Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine engineering technology, specifically to a platform docking structure and platform. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the complex wind, wave, and current environments in which offshore floating platforms operate, it is difficult for different platform modules to maintain consistent attitudes. To ensure the relative stability of the positions of the platform modules and the safety of the overall platform structure, the connection structure between the modules is particularly important. Existing floating platform connection structures either employ rigid or flexible connections. Rigid connections can guarantee the connection strength between platform modules, but they cannot adapt to different floating states of adjacent platform modules, making the connection structure prone to damage. Flexible connections, while adaptable to the floating of different platform modules, suffer from insufficient connection strength due to the reliance on flexible materials, resulting in unreliable connections between platform modules and compromising the safety of the platform structure.
[0003] In summary, there is an urgent need to provide a platform interface structure and platform to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example
[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment provides a platform docking structure, including a fixed base 1, a driving device 2, and a connecting component 3. The fixed base 1 includes a first fixed base 1.1 and a second fixed base 1.2, which are respectively fixed to two adjacent platform bodies. The driving device 2 is disposed on the first fixed base 1.1 and is connected to the connecting component 3. The driving device 2 drives the connecting component 3 to extend and retract between the first fixed base 1.1 and the second fixed base 1.2 to connect and disconnect the first fixed base 1.1 and the second fixed base 1.2. Limiting devices 4 are provided between the connecting component 3 and the first fixed base 1.1 and between the connecting component 3 and the second fixed base 1.2.
[0035] See Figure 3 The connecting component 3 includes a connecting component body 3.1 and two connectors 3.2, each connected to one end of the connecting component body 3.1. The connecting component body 3.1 includes an elastic sealing component, preferably a rubber block with a sealing shell fitted over its outer surface. The connectors 3.2 are connected to the sealing shell and the rubber block via waterproof bolts. The rubber block acts as a buffer, absorbing the impact force generated by the floating of adjacent platform bodies. The sealing shell prevents external liquids from entering the interior of the connecting component body 3.1, thus preventing corrosion of internal components.
[0036] The platform docking structure provided in this embodiment achieves a reliable connection between adjacent platform bodies through the cooperation of the fixed base 1, the connecting component 3, and the limiting component 4. In particular, the connecting component 3 adopts a combination structure of elastic sealing component and connector 3.2, which ensures the connection strength between platform bodies while adapting to different floating states between platform bodies. It can resist vertical and lateral shear forces and longitudinal pressure caused by constraints, ensuring the safety of the overall platform structure.
[0037] See Figure 4 Preferably, the connecting component 3 internally provides a connecting structure 3.3 for connecting the two connectors 3.2. At least one set of connecting structures 3.3 is provided, and the connecting structure 3.3 is movably connected to the two connectors 3.2. By providing the connecting structure 3.3, the structural strength of the connecting component 3 is further enhanced. Simultaneously, the movable connection between the connecting structure 3.3 and the two connectors 3.2 allows for a certain degree of freedom in the connection between the platform bodies under high sea states. Combined with the use of elastic sealing components, it can adapt to different amplitudes of floating of different platform bodies.
[0038] Preferred, see Figure 4The connecting structure 3.3 includes a first connecting rod 3.3.1, which is movably connected to two connecting heads 3.2 via a pin 3.3.2. Specifically, the first connecting rod 3.3.1 passes through a rubber block, and both ends of the first connecting rod 3.3.1 are arc-shaped. The connecting heads 3.2 are correspondingly provided with grooves, and pin holes are provided at the groove positions on the connecting heads 3.2. Elliptical holes are provided on the arc-shaped structures. The pin 3.3.2 passes through the pin holes and the elliptical holes to connect the first connecting rod 3.3.1 and the connecting heads 3.2. The arc-shaped end of the first connecting rod 3.3.1 can rotate around the pin 3.3.2 within the groove. Preferably, see... Figure 5 The inner diameter of the elliptical hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pin 3.3.2, that is, there is a gap between the first connecting rod 3.3.1 and the pin 3.3.2, which can provide a certain degree of rotational freedom and translational freedom, and better adapt to the different amplitudes of floating of adjacent platform bodies.
