DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] This application discloses a construction process for closing annular segmented buildings in cargo holds of ships. Figure 1-3 , a construction process for closing annular segmented buildings of cargo holds of ships, the specific process flow is as follows:

[0041] S1, assemble the cargo hold sections of the bulk carrier into annular sections on the assembly platform beside the dock. The cargo hold sections include double bottom sections, hopper tank sections, corrugated bulkhead sections and middle deck sections;

[0042] S2, install temporary auxiliary closing fixtures on the bottom plate and top of the closing end of the cargo hold section, and position the lifting assembly of the hold section;

[0043] S3, finally use the dock to hoist to the closing platform to close this cargo hold section, and the temporary auxiliary closing tooling plays a role in hoisting reinforcement and prevention of hoisting deformation during closing.

[0044] The main hull sections of bulk carriers are first assembled on the assembly platform, and the closing end face data of each ring section is measured by total station. The closing end data of all the ring sections of the main hull are mastered before closing, so that the accuracy of the main hull can be accurately controlled;

[0045] After the overall structure is divided into ring sections, the pipe and iron outfitting of the entire ring section can be welded in place, shortening the installation time of dock outfitting parts;

[0046] After the assembly is divided into circular sections, the length of the joint in the dock will be reduced by more than 1 / 3, and the man-hours for welding, repairing and painting in the dock will be greatly reduced;

[0047] The overall lifting weight of the annular section is controlled below 700T, and can be safely lifted using an 800T gantry crane; the addition of temporary auxiliary closing tooling at the bow and stern ends of the annular section can effectively control the section accuracy and lifting rigidity; it can effectively shorten the dock / slipway cycle and increase the annual number of ships delivered by the shipyard.

[0048] The temporary auxiliary closing tooling in step S2 includes a horizontal girder 1 and a positioning column 2. The positioning column is made of a seamless steel pipe with a diameter greater than 400 mm. The horizontal girder is an I-beam with a web height greater than 1000 mm, a panel width greater than 400 mm, and a plate thickness greater than 16 mm. Optionally, after the closing process is completed, the parts extending out of the cargo hold segment at both ends of the horizontal girder 1 can be cut off, and a surface deck can be laid between multiple horizontal girder 1.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 The horizontal girder 1 is installed at the closed end of the top of the cargo hold segment. A pair of installation grooves are provided on the bottom plate of the cargo hold segment. A threaded ring is embedded in the installation groove. The positioning column 2 is threadedly connected with the threaded ring. The threaded ring is made of a high melting point resin with a melting point of 300 degrees Celsius. The top of the positioning column 2 is provided with an annular groove matching the threaded ring.

[0050] See also Figure 6 An auxiliary positioner 3 is installed in the positioning column 2, and the auxiliary positioner 3 includes a shell 301. A hot melt adhesive layer 302 is laid on the outer wall of the shell 301. The hot melt adhesive layer 302 is composed of a low melting point resin adhesive layer, and the melting point of the hot melt adhesive layer 302 is 150 degrees Celsius. A permanent magnet ring 303 is installed at the bottom end of the shell 301, and a laser emitting tube 304 is installed in the shell 301. An explosion-proof lens matching the laser emitting tube 304 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the permanent magnet ring 303. The closing work is assisted by a temporary auxiliary closing tool to prevent welding deformation; when the dock hoisting closes this annular segment, the temporary auxiliary closing tool also plays a role in strengthening the hoisting and preventing hoisting deformation.

[0051] See also Figure 4-6 The closing platform in step S3 includes multiple pairs of support frames 4, the support frames 4 include fixed frames 401, an electric guide rail 402 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 401, and auxiliary support beams 403 are connected between the movable ends of multiple electric guide rails 402. A connecting rod 5 is connected between the bottom ends of a pair of support frames 4, and a positioning seat 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting rod 5. A plurality of evenly distributed inserts that match the positioning columns 2 are inserted on the positioning seat 6, and a heat exchange ring that matches the electric heating plate 702 is fixedly connected to the top of the insert. The positioning seat 6 is made of heat insulating material, and the insert is made of heat conductive material.

[0052] The positioning seat 6 is provided with a plurality of receiving holes matching the insert tube, the receiving holes are provided with slots matching the insert tube, and an electromagnet is installed at the bottom of the receiving holes. A plurality of heating devices 7 matching the insert tube are installed in the positioning seat 6, and the heating devices 7 include a water heating ring 701 sleeved on the outside of the insert tube, and an electric heating plate 702 is installed on the top of the water heating ring 701. When the closing platform is used for auxiliary closing, the positioning column 2 at the bottom can be quickly disassembled after the closing is completed, which is convenient for separating the closed sections from the closing platform, and eliminating the work of disassembling the positioning column 2 later. The closing platform cooperates with the auxiliary positioner to ensure accurate hoisting positioning.

[0053] It also includes a control system, which includes a controller installed on the support frame 4, a laser receiving sensor matching the laser emitting tube 304 is installed at the bottom end of the receiving hole, the electric guide rail 402, the laser receiving sensor and the heating device 7 are all electrically connected to the controller, and during the lifting of the cargo warehouse sections, the receiving hole on the positioning seat 6 is matched with the positioning column by matching the laser emitting tube 304 with the laser receiving sensor, so that when the cargo warehouse sections are placed on the positioning seat, the positioning column 2 can be accurately inserted into the receiving hole, and the receiving hole is a slotted hole type, ensuring that when the two cargo warehouse sections are closed, there is enough spacing before closing for positioning and adjustment.

[0054] The specific use of temporary auxiliary closing tooling is:

[0055] S1, when in use, multiple segments are matched with the positioning seats by hoisting and then closed;

[0056] S2, after the closing welding is completed, the positioning column 2 can be heated in stages by the heating device 7 in the positioning seat 6, so that the positioning column 2 is separated from the ship section by section;

[0057] S3, in the process of separating the auxiliary positioner 3, the water heating ring 701 is first used to heat the hot melt adhesive layer 302 to at least 150 degrees Celsius to soften it, and then the electromagnet is turned on to make the auxiliary positioner 3 as a whole sink into the receiving hole under the interaction between the permanent magnet ring 303 and the electromagnet;

[0058] S4, then turn on the electric heating plate 702, so that the threaded ring is heated to at least 300 degrees Celsius and melted, so that the positioning column 2 is separated from the ship segment, and the melted threaded ring flows into the annular groove at the top of the positioning column 2. After the electric heating plate 702 stops working, the cooled and solidified resin bonds the positioning column 2 to the positioning seat, ensuring that the positioning column 2 does not move when the cargo hold segment is hoisted;

[0059] S5, finally use the lifting equipment to move the assembled ship sections, thus completing the positioning release.

[0060] This solution enables the sections of the same ring of the cargo hold main hull to be assembled into ring sections on the assembly platform and then assembled, which reduces the number of assembly and hoisting times in the dock, shortens the dock assembly time, and saves dock resources.

[0061] The above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes within the technical scope disclosed in the present application according to the technical solution and its improved conception, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
