Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of jacket transport, in particular to a novel jacket transport tool. Background Art
[0002] The ocean boasts abundant wind resources. Fully utilizing them for power generation can provide some electricity to cities, alleviating power supply pressure. Offshore wind power projects are complex and challenging to construct. Jacket foundations are one of the most common structures for offshore wind turbines. They are simple, based on mature technology, offer high overall rigidity, and are less susceptible to environmental loads such as waves and currents. They are widely applicable to offshore wind power development and construction, even for large turbines and in deepwater areas.
[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN109137867B discloses a process for constructing a jacket in sections. This invention design places the jacket horizontally on a transition section folding frame during transport, utilizing multiple fixed clip structures at the jacket's bottom to provide support. However, in actual operation, jacket placement typically prioritizes support at the front and rear ends, while positioning of the support components below the jacket's center often deviates. This deviation prevents a close fit between the jacket's center and the bottom support fixture, preventing adequate support for the jacket and impacting the stability of the support system.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the present invention proposes a novel jacket transport tooling, which solves the problem in the prior art that the jacket transport tooling cannot fit tightly with the middle part of the jacket, thereby improving the support stability of the jacket transport tooling.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A novel jacket transport tool comprises a base on which a group of symmetrical support components are arranged. The support components comprise a top support member, a middle support member, a pile leg support member and a pile leg limit member which are sequentially arranged on the base.
[0007] The middle support member includes a column, a bottom plate, a top plate and a middle support plate; the column is arranged on the top of the bottom plate, and a plurality of first springs are fixedly connected to the upper end of the column, and the upper end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the top plate, and the middle support plate is arranged on the upper end of the top plate.
[0008] The side walls of the columns are hinged with multiple support rods, and the bottom of the top plate is provided with multiple sliding rods corresponding to the support rods. The end of the support rod away from the column is hinged with a slider, and the slider is slidably set on the sliding rod; the two ends of the sliding rod are respectively connected to the first fixed block and the second fixed block, and the upper ends of the first fixed block and the second fixed block are fixedly connected to the top plate; a second spring is sleeved on the sliding rod, and the two ends of the second spring are respectively fixedly connected to the first fixed block and the slider.
[0009] Furthermore, an annular wall is provided on the periphery of the upper end of the column, a connecting groove is provided on the lower part of the outer wall of the annular wall, a connecting block is slidably provided in the connecting groove, and the end of the connecting block away from the annular wall is fixedly connected to the second fixed block.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of the support rods is no less than 3.
[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of lifting ears are provided on the base, and the lifting ears are distributed on both sides of the supporting assembly.
[0012] Furthermore, the top support member includes a first support frame and a second support frame arranged in sequence, and the height of the first support frame is higher than the second support frame; the first support frame and the second support frame both include a bottom support and a top support plate arranged on the bottom support; limit blocks are provided on both sides of the top of the bottom support, and a guide rod and a bidirectional screw rod are provided between the two limit blocks, and the two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the limit blocks, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod are rotatably connected to the limit blocks, and one end of the bidirectional screw rod passes through the limit block and is fixedly connected to a handle; arc-shaped splints are provided on both sides of the top support plate, the arc-shaped splint is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the arc-shaped splint is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod.
[0013] Furthermore, a first threaded hole is formed at the upper end of the arc-shaped clamping plate, an adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole, and a lower end of the adjusting bolt is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped piece.
[0014] Furthermore, the pile leg support member includes two parallel bottom frames, the bottom frames are provided with pile leg placement frames, and a straight rod is fixedly connected between the two bottom frames.
[0015] Furthermore, the pile leg limiter includes a sliding seat and a square socket member slidably connected to the sliding seat, and the longitudinal section of the sliding seat is in the shape of an "I" character; a vertical stop block and an oblique support block are provided on the square socket member, and the upper end of the oblique support block is fixedly connected to the stop block; a second threaded hole begins to be provided on the side surface of the square socket member, and a fastening bolt is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0017] 1. The utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. By arranging the top support member, the middle support member and the leg support member to support the upper section, the middle section and the legs of the jacket respectively, the jacket is placed in a horizontal state, thereby enhancing the overall placement stability of the jacket and making the jacket suitable for jacket transportation in deep sea areas.
