FIELD: mechanics.
SUBSTANCE: object of the invention is to design manufacturable floating fountain complex which can be transported via various water ways and can be furnished with a variety of the special equipment, intended for a public entertainment. To achieve this object floating base of fountain complex is made of sections and includes pontoon plane and energy pontoon, connected to each other with a conductor cable. Pontoon plane is divided into three transport units, each consisting of three technological modules which form, when assembled, closed plane having square view in plan, a structure of four angular modules, of four intermediate modules and of one central module, all made of steel pipes constructed with inside watertight compartments. Energy pontoon is located nearby of the pontoon plane and it is submerged; it is constructed as a steel box structure with ports, elevated above water level. Pontoon plane and the energy pontoon are secured to the bottom of a reservoir with piles. Pontoon plane can be vertically moved with gear motors activated by a signal indicating a water level in a reservoir. Energy pontoon is rigidly set. Fountain equipment is assembled on the fountain plane on support structures, rigidly secured to the pipes of the fountain plane, the equipment consists of pump units, delivery pipes with nozzles forming water jets, sources of multicolour light, technological equipment for a laser show and system of automatic control; electrical control equipment for transformer switching is installed on the energy pontoon, at that the electrical equipment is connected to energy system on the bank with an underwater cable, there are also installed control cabinets for pumps and light effects, electrical equipment for a ventilation system and a fire-control unit.
EFFECT: reduction of work hours for transporting, assembly and repair of equipment complex.
