Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating protection devices, and in particular to a floating protection device suitable for ice breaking of pipe piles and prevention of marine organism attachment. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe piles on the water surface are a key component of maritime engineering and facilities, with their form and function varying depending on the application scenario. They face multiple threats in the aquatic environment: collisions with ships and scraping against floating debris can easily cause surface wear and even structural damage, while prolonged immersion in water can lead to corrosion and shorten their lifespan. Floating protection devices, as maritime safety equipment, use buoyancy to support the stable floating of pipe piles, preventing them from sinking; their protective structure isolates the water from direct contact with the pipe pile, slowing down corrosion, and also resists external impacts, reducing friction damage. This device, professionally designed, constructs a safety barrier for pipe piles, ensuring both the structural integrity and normal function of maritime engineering facilities, and providing a solid guarantee for their long-term safe operation.

[0003] Pipe piles face multiple challenges in complex aquatic environments. In icy waters, protective devices without ice-breaking components cannot withstand the pressure of ice expansion, leading to device deformation and failure, and even pipe pile displacement and structural damage. When impacted by floating ice, the lack of ice-breaking edges and other buffer components makes the device susceptible to being scraped and torn, losing its protective capability. In biodiverse waters, algae, barnacles, and other organisms quickly attach to the surface of the device, not only increasing its weight and weakening its buoyancy, but also clogging the structure and affecting its function. Corrosive substances produced by biological metabolism and decomposition further accelerate the aging of the device, shorten its service life, and seriously threaten the safe operation of marine engineering facilities. Therefore, a floating protective device suitable for ice breaking and preventing marine organism attachment of pipe piles is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a floating protection device suitable for ice breaking and marine organism attachment of pipe piles, aiming to improve the problems of ice block impact on pipe piles and organism attachment on the outside of pipe piles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a floating protection device suitable for ice breaking and marine organism attachment prevention of pipe piles, comprising a steel sleeve, a float fixedly connected to the outside of the steel sleeve, an ice breaking component provided on the outside of the float, and an anti-organism component provided on the outside of the steel sleeve.

A limit rod is fixedly connected to one side of the chute, and a striking rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the chute. Two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the top of the float. A second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable away from the rotating rod. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second connecting rod. Two protective shells are provided on the top of the float. A first connecting rod is rotatably connected inside the protective shell. A first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting rod. A gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first connecting rod.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, the device is based on the principle of fluid dynamics. It uses ocean current to drive the impeller assembly to rotate. The impeller assembly drives the gear ring, which is transmitted to the bevel gear through the gear and connecting rod one. Then, the bevel gear two realizes the transmission and steering. It is transmitted to the turntable through the connecting rod two. Using the eccentric structure of the rotating rod, the circular motion of the turntable is converted into reciprocating oscillation, and then converted into linear reciprocating motion through the slide groove. This drives the striking rod to move. When the ice-breaking cone impacts the flowing ice, it causes stress concentration, accelerates crack propagation, and induces the ice layer to bend and break. Finally, the kinetic energy of the ocean current is converted into periodic impact load. This realizes the function of actively breaking the ice layer in frozen waters, effectively resisting the pressure brought by the expansion of the ice layer, and ensuring the normal operation of the pipe pile in the cold environment.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, the cleaning layer is made of natural or synthetic rubber with added damping filler, placed inside the steel sleeve and attached to the surface of the pipe pile, possessing both elasticity and damping characteristics. The lightweight float below provides buoyancy, stabilizing the ice-breaking cone above near the sea level, adapting to tidal changes. Compared with a fixed structure, it can reduce the size of the device. The bottom impeller assembly drives the device to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise under the action of ocean currents, pushing the sea ice to both sides. Under the action of natural forces such as surges, tides, and ocean currents, the float and the impeller assembly move in tandem, causing friction between the cleaning layer inside the steel sleeve and the steel pipe pile. Through mechanical action, marine organisms are removed, and the stable environment required for their attachment is destroyed, effectively inhibiting the attachment of organisms on the surface of the device and ensuring the stable protection of the pipe pile by the device.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a floating protective device suitable for icebreaking and preventing marine organism attachment in pipe piles. The device includes a steel sleeve 1, a float 3 fixedly connected to the outside of the steel sleeve 1, an icebreaking component on the outside of the float 3, and an anti-organism component on the outside of the steel sleeve 1. The steel sleeve 1 serves as a support frame fitted over the outside of the pipe pile to protect the pipe pile inside. The float 3 provides buoyancy, stabilizing the device near sea level and automatically adjusting its height according to tidal changes. The icebreaking component reduces the impact of ice on the pipe pile, achieving efficient icebreaking, while the anti-organism component prevents organism attachment to the pipe pile.

