Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floating element, in particular for the transport of loads, comprising at least one floating body.
  • the constructive principle of floating elements for transporting loads has been known since ancient times, i.
  • the floating element is formed by a buoyant hull, which consists of the previous, classic shipbuilding materials such as wood, metal and more recently made of plastic composites.
  • said constructive principle has not been abandoned as open-topped or closed float to or on which loads have been loaded for transport.
  • Such floating elements are referred to as barges, barges or lighter and are used mainly in rivers, canals, lakes, but also in the margins of seas and even on the open sea (Soul Seal) for the transport of loads.
  • Floating elements of this type are either pushed by a drive unit (push bandage) or pulled by a drive unit (classic towing operation). At times, such floating elements have a self-propelled, eg. The so-called. Inland vessels that carry on their own power on rivers, lakes and canals carried in them loads.
  • raft which has a shell made of concrete. This envelope is either filled with a buoyant foam or left hollow.
  • the concrete shell itself is reinforced at certain points, especially in corners.
  • the problem is solved by the features of claim 1.
  • a material block with a specific weight of the material of ⁇ 1 as a buoyant body has the enormous advantage over classic floating structures that this can be practically produced in one go as a block and, since this is not usually bound to a particular hull shape, As is the case with classic floats, such a block, as desired, can be produced by using only a small cost for the material and for the production process as such, the block-shaped form of the float not being fundamentally turned down to the special hull design of classic floating elements be needed, so that, as also sought, a significant weight saving compared to classic swimming elements is possible.
  • the material blocks can be e.g. cast in the mold and are generally much easier to work than, for example, metal, which is used to form previous float or hull.
  • the float according to the invention forming material block can be formed substantially homogeneous, the float is also advantageously, as also desired objects, very robust against mechanical influences during transport, loading and unloading of loads transported so as well as against damage.
  • the material forming the floating body can basically be any suitable plastic, for example polyurethane or foamed polyurethane.
  • any suitable plastics can be used without restrictions, provided that they have the required mechanical strength and have resistance to the liquid medium, such as seawater, brackish water, river water and are also stable up to high levels of contamination by industrial wastewater. They are also capable of sinking the float, i.e., the float can not sink.
  • the material block of ceramic or ceramic foam ie such ceramic material having a plurality of closed cavities or includes in itself.
  • the float has at least one cavity.
  • the cavity can in principle be designed or configured as desired, but it has proved to be particularly advantageous to form this tubular, since in the course of the production of the float corresponding hollow body forming forms can be easily removed from the float when the formation of the floating body completed is.
  • the molds can also be left in the floating body after production and used, for example, as transport lines for fuel, as fuel tanks or as load carriers themselves.
  • the cavity is also formed coated, ie, for example.
  • a tube made of plastic, metal or any other suitable material thereby also to improve the mechanical stability of the hollow body.
  • the reinforcing means are, in particular, glass fibers and / or carbon fibers and / or metallic reinforcing means, such as longitudinal and / or transverse supports and struts extending to the floating body.
  • the floating body on its side facing away from the liquid medium on a first cover member, which is preferably formed in the form of a plate.
  • the cover element or the plate forming the cover element creates in the adjacent surface region of the float a stable support for the load to be transported and at the same time serves the uniform introduction of the forces acting on the float by the load forces. If several floats form the floating element, the first cover element also ensures that the force acting on the cover element force is introduced substantially uniformly due to the load in all floats
