Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil containment boom technology, specifically a solid float-type rubber oil containment boom. Background Technology
[0002] Oil booms are essential equipment for preventing oil spills in waterways. Preventing oil spills requires preventing their spread, and oil booms are widely used to intercept them. In addition to intercepting oil spills, oil booms can also guide them and concentrate them as much as possible for further recycling and treatment.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of oil booms, such as PVC inflatable oil booms. The deployment method is as follows: the oil boom is released from the boom machine. After the oil boom enters the water, because there are connected air chambers inside the oil boom, the air source is connected to the air inflator at the end of the oil boom, which can inflate the air chambers inside the oil boom, so that the oil boom floats on the water surface and plays a role in intercepting oil.
[0004] The existing oil booms are mainly assembled by setting up fixed metal plates in multiple locations, and then fixing the metal plates of adjacent oil booms together with multiple bolts. This method is inefficient and inconvenient for storage and deployment. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a solid float-type rubber oil containment boom.
[0006] A solid float type rubber oil boom includes an outer float body, in which a solid float is provided. Connecting components are provided at both ends of the outer float body. The connecting components include a first connecting block connected to the edge of the outer float body. The outer float body is embedded in one side of the first connecting block. An insert block is provided on the other side of the first connecting block. The insert block cooperates with a slot on a second connecting block on an adjacent outer float body. The end of the limiting block inserted into the slot is in close contact with the insert block.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer float is encased in steel wires, and the outer float is made of rubber.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting block is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion at the contact point with the slot sidewall.
[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting block and the second connecting block are fixedly installed on the outer float by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, a skirt is provided on one side of the outer float, and the end of the skirt is connected to a counterweight chain.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer float is divided into multiple individual air chambers, each containing a solid float. Adjacent air chambers are interconnected via channels. The outer float is equipped with an air inlet, which is fitted with a sealing cap.
[0012] Furthermore, the solid float is made of foam material, and the foam has a columnar honeycomb structure.
[0013] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: In this utility model, adjacent oil booms are connected by a first connecting block and a second connecting block, which is convenient. It is only necessary to insert the plug into the slot and then insert the limiting block into the end of the slot to prevent the plug from falling out of the slot. By setting an inner float, the oil boom floats on the water surface. The solid float is made of foam material. The foam can make the outer float float on the water surface and at the same time control the amount of air in the outer float, thereby controlling the sinking depth of the oil boom as needed. The foam is honeycomb-shaped, which can increase the amount of air injected. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only one embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings and embodiments without creative effort, and all of them fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] according to Figure 1-6 As shown, a solid float-type rubber oil containment boom includes an outer float 1, an inner float 2 inside the outer float 1, and connecting assemblies at both ends of the outer float 1. The connecting assemblies include a first connecting block 3 connected to the edge of the outer float 1. The outer float 1 is embedded in one side of the first connecting block 3, and an insert block 4 is provided on the other side of the first connecting block 3. The insert block 4 cooperates with a slot 6 on a second connecting block 5 on an adjacent outer float 1, and the end of a limiting block 7 inserted into the slot 6 is in close contact with the insert block 4.
[0023] In the above specific technical solution, adjacent oil booms are connected by a first connecting block 3 and a second connecting block 5. The connection is convenient. It is only necessary to insert the plug 4 into the slot 6 and then insert the limiting block 7 into the end of the slot 6 to prevent the plug 4 from falling out of the slot 6. The oil boom floats on the water surface by setting the inner float 2.
[0024] The outer float 1 is encased in steel wire 8. The outer float 1 is made of rubber. The steel wire 8 is arranged inside the outer float 1 to increase the tensile strength of the outer float 1 and prevent the outer float 1 from breaking in the rapid water flow, which would cause the oil boom to leak air.
[0025] The limiting block 7 has an anti-detachment protrusion 9 at the contact point with the side wall of the slot 6, which helps the insert block 4 to be stably inserted into the slot 6. When it is necessary to disassemble and store the connected outer floats 1, the limiting block 7 can be taken out to separate the two outer floats 1.
[0026] The first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 are fixedly installed on the outer float 1 by bolts 10.
[0027] The outer float 1 is provided with a skirt 11 on one side, and the end of the skirt 11 is connected to the counterweight chain 12, so that the oil boom is partially above the water and partially below the water, thus playing the role of a barrier.
[0028] The outer float 1 is divided into multiple individual air chambers, each containing a solid float. Adjacent air chambers are interconnected via channels 17. The outer float 1 is equipped with an air inlet 16, which has a sealing cap 15. Gas is injected into the outer float 1 through the air inlet 16, enters the air chamber, and then flows into the entire outer float 1 via channels 17. After the gas injection is complete, the sealing cap 15 is fastened onto the air inlet 16.
[0029] The solid float is made of foam, which has a columnar honeycomb structure. The foam can make the outer float 1 float on the water surface and control the amount of air inside the outer float 1, thereby controlling the sinking depth of the oil boom as needed. The honeycomb shape of the foam can increase the amount of air injected.
[0030] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The scope of protection of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
