For this reason, the equipment for supplying cryogenic liquefied gas to transport vehicles and the like is also located within a site near the coast. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-055290 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] If a tsunami or high tide occurs due to an earthquake or other cause in an area adjacent to a gas production plant or low-temperature liquefied gas storage base, there is a problem that the transport vehicles on the site may be swept off the site or may interfere with surrounding facilities.
[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle mooring device and a vehicle mooring method that can quickly moor a vehicle and prevent the vehicle from being washed away even in the event of a tsunami or high tide. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention provides a vehicle mooring device capable of mooring a transport vehicle in an area adjacent to the sea, comprising a support pole having at least one engaging portion and fixed to the ground, and a connection portion capable of connecting the at least one engaging portion of the support pole to the vehicle.
[0007] According to this configuration, by connecting the vehicle and the support pole with the connection part, it is possible to quickly moor the vehicle and prevent it from being washed away even in the event of a tsunami or high tide.
[0008] In the above configuration, the connection portion may include a wire having one end having a loop shape and another end opposite the one end, and a hook that is arranged at the other end of the wire and can engage with the engagement portion.
[0009] According to this configuration, by passing the other end of the wire through the loop portion on the one end side, the wire can be easily engaged with a part of the vehicle.
[0010] In the above configuration, the other end of the wire may have a loop shape, and the hook may be attached to the loop portion of the other end.
[0011] According to this configuration, the connecting portion can be easily configured by using a wire having loops on both ends and attaching a hook to one of the loops.
[0012] In the above configuration, the support may have a support body that is fixed to the ground, and a fixing member that penetrates the support body horizontally and includes the engagement portion in a portion that protrudes from the support body.
[0013] According to this configuration, the fixing member penetrates the support body and an engagement portion is provided at the tip thereof, so that measures to prevent leakage can be taken early.
[0014] In the above configuration, both end portions of the fixing member may protrude from the support body, and the engaging portion may be disposed at each end.
[0015] According to this configuration, two engaging portions are arranged on one support pole, and a plurality of vehicles can be moored.
[0016] The above-mentioned configuration may further comprise a housing pipe having an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the support, buried in the ground, and capable of housing the support inside.
[0017] According to this configuration, the support poles do not protrude above ground, so that the support poles do not normally interfere with work in the surrounding area.
[0018] A vehicle mooring method according to another aspect of the present invention is a method for mooring a transport vehicle in an area adjacent to the sea, comprising a vehicle positioning step of positioning the vehicle adjacent to a support pole fixed to the ground in the area, and a connection step of connecting the vehicle to an engagement portion provided on the support pole using a connection portion.
[0019] According to this method, by connecting the vehicle and the support pole with a connection part, it is possible to quickly moor the vehicle and prevent it from being washed away even in the event of a tsunami or high tide.
[0020] In the above method, the connection step may include using, as the connection portion, a wire having one end having a loop shape and another end opposite the one end, and a hook that is arranged at the other end of the wire and can engage with the engagement portion, and engaging a ring-shaped portion formed by passing the other end of the wire through the loop portion at the one end with a part of the vehicle, while engaging the hook with the engagement portion, thereby connecting the support pillar and the vehicle.
[0021] According to this method, the other end of the wire is passed through the loop portion (loop portion) on one end side, so that the wire can be easily engaged with a part of the vehicle.
[0022] In the above method, the vehicle arrangement process may include arranging the multiple vehicles in a line in the width direction so that one longitudinal end of each of the multiple vehicles faces the support pillar, and the connection process may include connecting the one end of each of the multiple vehicles to the support pillar using a plurality of the connection parts.
[0023] According to this method, multiple vehicles can be moored by one support pole.
[0024] In the above method, the connection process may include connecting one of the engaging portions provided on the support to one end of one of the plurality of vehicles using one of the connecting portions, while connecting another of the engaging portions different from the one of the engaging portions provided on the support to one end of another of the plurality of vehicles different from the one of the plurality of vehicles using another connecting portion different from the one connecting portion.
[0025] This method allows each vehicle to be securely moored to a single support pole using independent connections.
