As shown in fig. 4 and 5, specifically, the plurality of guide flanges 91 and the plurality of connector bearing flanges 92 are uniformly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the connector 9, and the connector 9 is further connected with the tension tendons 93.
The base 8 is composed of an outer cylinder 84, a plurality of upper guide blocks 83 arranged on the upper inner wall of the outer cylinder 84, a plurality of lower guide blocks 81 arranged on the lower inner wall of the outer cylinder 84 and a plurality of base bearing flanges 82 arranged on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 84 and positioned at the upper end of the upper guide blocks 83, wherein the upper guide blocks 83 and the lower guide blocks 81 are arranged in a staggered manner, and grooves capable of placing the guide flanges 91 are formed in the upper guide blocks 83 and the lower guide blocks 81;
further, the mounting may be performed as follows:
the method comprises the following steps: the tension tendons 93 move downwards, the guide flange 91 of the connector 9 rotates under the guide of the arc surface at the upper part of the upper guide block 83, so that the guide flange 91 of the connector 9 slides into the groove of the lower guide block 81, and the tension tendons 93 cannot move downwards continuously;
and a second installation step: the tension tendon 93 moves upwards, the guide flange 91 of the connector 9 is inserted into the groove of the upper guide block 83 under the guidance of the inclined plane of the upper guide block 83, the connector bearing flange 92 of the connector 9 is in contact fit with the base bearing flange 82 of the base 8, the tension tendon 93 applies pretightening force, the installation is completed, and the connection state is maintained through the tensioning force of the tension tendon 93 after the connector 9 is connected with the base 8 in a matched manner.

Unloading step two: the tendons 93 are moved upward and the connector 9 is separated from the base 8.
As shown in fig. 4, 5 and 6, an auxiliary locking mechanism 1 is installed between an upper guide block 83 and a lower guide block 81 adjacent to the inner wall of the base 8, that is, an installation hole 85 is provided on the base 8 between the upper guide block 83 and the lower guide block 81, so that the telescopic member 12 can extend out of the inner wall surface of the base 8 along the installation hole 85, and the telescopic member 12 forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction, and further when the unloading step is caused by a severe ocean condition or the like (the downward pulling force is greater than the tensioning force of the tension tendons 93), the telescopic member 12 can extend out of the inner wall surface of the base 8 to block the falling of the connector 9, that is, the connector 9 is prevented from falling to the bottom of the outer cylinder 84, that is, after the telescopic member 12 is extended (the side end surface of the telescopic member 12) can block the guide flange 91, so that the side end surface of the telescopic member 12 forming the preset angle with the horizontal direction can slide into the groove of the lower guide block 81 in the base 8.
As shown in fig. 6, when the downward tension is lost, the tension tendon 93 moves upward under the action of the tension force of the tension tendon 93, the guide flange 91 moves upward, and slides into the groove of the upper guide block 83 along the inclined surface of the upper guide block 83, so that the connector bearing flange 92 and the base bearing flange 82 can be in contact and fit, and the normal use state is restored. So that the connector 9 can be prevented from being directly separated from the base 8 after being moved up the tension tendon 93.
It will be appreciated that the location of the mounting hole 85 may be determined by the path of the connector 9 falling from the groove of the upper guide block 83 and the location of the lower guide block 81, and only after the extension of the telescopic member 12 (the side end face of the telescopic member 12) may stop the guide flange 91, so that the guide flange 91 may slide into the groove of the lower guide block 81 in the base 8 along the side end face of the telescopic member 12 at a predetermined angle to the horizontal direction. And the fixing piece is provided with a limiting piece which limits the screwing piece to axially move along the threaded shaft, radially float and enable the screwing piece to rotate around the central line of the threaded shaft, after the screwing piece rotates by a preset angle, the threaded shaft drives the blocking piece to extend out of the inner wall surface of the base to a preset position, and the blocking piece forms a preset angle with the horizontal direction.
