Technical Field

The present invention relates to a floating type water support device, and more particularly, to a floating type water support device capable of horizontally maintaining and supporting a structure on the sea.

Background

The global warming problem caused by the generation of carbon dioxide has increased attention to environmental protection energy. The investment in wind power generation has increased and many wind power generators have been installed on land. However, on the land, not only the wind force is not strong but also another environmental problem due to noise is generated due to the frictional force with the ground, so that the efficiency is not high. Therefore, offshore wind power has recently been gaining importance. Since offshore wind power requires high engineering costs to install a supporting device for fixing the wind turbine on the seabed, a method for installing an offshore wind turbine using a floating type supporting device has been developed.

Not only an offshore wind turbine but also a conventional floating support device for supporting an offshore structure is focused on securing safety and preventing inversion due to a rotational moment generated by a floating motion of the floating support device. However, the following problems exist: due to the shaking caused by sea waves, the floating type supporting device shakes left and right, and the offshore structure can not maintain a horizontal state, so that the floating type supporting device shakes left and right. Therefore, a floating type water support device capable of maintaining a structure in a horizontal state without shaking from side to side even if there are sea waves has been recently developed in korean laid-open patent No. 10-2017-0051204 and korean laid-open patent No. 10-2017-0051205.

Detailed Description

An embodiment of the floating support apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

One embodiment of the floating support apparatus of the present invention includes a ball 10, a floating mechanism 15, a support bar 26, a stopper 35, a blocking cover 40, and a reinforcing mechanism 50.

The floating mechanism 15 supports the ball 10 in such a manner that the ball 10 can rotate. For this purpose, the floating mechanism 15 includes a floating portion 16 and a ball cover 19. The floating portion 16 may be formed of a single floating body or a combination of a plurality of separable floating bodies, and the receiving portion 16a for receiving the ball 10 may be formed in the central portion 16_ 1. In the present embodiment, the floating body 16 is formed by combining the first floating body 17a and the second floating body 17 b. The first floating body 17a has a receiving portion 16a formed at the central portion 16_1, and is cut at one side so that the support rod 26 can rotate up and down on the first floating body 17a around the ball 10. The second floating body 17b is coupled to the cut portion of the first floating body 17 a.

The ball cover 19 covers the ball 10 so as to be rotatable without separating the ball 10 from the receiving portion 16a, and is coupled to the floating portion 16. In this case, the ball cover 19 may be divided into a plurality of pieces. In this case, the ball cover 19 preferably includes a ball bearing (not shown) in a portion that contacts the ball 10 in order to reduce friction with the ball 10.

The support mechanism 25 is used for mounting a structure such as a wind turbine on water. For this purpose, the support mechanism includes a support rod 26 and a gravity weight 28.

The support rod 26 is attached to a structure such as a wind power generator at one end 26a and is coupled to the ball 10. At this time, the support rod 26 is preferably coupled in a manner to be slidable along the ball 10.

A gravity weight 28 is coupled to the other end of the support bar 26. The support bar 26 may be coupled to the ball 10, and the ball 10 may rotate relative to the float 16. Therefore, when the weight 28 is coupled to the other end of the support bar 26, the weight 28 is sunk into the water so that the support bar 26 is vertically erected. The gravity weight 28 may be supplied with a fluid to increase the weight, or may be made of a material having a high specific gravity such as steel. When supplying the fluid to the gravity weight 28, it is preferable that an inlet port capable of supplying the fluid to the gravity weight 28 and an outlet port capable of discharging air inside are formed.

On the other hand, the weight 28 may be omitted, and in this case, the other end should be formed heavier than the one end 26a so that the support bar 26 stands vertically in the water with the one end 26a facing upward and the other end facing downward. Also, the support rod 26 may supply fluid such as water to the inside of the other end to increase the weight. Therefore, the support rod 26 is preferably formed with an inlet port into which fluid can be injected and an outlet port from which air inside can be discharged.

The stop 35 prevents the support rod 26 from sliding along the ball 10.

The blocking cover 40 is mounted on the receiving portion 16a receiving the ball 10 in such a manner that water can be prevented from flowing into the ball 10.

