[0002] In the process of shipbuilding, the conventional single shafting ship pot outfitting scheme is to add a layer of side platform between the engine room double bottom and the upper deck, and the side platform is slightly higher than the perforated steel platform, so as to ensure the complete installation of the perforated steel plate and related equipment. It is found in the process of production and application that this method has the following disadvantages: the added layer of side platform is usually a permanent platform, which increases the structural weight of the ship body, which is not conducive to the control of the empty ship weight; even if a small number of side platforms are designed as temporary reinforcement structures, it will cause a large amount of waste of plate materials, and the work load of the later removal and polishing of the temporary platform is huge, which is not conducive to the rapid loading of the propulsion implementation.
[0003] Large and medium-sized ships continue to use the conventional pot outfitting method, which increases the weight of the permanent side platform, wastes resources, and increases the labor and time cost, even if the partial outfitting integrity is improved.
[0004] The prior art (CN113715986A) discloses a method for installing a pot outfitting unit, comprising: dividing the pot outfitting unit into at most eight modules, and the remaining part is included in the remaining outfitting part; the plurality of modules and the ship body side section are mixedly installed; the remaining outfitting part is installed, the basis for module division is the installation position, weight, volume and connection relationship with other equipment of each equipment in the pot outfitting unit, the remaining outfitting part is the equipment in the pot outfitting unit which is not divided into modules, and the equipment not divided into modules includes abstract equipment, equipment at the module connection, and equipment connected with the ship body side section. The technical scheme of the present application divides the pot outfitting unit into a plurality of modules and a remaining outfitting part, and then flexibly adjusts the installation sequence and / or installation route of the modules, the remaining outfitting part and the ship body side section according to the shape, installation position and other factors of the modules, the remaining outfitting part and the ship body side section, which greatly reduces the installation difficulty and improves the installation efficiency. However, it does not solve the problem that the side platform increases the structural weight of the ship body. SUMMARY

[0034] The technical solutions of the application will be further described below in combination with specific embodiments:
[0035] A segment division and reinforcing method for a mid-sized double-stern LNG ship cabin bottom basin outfitting, the method comprising the following steps:
[0036] Step one, as shown in the figure, divide the cabin bottom segment, so that the cabin bottom area 2 and the cargo hold transverse bulkhead combine to form a basin structure; specifically, the lower opening structure of the longitudinal bulkhead of the left side cabin bottom half-stereoscopic segment 1 is higher than the height of the perforated steel plate platform part, which is attached to the left side cabin bottom segment; the lower opening structure of the longitudinal bulkhead of the right side cabin bottom half-stereoscopic segment 1 is higher than the height of the perforated steel plate platform part, which is attached to the right side cabin bottom segment; the lower opening structure of the longitudinal bulkhead of the left and right sides of the original cabin bottom total segment divided middle cabin bottom deck segment is higher than the height of the perforated steel plate platform part, which is attached to the middle cabin bottom segment and remains unchanged, as shown in the figure, the lower opening structure of the four longitudinal bulkheads is attached to the corresponding connected bottom segment respectively, which jointly participates in the total group of the cabin bottom segment, as shown in the figure, the cabin bottom area 2 and the cargo hold transverse bulkhead combine to form a basin structure, and modular construction is carried out on this basis. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
[0037] Step 2: Strengthen the structure of the semi-three-dimensional section 3 at the bottom of the engine room on both sides; add diagonally braced channel steel to the upper part of the longitudinal bulkhead and the broken parts such as the ribs of the semi-three-dimensional section 3 at the bottom of the engine room on both sides along the length of the ship, so that the semi-three-dimensional section 3 at the bottom of the engine room on both sides can be reassembled into a continuous integral structure, thereby strengthening the structural strength of the section and achieving the effect of controlling deformation.
[0038] Step 3: Arrange the supports for the aft and forward semi-three-dimensional sections of the bottom of both engine rooms during assembly; such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the support arrangement for assembling the front and rear semi-three-dimensional sections at the bottom of the two engine rooms includes the following steps: Assembling the front and rear semi-three-dimensional sections at the bottom of the two engine rooms in a normal manner; placing the lower, lower part of the front and rear semi-three-dimensional sections at the bottom of the two engine rooms on the assembly pier 5; placing the separated longitudinal bulkheads on the first stabilizing frame 6; installing support seats 7 in the larger areas of the outer plate and arranging a second stabilizing frame for support, thus solving the problem of inconvenient placement and easy overturning due to uneven lower structure.
[0039] Step four involves applying constraint welds to the fore and aft semi-three-dimensional sections at the bottom of the engine room on both sides. When assembling the fore and aft semi-three-dimensional sections 3 at the bottom of the engine room on the port side, two constraint welds are applied along the beam direction on the deck surface of the fore and aft docking joints, and one constraint weld is applied on the bottom outer plating of the fore and aft docking joints. The same three constraint welds are applied to the starboard side to address the issue of easy tipping during the unhooking phase of the section assembly.
[0040] Step 5, as Figure 7 As shown, constraint welding is added to the bottom side section 4 of both engine rooms before the hook is released during the loading stage.
[0041] The steps for adding restraint welding to the bottom side sections 4 of both engine rooms before unhooking during the loading phase include: Figure 8 As shown, before the unhooking of the main section 4 at the bottom of the left engine room, five restraint welds are arranged along the length of the ship at the mounting joint of the lower rib plate of the main section, and four restraint welds are arranged along the length of the ship at the mounting joint of the main section near the midships on the deck surface. The same nine restraint welds are also arranged on the starboard side to solve the problem of easy tipping during the unhooking stage of the main section.
[0042] This embodiment is merely a further explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make non-inventive modifications to this embodiment as needed after reading this specification, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
