It includes a chain of floating panels (3) made up of floating elements (5) supported by frames (4) secured and guided in piles (2-2') with freedom of upward and downward movement. To this end, it comprises at least a front line (1) of piles (2) and a rear line (1') of piles (2'), the floating panels (3) being secured to the latter, the piles (2-2') of the two lines (1-1') being rigidly secured to one another by means of connection elements. Preferably, the piles (2-2') of the two lines (1-1') are connected by intermediate beams (9) joined to the free bases of pairs of facing piles (2-2'), said intermediate beams (9) preferably having a T-section.

Description

BARRERA ROMPEOLAS FLOTANTE  FLOATING BREAKER BARRIER
DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Objeto de la invención Object of the invention
La presente invención, según se expresa en el anunciado de esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una barrera rompeolas flotante que es del tipo de las que acompañan a la marea en sus movimientos de elevación y descenso, ofreciendo siempre el mismo frente de ataque a las olas. The present invention, as expressed in the announcement of this specification, refers to a floating breakwater barrier that is of the type that accompanies the tide in its movements of elevation and descent, always offering the same attack front to the waves.
La barrera comprende básicamente en principio pantallas flotantes encadenadas acopladas en pilotes anclados al fondo marino, de manera que tales pantallas suben y bajan guiadas en los pilotos de acuerdo con las mareas. The barrier basically comprises chained floating screens coupled on piles anchored to the seabed, so that such screens rise and fall guided on the pilots according to the tides.
Partiendo de esta premisa, el objeto de la invención es una barrera rompeolas flotante que comprende una característica disposición de los pilotes que proporciona una gran resistencia opositora al oleaje, pudiendo mantener el diámetro de los pilotes sin aumentar el mismo y pudiendo también mantener entre ellos la distancia sin ser preciso disminuir la misma con la incorporación de un número mayor de pilotes en la alineación de pilotes que incorpora las pantallas flotantes. Antecedentes de la invención Starting from this premise, the object of the invention is a floating breakwater barrier that comprises a characteristic arrangement of the piles that provides a great resistance to the waves, being able to maintain the diameter of the piles without increasing the same and also maintaining between them the distance without having to reduce it with the incorporation of a greater number of piles in the pile alignment that incorporates the floating screens. Background of the invention
El modelo de utilidad n° 200600832 de la misma firma solicitante que de la presenta invención, contempla una barrera rompeolas flotante que acompaña a la marea en sus movimientos de elevación y descenso ofreciendo siempre el mismo frente de ataque a la ola, estando formada por pantallas encadenadas que deslizan verticalmente entre pilotos anclados al fondo del mar en proximidad a la costa. También es conocido el modelo de utilidad n° 200800282 que es propiedad igualmente de la firma del modelo de utilidad que nos ocupa. The utility model No. 200600832 of the same applicant firm that of the present invention, contemplates a floating breakwater barrier that accompanies the tide in its movements of elevation and descent always offering the same attack front to the wave, being formed by screens chains that slide vertically between pilots anchored to the bottom of the sea in proximity to the coast. It is also known the utility model No. 200800282 which is also owned by the firm of the utility model that concerns us.
En todos los casos, se presenta una sola y única alineación de pilotes que soportan las pantallas encadenadas, de manera que cuando los esfuerzos a soportar debido a las olas son mayores, se precisa disponer de un mayor número de pilotes en esa única alineación con menor anchura de pantalla como es evidente y también se puede precisar que el diámetro de los pilotes tengan que ser de mayor diámetro, todo ello con el fin de evitar el vuelcro y arranque de los pilotes debido a la gran fuerza ejercida por las olas, con lo cual la barrera tendrá un mayor costo. In all cases, there is a single and unique alignment of piles that support the chained screens, so that when the efforts to support due to the waves are greater, it is necessary to have a greater number of piles in that single alignment with less screen width as is evident and it can also be specified that the diameter of the piles must be larger in diameter, all in order to avoid the turning and starting of the piles due to the great force exerted by the waves, with which barrier will have a higher cost.
Descripción de la invención Con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos y evitar los inconvenientes mencionados en los apartados anteriores, la invención propone una barrera rompeolas flotante que se determina a partir de una pluralidad de pantallas flotantes que están encadenadas y presentan una forma rectangular, con una serie de cilindros huecos o flotadores para que pueda acompañar a la marea en su movimiento. El bastidor incluye en sus extremos una pareja de soportes con ruedas de guía en los pilotes de forma que abrazan parcialmente al pilote al estar desfasadas angularmente en la periferia cilindrica del mismo y cuyos ejes están montados entre pares de orejetas respectivas. Description of the invention In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes a floating breakwater barrier that is determined from a plurality of floating screens that are chained and have a rectangular shape, with a series of hollow cylinders or floats so you can accompany the tide in your movement. The frame includes at its ends a pair of supports with guide wheels on the piles so that they partially embrace the pile as they are angularly offset in the cylindrical periphery thereof and whose axes are mounted between pairs of respective lugs.
Partiendo de esta premisa, la barrera rompeolas flotante se caracteriza porque comprende al menos dos alineaciones de pilotes, anterior y posterior, vinculados entres si mediante unas vigas intermedias, de manera que en una realización, cada par de pilotes pertenecientes a distintas alineaciones, se unen mediante un elemento de unión, tal como una viga, con lo cual se consigue un robusto sistema estructural de pilotes que no precisa aumentar el diámetro de tales pilotes que incorporan las pantallas encadenadas, evitándose con este nuevo sistema estructural la necesidad de tener que aumentar el número de pilotes en la alineación que incorpora las pantallas flotantes encadenadas. A continuación para facilitar una mejor comprensión de esta memoria descriptiva y formando parte integrante de la misma se acompañan unas figuras en las que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha representado el objeto de la invención. Starting from this premise, the floating breakwater barrier is characterized in that it comprises at least two pile alignments, anterior and posterior, linked between if by means of intermediate beams, so that in one embodiment, each pair of piles belonging to different alignments, are joined by means of a connecting element, such as a beam, whereby a robust structural pile system is achieved that does not need to increase the diameter of such piles incorporating the chained screens, avoiding with this new structural system the need to increase the number of piles in the alignment that incorporates the chained floating screens. Next, in order to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and forming an integral part thereof, some figures are attached in which the object of the invention has been shown as an illustrative and non-limiting nature.

