Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floating body and a method for its stabilization according to the independent claims.
  • Floats are already known and used in a wide variety of shapes and designs.
  • No. 2,889,795 A describes, for example, a floating platform in which a compressor produces compressed air. By opening and closing valves, this presses liquid into or out of parts of buoyancy bodies, which changes their buoyancy and thereby compensates for wave movements.
  • CN 105974927 A describes a pontoon in the form of an energy generation system floating on the surface of the water.
  • the facility is not anchored. Your position is adjusted using a combination of GPS, control unit and motor if there are horizontal shifts due to wind and waves. A holding position of the pontoon on the water surface is thus achieved.
  • WO 2008 101 512 A1 discloses a floating offshore container reloading station which detects movements caused by waves and load changes by means of inclined position sensors and other sensors and compensates for them with vertically and horizontally displaceable counterweights.
  • a stop position of the pontoon on the water surface can also be achieved with the help of a GPS position determination.
  • the position of the floating bodies which are described in CN 105974927 A and in WO 2008 101 512 A1, is regulated with the aid of satellite-supported position determination systems. Here, however, only a two-dimensional detection and regulation of the position takes place. This means that the recorded data is compared with a target position and the recorded position of the float is changed exclusively laterally or horizontally.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • a method according to the invention relates to the stabilization of a surface a floating body or a surface connected to this floating body.
  • the floating body comprises at least a vertically acting drive or at least one buoyancy body or is connected to such a drive or buoyancy body.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the following steps:
  • a floating body within the scope of the present invention is any body which, when in use, floats in or on the water.
  • the body can therefore be partially or largely above the surface of the water during operation.
  • the body can be largely or completely below the surface of the water during operation.
  • a floating body within the scope of the present invention can be a swimming platform, which is also called a pontoon.
  • the floating body can, for example, be attached to the sea bed via anchors, lines or the like. Furthermore, the float can also be attached to the mainland via webs, ropes, etc. Alternatively, the floating body can also be designed to float freely.
  • a floating body according to the present invention is primarily used to support a structure.
  • any infrastructure and transport systems in the form of floating bodies can be thought of.
  • tunnels or bridges for vehicles come into consideration as structures.
  • a floating body that supports tunnels or bridges is referred to collectively as a “roadway girder” within the scope of the present invention.
  • a floating body according to the present invention is usually at least one degree of freedom of movement (translation or rotation) available, the height of at least one point of the floating body changing when the movement is carried out.
  • the term “floating body” preferably does not include boats and ships. Furthermore, the term “floating body” preferably does not include any buoys, in particular no signal buoys and no buoys for data acquisition.
  • a vertically acting drive in the sense of the present invention is any device that can bring about a vertical movement of the surface.
  • At least one drive can be thought of, which moves not only the surface but the entire floating body, ie changes its height.
  • Such drives can, for example, move the entire float up and down in the water.
  • a drive can be, for example, a turbo machine, for example a turbine or a propeller.
  • the drive can be designed in the form of a ship's propeller.
  • a water jet drive (jet drive) can be considered.
  • magnetohydrodynamic drives can also be considered.
  • at least one drive can also be thought of, which moves a surface connected to the floating body up and down, this movement taking place relative to the floating body.
  • a buoyancy body in the sense of the present invention is, for example, a body that can either be filled with air or another gas (mixture), or alternatively can be flooded with water or another liquid. Filling with air and flooding with water lead to significantly different mean densities of the float and thus to different buoyancy forces which are transmitted from the float to the float.
  • the mean density of the buoyancy bodies can be constant or variable. Buoyancy bodies with variable mean density are known, the mean density being changed, for example, by at least partial flooding with water or by at least partial filling with air. Floating bodies with constant average density do not have such possibilities. Such floats are less versatile, but as a rule also more stable, since no devices such as valves, pumps or the like are necessary to change the mean density.
  • the special thing about the float in the sense of the present invention is that it can change the fleas of the float (and thus also any surface connected to it) by changing its height relative to the float.
  • the buoyancy body is therefore fixed on the floating body in such a way that it can change its vertical position relative to the floating body. Any point on a surface of the float will sink in the vertical direction when the at least one float is moved vertically upwards relative to the float, so that the float dips deeper into the water. Becomes the float on the other hand, if it is moved vertically downwards, the remaining floating body will protrude further above the water surface.
