The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein means and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0034] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0035] This invention provides a method for laying out the inner hull plate of a membrane-type LNG carrier liquid dome section, specifically including the following steps:

[0036] S1, Draw the initial inner shell plate in CAD drawing software.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, first, check the positioning information of all openings on the inner shell plate, and draw the initial outline of the inner shell plate 1 in CAD drawing software based on the actual length and width dimensions of the inner shell plate which is welded together using two stainless steel plates (first stainless steel plate 1 and second stainless steel plate 2).

[0038] Then, draw the hull centerline 5 and the rib inspection line 6 on the inner shell plate;

[0039] Then, based on the theoretical opening positions and dimensions of each opening, draw the corresponding positions of each hole on the inner shell plate 1 (including the positions of pipe hole 3 and bolt hole 4).

[0040] The pipe hole 3 drawn on the inner shell plate 1 is represented by a broken line to distinguish it from the cutting line drawn on the plate before the actual cutting.

[0041] S2, collects actual opening data of the inner deck of the liquid dome.

[0042] S3, based on the actual opening data of the inner deck of the liquid dome, use the CAD plotting function to plot points on the initial inner shell plate drawn in step S1, and correct the boundary of the inner shell plate, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0043] Then, using the CAD offset function, the boundary of the inner shell plate after correction is offset from the outside to the inside by the distance of the bevel gap, and rounded corners are drawn at its four corners to obtain the actual outline of the inner shell plate, as shown in Figure 2.

[0044] S4, Based on the actual opening data of the inner deck of the liquid dome, obtain the liquid dome opening position deviation table, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the initial positions of all the openings drawn on the inner shell plate are corrected according to the liquid dome opening position deviation table.

[0045] The liquid dome opening position deviation table includes the deviation value X from the pump tower base center 8 to the rib inspection line 6, and the deviation value Y from the pump tower base center 8 to the hull centerline 5.

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, for example, the theoretical value X from the pump tower base center 8 to the rib inspection line 6 should be 857mm, but the actual value X is 847mm. The theoretical value Y from the pump tower base center 8 to the hull centerline 5 is 1250mm, but the actual value Y is 1262mm. Therefore, the pump tower base center 8 deviates 10mm to the right in the X direction and 12mm upward in the Y direction compared to its theoretical position. Therefore, all openings on the inner shell plate need to be deviated 10mm to the right in the X direction and 12mm upward in the Y direction according to the offset of the pump tower base center 8. That is, the relative positions of each opening to the pump tower base center 8 and the relative positions of the openings themselves remain unchanged; only the positions of each opening are translated accordingly based on the offset of the pump tower base center 8. Figure 4 As shown.

[0047] S5, lay out the welding bevel for the pipe holes that need to be welded on the inner shell plate.

[0048] For welding bevel layout of pipe holes on the inner shell plate, it means marking on the CAD drawing the bevel angle required for welding and fixing to the corresponding pipeline (e.g., ...). Figure 5 The reference number 7 indicates the "45-degree reverse, leave 12.5" mark on the pipe hole.

[0049] The CAD drawing of the inner shell plate can be obtained by the above steps S1-S5.

[0050] S6, such as Figure 5 As shown, based on the CAD drawing of the inner shell plate, the layout software generates scribing and cutting instructions to scribing and cutting the actual inner shell plate. The starting point of the scribing and cutting instructions is the same position.

[0051] When scribing and cutting the actual inner shell plate, first scribing the opening lines on the actual inner shell plate (the opening lines on the actual inner shell plate are represented by solid lines), and then manually verifying the accuracy of the scribing before proceeding with the formal cutting.

[0052] The generated scribing instructions include cutting lines for the outer contour of the inner shell plate, scribing lines for the positions of various openings, and scribing lines for the positions of bolt holes.

[0053] The generated cutting instructions include the outer contour dimensions of the inner shell plate and the diameter of each opening.

[0054] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