[0018] 2. By setting a middle support member, the pressure generated by the conductor frame can be effectively dispersed, providing a more uniform supporting force for the conductor frame; by setting a first spring between the column and the top plate of the middle support member, the height adjustability of the middle support member is achieved. When the conductor frame is placed on the middle support member, the first spring will be compressed downward so that the middle support plate can be in close contact with the lower end surface of the conductor frame, and the restoring force of the first spring will act on the top plate, so that the top plate will exert an upward supporting force on the middle section of the conductor frame, thereby effectively supporting the conductor frame and preventing it from deforming; by setting a support rod, when the conductor frame compresses the first spring downward, the angle between the two support rods gradually increases, the slider moves in the direction away from the column, and then compresses the second spring, and the restoring force of the second spring acts on the support rod, so that the support rod generates an upward supporting force, further improving the load capacity of the top plate; at the same time, through the joint action of multiple support rods, the left and right swinging of the top plate is effectively avoided, thereby improving the support stability of the conductor frame.
[0019] 3. By setting up lifting ears for connecting with lifting equipment, the entire conductor frame transport tooling and conductor frame are lifted; by setting up top support members, the first support frame and the second support frame of different heights are utilized to ensure that the two are tightly fitted with the lower end surface of the conductor frame, thereby providing effective support for the upper section of the conductor frame; by setting up pile leg support members for the placement of the pile legs, the two bottom frames are utilized to provide sufficient vertical bearing capacity for the pile legs; by setting up pile leg limiters, the ends of the pile legs are limited. When the conductor frame is placed on the support assembly, the square socket is slid until the block abuts the pile leg, and then the fastening bolts are tightened to fix the square socket on the slide seat, which can prevent the conductor frame from slipping and ensure the placement stability of the conductor frame.

[0027] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a novel jacket transport tool, comprising a base 1, on which is disposed a symmetrical support assembly comprising a top support member, a middle support member 3, leg supports 4, and leg stoppers 5, sequentially arranged on the base 1. The top support member, middle support member 3, and leg supports 4 effectively support the upper and middle sections of the jacket, as well as the legs, respectively, thereby enhancing the overall placement stability of the jacket and facilitating its transport. The base 1 is also provided with a plurality of lifting lugs 6, located on both sides of the support assembly, for connection to lifting equipment to lift the jacket transport tool and the jacket.
[0029] The central support member 3 includes a column 31, a bottom plate 32, a top plate 33, and a central support plate 34. The column 31 is disposed on top of the bottom plate 32. A plurality of first springs 7 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the column 31. The upper ends of the first springs 7 are fixedly connected to the top plate 33. The central support plate 34 is disposed on the upper end of the top plate 33. When the central support member 3 is in a natural, unstressed state, the height of the central support member 3 is slightly higher than the height of the jacket at the central support member 3 when the jacket is installed. When the jacket is placed on the central support member 3, the first springs 7 are compressed downward, allowing the central support plate 34 to closely contact the lower end surface of the jacket, thereby achieving height adjustability of the central support member 3. The restoring force of the first springs 7 exerts an upward supporting force on the top plate 33, providing excellent support for the jacket and improving the support stability of the transport tooling.
[0030] The side walls of the upright posts 31 are hinged with a plurality of support rods 35. The bottom of the top plate 33 is provided with a plurality of sliding rods 36 corresponding to the support rods 35. The end of the support rod 35 away from the upright posts 31 is hinged with a slider 37, which is slidably mounted on the sliding rod 36. The two ends of the sliding rod 36 are respectively connected to a first fixed block 38 and a second fixed block 39, the upper ends of which are fixedly connected to the top plate 33. A second spring 8 is sleeved on the sliding rod 36, the two ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the first fixed block 38 and the slider 37. When the catheter frame compresses the first spring 7 downward, the angle between the two support rods 35 gradually increases, the slider 37 moves away from the upright posts 31, and thus compresses the second spring 8. The restoring force of the second spring 8 acts on the support rod 35, causing the support rod 35 to generate an upward supporting force, thereby increasing the load capacity of the top plate 33.