[0026] In the above method, the vehicle placement step may include arranging the plurality of vehicles side by side in the area on the opposite side of the sea from the support pillar so that the longitudinal direction of the vehicles extends toward the sea.
[0027] According to this method, the drag force that the vehicle receives from seawater can be reduced.
[0028] In the above method, the vehicle arranging step may include arranging the plurality of vehicles side by side in the area so that a direction connecting the support pole and the sea is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the vehicles.
[0029] This method allows one vehicle to protect the other vehicle from an impact. [Effects of the Invention]
[0030] According to the present invention, a vehicle mooring device and a vehicle mooring method are provided that can quickly moor a vehicle and prevent the vehicle from being carried away even in the event of a tsunami or high tide. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0032] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing two transport vehicles moored by a vehicle mooring device according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the structure of the vehicle mooring device according to this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a rear view showing the support pole of the vehicle mooring device according to this embodiment.
[0033] Referring to FIG. 1, a vehicle mooring device and mooring method according to this embodiment enables a vehicle to be moored in an area adjacent to the sea. Specifically, the mooring device 1 moors two tank trucks 100 (also referred to as vehicles, large vehicles, or transport vehicles) to the ground in the area. The mooring device 1 includes a support 10. In FIG. 1, two tank trucks 100A and 100B are arranged side by side. In particular, in this embodiment, the two tank trucks 100 are arranged side by side in the area on the opposite side of the sea from the support 10, with the longitudinal direction of each tank truck 100 extending toward the sea. The tank truck 100 is an example of a transport vehicle according to the present invention. A transport vehicle is a vehicle equipped with transport equipment with a load capacity of 2 tons or more, and includes not only tank trucks but also trailers, trucks, etc.
[0034] As described above, an example of a case in which the tank truck 100 is deployed in an area adjacent to the sea is a gas production plant or a low-temperature liquefied gas storage base located along the coast. To supply gas to areas or regions that cannot be reached by gas pipelines directly connected to these facilities, the low-temperature liquefied gas is transported by a transport vehicle such as the tank truck 100. Such gas production plants and low-temperature liquefied gas storage bases are often deployed along the coast for the convenience of ship transport and drainage facilities. For this reason, the facility for supplying low-temperature liquefied gas to the tank truck 100 is also located within a site along the coast. The tank truck 100 has a gas storage section (tank, transport facility). Note that, as described below, the object stored by the tank truck 100 is not limited to gas, but may also be liquid (liquid tank, transport facility).
[0035] In areas adjacent to gas production plants or cryogenic liquefied gas storage bases such as those described above, if a tsunami or high tide occurs due to the effects of an earthquake or other events, there is a risk that the tank truck 100 on the premises may be swept off the premises or may interfere with surrounding facilities. In particular, when a tsunami or high tide occurs, it can be difficult in time to evacuate the tank truck 100 on the premises to a location outside the area affected by the tsunami or high tide. Furthermore, if the tank truck 100 stores or transports flammable gas or liquid, the above-mentioned leakage off the premises or interference with surrounding facilities may lead to unforeseen incidents. In addition, facilities such as gas production plants and cryogenic liquefied gas storage bases generally have robustly designed building and ground structures.
[0036] To address the above-mentioned problems, the mooring device 1 according to this embodiment can prevent the tank truck 100 from drifting away due to the influence of a tsunami or the like.
[0037] 2 and 3, the mooring device 1 has a pole 10 and a connection part 20. The pole 10 has a cylindrical shape and is fixed to the ground.
[0038] The pole 10 has a pole body 11 that is fixed to the ground, a mounting bolt 14, and a pair of hook mounting portions 15 (engagement portions) (Fig. 3). In this embodiment, the pole body 11 is hollow inside. In other embodiments, the pole body 11 may be solid inside. A base plate 12 and multiple rib plates 13 are fixed to the lower end of the pole body 11. The base plate 12 is a plate-like member that is placed on the ground. The base plate 12 is fixed to the ground by multiple long bolts. The multiple rib plates 13 have the function of increasing the rigidity of the pole 10.
