Abstract

A method of storing cargo under water consists in storing cargo under water in a storage sealed room, for example in the form of a hemispherical structure, which is delivered to the land by means of reloading means, and the storage sealed room is located on a floating platform, which is installed in the port area on the port allows free passage of seagoing vessels over it, the platform being anchored, in the form of anchor chain (s), or anchor rope (s), tied to a dead anchor or anchors, the anchor link is provided with a device for fixing and changing the working length of the anchor link, while the storage tight room is equipped with immersion and floating system, as well as equipped with lacport and forklifts platform has platforms for reloading cargo in containers for auxiliary vessels for transporting them to the shore, with the storage room being sealed connected to the shore power plant or having its own autonomous installation, as well as having we are life support staff.

Description

The device for storing cargo under water belongs to warehouse logistics, in particular to the technology and devices for storing cargo transported by water transport.

The well-known floating warehouse is a floating structure in the form of a barge, containing a waterproof hull and a storage room in the form of a special structure located on the deck of the barge (see Fig. 1.19, page 37 "Marine hydrotechnical structures on the continental shelf" (Publisher "Sudostroenie" , 1989).The disadvantage of this method is the need to provide space in the water area of the port or roadstead, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of using the area for receiving ships with cargo.

When setting up a floating warehouse on an open roadway, it can be exposed to storms.

At the same time, it must be towed to the port-storage, due to the danger of an accident.

The closest analogue is an underwater warehouse, which contains a hermetic storage room that is under water in a non-moving state (see patent 05 9, 624, 034 B1, Arg. 18, 2017; MPK8 vbbsa 1/137; cObE 7/00; VbBs . 1/06). This underwater warehouse is characterized by insufficiently broad technological capabilities, as this is hindered by the limited area of the port's water area, which should be used as much as possible for receiving and processing cargo ships. Traditional infrastructure schemes of existing ports do not allow for the placement of stationary engineering structures in the water area.

The purpose of the useful model is to store cargo, increase the efficiency of transportation and operational processing of containers with cargo at the coastline.

The useful model is based on the task of reducing the processing time of ships and containers during their loading and unloading, as well as increasing cargo flows. With limited port infrastructure. The device for storing cargo can be made with the help of existing technical means (containers, carrier vessels, engineering construction in the form of a hermetically sealed warehouse, etc.).

The task is solved by the fact that the device for storing cargo under water, consisting of an airtight storage room, for example, in the form of a hemispherical structure, in addition, the airtight storage room is located on a floating platform that is installed in the water area of the port or on a raid at a depth that allows free the passage of sea vessels above it, and the platform with the help of an anchor link, in the form of

From an anchor chain or chains or an anchor rope or ropes, connected to a dead anchor or anchors, while the anchor link is equipped with a device for fixing and changing the working length of the anchor link, while the sealed storage room is equipped with a system of sinking and floating, and is also equipped with a lift and loaders, and the platform has platforms for transshipment of cargo in containers to auxiliary vessels for

C5 transporting them to the shore, while the sealed storage room is connected to the shore power plant or has its own autonomous plant, and can also have personnel life support systems.

The essence of the useful model is explained by the drawings: in fig. 1 shows the layout of the device for storing cargo in an underwater position, at the bottom of the water area; in fig. 2 shows the layout of the device for storing cargo in the surface position and the operation of transshipment of cargo in containers from the warehouse to the carrier ship; in fig. C shows the layout of the sealed storage room on the platform in the water area and on the raid in the plan view from above.

The device for storing cargo under water consists of a sealed storage room 1, for example, in the form of a hemispherical structure, while the sealed storage room 1 is located on a floating platform 2, which is installed in the water area of the port or on a roadway at a depth that allows free passage of sea vessels above it while the platform 2 is connected to the dead anchor 4 or anchors by means of an anchor link 3, in the form of an anchor chain or chains, or an anchor rope, or ropes, while the anchor link C is equipped with a device for fixing 5 and changing the working the length of the anchor line 3, while the sealed storage room is equipped with a diving and floating system 6, as well as equipped with a lathport 7 and loaders 8, and platform 2 has platforms for transshipment of cargo in containers 9 to auxiliary vessels 10 for transporting them to the shore 11 , while the sealed warehouse 1 is connected to the shore power plant or has its own autonomous in the installation, and may also have personnel life support systems.

The device for storing cargo under water works as follows: the cargo in containers bo 9 is transported to the area of the location of the sealed warehouse 1, which is on platform 2. The cargo in containers 9 is delivered by container carriers or other cargo ships. The platform 2, on which the sealed storage room 1 is located, emerges from the depth of the water area or the raid as a result of the operation of the diving-surfacing system 6 and is kept afloat in the overload area with the help of anchor links C, which are connected to the dead anchor 4. A container ship or other cargo vessel is moored to platform 2 and containers with cargo 9 are placed on platform 2 with the help of transshipment devices of platform 2 or with the help of cargo devices of a container ship. Then, with the help of loaders 8, containers with cargo 9 are moved through the opening of the open port 7 into the warehouse hermetically sealed premises 1, where they are stored.

After loading containers with cargo 9 into hermetic storage room 1, the hatch 7 is closed and with the help of a submersion-floating system b, after receiving water ballast in the ballast tank, platform 2 with hermetic storage room 1 is lowered to the bottom of the water area, while a layer remains above it water, which ensures the free passage of ships. At the same time, the length of the anchor link Z is limited by fasteners 5. If it is necessary to overload containers with cargo 9 on the shore 11, the platform 2 rises to the surface of the water with the help of a submersion-surfacing system. With the help of loaders, through the open port 7, containers with cargo 9 are moved to the open part of the platform and then, with the help of transshipment equipment, they are reloaded onto the deck of carrier vessels 10, which transport it to the shore 11.

Further cargo operations at the port berth or shore will be carried out in the traditional way.

The technical and economic effect consists in increasing the volume of cargo flows in the port due to the temporary storage of cargo in containers under water, with limited capacity of port overload devices and with a small area of berths. The loading and unloading time of ships near the shore is also reduced.
