Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship cabin structure technology, and in particular to a deformable cabin unit and ship based on a flexible structure. Background Technology

[0002] A large cruise ship often carries thousands of passengers and crew members, with thousands of cabins for them to live in. Living space is an important part of a large cruise ship.

[0003] To shorten the construction time and improve efficiency of large cruise ships, standard cabin units are typically prefabricated on shore. (See details...) Figure 1 As shown, it is then hoisted onto a large cruise ship.

[0004] However, the cabin layout of large cruise ships is highly complex due to the overall functional layout of the ship. The arrangement of the cabin unit's bulkhead system is closely related to the hull support structure, ventilation and cable conduits, as well as the placement of various windows to conform to the hull's appearance. When the cabin bulkhead system interferes with other components on the ship, modular prefabrication of the cabins becomes difficult, requiring on-site installation of the bulkhead system, furniture, equipment, and other accessories according to the actual situation. Furthermore, some standard cabin unit wall panels require local adjustments. For details, please refer to... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, this ultimately leads to a wide variety of cabin types, greatly reducing the prefabrication rate of cabin units, which in turn results in the setting of more irregular cabin units. On-site construction of irregular cabin units increases construction time and costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the limitation of requiring local adjustments to the bulkhead panels of cabin units, this invention provides a deformable cabin unit and vessel based on a flexible structure. The flexible structure is employed in the bulkhead areas where adjustments are easily made, allowing prefabricated cabin units to be locally adjusted on-site according to actual conditions. This improves the prefabrication rate of cabin units, increases construction efficiency, and reduces construction costs.

[0006] This invention provides a deformable compartment unit based on a flexible structure, comprising:

[0007] A flexible wall panel is disposed in a portion of the cabin enclosure wall of the deformable cabin unit. The flexible wall panel is capable of deformation to avoid structural components that interfere with the cabin enclosure wall.

[0008] A flexible enclosure is provided within a predetermined range around the window sill of the deformable compartment unit to adjust the position of the window sill by deformation of the flexible enclosure.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the height dimension of the flexible wall panel is the same as the height dimension of the cabin enclosure wall, and the installation area of ​​the flexible wall panel in the cabin enclosure wall is determined based on the area range where the structural component interferes with the cabin enclosure wall.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, within the area, the cabin walls are all made of the flexible wall panels, or the flexible wall panels and the fixed wall panels are arranged alternately, wherein the width of the fixed wall panels is determined based on the width of the structural components, and the flexible wall panels are deformed by stretching.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the setting range around the window sill for setting the flexible enclosure is determined based on the maximum deviation range that the actual window installation position on the hull can produce from the window sill, wherein the setting range in each direction around the window sill may be the same or different.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, both the flexible wall panel and the flexible enclosure panel are made of aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board, and the aluminum alloy core material frame of the aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board is deformed by stretching and is wrapped with core material.

[0013] The shaped wall panel is a non-elastic aluminum alloy fireproof board.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the stretching direction of the flexible enclosures provided at the upper and lower parts of the window sill is the vertical direction;

[0015] The flexible enclosures on the left and right sides of the window sill are stretched in the left-right direction.

[0016] The displacement adjustment range of the window sill in the vertical and horizontal directions is at least 50mm.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present invention, the deformable compartment unit further includes:

[0018] A fixing component is used to fix the flexible wall panel that has deformed and avoided the structural component, as well as the flexible enclosure panel that has deformed and adjusted the position of the window sill, so as to strengthen the structural stability of the deformed flexible wall panel and the flexible enclosure panel.

[0019] This invention also provides a ship that employs deformable compartment units based on flexible structures as described above.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the deformable cabin unit and ship based on flexible structure provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: By adding local flexible structures to the cabin unit, the prefabricated cabin unit can adjust the shape of the local bulkhead according to the actual situation during on-site installation, which is convenient, efficient, and cost-effective. At the same time, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures realizes flexible connection between the cabin unit, the structure, and doors and windows, which helps to reduce structural vibration and structural noise of the cabin. In addition, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures makes the shape have a certain regularity, and the wrapping of the outer part of the structure will not destroy the aesthetics of the enclosure itself, while also having a certain decorative effect.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Various embodiments and features of this application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] These and other features of this application will become apparent from the following description of preferred forms of embodiments given as non-limiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should also be understood that although this application has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art can certainly implement many other equivalent forms of this application, which have the features described in the claims and are therefore all within the scope of protection defined herein.

[0035] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of this application will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and in view of the following detailed description.

[0036] Specific embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of this application, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to ascertain the true intent based on the user's historical operations, and to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that would obscure this application. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use this application in various ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0037] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this application.

[0038] There are two main types of existing marine fireproof boards: composite rock wool boards and aluminum alloy fireproof boards. See details below. Figure 6 As shown, composite rock wool boards typically consist of a fire-resistant rock wool core and a PVC surface; aluminum alloy fire-resistant boards typically consist of a honeycomb-structured aluminum alloy core and a PVC surface. Existing marine fire-resistant boards are all fixed and inelastic.

