Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single floating element and a floating body which can be built up in a modular manner from the individual floating elements.
  • a floating body is to be understood as a pontoon or swimming platform, which is usually firmly anchored and used as a water level-dependent carrier for various tasks. In contrast to the boat, it is usually transportable, but only partially suitable for driving. Pontoons do not have their own drive and, in contrast to ships without their own drive, usually do not have a streamlined shape. They are used for floating jetties, as swimming islands at bathing areas, for special rafts, for houseboats and floating houses, floating foundations for industrial and power plants. Pontoons are usually closed and air-filled.
  • Sheet steel and concrete are most frequently used as a shell, stiffener or trim body, and in combination with elements made of Styrofoam, polyurethane and Styrodur as a buoyancy body or buoyancy mass.
  • Wood, light metal and plastic constructions or several barrels are also used for smaller pontoons.
  • pontoons are known in the prior art which have cavities enclosed by concrete parts and / or concrete layers, which are at least partially filled with buoyancy mass, for example in DE 10 2011 100 627 A1 disclosed.
  • the buoyancy mass can for example have a foam core and / or air.
  • the pamphlet deals with DE 1 927 274 A with a floatable pontoon which can be driven on and which consists of a foam core surrounded by a cover made of glass fiber reinforced plastic.
  • the document provides U-shaped stiffeners arranged inside which are connected to the casing.
  • the pamphlet DE 1 95229 8 A deals with the improvement of the light bodies filled with foamed plastics, which are strengthened with glass fiber inserts or in the carbon process.
  • a buoyant body which has a support element which partially protrudes from the space-filling body and connection elements for connecting to superstructures or connection bodies for connecting with other pontoon elements.
  • the support element is designed as a kind of framework and serves to stabilize the pontoon body so that it does not warp. However, the support element is only resistant in one area. It is also arranged close to the side walls.
  • the pamphlets DE 10 2007 063 514 A1 such as EP000002226243A1 disclose a pontoon system made of stabilized individual floating elements as a foundation for holding platforms, buildings or technical facilities.
  • the individual floating elements consist of materials such as Polysterol, Styrodur, foam glass or the like and a framework for reinforcement at edges and corners, the corners in particular being additionally reinforced and the individual floating element being in the form of a block.
  • the structure of the reinforcements consists of materials such as sheet steel, synthetic resin-reinforced polyester fabric or the like.
  • the individual floating elements can be connected to one another through the scaffolding to form a pontoon system.
  • the Individual floating elements can also be arranged at a greater distance using appropriate frame constructions, so that arrangements of technical devices of different sizes, connected by struts of different lengths, can be implemented without any problems.
  • the field of application of the object is in the construction of floating plants and houses.
  • Disadvantages of the prior art include a complex and thus costly production of the pontoons and the use of costly and, in particular, environmentally unfriendly materials. Especially when using cement and / or concrete in very acidic waters, chemical reactions can lead to the dissolution of the concrete / cement structures. The result is that either the inner area of the pontoons, i.e. the hollow spaces filled with plastic foam, e.g. Styrofoam, are exposed and these get into the water and thus into the environment or concrete-plastic mixtures (plastic concrete, styrofoam lightweight concrete, etc.) dissolve and as a result, the smallest plastic particles get directly into the water.
  • plastic foam e.g. Styrofoam
  • buoyancy elements In addition, many floating bodies consist of hollow concrete structures that are open at the bottom, in the hollow bodies of which Styrofoam or other plastic blocks are housed as buoyancy elements. These buoyancy elements or bodies usually have direct contact with the surrounding water and are directly exposed to erosion, frost and / or other environmental influences.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a floating body to be constructed in a modular manner, the floating body being constructed by means of individual floating elements which are simply connected or coupled to one another to form larger floating units using simple technical tools and machines.
  • a couplable single floating element having the following components: at least two cuboid buoyancy elements and a framework, the framework having elongated hollow bodies which are arranged longitudinally, transversely and perpendicularly to one another.
