Description

  The present invention relates to an artificial island made of a floating body of wood and floating in water such as the sea or a lake.

  As an artificial island floating on the sea, an airfield such as Kansai International Airport can be cited, which is convenient for taking off and landing of aircraft because the disturbing buildings are flat without surroundings. In general, artificial islands are made of iron floats, and buildings are installed on them. There are also artificial islands for plant cultivation.

WO96 / 09754

  However, since conventional artificial islands are made of iron, they are not only easily corroded and weak against seawater, but also have to use a large amount of iron, which is problematic in terms of saving resources.

  Therefore, the artificial island of the present invention is formed by forming a honeycomb-like floating body made of wood by joining a number of cylinders having a regular hexagonal cross section in the lateral direction, sinking the floating body horizontally, installing a building thereon, and The body is a combination of many squares.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the inside of the corner portion of the cylindrical body is reinforced with a combination reinforcing body made of a combination of square members having different dimensions, and the axial direction of the cylindrical body is joined horizontally so as to be a floating body. It is also possible to put a cylindrical body of the same shape on top of it to make a building, and the upper and lower sides of the cylindrical body are closed with a lid, and this lid is formed by a double of an outer square and an inner square In addition, it is preferable that the arrangement direction is orthogonal to the squares of the outer square bar and the inner square bar.

  The floating body has a honeycomb shape, is large in strength, and is easy to assemble. Moreover, it is made of wood, and if it is submerged in water (underwater), it will not rot, and thinned wood, which is currently a problem all over the world, can be used.

  In the present invention, even a thinned timber can form a cylinder with a combination of a number of square timbers, which also protects the forest.

  Moreover, if the inside of the regular hexagonal corner is reinforced, the strength is also guaranteed. In addition, the regular hexagonal cylinder can be used for a building as a whole and becomes an artificial island of wood as a light building. Further, if the upper and lower lids of the cylindrical body are doubled and the arrangement direction of the square members is orthogonal between the outer side and the inner side, the strength is increased.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In FIG. 1, an artificial island I according to the present invention comprises a large-capacity floating body 1 in which a regular hexagonal cylinder formed by pasting relatively thin squares such as thinned wood is formed in a honeycomb shape. It is submerged in water such as a lake. A waterproof wall 2 is placed around the upper surface of the floating body 1 to prevent intrusion of seawater, and structures 3, 3,... 3 are placed on the floating body 1 in the waterproof wall 2. . As shown in FIG. 2, the floating body 1 is a regular hexagonal cylinder 4 in a honeycomb shape in which the axial direction is taken up and down and joined in a large number in the lateral direction. Hundreds of thousands of cylinders 4 need to be joined.

  The cylindrical body 4 is made of a long and narrow square bar, and the side walls forming the sides of the cylindrical body 4 are formed by vertically stacking side bars 5, 5... 5 that extend in the horizontal direction. .. 6 are formed, and the inside of the regular hexagonal corner is reinforced by reinforcing bodies 7, 7... 7 made of four kinds of square members having different dimensions. Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, in the cylindrical body 4, first horizontal support beams 10, 10... 10 for supporting the upper and lower lid bodies 8, 9 of the cylindrical body 4, and a second horizontal Support beams 11, 11... 11, third horizontal beams 12, 12... 12, vertical support beams 12 a and 12 a that support the horizontal center of the third horizontal support beam 12 up and down, and oblique beams that extend diagonally. 12b and 12b are provided.

  The lids 8 and 9 have the same shape, and as shown in FIG. 7, the outside of the lid is a square member extending in one direction between the side members 8a, 8a... 8a having six sides of a regular hexagon and the side members 8a. 8b, 8b, 8b,... 8b, and inside thereof, as shown in FIG. 8, square members 8c, 8c... 8c are attached to the outer square members 8b in a direction orthogonal to the outer square members, On the inner side, steps S, S... S are formed, and this step S is configured to receive the periphery of the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical body 4.

  In addition, the surrounding wall of the cylinder 4 is mutually joined by the penetrating materials 13, 13 ... 13 (FIG. 9). As shown in FIGS. 10 to 14, the reinforcing body 7 inside the corner portion of the cylindrical body 4 is composed of four kinds of square members having different dimensions, and these include a wedge-shaped first square member 14 bonded to the corner portion C, A rectangular second square 15 adjacent to one square, a third square 16 closer to the square than the second square 15 adjacent to the second square 15, and a square fourth square 17 adjacent to the second square 15 are provided. Is reinforced by the arrangement of these square members.

  The floating body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a structure in which a large number of vertical bodies 4 are joined in the horizontal direction. However, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to use the tubular body 4 as a building by placing the tubular body 4 in the horizontal direction after immersing the joint in the horizontal direction in the sea and placing the tubular body 4 in the horizontal direction. Note that passages 21, 21... 21 are provided on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the cylindrical body 4 arranged above and below.

  Since relatively thin timber can be used, thinned wood can be used, contributing to forestry, and providing a place to live in the people of the South Pacific islands that sink into the sea due to warming.
