Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of marine engineering equipment, and in particular relates to an installation platform for underwater working equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Marine scientific research activities are comprehensive scientific research practices in which humans systematically explore, observe and study the ocean. The common method of research is for researchers to enter the sea by driving marine scientific research vessels to conduct scientific research.

[0003] Because marine scientific research instruments need to come into contact with seawater during operation, traditional marine scientific research vessels generally need to install these instruments by fixing them underwater. As a result, every time these instruments need to be repaired or replaced, divers need to go underwater to operate them or the vessel needs to go into dry dock, leading to difficulties in replacement and repair, as well as huge time and costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an installation platform for underwater working equipment to solve the technical problems described in the background.

[0005] An installation platform for underwater working equipment includes: Moon pool, which is set on the ship so that the ship's moving surface can reach the bottom of the sea through the moon pool. The moon pool is fixed with an outer frame, and the inside of the outer frame is a slide. The inner wall of the slide is equipped with guide rails. A slide block, with sliders corresponding to the position and number of guide rails installed on its outer periphery, is used to mount marine scientific research instruments; After the marine scientific research instrument is installed on the slide, the slide is placed into the slide rail, and the slider slides into the guide rail. The slide then drives the marine scientific research instrument to sink and be fixed at the bottom of the slide. At this time, the marine scientific research instrument is fixed in the sea to carry out scientific research operations. When replacing or repairing marine scientific research instruments, the instruments can be removed from the slide by pulling it up from the sea and removing it from the top of the moon pool.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects: 1. Since marine scientific research instruments can be pre-fixed on the sliding base on the moving surface of the ship, the operator only needs to place the sliding base into the slide rail and let the slider on the slide rail slide into the guide rail. At this time, the sliding base can carry the marine scientific research instrument to the bottom of the ship and into the sea. Then, by fixing the sliding base to the bottom of the outer frame, the marine scientific research instrument can be fixed to the bottom of the ship. Therefore, when installing marine scientific research instruments to the bottom of the ship, there is no need for divers to go underwater or for the ship to enter the dry dock, thereby improving the convenience of installation, reducing the difficulty of installation, and reducing the time and cost of installation. 2. When it is necessary to replace or repair marine scientific research instruments installed on the bottom of the ship, since the marine scientific research instruments are installed in the slide, it is only necessary to pull up the slide. The slide will lift the marine scientific research instruments until they leave the sea surface and rise to the top of the moon pool. At this time, the marine scientific research instruments can be removed or replaced from the slide. Therefore, there is no need for divers to go underwater or for the ship to go into dry dock. The replacement or repair of marine scientific research instruments can be carried out conveniently, reducing the difficulty of replacement and repair, as well as the time and cost of replacement and repair.

[0007] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0008] In some embodiments, the ship's control panel is equipped with an electric hoist, which winds up a steel cable connected to a slide block. The electric hoist drives the slide block to rise and fall within the slide rail by releasing or winding the steel cable. According to the aforementioned technical solution, it is possible to further facilitate the installation, replacement, and maintenance of marine scientific research instruments located at the bottom of the ship.

[0009] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the moon pool is provided with a Q235 steel plate fixed to the ship, the bottom of the moon pool is a smooth surface, and the inner wall of the moon pool is coated with an anti-corrosion paint layer; according to the above technical solution, the strength and service life of the moon pool can be improved.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom opening of the moon pool is horizontal; according to the technical solution, the slide can more stably send marine scientific research instruments into the sea, and can stably submerge marine scientific research instruments into the sea.

[0011] In some embodiments, the slide rail is symmetrically provided with several guide rails, which are parallel to each other; according to the above technical solution, the slide can rise and fall more stably within the slide rail, and the slide can be supported more stably.

[0012] In some embodiments, the guide rail is coated with an anti-corrosion paint layer; according to the above technical solution, the strength and service life of the guide rail are improved.

[0013] In some embodiments, the slide includes an upper frame, a lower frame, and reinforcing columns. Two reinforcing columns are located inside the upper and lower frames on both sides. The reinforcing columns pass through the upper and lower frames and are fixedly connected to the upper and lower frames. The two reinforcing columns are connected by a reinforcing beam. The marine scientific research instrument is installed on the lower frame, and the slider is located on the outer periphery of the upper and lower frames. According to the technical solution, the structural features of the upper frame, lower frame, and reinforcing columns can effectively reduce resistance when the slide is submerged in the sea and when it is raised in the sea, while also providing stable support for marine scientific research instruments.

[0014] In some embodiments, the reinforcing column has an opening, and the reinforcing beam passes through the opening; according to the technical solution, by having the reinforcing beam pass through the openings of two reinforcing columns simultaneously, the stress strength of the reinforcing column can be effectively improved when the reinforcing column provides support to the upper and lower frames.

[0015] In some embodiments, the reinforcing column, reinforcing beam, and slider are made of 316 steel and coated with anti-corrosion paint, while the upper frame and lower frame are made of Q235 steel; according to the above technical solution, the strength and lifespan of the slide can be improved when it is submerged in the sea for a long time.

[0016] In some embodiments, the slide is vertically provided with a support column, and the support column is provided with a limiting support plate so that when the slide sinks to the sea and part of it extends out of the moon pool, the limiting support plate rests on the top of the outer frame. According to the technical solution, when the slide seat drives the marine scientific research instrument to sink to the bottom of the ship and enter the sea, it can support the slide seat and the marine scientific research instrument. Compared with the traditional screw fixing method and buckle method, this support method is more convenient and efficient in installation and removal.

