    TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an assembly of flowable modules and a method of interconnecting floating modules to such an assembly.
    Description of the prior art Piers can be achieved in a large number of different ways depending on what the pier is to be used for. Traditionally, piers have been built as stone structures, concrete structures, palladial structures and steel structures, which gives a strong pier such as high loads from large ships and associated heavy loads. In some cases it is not possible to build piers in the traditional way, such as when the water depth is too great. In other cases, it can be too costly to Ora a traditional pier. An alternative to building piers with traditional methods is to produce piers with the help of floating modules such as modules or cauldrons which are anchored in the seabed and / or ashore and connected the same in suitable length. It is already possible to connect modules with wires or chains with rubber elements between the modules.
    US 4,321,882 describes an interconnection system for marine buoyancy means and intends to solve the problems that previously known systems cannot handle large waves or dilates sufficient movement between the buoyancy means. The solution consists in arranging resilient elements in excavations in the floating bodies and in that kittens run through the floating bodies and the resilient elements. The resilient elements may comprise a stable tube with rubber around or be entirely of rubber. The resilient elements may be cylindrical and arranged parallel to the kittens or wires which connect the floating means.
    US2010282155 in accordance with the invention. D1 refers to a connection system for floating modules. Opposite receptacles are arranged projecting from adjacent fluid modules so that the first recesses on one floating module fit in the other recesses on the other floating module. Resilient means are arranged in the first recess means. Wires Scratches through the entire length of the modules and through the recess members and the resilient members. The problem which is intended to be solved is that previously known coupling systems do not allow sufficiently large rotational movement at large waves and that the resilient members are enlarged over time due to the fact that they are exposed to sunlight. The resilient members are designed as cylinders which are arranged with their longitudinal axes parallel to the wires. A problem that has been observed with piers consisting of interconnected floating elements is that the wires and / or the floating elements are subjected to large stresses when the rubber elements between the floating elements are compressed and then expand. This can lead to strong jerks in the wires and can result in the wires and / or the floating elements being damaged or probing.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of flowable modules which are interconnected with each other which assembly is an alternative to prior art assemblies.
    A further object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of floating modules which are interconnected with flexible elements, which assembly obviates the problem of excessive deformation of resilient elements between modules which are interconnected to a pier.
    Another object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of floating modules which are interconnected with flexible members, which assembly obviates the problem of overload in the flexible members or the movable modules as a result of the jerks arising from deformation of resilient elements between the movable members. the modules.
    A further object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a composition of flowable modules which composition solves at least one of the above-mentioned problems.
    A further object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of floatable modules which are interconnected sufficiently mute to eliminate staple risk.
    At least one of them has the purpose of being provided with a composition of flowable modules and a method according to the independent claims.
    Additional advantages of the invention are provided by the features of the dependent claims.
    According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition of floating modules comprising at least one first module and a second module each having a longitudinal axis. Each of the modules comprises a top side and a bottom side arranged to be water upwards and downwards when the module floats on water, and at least one first coupling side which is turned towards the second module and which is arranged between the top side and the bottom side. The assembly also includes at least two elongate bendable members that connect the first module to the second module. The assembly may be characterized in that the first coupling side of the first module comprises at least one first recess which bears a part of a rotationally symmetrical shape with a symmetry axis parallel to the coupling side. The assembly may further be characterized in that the assembly comprises at least one first coupling member, which comprises an inelastic member and a longitudinal axis which is parallel to the axis of symmetry, and which engages with and rotatably about the axis of symmetry in relation to the first recess.
    The assembly may further be characterized in that the second module comprises a coupling side which engages at least one coupling member, the first module being rotatable in relation to the second module in that the coupling member is rotatable in relation to the recess.
    With a composition according to the invention, the advantage is obtained that the coupling means cannot be deformed to the extent of flake naming, which means that the elongate bendable elements are not subjected to as great jerks when deforming the elongate bendable elements as in the case of assemblies according to prior art. In addition, since the coupling means are arranged rotatable in relation to the recess in at least one of the modules around an axis which is parallel to the coupling side, a joint is obtained around which the modules can be rotated. This means that the modules can better follow the waves.
    A composition according to the invention speaks of waves and wind much better than floating piers according to prior art.
