Description

{FLOATING SUPPORTER}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a floatable support for water installation.

In general, an object requiring fixed support (hereinafter referred to as "object support") to perform a specific purpose is installed via a support in various places where a certain area can be ensured, such as a land, a waterfront, or a roof or roof of a building .

For example, the object support such as the solar panel is mainly installed in low-cost forest or agricultural land due to its area-intensive nature, which causes a problem of damaging forests and landscapes. As an alternative to this, A method for installing an object support in a vehicle is introduced.

The method of installing the object support to the aquaria is to prevent the generation of algae by blocking the sunlight by forming a shadow on the surface of the water due to the shadow of the object support without damaging the natural landscape or the environment, It is effective in recent years.

In order to install a target support on a waterfront, a float-type support for a water-holding installation is required. Conventionally, a float-type support for a water-holding installation is constructed by connecting a steel frame frame to a plurality of buoyant bodies used in a floating bridge or a mooring facility of a ship, It is accomplished through the structure of installing the object supports such as panels.

However, in the above-mentioned floating type floating support for a water-mounted type as described above, a separate buoyant body having a strong buoyancy is used so that the steel frame can float on the water surface. This buoyant body is made of plastic or EPS material Lt; / RTI >

According to a survey by Korea Ocean Research & Development Institute, it is reported that the plastic buoyant body gradually undergoes deformation due to ultraviolet ray and temperature change over time and eventually breaks down, and the styrofoam buoyant body is also fine Particulate contamination of the water environment has been reported to be serious.

As such, the plastic or styrofoam buoyant body has low durability and has a structural problem that can be easily broken even in small impacts such as waves and tides due to direct contact with water. This results in contamination of the underwater environment and increases the cost of replacing the buoyant body, and in severe cases, the floating support may lose its balance and overturn and cause serious problems of damaging the expensive support.

In addition, the conventional floatable floating support has a problem in that it is complicated in structure and requires a lot of cost because a steel frame needs to be connected to a separate buoyant body as described above.

1 and 2, a floating type floating support 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first support member 100, a second support member 200, a third support member 300, Wherein the first support member 100 may include an outer case 110 and a float 120.

Specifically, the first support member 100 is an element provided to float on the water main by its own buoyancy. Since the first support member 100 retains buoyancy itself as well as a support for supporting the object support 310 such as a solar panel, A role for flooding the entire floating support according to the example to the water phase can be performed in combination.

The first support member 100 may be provided in a plurality of at least two or more in order to provide buoyancy for flooding the entire floating support 100. The first support member 100 may be provided at a predetermined interval So that the load applied from the second support member 200 and the third support member 300 is equally burdened, so that the entire floating support can be stably suspended in the water phase.

The first support member 100 may have a circular or square cross-section, and may be provided with a bar structure that is elongated in the longitudinal direction as a whole.

The present embodiment is embodied as a rod structure having a rectangular cross section which is longer in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction by way of example, but may be implemented in other shapes or structures as necessary. The detailed structure and configuration of the first support member 100 according to the present embodiment will be described later in detail.

The second support member 200 is an element provided at the upper portion of the first support member 100 in a plurality of directions in a direction crossing the first support member 100.

The second support member 200 may be spaced apart from the neighboring second support members 200 at predetermined intervals. However, the second support member 200 does not necessarily have to be spaced apart from the other second support members 200 at regular intervals, and the interval can be appropriately adjusted as needed.

Although the second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the drawing, the second support member 200 is disposed in a direction orthogonal to the first support member 100, but it is not necessarily required to be orthogonal to each other, Once deployed is sufficient.

The third support member 300 may protrude to a predetermined height above the second support member 200 to support the target support 310 in direct contact with the target support 310 such as a solar panel Element.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of third support members 300 may be provided, and the third support members 300 may be spaced from the neighboring third support members 300 at predetermined intervals.

Here, the third support member 300 may be provided in a right triangle structure in which an inclined surface is formed on one side, and may be implemented as a frame fixedly coupled to the second support member 200. The third support members 300 may be spaced apart at predetermined intervals along the length direction of the second support member 200.

The inclined surface of the third support member 300 may be provided with a target support 310 to support the target support 310. When the target support 310 is a solar panel, The angle can be set in consideration of the altitude of the southern part of the sun.

Hereinafter, the structure and structure of the first support member 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

The first support member 100 may include an outer case 110 and a float 120 provided inside the outer case 110 to provide buoyancy.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer case 110 includes a cap portion 111, which is divided into a symmetrical structure as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, And a cup portion 112. [0033]

The cap part 111 is formed to be convex upward as an element disposed on the upper part of the outer case 110 and the cup part 112 may be recessed downward as an element disposed on the lower part of the outer case 110. (See Fig. 5 (a)).

