Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of berthing components technology, and in particular to a berthing component structure suitable for the jacket foundation of an offshore booster substation. Background Technology

[0002] The offshore booster substation consists of an upper module and a lower foundation. The lower foundation includes components such as an inner platform, a berthing structure, and a ladder platform. During operation and maintenance, personnel are transported by ship to the berthing structure of the jacket structure. The rubber fenders and moorings on the berthing structure ensure a relatively level surface between the ship and the berthing structure, allowing personnel to then access the offshore booster substation.

[0003] Currently, the fenders used in the berthing structure of offshore booster substation jacket foundations are mostly SA-type fenders. SA-type fenders have a saddle-shaped cross-section, requiring custom-made U-shaped steel plates and fixing steel plates for secure installation. This makes overall fabrication complex and results in a large amount of steel structure work. SA-type fenders have a hollow center, making them prone to damage and detachment after repeated impacts and compression during ship berthing, resulting in a short service life. After damage and detachment, the original fender must be cleaned and a new one purchased and installed, leading to high overall maintenance costs. Offshore installation is also dangerous and troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a berthing component structure suitable for the jacket foundation of offshore booster substations, which can solve the problem that the hollow SA-type fenders used in traditional berthing components are easily damaged and fall off.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A berthing component structure suitable for the jacket foundation of an offshore booster substation is provided. The berthing component structure is fixed to one side of the jacket foundation via a connecting pipe. The berthing component structure includes a collision-resistant circular tube, and a fender structure is connected to the outer side of the collision-resistant circular tube. The fender structure includes a rubber protective component, and the inner surface of the rubber protective component is in close contact with the side wall of the collision-resistant circular tube.

[0007] Based on the above technical solutions, the present invention may also adopt the following further technical solutions, or combine these further technical solutions:

[0008] The cross-section of the rubber protective component is semi-circular, the inner diameter of the rubber protective component matches the outer diameter of the anti-collision circular tube, and the rubber protective component is arranged in sections along the length of the anti-collision circular tube.

[0009] The side wall of the anti-collision round tube is fixedly connected with two symmetrical round tube connecting plates. The side of the rubber protective component is attached to the round tube connecting plate. A protective component connecting plate arranged parallel to its side is fixedly connected to the rubber protective component. The round tube connecting plate and the protective component connecting plate are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0010] The rubber protective component has a connecting groove on its outer side facing inward. The connecting plate of the protective component is fixed to the inner side of the connecting groove. One end of the bolt extends into the connecting groove and is fixedly connected to a corresponding nut. The outer side of the connecting groove is sealed to the rubber protective component by a plug.

[0011] The outer surface of the plug is flush with the outer surface of the rubber protective component, and the plug is made of rubber.

[0012] A ladder is provided between two adjacent anti-collision circular tubes.

[0013] A reinforcing plate is inserted inside the rubber protective component. The reinforcing plate is located close to the inner wall of the rubber protective component. The reinforcing plate is curved in an arc shape and its curvature matches that of the rubber protective component. Both sides of the reinforcing plate are fixed to the adjacent connecting plate of the protective component.

[0014] The connection between the anti-collision round tube and the round tube connecting plate forms a first included angle on the outward side, and the side of the rubber protective component opposite to the first included angle is chamfered.

[0015] A number of reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected between the anti-collision round tube and the round tube connecting plate, and the reinforcing ribs are arranged opposite to the rubber protective component.

[0016] The connection between the anti-collision round tube and the round tube connecting plate forms a second included angle on the inward side, and the side of the reinforcing rib plate opposite to the second included angle is chamfered.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: the anti-collision round tube is set on the inner side of the rubber protective component, and the two are tightly integrated into a whole, which effectively absorbs and transmits the impact energy of the ship, improves the service life of the fender structure, and reduces maintenance costs; the anti-collision round tube can be made of commercially available steel pipes, which are easier to purchase and process than customized U-shaped steel plates, thus reducing the overall project cost.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the preferred embodiments of this utility model are described below in conjunction with specific examples. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote elements with the same or similar functions throughout. However, it should be understood that the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. To better illustrate this embodiment, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product size. It is understandable for those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a berthing structure suitable for the foundation of a jacketed structure in an offshore substation. The berthing structure is fixed to one side of the jacketed structure foundation 1 via a connecting pipe 2. The berthing structure includes a collision-resistant circular pipe 3, and a fender structure 4 is connected to the outside of the collision-resistant circular pipe 3. The fender structure 4 includes a rubber protective component 41, and the inner surface of the rubber protective component 41 is in close contact with the side wall of the collision-resistant circular pipe 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the anti-collision circular tube 3 is a hollow steel pipe, and the connecting pipe 2 is also formed by connecting steel pipes; the anti-collision circular tube 3 is welded and fixed to the connecting pipe 2, and the connecting pipe 2 is welded and fixed to the jacket foundation 1; several vertical anti-collision circular tubes 3 are arranged along the transverse direction of the jacket foundation 1, and the rubber protective parts 41 on the surface of the anti-collision circular tube 3 can effectively absorb and transmit the energy generated by the ship collision, thereby reducing the impact on the main structure of the offshore platform. The anti-collision circular tube 3 and the fender structure 4 are closely integrated into an integral structure, providing a stable support point for ship berthing.

