[0031] Figures 6 to 8A lateral sealing structure for an underwater welding channel includes a dock 100, an underwater welding channel 200, a lateral sealing structure 300, an adjusting structure, and a screw 700. The dock 100 has a dock side 110 for connecting the underwater welding channel 200. The underwater welding channel 200 mainly includes a longitudinal wall 210, a transverse wall 220, and a bottom 230. The dock side 110 is connected to the underwater welding channel 200 to form a grid-shaped sealed space with a height of h. The lateral sealing structure 300 is fixedly connected between the two. The adjusting structure is installed at both ends of the lateral sealing structure 300 for movable adjustment. The distance between the lateral sealing structure 300 and the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel is adjusted by connecting the two ends of the spiral screw 700 to the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel and the lateral sealing structure 300, and adjusting the action of the lateral sealing structure 300 and the dock side 110 to make them fit and press tightly. The lateral sealing structure 300 includes a lateral sealing structure panel 320, a lateral sealing strip 360 and a longitudinal wall sealing strip 370. The lateral sealing strip 360 and the longitudinal wall sealing strip 370 are provided on the lateral sealing structure panel 320. The lateral sealing strip 360 seals and connects to the dock side 110, and the longitudinal wall sealing strip 370 seals and connects to the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel.

[0032] Figures 7-8 The lateral sealing structure 300 is connected to the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel to form a transverse sealing structure. The lateral sealing structure 300 is connected to the side of the dock 110 to form a lateral sealing structure. A bottom sealing strip 600 is provided on the bottom 230 of the underwater welding channel and connected to the lateral sealing structure 300 to form a vertical sealing structure, thus forming a sealing structure in three directions.

[0033] like Figures 1-3The lateral sealing structure 300 is a flat box structure with length, width, and height L, a, and height respectively. The design values ​​of L, a, and h are 500mm~1000mm, 200mm~400mm, and 2m~10m respectively. Its main structure also includes a lateral sealing structure web 310, a first pressure plate 330, a second pressure plate 340, a lateral pressure plate 350, a top clamping ear plate 380, an upper fixing part 390, and a lower fixing part 391. The lateral sealing structure panel 320 and the lateral sealing structure web 310 form a flat box steel structure made of steel plate material. In this embodiment, Q235 material is selected. The first pressure plate 330 and the second pressure plate 340 seal the longitudinal wall sealing strip 3. The 70 is pressed onto the side sealing structure panel 320. The side pressure plate 350 fixes the side sealing strip 360 onto the side sealing structure panel 320. The upper fixing part 390 and the lower fixing part 391 are respectively fixed at the upper and lower ends of the side sealing structure 300. At least three clamping ear plates 380 are provided between the upper fixing part 390 and the lower fixing part 391. In this embodiment, the number of clamping ear plates 380 is set to 3, and the number of screw rods 700 is also set to 3. That is, the number and position of clamping ear plates 380 correspond to the screw rods 700. The upper fixing part 390 and the lower fixing part 391 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the side sealing structure 300.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 The longitudinal sealing strip 370 and the lateral sealing strip 360 combine to form a wave-shaped and rectangular hybrid sealing structure that provides both lateral and transverse sealing. The longitudinal sealing strip 370 and the lateral sealing strip 360 are lateral and transverse sealing strips, respectively. The longitudinal sealing strip 370 connects to and seals the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel, while the lateral sealing strip 360 connects to and seals the dock side 110 structure. The longitudinal sealing strip 370 is designed with a double-wave structure, with a width b of 100–300 mm, a wave height of approximately 100 mm, and a thickness of approximately 10–30 mm, ensuring sufficient lateral compression stroke while forming two sealing structures. The longitudinal sealing strip 370 is fixed using a first pressure plate 330 and a second pressure plate 340. The lateral sealing strip 360 is rectangular, with a length and width of 50–150 mm, and is fixed using a lateral pressure plate 350. The main material of the longitudinal wall sealing strip 370 and the lateral sealing strip 360 is sealing rubber. The main performance indicators of the sealing rubber are: tensile strength ≥150Kg / cm2; good resilience, good tear resistance, and compression amount of 20~30mm when subjected to pressure of 1.5t / m.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, the clamping lug 380 includes a lug 381, a bolt 382, ​​and a connecting seat plate 383. The lug 381 and the connecting seat plate 383 are an integral structure. The bolt 382 is installed in the bolt hole of the connecting seat plate 383. The connecting seat plate 383 is welded to the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel and the lateral sealing structure 300, respectively. Then, the two ends of the screw rod 700 are connected to each other. In this way, the lateral sealing structure 300 can be adjusted to be tightly attached to the side 110 of the dock using the screw rod 700.