The reinforcing mechanism 50 serves to prevent the float part 16 from being damaged. Since the support mechanism 25 is supported by the floating portion 16, the load of the support mechanism 25 is concentrated on the central portion 16_1 of the floating portion 16 where the accommodating portion 16a is formed. Therefore, the central portion 16_1 may be damaged by an excessive load. To prevent this, the reinforcing mechanism 50 may include a cable 51 and a strut 53. The cable 51 has one end coupled to the central portion 16_1 of the floating portion 16 and the other end coupled to the outer portion 16_2 of the floating portion 16. The stay 53 is coupled to the upper portion of the float part 16 so as to be able to tighten the cable 51 and support the central part 16_1, thereby supporting the cable 51.

The present embodiment can be used when installing a wind turbine or the like offshore. At this time, it is important to maintain the wind turbine in a horizontal state. However, in the floating type supporting device, the waves of the waves cause the shaking of the supporting device, and thus it is difficult to maintain the horizontal state. The floating type water support device of the present embodiment can maintain the structure supported by the support bar 26 in a horizontal state even if it is shaken by sea waves.

The floating mechanism 15 can float on water, and therefore the floating support device of the present embodiment can be easily transported to the sea using a barge or the like. At this time, the support bar 26 is horizontally placed and conveyed. After the second floating body 17b is transported to the sea, the second floating body 17b is separated from the first floating body 17a, and then the fluid is supplied to the gravity weight 28. This is because the support rod 26 can be rotated by the cut portion of the first floating body 17a after the second floating body 17b is separated. Thereby, the other end of the support bar 26 is weighted by the weight hammer 28 and sunk into the sea, so that the support bar 26 stands vertically. The support rod 26 is vertically erected to combine the second floating body 17b with the first floating body 17a and to install the blocking cover 40 on the lower portion of the receiving part 16a, thereby preventing water from being supplied into the ball 10. A structure such as a wind turbine is attached to the one end 26a of the support rod 26. The structure such as the wind turbine generator can be attached in a state where the stopper 35 is released and the support rod 26 is slid downward, and then the stopper 35 is fastened and the support rod 26 is fixed to be slid. After the structure is installed, the stopper 35 may be released from the fastening, and the support bar 26 may be raised to a desired height.

When the stopper 35 is fastened, the load of the support rod 26 is concentrated on the central portion 16_1 of the floating portion 16. The central portion 16_1 may be deformed and damaged, but since the cable 51 supports the load acting on the central portion 16_1 of the floating portion 16, the floating portion 16 can be prevented from being damaged.

When the waves shake, the float 16 may shake from side to side due to the waves. Even if the floating portion 16 rotates, the support rod 26 is supported by the ball 10, and the ball 10 is rotatably coupled to the floating portion 16, so that the support rod 26 can maintain a vertical state. So that the structure mounted on the support bar 26 can be maintained in a horizontal state.

Figure 7 is another embodiment of the floating marine support of the present invention. In the embodiment of fig. 7, the float part 16 may include a first floating body 17a and a second floating body 17b which can be separated. In this way, the float portion 16 can be deformed into various shapes.

Figure 8 is a further embodiment of the floating marine support of the present invention. In the embodiment of fig. 8, the float part 16 is provided with a first float body 17a and a door 18. The door 18 is installed on the cut portion of the first floating body 17a and opens and closes the cut portion. Therefore, the support rod 26 can be rotated up and down of the float part 16 by the cut portion of the float body 17a when the door 18 is opened, and can be prevented from rotating up and down when the door 18 is closed.

Figure 9 is a further embodiment of the floating marine support of the present invention. In the embodiment of figure 9, the floating marine support means further comprises a winch 45. The hoist 45 is used to fix the floating mechanism 15 to the sea, and is installed on the floating mechanism 15. When the bottom of the sea is provided with the tetrapods, the cable can be laid down by the winch 45 and fixed to the tetrapods. Thereby fixing the floating water supporting device of this embodiment to the sea. Therefore, since the winch 45 is provided, the floating type water support device of the present embodiment can be prevented from being washed away by the sea current.

Figures 10 and 11 show a further embodiment of the floating water support of the present invention. In the embodiment of fig. 10 and 11, the floating portion 16 internally houses the other end of the support rod 26. In the case of a wave, the support bar 26 should not be affected by the waves even if the floating portion 16 is shaken by the waves. If the other end of the support bar 26 is accommodated inside the float part 16, it is not affected by the waves at all, so that the support bar 26 can be maintained in a vertical state more safely.