    The modules in composition are thus floating and can float on water.
    The fact that the recesses are rotationally symmetrical meant that they could have one of several different shapes.
    The recesses can thus, for example, be part of a cone shape or part of a coil shape.
    The modules that form part of the composition can be modules that together form a pier, but can also include other floating modules such as floating buildings. Such floating buildings are advantageously connected to a floating pier in the same way as the modules in the floating pier are connected to each other. The modules in the composition can weigh anything from a few tons to thousands of tons and have a length ranging from a few meters to more than a hundred meters. The composition may thus comprise a module which constitutes a pier and a module which constitutes a floating building. The floating modules can be cassettes or pontoons and the composition can comprise both cassettes and pontoons. By pontoons is meant floating modules with at least one floating body of cellular plastic.
    The assembly may be designed so that the coupling side of the second module comprises at least one first recess with the same shape about an axis of symmetry as the first recess in the first module and wherein the first coupling means engages said first recess in the second module. With the modules designed in this way, the coupling means is thus rotatable in relation to both the modules between which the coupling means is arranged. in this way, the modules can be made symmetrical with two opposite connecting sides with the same design. A further advantage is that the rotation of the coupling means in relation to each of the modules becomes smaller than it is in the case that the coupling means is only rotatable in relation to one of the modules.
    In addition, it is an advantage not to have the coupling member detachably attached to the flake of the modules, since it will then be easier to connect an assembly.
    An alternative is to allow the coupling member to comprise an inelastic member which forms an integral part of the second module. Such a coupling member can easily be manufactured simultaneously with the second module.
    The coupling member can have a length from a few decimeters up to a few meters. Preferably, the coupling means has a length in the range 0.3 m to 10 m.
    The coupling member may have a diameter transverse to the longitudinal axis of the flag decimeter up to a few meters. Preferably, the coupling means has a diameter transverse to the longitudinal axis in the range 1 dm to 2 m.
    The recesses thus have a shape which is partly rotationally symmetrical about the same axis of symmetry.
    The coupling sides of the modules can be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the modules.
    This is advantageous in that the movement of the composition in vagaries then becomes easy to model and consequently the dimensioning of the composition also becomes simpler.
    The bendable members can be wires, advantageously steel wires. This is advantageous in that they are cheap and strong and can be designed with a relatively small total cross section. As an alternative to wires, synthetic ropes can be used. There are a large number of different lines on the market with great strength. For example, there are ropes that are used as falls or bulkheads in sailing vessels, which ropes have stone strength per unit area. A disadvantage of such ropes is that they are more expensive than wires. It is also possible within the scope of the invention to use chains. A disadvantage of chains, however, is that the total cross-section of a chain becomes a stone for an equally strong wire.
    The assembly may comprise at least two coupling means, and a first and a second recess on the usual coupling side. With two coupling means an even load can be obtained in that the coupling means d can be placed with a coupling means on each side of the center of the module. It is of course possible to have an arbitrary number of coupling means in a composition according to the invention. However, the cost of the coupling means is minimized by a set number of coupling means.
    The assembly may be designed so that the recesses in the modules essentially have the shape of a part of a cylinder and the parts of the coupling member which engage with the recesses have the shape of parts of cylinders. A cylinder shape is the one that is easiest and thus cheapest to achieve.
    The inelastic member may be coated on the surfaces of the recessed surface with a contact layer to provide low friction between the coupling member and the recesses. By arranging such a layer, the choice of material in the inelastic member becomes simpler since only half-strength properties then need to be taken into account, while desired frictional properties and sound properties are provided by the contact layer.
    As an alternative to arranging the contact layer on the inelastic member, contact layers can be arranged in the recesses.
    The material in the contact layer can be selected from the group consisting of: plastic, Teflon and rubber. These materials have good acoustic properties while providing low friction.
    The contact layer advantageously has a thickness which is a maximum of 10%, and three times a maximum of 5%, of the largest extent of the inelastic member across the longitudinal axis. With such a maximum extent, the possible elasticity of the contact layer will only affect the elastic properties of the coupling member to a limited extent.
