Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainproof equipment technology, specifically to a rainproof device for a marine platform reel. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process of offshore oil and gas production facilities, the daily inspection and maintenance of related equipment sometimes requires the use of power tools. Since the power tool cords are not long enough and the number of outdoor sockets in offshore oil and gas production facilities is limited, in most cases, a power cord reel is needed to connect the socket to the power tool.

[0003] Under normal circumstances, cable reels serve as a convenient and cost-effective medium for connecting sockets and power tools. However, offshore oil and gas production facilities are built in marine environments, surrounded by seawater, with high humidity and frequent rainfall due to geographical location and climate factors, especially in areas like the South China Sea. Cable reels commonly used in offshore oil and gas production facilities often lack effective waterproofing, leading to numerous problems in practical use. These problems mainly include the following:

[0004] 1. Because the reel is exposed to the outdoors, it must be stopped from use at sea whenever there is even a little rain. Otherwise, the reel will short-circuit after being wetted by rainwater, which will seriously affect the efficiency of inspection and maintenance operations.

[0005] 2. In the event of strong winds and waves, waves often wash over the deck of the sea platform, or after heavy rain, a large amount of water may accumulate on some deck surfaces, which can cause the reel to be easily soaked in water during use. In addition, the plug and the wire are both wound on the roller of the reel, but since the plug is heavier than the wire, the plug may fall down when the reel is moved, causing the plug to break or corrode due to water.

[0006] 3. During the use of the line reel, if operations need to be suspended due to marine weather conditions, the line reel must be retrieved quickly. However, if there is a lot of water on the deck, the line will be dragged on the deck when the line reel is used to quickly retrieve the line. The water on the deck will inevitably adhere to the line, and the water-soaked line will cause the line reel to corrode and be damaged quickly after being retrieved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rainproof device for offshore platform reels, which can protect the reels from rain and water during use on offshore platforms, thereby improving the efficiency of inspection and maintenance of offshore oil and gas production equipment.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the first box is configured as a raised structure that is high in the middle and inclined to the front and rear sides.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the rainproof box is provided with support legs for raising and supporting it, and the bottom of the support legs is provided with suction cups.

[0012] Furthermore, the plurality of the aforementioned outlet holes are arranged in a row and are located on the bottom surface of the first cover.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned outlet holes has a rubber gasket on its inner circumferential surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the second housing is provided with multiple drainage holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the interior of the second box is divided into an upper cavity and a lower cavity by a hanging plate, and the front side of the second box is connected by a hinge to a second box cover for closing the upper cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer side of the second box cover is provided with a flip-top handle.

[0017] Furthermore, the top of the first housing is provided with a handling handle.

[0018] Furthermore, the rainproof box is made of transparent acrylic material.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rainproof device for a cable reel on an offshore platform includes a rainproof box 1. The rainproof box 1 includes a first box body 2 and a second box body 3. The second box body 3 is located beside the first box body 2. The front and rear sides of the first box body 2 are connected by hinges to a first box cover 4. The surfaces of the two first box covers 4 are respectively provided with multiple cable outlet holes 5. The front side of the second box body 3 is provided with an opening 6. The inner side of the second box body 3 is provided with a hanging plate 7. The side of the hanging plate 7 is provided with a hanging groove 8.

[0026] When using this device, place the reel inside the first housing 2 in the middle, pull out the power plug and its connecting wire from the reel. The power plug exits from the outlet hole 5 on one side and is connected to the socket on the offshore platform. The power plug for the power tool exits from the outlet hole 5 on the other side, enters the first housing 2, and is connected to the reel. Power can then be used on the power tool. Even in strong winds or rainy weather, the first housing 2 provides rain and water protection for the reel, ensuring the continuous inspection and maintenance of offshore oil and gas production facilities. When retrieving the reel... When assembling the wires, the wires can be placed inside the second housing 3. This is mainly to separate the wires that are attached to the deck water or rainwater from the spool. After the wires are dried, they can be wound back onto the spool to prevent the spool from getting wet and corroding. In addition, placing the wires in the second housing 3 not only facilitates the rapid retrieval of the wires, but also prevents the wires from being damaged by being scattered on the offshore platform in bad weather. The power plug on the spool is clipped onto the hanging slot 8, thereby suspending the power plug on the hanging plate 7, separating the power plug from the wires that are attached to the deck water or rainwater, and preventing the power plug from getting wet and damaged.

[0027] The bottom surface of the first housing 2 is designed as a raised structure that is higher in the middle and slopes towards the front and rear sides. Even if some rainwater seeps into the interior of the first housing 2, the sloping surface of the raised structure can prevent rainwater from contacting the coil.

[0028] The bottom of the rainproof box 1 is provided with support legs 9 for raising and supporting it, and the bottom of the support legs 9 is provided with suction cups 10. The support legs 9 give the rainproof box 1 a certain height, which can ensure that the spool will not be submerged due to the large accumulation of rainwater on the deck surface, and prevent the spool from getting wet and corroding. The suction cups 10 can make the device stably adhere to the deck surface, effectively preventing the device from being blown away by strong winds or washed away by waves.

[0029] The multiple cable outlet holes 5 are arranged in a row and located at the bottom surface of the first housing cover 4. The position of the cable outlet holes 5 is fixed to prevent rainwater blown by the wind from entering the first housing 2 through the cable outlet holes 5, and to prevent the cable reel from getting wet and corroding.

[0030] Each of the aforementioned outlet holes 5 has a rubber washer 11 on its inner circumferential surface. The rubber washer 11 serves to protect the wire and prevent it from being scratched or damaged when it is dragged and stretched.

[0031] The bottom of the second housing 3 is provided with multiple drainage holes 12. The drainage holes 12 can prevent water from accumulating inside the second housing 3, and prevent the wires attached to the deck water or rainwater from being difficult to dry.

[0032] The interior of the second housing 3 is divided into an upper cavity 3a and a lower cavity 3b by a hanging plate 7. A second cover 13 for closing the upper cavity 3a is connected to the front of the second housing 3 via a hinge. The hanging plate 7 divides the interior of the second housing 3 into the upper cavity 3a and the lower cavity 3b, and together with the second cover 13, the power plug on the cable reel can be sealed inside the upper cavity 3a, ensuring that the power plug will not come into contact with rainwater, thus providing good waterproof protection.

[0033] The outer side of the second box cover 13 is provided with a flip-top handle 14. The top of the first box 2 is provided with a carrying handle 15. The carrying handle 15 facilitates the movement of the device together with the reel, ensuring continuous protection of the reel by the device, while the flip-top handle 14 is used to assist in opening the second box cover 13.

[0034] The rainproof box 1 is made of transparent acrylic material. The transparent acrylic material makes the device easy to process, meets certain strength requirements, and allows for clear and intuitive observation of the spool's usage status.
