Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, in particular to a cargo hold structure of an oil tanker without a platform at the upper fold of the bilge bottom tank. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional type of transport ship, the traditional cargo hold structure of an oil tanker is as Figures 5 to 7 shown, which consists of a main deck 1, one or two longitudinal bulkheads 2, and a double bottom 9. Its outer shell 3 is composed of a vertical side shell plate, an arc-shaped bilge, and a flat bottom. The inner shell 4 is composed of a vertical inner shell plate, a bilge bottom tank inclined plate 11, and a horizontal inner bottom. The inner shell 3 and the outer shell 4 are connected by horizontal girders and bottom longitudinal girders.

[0003] For an oil tanker, the traditional layout of the cargo hold structure generally sets a platform at the height of the upper fold 7 of the bilge bottom tank 10, and the platform is connected to the horizontal girder 24 of the transverse bulkhead 8. However, it is found in the design process that the stress level of the platform at the upper fold of the bilge bottom tank is relatively low. Considering the requirements of the PMA (Permanent Means of Access) passage rules, the platform at the upper fold of the bilge bottom tank is relatively close to the inner bottom, which limits the design height of the platforms and the horizontal girders of the transverse bulkheads at other positions. As a result, traditional oil tankers generally require three horizontal girders, with a large number of parts, increasing the weight of the hull structure and being unfavorable for the cost control of the shipyard. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that there are a large number of parts in the bilge bottom tank of the existing cargo hold, the weight of the hull structure is large, and the cost of the shipyard is high.

The main deck, longitudinal bulkheads, inner shell, outer shell, double bottom, and transverse bulkheads are connected to each other to form a cargo hold. Among them, the double bottom is arranged at the bottom, the longitudinal bulkheads are arranged on one side, the inner shell and the outer shell are arranged on the other side opposite to the longitudinal bulkheads, the transverse bulkheads are arranged on the remaining two side surfaces, the main deck is arranged at the top. A bilge bottom tank is provided at the connection of the inner shell and the outer shell with the double bottom. A bilge bottom tank inclined plate is provided on one side inside the cargo hold of the bilge bottom tank. Horizontal stiffeners are arranged at the upper fold where the bilge bottom tank inclined plate is connected to the inner shell and the outer shell. A T-shaped section with a raised web is provided on the side of the bilge bottom tank. A horizontal PMA is provided below the main deck. An intermediate platform is provided vertically on the transverse bulkhead between the height of the horizontal PMA and the inner bottom of the double bottom.

[0006] Optionally, the intermediate platform includes an inboard platform between double hulls on the ship's side, horizontal girders of transverse bulkheads, and horizontal girders of longitudinal bulkheads. The inboard platform between double hulls on the ship's side is arranged on the inner hull, the horizontal girders of transverse bulkheads are arranged on the transverse bulkheads, and the horizontal girders of longitudinal bulkheads are arranged on the longitudinal bulkheads.

[0007] Optionally, the horizontal PMA is not more than 3 m away from the longitudinal members of the main deck, and the angle between the inclined plate of the bottom side tank and the horizontal plane is 35° to 60°.

[0008] Optionally, the height of the upper fold angle of the inclined plate of the bottom side tank is determined according to the tank capacity, and the size of the horizontal stiffeners is determined by code calculation and finite element analysis to meet the structural strength requirements.

[0009] Optionally, the T-section is horizontally arranged within 6 m from the baseline, and the height of the T-section is 600 mm to 1000 mm.

[0010] Optionally, the height H of the intermediate platform, the height H1 of the horizontal PMA, and the height H2 of the inner bottom satisfy the following relationship:

[0011] H = (H1 + H2) / 2 × (1 ± 10%).

[0012] In summary, the present utility model has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In the present utility model, no platform is provided at the upper fold angle of the bilge bottom side tank, and no horizontal girder is provided at the height of the upper fold angle of the bottom side tank of the transverse bulkhead, reducing one side platform and one horizontal girder of the transverse bulkhead, which can reduce the structural weight, lower the construction cost, save the construction process, and at the same time reduce the operation cost and improve the economy.

[0014] 2. The present utility model places the height of the intermediate platform in the middle of the vertical stiffeners of the transverse bulkhead, playing a role in evenly distributing the span of the vertical stiffeners, which is beneficial to controlling the deformation of the transverse bulkhead.