[0027] The cross-section of the rubber protective component 41 is a semi-circular ring. The inner diameter of the rubber protective component 41 matches the outer diameter of the anti-collision circular tube 3. The rubber protective component 41 is arranged in sections along the length of the anti-collision circular tube 3.

[0028] The side wall of the anti-collision round tube 3 is fixedly connected with two symmetrical round tube connecting plates 31. The side of the rubber protective part 41 is attached to the round tube connecting plate 31. The rubber protective part 41 is fixedly connected with a protective part connecting plate 42 that is parallel to its side. The round tube connecting plate 31 and the protective part connecting plate 42 are fixedly connected by bolts 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, the bolt 5 is a stainless steel bolt, and the round tube connecting plate 31 is welded to the side of the anti-collision round tube 3.

[0030] A connecting groove 43 is provided on the outer side of the rubber protective component 41. The connecting plate 42 of the protective component is fixed to the inner side of the connecting groove 43. One end of the bolt 5 extends into the connecting groove 43 and is fixedly connected with a corresponding nut. The outer side of the connecting groove 43 is sealed to the rubber protective component 41 by a plug 44, which reduces the corrosion of the connecting components by seawater and increases the overall service life.

[0031] The outer surface of the plug 44 is flush with the outer surface of the rubber protective part 41, and the plug 44 is made of rubber.

[0032] In this embodiment, since a connecting groove 43 is opened on the outside of the rubber protective component 41, the surface opening of the rubber protective component 41 can be repaired by setting a rubber plug 44. At the same time, the protective connecting plate 42 and bolt 5 in the connecting groove 43 are prevented from directly contacting seawater, thus reducing the corrosive effect of seawater and making the stress on the rubber fender more reasonable.

[0033] A ladder 6 is provided between two adjacent anti-collision round tubes 3 to provide a passage for personnel to go up and down the platform. The two sides of the ladder 6 can be fixed to the anti-collision round tubes 3 by welding steel pipes to ensure safety and reliability in use.

[0034] A reinforcing plate 45 is inserted inside the rubber protective component 41. The reinforcing plate 45 is located close to the inner wall of the rubber protective component 41. The reinforcing plate 45 is curved in an arc shape and its curvature matches the curvature of the rubber protective component 41. The two sides of the reinforcing plate 45 are respectively fixed to the adjacent protective component connecting plate 42.

[0035] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 45 is welded and fixed to the adjacent protective component connecting plate 42 on both sides.

[0036] The connection between the anti-collision round tube 3 and the round tube connecting plate 31 forms a first included angle 32 on the outward side. The side of the rubber protective part 41 opposite to the first included angle 32 is chamfered, so that the rubber protective part 41 and the anti-collision round tube 3 fit tightly and reasonably, avoiding the end being subjected to concentrated force.

[0037] Several reinforcing ribs 34 are fixedly connected between the anti-collision round tube 3 and the round tube connecting plate 31 to further enhance the reliability of the overall structure. The reinforcing ribs 34 are arranged opposite to the rubber protective component 41.

[0038] The connection between the anti-collision round tube 3 and the round tube connecting plate 31 forms a second included angle 33 on the inward side. The side of the reinforcing rib plate 34 opposite to the second included angle 33 is chamfered, which facilitates on-site welding construction, avoids stress concentration effect at sharp corners, reduces the amount of engineering work, and makes the component more optimized and reliable.

[0039] Based on the description and drawings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use the ship-mounting component structure of this utility model applicable to the jacket foundation of an offshore booster substation, and can achieve the positive effects described in this utility model.
