Description

Self-propelled ship built by assembling prefabricated modules

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the manufacture, transport, use and installation of prefabricated modular assemblies for use in the construction of land based buildings, shorelines and floating structures.

Background

The existing large ships and offshore operation platforms are usually built in a sectional mode in the building process, and finally closure of the ship body is completed through welding engineering, so that the building operation engineering is time-consuming and consumes huge manpower and financial resources; meanwhile, the ship often faces a great overturning risk in the launching process.

The traditional underwater construction mainly refers to a construction mode of underwater pouring concrete or non-dispersing concrete, the stirring of the concrete and the improvement of the self property of a mixture are realized through additives to resist the washing of water, and therefore, the underwater concrete is required to have good workability and fluidity maintaining capacity.

Disclosure of Invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a readily transportable structural assembly that can be used to control shoreline erosion, a novel assembly mode for large vessels. The size, shape and proportions of such modules should be compatible with existing truck, rail car and marine modes of transportation (i.e., multi-modal intermodal) and compatible with existing material handling equipment. The modular assembly should be transportable in sections for installation by land, water or heavy helicopters, airships, airplanes, moving them to docks in the shore area.

It is a further object of this invention to provide such structural components, such as partially enclosed containers, which are lightweight but can be filled with available liquid or solid materials at the installation site, adding substantially to their mass at a low cost.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a modular structural assembly which, when installed as part of a structure, can be filled with solids, gases or liquids to increase its mass while serving as a sealed storage container for such materials for subsequent use.

It is another object of the present invention to provide modular structural members having maximum mass when filled with ballast material and installed in a structure, the mass of such members being required to be maximized in order to enable the structure to resist the large forces generated by storms, ocean currents, floods, debris flows, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a multi-modal intermodal device of prefabricated modules that can be used as a fixed or floating building element for various civil, marine, commercial or military construction projects. These components may be connected together to form embankments, fixed or floating bridges, dams, rigs, floating or fixed airport runways or helidecks, temporary or permanent shipping ports, temporary military or naval facilities, such as maintenance and material supplies for ports.

The prefabricated module assembly according to the present invention preferably has the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, which can be transported and assembled to form a shoreline fixed-slope wave protection structure. As an alternative to such wear-resistant material modules, similar modules may be made of a material selected from metal, wood, plastic and polymer composite materials. A box of such material may be coated at least on its outer surface with marine cement. Modules made of metal or other materials may be coated with various suitable materials to make them weather resistant, liquid resistant, and corrosion resistant. Any of these modules may form a closed hexagonal or semi-hexagonal cross-section (i.e., a hexagon cut in half edge-to-edge or side-to-side).

When the modules are prefabricated, they may comprise reinforcing bars of metallic or non-metallic material, preferably including brackets cast around at least a portion of the outer edges of the modules. The reinforcement may comprise fibers, strands, cords, nets or rods composed of metal, polymer composites and carbon, polymer or glass fibers. Additionally or alternatively, the hexagonal and semi-hexagonal modules may include such reinforcements in at least a portion of the top, bottom, and side panels thereof. The metallic or non-metallic rebar can include cables, rebar, and beams of various suitable sizes and cross-sections.

Such modules for assembling a floating platform or vessel preferably have a completely open and unobstructed cross-section for use in the available space within such platform or vessel.

Various types of floating platforms or vessels, including rectangular or hexagonal and half-hexagonal modules, may be used in marine or offshore areas that will be exposed to rough seas, billows, high winds and other stormy weather features. To mitigate the effects of such winds and waves, portions of such modules may be provided on at least two sides thereof to absorb the energy available in the waves impacting the wings.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, a perspective view of a prefabricated module for constructing a breakwater or the like, prefabricated modules of various sizes may be used for various site-specific conditions. For example, modules of prefabricated breakwaters come in various sizes, for example, about 6 feet wide, 8 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 3 inches thick.

Such perforated or slotted module bodies may serve other functions in addition to the purpose of anchoring piers or other members. Since a wave impacting the surface of such a module will be partially interrupted or deflected and partially absorbed by the channels of at least one side of the module (i.e. the perforations or grooves), its force will be at least partially resolved. During wave impact, the water within the module is still largely stored inside. Such modules may therefore be used as an integral part of a breakwater.

As shown in fig. 2, floating platform 798 is designed with at least one layer of modules (the interconnection of which is shown by boundary 798B in fig. 2) to act as the hull of yacht or other vessel 821. It will carry the intended load of the superstructure in a stable manner without exceeding the draft of the vessel mooring or operating waters. Although a platform with a defined conical bow is required for vessels that are often moved by self-propulsion (e.g., suitable in-ship power plant and at least one propeller 798A) or towing as shown, the yacht to be permanently moored or anchored may be substantially rectangular. The proposition to avoid building houses on the shore property shows: as coastal property is subject to erosion and interference from the natural forces in the beach environment. Instead, one can use such a module by arranging a triangular section of two adjacent sides of a hexagon connected by a straight line on a floating living platform. In this way, the vessel may be made up of modules of at least three sizes or shapes, each of which is independently watertight, so that the vessel is unlikely to face the risk of sinking.
