[0027] The specific embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0028] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the positions or location relationships indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like in the present application are based on the positions or location relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as indicating or implying that the devices or elements indicated must have a particular position, be constructed and operated in a particular position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0029] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2 - Figure 4 The rudder heel structure 1 of the preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present application includes a center plate 11, a plurality of transverse bulkhead units 12, a platform plate 13 and a plurality of shell side plates 14.

[0031] The center plate 11 includes a first section 111 and a second section 112, both of which extend in a first direction and are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0032] A plurality of transverse partition units 12 are respectively arranged on the center longitudinal plate 11 on both sides of the second direction, and each transverse partition unit 12 on the same side is arranged at intervals along the first direction. The transverse partition unit 12 comprises a transverse partition plate 121 and a first plug welding pad plate 122. The transverse partition plate 121 is arranged on the center longitudinal plate 11, and the first plug welding pad plate 122 is arranged on the side of the transverse partition plate 121 away from the center longitudinal plate 11;

[0033] The top surface of the platform plate 13 is arranged on the bottom surface of the center longitudinal plate 11;

[0034] A plurality of shell side plates 14 are arranged in sequence along the side of the platform plate 13. The two sides of the shell side plate 14 are respectively welded on the two adjacent first plug welding pad plates 122, and the two shell side plates 14 adjacent to each other are welded and connected. The bottom of the shell side plate 14 is welded and arranged on the platform plate 13.

[0035] Based on the above scheme, the device divides the center longitudinal plate 11 into a first segment 111 and a second segment 112, so that when installing the transverse partition plate 121, the platform plate 13 and the shell side plate 14, it can be divided into two groups and installed at the same time. Before the large group installation, the first plug welding pad plate 122 can be installed on the transverse partition plate 121 in advance.

[0042] Based on the above scheme, the device divides the center plate 11 into the first section 111 and the second section 112, and connects the first section 111 and the second section 112 through the connecting piece 21 on the rudder system, which not only ensures the strength of the center plate 11, but also allows the installation of the transverse plate 121, the platform plate 13 and the shell side plate 14 to be performed simultaneously in two groups, thereby shortening the assembly period and providing sufficient construction space for the construction personnel.

[0043] As shown in the figure, Figure 6As shown, in order to ensure the connecting strength of the rudder heel structure 1 and the rudder blade assembly 2, the two sides of the connecting piece 21 along the second direction have third ends 213 and fourth ends 214 extending along the second direction, and the two housing side plates 14 corresponding to the interval between the first section 111 and the second section 112 are each provided with a third plug welding pad plate 142, the third plug welding pad plate 142 is installed on the housing side plate 14 adjacent to one side of the center longitudinal plate 11, and the third end 213 and the fourth end 214 are connected to the two third plug welding pad plates 142 respectively, by providing the third plug welding pad plate 142 on the housing side plate 14 and connecting the connecting piece 21 and the third plug welding pad plate 142, the strength of the structure between the first section 111 and the second section 112 is ensured, and since the span of the connecting piece 21 is large, in order to facilitate production, the two housing side plates 14 corresponding to the interval between the first section 111 and the second section 112 are split into four housing side plates 14 to facilitate assembly, wherein the housing side plates 14 adjacent to each other are first connected through the third plug welding pad plate 142, and then connected through the third plug welding pad plate 142 and the connecting piece 21 to ensure the strength of the internal structure.