[0017] In some embodiments, a force-bearing frame is installed on the top of the outer frame for mounting the limiting support plate, and the limiting support plate can be locked and fixed to the force-bearing frame; according to the above technical solution, the situation where the slide vibrates during use, causing inaccurate measurement data and equipment damage to marine scientific research instruments can be avoided.

[0018] In some embodiments, the slide is provided with a plurality of support columns, some of which are fixed to the top of the reinforcing column; according to the above technical solution, the slide can be fixed and supported more stably. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1 This embodiment provides an installation platform for underwater working equipment, which includes a moon pool 1 and a sliding base 3.

[0024] Moon pool 1 is installed on the ship so that the ship's working surface can be accessed through moon pool 1 to the seabed. The working surface is the plane for operator movement and work. The outer perimeter of moon pool 1 is provided with Q235 steel plates fixed to the ship. The bottom of moon pool 1 is a smooth surface. The bottom opening of moon pool 1 is a horizontal plane.

[0028] When it is necessary to install the marine scientific research instrument 4 on the bottom of the ship and submerge it in the sea: The marine scientific research instrument 4 can be pre-fixed on the slide 3 on the moving surface of the ship. After that, the operator only needs to put the slide 3 into the slide rail 21 and let the slider 31 on the slide rail 21 slide into the guide rail 22. At this time, the slide 3 can drive the marine scientific research instrument 4 to sink to the bottom of the ship and enter the sea. Then, by fixing the slide 3 to the bottom of the outer frame 2, the fixing method can be screw fixing, sling fixing, etc., and the marine scientific research instrument 4 can be fixed to the bottom of the ship.

[0029] When it is necessary to replace or repair the marine scientific research instrument 4 installed on the bottom of the ship: Since the marine scientific research instrument 4 is installed on the slide 3, simply pull up the slide 3 and raise it. The slide 3 will drive the marine scientific research instrument 4 to rise until the marine scientific research instrument 4 leaves the sea surface and rises to the top of the moon pool 1. At this time, the marine scientific research instrument 4 can be removed from the slide 3 or replaced.

[0030] Example 2 This embodiment provides an installation platform for underwater working equipment, which includes a moon pool 1 and a sliding base 3.

[0031] Moon pool 1 is installed on the ship so that the ship's working surface can be accessed through moon pool 1 to the seabed. The working surface is the plane for operator movement and work. The outer perimeter of moon pool 1 is provided with Q235 steel plates fixed to the ship. The bottom of moon pool 1 is a smooth surface. The bottom opening of moon pool 1 is a horizontal plane. The inner wall of moon pool 1 is coated with an anti-corrosion paint layer.

[0032] The moon pool 1 is fixed with an outer frame 2. Inside the outer frame 2 is a slide 21. Several guide rails 22 are symmetrically arranged on the slide 21. The guide rails 22 are parallel to each other and are coated with anti-corrosion paint. Several load-bearing frames 23 are installed on the top of the outer frame 2.

[0033] The slide block 3 includes an upper frame 32, a lower frame 33, and reinforcing columns 34. Two reinforcing columns 34 are located on either side of the upper frame 32 and the lower frame 33, passing through and being fixedly connected to them. The two reinforcing columns 34 are connected by a reinforcing beam 35. Each reinforcing column 34 has an opening 341 into which the reinforcing beam 35 passes. The reinforcing columns 34, reinforcing beams 35, and slide block 31 are made of 316 steel and coated with anti-corrosion paint. The upper frame 32 and lower frame 33 are made of Q235 steel. The slide block 3 has several vertically arranged support columns 36, some of which are fixed to the top of the reinforcing columns 34, while the remainder are fixed to the upper frame 32. The support column 36 is provided with a limiting support plate 37 for mounting on the force-bearing frame 23. The limiting support plate 37 can be locked and fixed to the force-bearing frame 23, and can be locked by means of screws.

[0034] The marine scientific research instrument 4 is mounted on the lower frame 33. Sliders 31, corresponding to the position and number of guide rails 22, are mounted on the outer periphery of the slide 3. The sliders 31 are located on the outer periphery of the upper frame 32 and the lower frame 33.

[0035] The ship's control panel is equipped with an electric hoist, which winds up a steel cable connected to the slide block 3. The electric hoist drives the slide block 3 to rise and fall within the slide rail 21 by releasing or winding the steel cable.

[0036] The following is an instruction manual for using the installation platform of an underwater working device according to this embodiment.

[0037] When the marine scientific research instrument 4 needs to be installed on the bottom of the ship and submerged in the sea: the marine scientific research instrument 4 can be pre-fixed on the slide 3 on the moving surface of the ship. Then, the operator only needs to put the slide 3 into the slide rail 21 and let the slider 31 on the slide rail 21 slide into the guide rail 22. At this time, the electric hoist releases the steel cable, thereby controlling the slide 3 to descend. The slide 3 drives the marine scientific research instrument 4 to sink to the bottom of the ship and enter the sea. At this time, the limiting support plate 37 of the support column 36 is mounted on the force frame 23 to support the slide 3. Then, the limiting support plate 37 can be locked and fixed on the force frame 23. Subsequently, the marine scientific research instrument 4 is fixed to the bottom of the ship.

[0038] When it is necessary to replace or repair the marine scientific research instrument 4 installed on the bottom of the ship: Since the marine scientific research instrument 4 is installed on the slide 3, the limiting support plate 37 is released from the locking of the force frame 23. Then, the electric hoist is used to wind up the steel cable, thereby lifting the slide 3 and raising it. The slide 3 then drives the marine scientific research instrument 4 to rise until the marine scientific research instrument 4 leaves the sea surface and rises to the top of the moon pool 1. At this time, the marine scientific research instrument 4 can be removed from the slide 3 or replaced.
