The present invention relates to a crude oil diffusion prevention device, and more particularly, to a crude oil diffusion prevention device that prevents crude oil from spreading by surrounding a predetermined area in the form of a tube with respect to a location where the crude oil leaks, and easily recovers the leaked crude oil. .

In general, crude oil used for power generation, driving of automobile engines, concrete production, etc. is drilled on land or undersea, and then supplied to where it is needed. Crude oil drilled on land is mainly transported by pipe, and crude oil drilled on the sea floor is transported by crude oil tanker.

In recent years, the use of crude oil has increased significantly, and as the oil on land or near the coast is depleted, the rate of drilling oil in the deep sea has increased, which means that the oil carriers have a very long transport path. At this time, when the crude oil carrier is damaged by the reef during transportation of crude oil, the crude oil may leak, which may cause serious environmental pollution.

Therefore, in the case of ships produced recently, it is mandatory to design double side walls with double partitions so that crude oil does not spill even if the hull is broken. However, crude oil carriers produced prior to the application of the Double Bottom rule have been in operation to this day, and accidents that cause oil pollution from these oil carriers are causing environmental pollution.

When crude oil spills due to an accident, a diffusion barrier is generally installed to prevent the spread of crude oil, and oil recovery paper is sprayed or a coagulant is sprayed to recover the crude oil. However, the diffusion barrier has a problem that it can not properly prevent the diffusion of crude oil because it takes a long time to install, and since the process is manually carried out when oil recovery paper or coagulant spraying, not only does the efficiency decrease significantly in terms of time and cost, There is a problem that can not be recycled.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The same or similar reference numerals are used throughout the drawings for portions having similar functions and functions.

In addition, in the entire specification, when a part is referred to as being 'connected' to another part, it may be referred to as 'indirectly connected' not only with 'directly connected' . Also, to "include" an element means that it may include other elements, rather than excluding other elements, unless specifically stated otherwise.

1 is a perspective view of a crude oil diffusion preventing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the crude oil diffusion preventing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is crude oil according to an embodiment of the present invention It is a block diagram of a diffusion prevention apparatus. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, crude oil diffusion prevention device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the tube 100, air pump 200, sea water pump 300, frame 400, It may be configured to include a switch 500.

The tube 100 rises to a certain height and surrounds an area in which crude oil is leaked to prevent the spread of crude oil. In general, a diffusion barrier (not shown) prevents the spread of crude oil by using a method of blocking a certain height of the sea surface in consideration of the spilled crude oil floating on the sea surface, but because the crude oil is not sufficiently high, the crude oil is easily There is a problem that it can cross the diffusion barrier. Therefore, the present invention can ensure a sufficient height by using the tube 100 can block the diffusion of crude oil.

In this case, the tube 100 is injected with sea water as well as air, which is to ensure a sufficient draft of the tube 100. Crude oil is lighter than sea water, so it floats on sea level, but because it can flow below a certain level due to sudden waves, it is impossible to prevent oil from spreading properly by simply blocking sea level. Therefore, the seawater having a sufficient density is injected into the lower end of the tube 100, and the present invention is installed on the sea surface, so that the seawater can be supplied to the tube 100 very easily.

In general, since the crude oil carrier 20 has a total length (LOA) of about 150 to 300 m, the tube 100 includes not only the crude oil carrier 20 but also the crude oil diffused from the crude oil carrier 20. It should be sized to cover it. However, when manufacturing and storing the crude oil carrier 20 to the size surrounding the storage and installation may have a considerable difficulty, the tube 100 of the present invention can be configured in a form in which a plurality of unit tubes 110 are connected. . In this case, each unit tube 110 may be provided with an air pump 200, a sea water pump 300, and a frame 400, respectively.

