Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is directed to a water fountain floating on a water surface such as a dam, a lake, or the sea. The present invention relates to a float type fountain device equipped with the device.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a pump IA has been used.

A float-type fountain device is already known in which a barge 2 on which a fountain device M1 including a prime mover IB and a fountain nozzle IC is mounted is moored on a water surface 3 such as a dam, a lake, or the sea to generate a fountain.

This type of fountain equipment connects the barge 2 to the bottom of the water via a plurality of (for example, four, but only two are shown in the drawing) flexible connecting members 4 such as wire lobes or ring chains. By connecting it to the anchor 5, it is moored at a predetermined position.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, in this type of fountain device, mainly the fountain nozzle IC
In order to draw the eye to the fountain itself, it is necessary to make the barge 2 as small as possible so that it is as inconspicuous as possible.

However, in the conventional float type fountain device, a plurality of hoisting devices 6 (for example, four units, however, only two units are shown in the drawing) are provided on the barge 2 to raise and lower the flexible connecting member 4 and the anchor 5. Since it is necessary to install a plurality of (for example, four, but only two are shown in the drawing) prime movers 7 to drive these winding devices M6,
The disadvantage is that the barge 2 has to be large in size.

On the other hand, the barge 2 is not always moored only at a fixed location, but is moved, for example, when evacuating to a safe location before a typhoon or changing its position in response to an event.

In such a case, the movement is performed by operating the plurality of prime movers 7, driving each hoisting device H6, hoisting the plurality of anchors 5 via the flexible connecting member 4, and then using, for example, a tug hoard (not shown). ) by towing the barge 2 to a predetermined position.

However, the preparation work before towing the barge 2, that is, the operation of the prime mover 7, the driving of the hoisting device 6, and the work of hoisting the flexible connecting member 4 and anchor 5, is relatively troublesome, and the preparation work is difficult. have.

In addition, positioning work is required when mooring the barge 2 at a predetermined position (hereinafter referred to as a point) on the water surface 3 for the first time, or when mooring the barge 2 at its original point after it has been moved as described above. This is done by towing the barge 2 to the vicinity of a point, and then dropping anchors 5 from the barge 2 at four points.

However, the barge 2 is moved and rocked irregularly due to the influence of waves, wind, etc. As described above, it is extremely difficult to properly anchor the anchor 5 at a point from the barge 2, which is being moved and rocked irregularly, and the workability of positioning the barge 2 is slow. are doing.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a float-type fountain device that can reduce the size of the barge, improve the ease of preparation work before towing the barge, and improve the workability of positioning the barge. It is said that

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a barge on which a fountain device including a pump, a prime mover, a fountain nozzle, etc. is mounted, an anchor, an S-lifting device, and the anchor. A mooring buoy equipped with a flexible connecting member that connects the hoisting device E to each other is removably connected by a mooring mechanism.

[Operations] According to the present invention, it is possible to omit mounting an anchor, a hoisting device, a flexible connecting member for interconnecting the anchor and the hoisting device, etc. on the barge.

In addition, when evacuating to a safe place before a typhoon or changing positions in response to an event, it is possible to move only the barge by unmooring the mooring mechanism and separating the barge and mooring buoy. can.

Furthermore, by dropping anchors from mooring buoys at multiple points and connecting the mooring buoy and barge, which are connected to the anchors dropped via flexible connecting members, with a mooring mechanism, the barge You can berth for the first time at this point. When a barge that has been moved from its berthing position is to be moored at its original point, the barge should be connected to the mooring buoy that was left at anchor when the barge was moved using a mooring mechanism. good.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 81 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the same. Parts that are the same as or corresponding to those of the conventional example explained in FIG. Omitted.

