Description

Port of transport {MOBILE HARBOR}

The present invention relates to a mobile harbor having a reciprocating shuttle, and more particularly, a plurality of transfer modules for connecting a loading module having its own propulsion means to a vessel anchored in the offshore, and reciprocating the cargo unloaded from the loading module. It is to provide a mobile port for transportation to the pier through.

The competitiveness of goods depends not only on the rapid production of goods, but also on the rapid movement of goods and the smooth supply to consumers. Among the means of transportation of goods, maritime transportation using ships uses less energy and lowers transportation costs compared to other transportation means, and therefore, much of international trade uses maritime transportation.

Recently, ships used for maritime transportation, such as container ships, have become larger in size, which is to secure economic feasibility by increasing the volume of ships transported. This requires ports with mooring and unloading facilities that can dock large vessels.

However, there are not many ports at home and abroad that can dock large container ships, and construction of such a port requires a lot of expenses. The construction of a port requires a large area, and in addition, a large area of land and supporting facilities for stocking many containers should be provided. Given the impact of large ports on the surrounding environment, the development of new ports becomes more difficult.

In addition, because the loading and unloading of cargo is concentrated in only a few large ports, roads near large ports cause traffic jams due to the increase of vehicles for transporting loading or unloading cargo. The increasing number of vehicles carrying heavy loads is a major source of damage to the roads, placing huge costs on the state or local governments.

On the other hand, unloading and shipping of the current container ship is made only on one side of the ship docked on the harbor's inner wall, because only a portion of the length of the ship is very inefficient.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile port that can be shipped or unloaded quickly by loading and unloading cargo while anchored at sea off the land without docking a large vessel to the inner wall of the port.

In addition, by allowing large vessels to load and unload cargo even in small ports that do not have a container wharf, distributing the vehicles for freight transportation facilitates logistics and reduces the cost and environmental damage caused by the development of new ports. It aims to be avoided.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile port that can reduce the time required for loading or unloading the cargo by continuously carrying out multiple loading and loading of the cargo by a plurality of shuttles.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile harbor having a structure that can use a canal that passes through the inland, so that containers or cargo can be directly transported to and near the demand after unloading a large vessel.

In order to achieve the above object, the mobile harbor according to the invention has a connection device that can be docked with the ship, the unloading module is provided with at least one unloading crane for loading and unloading cargo; At least one transfer module having a self-propelled device and the eyepiece bridge that can be connected to the pier, at least one gantry crane for loading and unloading the loaded cargo on the transport vehicle or loading the cargo of the transport vehicle on the deck; have.

In addition, the unloading module is formed to be berthing corresponding to the shape of the transfer module can berthing a plurality of transfer modules from time to time.

In addition, the unloading module has a self-propelled device and a control tower for the operation and control of each device; It may further include a shock-absorbing unit that can compensate for the collision caused by the wave when the transfer module is berthing.

In addition, the unloading module may further include a stable part protruding in the lateral direction of the unloading module for stability and capable of detachable or folding and receiving.

In addition, the unloading module may further include an eyepiece management tower having a system for guiding the eyepiece of the transfer module by automatically controlling the position when the transfer module is the eyepiece.

In addition, the unloading module may further include a posture control unit for maintaining the vessel and the anchoring position in the lower part of the hull.

In addition, the connection device may use a vacuum or magnetic force to connect the unloading module with the ship or the transfer module.

In addition, the connection device may use a connecting member or a hydraulic cylinder of a flexible material to maintain the distance so that the cargo handling module and the ship do not collide with each other.

In addition, the eyepiece bridge is provided at the end of the transfer module can form a slope when the eyepiece docks to maintain the anchoring.

Through the above problem solving means, the present invention can provide the following effects.

The mobile port according to the present invention is equipped with a crane and a docking facility and can quickly unload or load cargo from both sides of the vessel moored in the outer port. The loading and unloading of containers and cargo from the pier to the mobile harbor or from the mobile harbor to the pier takes place after docking the mobile harbor near the pier.

Containers can be loaded and unloaded even in ports that do not have a container wharf, and much more cargo can be processed within a unit time than conventional methods, since a large number of transport modules can be docked at the same time by occupying at least the dock's docking position. By distributing vehicles for land transportation, traffic congestion near container ship docks can be prevented, efficient and rapid cargo transportation can be prevented, and environmental degradation due to the development of large ports can be prevented. .

On the other hand, if the transport module is designed to have a structure that can use the canal passing through the inland, the container cargo can be unloaded from a large vessel and then directly transported to near the demand site. This can reduce logistics costs and conserve the environment through energy savings and reduced CO ₂ emissions.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that the detailed description of the related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Then, the transfer module 2 anchored in the pier 4 is led to and connected to the unloading module 1 by the eyepiece management tower 15.

At this time, when the transfer module 2 swings on a change element such as a wave when the transfer module 2 is docked to the unloading module 1, the transfer module 2 compensates for the collision with the buffer part 13 of the unloading module 1.

The cargo 5 of the ship 3 is unloaded or shipped by the unloading crane 11 to the connected transfer module 2.

Transfer module 2 after the unloading or loading is returned to the pier (4). At this time, the unloading module (1) is at least one transfer module (2) is waiting to maintain the unloading and shipping operations are not interrupted to facilitate fast work.

Here, the gantry crane 21 installed in the transfer module 2 allows the cargo 5 to be loaded or moved in multiple layers within the transfer module 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, the docking transfer module 2 which is docked with the pier 4 has a piercing bridge 22 protruding thereon to be seated on the pier 4, and a trailer and a train enter the transfer module 2 to gantry cranes. (21) Directly load or unload cargo (5).

At this time, the amount of loading and unloading the cargo (5) can be increased according to the docking area or the number of cranes adjacent to the pier (4), due to the number of the transfer module (2) its transfer speed and amount Increases significantly.

In addition, by loading and unloading the cargo directly to the trailer in the transfer module (2) to reduce the congestion of the dock, it is possible to use in the dock with less loading space.
