  • Patent number: 11773561
    Abstract: Provided is a combined suction anchor reinforced by a grouting spiral anchor, including a gravity suction anchor, an L-shaped skirt board and a spiral anchor. The gravity suction anchor includes a suction anchor top plate and a wall of a suction anchor barrel body and uses a concrete press block to reach an estimated set position faster during penetration due to self-weight thereof. Thereafter, the skirt board is lifted to outside of the suction anchor through a lug, and a fixing bolt is used to connect the skirt board to the suction anchor. The spiral anchor rod passes through a skirt board hole performed in the skirt board to penetrate into a deep site of seabed, and concrete is grouted through the skirt board hole to a seabed soil area loosened due to penetration of the spiral anchor rod, thereby forming a concrete reinforced area after the concrete solidifies.

  • Patent number: 11353384
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing tangential and normal resistance of an anchor chain and soil under an equivalent elastic boundary and a method therefor, and the apparatus includes a support frame, a transmission device (4), an air pressure loading system, a test box (5), a vertical displacement applying part (6), a tangential anchor chain unit (7), a normal anchor chain unit (8), etc. The present disclosure can, by using a spring of equal stiffness to simulate the elastic boundary and being capable of overcoming an influence of boundary conditions, greatly reduce a size of the test box, thereby effectively saving materials and reducing difficulty of a test operation; moreover, it integrates the normal and tangential resistance tests into one, which can measure tangential and normal interactions of the anchor chain and the soil at the same time.

  • Patent number: 11346746
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a testing apparatus for directional simulation of dynamic collision between a deep-sea shell structure and seabed, including: a launching device, a high-pressure water pump device, a high-speed camera, a sensor system, a data collection and control system, etc. This device is installed in a geotechnical centrifuge for experiment, a super-gravity environment is provided to meet requirements of simulation of a deep-sea environment, and a deep-sea high-pressure environment is created through a high-pressure water pump device by superposition. A direction of the launching device is adjusted through a universal rotating shaft to control the shell structure to be launched from a specified direction to collide with soil at a predetermined position. A high-speed camera is used to capture an entire experiment process, and strain and acceleration sensors are used to collect experiment data.

  • Patent number: 11242116
    Abstract: A towing anchor capable of extending wing plate and an installation method therefor are provided. The towing anchor includes a main anchor plate and two wing plates which can slide outwards relative to the main anchor plate and will not be detached from the main anchor plate. The main anchor plate is anchored with a mooring steel cable connected to a towing vessel. The main anchor plate is further provided with a limit cable-receiving groove, in which first, second and third fixed pulleys are respectively provided correspondingly to each of the two wing plates. One end of a tensioning steel cable is fixed to an inner edge of the wing plate, and the other end of the tensioning steel cable sequentially surrounds the third, second, and first fixed pulleys and then passes through an opening formed at middle position of the groove to be connected to the towing vessel.