In Figures 1 and 2, barge 2 has pump IA,
A fountain device 1 equipped with a prime mover IB and a fountain nozzle LC is mounted, and mooring buoys 8 are detachably connected to the front and rear portions of both sides of the barge 2 by mooring mechanisms 9, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mooring buoy 8 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom and has a sealed space 8A inside.The upper opening is liquid-tightly closed by a lid 8B, and the space 8A is sealed. The hoisting device 6 has a horizontal axis and a shaft 6B rotatably supported by bearings 6A, 6A.
A drum 6C and a worm wheel 6D are attached to the shaft 6B so as to be rotatable at the same time, and a worm gear 6E having a vertical axis and meshing with the worm wheel 6D is attached to the input shaft extending vertically upward, and the worm gear 6E is attached for simultaneous rotation. 6F, a flexible connecting member 4 made of a ring chain wound around a drum 6C extends downward through the chi FIG, and an anchor 5 is attached to its tip (the first (see Figures and Figure 2).

As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the mooring mechanism 9 includes one mooring fitting 9A attached to the barge 2 side, a pair of other mooring fittings 9B, 9B attached to the mooring buoy 8, and both mooring fittings. Mooring holes 9a, 9b formed in 9A, 9B, 9B and concentrically arranged in series.

The mooring pin 9C is inserted into and removably inserted into the mooring pin 9b.

An operating hole 8b is formed in the lid 8B of the mooring buoy 8 and corresponds concentrically to the input shaft 6F.
It can be opened and closed by C and is closed by the liquid sparrow.

In addition, according to the above structure in which 10 indicates an intake pipe and 11 indicates an exhaust pipe, the anchor 51 hoisting device M6 and the anchor 5
Since the mooring buoy 8 is equipped with a flexible connecting member 4 for connecting the and hoisting device 6 to each other, the space for mounting these can be omitted from the barge 2, and the barge is 2 can be made smaller. for that,
It becomes possible to draw the eye to the fountain itself, which is mainly spouted up from the fountain nozzle IC.

To drive the hoisting device M6, that is, to raise and lower the anchor 5, remove the cap 8C blocking the operation hole 8b, and then insert a box spanner attached to the chuck of a portable electric drill, for example, through the operation hole 8b. This can be done by fitting a box spanner to the upper end square portion 6f of the input shaft 6F and then rotating the portable electric drill in the forward and reverse directions.

In addition, when evacuating the barge 2 to a safe place before a typhoon or changing the position of the barge 2 in response to an event, the mooring pin 9C of the mooring mechanism 9 can be moved to the mooring metal fitting 9A.
, 9B, and 9B and separate the barge 2 and the mooring buoy 8, it is possible to move only the barge 2 by towing it with, for example, a tugboat. This makes it easier and greatly improves the preparation work before towing two ships with one ship.

Furthermore, anchors 5 are anchored from four mooring buoys 8 at four points, and the mooring buoys 8 and barges 2 are connected to each of the anchors 5 that have been anchored via flexible connecting members 4.
By connecting these to each other by four mooring mechanisms 9, the barge 2 can be anchored at a point for the first time. When the barge 2 that has been moved from this berthing position is moored at the original point, the barge 2 is moored with the mooring buoy 8 that was left at anchor when the barge 2 was moved. Since it is only necessary to connect them using the mechanism 9, the workability of positioning the barge 2 is improved.

In the embodiment described above, the mooring mechanism 9 is the mooring fitting 9A.

9B, 9B and the mooring pin 9C, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and any known coupling mechanism may be employed as the mooring mechanism 9.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the following effects.

That is, since it is possible to omit mounting an anchor, a hoisting device, a flexible connecting member for interconnecting the anchor and the hoisting device, etc. on the barge, the barge can be made smaller accordingly. Therefore, it is possible to draw the eye mainly to the fountain itself, which is spewed up from the fountain nozzle.

In addition, when evacuating to a safe place before a typhoon or changing positions in response to an event, it is possible to move only the barge by unmooring the mooring mechanism and separating the barge and mooring buoy. This greatly improves the preparation work before towing the barge.

Furthermore, by dropping anchors from mooring buoys at multiple points and connecting the mooring buoy and barge, which are connected to the anchors dropped via flexible connecting members, with a mooring mechanism, the barge You can berth for the first time at this point. When a barge that has been moved from its berthing position is to be moored at its original point, the barge must be connected to the mooring buoy that was left at anchor when the barge was moved, using a mooring mechanism. This improves the workability of positioning the barge.
