Considering the ring plate and economy, dual-fuel main engines are equipped with a large number of new ships, and some old ships are also converted into dual-fuel ships. Type B tanks, as storage equipment for LNG, are also widely arranged on ships. The air dome structure of the type B tank extends out of the upper deck of the hull, and the top of the air dome is connected to the upper deck. Due to the effects of inertia and acceleration, the air dome structure and the upper deck will have relative movement, and the load will be too large at the connection position. In addition, the air dome is filled with inert gas and is in contact with the type B tank. The type B tank is filled with low-temperature LNG, and the temperature of the inert gas is low.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figure 1 , 3 The B-type cabin air dome with an energy absorbing connection device is shown. The top of the air dome of the B-type cabin extends out of the upper deck. The top of the air dome has a top plate. The lower surface of the top plate is fixed with a deck longitudinal girder. The energy absorbing connection piece is fixed under the deck longitudinal girder. The main body of the energy absorbing connection piece is " W "type," W The "-shaped body is placed lying down, forming two upper and lower wing plates, two first grooves on the same side, and a second groove on the opposite side. The first groove is far away from the air dome, and the bottoms of the first groove and the second groove are both arc-shaped. The two first grooves are filled with first energy-absorbing rubbers, and the second groove is fixed with a second energy-absorbing rubber. The first energy-absorbing rubber is bonded to the inside of the first groove, and the second energy-absorbing rubber is gourd-shaped as a whole, fixed to the second groove by a positioning spring. There is a gap between the second energy-absorbing rubber and the bottom of the second groove, and there is a gap between the second energy-absorbing rubber and the groove wall around the second groove. The gourd-shaped second energy-absorbing rubber is placed horizontally, and two positioning springs are symmetrically located on both sides of the waist of the second energy-absorbing rubber. One end of the positioning spring is fixed to the second energy-absorbing rubber, and the other end is fixed to the groove wall of the second groove.
[0023] The upper and lower wing plates of the main body are connected to the deck longitudinal girder and the upper deck hatch enclosure by bolts. The sections of the deck longitudinal girder and the upper deck hatch enclosure are both T-shaped. The upper and lower wing plates of the main body are respectively fitted with the deck longitudinal girder and the upper deck hatch enclosure and fixed by bolts.
[0024] When the air dome moves vertically relative to the upper deck structure of the hull, the flexible connector will be stretched or compressed to absorb energy and prevent structural damage.
[0025] When the flexible connector is in a stretched state, if the relative movement is too violent and exceeds the elastic range of the flexible connector material, the first energy-absorbing rubber will be stretched to protect the flexible connector from being damaged. When the flexible connector is in a compressed state, if the relative movement is too violent, the large ball of the second energy-absorbing rubber will be compressed first, increasing the rigidity of the connecting steel plate, providing it with restoring force, and preventing the end structure of the connecting steel plate from being damaged. If the movement is further intensified, the small ball of the second energy-absorbing rubber will be compressed to protect the flexible connector from being damaged. When the inert gas in the air dome expands due to heat, it will drive the deck longitudinal girder and the upper deck hatch enclosure structure to produce lateral relative movement. The first energy-absorbing rubber will produce lateral deformation and evenly transfer the lateral load to the bolts to prevent structural damage.
