Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heavy component transportation and marine engineering technology, specifically to a transport tooling for moving super-heavy, tall, large-scale submarine data center structures on land. Background Technology

[0002] Submarine data centers are enclosed, high-performance computing facilities deployed on the seabed. Their main structure is usually integrated and constructed on land, including superstructures, jackets, data cabins, and steel pipe piles, forming an integrated platform.

[0003] After onshore construction, the entire structure needs to be safely and smoothly transported to a barge. The core challenge of this transport process is the immense weight acting on the transport jig through a limited number of support points, generating extremely high concentrated loads. Traditional transport jig frames are prone to localized plastic deformation or instability under such massive point loads, and the underlying modular vehicle saddles may also be damaged due to excessive pressure. Furthermore, the 40-meter height generates significant inertial forces during start-up, braking, and turning, threatening the overall stability and connection strength of the jig. This transport utilizes high-load-bearing modular transport vehicles, employing a multi-axle, double-row parallel modular vehicle combination to provide basic movement and lifting functions. However, their flatbed structure cannot be directly adapted to such ultra-high, irregularly shaped structures. Therefore, a specialized transport jig for such ultra-heavy structures is needed, capable of effectively distributing the load, enhancing structural integrity, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the entire transport process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shipping tooling for submarine data centers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shipping fixture for a submarine data center, comprising a fixture frame body, diagonal bracing reinforcement modules, and load-bearing beam modules; load-bearing beam modules are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixture frame body, and multiple sets of opposing diagonal bracing reinforcement modules are arranged on the load-bearing beam modules; the diagonal bracing reinforcement modules and the fixture frame body form a spatial stabilizer to resist horizontal and torsional forces generated during transportation;

[0006] The main body of the tooling frame is used to carry and support the structure of the submarine data center, and its top structure matches the support points at the bottom of the submarine data center.

[0007] The diagonal brace reinforcement module includes a diagonal brace and fixed mounting seats located at both ends of the diagonal brace. The fixed mounting seat includes a base, a clamping plate, an arc plate, and a locking shaft. The two clamping plates and the arc plate form a three-sided enclosure. The two ends of the diagonal brace are in contact with the fixed mounting seats. The locking shaft locks the clamping plate and the diagonal brace.

[0008] The load-bearing beam module is distributed along the length of the tooling jig body in the front, middle and rear key stress areas, including the outrigger mounting beam and the diagonal brace mounting beam; the outrigger mounting beam has an outrigger placement groove for accommodating the outrigger, and locking plates are respectively provided on both sides above the outrigger placement groove. After the outrigger is inserted into the outrigger placement groove, the locking plates on both sides work together to lock the outrigger in the outrigger placement groove.

[0009] Preferably, the locking plate has an elastic buffer layer on the side facing the outrigger, and the elastic buffer layer elastically abuts against the surface of the outrigger.

[0010] Preferably, the diagonal brace mounting beam is provided with a dovetail groove, and the fixed mounting seat at the lower end of the diagonal brace is provided with a dovetail block that matches the dovetail groove, and the dovetail block can slide along the length direction of the dovetail groove.

[0011] Preferably, at least one side wall of the dovetail groove is provided with a plurality of locking holes at intervals, and the dovetail block is provided with a corresponding through hole. The locking member passes through the locking hole and engages with the through hole to fix the dovetail block and the dovetail groove relative to each other.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the dovetail groove is provided with a guide strip along the length direction, and the bottom of the dovetail block is provided with a guide groove that matches the guide strip. The guide strip and the guide groove slide together, which can limit the offset of the dovetail block along the width direction of the dovetail groove and improve the installation accuracy.

[0013] Preferably, the locking component is a locking bolt, and the through hole is a threaded hole adapted to the locking bolt, thereby fixing the dovetail block and the dovetail groove relative to each other to ensure the stability of the diagonal brace installation position.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic buffer layer is made of rubber and elastically contacts the surface of the outrigger to buffer transportation vibrations and prevent damage caused by rigid collision between the outrigger and the locking plate.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. Highly efficient and safe load distribution: The load-distribution beam module employs multiple transverse load-distribution beams with a section modulus and stiffness greater than the main bottom beam of the tooling jig. These beams are distributed along the key stress areas at the front, middle, and rear of the tooling jig, effectively transforming the massive concentrated load of the nearly 2000-ton submarine data center into a uniformly distributed surface load transferred to the module vehicle below. This solves the problem of localized plastic deformation and instability that easily occurs in traditional tooling under ultra-heavy structures, while also preventing damage to the module vehicle's saddle due to excessive pressure, thus ensuring load-bearing safety.

[0017] 2. Strong structural stability and load-bearing capacity: The diagonal bracing reinforcement module and the main body of the tooling frame form a triangular stable structure, thus creating a more rigid spatial stabilizer. Through a dual fixing method of clamping with clamping plates and locking shafts, the diagonal bracing rods are firmly and reliably connected, significantly improving the bending and torsional stiffness of the tooling frame. It can effectively resist the horizontal forces, torsional forces, and inertial forces generated during starting, braking, and turning during transportation, making it suitable for the transportation needs of a 40-meter-high underwater data center structure.

[0018] 3. Excellent adaptability and protection: The dovetail groove of the diagonal brace mounting beam slides into the dovetail block at the lower end of the diagonal brace, and with the limiting structure of the guide strip and guide groove, the installation position of the diagonal brace can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to ultra-high and irregularly shaped subsea data center structures of different sizes and shapes. The elastic rubber buffer layer on the inner side of the locking plate provides elastic abutment while locking the outriggers, which can not only avoid damage caused by rigid collision between the outriggers and the locking plate, but also buffer transportation vibrations, further improving transportation stability.