[0032] The ice-breaking assembly includes two turntables 12. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the turntables 12. A slide 14 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 13. A limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide 14, and a striking rod 17 is fixedly connected to the other side of the slide 14. Two fixed plates 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the float 3. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 12 away from the rotating rod 13. A bevel gear 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 11. Two protective shells 8 are provided on the top of the float 3. A connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 8. A bevel gear 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 7. A gear 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 7. A fixed plate 18 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the gear 6. A toothed ring 5 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the steel sleeve 1. An ice-breaking cone 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the steel sleeve 1. The ice-breaking assembly achieves its effect by moving the turntables 12. The rotating rod 13 is offset from the center of the turntables 12. The slide 14 is used to limit the rotation. The moving rod 13 has a range of motion and converts the rotation of the rotating rod 13 into its own reciprocating motion. The limiting rod 16 is used to limit the range of motion of the striking rod 17 and prevent the striking rod 17 from detaching from the outside of the fixed plate 15. The ice-breaking action is achieved by the reciprocating sliding of the striking rod 17. The fixed plate 15 is used to limit and support the sliding of the striking rod 17 and the limiting rod 16. The turntable 12 achieves its own movement by the rotation of the connecting rod 2 11. The bevel gear 2 10 is used to drive the connecting rod 2 11 on its outside to rotate synchronously. The protective shell 8 is used to protect the normal operation of its internal structure. The connecting rod 1 7 is used to drive the bevel gear 1 9 to rotate synchronously. The gear 6 is used to transmit the movement of the gear ring 5 to the connecting rod 1 7. The fixed plate 18 is used to limit and protect the rotation of the gear 6. The gear ring 5 is used to transmit the rotation of the impeller group 4. The ice-breaking cone 2 has a prismatic structure. During the collision between the flowing ice and the prismatic structure, it accelerates the generation of cracks in the ice and induces the ice to bend and break.

[0033] The anti-colonization component includes a cleaning layer 19, which is located inside the steel sleeve 1. An impeller assembly 4 is located on the outside of the steel sleeve 1 and at the bottom of the toothed ring 5. The cleaning layer 19 is made of rubber damping material. It removes attached marine organisms by rubbing against the surface of the steel pipe pile. At the same time, it destroys the stable environment required for marine organism attachment and prevents biological colonization. Each impeller in the impeller assembly 4 is S-shaped and can drive the device to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise under the action of ocean currents, which can push the sea ice to both sides.

[0034] The bevel gear 9 and bevel gear 10 mesh, and the device changes the direction of force through the meshing of bevel gear 9 and bevel gear 10.

[0035] The toothed ring 5 and the gear 6 mesh. The toothed ring 5 is located below the float 3. The gear 6 rotates through the toothed ring 5 that meshes with it. The toothed ring 5 is located between the floats 3 of the impeller assembly 4 to avoid affecting the buoyancy of the float 3.

[0036] The slide groove 14 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed plate 15, and the slide groove 14 is used to drive the striking rod 17 and the limiting rod 16 to slide.

[0037] The limiting rod 16 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed plate 15, and the striking rod 17 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed plate 15. The fixed plate 15 is used to provide a sliding channel for the striking rod 17 and the limiting rod 16.

[0038] The connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 8. The protective shell 8 is used to protect the bevel gear 10 at one end of the connecting rod 11 so that it can operate normally.

[0039] The fixed plate 18 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 7, and the connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the inside of the float 3. The fixed plate 18 is stabilized by the connecting rod 7. The connecting rod 7 transmits the rotation of the gear 6 to the bevel gear 9 by rotating inside the float 3.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] Based on the principles of fluid dynamics, this device uses ocean currents to drive the impeller assembly 4 to generate rotational motion. The rotation of the impeller assembly 4 is transmitted to the meshing gear 6 via the gear ring 5. The gear 6 transmits the circular motion synchronously to the bevel gear 9 via the connecting rod 1. The bevel gear 9 and the bevel gear 10 achieve a 90° change in transmission direction through spatial meshing, providing vertical driving force for subsequent mechanisms. The connecting rod 11 transmits the rotation of the bevel gear 10 to the turntable 12. The eccentric setting of the rotating rod 13 converts the uniform circular motion of the turntable 12 into periodic reciprocating oscillation. The slide 14 converts the oscillation of the rotating rod 13 into precise linear reciprocating motion. The striking rod 17 achieves ice-breaking action through the slide 14. The ice-breaking cone 2 has a prismatic structure, which accelerates the formation of cracks in the ice during the collision between the flowing ice and the prismatic structure, inducing the ice to bend and break. The device converts the kinetic energy of the ocean current into periodic impact loads to achieve the ice-breaking action.

[0042] The cleaning layer 19 is made of natural or synthetic rubber with added damping filler. It is placed inside the steel sleeve 1 and adheres to the surface of the pipe pile, combining elasticity and damping characteristics. The lightweight float 3 below provides buoyancy, stabilizing the ice-breaking cone 2 above near the sea level. It can adapt to tidal changes and can reduce the size of the device compared to a fixed structure. The bottom impeller assembly 4 drives the device to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise under the action of ocean currents, pushing the sea ice to both sides. Under the action of natural forces such as surges, tides, and ocean currents, the float 3 and the impeller assembly 4 move together, causing the cleaning layer 19 inside the steel sleeve 1 to rub against the steel pipe pile. Through mechanical action, marine organisms are removed, and the stable environment required for their attachment is destroyed, thereby achieving the function of preventing bioattachment.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
