Abstract
A leg fastening device is provided that is mounted on a platform of a vertical lift-off type offshore structure to secure the platform against a plurality of legs. The leg fixing apparatus includes an image capturing section for capturing a rack gear formed on a cord pipe constituting a plurality of legs, a rack gear identification section for grasping the tooth profile of the rack gear on the basis of the photographed image, And a leg fixing jig driving part for adjusting the position of the leg fixing jig so as to fasten the fixing jig to the rack gear.
Description
The present invention relates to a leg fastening device, and more particularly to a leg fastening device for supporting legs of a vertical lift-and-drop type offshore structure.
An offshore structure, particularly a vertical lift platform such as a jack-up jig or a wind turbine, includes legs fixed to the sea floor and is configured to be able to move up and down along the legs. Generally, the legs fixed to the seabed can be formed by skeleton of X brace pipes connecting three or more cord pipes and cord pipes.
To support an offshore structure at sea, the legs secured to the seabed may have a length of, for example, 150 m to 200 m.
Since the legs supporting the vertical lifting and lowering platform have a length of 150 m to 200 m, it is difficult to assemble and install them on the platform at once using conventional equipment.
Thus, the legs can be made of, for example, a plurality of legs having a length of 10 to 50 meters, and the plurality of legs can be welded together along their lengthwise direction to form one leg.
In order to ensure the mechanical strength and stability of the legs to be vertically oriented at sea, it is necessary that the legs are designed as, for example, straight lines. In addition, the vertically aligned legs must be firmly supported on the platform after the vertical up and down movement.
An apparatus (hereinafter referred to as a "leg fixing jig") for firmly securing a plurality of legs to a platform generally comprises a hydraulic device having a toothed portion coupled on a respective rack gear formed on a cord pipe of each leg, ≪ / RTI >
Generally, when the toothed portion of the leg fixing jig is engaged with each rack gear, the operator normally aligns the teeth of the leg fixing jig with the position of the toothed portion of the rack gear, and adjusts its position finely.
However, the operation and operation of the leg fixing jig of the operator may increase the workload of the operator and may cause damage to the rack gear or the leg fixing jig due to malfunction of the operator.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vertical lifting / descending type offshore structure including a fixed jig device capable of automatically fixing and releasing the leg fixing jig to a rack gear formed on a cord pipe of a leg.
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a leg fixing device installed on a platform of a vertical lift-and-lowering type offshore structure according to an embodiment of the present invention and fixing the platform to a plurality of legs includes: An image capturing section for capturing a rack gear; A rack gear identification unit for recognizing a tooth profile of the rack gear based on the photographed image; And a leg fixing jig driving part for adjusting the position of the leg fixing jig according to the grasped tooth shape of the rack gear to fasten the leg fixing jig to the rack gear.
On the other hand, the image capturing unit is fixed to the upper portion of the leg fixing jig.
The rack gear identification unit identifies the distance between the gear teeth provided in the rack gear and the distance from the reference point of the picked-up image to the specific gear gear in the photographed image.
On the other hand, a horizontal distance between the leg fixing jig and the rack gear is checked from an interval between the gear teeth on the photographed image, and based on the distance between the reference point and the specific gear mountain, And a relative position confirmation unit for confirming a vertical distance deviation between the mountains.
The apparatus may further include a position adjusting signal transmitter for transmitting a position adjusting signal for moving the leg fixing jig in the horizontal and vertical directions to the leg fixing jig driving unit based on the determined horizontal distance and the vertical distance deviation.
Other specific details of the invention are included in the detailed description and drawings.

Further, the distance deviation between one leading end of the spectrum intensity and the reference point can be identified by a vertical distance deviation between the teeth of the leg fixing jig and the teeth of the rack gear. Here, the reference point can be understood as a hypothetical line in which one tip portion of the spectrum intensity is located when the teeth of the leg fixing jig and the teeth of the rack gear are tightly coupled with each other.
