Abstract
Description
A High-Stability Gravity Caisson Wharf Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of caisson wharves, specifically relating to a highly stable gravity-type caisson wharf. Background Technology
[0002] Caissons are a type of deep foundation, commonly used in wharves and breakwaters. They are topped, bottomless box-shaped structures with internal partitions, allowing them to float in water. Their sinking or floating is controlled by adjusting the ballast water inside the caisson. During construction, the caisson is filled with sand or rubble, and then a top cover is added to seal it, forming a topped, bottomed box-shaped structure that serves as the main load-bearing and wall structure. An airlock is installed on the top cover to facilitate the entry and exit of personnel, materials, and soil, while maintaining a constant air pressure within the chamber.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN214460097U discloses "a single-row caisson pier structure with an anchor, comprising a caisson and a superstructure. The bottom of the caisson has a forward-extending toe facing the sea. The caisson contains a reinforcing plate and at least one compartment. An anchor structure is located behind the caisson, and the anchor structure is connected and fixed to the caisson by a tie rod. A backfill layer is located behind the caisson, and the tie rod and anchor structure are embedded in the backfill layer." This utility model utilizes the seaward orientation of the caisson. Connecting the caisson to the anchorage structure with tie rods on one side enhances the structural stability of the caisson, limits the relative displacement between the front and rear rails, makes the gantry crane safer to operate, and reduces later maintenance. Traditional gravity structures require a certain width-to-height ratio to achieve stability, while the tie rod and anchorage structure reduces the width of the base plate needed for stability, thus reducing concrete usage and excavation. This structure is particularly suitable for dry-site construction, saving project costs and shortening the construction period. However, the following drawbacks still exist:
[0004] (1) The gravity caisson wharves currently on the market have low internal and external support when in use, which reduces the overall stability support and makes the overall impact resistance less stable, making them unsuitable for long-term use.
[0005] (2) The gravity caisson wharves currently on the market have low overall impact resistance when in use and lack a good multi-angle diversion measure, resulting in insufficient overall impact resistance and easy damage, which reduces the overall usability.
[0006] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed a highly stable gravity caisson wharf. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly stable gravity-type caisson wharf to solve the current problem of the lack of a good multi-angle diversion system.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a high-stability gravity caisson wharf, including a caisson body, a stabilizing reinforcement component disposed inside the caisson body, and an impact reinforcement component disposed on the surface of the caisson body;
[0009] The stabilizing and reinforcing component includes a detachable mesh plate connected to the inside of the box. The mesh plate has an inner groove, and steel bars are embedded in the inner groove. The steel bars are in a mesh shape, and the mesh plate supports the box.
[0010] The impact enhancement component includes an arc-shaped box fixedly connected to the four sides of the box surface. The arc-shaped box has a sleeve inside, and a reinforcing rib is connected inside the sleeve. A horizontal plate is detachably connected to one side of the arc-shaped box. The impact on the box surface is diverted through the arc-shaped box.
[0011] Furthermore, the stabilizing and reinforcing component also includes a base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and a post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped box, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped box.
[0013] Furthermore, the impact enhancement component also includes a first connection hole formed on the surface of the horizontal plate, wherein there are multiple first connection holes distributed at four corners on the surface of the horizontal plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a first arc-shaped plate is connected to one side of the inside of the arc-shaped box, and a second arc-shaped plate is connected to one side of the inside of the arc-shaped box.
[0015] Furthermore, a third arc-shaped plate is connected to one side of the inside of the arc-shaped box. The arcs on the surfaces of the first, second, and third arc-shaped plates are different. Second connecting holes are provided on the surfaces of the first, second, and third arc-shaped plates. Bolts are connected to the first and second connecting holes.
[0016] Furthermore, a fixing handle is fixedly connected to the top of the box, and there are multiple fixing handles distributed at the four corners of the top of the box.

[0018] 1. The internal grid plates of the container enhance the overall stability of the container and reduce deformation caused by impacts on the seabed. The grid plates are all supported by concrete to facilitate their connection with the interior of the container. The internal grooves of the grid plates are used to install steel bars, which are cast simultaneously with the grid plates. The grooves are also filled with concrete after construction. The curved plate also has a concrete support plate installed inside, which increases the stability of the curved box. The bottom of both the container and the curved box is equipped with a base plate, which is connected to the insertion column. The insertion column is inserted into the seabed. The overall installation stability achieves the connection stability between the container and the curved box and the seabed, which increases the overall impact stability and makes it less prone to damage.
[0019] 2.

