[0021] like Figures 2-9As shown, this embodiment provides a vessel including a main deck 100, a cargo hold, a hatch coaming 200, a hatch cover 300, and boarding facilities for the cargo hold. The cargo hold has an opening at the top. The hatch coaming 200 is disposed on the main deck 100 and extends upward around the opening. The hatch cover 300 is flip-up to open and close at the top of the hatch coaming 200 and serves as a helicopter deck. The above-described vessel is particularly suitable for bulk carriers.
[0022] In one embodiment, the main deck 100 is provided with a support frame 500, which is located outside the cargo hold. A hatch cover 300 is connected to the support frame 500 via a hinge 330, a pivot, or a hinge. The hatch cover 300 rotates around the hinge 330, pivot, or hinge, allowing it to flip relative to the support frame 500. This allows it to close the top of the hatch coaming 200 when in a closed state, or open the top of the hatch coaming 200 when in an open state. In another embodiment, one side of the hatch cover 300 is connected to the hatch coaming 200 via a hinge 330, pivot, or hinge. The hatch cover 300 rotates around the hinge 330, pivot, or hinge, allowing it to flip relative to the hatch coaming 200. This allows it to close the top of the hatch coaming 200 when in a closed state, or open the top of the hatch coaming 200 when in an open state.
[0023] This embodiment also provides a boarding device for a ship's cargo hold, including a first inclined ladder 410, a second inclined ladder 420, and a movable handrail 430. One end of the first inclined ladder 410 is connected to the main deck 100, and the other end is connected to the outer side of the hatch coaming 200. The second inclined ladder 420 is located on the side of the hatch cover 300. When the hatch cover 300 is closed, the movable handrail 430 is detachably connected to the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420. When the movable handrail 430 is detached, the hatch cover 300 is flipped so that the second inclined ladder 420 faces the main deck 100. The hatch cover 300 and the second inclined ladder 420 are both spaced apart from the first inclined ladder 410 to open the opening.
[0024] The first inclined ladder 410, the main deck 100, and the hatch coaming 200 are fixedly connected. The second inclined ladder 420 is fixedly connected to the hatch cover 300. The hatch cover 300 flips to switch between an open and closed state, and flips along with the second inclined ladder 420. When the hatch cover 300 is closed, the movable handrail 430 connects the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420, making the three connected as a whole. This meets the needs of personnel boarding and emergency fire fighting, and ensures the safety of boarding in emergencies without affecting helicopter landing. The movable handrail 430 is removed, and the hatch 300 can be opened, so that the second inclined ladder 420 faces the main deck 100. During the process of the hatch 300 being flipped open and in the open state, the hatch 300 and the second inclined ladder 420 are both spaced apart from the first inclined ladder 410, so that the boarding device 400 is arranged at the position of the hatch 300, and interference between the boarding device 400 and the hatch 300 during the opening process and after the opening is avoided, that is, interference between the boarding device 400 and the open hatch 300 is avoided.
[0025] Optionally, the first inclined ladder 410 includes a ladder body 411 and a fixed handrail 412, improving boarding safety in the first inclined ladder 410 section. When both the hatch 300 and the second inclined ladder 420 are spaced apart from the first inclined ladder 410, the hatch 300 is spaced apart from the ladder body 411 and the fixed handrail 412, and the second inclined ladder 420 is spaced apart from the ladder body 411 and the fixed handrail 412, thereby avoiding interference.
[0026] The boarding device 400 also includes a support member 440, which is connected between the first inclined ladder 410 and the hatch coaming 200, increasing the distance between them and providing more clearance for the hatch 300 in the open state, thus preventing structural interference. The support member 440 is connected to the side of the first inclined ladder 410 (i.e., the ladder body 411) away from the fixed handrail 412, and is located in the middle of the ladder body 411. The ladder body 411 extends above the hatch coaming 200, and the extension dimension is set appropriately according to requirements to minimize the distance between the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420. In one embodiment, the support member 440 is plate-shaped and is welded or connected to the first inclined ladder 410 and the hatch coaming 200 by fasteners such as screws. The size of the support member 440 can be set according to requirements and is not limited.
[0027] Both the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420 are provided with a connector 450, and the connector 450 is provided with a connector slot 451. The movable handrail 430 is provided with two connector posts 431, which are inserted into the connector slots 451 of the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420 respectively. The movable handrail 430 is connected to the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420 respectively for easy assembly and disassembly. The first inclined ladder 410 is provided with two connectors 450, the second inclined ladder 420 is provided with two connectors 450, and the movable handrail 430 is provided with two connector posts 431. One end of the two movable handrails 430 is inserted into the two connectors 450 on the first inclined ladder 410, and the other end is inserted into the two connectors 450 on the second inclined ladder 420. By increasing the number of movable handrails 430, the connection reliability of the first inclined ladder 410 and the second inclined ladder 420 is improved, further ensuring the safety of boarding.
[0028] The socket includes a base plate 453 and a side plate 454 connected to the base plate 453. The side plate 454 is arranged to form a cylindrical shape. The base plate 453 and the side plate 454 form a plug groove 451. The base plate 453 is installed on the first inclined ladder 410 or the second inclined ladder 420.
[0029] The side wall of the insertion slot 451 is provided with a through hole 452, through which the insertion slot 451 communicates with the outside world to prevent water from accumulating inside the insertion slot 451.
[0030] The boarding device 400 also includes a tongue-type pin 460, which includes a pin body 461 and a tongue 462. The pin body 461 is simultaneously inserted into the insertion post 431 and the insertion slot 451, and the tongue 462 can abut against the outside of the insertion slot 451 for easy and quick removal, further improving the installation reliability of the movable handrail 430. Specifically, the side walls of the insertion post 431 and the insertion slot 451 are provided with through holes 455. The pin body 461 is inserted into the insertion hole 455, and then the tongue 462 abuts against the outside of the insertion slot 451.
[0031] The tongue-type pin 460 also includes a chain 463. The tongue 462 is rotatably connected to one end of the pin body 461, and the chain 463 is connected to the other end of the pin body 461. The chain 463 is also connected to the first inclined ladder 410 or the second inclined ladder 420. The tongue 462, the pin body 461, and the chain 463 are interconnected to prevent loss.
[0032] With the hatch 300 open, the hatch 300 is perpendicular to the main deck 100, and the second inclined ladder 420 faces the main deck 100. That is, the second inclined ladder 420 is located at the bottom of the hatch 300. The second inclined ladder 420 is vertically positioned above the first inclined ladder 410, and the two are spaced apart. The second inclined ladder 420, located at the bottom of the hatch 300, is above the first inclined ladder 410. Therefore, the hatch 300 is also located above the first inclined ladder 410, which can ensure no interference.
[0033] The hatch 300 includes a first cover 310 and a second cover 320 that are hinged to each other, i.e., the first cover 310 and the second cover 320 are hinged by a hinge 330. The second inclined ladder 420 is located on the side of the first cover 310. When the hatch 300 is closed, the second inclined ladder 420 and the second cover 320 are located on opposite sides of the first cover 310. When the hatch 300 is open, the second cover 320 is folded to the side of the first cover 310 away from the opening, so as to avoid the second cover 320 from blocking the space above the opening. The bottom of the second cover 320 is higher than the first inclined ladder 410. Neither the first cover 310 nor the second cover 320 will interfere with the structure of the first inclined ladder 410.
[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