[0036] Preferably, the screw 700 uses a 10-20 ton screw shackle with a stroke of not less than 100 mm to ensure sufficient adjustment stroke; the height spacing of the screw 700 is h1, h2, and h3 respectively. One end of each screw 700 is fixedly connected to the underwater welding channel 200, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side sealing structure 300 through the clamping lug 380. Therefore, by adjusting the screw 700, the position of the side sealing structure 300 can be adjusted laterally.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment structure includes a top adjustment structure 400 and a bottom adjustment structure 500. Both the top adjustment structure 400 and the bottom adjustment structure 500 adopt screw adjustment structure and are respectively installed on the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel through the upper fixing part 390 and the lower fixing part 391. By using the adjustment structure, the lateral sealing structure 300 and the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel can be pressed together.

[0038] Specifically, the top adjustment structure 400 includes a top reinforcing plate 410, a top plate 420, a top side plate 430, and a top adjusting screw 440. The top reinforcing plate 410, top plate 420, and top side plate 430 are respectively fixedly welded to the upper end of the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel. Then, the gap between the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel and the lateral sealing structure 300 is adjusted by the adjusting screw 440. Similarly, the bottom adjustment structure 500 includes a bottom reinforcing plate 510, a bottom plate 520, a bottom side plate 530, and a bottom adjusting screw 540. 40. The bottom reinforcing plate 510, bottom plate 520, and bottom side plate 530 are welded and fixed to the lower end of the underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210. The bottom sealing strip 600 is simultaneously arranged on the bottom adjustment structure 500. Then, the gap between the underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210 and the side sealing structure 300 is adjusted by operating the bottom adjusting screw 540. That is, by using the adjustment structure to press the side sealing structure 300 against the underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210 and the bottom 230 of the underwater welding channel, the lateral sealing effect and the bottom sealing effect are achieved.

[0039] Preferably, the length and width h4 of the bottom sealing strip 600 are 50-150mm respectively, so as to be sufficient to fill the gap at the bottom 230 of the underwater welding channel.

[0040] The specific working principle is as follows: The dock side 110 of the floating body (dock) is connected to the underwater welding channel 200 as a whole, and the two are sealed by the lateral sealing structure 300. Specifically, the underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210, underwater welding channel transverse wall 220, underwater welding channel bottom 230 and the dock side 110 are arranged with the dock side 110 through the lateral sealing structure 300 to form a grid-shaped structure, which together with the dock side 110 forms an underwater sealed construction space. The length and width of this underwater sealed construction space are y1 and y2 respectively, both with a design value greater than 2m, and the depth h is 10m.

[0041] The lateral sealing structure 300 is connected to the underwater welding channel 200 to form a transverse sealing structure. The lateral sealing structure 300 is connected to the dock side 110 to achieve lateral sealing. The bottom 230 of the underwater welding channel is provided with a bottom sealing strip 600 connected to the lateral sealing structure 300 to form a vertical sealing structure, thereby forming a three-way seal.

[0042] The underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210 and the lateral sealing structure 300 are adjusted by a screw rod 700. One end of the screw rod 700 is fixedly connected to the underwater welding channel longitudinal wall 210, and the other end is fixedly connected to the lateral sealing structure 300 through a clamping lug 380. By adjusting the screws, the lateral sealing structure 300 is pressed tightly against the dock side 110 structure, and a firm lateral seal is achieved.

[0043] Furthermore, the top adjustment structure 400 and the bottom adjustment structure 500 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the sealing structure 300, correspondingly connecting the upper fixing part 390 and the lower fixing part 391. Specifically, the top adjustment structure 400 is fixedly welded to the upper end of the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel, and the sealing gap between the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel and the side sealing structure 300 is adjusted by operating the top adjustment screw 440 to achieve an effective sealing effect; the bottom adjustment structure 500 is fixedly welded to the lower end of the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel, and the bottom sealing strip 600 is simultaneously arranged on the bottom adjustment structure 500, and is pressed tightly by the bottom adjustment screw 540, thereby sealing the underwater welding channel 200 with the bottom of the dock side 110.

[0044] By adjusting the structure, the gap between the lateral sealing structure 300 and the longitudinal wall 210 of the underwater welding channel can be varied, achieving the effects of lateral sealing and bottom sealing.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