  • the following is based on an arrangement of the couplable single floating element in a Cartesian coordinate system which has axes in the x, y and z directions so that the elongated hollow bodies are arranged in the x, y and z directions .
  • the elongated hollow bodies are coupled to one another by means of a first connecting element.
  • the frame has at least one second connecting element, the second connecting element being rod-shaped and being arranged in one of the elongated hollow bodies.
  • Each cuboid-shaped buoyancy element has bores along at least one of the axes, preferably in the x direction, and on at least one of its side surfaces (z or y direction) grooves.
  • a groove is an elongated recess which can be produced by various methods, for example by means of milling, planing, drawing, by means of a keyseating machine or broaching. The list is not exhaustive and the use of other methods is therefore conceivable.
  • a groove is preferably designed in a U-shape.
  • the cuboid buoyancy elements are also arranged one on top of the other in such a way that the through bores are arranged one on top of the other and the grooves form elongated cavities. If there are grooves on one side of a buoyancy element in the y-direction and on one side of a second buoyancy element in the z-direction, when the buoyancy elements are placed on top of one another, elongated cavities of the individual floating element in the y- and z-directions are created so that the sides with the grooves touch . Furthermore, the elongated cavities cross and form intersections.
  • the elongated hollow bodies of the framework are arranged in the elongated cavities and the through bores.
  • the first connecting elements of the scaffolding are arranged at the intersections.
  • An additional fastening of the cuboid buoyancy elements can be done for example by gluing.
  • the at least one second connecting element which is rod-shaped and is arranged in at least one elongated hollow body of the frame, is positively connected at each of its two ends to a clamping bush.
  • a clamping bush essentially consists of a flange and a threaded sleeve. Both can be firmly linked.
  • a clamping bushing in addition to establishing the non-positive and positive connection of the buoyancy bodies, is also designed to non-positively and positively couple the second single floating element to the first single floating element by means of a non-positive and positive connection with a further second connecting element of a second individual floating element.
  • a further second connecting element of a second individual floating element in this way, several individual floating elements can be coupled to one another to form a larger floating body.
  • only one threaded sleeve is used at the connection points of the individual floating elements, instead of a clamping bushing which has a threaded flange and a threaded sleeve.
  • the buoyant body according to the invention has pressure plates which are arranged between the cuboid buoyancy bodies and a clamping sleeve.
  • the cuboid buoyancy bodies can have further rectangular, round or square grooves or indentations for receiving the pressure plates and / or the clamping bushes. This leads to a better pressure distribution of the punctiform load due to the forces introduced into the individual floating body by the clamping bushing, as well as the tensile and compressive forces acting on the floating body from the outside.
  • the clamping bushes have an internal thread and the at least one second connecting element has an external thread that matches the internal thread of the clamping bushes at each of its two ends.
  • the second connecting element is preferably designed as a threaded rod.
  • the second connecting element can, however, also be designed as a round bar with externally attached threads, as a corrugated round bar or as a toothed rack. If the second connecting element has no thread, the clamping bushes have corresponding internal teeth or Internal corrugation to be able to establish a secure form fit on the connecting element.
  • the cuboid buoyancy bodies have glass foam, foam glass concrete or other foam glass mixtures. However, it is preferred to use foam glass plates as cuboid buoyancy bodies.
  • the cuboid buoyancy bodies preferably have a coating.
  • the coating can comprise, for example, natural rubber, synthetic rubber, polyurea and / or similar materials (for example multi-component mixtures).
  • the first connecting element is designed to receive the elongated hollow bodies by means of receiving elements and to connect them to one another in a form-fitting manner.
  • the first connecting element is preferably designed to arrange the elongated hollow bodies at 90 ° angles to one another by means of the receiving elements.
  • other numbers of degrees are conceivable.
  • the receiving elements of the first connecting element are preferably through bores or holes and the elongated hollow bodies are tubes, so that the tubes can be guided through the through bores in order to connect the tubes to one another in a form-fitting manner.
  • the object is also achieved by means of a floating body having at least two individual floating elements according to claim 1, which are connected to one another by means of at least the second connecting element of the first individual floating element and by means of a clamping bushing of the second individual floating element.
