Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil containment boom technology, specifically to an anti-tipping oil containment boom. Background Technology

[0002] Oil booms are underwater floating bodies with skirts used to contain oil and contaminants on the water surface to prevent their spread. They are commonly used in port oil spills. Existing oil booms typically consist of floating bodies and submerged bodies. The floating bodies provide buoyancy to keep the boom on the water surface, while the submerged bodies (such as counterweight skirts) are suspended vertically underwater to prevent oil from escaping from the bottom. In marine oil spills...

[0003] Traditional oil booms are prone to capsizing in rough sea conditions, resulting in poor oil containment and inability to effectively control the spread of oil pollution. Therefore, in actual use, anchoring is added to improve stability. However, the deployment efficiency of anchoring pins is low and they cannot quickly block oil pollution.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an anti-overturning oil boom to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-overturning oil boom to solve the problem that the deployment efficiency of oil booms using anchor nails is low and they cannot quickly block oil pollution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-tipping oil boom, comprising a tension belt, multiple sets of inflatable bladders fixedly connected to the surface of the tension belt, inflation valves fixedly connected to the surface of each inflatable bladder, a counterweight skirt fixedly connected to the lower edge of the tension belt, fixing holes provided on the surface of the tension belt at the upper and lower sides of each set of inflatable bladders, and an anti-tipping component provided on the surface of each inflatable bladder, the anti-tipping component comprising a fixing ring, a connecting block, a fixing screw, a connecting hole, a stabilizing rod, a threaded connector, anti-tipping fins, a fixing chain, and a counterweight ball.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the tension belt, inflatable bladder, and counterweight skirt are all made of flexible materials. The tension belt, inflatable bladder, and counterweight skirt work together to block oil spills. In severe weather conditions, the fixing ring can be fixed to the surface of the inflatable bladder, and the stabilizing rod and anti-tilt fins can be fixed to both sides of the fixing ring. The counterweight ball can be lowered into the water. At this time, the stabilizing rod, anti-tilt fins, and counterweight ball work together to support both sides of the inflatable bladder, effectively preventing the oil boom from overturning and effectively improving deployment efficiency, making it easy to quickly block oil spills.

[0008] Optionally, the fixing ring includes a front half ring and a rear half ring. The upper and lower ends of the front half ring are fixedly connected with fixing screws, and the upper and lower ends of the rear half ring are provided with connecting holes.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing screw is inserted into the connection hole, and a nut is threaded onto the surface of the fixing screw. The nut cooperates with the fixing screw to lock and fix the front half ring and the rear half ring.

[0011] Optionally, stabilizing rods are provided on both the front and rear sides of the fixing ring, and a threaded connector is fixedly connected to one end of the stabilizing rod near the fixing ring. The threaded connector is threadedly connected to a threaded hole on the surface of the connecting block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after fixing the fixing ring to the surface of the airbag, the threaded connector is connected to the connecting block, and then the stabilizer is fixed to both sides of the fixing ring.

[0013] Optionally, multiple sets of anti-tilt fins are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the surface of the stabilizer bar.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-tilt fins are horizontal, which increases the resistance to the water surface and effectively prevents the oil boom from overturning.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the fixed chain is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stabilizer bar, and one end of the fixed chain is fixedly connected to the counterweight ball.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the counterweight ball further improves the breeding of the air bladder and further enhances the stability of the oil boom.

[0017] Optionally, a second connecting collar is fixedly connected to one end of the stabilizer bar away from the fixed ring, and a first connecting collar is fixedly connected to the upper end of the counterweight ball, with the first connecting collar and the second connecting collar being threadedly connected.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when not in use, the fixing chain is filled into the inside of the stabilizer bar. At this time, the first connecting collar and the second connecting collar are threaded together, thereby fixing the counterweight ball to the end of the stabilizer bar, which facilitates its carrying and transportation.

[0019] Optionally, a plug rod is fixedly connected to the right end of the tension band, and a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the left end of the tension band, with the plug rod inserted into the inside of the connecting sleeve.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the plug rod can be inserted into the inside of the connecting sleeve, and the two tension bands can be quickly connected and fixed.

[0021] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0022] 1. This utility model fixes the fixing ring to the surface of the air bladder, while fixing the stabilizing rod and anti-tilt fins to both sides of the fixing ring, and lowers the counterweight ball into the water. At this time, the stabilizing rod, anti-tilt fins and counterweight ball work together to support both sides of the air bladder, effectively preventing the oil boom from overturning, and effectively improving deployment efficiency, making it easy to quickly block oil spills.

[0023] 2. This utility model uses flexible materials for the tension belt, air bladder, and counterweight skirt. When not in use, after the air bladder is deflated, the tension belt, air bladder, and counterweight skirt can be rolled up, the fixing ring can be removed, the fixing chain can be filled into the inside of the stabilizer bar, and the counterweight ball can be fixed to the end of the stabilizer bar. This facilitates the carrying and transportation of the oil boom and improves the ease of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 4The oil boom shown includes a tension belt 1, with multiple sets of inflatable bladders 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the tension belt 1. Inflation valves 12 are fixedly connected to the surface of the inflatable bladders 11. A counterweight skirt 16 is fixedly connected to the lower edge of the tension belt 1. Fixing holes 13 are provided on the surface of the tension belt 1 at the upper and lower sides of each set of inflatable bladders 11. A plug rod 14 is fixedly connected to the right end of the tension belt 1, and a connecting sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the left end of the tension belt 1. The plug rod 14 is inserted into the inside of the connecting sleeve 15. An anti-tipping component is provided on the surface of the inflatable bladders 11. The anti-tipping component includes a fixing ring 2, a connecting block 21, a fixing screw 22, a connecting hole 23, a stabilizing rod 3, a threaded connector 31, anti-tipping fins 32, a fixing chain 33, and a counterweight ball 34.