    By inelastic member is meant an element which has an elastic deformation capacity of a maximum of 0.2% and preferably a maximum of 0.1%. Such elasticity is obtained with, for example, a steel tube. It is thus not unreasonable to have a large elastic deformation shape in the inelastic member. The inelastic member may comprise a rudder. Alternatively, the inelastic member may be a homogeneous shaft. However, it can be costly to provide a homogeneous shaft. In order to achieve sufficient hall strength of the inelastic member in the form of a rudder, the rudder can be filled with concrete. Concrete has a high half-strength against pressure seals and is relatively inexpensive.
    In the case that the inelastic member is a rudder, it may be of metal and advantageously of steel, although other metals may also be used. An inelastic member in the form of a rudder can also be made of plastic.
    In the case that the inelastic member is homogeneous, it can be made of plastic or tra. An inelastic member of plastic or wood can be made much lighter than an element of steel and concrete. In the case of plastic, it can be fiber-reinforced.
    The bendable means may be arranged to run in a continuous hall in said at least one coupling means. The Riper then crosses the long shaft of the coupling member. The number of bendable members per coupling member may differ depending on the size of the coupling member and the size of the movable modules. Preferably, the number of bendable elements per coupling unit is in the range 1-10 pieces.
    The rudder may comprise transverse rudders through which the bendable members run. The transverse rudders are advantageously fixed to the rudder and in the event that the rudder is filled with concrete, the transverse rudders function as reinforcement.
    Each module advantageously comprises two parallel connection sides for connection to other modules. The modules can then be made symmetrical and connected to Capture compositions.
    The composition may be arranged so that when the composition floats on water the axes of symmetry of the recesses are parallel to the water surface. This is advantageous in that the modules then rotate in a natural plane.
    Advantageously, a set of bendable members is provided for the usual pair of modules so that each set of bendable members binds only two modules together.
    According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of interconnecting modules into an assembly, each of the modules comprising a longitudinal axis, a top and a bottom being arranged to be water upwards and downwards, respectively, when the module floats on water, and at least one coupling side which is water against the second module and is arranged between the top and the bottom. The method comprises the steps of interconnecting at least one first and a second module with at least two elongate bendable members. The method may be characterized by the steps of providing on at least one coupling side of the first module at least one first recess which is part of a rotationally symmetrical shape with a symmetry axis parallel to the coupling side, and to provide at least one first coupling means, comprising an inelastic shaft, in engagement with game match with said at least one first recess. The method can also be characterized by the step of arranging at least one first coupling means in engagement with the coupling side of the second module, the first module being rotatable in relation to the second module in that the coupling means is rotatable in relation to the recess about the axis of symmetry.
    The advantages of the process are the same as described in connection with the composition according to the first aspect of the invention.
    According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided an assembly comprising at least a first module and a second module each having a long axis, each of the modules comprising a top and a bottom side arranged to be valid up and down respectively when the module floats on water, and at least a first coupling side which is water towards the second module and is arranged between the top side and the bottom side. The assembly also includes at least two elongate bendable members for connecting the first module to the second module. The assembly may be characterized in that the first coupling side of the first module comprises at least one first recess which is part of a rotationally symmetrical shape with an axis of symmetry parallel to the coupling side, and that the assembly comprises at least one first coupling member comprising an inelastic member and a longitudinal shaft parallel to the axis of symmetry, and is arranged to be arranged in engagement with the first recess and the first coupling side of the second module.

    Description of Preferred Embodiments In the following description of preferred embodiments, the same features in the various drawings will be designated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the drawings are not to scale.
    In the following description, the term metal profile will be used for the cut-off parts of the bent plate.
    Fig. 1 shows a first module 1 and a second module 2 which are connected to an assembly 3 with a floating building 4 connected to each module 1, 2. Each of the modules 1, 2, each has a longitudinal axis 5, 40, which in the embodiment shown coincides with each other and dad & has been given the same male reference designation. The first module 1 has a first coupling side 6 and a second coupling side 7, which are arranged on opposite sides of the first module perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 5, 40. The second module 2 has a first coupling side 8 and a second coupling side 9, which are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 5, 40. The first module 1 is connected to the second module 2 with the first coupling side 6 on the first module 1 water to the first coupling side 8 on the second module 2. It is of course possible to connect more than two modules one after the other. Of course, it is also possible to have the coupling sides at an angle in relation to the longitudinal axis 5, 40, and to have the longitudinal axes 5, 40, for the different modules at an angle in 9 relative to each other. From each module 1. 2, rectangular projections 10 protrude to which the floating buildings 4 are connected. The floating buildings 4 also constitute floating modules and are advantageously connected to the first module 1 and the second module 2 on the same salt as the first module 1 and the second module 2 are connected to each other.