The unit tube 110 is a connection unit of the tube 100 to prevent the spread of crude oil, and when the crude oil leaks, the user connects the unit tube 110 to complete the overall shape of the tube 100 to spread the crude oil. You can block. At this time, the unit tube 110 has a height of 5 to 30m, the draft can be 20 to 70% of the height, so as to cover the oil spilled area sufficiently, the length is 10 to 50m and a total of 5 to 100 Can be configured. Of course, each of the unit tubes 110 should all have the same size. This is to allow the tube 100 to which the unit tube 110 is connected to maintain a stable state as a whole. A method of connecting the unit tube 110 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a view showing a unit tube coupling state of the crude oil diffusion preventing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 4, the unit tube 110 of the crude oil diffusion prevention device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, is connected in the form of a zipper (not shown) or through a magnetic material (not shown) Can be connected. However, since the portions to be connected may be more vulnerable to oil spills than other portions, the spill prevention layer 111 may be formed on both sides of the unit tube 110 to prevent the oil from flowing out through the connection portion.

At this time, as shown in (a) of Figure 4 by providing a zipper or a magnetic material in the leakage prevention film 111, by using a method of coupling the leakage prevention film 111 to the side of the other unit tube 110, or FIG. As shown in (b) of FIG. 4, the spill prevention film 111 overlaps the leak prevention film 111 of the other unit tube 110 by a certain amount so that crude oil never leaks out even through the connection portion of the unit tube 110. can do.

The air pump 200 is provided inside the tube 100 to inject air to the upper end of the tube 100. By injecting air to ensure that the tube 100 is maintained at sea level. In this case, the air pump 200 may receive the start signal from the switch 500 through the wireless network to perform air injection.

The seawater pump 300 is provided inside the tube 100 to inject seawater into the lower end of the tube 100. When only the air is injected into the tube 100 by the air pump 200, the tube 100 is floating above the sea level, so it cannot block at all the flow of crude oil flowing out from the bottom of the sea surface. Of course, a certain portion of the tube 100 may be immersed in seawater by the weight of the air pump 200 and the seawater pump 300 and the tube 100 installed inside the tube 100, but this is not sufficient. Therefore, the seawater can be injected into the tube 100 using the seawater pump 300 so that the tube 100 has a constant draft, and the draft of the tube 100 is 20 to 70% of the overall height as described above. Can be.

The frame 400 fixes the air pump 200 and the sea water pump 300, and divides a space into which air is injected and a space into which sea water is injected. It is not necessary to completely isolate the upper end of the tube 100 into which the air is injected and the lower end of the tube 100 into which the sea water is injected. However, when seawater is introduced into the air pump 200, the function of the air pump 200 is impaired. It should be able to block the air pump 200 so that the sea water does not touch. In addition, the frame 400 should allow the air pump 200 and the sea water pump 300 to be completely fixed at a predetermined position in the tube 100, which is even though the present invention moves by waves or wind. This is to prevent the configuration of the separation.

The frame 400 may be made of a polymer material for convenience of storage and reduction of manufacturing cost, and the same is true of the tube 100. In addition, the tube 100 and the frame 400 may be integrally molded to simplify the manufacturing process.

The switch 500 transmits a start signal of air or seawater injection to the air pump 200 and the seawater pump 300. When the pumps 200 and 300 are unnecessarily operated during storage and air or the like is injected into the tube 100, the size of the tube 100 may become very large, and thus the state may become impossible to store the air pump. 200 and the seawater pump 300 should operate from when the tube 100 is located at sea level or at least from the time it is exposed to the outside.

If the switch 500 is provided in the air pump 200 and the sea water pump 300 itself, the switch 500 is installed on the inside or the surface of the tube 100 so that the user substantially switches the switch 500. There is a problem that you can not operate at all. Therefore, the switch 500 of the present invention may be installed at a position away from the tube 100, and more specifically, the user may conveniently install the tube 100 in the cockpit of the crude oil carrier 20 storing the present invention. Allow air to be injected. In this case, the air pump 200 and the sea water pump 300 may receive a start signal from the switch 500 through a wireless network. This is because when the wired method is used, crude oil may stick to a line (not shown), which may prevent the recovery of the crude oil.

The present invention may be embodied in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
