Description

Device and system for underwater jacket

The present patent application is directed to an apparatus and system for a jacket, or more specifically, an adjustment apparatus for an underwater jacket, and an adjustment system.

The purpose of the underwater foundation jacket (also known as the water operating platform or the underwater work platform) is to provide a platform for the personnel to work in the water. The basic platform size can provide only a foothold for the personnel as described above, and the larger platform can further package other equipment, such as oil drilling platforms, wind power platforms and the like. The platform can stand on the water surface mainly by fixing one end of the bracket (ie, the jacket) to the underwater formation, and the other end is connected with the platform.

A typical base jacket is to measure the depth of the water in advance and the fixed position of the opposite platform, and further fix the platform to the jacket after the jacket is fixed to the underwater formation. Or, after fixing the jacket to the water layer, further measuring the preferred horizontal position, and further fixing the platform to the jacket. Therefore, according to the above, the platform cannot be further adjusted after being fixed to the jacket. In addition, it is necessary to further detect the relevant parameters in the re-water (for example, depth, preferred horizontal adjustment angle, etc.) before installing the catheter dummy. Therefore, it takes a lot of time to start the preparation process at the beginning, and the intermediate process can withstand the change and is therefore relatively strict. Further, it is irreversible after the platform is installed.

Generally speaking, the horizontal state of the platform will affect the effectiveness of the subsequent construction, especially the large-scale underwater work platform, which will affect the overall safety. However, most of the underwater base jackets are placed at sea level, so they are subject to natural factors that increase their inaccurate values. In addition, natural climatic factors can have a significant impact on the installation of the jacket, such as the structural changes in the submarine formation after the typhoon. In addition, it may happen that the installation is in an accurate position, but it needs to be further adjusted again during a period of time because of changes in the natural environment. However, according to the above, the current installation method of the underwater base jacket is pre-measured, and it cannot be adjusted in time according to existing parameters or positions, and cannot be further adjusted after the installation is fixed. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and money to perform this related project. There is therefore a need for a device that provides immediate correction and can also be further adjusted after installation of the platform.

Therefore, the subject matter of the present patent application is to design an adjusting device for a base jacket in water, which mainly comprises: a first sleeve, a second sleeve and an adjustment module. And, the adjustment device can be further used in an adjustment system. In addition, the method provided is mainly to adjust the method of operating the system, and the main objective is to improve or maintain the adjuster quality and adjustment efficiency of the underwater jacket in the water, and also provide a more cost-effective device and action scheme.

First, the working portion 30 mainly includes the adjusting device 10 and the support member 201 as described herein, and the inner diameter of the first sleeve 11 and the second sleeve 12 in the adjusting device 10 (and The central perforation is larger than the diameter of the support member 201, that is, the support member 201 can be accommodated in the first sleeve 11 and the second sleeve 12, as shown in FIG. 3B. One end of the support member 201 (which is the other distal end that is engaged with the adjustment device 10) is used to stand in the formation of the sea floor. In addition, when the adjusting device 10 is engaged on the support member 201, the position of the first sleeve 11 in the adjusting device 10 should be farther away from the sea floor with respect to the second sleeve 12. In other words, the first sleeve 11 should be located above the second sleeve 12). Also, the first sleeve 11 should remain fixed with the support member 201, and the second sleeve 12 can move along the support member 201.

Additionally, the portion of the system body in adjustment system 20 primarily includes pedestal 202. The bottom end of the pedestal 202 is fixedly coupled to the second sleeve 12 in the working portion 30. Therefore, when the second sleeve 12 is movable along the support member 201, one end of the fixed connection of the pedestal 202 and the second sleeve 12 is also coupled to cause movement. From the above, one of ordinary skill in the art can understand that the position of the adjustment system 20 for the underwater base jacket can be adjusted in the water by the adjusting device 10 in the working portion 30, more specifically Said to include whether the position is parallel to the horizontal plane or relative to the underwater formation. Further, the adjustment system 20 further includes a detection module 2021 and a control module 301. The detection module 2021 is disposed in the pedestal 202 and coupled to the pedestal 202. The control module 301 is disposed in the working portion 30 and is disposed with the adjustment device 10 The power source 16 and the detection module 2021 are connected. The foregoing connection method may be a telecommunication connection or a telecommunication connection, and the signal may be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. Wherein the detection module The function of 2021 is mainly to generate actual parameters and standard parameters, and compare the actual parameters with the standard parameters to generate correction parameters, transmit the correction parameters to the control module 301, and utilize the control The module 301 adjusts the power source 16 of the adjustment device 10.

In an embodiment, the adjustment system for the underwater base jacket comprises only one work portion 30. Therefore, the working portion 30 is located at a center of gravity in the pedestal 202 to ensure that the pedestal 202 as a whole can maintain a balanced state regardless of whether it is in a moving or final fixed state. In another embodiment, the adjustment system for the underwater base jacket comprises at least one work portion 30.

And in the preferred embodiment, the adjustment system for the underwater base jacket is more specifically an offshore wind power platform. In addition, the four working units 30 each have a control module 301, and the detecting module 2021 is located at the top of the pedestal 202. Therefore, the offshore wind power generation platform can use its top detection module 2021 to control each working portion 30 to adjust whether the overall state is level with respect to the sea level. In addition, the power source 16 of the adjusting device 10 of the four working portions 30 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the relevant parameters of the adjusting device 10 are as shown in Table 1 below.
