RIGIDITY-CONTROLLABLE MOORING DOLPHIN CAPABLE OF STABLY MAINTAINING A STRUCTURE

摘要

PURPOSE: A rigidity-controllable mooring dolphin is provided to prevent damage to the appearance of a floating structure by preventing the exposure of the mooring dolphin to the surface of water.;CONSTITUTION: A rigidity-controllable mooring dolphin comprises a support pipe(110), an inner pipe(120), and a mooring unit(130). The support pipe is a cylindrical pipe and is fixed on the seabed. The inner pipe is inserted into the support pipe and vertically moves in the support pipe. The bottom of the inner pipe has multiple holes. The mooring unit is positioned in the upper part of the inner pipe and connects the inner pipe and a floating structure. The rigidity of the mooring dolphin is controlled by controlling the diameter of the holes. As the diameter of the holes is larger, the rigidity is higher.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
