Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an integrated photovoltaic power generation ship wave shield, belonging to the field of ship design technology. Background Technology
[0002] A closed-type wave shield is a watertight or weathertight protective structure on an open deck to prevent seawater from entering the hull. Traditional wave shields, especially those for offshore vessels, are typically closed-type forecastle wave shields with a plate frame structure, and anchoring and mooring equipment is installed below the shield. Several supports are installed under the beams to support the deck frame, which can sometimes affect the arrangement and normal operation of the anchoring and mooring equipment below the shield. Furthermore, closed-type wave shields prevent natural lighting in the adjacent deck cabins, making it impossible to place living quarters. The operation of the anchoring and mooring equipment also lacks natural lighting.
[0003] Photovoltaic solar panels are typically erected on the deck, which occupies valuable deck space on the ship and may affect personnel passage and operations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention aims to provide a photovoltaic-integrated marine wave shield that provides sufficiently strong structural support without the need for pillars, while minimizing impact on deck equipment and not hindering personnel passage and operation. The integrated installation of solar photovoltaic panels on top of the enclosed wave shield prevents waves from entering the hull, fully utilizes the space above the wave shield, and generates solar power to provide additional clean energy for the vessel.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A photovoltaic power generation integrated ship wave shield includes a top plate 1 and a lower wall 9. The top plate 1 has multiple rectangular deck openings 101 regularly arranged on it, and longitudinal girder 3 and transverse beam 4 are formed between the deck openings 101. A photovoltaic panel 2 or transparent glass is installed in each deck opening 101. Multiple pairs of truss diagonal braces 7 are fixedly installed at the lower part of adjacent longitudinal girder 3. The bottom ends of each pair of truss diagonal braces 7 are connected to form a connection node. Multiple connection nodes along the direction of the transverse beam 4 are fixedly connected to truss horizontal braces 8 to form a set of truss diagonal brace units. The two ends of the truss horizontal braces 8 are fixedly connected to the lower wall 9. No columns are set in the space below the top plate 1.
[0007] Preferably, the plurality of the truss bracing units are evenly arranged along the direction of the longitudinal truss 3.
[0008] Furthermore, adjacent truss bracing units are spaced apart by the width of a deck opening 101.
[0009] Preferably, the truss bracing unit is a steel frame structure.
[0010] Preferably, the top plate 1 is inclined and its height gradually decreases towards the bow.
[0011] Furthermore, the steel frame structure is made of round steel pipes.
[0012] Preferably, the shape and size of each deck opening 101 are the same.
[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the horizontal strut 8 of the truss are fixedly connected to the inner truss panel of the lower enclosure 9.
[0014] Furthermore, the width of the transverse beam 4 of the top plate 1 gradually shortens towards the bow, and the number of openings of the deck opening 101 decreases in a gradient manner.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0016] First, the design structure of this invention has multiple design considerations. First, if photovoltaic panels are installed on the top plate of the wave shield, the weight will be relatively heavy. It is difficult to achieve this load-bearing capacity by relying on the "truss bracing structure" in this invention. However, the invention makes holes in the top plate, which can reduce the weight. In this way, after the photovoltaic panels are installed, the "truss bracing structure" of this invention can achieve the purpose of load-bearing, thereby eliminating the need for columns with stronger load-bearing capacity.
[0017] Secondly, after opening the top plate, the structural strength of the wave shield decreases to some extent, requiring a high degree of uniformity in the supporting force. However, the existing column support technology cannot achieve the technical effect of "uniform support". The present invention cleverly adopts a "truss diagonal bracing structure", which can achieve this effect of uniform support.
[0018] Third, from a direct effect perspective, using a truss structure instead of columns allows for more flexible arrangement of various equipment (such as space anchor mooring equipment) under the wave shield;
[0019] Fourth, from the perspective of direct effects, installing photovoltaic panels after opening holes in the roof can also achieve a certain lighting effect, and glass can be directly installed in some of the openings as needed, so that the ideal lighting effect can be achieved according to actual needs;
[0020] Fifth, although existing technologies also employ deck openings for wave shields and set up enclosures around the openings to meet the lighting requirements of crew members operating equipment on the bow deck, they cannot achieve the requirement of wind and rain tightness after the openings are made, and a small amount of seawater will still flow into the ship. This invention, by using photovoltaic panels and glass, can achieve the ideal wind and rain tightness effect, and there is no precedent in existing technologies for integrating photovoltaic power generation into ship wave shields.
[0021] Sixth, for large ships with a beam of 10m or more, it is usually necessary to install support columns under the beams. The arrangement of these support columns will have an adverse impact on the arrangement and normal operation of anchoring and mooring equipment. This invention breaks with convention and technical bias. Through calculation and comprehensive research, even if the ship's beam reaches 10m or more, the photovoltaic integrated ship wave shield of this invention can be installed without the need for support columns.
[0022] In summary, this invention adopts a photovoltaic-integrated marine wave shield design. The truss-type wave shield deck structure reduces the weight of the wave shield structure while eliminating the need for support pillars, allowing for optimized layout of deck equipment below the wave shield, facilitating personnel access and operation, and enhancing the ship's aesthetics. The rational and compact installation of photovoltaic panels into the wave shield deck of a large ship effectively utilizes the space on top of the wave shield, provides natural lighting for crew operating deck equipment and adjacent cabins, improves the crew's working and living environment, and generates clean energy for the ship through solar photovoltaic power generation.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 The diagram shows a plan view of the bow section, where the wave shield is located. Figure 2-7 yes Figure 1 Cross-sectional views of various parts of the structure.