[0034] In this configuration, the tension belt 1, airbags 11, and counterweight skirts 16 are wound together using a winding drum when not in use, and the anti-rolling components are also in a disassembled state. When an oil leak occurs, the tension belt 1 is pulled outwards, and multiple sets of airbags 11 are inflated in sequence. After the airbags 11 are fully inflated, the anti-rolling components are fixed to their surfaces. As the hull moves, the oil booms are deployed on the water surface in sequence. The airbags 11 make the oil booms float on the water surface, while the counterweight skirts 16 prevent oil from leaking from the bottom of the water. The stabilizer bar 3, anti-rolling fins 32, and counterweight balls 34 stabilize both sides of the airbags 11, improving the stability of the oil booms in severe weather and effectively preventing the oil booms from capsizing.

[0035] Meanwhile, in actual use, the plug rod 14 is inserted into the inside of the connecting sleeve 15 to connect the two sets of tension bands 1, quickly connecting multiple oil booms into a whole, further improving deployment efficiency.

[0036] See Figures 4 to 6 The fixing ring 2 includes a front half ring and a rear half ring. The upper and lower ends of the front half ring are fixedly connected to fixing screws 22. The upper and lower ends of the rear half ring are provided with connecting holes 23. The middle position of the surface of the front half ring and the rear half ring of the fixing ring 2 are fixedly connected to connecting blocks 21. The surface of the connecting blocks 21 is provided with threaded holes. The front and rear sides of the fixing ring 2 are provided with stabilizing rods 3. The end of the stabilizing rod 3 near the fixing ring 2 is fixedly connected to a threaded connector 31. The threaded connector 31 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the surface of the connecting block 21. Multiple sets of anti-tilt fins 32 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the surface of the stabilizing rod 3. The inner end of the fixing chain 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing rod 3. The outer end of the fixing chain 33 is fixedly connected to the counterweight ball 34. The end of the stabilizing rod 3 away from the fixing ring 2 is fixedly connected to a second connecting collar 36. The upper end of the counterweight ball 34 is fixedly connected to a first connecting collar 35. The first connecting collar 35 and the second connecting collar 36 are threadedly connected.

[0037] Specifically, during the installation of the anti-tilt assembly, while inflating the airbag 11, the operator uses the threaded connector 31 and connecting block 21 to thread the stabilizer bar 3 onto the sides of the front and rear half rings respectively. After the airbag 11 is fully inflated, the front and rear half rings are respectively secured to both sides of the airbag 11, and the fixing screw 22 is passed through the fixing holes 13 and connecting holes 23 on the upper and lower sides to secure the fixing ring 2 onto the surface of the airbag 11. At this point, the nut and fixing screw 22 are used to secure the ring. The rear threaded connection locks the retaining ring 2, securing it tightly to the outside of the inflatable bladder 11. Then, the counterweight ball 34 is rotated, causing the first connecting collar 35 to rotate around the second connecting collar 36, separating the counterweight ball 34 from the stabilizer bar 3. As the tension band 1 is placed into the water, the inflatable bladder 11 and its anti-tilt components fall into the water. At this point, the unsecured counterweight ball 34 will descend, automatically pulling the fixing chain 33 out of the stabilizer bar 3 and suspending the counterweight ball 34 in the water.

[0038] In addition, during the recycling process, one end of the tension belt 1 is first fixed to the surface of the take-up drum, then the air bladder 11 is deflated. During the deflation process, the anti-tilt component is disassembled. After the deflation is completed, the take-up drum is rotated to wind up the tension belt 1, the air bladder 11 and the counterweight skirt 16. The equipment occupies a small area and is easy to move and transport.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By fixing the fixing ring 2 to the surface of the inflatable bladder 11, and fixing the stabilizing rod 3 and the anti-tilt fins 32 to both sides of the fixing ring 2, and lowering the counterweight ball 34 into the water, the stabilizing rod 3, the anti-tilt fins 32 and the counterweight ball 34 cooperate to support both sides of the inflatable bladder 11, effectively preventing the oil boom from tipping over and effectively improving deployment efficiency, making it easy to quickly block oil spills; at the same time, the tension belt 1, the inflatable bladder 11 and the counterweight skirt 16 are all made of flexible materials. After the inflatable bladder 11 is deflated, the tension belt 1, the inflatable bladder 11 and the counterweight skirt 16 are rolled up, the fixing ring 2 is removed, the fixing chain 33 is filled into the inside of the stabilizing rod 3, and the counterweight ball 34 is fixed to the end of the stabilizing rod 3. At this time, it is easy to carry and transport the oil boom, improving the convenience of use.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