[0039] The mounting bolt 14 is a bolt that penetrates the support body 11 at the upper end thereof. The mounting bolt 14 and a pair of hook mounting portions 15 constitute a fixing member in this embodiment. The fixing member includes a hook mounting portion 15 that penetrates the support body 11 horizontally and is located at a portion that protrudes from the support body 11. In particular, in this embodiment, both ends of the fixing member protrude from the support body 11, and a hook mounting portion 15 is located at each end. With this configuration, two hook mounting portions 15 can be located on one support, allowing multiple tank trucks 100 to be moored. As an example, the hook mounting portion 15 is formed of an eye nut. Note that in other embodiments, the hook mounting portion 15 may be located only on one end of the mounting bolt 14. As described above, by having the mounting bolt 14 penetrate the support body 11 and providing the hook mounting portion 15 at its tip, measures to prevent spillage can be taken early.
[0040] The connection part 20 is a member capable of connecting the hook mounting part 15 of the support 10 and the tank truck 100. Specifically, the connection part 20 has a sling 21 (wire) and a hook 22. The sling 21 includes one end having a loop shape and the other end opposite the one end. The hook 22 is disposed at the other end of the sling 21 and has a structure that allows it to engage with the hook mounting part 15 of the support 10. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the other end of the sling 21 also has a loop shape, and the hook 22 is attached to the loop portion of the other end. In this way, the connection part 20 can be easily constructed by using a sling 21 having loops on both ends and attaching the hook 22 to one of the loops.
[0041] 4A, 4B, and 4C are side views showing how a transport vehicle is moored by a vehicle mooring device according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4A, a support pillar 10 is installed in advance at the mooring location of a tank truck 100. Upon receiving information about a tsunami, a high tide, or the like, a worker positions the tank truck 100 adjacent to the support pillar 10. In this embodiment, the rear end of the tank truck 100 is positioned facing the support pillar 10. The worker passes one end of the sling 21 in FIG. 2 (the end opposite the hook 22) through a gap in the tank truck 100 from below, as shown in FIG. 4A. For example, the gap is provided between the tank of the tank truck 100 and the body frame.
[0042] Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the worker passes the hook 22 through the loop portion at the one end of the sling 21, wraps the sling 21 around the tank truck 100, and secures it.
[0043] Finally, as shown in Fig. 4C, the worker hooks the hook 22 onto the hook mounting portion 15 (eye nut) to moor the tank truck 100. As a result, the tank truck 100 can be moored to the support 10. In this case, by using the deformable sling 21 at the connecting portion 20, the worker can easily perform the connection work.
[0044] In the example shown in Fig. 1, by placing the tank truck 100 with its back to the sea, the area on which the tank truck 100 is subjected to the drag of seawater is reduced, and the burden on the sling 21 and the support pillar 10 can also be reduced. From this perspective, it is desirable to connect one of the front or rear ends of the tank truck 100 to the support pillar 10. When changing the position of the tank truck 100, it is sufficient to ensure safety by selecting components so that each component has the strength required under conditions where the drag of seawater is greatest (worst conditions).
[0045] The mooring device 1 according to this embodiment has a simple configuration with only a few components, namely, the support posts 10 and the connecting parts 20. In this case, the specifications of each component can be changed depending on the expected tsunami flow speed, flood depth, and vehicle weight of the tank truck 100 in the area where the mooring device 1 is moored. Below, we will explain the resistance that the tank truck 100 experiences when the wave flow speed is 1 m / sec and 3 m / sec.
[0046] According to the Tsunami Drift Debris Countermeasure Facility Design Guidelines, the drag force FD per unit length due to seawater can be calculated using the following equation 1.
number
number
[0047] In Equation 1, Cw is the drag coefficient, which is set to 2.01 in consideration of total blockage. φ is the shielding factor, which is set to 1 in consideration of total blockage. γw is the unit volume weight of seawater, which is 10.10 (kN / m 3 ) H is the tsunami inundation depth, which is 2.0 (m). V is the tsunami flow velocity, which is 1 or 3 (m / sec). g is the gravitational acceleration, which is 9.81 (m / s 2 ) Furthermore, L in Equation 2 is the overall length of the tank truck 100, which is set to 11.98 (m) here.
