Description
The present invention relates to an offshore structure, and more particularly to an offshore structure having a jacking system.
A jack-up rig is an offshore structure that performs drilling in a defined area. It has a leg and jacking system to lift the hull and cantilever over the surface of the water. . For the lifting of the legs, the jacking system is provided with a jackcase. In order to guide the movement of the legs stably, the side wall and the rear face of the jack case are designed to have small tolerances. Thus, when the legs are inclined or biased, the chord of the legs may strike against the inner wall surface of the jack case, causing damage to the rack gears of the legs or causing structural defects in the jack case.
In addition, due to the characteristics of the jack-up league, marine life is adhered to and adhered to the leg during a long time of construction and mining of the well in a predetermined sea area. When the leg moves in a state where the adherent is fixed, Noise occurs due to interference between the jack case and the jack case, and the by-product enters the equipment and acts as a cause of failure. The conventional jack case has a 'C' shaped channel structure with the rear portion blocked. Therefore, it is impossible to access the inside of the jack case through the rear portion of the jack case for maintenance / repair of the leg or jacking system.
An object of the present invention is to provide an offshore structure capable of efficient air cooling and maintenance / repair through an open rear portion of a jack case.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an offshore structure capable of efficiently and precisely managing the position of a cord portion (a column portion, a rack gear) of a leg.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an offshore structure in which a guide member damaged by friction with a rack gear can be easily replaced.
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems. Other technical subjects not mentioned will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the description below.
An offshore structure according to an aspect of the present invention includes a main body; A leg which is installed to be movable in a vertical direction with respect to the main body and supports the main body; And a jacking unit provided on the main body and guiding the vertical movement of the pillars of the legs, wherein the jacking unit includes: a jack case having the column portion inserted therein and the rear portion opposite to the leg opened; And a rack guide portion formed on each of two opposite inner side surfaces of the jack case in a vertical direction to guide the rack gear of the pillar portion.
The jack case includes: a pair of vertical towers opposed to each other with the pillar portion therebetween; And a support member connecting the pair of vertical towers, wherein the rack guide portion may be formed in each of the pair of vertical towers.
The jacking unit may further include a guide rail formed in a horizontal direction on an inner surface of the jack case, and the rack guide portion may be coupled to the guide rail to adjust its position along the guide rail.
The rack guide unit includes a rack guide body coupled to the guide rails; And a guide member slidably detachable from the rack guide body.
The jacking unit may further include a stopper formed on an inner surface of the jack case to limit a longitudinal position of the rack guide unit.
The jacking unit may further include a stopper driving unit for adjusting a positional tolerance of the column by adjusting a position of the stopper in a horizontal direction.
The jacking unit may include: a sensor unit installed in the jack case to sense a position of the pillar; And a driving unit for adjusting a position of the rack guide unit according to a measured value of the sensor unit.
The offshore structure includes a maintenance platform mounted on a rear portion of the jack case and accessible to the inside of the jack case through an open rear portion of the jack case; And a moving unit for moving the maintenance platform in the vertical direction along the jack case.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an open structure of an efficient air-cooling and maintenance / maintenance is provided through the open rear portion of the jack case.
Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently and accurately manage the position of the cord portion (column portion, rack gear) of the leg.
Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the guide member damaged by friction with the rack gear can be easily replaced.