[0039] This invention provides a deformable compartment unit based on a flexible structure, such as... Figures 7 to 10As shown, a portion of the cabin wall of the deformable compartment unit employs a deformable flexible wall panel structure, as does the area around the window sill. This allows for adjustment of the cabin wall and window sill positions by adjusting the deformation of the flexible wall panels and flexible enclosure. Specifically, the flexible wall panels are located in a portion of the cabin wall of the deformable compartment unit, and these flexible wall panels can deform to avoid structural components that interfere with the cabin wall. The flexible enclosure panels are located within a set range around the window sills of the deformable compartment unit, allowing for adjustment of the window sill position through deformation. Furthermore, in this embodiment, flexible enclosure panels can also be used around the cabin doors of the deformable compartment unit, thereby allowing for adjustment of the cabin door position to better adapt to the hull structure.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, when using flexible panels in the cabin enclosure, the main requirement is for the flexible panels to be stretched laterally. Therefore, the height of the flexible panels can be designed to be the same as the height of the cabin enclosure. The area where the flexible panels are installed in the cabin enclosure is determined based on the area where the structural components interfere with the cabin enclosure. For example, the two side walls of the deformable cabin unit may interfere with the ship's structural columns, ventilation and cable conduits, etc. Therefore, when configuring cabin units for a certain ship type, the position of the flexible panels in the cabin enclosure can be pre-designed based on the corresponding structure of the ship's structure. Then, when interference occurs between the cabin unit and the corresponding part of the ship's structure, the flexible panels in the corresponding area can be stretched and deformed to avoid interference with the ship's structure.

[0041] Furthermore, within the area, the cabin walls are all made of flexible panels. That is, by stretching and deforming the flexible panels, the stretched and deformed flexible panels are slightly adjusted toward the inside of the cabin unit, thereby achieving avoidance of the structural components of the hull.

[0042] Alternatively, flexible and fixed-size wall panels can be used alternately within the area. The width of the fixed-size wall panels is determined based on the width of the structural components. The flexible wall panels deform by stretching. In this case, the flexible wall panels on both sides of the fixed-size wall panels corresponding to the structural components of the hull can be stretched and, together with the fixed-size wall panels corresponding to the structural components of the hull, can be finely adjusted towards the inside of the compartment unit to avoid the structural components.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the setting range for the flexible enclosure around the window sill is determined based on the maximum deviation range that the actual window installation position on the hull can produce from the window sill. The setting ranges in each direction around the window sill may be the same or different.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flexible enclosures provided at the upper and lower parts of the window sill are stretched in the vertical direction, and the stretchable adjustment range of the flexible enclosures at the upper and lower parts of the window sill can be different; the flexible enclosures provided on the left and right sides of the window sill are stretched in the horizontal direction, and the stretchable adjustment range of the flexible enclosures on the left and right sides of the window sill can be different; the displacement adjustment range of the window sill in the vertical and horizontal directions is at least 50mm.

[0045] As an example, six flexible aluminum alloy fireproof panels are used around the window sill, while the other panels are conventional non-elastic marine aluminum alloy fireproof panels. The window sill is installed on this wall, and the position of the window can be adjusted left and right, with a displacement range of at least about 50mm.

[0046] In this embodiment, both the flexible wall panel and the flexible enclosure panel are made of aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board. The aluminum alloy core frame of the aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board deforms through stretching and is wrapped with the core material. The surface material wrapping the core material is an elastic material. The fixed wall panel is a non-elastic aluminum alloy fireproof board. Furthermore, in the structure of the aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board, the core material is made of aluminum alloy, and each aluminum alloy structure is connected by a pivot. After stretching the aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board, a 300mm long aluminum alloy flexible fireproof board can be stretched to a length of 400mm, with its thickness only reduced by 0.5mm, which can be considered negligible.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the deformable cabin unit further includes: a fixing component, which is used to fix the flexible wall panel that has deformed and avoided the structural component and the flexible enclosure panel that has deformed and adjusted the position of the window sill, so as to maintain the structural stability of the deformed flexible wall panel and the flexible enclosure panel. The fixing component can be a slot, a fixing reinforcing plate or other structural component that can fix the deformed flexible wall panel or the flexible enclosure panel.

[0048] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the deformable cabin unit based on a flexible structure provided in the above embodiments of the present invention, by adding a local flexible structure to the cabin unit, allows the prefabricated cabin unit to adjust the shape of the local cabin wall according to the actual situation during on-site installation, which is convenient for installation, improves efficiency, and saves costs. At the same time, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures realizes the flexible connection between the cabin unit and the structure and doors and windows, which helps to reduce the structural vibration and structural noise of the cabin. In addition, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures makes the shape have a certain regularity, and the wrapping of the outer part of the structure will not destroy the aesthetics of the enclosure itself, while also having a certain decorative effect.

[0049] This invention also provides a ship that adopts the deformable cabin unit based on a flexible structure as described above. This ship possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned deformable cabin unit based on a flexible structure. By adding local flexible structures to the cabin unit, the prefabricated cabin unit can adjust the shape of local bulkheads according to actual conditions during on-site installation, making installation convenient, improving efficiency, and saving costs. Simultaneously, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures achieves flexible connections between the cabin unit, the structure, and doors and windows, which helps reduce structural vibration and noise in the cabin. Furthermore, the use of flexible wall panels or flexible enclosures allows for a certain degree of regularity in the shape, ensuring that the enclosure's appearance is not compromised when wrapped around the structure, while also providing a decorative effect.

[0050] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within its spirit and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