  • foam glass plates as cuboid buoyancy bodies has the advantage that industrially produced foam glass is extremely light, waterproof, pressure-resistant, vapor-tight, dimensionally stable, non-flammable, acid-resistant, pest-proof, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, easy to process, recyclable, largely frost-proof and heat-insulating.
  • foam glass is neutral to the surrounding fresh or salt water, the air, the soil or the flora and fauna.
  • foam glass is 100 percent resistant to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and does not enter into any connection with the environment.
  • UV ultraviolet radiation
  • foam glass is one of the few alternatives to Styrofoam or other plastics.
  • plastics are an essential part of floating foundations / structures of all types.
  • a coating of the individual floating elements improves the properties of the foam glass to the effect that the coating prevents water from penetrating into the outer, open and hard pore surface or from wetting it. This initially prevents the surface from being colonized by organisms. In addition, it prevents the individual floating element from being damaged by microcracks in the event of frost.
  • a coating also enables the mechanical properties of the foam glass with regard to its not very abrasion-resistant surface to be considerably improved.
  • an outer and possibly inner coating with, for example, polyurea ensures that the mechanical properties of the completely assembled individual floating element are considerably improved with regard to the compressive, tensile and dynamic alternating loads.
  • the arrangement according to the invention of the cuboid buoyancy bodies in combination with a positively connected frame inside an individual floating element, which prevents the buoyancy bodies from being braced, enables the use of foam glass panels.
  • the additional use of printing plates allow a better pressure distribution of the point load through the clamping bushes.
  • any point loads that may occur on mounted structures made up of coupled individual floating elements are distributed over the interconnected scaffolding into the overall structure made up of several coupled individual floating elements.
  • the total size of mounted floating structures made up of several individual floating elements coupled to one another can be changed (enlarged or reduced), since any number of individual floating elements can be coupled to one another or separated from one another.
  • the individual floating elements are manufactured with two or three or more buoyancy elements according to standardized dimensions, so that they can have different load capacities and also fit well into a (20 or 40 foot TEU sea) container for transport .
  • the individual floating elements are connected to one another on land or in the water in order to create floating structures with the required dimensions quickly and easily. No specially trained staff, no special machines or complex lifting technology are required for this.
  • connection In the context of this description, the terms “connected”, “connected” and “coupled” are used to describe both a direct and an indirect connection (for example ohmic and / or electrically conductive, for example in a electrically conductive connection), a direct or indirect connection and a direct or indirect coupling.
  • an indirect connection for example ohmic and / or electrically conductive, for example in a electrically conductive connection
  • direct or indirect connection and a direct or indirect coupling.
  • Coupled can be understood in the sense of a mechanical, hydrostatic, thermal and / or electrical connection.
  • “coupled” can be understood in the sense of a mechanical (physical or physical) coupling.
  • a clutch can be set up to transmit a mechanical interaction (e.g. force, torque).
  • the at least one second connecting element 33 is non-positively and positively connected to each of its two sides with a clamping bush 5 in such a way that the at least two cuboid-shaped buoyancy elements 2 are positively and non-positively connected to one another.
  • the cuboid buoyancy bodies 2 have glass foam or glass foam mixtures (not shown).
  • the cuboid-shaped buoyancy bodies are preferably foam glass plates.

  • the second connecting element 33 is tensioned by means of the tensioning element, for example a threaded bushing 51.
  • a single floating element 1 according to the invention also has pressure plates 6, which between the cuboid Buoyancy body 2 and a clamping sleeve 5 are arranged.
  • pressure plates 6 A possible variant of a pressure plate 6 is shown in Figure 3 shown.
  • the pressure plates are provided with a hole in the center and are made of sheet steel or stainless steel sheet with a thickness of several millimeters.
  • Figure 4 shows a first connecting element 32.
  • the first connecting element 32 is designed to receive the elongated hollow bodies 31 by means of receiving elements 321 and to connect them to one another in a force-locking manner.