[0033] The wave shield deck frame adopts a truss structure, and the photovoltaic panels are integrated into the deck structure.
[0034] Combination Figure 1-7 A photovoltaic power generation integrated ship wave shield includes a top plate 1 and a lower wall 9. The top plate 1 has a plurality of rectangular deck openings 101 regularly opened, and longitudinal girder 3 and transverse beam 4 are formed between each deck opening 101. A photovoltaic panel 2 or transparent glass is installed in each deck opening 101.
[0035] See Figure 2-7 Multiple pairs of truss diagonal braces 7 are fixedly installed at the lower part of adjacent longitudinal trusses 3. The bottom ends of each pair of truss diagonal braces 7 are connected to form a connection node. Multiple connection nodes along the direction of the transverse beam 4 are fixedly connected to the truss horizontal brace 8 to form a set of truss diagonal brace units. The two ends of the truss horizontal brace 8 are fixedly connected to the lower enclosure wall 9. No columns are set in the space below the top plate 1, such as... Figure 7 As shown.
[0036] In this embodiment, see Figure 2-4 Multiple truss bracing units are evenly arranged along the direction of the longitudinal truss 3.
[0037] In this embodiment, see continue to see Figure 2-4 The width of a deck opening 101 is between adjacent truss bracing units.
[0038] In this embodiment, the truss bracing unit is a steel frame structure.
[0039] In this embodiment, see continue to see Figure 2-4 The top plate 1 is inclined and its height gradually decreases towards the bow.
[0040] In this embodiment, the steel frame structure is welded from round steel pipes, such as... Figure 2-5 As shown.
[0041] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 All deck openings 101 are identical in shape and size.
[0042] In this embodiment, see Figure 7 The two ends of the horizontal strut 8 of the truss are fixedly connected to the inner truss panel of the lower enclosure 9.
[0043] In this embodiment, see Figure 1The width of the transverse beam 4 of the top plate 1 gradually shortens towards the bow, and the number of openings of the deck opening 101 decreases in a gradient manner.
[0044] Existing enclosed wave shield structures on ships are mostly plate-frame structures, requiring support columns under the beams for reinforcement. This restricts the placement of deck equipment, resulting in a cumbersome structure with limited functionality. Furthermore, existing enclosed wave shield structures cannot provide natural light to adjacent deck cabins, hindering the placement of living quarters. Deck space resources are not well utilized. This invention employs a truss-type support structure, meeting the strength requirements of large-span structures. It eliminates the need for intermediate support columns, reducing restrictions on deck equipment placement and not affecting personnel passage and operation. This invention integrates solar photovoltaic panels onto the top plate of the enclosed wave shield using a truss support structure, providing additional clean energy for the ship. Without significantly increasing the weight of the wave shield, it fully utilizes the space resources on the large ship's wave shield, not only preventing waves from entering the hull but also providing natural lighting. This invention not only provides electricity to the ship but also enhances its aesthetics and functionality, without affecting personnel passage and operations, eliminating blind spots for the ship's navigator, and improving the working environment for crew members in the area.
[0045] The design of this invention incorporates multiple design considerations. First, if photovoltaic panels are installed on the top plate of the wave shield, the weight would be considerable. The "truss bracing structure" of this invention would struggle to achieve this load-bearing capacity. However, the openings in the top plate reduce weight, allowing the "truss bracing structure" to effectively support the photovoltaic panels after installation. Second, the openings in the top plate somewhat reduce the structural strength of the wave shield, necessitating a high degree of uniformity in the support force. Existing column supports cannot achieve this uniform support effect. The ingenious use of the "truss bracing structure" in this invention precisely achieves this uniform support effect. Third, from a direct perspective, replacing columns with a truss structure allows for more flexible arrangement of various equipment (such as space anchoring equipment) under the wave shield. Fourth, from a direct perspective, the arrangement of photovoltaic panels after openings in the top plate can also achieve a certain lighting effect, and glass can be directly installed in some openings as needed, thus achieving the ideal lighting effect according to actual requirements. Fifth, although existing technologies also use wave shields with deck openings and enclosed walls around the openings to meet the lighting requirements of crew members operating equipment on the bow deck, they cannot achieve the requirement of wind and rain tightness after openings, and a small amount of seawater will still enter the ship. This invention, by using photovoltaic panels and glass, can achieve the ideal wind and rain tightness effect, and there is no precedent in existing technology for integrating photovoltaic power generation into ship wave shields. Sixth, for large ships with a beam of 10m or more, it is usually necessary to install support columns under the beams. The arrangement of these support columns will have an adverse impact on the arrangement and normal operation of anchoring and mooring equipment. This invention breaks with convention and technical bias. Through calculation and comprehensive research, even if the ship's beam reaches 10m or more, the photovoltaic integrated ship wave shield of this invention can be installed without the need for support columns.
[0046] In summary, this invention adopts a photovoltaic-integrated marine wave shield design. The truss-type wave shield deck structure reduces the weight of the wave shield structure while eliminating the need for support pillars, allowing for optimized layout of deck equipment below the wave shield, facilitating personnel access and operation, and enhancing the ship's aesthetics. The rational and compact installation of photovoltaic panels into the wave shield deck of a large ship effectively utilizes the space on top of the wave shield, provides natural lighting for crew operating deck equipment and adjacent cabins, improves the crew's working and living environment, and generates clean energy for the ship through solar photovoltaic power generation.
