Abstract
A wave-energy absorbing system has at least one energy absorption device that includes a frame unit and at least one energy absorption unit. The at least one energy absorption unit includes two spaced-apart connecting cables connected between two inclined, opposite sides of the frame unit, and a plurality of spaced-apart energy absorption subunits connected between the connecting cables. Each of the energy absorption subunits has two cable-connecting end portions connected respectively to the connecting cables, a central portion that interconnects the cable-connecting end portions and has opposite lateral ends, and a plurality of energy absorption ribs that extend from opposite lateral ends of the central portion.
Claims10
A wave-energy absorption system comprising at least one energy absorption device (100) that includes:
- a frame unit (10) including
- two front brace structures (11) that are spaced apart from each other in a left-right direction (X),
- two rear brace structures (12) that are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction (X), that are disposed at a rear side of said front brace structures (11), and that are aligned respectively with said front brace structures (11) in a front-rear direction (Y) transverse to the left-right direction (X), and
- two inclined brace structures (13), each having a front end that is connected to a respective one of said front brace structures (11), and a rear end that is higher than and disposed at a rear side of said front end, and that is connected to a respective one of said rear brace structures (12) which is aligned with the respective one of said front brace structures (11) in the front-rear direction (Y);
- and
- at least one energy absorption unit (20) including
- two connecting cables (21) that extend along the left-right direction (X), that are connected between said inclined brace structures (13), and that are spaced apart from each other, and
- a plurality of energy absorption subunits (22) that are connected between said connecting cables (21), and that are spaced apart from each other in the left-right direction (X), each of said energy absorption subunits (22) having
- two cable-connecting end portions (221) that are connected respectively to said connecting cables (21),
- a central portion (222) that interconnects said cable-connecting end portions (221), and that has opposite lateral ends in the left-right direction (X), and
- a plurality of energy absorption ribs (223) that extend from opposite lateral ends of said central portion (222).