[0019] 4. Excellent system synergy and high reliability: This utility model is not a simple stacking of components, but rather an organic integration of the main tooling frame, diagonal bracing reinforcement module, and load-bearing beam module, forming a systematic solution for "overweight + high-altitude" working conditions. The synergistic effect of each module eliminates transportation risks from multiple dimensions, including load distribution, structural reinforcement, and component protection, greatly improving operational safety and comprehensively ensuring the safety of valuable submarine data center infrastructure and construction personnel, ensuring a smooth and controllable entire land-based relocation process.

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 This invention illustrates a specific embodiment of a shipping fixture for a submarine data center according to the present invention:

[0026] 1. Assembly of load-bearing beam modules

[0027] Using lifting equipment, the load-bearing beam modules (multiple load-bearing beams) are lifted to the preset position of the module transport vehicle group and placed along the length of the main body of the tooling frame, corresponding to the front, middle and rear key stress areas. The spacing of each load-bearing beam is calibrated with a tape measure to ensure uniform distribution. The levelness of the installation plane is checked with a level instrument, and the deviation is controlled within the allowable range.

[0028] Inspect the dovetail groove on the diagonal brace mounting beam 22 to ensure that the guide strip at the bottom of the groove is not deformed. Align the guide groove at the bottom of the dovetail block with the guide strip, slowly insert it into the dovetail groove, test the smoothness of sliding, and ensure that there is no jamming.

[0029] 2. Assembly and positioning of the main body of the tooling frame

[0030] Using lifting equipment, the main body of the jig is hoisted above the assembled load-bearing beam module. The position is adjusted so that the bottom of the jig body is precisely aligned with the support leg placement slot 23. The locking plate 24 is fixed with bolts to ensure that the locking plate 24 is symmetrically positioned and that a rubber elastic buffer layer has been pre-attached to the side facing the support leg, with a smooth and undamaged surface. At the same time, it is ensured that the support structure at the top of the jig body matches the position of the support point at the bottom of the seabed data center.

[0031] The main body of the tooling frame is fastened to the load-bearing beam module with bolts. Anti-loosening washers are added at the connection to enhance the stability of the connection. The verticality of the main body of the tooling frame is checked with a level to prevent tilting.

[0032] Verify the installation position of the main body of the jig to ensure that its centerline coincides with the centerline of the modular transport vehicle group, and the deviation does not exceed the design allowable value.

[0033] 3. Assembly of diagonal bracing reinforcement modules

[0034] Take a set of diagonal braces 11 and align their upper ends with the fixed mounting bases 12 pre-set on the side of the main body of the tooling frame, so that the top of the diagonal braces 11 is in close contact with the base 13 of the fixed mounting base 12, and the top of the diagonal braces abuts against the arc plate 16 without gap.

[0035] Pass the locking shaft 14 through the pre-drilled holes on the clamping plate 15 and the diagonal brace 11, and tighten both ends with nuts to complete the fixation of the upper end of the diagonal brace 11, ensuring that the locking shaft 14 is installed firmly and without loosening.

[0036] Adjust the fixed mounting base 12 at the lower end of the diagonal brace 11 so that the bottom dovetail block is aligned with the dovetail groove of the diagonal brace mounting beam 22. Slide it along the guide strip to the target position and use a tape measure to calibrate the tilt angle of the diagonal brace 11 to ensure that it forms a preset triangular stable structure with the main body of the tooling jig.

[0037] Select the locking hole corresponding to the side wall of the dovetail groove, pass the locking bolt through the locking hole and screw it into the threaded hole on the dovetail block, and tighten the bolt until the dovetail block and the dovetail groove are completely fixed and there is no relative slippage.

[0038] Following the steps described above, multiple sets of diagonal bracing reinforcement modules are symmetrically assembled on both sides of the main body of the tooling frame to ensure that each set of diagonal bracing rods 11 is subjected to uniform force and has consistent spacing.

[0039] 4. Post-assembly debugging and testing

[0040] Perform a comprehensive inspection of the connections of each module, and use a wrench to check the tightness of all bolts and locking shaft 14 to ensure that there is no looseness.

[0041] To test the stability of the diagonal brace 11, a horizontal force was manually applied, and no obvious displacement was observed, confirming that the spatial stable structure is reliable.

[0042] Using tools such as levels and measuring tapes, we comprehensively inspected the levelness, verticality, and spacing of various components of the tooling to ensure that they met the design requirements.

[0043] Start the modular transport vehicle group and conduct short-distance movement, start-up, braking and turning tests. Observe the tooling for any abnormal vibration, deformation or abnormal noise to confirm that it meets the transportation requirements.

[0044] 5. Erection and Fixing of Submarine Data Center

[0045] After the tooling is successfully tested and approved, the underwater data center structure is slowly lifted to the top of the tooling frame using large lifting equipment, aligned with the support points, and slowly lowered to ensure a smooth placement.

[0046] Check the fit between the underwater data center and the main frame. Ensure there is no gap or uneven stress. Adjust the shims to level the surface if necessary.

[0047] Additional fasteners (such as straps and limit blocks) are used to further secure the subsea data center to the main body of the tooling frame to prevent relative displacement during transportation, thus completing the assembly and preparation for use of the entire shipping tooling.

[0048] The applicant further declares that while the above embodiments illustrate the implementation method and apparatus structure of this utility model, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments, meaning that this utility model must rely on the above methods and structures to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to this utility model, equivalent substitutions for the selected implementation methods, additions of steps, and selection of specific methods all fall within the protection and disclosure scope of this utility model.