The cap portion 111 and the cup portion 112, which are divided into a symmetrical structure, are coupled to each other to form a closed space therein. (See Fig. 5 (b)).

A flange portion 113 is formed at both ends of the outer case 110 (the cap portion 111 and the cup portion 112) so as to protrude to a predetermined length so that the divided cap portion 111 and the cup portion 112 can be easily engaged with each other. .

The flange portion 113 of the cap portion 111 and the flange portion 113 of the cup portion 112 come into close contact with each other and are engaged with each other through the fastening means b such as a bolt, It is possible to seal the inside so as to prevent the inflow of air (see Fig. 5 (c)).

In addition, since the outer case 110 is an element directly contacting with water, it should not be corroded and should be light in weight. The material of the outer case 110 may be provided by extruding and molding aluminum, which is a relatively light and corrosion- have.

However, the outer case 110 is not necessarily made of aluminum, but may be made of another material (galvanized steel) as long as it is lightweight and strong in corrosion resistance.

As shown in FIG. 5, the float 120 is an element that is embedded in the closed space of the outer case 110 and provides buoyancy so that the first support member 100 floats on its own. The float 120 may be installed in the sealed space of the outer case 110 to fill the polyethylene foam.

Since the float 120 is enclosed by the outer case 110 and is protected from permeation of moisture or air outside, it is not corroded, denatured, or damaged even after a long period of time. It is possible to prevent environmental pollution due to damage of the float 120.

Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the number of the first support members 100 may be set to have a constant ratio with respect to the number of the third support members 300.

1 and 2, the number of the first support members 100 is equal to the number of the third support member 300: the first support member 100 = 4: 3. ≪ / RTI >

The reason for setting this ratio is to provide buoyancy to the entirety of the floating support with a minimum number of the first support members 100, since the other structures can be made as light as possible using relatively light materials, Since the target support 310 installed on the third support member 300 is relatively heavy, the number of the first support members 100 may be set to a minimum relative to the number of the third support members 300 desirable.

Accordingly, when considering the load relationship between the first support member 100 and the third support member 300 under the condition that the draft of the first support member 100 is 50% or less, It is experimentally obtained that three first support members 100 per four third support members 300 are used.

Here, the installation position of the first support member 100 may be spaced apart from the lower portion of the second support member 200 by a predetermined distance. According to an embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the second support member 200 The first support members 100 may be disposed one by one and the second support members 200 may be provided at a center thereof. This is advantageous in that stable floating of the floating support can be expected with the minimum of the first support members 100. [

In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a separate foot member 210 may be provided between the third support members 300 as shown in FIGS.

3, the first support member 100 is disposed between the third support members 300 on the lower portion of the second support member 200 (see FIG. 3) ≪ / RTI >

Since the passageway formed between the third support members 300 is a place where the user can walk for maintenance, maintenance, and management, the reaction force against the load of the pedestrian can be directly applied to the buoyancy of the first support member 100 The first support member 100 is disposed between the third support members 300 so that the first support member 100 can be provided.

At this time, the cap part 111 of the outer case 110 may be implemented to provide the function of the footing part incidentally as shown in FIG.

If the cap part 111 is also provided with a footing function, a separate footing member 210 is unnecessary as in the embodiment 10 of the present invention, thereby reducing the number of components and thus the cost can be reduced .

4 (a) and 1 (b), when the cap part 111 is provided with a step function, the length direction of the cap part 111 is set to be A non-slip portion 130 spaced apart at regular intervals may be formed.

The non-slipping part 130 may be formed as a long hole formed by punching the upper surface of the cap part 111 as shown in FIG. 4 (c). When the slip part 130 is punched out from the upper surface of the cap part 111 The protruding portion can be provided not to completely separate from the cap portion 111 but to protrude upwardly or downwardly from the surface of the cap portion 111 to protrude.

4 (a) and 4 (b), the non-slipping part 130 may be provided in two lines in the cap part 111, and the projections 131 may be provided in the longitudinal direction of the cap part 111 And the other projections 131 adjacent in the width direction are formed alternately with upward projecting or downward projecting. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pedestrian, which is walking on the upper surface of the cap portion 111, from slipping.

6 and 6, the first and second supporting members 100 and 200 may be detachably connected to each other by a connecting member 400 (not shown) ).
