Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments that embody features and advantages of the invention are described in detail below in the specification. It is to be understood that the invention is capable of other embodiments and that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention and the description and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
As shown in fig. 1 to 15, the offshore installation method of the offshore platform propeller of the present embodiment is to install the propeller 2 at the bottom of the pontoon 3, specifically, at the propeller chamber 31 of the pontoon 3. The method comprises the following steps:
step S100, the propeller 2 is immersed in seawater outside the buoy 3, so that the propeller 2 is respectively connected with a deck crane of the platform and a lifting rope assembly 5 penetrating through the buoy 3. Wherein, the tail end of the lifting rope component 5 is connected with the propeller 2 after penetrating out from the bottom of the buoy 3.
And S200, lowering the propeller 2 by using the deck crane to enable the propeller to be positioned at the water depth position below the bottom plate of the buoy 3.
Step S300, the propeller 2 is pulled by the lifting rope assembly 5, and the position of the propeller 2 is adjusted to be right below the buoy 3.
And S400, lifting the propeller 2 to the bottom of the buoy 3 through the lifting rope assembly 5 and fixedly installing.
The flotation pontoon 3 of this embodiment sets up in the bottom of platform stand 11, at three lifting jack 7 of the top fixed mounting of flotation pontoon 3, will mark three lifting rope subassembly 5 of different colours and be connected with three lifting jack 7 respectively. Wherein, as shown in fig. 3, the lift cord assembly 5 comprises: a lift cord 51, a locking knob 52 at the tail end of the lift cord 51, and a shackle 53, the shackle 53 being adapted to be connected to the thruster 2. The lift cords 51 are threaded into the risers 32 of the thruster well 31 of the buoy 3, with the lift jacks 7 being used to release or lock the lift cord assemblies 5. Preferably, the three lift line assemblies 5 are evenly distributed in the vertical direction of the thruster well 31 and their tail ends are passed out from the bottom of the pontoon 3. In this embodiment, three lift cord assemblies 5 are distributed at locations around the propeller shaft.
It should be noted that the number of lifting jacks 7 corresponds to the number of lift cord assemblies 5.
In practice, the distribution of the three lift cord assemblies 5 in the thruster well 31 may also be non-uniform and is not limited here.
Three soft belts 8 with different colors are preset at the hanging point position of the propeller 2, so that the propeller 2 is connected with the tail end of the lifting rope assembly 5 by using the soft belts 8 according to color classification, namely, connected with the bow shackle 53 at the tail end of the lifting rope assembly 5, so that the hanging point of the propeller 2 corresponds to the final installation position.
In actual use, the soft belt 8 at the suspension point position of the thruster 2 may be omitted.
It should be noted that: three hoisting points on the propeller 2 can reach the installation state of the propeller 2 in the process that the propeller 2 is lifted to the bottom of the buoy 3 from the position right below the buoy 3, namely the installation shaft of the propeller 2 faces upwards, and the paddle faces downwards, so that the propeller can be directly connected with the installation socket after being lifted to the place.
In other embodiments, the number of lifting rope assemblies 5, lifting jacks 7 and soft belts 8 may again be more than three.
In step S100, immersing the propeller 2 in the seawater outside the pontoon 3 includes: the thruster 2 is placed at the position of the open deck, the position is positioned in the working radius range of the deck crane of the platform per se corresponding to the load, and the thruster 2 is lowered to the seawater immersed outside the buoy 3 by the deck crane.
In actual operation, if the lifting load of the deck lifting hook of the platform is smaller than the weight of the propeller 2 when the propeller 2 is arranged, the propeller 2 can be immersed into the sea in advance, the load of the deck lifting hook is reduced due to the buoyancy of seawater, the amplitude variation angle of the deck lifting arm is slowly reduced at the moment, the working radius of the deck lifting arm is gradually increased until the deck lifting hook reaches the position close to the arrangement position of the propeller 2, the propeller 2 is lifted to be close to the water surface at the moment, and then the deck lifting hook is connected with the lifting rope assembly 5.
