Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating liner technology, and in particular to an anti-torsion floating liner. Background Technology

[0002] A floating platform is a modular structure that floats on the water surface. It mainly consists of buoyancy support components, connecting frames, and functional platforms (such as treads and guardrails). It is widely used in water operations (salvage, inspection, etc.). Its core function is to support the overall weight through buoyancy tubes set at the bottom (mostly a new type of anti-torsion floating platform material, HDPE, which uses a hollow structure to provide buoyancy), so that the platform can remain floating and provide a stable working surface for personnel or equipment.

[0003] As the core supporting component of the floating raft, the buoyancy tube not only needs to provide sufficient buoyancy to bear the load, but also needs to be combined with adjacent buoyancy tubes through connecting structures to form floating raft systems of different lengths or areas. In practical applications, in order to meet the needs of large-area operations, floating rafts are usually used in the form of multiple units arranged in parallel. The buoyancy tubes of a single floating raft are fixed to each other through connectors to form a continuous overall structure.

[0004] In scenarios where multiple floating hulls are arranged in parallel to form a long structure, the buoyancy tubes in the water are prone to torsional moments around their axes due to water flow impacts (such as uneven flow velocity distribution and local eddies). However, the existing buoyancy tube connection structures of floating hulls have insufficient torsional resistance: the circular buoyancy tubes and connectors lack effective mechanical locking structures, and are prone to relative rotation under torsional force, leading to loosening of the joints. Furthermore, single welded or clamped connections are difficult to disperse the torsional force, causing the torsional force to concentrate at local connection points, which can easily cause bending deformation of the buoyancy tubes and breakage of connectors. Long-term torsion can also aggravate fatigue damage to the buoyancy tubes, reduce their load-bearing capacity and service life, and in severe cases, lead to instability of the overall floating hull structure, affecting normal operational safety.

[0017] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "longitudinal," "horizontal," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "head," and "tail" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and do not indicate that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation; therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first," "second," "third," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0019] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0020] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, some embodiments of this utility model disclose an anti-torsion floating raft, which includes a pedal 10, a buoyancy assembly 20, and at least one buffer mechanism 30. Multiple buoyancy assemblies 20 are spaced apart and installed at the bottom of the pedal 10 to provide floating support on the water surface. At least one buffer mechanism 30 is disposed on the buoyancy assembly 20 to prevent the buoyancy tube 22 from bending and deforming, increase its anti-torsion performance, avoid long-term torsion exacerbating fatigue damage to the buoyancy tube 22, increase its load-bearing capacity and service life, and prevent the overall structure of the floating raft from becoming unstable.

[0021] Continue to refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the buoyancy component 20 may include multiple supports 21 and multiple buoyancy tubes 22, with the multiple supports 21 being installed at intervals on the bottom of the pedal 10; and the multiple buoyancy tubes 22 being installed at intervals on the multiple supports 21.

[0022] Refer again Figure 1Multiple buffer mechanisms 30 are provided, and the multiple buffer mechanisms 30 are respectively arranged at intervals on multiple buoyancy tubes 22. This avoids the multiple buoyancy tubes 22 and the support 21 from generating torsional torque around the axis due to water flow impact (such as uneven flow velocity distribution, local eddies), and avoids the torsional force from concentrating at the local connection between the buoyancy tubes 22 and the support 21, thereby preventing phenomena such as bending deformation of the buoyancy tubes 22 and breakage of the connecting parts.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer mechanism 30 may include multiple first buffer components 31 and multiple second buffer components 32. The multiple first buffer components 31 are respectively disposed between two adjacent buoyancy tubes 22 to buffer the swaying of the buoyancy component 20. In other words, the first buffer components 31 are used to reduce the impact of water flow on the buoyancy tube 22, reducing the effects of uneven impact velocity distribution and local eddies. The second buffer components 32 are disposed above or below the first buffer components 31. Similarly, the second buffer components 32 are used to reduce the impact of water flow on the buoyancy tube 22, reducing the effects of uneven impact velocity distribution and local eddies.

[0024] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first buffer assembly 31 may include a first buffer block 311, a first connector 312, a second buffer block 313, and a second connector 314. The first buffer block 311 is elastically supported between two adjacent buoyancy tubes 22, reducing the swaying of the adjacent buoyancy tubes 22. The first connector 312 is disposed above and below the first buffer block 311, with both ends extending to the left and right sides of the first buffer block 311, respectively. Two first connectors 312 on two adjacent first buffer blocks 311 are connected to each other, thereby connecting multiple first buffer assemblies 31 together. The second buffer block 313 is located outside the outermost buoyancy tube 22. The second connector 314 is located above and below the second buffer block 313. The second buffer block 313 is connected to the adjacent first buffer block 311 through the first connector 312 and the second connector 314 to provide elastic support on the outermost buoyancy tube 22 and reduce the outward swaying of the outermost buoyancy tube 22.