    Fig. 2 shows a first module 1, and a second module 2, connected together with a plurality of second modules 45 to an L-shaped pier, and connected with floating buildings 4 connected to the modules 1, 2, 45, to an assembly. In contrast to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the modules have triangular projections 11 so that the movable buildings 4 are placed at an oblique angle in relation to the modules 1, 2. Most of the modules 1. 2, 45 are interconnected along coupling sides which are parallel to each other 6-9 to each other and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 5 similar to the embodiment in Fig. 1. However, a coupling side 46 is shown which is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis 5 which enables the L-shape on the pier.
    Fig. 3 shows in stone detail in cross section from above the joint between the two modules 1, 2, in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2. The first coupling side 6 of the first module 1 is connected to the first coupling side 8 of the second module 2 by means of elongate bendable members 12. in the form of bias wires running between the modules. In the first coupling side 6, on the first module 1, a first recess 13 and a second recess 14 are arranged. In a corresponding manner, a first recess 15 and a second recess 16 are arranged in the first coupling side 8 of the second module. first coupling means 17 is arranged between the first module 1 and the second module 2 in engagement with the first recesses 13, 15. A second coupling means 18 is arranged between the first module 1 and the second module 2 in engagement with the second recesses 14, 16. The elongate bendable means 12 run through the coupling means 17, 18. As can be seen from Fig. 3, the modules 1, 2 are arranged at a distance from each other in order to prevent the modules 1, 2 from hitting each other. The recesses 13, 15 are formed as part of a rotationally symmetrical shape with a symmetry axis 21 which is parallel to the coupling sides 6, 7. In the embodiment shown, the coupling members 17, 18 are cylindrical with longitudinal axes 35, 36, which are also symmetry axes 43, 44. for the recess. The longitudinal axes 35, 36, are parallel to the water surface on which the composition flows.
    Fig. 4 shows the joint in Fig. 3 frail the side in the section A-A. Fig. 4 shows that the modules 1, 2, comprise an upper side 19, 41, and a lower side 20, 42, arranged to be watered upwards and downwards, respectively, when the modules 1, 2 float on water. The coupling sides 6, 7 are arranged between the upper side 19 and the underside 20. As can be seen from Fig. 4, the elongate bendable members 12 scratch through the coupling member 17. The recesses 13, 15 are formed as part of a rotationally symmetrical body with a symmetry axis 21 (Figs. 3) which is parallel to the coupling side. In the embodiment shown, the coupling means 17, 18, are cylindrical but could have a varying cross-section along the coupling means 17, 18, longitudinal axes, 36 (Fig. 3). As can be seen from Fig. 4, the coupling member 17 fills most of the recesses 13, 15. Advantageously, the radius of curvature of the coupling member 17 is slightly smaller than the radius of curvature of the recesses 13, 15, so that the coupling member 17 can be rotated relatively easily in relation to the recesses 13, 15. The coupling member comprises an inelastic member in the form of a tube 22 which is filled with concrete 23. With an inelastic shaft it is avoided that the coupling member is deformed in name when it is subjected to pressure from the modules 1, 2. The modules 1, 2 are advantageously made of reinforced concrete. The recesses 13, 15, are on the coupling sides coated with lining layers 24, 26. The lining layers 24, 26 are advantageously made of steel, but can also be of other metals or alloys such as bronze. On the outside of the coupling member 17, tubes 22, contact layers 28, 30 are arranged, on the surfaces of the tube 22 facing the recesses 13, 15.