[0048] In the above equations (1) and (2), when the tsunami flow velocity is 1 m / sec, the drag force per unit length is FD = 2.07 (kN / m) and the drag force F' = 24.79 (kN). When the tsunami flow velocity is 3 m / sec, the drag force per unit length is FD = 18.62 (kN / m) and the drag force F' = 223.12 (kN). By varying the above parameters, the mooring device 1 can be designed according to the usage conditions. Then, based on the drag force F' shown above, components such as the support 10, sling 21, mounting bolt 14, hook mounting portion 15, and hook 22 can be selected. Note that a wire rope, mooring rope, or other wire material may be used instead of the sling 21. Furthermore, other engaging members may be used instead of the hook 22.
[0049] Fig. 5 is another plan view showing two transport vehicles moored by a vehicle mooring device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a plurality of tank trucks 100 are arranged side by side in the area where the tank trucks 100 are moored, on the opposite side of the support pillar 10 from the sea, with the longitudinal direction of the tank trucks 100 extending toward the sea. As shown in Fig. 5, a plurality of tank trucks 100 may be arranged side by side so that the direction connecting the support pillar 10 and the sea is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the tank trucks 100.
[0050] 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D are plan views showing how the two tank trucks 100 in FIG. 5 are moved by waves. Even if multiple tank trucks 100 are arranged as in FIG. 5, it is assumed that the tank trucks 100 will rotate around the support columns 10 as axes depending on the direction of the flowing water indicated by the arrows, and ultimately the arrangement will be similar to that in FIG. 1. In this case, other members and structures located seaward of the tank truck 100 will first collide with the upstream tank truck 100A (FIG. 5), and therefore it is possible to protect the tank truck 100B from these collisions.
[0051] As described above, in this embodiment, even if a tsunami or high tide occurs, the tank trucks 100 can be quickly moored and prevented from flowing into the surrounding area. In an emergency such as the one described above, minor damage due to interference between tank trucks 100 is within the expected range, and by firmly mooring the tank trucks 100, they can be prevented from flowing out of the premises and interference with surrounding facilities can be prevented, thereby preventing secondary disasters.
[0052] In particular, by arranging the support 10 of the mooring device 1 inside the facility and shortening the travel range of the tank truck 100 as much as possible in the event of an emergency, it is possible to reduce travel time.
[0053] Furthermore, by mooring one or two tank trucks 100 to one support pillar 10, it becomes possible to place them in a space-saving manner within the facility. In this case, by using an independent connection part 20 to one support pillar 10, each tank truck 100 can be firmly moored.
[0054] Furthermore, the mooring device 1 can be simply configured with a small number of components, including the support pole 10, hook mounting portion 15, sling 21, and hook 22. In this case, the use of the sling 21 can be effective against heavy loads such as those caused by tsunamis. Furthermore, because the sling 21 is made of fabric, it can be flexibly wrapped around a portion of the tank truck 100, enabling quick mooring work. Furthermore, because the sling 21 can be easily engaged with a portion of the tank truck 100, the tank truck 100 can be easily and quickly moored even if the vehicle does not have a towing bracket.
[0055] The mooring device 1 described above is characterized by the following mooring method. The mooring method is a method for mooring a tank truck 100 having a storage section for liquid or gas in an area adjacent to the sea. The method includes a vehicle placement step of placing the tank truck 100 adjacent to a support 10 fixed to the ground in the area, and a connection step of connecting the tank truck 100 to a hook mounting portion 15 provided on the support 10 with a connection portion 20.
[0056] According to this method, by connecting the tank truck 100 and the support 10 using the connection part 20, it is possible to quickly moor the tank truck 100 and prevent the tank truck 100 from being washed away even in the event of a tsunami or high tide.
[0057] In the above method, the connection step may include using a sling 21 as the connection part 20, the sling 21 having one end having a loop shape and the other end opposite the one end, and a hook 22 that is arranged at the other end of the sling 21 and can engage with the hook mounting part 15, and engaging a ring-shaped part formed by passing the other end of the sling 21 through the loop part at the one end with a part of the tank truck 100, while engaging the hook 22 with the hook mounting part 15, thereby connecting the support 10 and the tank truck 100.
