Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of floating equipment, and more specifically, relates to a pontoon structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of marine engineering, pontoon boats, as important floating platforms, are widely used in various aspects such as offshore operations, scientific research, and coastal landscaping. Their initial design purpose is to utilize the buoyancy characteristics of the pontoon boats to achieve stable and flexible floating, in order to cope with the complex and ever-changing marine environment. However, in practical applications, the method of fixing the pontoon boats has become one of the key factors affecting their performance and stability.
[0003] Traditional methods of securing floating pontoons have two main drawbacks. Firstly, overly tight methods, such as using heavy anchor chains or high-strength ropes to firmly fix the pontoons to the seabed or nearby structures, while preventing them from being swept away by strong winds and waves to some extent, severely limit their buoyancy, making it difficult for them to move naturally horizontally with the waves. This not only affects the pontoons' basic function as floating platforms but may also lead to structural damage due to long-term concentrated stress at the anchor points. Secondly, if the securing method is not secure enough, the pontoons are highly susceptible to displacement or even complete sweep away under severe sea conditions such as strong storm surges and large waves. This not only results in damage to the pontoons themselves but may also pose a potential threat to navigation safety, the ecological environment, and even marine engineering facilities in the surrounding waters.

[0042] The present application will be described in further detail below with the specific embodiments combined with the drawings.
[0043] The traditional floating box is fixed in the following ways. On the one hand, if a too tight fixing method is used, such as heavy anchor chains or high-strength ropes are used to firmly fix the floating box to the seabed or nearby structures, although the floating box can be prevented from being washed away by strong winds and huge waves to a certain extent, the floating ability of the floating box is greatly limited, so that the floating box is difficult to move horizontally naturally with the sea waves, which not only affects the basic function of the floating box as a floating platform, but also may cause structural damage due to long-term bearing of concentrated stress at the fixing point. On the other hand, if the fixing method is not firm enough, the floating box is easily displaced or even completely washed away when encountering severe sea conditions, such as strong wind and storm surges, large wave impact and other extreme weather conditions, which not only causes loss of the floating box itself, but also may pose a potential threat to the navigation safety, ecological environment and marine engineering facilities in the surrounding sea area. To provide a better floating box fixing method:
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 、 2 and 4, the application provides a floating box structure, which comprises a box body 1 and a limiting pile 3.
[0045] The box body 1 is the main part of the floating box structure, and the box body 1 has a cavity 11 inside. The cavity not only provides necessary buoyancy support for the entire structure, so that the floating box can float freely on the water surface, but also has flexible storage function under the premise of sufficient safety margin of buoyancy, which can load equipment, materials or other necessary items as needed, greatly improving the practicality and multifunctionality of the floating box. In order to realize the flexible floating of the box body 1 in the vertical direction under the influence of sea wave fluctuation, a guide ring 2 is connected to the box body 1, the guide ring 2 is sleeved on the limiting pile 3, and the guide ring 2 and the limiting pile 3 are slidably connected, so that the box body 1 can float up and down along the axis direction of the limiting pile 3 under the action of sea wave fluctuation, avoiding the submersion of the box body 1, and effectively buffering the external impact, ensuring the safety of the floating box and the loaded goods.
[0046] The limiting pile 3 is used to limit the horizontal movement of the box body 1, so as to prevent the box body 1 from being washed away by the sea waves. The limiting pile 3 extends in the vertical direction, and the bottom is anchored and inserted into the stratum, so as to ensure that it can effectively resist the impact force of the sea waves and the traction force generated during the floating of the box body 1, and provide solid and reliable support for the floating box.
[0047] As shown in Figure 5 , in one embodiment of the application, a pulley is further arranged on the inner side of the guide ring 2 to reduce the friction with the limiting pile 3, so that the guide ring 2 can float up and down more flexibly with the box body 1 under the influence of sea wave fluctuation.