[0030] Example:
[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a high-stability gravity-type caisson wharf includes a caisson body 1, a stabilizing reinforcement component disposed inside the caisson body 1, and an impact-enhancing component disposed on the surface of the caisson body 1. The stabilizing reinforcement component includes a grid plate 301 detachably connected inside the caisson body 1. The grid plate 301 has an inner groove 302, and steel bars 303 are embedded and connected inside the inner groove 302. The steel bars 303 are in a grid pattern, supporting the caisson body 1 through the grid plate 301. The reinforcing component includes an arc-shaped box 401 fixedly connected to the four sides of the surface of the box 1. The arc-shaped box 401 has a sleeve 404 inside, and a reinforcing rib 410 is connected inside the sleeve 404. A horizontal plate 402 is detachably connected to one side inside the arc-shaped box 401. The arc-shaped box 401 diverts the impact on the surface of the box 1. There are multiple sleeves 404 to increase the support density inside the arc-shaped box 401 and increase the fixation. The strength of the grid plate 301 is increased by the steel bars 303.
[0032] As shown in Figure 5, the stabilization and reinforcement component also includes a base plate 304 fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 1. A plug post 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 304, which facilitates insertion with the seabed and increases the overall installation stability.
[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, a support plate 306 is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped box 401, and a base plate 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped box 401. Inserted columns 305 are installed through the base plate 304, which also increases the connectivity between the arc-shaped box 401 and the seabed. The arc-shaped box 401 has increased impact resistance stability through the internal support plate 306.
[0034] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the impact enhancement component further includes a first connecting hole 403 formed on the surface of the horizontal plate 402. There are multiple first connecting holes 403, which are distributed at the four corners on the surface of the horizontal plate 402. A first arc plate 405 is connected to one side of the inside of the arc box 401, and a second arc plate 406 is connected to one side of the inside of the arc box 401. The first connecting hole 403 facilitates the installation of the horizontal plate 402, making the whole assembly more flexible to install the sleeve 404 according to the conditions of the sea area.
[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, a third arc-shaped plate 407 is connected to one side of the interior of the arc-shaped box 401. The arcs of the first arc-shaped plate 405, the second arc-shaped plate 406, and the third arc-shaped plate 407 are different. Second connecting holes 408 are provided on the surfaces of the first arc-shaped plate 405, the second arc-shaped plate 406, and the third arc-shaped plate 407. Bolts 409 are connected to the first connecting hole 403 and the second connecting hole 408. A fixing handle 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1. There are multiple fixing handles 2, which are distributed at the four corners of the top of the box body 1. The second connecting holes 408 on the surfaces of the first arc-shaped plate 405, the second arc-shaped plate 406, and the third arc-shaped plate 407 facilitate their connection with the arc-shaped plate, making it easy to fit and install, and increasing the force distribution of the arc-shaped box 401 during impact.
[0036] In summary, the grid plates 301 fixedly connected inside the container 1 increase the overall stability of the container 1 and reduce the deformation caused by impacts on the seabed. Each grid plate 301 is supported by concrete to facilitate its connection to the interior of the container 1. The internal grooves 302 of each grid plate 301 house the reinforcing bars 303, which are cast simultaneously with the grid plates 301. The grooves 302 are also filled with concrete after construction. Similarly, the curved plate has a concrete support plate 306 installed inside. Simultaneously, the stability of the curved caisson 401 is enhanced. Both the caisson body 1 and the curved caisson 401 are fitted with base plates 304, which connect to the insertion posts 305. The insertion posts 305 are then inserted into the seabed, improving overall installation stability and connection stability between the caisson body 1 and the curved caisson 401 and the seabed. This increases overall impact stability, making it less prone to damage. Consequently, the gravity caisson wharf exhibits high internal and external support during operation, increasing overall stability and enhancing its overall impact resistance. For ease of long-term use, multiple horizontal plates 402 are installed inside the arc-shaped box 401 at the non-arc end. These horizontal plates 402 are connected to bolts 409 via multiple first connecting holes 403 on their surfaces, allowing them to be installed inside the arc-shaped box 401. Sleeves 404 are installed on the surface of each horizontal plate 402, and a first arc-shaped plate 405, a second arc-shaped plate 406, and a third arc-shaped plate 407 are installed at the other end of each sleeve 404. The arc degree of the surfaces of the first arc-shaped plate 405, the second arc-shaped plate 406, and the third arc-shaped plate 407 is different. To facilitate fitting with the curved side inside the curved box 401, multiple reinforcing ribs 410 are installed inside the sleeve 404. The multiple sleeves 404 support the inside of the curved box 401, thereby enhancing the internal support of the curved box 401, making it easier to withstand larger impacts and increasing the overall impact stability. As a result, the gravity caisson wharf has high overall impact resistance during use and has a good multi-angle diversion measure, so the overall impact resistance is sufficient and it is not easy to be damaged, thus improving the overall usability.