[0058] According to this method, the sling 21 can be easily engaged with a part of the tank truck 100 by passing the other end of the sling 21 through the loop portion (loop portion) on one end side.
[0059] In the above method, the vehicle placement process may include arranging the multiple tank trucks 100 in a line in the width direction so that one longitudinal end of each of the multiple tank trucks 100 faces the support pillar 10, and the connection process may include connecting the one end of each of the multiple tank trucks 100 to the support pillar 10 using the multiple connection parts 20.
[0060] According to this method, a plurality of tank trucks 100 can be moored by one support 10.
[0061] In the above method, the connection process may include connecting one of the hook mounting portions 15 provided on the support 10 to one end of one tank truck 100A among the plurality of tank trucks 100 by one of the connection portions 20, while connecting another of the hook mounting portions 15 different from the one of the hook mounting portions 15 provided on the support 10 to one end of another of the plurality of tank trucks 100 different from the one tank truck 100A by another connection portion 20 different from the one connection portion 20.
[0062] According to this method, each tank truck 100 can be securely moored to one support 10 using an independent connection part 20 .
[0063] In the above method, the vehicle placement process may include placing the multiple tank trucks 100 side by side in the area at a position opposite the sea from the support pillar 10, with the longitudinal direction of the tank trucks 100 extending toward the sea.
[0064] According to this method, the drag force that the tank truck 100 receives from seawater can be reduced.
[0065] In the above method, the vehicle arrangement step may include arranging the plurality of tank trucks 100 side by side in the area so that the direction connecting the support 10 and the sea intersects (is perpendicular to) the longitudinal direction of the tank trucks 100. Note that the perpendicularity may include some angular variation.
[0066] According to this method, one tank truck 100A can protect the other tank truck 100B from impact.
[0067] The vehicle mooring device and vehicle mooring method according to the present invention are not necessarily limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the following configurations may be adopted.
[0068] Fig. 7 is a side view showing the structure of a vehicle mooring device according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a rear view showing the support pole of a vehicle mooring device according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. In the previous embodiment, the support pole 10 is disposed on the ground, but the present invention is not limited to this. In Figs. 7 and 8, the mooring device 1 further includes a support pole installation pipe 10S (storage pipe).
[0069] The pole installation pipe 10S has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pole 10 and is buried underground. The pole installation pipe 10S can accommodate the pole 10 inside. In this case, the pole 10 does not protrude above ground, so it is unlikely to interfere with work in the surrounding area under normal circumstances.
[0070] In this modified embodiment, in the event of a tsunami or high tide, the tank truck 100 can be connected to the support pole 10 by the connection part 20 including the sling 21, thereby mooring the tank truck 100. This prevents the tank truck 100 from drifting away. A sealing part (manhole) (not shown) may be provided at the upper end of the support pole installation pipe 10S. In this case, when the mooring device 1 is not used, vehicles can safely pass over the support pole installation pipe 10S. In this case, by connecting the sealing part to the support pole 10 or the support pole installation pipe 10S in advance with an auxiliary connecting member (not shown), the sealing part can be prevented from being washed away by waves. The connection part 20 may also be accommodated in the gap between the sealing part and the support pole 10.
[0071] Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, two tank trucks 100 are moored to the support pillar 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. One tank truck 100 may be moored to one support pillar 10, or three or more tank trucks 100 may be moored to one support pillar 10. In this case, for example, two mounting bolts 14 may be arranged on the support pillar body 11 of the support pillar 10 so as to be perpendicular to each other in a plan view, and a total of four hook mounting portions 15 may be arranged using both ends of each mounting bolt 14.
[0072] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the base plate 12 of the support 10 is described as being fixed to the ground by a plurality of bolts, but other fixing methods may also be used, such as fixing the support 10 by embedding the support body 11 in the ground.
[0073] Furthermore, as described above, the transport vehicle exemplified by the tank truck 100 may be a trailer, a truck, or other form. In this case, the transport vehicle may have transport equipment exemplified by the storage unit, or the transport equipment may be detachable. [Explanation of symbols]
