Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of large ships, and more particularly to an outfitting system and operation method for installing windshields on ships. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to reduce wind resistance during navigation, some ships have installed wind deflectors on the bow mooring deck area. In the prior art, invention patent 202211403295.8 provides a wind deflector structure and its installation method for the bow of ultra-large container ships, illustrating the mooring access port. However, the location is not ideal, making mooring operations difficult. It states that the wind deflector structure does not affect any existing equipment arrangement on the bow main deck, but lacks specific details. In reality, installing wind deflectors brings a series of problems, such as obstructing the ship's sidelight visibility, how to effectively conduct mooring operations, how to observe anchors, and how to install Suez Canal lights, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an outfitting system and operation method for installing wind deflectors on ships, resolving the impact of wind deflector installation on system layout and improving operational safety.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] An outfitting system for installing a windshield on a vessel, comprising:

[0006] Low-friction cable guide holes are made by attaching anti-abrasion cloth pads with adhesive to the cable guide holes embedded in the windshield, in order to reduce the wear of the cable during use.

[0007] The mooring operation platform is located above the cable guide hole, and adopts an angle steel frame. One end is connected to the platform of the wind shield structure, and the other end is supported on the main deck. The platform is made of steel plate or grating, and is accessed by an inclined ladder. The platform edge is equipped with railings.

[0008] The mooring winch control station is set on a platform on a certain layer of the windshield. Its control console is located on the side of the mooring winch control station near the midship edge of the ship. The observation hole of the mooring winch control station is set on the windshield on the side of the ship near the ship.

[0009] The monorail-type sidelight holder is located on the mooring winch control station, adjacent to the sidelight holder working hole. A track beam is set at the top, and the sidelight holder is connected to the track beam by a manual hoist. The track beam is equipped with a toothed track, which facilitates the movement of the manual hoist and can fix the manual hoist.

[0010] The anchor observation hole is located at the bottom of the windproof cover above the anchor platform and is used by the crew to observe the fit between the anchor and the anchor lip.

[0011] The Suez Canal Light protective cover is divided into two parts, upper and lower, which completely surround the entire Suez Canal Light. The lower part is a fixed part, and its height does not exceed the lower end of the light body. The upper part is a detachable part, which is connected to the lower part by bolts and nuts, and a lifting eye ring is set at the top. The Suez Canal Light is fixedly installed on the eagle plate at the bow of the ship, without the need for repeated hoisting and installation from the bosun's cabin.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a mooring access hole, which is set on a windproof structure above the cable guide hole, with a lateral opening size that covers the entire cable guide hole area.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an observation hole for the mooring winch control station, which is set on the windshield on the side near the ship's side, with an opening on the windshield structure adjacent to the mooring winch control station. Its lower end is 1m to 1.2m away from the platform, and its upper end is at least 2m away from the platform.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes the working hole for the sidelight mount, which has the same structural opening as the observation hole for the mooring winch control station, but the size of the opening is larger than that of the sidelight mount.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a viewing anchor hole cover, which is installed on the viewing anchor hole, adopts a hinged round steel grid type, and is locked with a wing nut.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes lighting holes for the Suez Canal lights, located at the very front of the windshield structure.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a hoisting device, fixed to the opposite side of the structural platform directly above the Suez Canal Light Protective Cover, and connected to the upper part of the Suez Canal Light Protective Cover, including a movable pulley and a hoisting wire rope.

[0018] A mooring operation method for a vessel with a windshield installed, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1, pass the return cable through the guide cable hole to the outside, then pass it through the mooring operation hole above the guide cable hole back to the inside, and connect it with the return cable end inside the hull to form a closed loop;

[0020] S2, connect one end of the casting cable to the mooring cable of the mooring winch, and the other end to the return cable;

[0021] S3, pull the return cable upward on the mooring platform so that one end of the drop cable reaches the platform position and the crew can get the drop cable. Then pull the drop cable upward so that the mooring cable extends out of the guide hole.

[0022] S4: The mooring line is thrown onto the dock using a cable-throwing tool. Dockworkers can then pull the mooring line to move the mooring line to the mooring point, thus completing the mooring operation.

[0023] A method for installing sidelight mounts on a vessel with a windshield, comprising the following steps:

[0024] S1, Under normal operating conditions of the ship, the small chain of the manual hoist is operated to move the sidelight mount outside the windshield to avoid the light being obstructed.

[0025] S2. When a ship needs to pass through the canal lock, the small chain of the manual hoist is used to move the sidelamp holder into the windshield to prevent it from bumping against the lock facilities due to protruding from the hull and causing damage to the holder.

[0026] A method for operating Suez Canal lights on vessels with windshields, comprising the following steps:

[0027] S1, When a ship needs to pass through the canal, remove the bolts and nuts between the upper and lower ends of the Suez Canal light cover;

[0028] S2, the crew pulls the hoisting wire ropes up and down the main deck to raise the top of the protective cover to the top, and then fixes the wire ropes to the main deck to keep the top of the protective cover above the light;

[0029] S3, when no lights are needed while crossing the canal, lower the upper part of the protective cover and then connect and secure it to the lower part. The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0030] 1. This invention solves the technical problems of obstructed visibility of ship sidelights due to the installation of windshields, which fails to meet regulatory requirements, difficulties in mooring operations, difficulties in anchor observation, and difficulties in installing Suez Canal lights through reasonable layout.

[0031] 2. Currently used anti-wear pads significantly reduce the working diameter inside the cable guide hole, failing to meet the requirements of some canal authorities. This invention proposes an anti-wear cloth pad that has almost no impact on the working diameter inside the cable guide hole and has broad application prospects.

[0032] 3. The monorail-type porthole light mount is simple to operate and has a low cost.

[0033] 4. Fixed installation of Suez Canal lights avoids repeated installation work and greatly saves manpower; low-cost protective covers are set up to prevent the lights from being damaged by waves during ship navigation, and the movable parts of the protective covers are made of lightweight materials, making it convenient for crew members to operate.
