship a to enter the dock, i.e., an area for ship maintenance. A first opening 11a connected to the groove 11 is provided at one end of the pontoon 1 in the corresponding length direction. The ship a can enter or exit the groove 11 of the pontoon 1 along the first opening 11a. The groove 11 is further provided with a second and a third opening (11b, 11c) on the deck and the bottom of the pontoon 1, respectively. The entry and exit of the ship a will not cause any damage to the ship. The groove 11 of the pontoon 1 is provided with a lifting platform 2, which can be lifted to align its deck with the deck of the pontoon 1. The lifting platform 2 and the top of the pontoon 1 both have decks. In this use state, they are combined with the pontoon 1, and the whole can be used as a floating dock, which can be used as a floating dock and a repair platform for ship a. During the lifting process, the ship a entering the groove 11 can also be lifted out of the water. In addition, it can be completely submerged underwater by lowering (such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The x-standard line in the middle represents the water level), which is convenient for ships to enter and exit.

[0028] A guide mechanism is provided between the lifting platform 2 and the inner wall of the groove 11. The guide mechanism restricts the lifting platform 2 to vertical movement relative to the pontoon 1. The provision of the guide mechanism prevents the lifting platform 2 from translating relative to the pontoon 1, thereby improving the stability of the floating dock and its wind and wave resistance. The guide mechanism includes a plurality of vertical track grooves 31 circumferentially distributed along the inner wall of the groove 11 and a plurality of sliders (not shown) correspondingly distributed circumferentially on the outer surface of the lifting platform 2. The sliders and track grooves 31 form a sliding fit. In actual application, the guide mechanism is symmetrically provided between the lifting platform 2 and the two opposing side walls of the groove 11 to achieve more stable force. In this embodiment, the track grooves 31 and sliders are each provided in four groups, and the four groups of track grooves 31 and sliders are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the groove 11.

[0029] The lifting platform 2 is provided with a plurality of interconnected water storage tanks 21 inside and is equipped with a water pump and a water valve (not shown in the figure). The lifting platform 2 is driven to rise and fall by changing the buoyancy of the lifting platform 2. When the lifting platform 2 is controlled to sink, the water inlet can be controlled to open by the water valve, so that water can flow into the water storage tank 21. Under the action of gravity, the lifting platform 2 sinks, and the water valve is closed when it is in place. When it is lifted, the water in the water storage tank 21 can be discharged outward by the water pump, and the buoyancy is used to make it rise.

[0030] In order to further improve the lifting effect of the lifting platform 2 on the ship, a plurality of hydraulic rods 41 are connected around the lifting platform 2 and between the pontoon 1. In this embodiment, there are two groups of hydraulic rods 41, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides corresponding to the groove 11. Each group of hydraulic rods 41 includes two hydraulic rods 41 spaced along the length of the groove 11. The total number of hydraulic rods 41 is 4. The lifting platform 2 is driven to rise and fall by the hydraulic rods 41. The hydraulic rods 41 can be connected to the bottom bracket 42 fixed to the pontoon 1. The bottom bracket 42 is located below the pontoon 1. The lifting effect on the ship can be improved by cooperating with the buoyancy of the hydraulic rods 41 and the lifting platform 2. The distribution position of the hydraulic rods 41 refers to Figure 2 .

[0031] The above two lifting methods can be used alone or in combination. In actual application, they can be considered in combination with various aspects such as equipment procurement cost and equipment service life.

[0032] The pontoon 1 is provided with winches 71 at both ends of the corresponding groove 11. The winches 71 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the corresponding groove 11 of the pontoon 1. The winches 71 at both ends of the groove 11 are connected to the two ends of the lifting platform 2 through anchor chains. The winches 71 at both ends of the corresponding groove 11 are connected to the other end of the lifting platform 2 away from the other end through anchor chains (at Figure 2 In the shown orientation, the winch 71 on the left is connected to the right end of the lifting platform 2 through an anchor chain, and the winch 71 on the right is connected to the left end of the lifting platform 2 through an anchor chain). The two ends of the lifting platform 2 are pulled and fixed by the anchor chain of the winch 71, which can improve the anti-flowing effect of the lifting platform 2, especially when the lifting platform 2 dives underwater and is pushed by a large amount of flowing water, which can play a role of insurance. In addition, it can also protect the guide mechanism to avoid damage under the push of flowing water.

[0033] The pontoon 1 is provided with a winch 72 for towing ships. For a barge with a damaged power system or a non-motorized barge, the winch 72 can be used to drag it into the groove 11 of the pontoon 1. The winch 72 is provided at a position of the pontoon 1 corresponding to the closed end of the groove 11.

[0034] The lifting platform 2 is provided with a plurality of support blocks 5 for cooperating with the bottom of the ship for support. The top of the support block 5 has a contact surface adapted to the contour of the bottom of the ship. The setting of the support block 5 can lift and support the ship a to prevent the ship a from shaking or even tipping over.

[0035] The pontoon 1 is provided with a plurality of anchor chains 6 at one end in the corresponding length direction. The anchor chains 6 provided at one end are used for anchoring to the riverbed, lakebed or seabed. The other end in the corresponding length direction of the pontoon 1 is provided with a bridge 6 and an anchor chain 6 to achieve connection and coordination with the main wharf, thereby improving the overall wind and wave resistance of the pontoon 1 and preventing it from moving. The setting of the bridge 6 facilitates the movement of vehicles and pedestrians between the wharves.

[0036] The above embodiment is only one preferred embodiment of the present invention. Common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