Further, referring to fig. 7-9, in this embodiment, a through hole 111 is provided on the fixing member 11, the telescopic member 12 includes a threaded shaft 121, a blocking member 122 and a screwing member 123 that are matched with the through hole 111 (may be a screw hole, a round hole, etc., only needs to ensure that the threaded shaft 121 can pass through), wherein the threaded shaft 121 passes through the rear end of the through hole 111 and is fixedly connected with the blocking member 122, the other end is in threaded connection with the screwing member 123, and the fixing member 11 is provided with a limiting member 112 that limits the axial movement and radial movement of the screwing member 123 along the threaded shaft 121 and enables the screwing member 123 to perform a rotational movement about the center line of the threaded shaft 121, after the installation with the base 8 is completed, the screwing member 123 rotates by a preset angle, the threaded shaft 121 drives the blocking member 122 to stretch out of the inner wall surface of the base 8 to a preset position, and the blocking member 122 forms a preset angle with a horizontal direction (the horizontal direction refers to the horizontal direction in fig. 4).
The screwing member 123 is in threaded connection with the threaded shaft 121, and the screwing member 123 is limited by the limiting member 112, so that the axial movement (movement and rotation) and the radial movement of the screwing member 123 can not be performed, so that the screwing member 123 moves around the center line of the threaded shaft 121 in the limiting member 112, and when the screwing member 123 is rotated, the threaded shaft 121 can be screwed out of the threaded engagement section of the screwing member 123 by a certain distance (similar to a screw transmission) due to the threaded connection of the screwing member 123 and the threaded shaft 121, that is, the rotational movement of the screwing member 123 can be converted into the movement of the threaded shaft 121, so that the threaded shaft 121 can pass through the through hole 111 in the fixing member 11 and be screwed out by a certain distance, and the blocking member 122 can be driven to extend by a certain distance, and simultaneously when the screwing member 123 is reversely rotated, the threaded shaft 121 can be screwed into the threaded engagement section of the screwing member 123 by a certain distance, so that the blocking member 122 is contracted into the mounting hole 85.
Further, after the screwing member 123 rotates by the predetermined angle, the threaded shaft 121 drives the blocking member 122 to extend out of the inner wall surface of the base 8 to the predetermined position, and the blocking member 122 forms the predetermined angle with the horizontal direction (the horizontal direction refers to the horizontal direction in fig. 4), so that when the unloading step is performed due to the severe ocean condition or the like (the downward pulling force is greater than the tensioning force of the tension tendon 93), the blocking member 122 can block the falling of the connecting head 9, i.e. prevent the connecting head 9 from falling to the bottom of the outer cylinder 84, i.e. the side end surface of the blocking member 122 can block the guiding flange 91, so that the guiding flange 91 can slide into the groove of the lower guiding block 81 in the base 8 along the side end surface of the blocking member 122 forming the predetermined angle with the horizontal direction.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7 to 9, the stopper 112 includes a radial stopper 1121 fixed to the fixing member 11 and restricting radial movement of the screw 123 along the screw shaft 121, and an axial stopper 1122 extending radially from an end of the radial stopper 1121 away from the fixing member 11 and restricting axial movement of the screw 123 along the screw shaft 121.
The above-mentioned, specifically, the limiting member 112 includes a radial limiting portion 1121 and an axial limiting portion 1122, which are specifically in a structure similar to a buckle, in order to cooperate with the above-mentioned limiting member 112, a step-like structure may be provided on the screwing member 123, and then the radial limiting portion 1121 and the axial limiting portion 1122 on the limiting member 112 are formed with a space for accommodating the step structure, so as to limit the radial play and the axial movement (movement and rotation) of the screwing member 123, so that the screwing member 123 can only perform a rotational movement about the center line of the threaded shaft 123, and meanwhile, in order to ensure that the screwing member 123 can smoothly perform a rotational movement about the center line of the threaded shaft 123, the space for accommodating the step structure may be slightly larger than the step structure.
Further, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the auxiliary locking mechanism 1 further includes an auxiliary member 13, one end of the auxiliary member 13 is fixedly connected with the blocking member 122, and the other end is movably connected with the fixing member 11.