[0048] As shown in Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment of this application, the enclosure 1 includes a concrete shell 15 and a steel frame 12. The concrete shell 15 serves as the main frame, possessing good load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance. The enclosure 1 specifically includes a bottom plate 13 and side plates 14, which are integrally formed. This not only enhances the overall structural strength of the enclosure 1 but also effectively prevents water seepage caused by improper joint treatment, ensuring the long-term stability of the enclosure 1 in harsh environments. The bottom plate 13 serves as the bottom support surface of the enclosure, while the side plates 14 extend vertically along the edge of the bottom plate, forming the enclosed concrete shell 15 structure. To further enhance the structural safety and load-bearing capacity of the enclosure 1, the steel frame 12 is placed inside the concrete shell 15. The steel frame 12 is made of high-strength steel, and diagonal bracing is used for reinforcement at the joints of the steel frame 12.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the concrete shell 15 is made of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Compared with ordinary concrete, high performance concrete has extremely high durability and mechanical properties. UHPC is considered to be the most durable engineering material currently available. Appropriately reinforced UHPC has mechanical properties close to those of steel structures. At the same time, UHPC has excellent impermeability, wear resistance, and explosion resistance, thereby greatly improving the structural strength and service life of the shell 1.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the pontoon structure further includes a pre-embedded connector 6. One end of the pre-embedded connector 6 is embedded in the concrete shell 15, and the other end is connected to the steel frame 12. The pre-embedded connector 6 is used to improve the connection stability between the concrete shell 15 and the steel frame 12 or the guide ring 2.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the pre-embedded connector 6 can specifically be a π-shaped pre-embedded connector. The π-shaped pre-embedded connector includes a flat plate portion 61 and an anchor hook portion 62. The hook end of the anchor hook portion 62 is pre-embedded in the concrete shell 15, serving to anchor the concrete shell 15. The other end of the anchor hook portion 62 is connected to the flat plate portion 61. Multiple anchor hook portions 62 can be connected to the flat plate portion 61; the more anchor hook portions 62 there are, the more stable the anchoring of the pre-embedded connector 6 to the anchored concrete shell 15. The flat plate portion 61 is connected to the steel frame 12 or the guide ring 2 by welding or other methods.
[0052] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figs. 1-4, in an embodiment of the present application, the box 1 further comprises a wave-preventing vertical plate 4. The wave-preventing vertical plate 4 is located at the upper edge of the side vertical plate 14 and surrounds the circumference of the concrete shell 15. The purpose of adding the wave-preventing vertical plate 4 is to increase the vertical height of the box 1, thereby effectively increasing the distance between the top surface of the box 1 and the water surface. This increases the difficulty of sea waves directly splashing into the box 1, thereby protecting the internal structure of the box and the safety of the stored items.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the wave-preventing vertical plate 4 is a transparent plate, which can be a tempered glass plate or an acrylic plate, etc. These materials not only have excellent transparency and optical properties, but also can minimize the obstruction of the marine landscape. At the same time, they also have good impact resistance, weather resistance and anti-aging ability, ensuring normal use in long-term marine environment.
[0054] As shown in Figs. 1-4, Figure 1 , 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the box 1 further comprises a cover plate 5. The cover plate 5 is arranged on the upper edge opening of the side vertical plate 14, and the cover plate 5 is used to prevent seawater from directly pouring into the interior of the box 1 through the upper edge opening of the side vertical plate 14.
[0055] As shown in Figs. 1-4, Figure 1 , 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the number of limit piles 3 can be multiple. Each limit pile 3 is located at one or more positions in front, back, left and right of the box 1, so as to effectively cope with the complex and changeable sea wave impact in the marine environment. Through the physical blocking effect of the limit pile 3, the freedom of movement of the box 1 in the horizontal direction is limited. No matter how the sea wave tries to push the box 1 to shift in any direction, it will be blocked by the limit pile 3, thereby ensuring that the box 1 can be stably docked at the specified position and only float up and down with the fluctuation of the sea wave, without overall horizontal displacement or being washed away from the original position by the sea wave.
[0056] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