Referring to fig. 2, 4, 5 and 6, the step of connecting the pusher 2 to the lift cord assembly 5 includes: the tail end of the lifting rope component 5 penetrates out of the bottom of the buoy 3 and then winds up to the outer side of the top of the buoy 3, and the tail end of the lifting rope component 5 is connected with the propeller 2. Further, a group of hauling ropes 6 is provided, the upper ends of which are fixed on the top of the buoy 3, and in this embodiment, the upper ends of which are fixedly connected with a lifting jack 7; the lower extreme of haulage rope 6 is followed 3 outsides of flotation pontoon and is transferred the back and is linked to each other with the tail end of lifting rope subassembly 5, receive and draw haulage rope 6 and release lifting rope subassembly 5 simultaneously and wind the tail end of lifting rope subassembly 5 to 3 tops outsides of flotation pontoon.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, before step S200, the pull-cord 6 is released so that the tail end of the lift-cord assembly 5 is lowered with the pusher 2 until the pull-cord 6 is released from any tension and the connection of the pull-cord 6 to the lift-cord assembly 5 is released. Specifically, a worker standing on the top of the buoy 3 releases the hauling rope 6 to lower the hoist rope assembly 5 until the hauling rope 6 is free of any pulling force, and then the diver dives into the water to remove the hauling rope 6; then the thruster 2 is continuously lowered by the deck crane to reach the depth of the water below the bottom plate of the pontoon 3.
As shown in fig. 9, before the step S300 "pulling the pusher with the lift cord assembly" further includes: the deck crane is rotated to horizontally move the propeller 2 towards the buoy 3 until the lifting rope 41 of the deck crane is attached to the outer wall of the buoy 3, and then the deck crane is locked.
Referring to fig. 10 to 13, for the sake of clarity, the right side of the drawing sheet is outboard and the left side of the drawing sheet is inboard. In step S300, the three lift cord assemblies 5 are slowly retrieved using the lift jacks 7 until the lift cords 51 are fully tightened. Then, one of the outboard lift cord assemblies 5 is locked, and the thruster 2 is pulled toward the inboard installation position by the two inboard lift cord assemblies 5 to bring the thruster 2 into a vertical state. The vertical state is a state in which the propeller 2 is mounted with the mounting shaft facing upward. In the adjusting process, the tension of the lifting rope assembly 5 needs to be observed, and the tension of the lifting rope assembly 5 is ensured not to exceed the rated safe load of the lifting lug of the propeller 2; if the lifting load is close to the safe load of the lifting lugs of the thruster 2, it is necessary to stop the lifting jack 7 in time, while releasing the thruster 2 again downwards by means of the deck crane.
Further, after the step of adjusting the position of the thruster 2 to be right below the buoy 3, the method further comprises the following steps: the connection of the thruster 2 and the deck crane is released.
In step S400, the lengths of the lift cord assemblies 5 are adjusted by the lift jacks 7, as in fig. 14 and 15, ensuring that the lengths of the final three lift cord assemblies 5 are as long; preferably, the lengths of the three lift cord assemblies 5 are determined to be as long by markings marked on the lift cord assemblies 5. Then, the lifting jack 7 is utilized to start to lift the lifting rope assembly 5 vertically upwards, when the propeller 2 reaches the socket at the bottom of the buoy 3, a diver checks the centering condition of the shaft of the propeller 2 and the socket, if necessary, the position of the propeller 2 is adjusted through the lifting jack 7 until the propeller 2 is lifted to the installation position in the socket, and finally, the diver releases the connection of the lifting rope assembly 5 to complete the installation engineering of the propeller 2.
The offshore installation method of the offshore platform propeller disclosed by the invention automatically completes the installation of the propeller when the deck of the platform is hung offshore, overcomes the problem that the propeller needs to be replaced and installed when the platform is in shore or in a dock in the prior art, greatly shortens the maintenance period and reduces the operation cost of the platform.