The auxiliary member 13 may serve as a guide, and may serve as an auxiliary support between the fixing member 11 and the blocking member 121, so that the bearing capacity of the threaded shaft 121 may be reduced, and further, in this embodiment, as shown in the drawing, the auxiliary member 13 may include two shafts symmetrically disposed about the threaded shaft 121, and further, the two shafts may be in interference fit (fixed) with the blocking member 122, and in clearance fit (movable connection) with the fixing member 11.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the stopper 122 and the mounting hole 85 are provided with a first step 1221 and a second step 851, respectively, which are engaged with each other to limit the moving distance of the stopper 122.
The cooperation of the first step 1221 and the second step 851 can not only limit the movement distance of the blocking member 122, i.e. limit the distance that the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123, but also prevent the threaded shaft 121 from being unscrewed too far and being separated from the threaded section of the screwing member 123, i.e. the threaded shaft 121 is integrally screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123;
the function of fixing the blocking member 122 after the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123 by a preset distance can also be achieved, since the blocking member 122 at the end of the threaded shaft 121 is poor in bearing capacity after the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123 by a certain distance, namely, if the blocking member 122 is too large in bearing capacity after the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123, the blocking member 122 can be caused to rotate, namely, the threaded shaft 121 rotates, and then the blocking member 122 is easy to rotate to be located at a position different from an expected position, and further, the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123 through the pretightening force of threads, so that the first stepped portion 1221 on the blocking member 122 is tightly connected with the second stepped portion 851 on the mounting hole 85, and further, the bearing capacity of the blocking member 122 can be increased, and requirements of different environments can be met.
It will be appreciated that, after the auxiliary locking mechanism 1 is installed on the base 8, the blocking member 122 forms a predetermined angle with the horizontal direction, that is, after the threaded shaft 121 is screwed out of the threaded section of the screwing member 123 by a predetermined distance, the blocking member 122 may extend out of the inner wall of the base 8 to a predetermined position, and the blocking member 122 forms a predetermined angle with the horizontal direction, and it may be understood that the angle and the position may be determined according to the actual situation, only need to achieve that the blocking member 122 can block the falling of the connector 9, that is, prevent the connector 9 from falling to the bottom of the outer cylinder 84, that is, the blocking member 122 can block the guide flange 91, so that the guide flange 91 may slide into the groove of the lower guide block 81 in the base 8 along the end surface of the blocking member 122.
Of course, in the present embodiment, since the first step portion 1221 and the second step portion 851 are provided, the angle and the position can be controlled by the thickness of the first step portion 1221 and the second step portion 851, that is, the rotation angle of the screwing member 123 (that is, the distance of the screw shaft 121 from the screw section of the screwing member 123) is controlled so as to achieve that the first step portion 1221 and the second step portion 851 are tightly connected together, and then the angle formed by the blocking member 122 and the horizontal direction is the preset angle (the horizontal direction refers to the horizontal direction in fig. 4).
Preferably, referring to fig. 10 and 11, according to the requirements of national standard (GB/T21412.8-2010), the screwing member 123 may be configured as a TDU handle, the limiting member 112 may be configured as a TDU handle buckle, and meanwhile, the TDU handle needs to be matched with the TDU sleeve 14, so that the TDU sleeve 14 is further fixed on the fixing member 11, and further, the TDU of the torque tool is assembled on the ROV (underwater robot), so that the TDU handle can be driven to rotate, and finally, the blocking member 121 is moved along the axis thereof to reach a preset position, so that the blocking member 11 extends out of the inner wall of the base 8 at a preset angle with the horizontal direction.
Meanwhile, as the tension tendon bottom connector works underwater, all the components can be made of stainless steel and the like.
In summary, in the embodiment of the invention, by adding the auxiliary locking mechanism to the existing tension tendon bottom connector, the separation phenomenon of the base and the connector under the condition of severe sea conditions and the like can be prevented without changing the main structures of the existing base and the connector, the safety coefficient of the tension leg platform working under the severe sea conditions is improved, and the space and the cost are saved.
It is to be understood that the above examples only represent preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are described in more detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention; it should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention; therefore, all changes and modifications that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