    The primary purpose of the contact layers 28, 30 is to eliminate noise which could arise when the coupling members 17 are rotated, in relation to the recesses if there was direct contact between a coupling member 17, with a steel surface and recesses 13, 15, with steel surfaces. The contact layers 28-31 can be of, for example, rubber, Teflon or plastic. In the case that the contact layers 28-31 are of rubber, they have a certain elasticity. However, the contact layers have a thickness which does not exceed 10% of the extent of the inelastic member across the longitudinal axis. Advantageously, the rudder 22 ay steel with could be of any other metal. The metal tube could also be replaced with a tube of another material such as fiber-reinforced plastic. In the latter case, the contact layers 28-31 could possibly be dispensed with.
    Fig. 5 shows the joint in Fig. 3 along the section B-B. Fig. 5 thus shows the coupling member 17 in cross section. As can be seen from Fig. 5, the coupling member 17 comprises three continuous halls defined by a first, a second and a third transverse rudder 32-34, which Riper is transversely through the rudder 22. The transverse rudders there are assembled with the rudder. According to a preferred embodiment, the transverse tubes 32-34 are made of steel and are welded together with the tube 22 which is also made of steel. The pipe 22 is filled with concrete 23, while the clear pipes 32-34 form reinforcement for the concrete.
    By inelastic means in the hdr application that the element can not be deformed elastically more than 0.2%. Such an element can be designed in several different ways.
    Fig. 6 shows in stone detail the joint in Fig. 4 in a cross section, the longitudinal axis 35 of the first coupling member 17 is shown and shows the first transverse tube 32 in section. As shown in Figs. 4 and 4, the tube is cylindrical while the contact layers 28, 29, only extend around a part of the tube 22. Thus, the first coupling member 17 is not cylindrical in its entirety the whole rudder 22. As can be seen from Fig. 6, the modules 1, 2 are made of reinforced concrete. The recesses 13, 15, are provided with lining layers 24, of steel. The elongate bendable members run through hall 38, 39, in the floatable modules 1, 2, which hall required with Air 48, 49.d.
    Fig. 7 shows in cross section in stone detail the coupling member in Fig. 6 in another section. The section in Fig. 7 is taken between transverse rudders 32-34 and shows the rudder 22 which is filled with concrete 23.
    The contact layers 28, 29, extend around a part of the pipe 22. As mentioned above, it is possible to manufacture the coupling member in other ways by filling metal pipes with concrete. For example, it is possible to have the coupling member of only a single material such as plastic or wood. In the case that the coupling member is made of plastic, the plastic can be fiber-reinforced. The coupling member of a single material can be a homogeneous shaft, which is also preferable if tra is selected as the material. Examples of usable rags can be ebony and oak. When the coupling member is made of plastic, the lining in the floating modules can be omitted.
    Fig. 8 shows an alternative embodiment in the same cross section as shown in Fig. 6. The difference from Fig. 6 is that there are no lining layers arranged in the recesses 13, 15, nor any pipes in the continuous Mien 38, 39. By the described simplification of the embodiment is made easier to manufacture, which then becomes less expensive.
    Fig. 9 shows an alternative embodiment in which the coupling member 17 only comprises a homogeneous shaft without any contact layer and without lining layer in the recesses 13, 15. The coupling member is advantageously made of plastic such as, for example, Teflon. Plastics in general and Teflon in particular have a low coefficient of friction.
    Fig. 10 shows in stone detail an alternative design of the joint in Fig. 4 in a cross section transverse to the longitudinal axis 35 of the first coupling member 17. As shown in Fig. 8, the first coupling member 17 is formed with a cross section as a half cylinder and comprises an inelastic member 22. A contact layer 28 is arranged on the coupling member 17, but could alternatively be arranged in the recess 13. As can be seen from Fig. 10, the inelastic member 22 is cast as a continuous part of the second module 2. Alternatively, the inelastic member 22 may be a separate member firmly anchored in the second module 2. The described embodiments of the invention may be modified in many different ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention which is limited only by the appended claims.
    For example, it is possible to have the contact layers 28-31, arranged on the lining layers 24-27 instead of on the tube 22.
    It is of course possible to let each of the flexible members connect more than two modules. However, it is less complicated to only let them connect two modules.
    The floating buildings 4 described above can be connected on another salt to each other than the first module 1 and the second module 2.
    The modules can of course be provided with any number of connection pages.
