Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine protection technology, specifically to a device for preventing marine organism attachment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous deepening of marine resource development and utilization, the construction scale of facilities such as steel piles and jackets for offshore platforms is constantly expanding. These artificial structures are submerged in the marine environment for a long time, providing ideal habitats, attachment sites and breeding grounds for fouling organisms. The resulting ecological attachment problems are gradually becoming a key hidden danger threatening the safety of marine engineering facilities.

[0003] If the size of the anti-marine organism attachment device is too large, it will affect the anti-attachment effect, while if the size is too small, it cannot be installed. Therefore, the size of the anti-marine organism attachment device needs to be adapted and adjusted according to the diameter of the pile legs, tie rods or tie rods.

[0004] In the existing technology, such as the patents with application numbers CN21621357073.7 and 22222132298.4, the solution can be installed around underwater components such as steel piles and jackets to scrape off marine organisms and prevent the attachment and growth of marine fouling organisms. However, the installation is not very convenient and the construction efficiency is low, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0050] The terminology used in describing embodiments of this disclosure is a selection of commonly used terms that are currently widely used in consideration of their function herein. However, these terms may change depending on the intent of those skilled in the art, legal or technical interpretations, the emergence of new technologies, etc. Furthermore, in some cases, arbitrarily chosen terms may be present, and in such cases, the meaning of the term will be disclosed in more detail in the corresponding description. Therefore, the terms used herein should not be simply understood as their names, but should be understood based on the meaning of the term and the overall context of this disclosure.

[0051] Please refer to Example 1 Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for preventing marine biofouling, including a flexible connecting strip 1, a first collision float 2, a connector 3, and multiple second collision floats 4.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first collision float 2 is provided with a first insertion hole 21 and a groove 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, each of the multiple second collision floats 4 is provided with a connecting hole 41, which is used for the flexible connecting strip 1 to pass through. The flexible connecting strip 1 passes through the multiple second collision floats 4 in sequence, and the end of the flexible connecting strip 1 is inserted into the first insertion hole 21.

[0054] Furthermore, the first collision float 2 is provided with a positioning hole 23, which is connected to the first insertion hole 21. The maximum inner diameter of the groove 22 is greater than the diameter of the positioning hole 23. At the same time, the positioning hole 23 is opened from the bottom of the groove 22. The positioning hole 23 and the groove 22 form a concentric stepped hole structure.

[0055] Furthermore, the end of the flexible connecting strip 1 is provided with a limiting hole 11, and the connecting member 3 is threadedly connected to the first collision float 2. The end of the connecting member 3 passes through the positioning hole 23, and the connecting member 3 also passes through the limiting hole 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, the groove 22 has a plurality of limiting parts 221, and a slot 222 is formed between the plurality of limiting parts 221. The slot 222 is located on the outer periphery of the opening of the positioning hole 23.

[0057] Furthermore, the connector 3 is provided with a plurality of malleable clips 31 at its head end. The malleable clips 31 are used for shaping and partially inserted into the clip slots 222, thereby restricting the rotation of the connector 3.

[0058] For example, both the connector 3 and the malleable clip 31 are made of aluminum alloy.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the first collision float 2 and the second collision float 4 are cylindrical, and their outer diameters are the same. The outer diameter of the second collision float 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the separator ring 5, and the outer diameter of the separator ring 5 is larger than the connecting hole 41.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connector 3 includes an end 32, an external thread section 33, and a smooth rod section 34.

[0061] Furthermore, the external thread section 33 is located between the end 32 and the smooth rod section 34, and both the end 32 and the smooth rod section 34 are integrally formed with the external thread section 33. An internal thread section (not shown) that matches the external thread section 33 is provided in the first insertion hole 21.

[0062] Furthermore, multiple malleable clips 31 are arranged in a circular array around the center of the end 32, and the malleable clips 31 and the end 32 are integrally formed, with a pry groove 311 provided between the malleable clips 31 and the end 32.

[0063] During use, tools such as pry bars and screwdrivers can be inserted into the pry groove 311 to pry the malleable retaining strip 31 and shape it so that it is partially inserted into the retaining groove 222, preventing the connector 3 from rotating and achieving an excellent loosening effect. This solves the problem of loosening caused by vibration and impact in traditional threaded connections from the root, and is especially suitable for continuous shaking conditions in marine environments, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device.

[0064] Furthermore, a handle 321 is provided on the top surface of the end 32, and the handle 321 is integrally formed with the end 32.

[0065] The addition of a handle 321 allows users to easily turn the connector 3, improving the ease of installation.

[0066] In this embodiment, the limiting part 221 and the first collision float 2 are integrally formed.

[0067] In this embodiment, a second insertion hole 24 is provided inside the first collision float 2, and the second insertion hole 24 communicates with the positioning hole 23. The second insertion hole 24 is located below the positioning hole 23, and the central axis of the second insertion hole 24 coincides with the central axis of the positioning hole 23. The second insertion hole 24 is used for inserting the end of the optical rod segment 34. The limiting hole 11, the positioning hole 23, and the second insertion hole 24 are all clearance-fitted with the optical rod segment 34.

[0068] In this embodiment, the flexible connecting strip 1 is a braided rope, and the braided rope is clearance-fitted with the connecting hole 41. The clearance fit between the flexible connecting strip 1 and the connecting hole of the float can adapt to slight swaying in the marine environment, and avoid structural stress concentration caused by excessive tightness, thus ensuring connection stability during long-term use.

[0069] For example, the end of the braided rope is folded to form a double-layered section, and the double-layered section is pressed and fixed to the corresponding part of the rope body by a metal buckle, while the braided rope naturally winds around at the bend to form a limiting hole 11.

[0070] In this embodiment, the ends of the first collision float 2 and the second collision float 4 are chamfered. The end of the smooth rod segment 34 is hemispherical.

[0071] Please refer to Example 2 Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for preventing marine organism attachment, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes multiple partition rings 5.

[0072] Furthermore, the flexible connecting strip 1 passes through multiple partition rings 5, which are spaced apart from the second collision floats 4. By setting the partition rings 5, multiple second collision floats 4 can be prevented from accumulating together, ensuring that each second collision float 4 can independently collide with the pile leg.

[0073] Please refer to Example 3 Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for preventing marine biofouling, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that it also includes a biodegradable guide 6, which is funnel-shaped.

[0074] Furthermore, the biodegradable guide 6 has a small-diameter end, which is inserted into the limiting hole 11. The biodegradable guide 6 is clearance-fitted with the first insertion hole 21.

[0075] By utilizing its funnel-shaped, large-diameter flared design, the smooth rod section 34 can be guided through during the assembly of connector 3, thus shortening the assembly time per session and significantly reducing the difficulty of on-site assembly.

[0076] Furthermore, the biodegradable guide component 6 is made of starch-based plastic. Starch-based plastic can degrade naturally in seawater environments, leaving no residual pollution after degradation, thus avoiding additional burden on the marine environment.

Thus, deviations from the illustrated shape will be expected, for example, as a result of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, example embodiments of the inventive concept should not be construed as limited to the specific shapes shown herein, but rather include, for example, shape deviations caused by manufacturing processes.

[0078] The subject matter disclosed above is to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive, and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications, enhancements, and other embodiments falling within the true spirit and scope of the inventive concept. Therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the scope will be determined by the widest permissible interpretation of the appended claims and their equivalents, and should not be constrained or limited by the foregoing detailed description.
