Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ships, in particular to a LNG bunkering ship hydraulic lifting platform. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, with the increasingly strict national discharge of ship pollutants, the types and quantities of merchant ships using LNG as fuel have increased significantly; bunkering is a key link in the LNG fuel supply chain on water and the first problem to be solved for promoting the use of LNG as a marine fuel; the connection between the bunkering party and the bunkered party is crucial during the bunkering process of LNG, which is super-cooled (-163℃ or so), and the bunkering hose cannot be randomly laid on the ship body to avoid low-temperature damage to the ship structure; for example, the prior art discloses a LNG fuel bunkering ship, application number CN 110877664 A, application publication date 2020.03.13, by arranging a bunkering platform on the ship body, the bunkering hose is laid on the bunkering platform, but since the heights of various merchant ships are different, the height of the bunkering platform arranged on the LNG bunkering ship is usually fixed, when the height difference between the LNG bunkering ship and the merchant ship bunkering station is too large, the required hose will be very long, which cannot be effectively fixed, resulting in huge loss of cold energy of LNG, and the abrasion of the hose will be intensified and even cause leakage, which has serious safety hazards, or the posture cannot be adjusted for connection of the hose, so that the bunkering fails;

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the prior art uses a bunkering crane to adjust the position of the bunkering hose, for example, the prior art discloses a LNG auxiliary bunkering arm, application publication number CN 113845044 A, application publication date 2021.12.28, during bunkering, the bunkering hose is hoisted by the bunkering arm, so that the bunkering port of the bunkering hose is consistent with the height of the merchant ship, although the prior art solves the problem of height difference during bunkering, but a large bunkering arm is needed to assist during bunkering, which not only occupies space, but also increases cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a LNG bunkering ship hydraulic lifting platform which reduces cost and optimizes space.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present application, the LNG bunkering ship hydraulic lifting platform adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The hydraulic lifting platform of the LNG filling ship comprises a support base welded on one side of the ship body, the support base is provided with a first filling platform capable of being lifted, the first filling platform is provided with a lifting assembly for driving the first filling platform to lift, the lifting assembly comprises a hydraulic oil cylinder hinged to the support base, a cylinder barrel of the hydraulic oil cylinder is hinged to the support base, a piston rod of the hydraulic oil cylinder is hinged to the middle of a first support, a lower end of the first support is hinged to the support base, and an upper end of the first support is hinged to the first filling platform; one end of the first filling platform is hinged to the first support, the first filling platform is hinged to a second support at the other end, the second support is provided with a second filling platform arranged along the length direction of the second support, an upper end of the second support is hinged to the first filling platform, and a lower end of the second support is hinged to the support base; the first filling platform is provided with an upper hinge base hinged to the second support, and a hinge point of the second support hinged to the upper hinge base is located above the first filling platform; the first filling platform is provided with a lower hinge base hinged to the first support, and a hinge point of the first support hinged to the lower hinge base is located below the first filling platform; the support base is provided with a first hinge base hinged to the first support, the support base is provided with a second hinge base hinged to the second support, and the support base is provided with a third hinge base hinged to the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic oil cylinder; the hinge point of the first support hinged to the first hinge base is lower than the hinge point of the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic oil cylinder hinged to the third hinge base, and the hinge point of the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic oil cylinder hinged to the third hinge base is lower than the hinge point of the second support hinged to the second hinge base.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the first support hinged to the first filling platform is hinged to a ladder, one end of the ladder is hinged to the first filling platform, and the other end of the ladder is movably installed on one side of the ship body, the ship body is provided with a ladder sliding rail, and the ladder is provided with a sliding block matched with the ladder sliding rail to slide. By arranging the ladder, when the first filling platform is adjusted to a suitable height, personnel can climb to the first filling platform through the ladder to lay the filling hose. The ladder is hinged to the first filling platform, and the lifting of the first filling platform drives the ladder to slide along the ladder sliding rail.

[0008] Preferably, the first filling platform comprises a first platform surface, and the first platform surface is provided with a first handrail around the periphery.

[0009] Preferably, the first handrail is provided with a first tray for holding the filling hose, and the first tray is made of a low-temperature-resistant material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The first filling platform is driven to ascend and descend by the lifting assembly, so that when the height of the first filling platform is substantially the same as the height of the merchant ship to be filled, the filling hose can be laid on the first filling platform to connect the filling port of the merchant ship for filling. The height difference of the filling port between the filling ship and the merchant ship is adjusted by the lifting assembly, so that the filling hose is more convenient to dock with the filling port of the merchant ship, which not only facilitates the docking of the filling hose, but also reduces the risk.

[0014] 2. The lifting assembly is driven by the hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract, and drives the first support to rotate around the hinge point of the first hinge base, so as to realize the lifting of the first filling platform. The lifting assembly has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, low cost and small space occupation.

[0015] 3. The second filling platform is arranged along the length direction of the second support, and when the hydraulic cylinder is fully extended, the second filling platform rotates around the second hinge point until the second filling platform is horizontally arranged on the support seat. At this time, the filling hose can be laid on the second filling platform, and the second filling platform provides more filling stations.

[0016] 4. When the hydraulic cylinder is fully extended, the lowest filling position of the LNG filling ship hydraulic lifting platform is formed. Since the hinge point of the upper hinge base of the second support is located above the first filling platform, and the hinge point of the lower hinge base of the first support is located below the first filling platform, a height difference is formed between the first filling platform and the second filling platform, and the second filling platform is higher than the first filling platform. The first filling platform or the second filling platform can be selected for filling, the height is finely adjusted, and the filling is more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