[0039] More preferably, the connector 3.2 is also provided with a pin cover plate, which covers both ends of the pin 3.3.2 to prevent external seawater from contacting the pin 3.3.2 and causing corrosion to the pin 3.3.2; it can also restrict the axial movement of the pin 3.3.2 and prevent the pin 3.3.2 from falling off.
[0040] As another preferred technical solution, see Figure 6 The connecting structure 3.3 includes a fixed base 3.3.3 and a second connecting rod 3.3.4. The fixed base 3.3.3 is fixed to the two connecting heads 3.2 respectively, and the second connecting rod 3.3.4 is movably connected to the two fixed bases 3.3.3. Specifically, the fixed base 3.3.3 is embedded in the connecting head 3.2, and the second connecting rod 3.3.4 passes through the rubber block. The two ends of the second connecting rod 3.3.4 are spherical structures, and the fixed base 3.3.3 is provided with grooves that match the spherical structures. The two ends of the second connecting rod 3.3.4 are hinged to the grooves on the fixed base 3.3.3 through the spherical structures.
[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 3.2 has a guide rib plate 3.2.1 at its end, and the guide rib plate 3.2.1 has a V-shaped structure.
[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The first fixed base 1.1 includes a first boom 1.1.1 and a boom plate 1.1.2. The first boom 1.1.1 is located at the end of the platform body and has a cavity for accommodating the connecting component 3. The boom plate 1.1.2 is located on the platform body and is connected to the end of the first boom 1.1.1 away from the end of the platform body. The second fixed base 1.2 includes a second boom 1.2.1 and also has a cavity for accommodating the connecting component 3. The second boom 1.2.1 is located on an adjacent platform body at a position corresponding to the first boom 1.1.1.
[0043] Preferably, the exit end of the first boom 1.1.1 and the entrance end of the second boom 1.2.1 are both provided with inclined surfaces that match the V-shaped structure of the guide rib plate 3.2.1, which is beneficial for the centering and alignment of the connector 3.2 after it extends, so that it can quickly dock with the second boom 1.2.1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the driving device 2 includes a hydraulic cylinder. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the boom plate 1.1.2, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the connector 3.2 (the end of the connector 3.2 is provided with a connecting plate that connects to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the connecting plate is provided with a corresponding connecting pin hole for connecting the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder); the driving device 2 drives the connecting assembly 3 to extend from the first boom 1.1.1 and into the cavity of the second boom 1.2.1.
[0045] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The limiting device 4 includes a limiting plate 4.1. Both the first fixed base 1.1 and the second fixed base 1.2 are provided with multiple through-hole slots for inserting the limiting plate 4.1. The connector 3.2 has limiting plate grooves 3.4 on both sides that match the limiting plate 4.1. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 4.1 is a rectangular plate, and the limiting plate groove 3.4 is a rectangular groove. The cross-sectional dimension of the limiting plate 4.1 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting plate groove 3.4, so that even when the platform is in a floating and swaying state, the limiting plate 4.1 can still be smoothly inserted into the limiting plate groove 3.4.
[0046] In practical application, the platform docking structure provided in this embodiment first moves the two adjacent platform bodies that need to be docked to a suitable position. The hydraulic cylinder in the first boom 1.1.1 operates to control the connecting component 3 to extend out from the first boom 1.1.1. After the connecting component 3 extends into the interior of the second boom 1.2.1, the operator inserts the limiting plate 4.1 from the through hole slot into the limiting plate slide groove 3.4 to realize the limiting lock of the connector 3.2 with the first boom 1.1.1 and the second boom 1.2.1, thus realizing the rapid connection between adjacent platform bodies.
[0047] This embodiment also provides a platform comprising multiple platform bodies, with adjacent platform bodies connected by at least one set of platform docking structures. Using these platform docking structures ensures reliable connections between the platform bodies and improves the safety of the platform structure.
[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