  • the height of a point is preferably understood to mean its vertical position, i.e. its distance from the earth's surface or from the seabed in the direction of the center of the earth.
  • the point is preferably a small area section of the surface with an area of, for example, a few square centimeters or a few square meters or even only a few square millimeters.
  • the target value is preferably a predetermined target value for the height. In some situations, for example in heavy seas, it may be that the target value is not reached or is only reached for a very short time with the aid of the drive or by changing the height of the float relative to the float. However, in the case of a large deviation from the target value, it can often be sufficient if the distance from the target value is greatly reduced without the target value being reached.
  • a setpoint value within the scope of the present invention therefore also includes a corresponding setpoint interval.
  • the process is preferably carried out continuously. It can be considered that a cycle comprising recording the height, target / actual comparison and changing the height runs very quickly, for example to compensate for the effects of heavy and irregular swell.
  • a cycle comprising recording the height, target / actual comparison and changing the height runs very quickly, for example to compensate for the effects of heavy and irregular swell.
  • quickly responding vertically acting drives or quickly displaceable or movable buoyancy bodies can be used.
  • the float can of course comprise two, three, four or more vertically acting drives or alternatively two, four or more floats or be connected to such.
  • Analog can of course be the height of two, three, four or more points can be recorded and compared with a target value.
  • the number of drives or floats does not have to correspond to the number of points.
  • two or more vertically acting drives or floats can be used to change the height of only one point.
  • a single vertically acting drive or buoyancy body can be used to change the height of several points.
  • the altitude can be recorded with the aid of a satellite-supported position determination system. Other possibilities for recording the height are conceivable.
  • the surface usually does not have a uniform height due to its physical nature and / or the nature of the floating body. If, for example, it is a loading station in the form of a swimming platform, structures attached to the platform, such as cranes and the like, are at a different height than, for example, the level on which such cranes are attached. Therefore, the height is usually determined by one, preferably several, points on the surface. A determination of the height of “the surface” as a whole is naturally not possible in the above-described case because the above-described surface does not have a uniform height. Instead, we determine the height of at least one point that lies in this surface.
  • the change in the height of the surface can also take place while taking data from another sensor into account.
  • This can be, for example, a camera, a motion sensor, a Acting position sensor or an acceleration sensor.
  • the camera can capture water movements, for example wave movements.
  • additional sensor It can also be thought of using more than one additional sensor. If several additional sensors are used, these can be of the same type or of different types. On the one hand, several motion sensors can be used, for example. On the other hand, for example, at least one motion sensor and at least one position sensor can be used.
  • the number and position or location of the vertically acting drives or floats, the control unit and the receiving devices can be adapted to the size, design and requirements of the float.
  • the present invention also comprises a floating body described below and a system described below comprising such a floating body.
  • a floating body described below and a system described below comprising such a floating body.
  • Features that have been described in connection with the method can also be used in connection with the float and / or the system and vice versa.
  • a floating body according to the invention comprises a surface or is connected to such a surface. Furthermore, the floating body comprises a vertically acting drive or a buoyancy body whose height is variable in relation to the floating body for changing the height of the surface. The height of the surface can therefore be changed by the at least one vertically acting drive or by changing the height of the float relative to the float.
  • a system in addition to the floating body, a system according to the invention comprises a device for determining the height and a control device.
  • the control device is available with the device for height determination and the vertically acting drive or with at least one device Change in the height of the float relative to the float in connection.
  • the device for determining height can be, for example, a receiving unit which receives data from a satellite-supported system for determining position. These data contain the information already described about the height of the at least one point located on the surface.
  • the control device can essentially consist of a data processing unit which receives the information from the device for height determination, compares it with the setpoint values, and controls the drives or the devices for changing the height of the buoyancy bodies accordingly.
  • the system can furthermore comprise a sensor which supplies the control device with data which are taken into account when controlling the vertically acting drive or the devices for changing the height of the buoyancy bodies.
  • the floating body can comprise the vertically acting drive or be connected to it.
  • the floating body can encompass the buoyancy body or be connected to it.
  • the float comprises the device for changing the height of the float if it comprises such a float.
  • the control device and the device for determining the height can also be located on or on the floating body or be connected to it. Alternatively, they can be in a different location.
  • the altitude data can, for example, be transmitted wirelessly from the device for determining the altitude to the control device.
  • the control data can, for example, wirelessly from the Control device are transmitted to the at least one vertically acting drive or to the at least one device for changing the height of the buoyancy bodies.
