[0027] Figure 1is a flowchart of a ship dock rapid construction method in the embodiments of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to enable the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application to be more clearly understood, the following will further describe the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other manners different from those described herein, and therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0031] Embodiments of the present application disclose a ship dock rapid construction method. Referring to Figure 1 A ship dock rapid construction method includes the following steps:

[0032] S01: preparation before construction, including:

[0033] No. ship construction cycle arrangement, meeting the requirements of starting, production, construction and on-time delivery, according to the planned delivery date, the starting date is deduced, considering the factors of early preparation, material procurement, etc. The ship construction process is divided into multiple stages, including welding, equipment installation, painting, etc. Using project management tools, detailed production plans are developed to ensure that each stage has enough time to complete.

[0034] Considering the need for in-situ half-ship landing and the ability of the dock to meet the half-ship floating state water requirement, it is suggested to promote the same type of ship to avoid re-arrangement of the dock pier; the half-ship loading state needs to meet the length and width requirements of the dock, according to the length and width requirements of the dock, a suitable loading method is designed to ensure that the position and attitude of the half-ship in the dock meet the requirements; the dock can meet the half-ship floating state water requirement; the matching between the half-ship integrity state requirement and the dock cycle; the half-ship wharf berthing with cable meets the safety requirements, the cable system designed for the half-ship wharf berthing meets the safety standards, ensuring the stability and safety of the ship during berthing;

[0035] S02: 1# aft half ship and 2# aft half ship complete half ship loading during construction period; before floating, structural welding state inspection and safety inspection are carried out on 1# aft half ship and 2# aft half ship (water filling state: ensure that the water tank, oil tank and other equipment inside the ship body have been filled or emptied to meet the requirements of floating. Cabling: check the connection of the ship body and the cable on the dock to ensure the firmness and safety of the cable. Pipe: check the installation and connection of the ship's pipeline system to ensure the integrity and sealing of the pipeline. Stern shaft sealing: check the sealing device of the stern shaft to ensure the sealing of the water line and oil line to prevent water and oil leakage into the ship body, etc.);

[0036] S03: open the dock gate to fill water, at this time 1# aft half ship and 2# aft half ship are in the dock, and 1# aft half ship and 2# aft half ship are floated;

[0037] S04: 2# aft half ship is docked at the dock, and 1# aft half ship is moved to the position of 2# aft half ship;

[0038] The moving and landing of the dock mainly considers two factors: the overall arrangement and the selection of the engine room position.

[0039] Firstly, the overall arrangement is close to the dock entrance, and the bow is towards the land side, which is to meet the requirements of the dock bottom load. This is because during the construction of the dock, maintenance, repair or modification of the ship is needed, and the weight of the ship needs to be evenly distributed on the dock bottom to ensure the carrying capacity of the dock bottom. By placing the overall arrangement close to the dock entrance, the weight of the ship is concentrated in the carrying range of the dock bottom, meeting the requirements of the dock bottom load.

[0040] Secondly, the upper building and the main engine are usually transported back to the factory by external ships, so placing the engine room close to the dock entrance helps to reduce the time-consuming of the gantry crane lifting. By placing the engine room close to the dock entrance, the distance of transporting the internal equipment of the ship can be shortened, reducing the time and cost of equipment transportation. At the same time, reducing the time-consuming of the gantry crane lifting can improve the construction efficiency and save the construction period and human resources.

[0041] Overall, when considering the overall arrangement and the engine room position, the moving and landing of the dock focuses on the requirements of the dock bottom load and the efficiency of equipment transportation. Such construction method makes the use of the dock more flexible and efficient, improving the construction efficiency and economic benefits.

[0042] S05: close the dock gate, pump water and flush mud, carry out overall construction on 1# aft half ship, complete the lifting of main engine, upper building, etc., complete the structure, tightness and painting work, meet the conditions of out of dock and improve the overall integrity state;

[0043] The integrity state is an important part of the shipbuilding process, including multiple subsequent outfitting work, such as box column and bollard structure welding, stern half ship cabin tightness and strength test, hatch cover accessory installation, half ship pipe and service passage cable laying, ballast tank pipe accessory inspection and pipe system tightness inspection, etc.

[0044] Firstly, box column and bollard structure welding refers to the welding process treatment of the box column and bollard of the ship to ensure its tight, firm and reliable connection. This is to provide the structural strength and stability of the ship to cope with the harsh marine environment and long-term operation.

[0045] Secondly, the stern half ship cabin tightness and strength test is to verify the sealing performance and structural strength of the cabin under water working environment. Through water pressure test and structural acceptance, it can ensure that the cabin can be waterproof, pressure-resistant and meet the navigation requirements.

[0046] The installation of hatch cover accessories involves the accessories and sealing devices of the hatch cover to ensure its normal use and sealing performance. The half ship pipe and service passage cable laying is to lay the pipelines and cables inside the ship to meet the connection requirements of different systems and equipment.

[0047] The ballast tank pipe accessory inspection is to check and accept the pipe system and its accessories of the ballast tank to ensure its normal operation and compliance with relevant standards and specifications. The pipe system tightness inspection is to test the sealing performance of the entire pipe system to confirm the reliability and sealing performance of the pipe connection.

[0048] These subsequent outfitting work plays an important role in the shipbuilding process, which ensures the integrity, safety and performance of the ship. Only after these work is completed and accepted, the ship can be formally put into use and meet the navigation requirements. Therefore, the integrity state is crucial for the quality and reliability of shipbuilding.

[0049] S06: 2# stern half ship during the period of docking, improve the integrity of the half ship;

[0050] S07: 1# ship out of the dock and docked for dock mooring test, 2# stern half ship into the dock for whole ship construction;

[0051] S08: 2# ship realizes whole ship construction and launching during the dock period.

[0052] The implementation principle of the ship dock rapid construction method of the embodiment of the application is: through the time utilization during the construction of 1# stern half ship and 2# stern half ship, the construction of the two ship bodies can be synchronized, and the main line work of the engine room of the two ships can be completed in the same time period, so as to shorten the overall dock period.
