专利摘要:
A compensator for providing resilience in a connection between relatively moveable objects comprises a piston (3) working in a cylinder (2) which is surrounded by a larger coaxial cylinder (1) joined thereto by annular wall members (1a) thus defining about the cylinder (2) a pair of annular reservoirs (8, 9,) The piston (3) divides the cylinder (2) into a pair of chambers (6, 7), chamber (6) being connected by conduit (12) to reservoir (9) and chamber (7) being connected by conduit (10) to reservoir (8). Each reservoir contains a mixture of liquid and gas whilst the chambers contain liquid. Elongation of the connection between the objects causes withdrawal of the piston (3) with consequent expansion of the volume of gas in reservoir (9) against atmospheric pressure and against pressure developed in reservoir (8) as a consequence of decrease of gas volume therein.

It is equipped with a piston 29 and a rod 8, as well as a 9-body with a piston chamber 34 filled with water, a reervoir 20 containing gas and a liquid having an interface. When the piston 29 and the housing 13 move in opposite directions relative to each other, the gas is expanded or compressed in the tank 20 and, accordingly, compensated for the length of the mooring means between the objects connected via the compensator. 1 з.п0ф-л, 3 silt
The invention relates to mooring devices, namely, compensators, providing the necessary elasticity in the joints between relatively mobile objects.
The purpose of the invention is to increase the efficiency and reliability of the device in operation.
FIG. 1 shows a mooring device with a compensator installed in it; in fig. 2 - compensator, general view; in fig. 3 - site pumping water from the tank.
The compensator 1 is attached to an anchor device located at the bottom of the mor, for example, a concrete base 2, using a chain 3. The compensator housing includes a tank 4 filled with ballast. A lighter chain 5 connects a projection 6 formed on one side of the compensator 1 at some distance from the concrete base 2 and eliminates the likelihood of rotation of the compensator 1.
The hose 7 extends between the connecting elements that are hinged on the rod 8 of the compensator 1 and the vessel 9. This hose performs two functions: firstly, it serves as a means of relative tying the vessel 9 to this place and, secondly, There is no transfer function to the vessel 9 of the current medium, for example, oil. The swivel hose 7 with the rod 8 allows some oscillation of the vessel 9. The hose 7 is equipped with floats that give it the necessary buoyancy.
A fluid supply hose 10, for example, connects a bottom-sea terminal 11 of a pipeline with a knee in an articulated junction block 12 that connects the upper part of the rod 8 and the upper part of the housing 13 of the compensator 1.

The upper part of the connecting unit 12 forms a pipeline connecting the hose 10 to the hose 7.
A supply hose 14 for supplying pressurized water extends from terminal 11 to a connecting element located at the bottom of the hinge block 12. This lower part of the hinge connecting block 12 forms a conduit that connects the hose 14 to the tank filled with ballast 4.
Both hoses 14 and 10 are about halfway between compensator 1 and terminal 11 suspended from buoy 15.
Compensator 1 consists of a straight circular cylindrical body 13, the lower part of which is closed. An assembly lug or loop 16 extends from this closed part. The inner circular cylinder 17 is placed coaxially with the housing 13. The annular space formed between them is closed in its upper part by an annular upper wall 18. Between the inner cylinder 17 and the housing 13 there is a partition that divides the said annular space into an upper chamber 19 and a reservoir 20, respectively. The upper chamber 19 is gas-tight and air-filled, so that it functions as a buoyancy chamber. Holes 21 are provided in the wall of the inner cylinder 17 to allow free flow of fluid from the reservoir 20 to the inner cylinder 17.
The float 22 is attached by a chain 23 to the base of the housing 13. This float 22 is located inside the inner cylinder 17, and a small gap is formed between the float and the wall of the cylinder. Holes 24 are drilled in this float, which are oriented vertically upwards and through which fluid flows freely. The logic system which, in FIG. 2 is shown by a dashed line 25, intended to fix the sagging of the chain 23, and sends commands to shut off the valve 26, which serves to regulate the speed (flow) of the flow of fluid through the pipe 27, which extends from the bottom,
tank 20. A check valve 28 is installed in pipe 27, and it is installed at a point between valve 2 and tank 20 and ensures the flow of liquid from tank 2
The rod 8 slides in the inner cylinder 17, and its piston 29 is in hermetic engagement with the wall of this cylinder (with the inner wall). The rod 8 extends vertically upwards and extends beyond the cylinder 17 and ends with a swiveling connecting element 30, to which the mounting loop 31 is attached. The guides of the piston rod, for example, racks 32, are mounted on brackets 33 which are fixed on the upper wall 18, contact with a piston rod 8 and directed in the right direction of its movement.
The part of the inner cylinder 17, which is located between the edge of the piston 29 and the float 24, forms the first chamber 34 of the device. Part



