Abstract

Sealed floating platform with an open bell in the bottom that eliminates undulation and compensates for weight and movement thereon, providing a safe, stable surface for aquatic uses.

Description

STABILIZED FLOATING PLATFORM

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The need to take advantage of marine resources has led to the invention of boats, platforms and docks, which are increasingly safe and of greater capacity.

In the case of platforms, such as oil companies, they are high-budget structures that are not available to other, more economical operations that they require, also at low cost security.

This is the first that has brought the invention of the Platform.

DESCRIPTION

The stabilized floating platform is a safe surface for use in aquatic environments.

The novelty in its operation is that unlike a boat almost completely suppresses the undulation and stabilizes supporting the weight on its surface, without overturning and without having to anchor to the bottom as it happens with other platforms and docks.

The platform is a sealed floating surface of low density material with a stabilizing hood open at the bottom that allows the water to freely compensate the weight on its surface and the natural undulation.

EXPLANATION OF DRAWINGS

Fig. 1 Front view with A-A 'cut. It shows the sealed platform (1) and the stabilizing bell (2) in its suitable proportional form. General sample profile. Fig. 2 Top view. The shape of the surface of the platform (1) has to be of radial and circular symmetry in the stabilizing bell (2) for its ideal use.

Fig. 3 Isometric view with B-B 'section. Explicit view of the form and proportion in its best use.

Fig. 4 Behavior of water ripple. The undulation (3) inside the bell (2) is interrupted by the absence of free air-water contact on the surface whereby the flotation (1) remains stable.

Fig. 5 The compensation produced by the water (4) within the hood (2) is described when the platform (1) supports an eccentric weight (5) on the surface avoiding the rollover.

Fig. 6 It is observed how the water inside the bell (6) supports at the level of the valleys of the waves the platform with the excessive undulation (7) stabilizing it.

Fig. 7 The weight (8) is arranged concentrically and with radial symmetry to balance the platform that will remain in flotation at the level allowed by the average density of the weight supported and the platform.

Fig. 15 Top view of the platform used as an artificial island, showing the correct distribution of the elements such as, house (13), warehouse (14), drinking water

(15) and palm trees or decorative elements (16). NOTE:

Depending on the use of the flotation profile, it can be adapted without significantly altering the relationship between the volume contained in the stabilizer (2) and the volume contained in the float (1).

Formula 2: _Vplaιφmia ^^ ψ ^

A body immersed in a liquid receives a thrust equal to the weight of the liquid dislodged by (or which can float. On the platform besides this the liquid that rises from the surface inside the hood compensates as a balance the pressure on the platform, as it happens in fig. 5.

The material for its manufacture is according to its use taking care that the total density of the platform is lower than that of the water, and it is sufficiently resistant to withstand the pressure changes within the hood. The possibilities of application and use of the invention can be very wide since its physical characteristics are the same in scale, either in a toy or on an artificial island.
