Abstract

[Problem] It has been difficult to put into practical use, like a ship, making the entire bottom side leak-proof and obtaining buoyancy by the amount of water to be displaced, because it would be costly for a larger artificial island. [Solution] By using a large number of rubber balloons as buoyancy, and by using wood for structures that are submerged in water, buoyancy is also obtained from the structures, and by adjusting the number of balloons, To keep the height constant with respect to the water level even if the number of structures increases.

Description

The present invention relates to floating technology for artificial islands.

Like a ship, making the entire bottom side leak-proof and gaining buoyancy based on the amount of water pushed aside was difficult to put into practical use because of the high cost required for larger artificial islands.

Patent application 2017-12116

Technology to obtain buoyancy at low cost without covering the entire bottom side with metal to prevent water leakage, which is costly like the bottom of a general ship.

By using a large number of rubber balloons as buoyancy, and by using wood for structures submerged in water, buoyancy is also obtained from the structure, and by adjusting the number of balloons, the number of structures on the artificial island increases. Keep the height constant with respect to the water level even if it comes up.

An artificial island that is inexpensive and easy to maintain will be realized, and in areas that are likely to be submerged due to global warming, it will be possible to migrate to the artificial island, and it will be possible to use it as a stopover point for boat trips and other media. For example, even a small ship can navigate the ocean over long distances by using multiple artificial islands as stopover points.

1 shows an overview of the present invention;

An artificial island made by horizontally connecting a plurality of units composed of a light alloy with a honeycomb structure for the floor and a plurality of balloons and wood for the lower part of the floor, wherein the plurality of By adjusting the amount of balloons and wood, the buoyancy is adjusted, and the height of the artificial island can be adjusted.

In Fig. 1, a light alloy member 1 with a honeycomb structure and a wooden connecting member 2 coated with liquid glass are pre-connected at a factory, brought to a ship, and then assembled on board. The wood 3 and the liquid glass coated wooden connecting member 2 are assembled with bolts and nuts 4, and a plurality of rubber balloons 5 with a ball of about 2 m are incorporated. Mounting. With this, the artificial island basic unit is completed, the basic unit is lifted by a crane attached to the ship, moved from the ship onto the water, and the plurality of artificial island basic units that have been moved onto the water are coated with the liquid glass coating. By using connecting wood 9 and fixing with bolts and nuts 4 or the like, this is repeated, and an artificial island of a predetermined size is gradually completed.
By laying artificial grass 10 or the like on the light alloy member 1 of the honeycomb structure, an artificial island with habitability is completed.

Next, as various structures are constructed on the light alloy member 1 of the plurality of honeycomb structures connected, the light weight of the entire artificial island or of the plurality of connected honeycomb structures depends on the weight of the various structures. The alloy member 1 is sinking, but the submersible 8 carries the rubber balloon 5 of about 2 m into the water to the bottom of the submerged light alloy member 1 with a plurality of connected honeycomb structures. When the diver 6 carries the balloon 5 with a ball of about 2 m and then separates the balloon 5 with a ball of about 2 m from the submarine 8, the buoyancy forces the balloon 5 with a ball of about 2 m to rise, and the balloon 5 already exists. It fits snugly under the rubber balloon that is attached.
Furthermore, by repeating the above action, the number of rubber balloons 5 of about 2 m in size gradually increases, increasing the buoyancy, and the submerged light alloy members 1 of a plurality of connected honeycomb structures rise. and recover the sunken portion to reach the original position.

In addition, as the number of rubber balloons 5 of about 2 m in length increases, if the lower part of the balloon protrudes below the wood 3, the wooden connecting member 2 coated with liquid glass is used to prevent the diver 6 from Additional lumber 3 is added and fixed with bolts and nuts 4.
Furthermore, recently, by applying liquid glass coating, etc., the strength of wood is remarkably increased, so there is a possibility that wood itself can be used as a flooring material for artificial islands, not necessarily a light metal honeycomb structure.

Even if the structure increases and becomes heavier and the whole or part of the artificial island sinks, increasing the balloons and wood on the lower side of the artificial island increases buoyancy and maintains a constant height against the water level. Therefore, it is possible to realize an artificial island where various buildings are lined up or an airport function is added.