The inner cylinder 17, which extends inwardly. The protruding flange 47 is intended to float 22, which is simultaneously inserted for working engagement with the piston joint with the reservoir 20, volume 44, protruding as an emphasis, expands the first compartment 35. The boring outlets limiting the movement of the piston 44. versti 24 in the float 22 and the ring-located inside the device a different gap between the float 22 and 40, the end of the rod 43 is closed, but contains
check valve 48, which allows the passage of fluid only inside the hollow rod 43.
The annular space 49 45 between the inner cylinder 41 and the tube 42, which in the lower part is limited to the piston 44, is filled with air. After the rod 8 is completely drawn out of the cylinder 17, its final upward movement will force the fluid to pass into the first chamber 34, since this chamber has an increased volume. The volume of gas in reservoir 20 will thus increase, the reduced substance in reservoir 20 will simultaneously determine the pressure in this chamber, and the force that occurs in the pore, since the volume of gas remains constant as a result of water exposure.
th column, located in the cylinder. Moving the piston vertically upward In the process of practical use, it will be impossible to exclude the possibility that a cylinder 17 will form a passageway for fluid flow. The annular portion 36 of the inner cylinder 17 around the piston rod 8 forms a chamber that is open in its upper part. The tank 20 contains water or some other liquid and air or some other gaseous mixture, and in this tank a gas-liquid interface 37 is formed, located below the edge of the piston 29, part of the inner cylinder 17 is filled with liquid.

FIG. 3 shows the site of pumping water from the chamber 20, comprising a cylinder 38, which is blocked in its upper
parts disk 39.
In the center of the disk 39, a check valve 40 is installed. The internal cylinder 41 leaves the disk 39, which surrounds the check valve 40, as it were. The wider tube 42 also departs from the same disk 39. Which is parallel with respect to the cylinder 41 and passes in close proximity to the inner wall of the cylinder 38.
A hollow rod 43 with a piston 44 slides over the inner cylinder 41, which is provided with an annular inward seal 45 which is in tight working engagement with the outer surface of the inner cylinder 41. Approximately in the center of the rod 43 there is an annular piston 44. A outwardly directed seal is located on its edge 46, which is in operative engagement with the inner surface of the tube 2. Located on the inner end of the tube 42 and directed
There is a lot of effort in the connection between the rod and the object connected to it, for example, a vessel. However, due to the decrease in gas pressure in reservoir 20, the tensile force in this compound will gradually increase.
The ring-shaped part 36 is open towards the sea and will be filled with sea water at constant pressure, which will depend on the working depth, but will not generally (depends on the position of the rod 8 itself.
If the piston 29 of the motor compensator is forced to retreat or is exhausted to such an extent that the water pressure in the reservoir 20 falls below the air pressure in the annular space 49, valve 48 will open and the evacuation system hollow rod 43 will retract. If the main seals in the piston 29 provide reliable tightness, then after the piston 29 returns to its original position, the pressure in the reservoir 20 will return to its original level.
If the seals of the piston 29 allow water to flow into the tank when the piston 29 is in the deflected position, then the pressure in the tank will increase when the piston returns to its original position, and this pressure may exceed the air pressure in the annular space 49 that favorable conditions will be created to force the hollow rod 43 to move, and therefore some part of the contents of the chamber, the contours of which are determined by the inner cylinder 41 and the hollow rod 43, will be pumped out. The suction system can be repeated with subsequent minor movements of the piston 29j in order to restore the initial volume of water in the tank.