  • the device for determining the height is preferably a receiving device for such satellite data.
  • This receiving device is preferably installed precisely at the point on the surface whose height is to be determined and changed. The same naturally also applies if two or more points and thus receiving devices are present. However, it can also be thought that the receiving device is not installed exactly at the point described above, so that the height of the point is determined indirectly.
  • satellite-supported systems for position determination can be used to determine not only the lateral position of the receiver of the satellite signals, but also its height.
  • the accuracy of such a height determination - or in general a three-dimensional position determination - is in the centimeter range.
  • the position data relating to the lateral (ie horizontal) position of the receiver can of course also be used, for example to correct the horizontal position of the float.
  • the floating body can comprise horizontally acting drives. Detecting, comparing with a target value for the (horizontal) position and adapting or changing the horizontal position in the direction of the target value can take place in exactly the same way as already described for the vertical position (height).

  • the floating body 1 in FIG. 3 is anchored to the sea bed 11 via an anchor chain 2. Furthermore, it comprises receiving devices 4 above the points 10 and a control device 6. Furthermore, satellites 14 are shown.
  • the floating body 1 according to FIG. 3 also includes another one Sensor 7. This can, for example, be a camera for observing water movement and swell.

  • a density of the floating body 1 in FIG. 4 is expediently chosen such that the floating body 1 floats below the surface of the water 3 in the desired fleas.
  • the floats 1 according to FIGS. 5 and 6 do not include drives 8, but floats 17.
  • the floating bodies 1 according to FIGS. 7 and 8 again comprise drives 8 which, however, are not equipped with rotors 12 and are arranged below the water surface 3, but can change the fleas or length of supports 20 or connecting elements 22.

  • the floating body 1 according to FIG. 6 also comprises a pontoon 19. Below the pontoon 19, tunnel tubes 15 are attached via connecting elements 22.
  • the floating body 1 according to FIG. 7 comprises a pontoon 19 on which a roadway 21 is arranged with the aid of supports 20. The roadway 21 forms a bridge together with the supports 20.
  • the float 1 according to FIG. 8 differs from that according to FIG. 6 in that instead of floats 17 there are drives 8, and furthermore in that the distance between the tunnel tubes 15 and the pontoon or the length of the connecting elements 22 with the aid of the drives 8 is changeable.
  • the fleas of the floating body 1 can change as a result of the sea or other water movements. On the one hand, this can be the occurrence of flood and low water (ebb and flow), as a result of which a rather slow flea change of the floating body 1 occurs over time. In the case of swell, for example, but also in the course of time, these can be violent movements, i.e. movements that occur over a short period of time with a large amplitude or large extent.
  • the floating body 1 can move, depending on a type of water movement, its shape, other conditions and its anchoring, on the one hand essentially parallel to the sea bed 11 along the indicated arrow direction 9. On the other hand, the floating body 1 can also be brought into an inclined position with respect to the sea bed 11 if one side of the floating body 1 changes its fleas to a greater or lesser extent than the other side.
  • the change in height of the floating body 1 can also be caused by internal influences.
  • the height of the floating body 1 can change due to loading, in particular due to the application of weight or a changing load distribution. This change in height due to stress can again occur uniformly or one-sided. In FIGS. 4, 6 and 8, loading is likely to occur on one side, since the tunnel tube 15 shown on the left is loaded with more vehicles 16 than the tunnel tube 15 shown on the right; A corresponding effect should occur in FIG. 7 if more vehicles 16 are driving on one side of the roadway 21 than on the opposite side.
  • a change in height of the floating body 1 or at least one point 10 at or on the floating body 1 is undesirable in most cases.
  • changes in height limit the functionality of walkways, tunnels, work platforms, etc.
  • a sudden non-horizontal arrangement of a roadway is of course particularly dangerous for the vehicles driving on it.
  • the device and the method according to the present invention actively counteract the external and internal influences. This reduces or even eliminates movements of the floating body 1, so that people and objects on the floating body 1 feel "as if they were on solid ground".
  • the device and the method are suitable, on the one hand, to compensate for rapidly occurring changes in height such as, for example, in heavy seas (and thus movements of the floating body 1).

  • the floating body comprises several receiving devices 4 which communicate with satellites 14 of a satellite-supported system for determining position 5. This communication is indicated by dashed lines.