Figure 3.- It shows a perspective view where two piles belonging to different alignments are shown and which support each other by means of a beam, thus obtaining a structural system of great resistance and stability. Description of the preferred embodiment
Considerando la numeración adoptada en las figuras, la barrera rompeolas flotante comprende una primera alineación anterior 1 de pilotes 2 y una segunda alineación posterior V de pilotes 2', estando éstos y aquéllos anclados al suelo. Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the floating breakwater barrier comprises a first front alignment 1 of piles 2 and a second rear alignment V of piles 2 ', these and those being anchored to the ground.
Sobre los pilotes 2' de la alineación posterior V se montan y guían unas pantallas flotantes 3 que deslizan verticalmente con libertad con los movimientos de las mareas y oleaje.  On the piles 2 'of the rear alignment V, floating screens 3 are mounted and guided vertically freely with the movements of the tides and waves.
Cada pantalla flotante 3 comprende básicamente un bastidor rectangular 4 que soporta una sucesión de elementos flotadores 5. a su vez, las pantallas flotantes 3 se refuerzan mediante unos travesaños esquinados 6. El guiado y acoplamiento de las pantallas flotantes 3 es como se describe en el modelo de utilidad n° 200800282, comprendiendo para ello unos cabezales 7 unidos a los bastidores rectangulares 4 de las pantallas flotantes 3, cabezales 7 provistos de varios rodillos radiales 8 que están en contacto con los pilotes 2' de la alineación posterior V siguiendo unos recorridos lineales correspondientes con generatrices de los citados pilotes 2' de esa alineación posterior 1 '. Each floating screen 3 basically comprises a rectangular frame 4 that supports a succession of float elements 5. in turn, the floating screens 3 are reinforced by means of cross-members 6. The guidance and coupling of the floating screens 3 is as described in the utility model No. 200800282, comprising heads 7 attached to the rectangular frames 4 of the floating screens 3, heads 7 provided with several radial rollers 8 which are in contact with the piles 2 'of the rear alignment V following corresponding linear paths with generatrices of said piles 2' of that rear alignment 1 '.
Ambas alineaciones 1 -1 ' de pilotes 2-2' se vinculan entre sí mediante unas características vigas intermedias 9, cada una de las cuales une dos pilotes enfrentados: uno 2 perteneciente a la alineación anterior 1 y otro 2' perteneciente a la alineación posterior 1 '. Estas vigas intermedias 9 presentan un perfil en forma de doble "T", aunque podrían presentar otros perfiles cualesquiera.  Both alignments 1 -1 'of piles 2-2' are linked to each other by means of intermediate beams 9, each of which joins two facing piles: one 2 belonging to the previous alignment 1 and another 2 'belonging to the rear alignment one '. These intermediate beams 9 have a double "T" shaped profile, although they could have any other profiles.
A su vez, cada viga intermedia 9 une dos pilotes enfrentados 2-2' por los extremos libres de tales pilotes 2-2'.  In turn, each intermediate beam 9 joins two piles facing 2-2 'by the free ends of such piles 2-2'.
Obtenemos así un característico sistema estructural de pilotes de gran resistencia y robustez.  We thus obtain a characteristic structural system of high strength and sturdy piles.