[0025] Understandably, when multiple buoyancy tubes 22 are impacted by water flow, the swaying generated by the multiple buoyancy tubes 22 will be reduced by the elastic support force of the first buffer block 311 and the second buffer block 313. This reduces the insufficient torque resistance of the float connection structure, prevents the buoyancy tubes 22 from rotating under torque, avoids the buoyancy tubes 22 from bending and deforming, prevents the connectors from breaking, reduces fatigue damage to the buoyancy tubes 22 caused by torsion, increases their load-bearing capacity and service life, and further prevents the overall structure of the float from becoming unstable.

[0026] It should be noted that both the first buffer block 311 and the second buffer block 313 are made of highly elastic rubber, which fills the gaps after being compressed, thus limiting the relative displacement of the buoyancy tube 22. It should also be noted that adjacent first connecting pieces 312 or the first connecting piece 312 and the adjacent second connecting piece 314 are connected and fixed by bolts or other means.

[0027] Refer again Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first buffer block 311 may include a first body 3111 and two first abutting surfaces 3112 with an arc-shaped structure. The two first abutting surfaces 3112 are respectively formed on two opposite sides of the first body 3111. The curvature diameter of the first abutting surface 3112 is equal to the outer diameter of the buoyancy tube 22. The two first abutting surfaces 3112 abut against one side of two adjacent buoyancy tubes 22, so that the two sides of the first buffer block 311 are respectively attached to the outer surface of the two adjacent buoyancy tubes 22.

[0028] Continue to refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the second buffer block 313 may include a second body 3131 and a second abutment surface 3132 with an arc-shaped structure. The second abutment surface 3132 is formed on one side of the second body 3131. The curvature diameter of the second abutment surface 3132 is equal to the outer diameter of the buoyancy tube 22. The second abutment surface 3132 abuts against one side of the outermost buoyancy tube 22 so that the second buffer block 313 is attached to the outer surface of the buoyancy tube 22.

[0029] In other embodiments, the first connector 312 is disposed above the first buffer block 311; however, the first connector 312 may also be disposed below the first buffer block 311. Similarly, the second connector 314 is disposed above the second buffer block 313; however, the second connector 314 may also be disposed below the second buffer block 313. Both the first connector 312 and the second connector 314 are made of PE material and have a certain degree of deformation capability. Of course, the first connector 312 and the second connector 314 may also be made of other materials with deformation capability.

[0030] Specifically, when multiple buoyancy tubes 22 are impacted by water flow, the elastic force of the first buffer block 311 and the second buffer block 313 absorbs the torsional force brought by the water flow. By utilizing the deformation characteristics of highly elastic rubber, the torsional force is converted into elastic potential energy, which initially disperses and buffers the torsional force, preventing it from acting directly on the buoyancy tubes 22.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the second buffer assembly 32 is disposed between the two ends of the first connector 312. In some embodiments, the second buffer assembly 32 may include a damper 321 and an elastic element 322. The damper 321 is disposed between the two ends of the first connector 312, and the elastic element 322 is a spring. The elastic element 322 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 321, and its two ends abut against the two ends of the first connector 312 respectively. The damper 321 and the elastic element 322 support the first connector 312 with elastic support force, reducing the deformation between the first connector 312, thereby reducing the undulation and swaying of the multiple buoyancy tubes 22 when they are impacted.

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The buffer mechanism 30 also includes a sleeve 33 and a clamp 34. The sleeve 33 is fitted over multiple dampers 321 and multiple elastic elements 322, and the clamp 34 is mounted on the second connector 314. The sleeve 33 is fixed to the clamp 34 to secure it. Understandably, grooves are provided at both ends of the sleeve 33, and the clamp 34 is engaged within these grooves. A through groove is formed along the length of the bottom of the sleeve 33, covering the multiple second buffer components 32. Understandably, the sleeve 33 constrains the displacement of the buffer mechanism 30, and the engaging structure between the clamp 34 and the sleeve 33 restricts the relative rotation between the buoyancy tube 22 and the connector, ensuring the overall geometric stability of the multi-buoyancy tube combination and ultimately improving the torsional resistance of the float.

[0033] Specifically, the damper 321 consumes mechanical energy through piston movement and converts torsional force into heat energy, while the elastic element 322 stores and releases energy through elastic deformation. The two work together to further weaken the transmission of torsional force and reduce the peak force on the buoyancy tube 22.

[0034] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of this utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
