Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ocean engineering, in particular to a light-weight ocean platform bottom pry structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ocean platforms are widely used in oil and gas development, ocean observation, offshore wind power projects, and play a core role. Ocean platforms, including drilling platforms, production platforms, and FPSO, are the foundation of large integrated equipment construction, responsible for oil and gas exploration, exploitation, processing, and storage.

[0003] The equipment on the ocean platform is usually designed with a pry structure. This structure is composed of equipment, pipelines, instrument valves, and ladder platforms, which are collectively located on the bottom pry structure. These pry blocks are prefabricated on land, with flange connection ports reserved for overall transportation and hoisting. After reaching the designated location, the equipment and pipelines are connected according to the process flow. The advantage of pry blocks is that they facilitate modular design, which not only shortens the construction and design period and improves construction efficiency, but also reduces on-site workload due to prefabrication and integration, thereby reducing construction costs. In addition, prefabrication in a factory environment improves safety and reduces the risk of on-site construction. Modular design also allows for flexible adjustment and expansion as needed.

[0004] However, ocean platforms also have some obvious disadvantages. Due to the characteristics of the platform itself, the size is limited, and the weight and height of the pry block are restricted during basic design. In order to meet the strength and rigidity requirements for hoisting, the use of large section sizes for the bottom pry increases the overall weight of the pry block, and also increases the material and labor costs for the manufacturer. In some cases, it may exceed the weight limit of the basic design, making it impossible to meet the requirements.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of ocean platform bottom pry structure that can reduce the weight of the ocean platform bottom pry structure while meeting functional requirements. This structure will help solve the challenges faced by existing ocean platforms and improve their performance and economic benefits. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] Due to the particularity of the marine platform application scene, there are strict requirements for the specifications of the marine platform. For the marine platform skid structure, a lying tank is arranged on the marine platform skid structure, and a large amount of mixture of waste oil and seawater will be stored in the lying tank during offshore operation. Therefore, the stability and bearing capacity of the marine platform skid structure are greatly required. If the marine platform skid structure is assembled by using large sections, due to the large overall size and weight of the large sections, the weight of the marine platform skid structure is increased, which not only has high manufacturing cost and large personnel assembly difficulty, but also is difficult to balance the requirements for the strength and height of the marine platform skid structure under the limitation of offshore operation.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , it is a pry block 12 composed of a pattern plate as a bottom plate in the present application, and a square structure bottom plate 1 is obtained by laying and assembling the pry block 12. The pattern plate used is 7.96m*4m, and other small angle steels, I-beams and the like are used in cooperation. The average weight of the pry block 12 per meter is 55.01kg. Overflow holes 11 are arranged on the side of the structure bottom plate 1.

[0036] Figure 1 The structure bottom plate 1 has the problem of poor bearing capacity due to the use of small sections for assembly. Therefore, auxiliary support frames 2 are arranged on the symmetrical two sides of the structure bottom plate 1, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0037] The auxiliary support frame 2 includes a bottom rod 21, a top rod 22 and a support rod for connecting the bottom rod 21 and the top rod 22, and a connection mode is specifically shown in Figure 2 . The support rod includes a straight pull rod 23 and an inclined pull rod 24. First, the bottom rod 21 and the top rod 22 are connected and fixed by using the straight pull rod 23. Then, other end points are connected in an inclined angle connection mode by using the inclined pull rod 24 and are welded and fixed, so as to finally form a trapezoidal truss mechanism.

[0038] In order to further ensure the stress stability of the auxiliary support frame 2, two straight pull rods 23 are arranged. The fixed points of the two straight pull rods 23 on the bottom rod 21 divide the bottom rod 21 into three sections, i.e., an a section 25, a b section 26 and a c section 27. The distance from one end of the bottom rod 21 to the fixed point of the nearest straight pull rod 23 is the a section 25. The distance from the farther straight pull rod to the other end is the c section 27. The distance between the two straight pull rods is the b section 26. The length ratio of the a section 25, the b section 26 and the c section 27 on the bottom rod 21 is 2:1:2. The fixed points of the two straight pull rods 23 correspondingly divide the top rod 22 into three sections, i.e., an a section 25, a b section 26 and a c section 27. The length ratio of the a section 25, the b section 26 and the c section 27 on the top rod 22 is 1:1:1.

[0039] In the above structure, other end points are connected in a triangular structure by using the inclined pull rod 24 to connect at an inclined angle, thereby improving the overall stability of the auxiliary support frame 2, and finally obtaining an auxiliary support frame 2 with an isosceles trapezoidal truss mechanism.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 two horizontal tanks 3 are fixed at the round hole positions on the structure bottom plate 1, and then Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the bottom of the horizontal tank 3 is provided with a saddle 31, and the saddle 31 includes a bottom plate 311 and a web plate 312.

[0041] Specifically, according to the above division of the three sections a, b, and c of the bottom rod 21, the structure bottom plate 1 can also be divided into three regions. The round holes connected with the saddle 31 of the horizontal tank 3 are arranged in the a section and the c section regions of the structure bottom plate. The saddle bottom plates 31 of the two horizontal tanks are respectively fixed on the round holes in the a section 25 and the c section 27 regions of the structure bottom plate 1. The web plates 312 on both sides of the saddle 31 are respectively welded and fixed with the inclined pull rods 24 located in the region.

[0042] In combination with Figure 1 a connecting beam 13 is arranged on the back of the structure bottom plate at the position where the horizontal tank is installed, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the structure bottom plate 1 for the horizontal tank. The weight of a single connecting beam is 1671.6 kg.

[0043] The total weight of the heavy ocean platform bottom pry structure obtained by finally combining is 5 tons. In order to reduce the weight of the ocean platform bottom pry structure, the ocean platform bottom pry structure is usually designed as a planar structure, and it is difficult to design the ocean platform bottom pry structure with a certain space structure as provided in the present application. Compared with the planar structure, the device of the present application performs better in stability and safety.

[0044] If a planar structure plate with a load-bearing capacity comparable to that of the light-weight ocean bottom pry structure is obtained by splicing large sections, at least 10 tons of large steel sections are required for splicing. In comparison, the light-weight ocean platform bottom pry structure obtained by using the technical solution of the present application has a reduced overall weight, and at least 50% of the steel raw materials can be saved.

[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
