Floating bulwark with flexible structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a floating bulwark with a flexible structure. The floating bulwark with the flexible structure comprises multiple water surface wave absorbing structural units, an underwater wave absorbing structure and an anchoring system. Each water surface wave absorbing structural unit comprises at least two cylinder-shaped floating cylinders. Every two adjacent cylinder-shaped floating cylinders are connected through a connection column in a rigid mode. The underwater wave absorbing structure comprises a wave-proof net and wave-proof balls. The wave-proof net is arranged below the cylinder-shaped floating cylinders. All the water surface wave absorbing structural units are elastically connected through connecting devices. With the cylinder-shaped floating cylinder connection structures and especially the double-connection-cylinder structures, materials can be effectively saved or the width of the bulwark can be effectively increased. By absorbing wave energy on the water surface and below the water surface, facilities can work normally. The connection devices can connect all the modules into a whole to fight against waves and collision among all the modules can be avoided. A concave steel plate can facilitate replacement of an aged rubber ring. The anchoring system can ensure safety working of the floating bulwark under the action of the waves, and meanwhile, the floating bulwark can work normally in water zones where piling is not convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of breakwaters, in particular to a floating breakwater with a flexible structure. Background technique [0002] Breakwater is a common port and coastal engineering structure, which is used to prevent the invasion of waves on the port area, maintain the stability of the waters in the port, and ensure the safe berthing, mooring, normal loading and unloading operations of ships and passengers going up and down in the port. [0003] According to the research and experiment of the wave theory, the energy of the wave is concentrated on the surface of the water body, and 98% of the total wave energy is concentrated in the depth range of three times the wave height below the water surface. However, the use of materials for traditional breakwaters (vertical and sloping) is completely incompatible with the distribution of wave energy. For example, the slope type breakwater uses the least material in the place...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional types of breakwaters (vertical and slope) are completely incompatible with the distribution of wave energy in the use of materials.

For example, the slope type breakwater uses the least material in the place where the wave energy is the most concentrated, but consumes a lot of material in the place where the wave energy is the smallest. With the increase of the depth of the project water area, the project cost increases sharply, and the construction becomes more complicated. very difficult

Moreover, the water circulation in the shelter area is limited, and it is easy to cause sediment deposition, coastal changes, and water pollution in the port.
