Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of integrated pad technology, specifically a multi-purpose integrated pad assembly. Background Technology
[0002] In offshore platform construction, top modules with spigot structures, due to the numerous suspended pipelines and supports at their bottom, commonly employ skid-slip loading to ensure installation integrity. However, this process has significant limitations: First, it places stringent demands on site infrastructure, requiring the pre-construction of dedicated skid tracks, which can lead to wasted resources when modules are lightweight. Second, when multiple modules are constructed simultaneously, the required skid track length increases dramatically; insufficient resources necessitate phased construction, significantly extending project timelines. Furthermore, skid-slip loading requires numerous sliding blocks, consuming considerable site space. From a module design perspective, additional weighing points are needed, increasing design complexity, material usage, and construction costs. In the weighing stage, the high module height necessitates high-specification weighing blocks, and the lengthy installation and commissioning of weighing equipment severely restricts weighing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a multi-purpose integrated pad assembly to solve the problems involved in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-purpose integrated pad assembly, which is used in conjunction with a self-propelled modular transport vehicle, including a regular pad, an integrated pad set on the regular pad, and transport fixtures provided below both sides of the integrated pad, the transport fixtures being mounted on the self-propelled modular transport vehicle.
[0005] The integrated pad is equipped with modular support legs, and the bottom of the modular support legs is provided with modular insertion tips, which do not contact the integrated pad.
[0006] Furthermore, the integrated support includes a support body, side wings on both sides of the support body, and a module leg receiving cavity on the top of the support body. The module leg and module tip are located in the module leg receiving cavity, and the module tip does not contact the bottom of the module leg receiving cavity.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the side wing abuts against the upper surface of the transport tooling.
[0008] Furthermore, a weighing component is provided between the ordinary pad and the integrated pad.
[0009] Furthermore, the weighing assembly includes a weighing jack and a weighing sensor.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This application utilizes specialized construction piers to provide stable support for the main body of the project during the module and structure construction phases. During the weighing process, the weighing equipment can be positioned low to complete load measurements through structural design. In the shipping phase, it can be integrated with SPMT equipment to enable flexible transfer and ship loading of the modular structure. This innovative approach integrates functions across the entire construction-weighing-transportation process, eliminating the need for additional weighing points or transportation interfaces during the module design phase. This effectively reduces site resource constraints and significantly shortens the project construction cycle. Furthermore, the device can be easily modified for reuse to meet different project needs, improving material turnover efficiency while significantly reducing project costs.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Example:
[0020] Depend on Figures 1-4As shown, a multi-purpose integrated pad block assembly is used in conjunction with a self-propelled modular transport vehicle 1. It includes a regular pad block 2, an integrated pad block 3 disposed on the regular pad block 2, and transport fixtures 4 disposed on the lower sides of the integrated pad block 3. The transport fixtures 4 are disposed on the self-propelled modular transport vehicle 1.
[0021] The integrated pad 3 is provided with a module support leg 5, and the bottom of the module support leg 5 is provided with a module tip 6. The module tip 6 is not in contact with the integrated pad 3.
[0022] The integrated support block 3 includes a support body 31, side wings 32 on both sides of the support body 31, and a module leg receiving cavity 33 on the top of the support body 31. The module legs 5 and module tips 6 are located inside the module leg receiving cavity 33. The outer diameter of the module leg receiving cavity 33 is the same as that of the module legs 5, and its height is determined by the height of the module tips 6 and the height of the lower suspension layer, ensuring that the module tips 6 do not contact the bottom of the module leg receiving cavity 33 and providing sufficient space for the installation of the lower suspension. The bottom of the side wings 32 abuts against the upper surface of the transport fixture 4, increasing the contact area with the self-propelled modular transport vehicle 1 in a spreading manner, thus meeting the support space requirements of the self-propelled modular transport vehicle 1. If the module weights are similar, but the dimensions of the module legs 5 are inconsistent, or the height requirements of the module tips 6 or the lower suspension are inconsistent, the module leg receiving cavity 33 can be replaced to meet the construction, weighing, and transportation requirements of modules with different sizes and heights.
[0023] A weighing assembly is also provided between the ordinary support block 2 and the integrated support block 3. The weighing assembly includes a weighing jack 7 and a weighing sensor.
[0024] In this application, the integrated support block 3 is placed on the ordinary support block 2, the module legs 5 are connected to the integrated support block 3, and the module tip 6 does not contact the integrated support block 3 to avoid stress on the tip. During the module construction phase, the integrated support block 3 and the ordinary support block 2 together serve as construction supports to complete the module construction. During the module weighing phase, the weighing jack 7, placed on the ordinary support block 2, is lifted to the weighing point of the integrated support block 3, and the module is weighed by a weighing sensor. During the module loading and transportation phase using SPMT, the transport tool is mounted on the self-propelled module transport vehicle 1. The self-propelled module transport vehicle 1 is lifted until the transport tool 4 contacts the transport point of the integrated support block 3. Then, the SPMT continues to lift until the integrated support block 3 is detached from the ordinary support block 4. Finally, the SPMT is used to load the module from the construction site onto the transport ship.
[0025] This application can reduce the weighing height of the module, and there is no need to place weighing pads when weighing the module, which reduces material usage, shortens the module weighing cycle, and reduces labor costs. This application can also realize the use of SPMT for ship transportation without affecting the installation of the module's lower suspension structure, which can make reasonable and flexible use of site resources, reduce the ship transportation cycle, and reduce material and labor costs. At the same time, multiple modules of the same series can be constructed in parallel as needed, reducing the overall project construction cycle.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
