TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of offshore oil engineering technology, especially to a detachable anti-ice cone. BACKGROUND
[0002] Bohai oilfield is an important crude oil production area in China, but the Bohai Bay will be covered with sea ice in winter, especially the Liaodong Bay sea area ice condition is more serious, which seriously affects the normal operation and safety production of jacket platforms. In order to effectively control the damage of sea ice to the jacket, considering the characteristics that the bending strength of natural sea ice is far less than the extrusion strength, the anti-ice cone structure composed of positive and inverted cone combination is usually installed at the tidal difference section of the jacket main leg, which effectively reduces the ice load by guiding the ice to be damaged by bending in front of the cone structure instead of extrusion in front of the vertical structure.
[0003] At present, the anti-ice cone is widely used in Bohai ice area platform as an effective anti-ice measure, however, the anti-ice cone is directly welded on the jacket main leg during the construction of the jacket on land, and forms a whole with the jacket structure. The fixed anti-ice cone will affect the coverage capacity of the drilling ship. When the drilling ship approaches the platform, it needs to maintain a certain safety distance from the outermost edge of the platform to meet the demand of safe positioning. Since the diameter of the anti-ice cone body structure is large, the longitudinal coverage range of the cantilever beam of the drilling ship is reduced. Replacing a larger coverage capacity drilling ship or repositioning the drilling ship will greatly increase the drilling cost. Therefore, in order to reduce the influence of the anti-ice cone structure on the positioning of the drilling ship, a detachable anti-ice cone needs to be developed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0004] The utility model discloses to solve the problem that the existing anti-ice cone and other marine engineering structures (such as drilling ship) interfere with each other, and provides a detachable anti-ice cone. The utility model makes the anti-ice cone on the outside of the jacket main leg not affect the positioning of the drilling ship, ensures that the drilling ship can cover all well slots once positioned, effectively increases the coverage range of the drilling ship, reduces the selection ability limitation of the drilling ship, and reduces the oilfield development cost.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present patent application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0026] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a detachable anti-icing cone comprises two parts: a fixed cone 2 and a movable cone 3. The fixed cone 2 is located inside the main leg 4 of the duct frame, and the movable cone 3 is located outside the main leg 4 of the duct frame. The interface between the two is arranged longitudinally. Specifically, the fixed cone 2 surrounds the main leg 4 of the duct frame and is welded to it; the movable cone 3 surrounds the main leg 4 of the duct frame. The joint between the fixed cone 2 and the movable cone 3 is provided with a side sealing plate 11 and a mating plate 9, and they are connected by fastening bolts 16.
[0027] The fixed cone 2 includes an upper shell 5, a lower shell 1, reinforcing ribs 13, reinforcing support plates 14, side sealing plates 11, horizontal circular tube rings 6, vertical circular tube rings 7, and a mating plate 9. The bottom edges of the upper shell 5 and the lower shell 1 are connected by the horizontal circular tube rings 6 to form a shell that wraps around the main leg 4 of the guide frame. Side sealing plates 11 are provided on the inner side of both end faces of the shell, and mating plates 9 are provided on the outer side of both end faces of the shell. Specifically, the shell, side sealing plates 11, and mating plates 9 of the fixed cone 2 are welded together at the vertical circular tube rings 7.
[0028] The shell contains a reinforcing support plate 14 and several reinforcing ribs 13. The reinforcing ribs 13 are vertically arranged inside the shell, with their outer sides welded to the shell and their inner sides directly welded to the main legs 4. The reinforcing ribs 13 are evenly spaced within the shell. The reinforcing support plate 14 is horizontally arranged inside the shell, located at the junction of the upper shell 5 and the lower shell 1. The outer side of the reinforcing support plate 14 is connected to the horizontal circular tube ring 6, and its inner side is directly welded to the main legs 4. The reinforcing support plate 14 divides the fixed cone 2 into two independent watertight chambers. The reinforcing support plate 14 and reinforcing ribs 13 of this application are used to improve the strength and stability of the anti-ice cone.
[0029] The movable cone body 3 comprises an upper shell 5, a lower shell 1, a reinforcing rib plate 13, a reinforcing support plate 14, a side sealing plate 11, an outer sealing plate 12, a horizontal circular pipe ring 6 and an abutting plate 9. The bottom edges of the upper shell 5 and the lower shell 1 are connected by the horizontal circular pipe ring 6 to form a shell, and an outer sealing plate 12 is further arranged outside the jacket leg 4. The outer sealing plate 12 is a semicircular pipe structure and is attached to the jacket leg 4. A side sealing plate 11 is arranged between the end face of the shell and the outer sealing plate 12, and the outer sealing plate 12, the shell and the side sealing plate 11 are connected into an integral whole and wrapped around the jacket leg 4. An abutting plate 9 is arranged outside the end face of the shell.
[0030] A reinforcing support plate 14 and a plurality of reinforcing rib plates 13 are also arranged in the shell of the movable cone body 3. The reinforcing rib plates 13 are vertically arranged in the shell, welded to the shell outside and welded to the outer sealing plate 12 inside, and are arranged at equal intervals in the shell. The reinforcing support plate 14 is horizontally arranged in the shell and located at the joint of the upper shell 5 and the lower shell 1. The reinforcing support plate 14 is connected to the horizontal circular pipe ring 6 outside and welded to the outer sealing plate 12 inside, and separates the fixed cone body 2 into two independent water-tight chambers. The reinforcing support plate 14 and the reinforcing rib plate 13 are used to improve the strength and stability of the anti-ice cone.
[0031] After the fixed cone body 2 and the movable cone body 3 are connected to the jacket leg 4, a cone top is formed at the position of the maximum outer diameter of the anti-ice cone (the joint of the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 5). The horizontal circular pipe ring 6 arranged at the cone top ensures the close connection of the shell and the reinforcing support plate 14 and improves the overall structure and stability. The vertical circular pipe ring 7 is arranged at the end of the shell of the fixed cone body 2, and the shell of the fixed cone body 2 and the side sealing plate 11 are welded and connected at the vertical circular pipe ring 7. The vertical circular pipe ring 7 ensures that the fastening bolt 16 has sufficient pre-tightening force, strengthens the close connection of the fixed cone body 2 and the movable cone body 3, and ensures the anti-ice performance of the structure of the fixed cone body 2 before the movable cone body 3 is installed, thereby improving the overall structure and stability.
[0032] The abutting plate 9 of the fixed cone body 2 and the movable cone body 3 is provided with bolt holes 15 and elbow plates 8, which are arranged at equal intervals along the abutting plate 9. The bolt holes 15 are in the shape of a cross-shaped oval, and the fixed cone body 2 and the movable cone body 3 are fixed by the fastening bolt 16. The fastening bolt 16 is designed to be anti-loose, and the end is provided with a pin 17. The elbow plate 8 can strengthen the strength of the abutting plate 9 and improve the service life.
[0033] The application further comprises a lifting point 10 arranged on the movable cone body 3. The movable cone body 3 is hung by the lifting point 10, and the disassembly and installation of the movable cone body 3 are realized by using an inverted chain in cooperation with a floating crane.
