Abstract

The present disclosure provides a transportation device and method for ocean engineering structures. The transportation device includes a transport case body and a supporting member, where the transport case body has an accommodating cavity for loading cargoes. The supporting member includes a supporting plate, a protective plate and at least one supporting rod, where the supporting plate is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the supporting plate is driven to ascend and descend in a first direction by at least one lifting mechanism to ascend to a first position to be close to the opening or descend to a second position to be far away from the opening. The protective plate is rotationally connected to the transport case body to shield or expose the opening, at least one sliding groove is provided at the protective plate, and each sliding groove is correspondingly and slidably connected to one supporting rod.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the lifting mechanism comprises a pushing member, a sliding block, a connecting rod and a fixing block, the pushing member comprises a pushing seat and a pushing rod, a certain included angle is formed between a moving direction of the pushing rod and a first direction, the sliding block is fixed at a tail end of the pushing rod, the fixing block is fixed on the supporting plate, one end of the connecting rod is rotationally connected to the sliding block, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotationally connected to the fixing block.   
     
     
         3 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 1 ,
 further comprising a first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism, wherein the first clamping mechanism comprises two first clamping plates and a first driving assembly, the two first clamping plates are slidably connected to the supporting plate, the first driving assembly drives the two first clamping plates to move in a second direction so as to enable the two first clamping plates to approach each other or move away from each other, the second clamping mechanism comprises two second clamping plates and a second driving mechanism, the two second clamping plates are slidably connected to the supporting plate, the second driving mechanism drives the two second clamping plates to move in a third direction so as to enable the two first clamping plates to approach each other or move away from each other, the second direction intersects with the third direction, and the first direction intersects with a plane formed by the second direction and the third direction.   
     
     
         4 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the supporting plate is provided with a first slide groove which is through up and down, an extension direction of the first slide groove is the second direction, the first clamping mechanism comprises a double-headed threaded lead screw and a first driving member, the double-headed threaded lead screw is fixed at a bottom of the supporting plate and is arranged in parallel to the extension direction of the first slide groove, the two first clamping plates are symmetrically arranged on two sides of the double-headed threaded lead screw in a sleeving manner, the two first clamping plates penetrate the first slide groove, and the double-headed threaded lead screw is driven to rotate by the first driving member.   
     
     
         5 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the first clamping plate is provided with a second slide groove, an extension direction of the second slide groove is the third direction, the second clamping mechanism comprises racks, gears and second driving members, two second slide grooves are provided at two ends of the second clamping plate respectively in a penetrating manner, two ends of the second clamping plate are fixedly connected to the two racks in a one-to-one corresponding manner, an extension direction of the rack is parallel to the extension direction of the second slide groove, the two racks fixed at the same ends of the two second clamping plates are meshed with one of the gears, and each gear is driven to rotate by one second driving member.   
     
     
         6 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the two first clamping plates are symmetrically arranged, the two second clamping plates are symmetrically arranged, and the supporting plate, the protective plate, the two first clamping plates and the two second clamping plates form a rectangular frame in an enclosed manner so as to completely enclose the cargoes.   
     
     
         7 . The transportation device for ocean engineering structures according to  claim 4 , wherein
 one group of buffer blocks are arranged on the second clamping plate, each group of buffer blocks comprise at least one buffer block, and two groups of buffer blocks on the two second clamping plates are oppositely arranged.