[0031] An annular wall 311 is provided around the upper end of the column 31. A connecting groove 312 is defined at the lower portion of the outer sidewall of the annular wall 311. A connecting block 313 is slidably disposed within the connecting groove 312. The end of the connecting block 313, which is remote from the annular wall 311, is fixedly connected to the second fixing block 39. The cooperation between the connecting groove 312 and the connecting block 313 limits the position of the top plate 33, ensuring that the top plate 33 can only slide in the vertical direction and preventing horizontal swaying, thereby further enhancing the stability of the top plate 33.
[0032] In this specific embodiment, the number of the support rods is not less than 3. The number of the support rods is limited in order to ensure that the support rods can provide stable support for the top plate 33.
[0033] In this specific embodiment, the top support member includes a first support frame 21 and a second support frame 22 arranged in sequence, and the height of the first support frame 21 is higher than the second support frame 22; the first support frame 21 and the second support frame 22 both include a bottom support 23 and a top support plate 24 arranged on the bottom support 23; limit blocks 25 are provided on both sides of the top of the bottom support 23, and a guide rod 26 and a bidirectional screw rod 27 are provided between the two limit blocks 25, and the two ends of the guide rod 26 are fixedly connected to the limit block 25, and the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod 27 are rotatably connected to the limit block 25, and one end of the bidirectional screw rod 27 passes through the limit block 25 and is fixedly connected to a handle 28; arc-shaped splints 29 are provided on both sides of the top support plate 24, and the arc-shaped splint 29 is slidably connected to the guide rod 26, and the arc-shaped splint 29 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod 27. By setting up a group of arc-shaped clamping plates 29, after the catheter rack is placed on the support assembly, the bidirectional screw rod 27 is driven to rotate by rotating the handle 28, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 29 move in opposite directions to clamp the two sides of the catheter rack. This can be suitable for catheter racks of different sizes and effectively fixes the catheter rack, thereby avoiding the risk of the catheter rack rolling over.
[0034] In this specific embodiment, a first threaded hole (not shown) is defined at the upper end of the arc-shaped clamping plate 29. An adjusting bolt 291 is threadedly connected to the inner end of the first threaded hole. The lower end of the adjusting bolt 291 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped piece 292. Rotating the adjusting bolt 291 forces the arc-shaped piece 292 into contact with the upper end surface of the jacket, preventing the jacket from jolting and shaking during installation and transportation, thereby further improving the jacket's installation stability.
[0035] In this embodiment, the leg support 4 includes two parallel bottom frames 41, on which a leg support frame 42 is provided, and a straight rod 43 is fixedly connected between the two bottom frames 41. The leg support 4 is used to support the leg.
[0036] In this specific embodiment, the pile leg limiter 5 includes a slide 51 and a square sleeve 52 that slides onto the slide 51. The slide 51 has an I-shaped longitudinal section and is positioned along the direction of the catheter supported by the support assembly. The square sleeve 52 is provided with a vertical stop 53 and an inclined support block 54, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the stop 53. A second threaded hole 55 is formed on the side of the square sleeve 52, and a fastening bolt 56 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 55. When the jacket is placed on the support assembly, the square sleeve 52 is slid until the stop 53 abuts the pile leg, and the fastening bolt 56 is then tightened to secure the square sleeve 52 to the slide 51. This acts as a limiter for the end of the pile leg, preventing the jacket from sliding and ensuring its placement stability.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] First, the jacket (not shown in the figure, but those skilled in the art will understand the embodiment of placing the jacket on the present jacket transport fixture) is integrally mounted on the support assembly, ensuring that the upper section, middle section, and legs of the jacket are respectively in contact with the top support member, middle support member 3, and leg support member 4. Since the top of the middle support is slightly higher than the height of the jacket at that location when it is not under stress, the jacket exerts downward pressure on the middle support member 3, compressing the first spring 7. Simultaneously, the slider 37 moves away from the column 31, compressing the second spring 8. Due to the certain restoring force of the spring, the middle support exerts an upward supporting force on the jacket, effectively dissipating the pressure exerted by the jacket on the support assembly and improving the support stability of the jacket. After the jacket is placed, the square socket 52 is slid until the stopper 53 abuts the leg, and then the fastening bolts 56 are tightened to secure the square socket 52 to the slide 51 to prevent the jacket from slipping. Finally, the transport fixture and jacket are hoisted onto the transport vehicle or transport vessel via the lifting lug 6.
[0039] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to the form and details of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims, and all of these changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
