Bulkhead structure and ship

Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of marine technology and discloses a bulwark structure and a ship. The bulwark structure is connected to the deck body and includes a bulwark body and an air pipe. The bulwark body is connected to the deck body and encloses the deck body to form a first compartment. The air pipe includes a pipe body and a pipe head. The pipe body is located in the first compartment, and the pipe head is located above the first compartment. Thus, placing the pipe body in the first compartment saves space above the deck body, improves the utilization rate of the deck body, and reduces design and layout costs. At the same time, the first compartment also protects the pipe body, preventing it from being exposed to the outside of the deck body and suffering damage from impacts. While ensuring air communication and pressure balance between the inside and outside of the compartment, it also improves the safety performance of the pipe body and extends its service life.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine technology, and more particularly to a bulwark structure and a ship. Background Technology

[0002] A ship is a means of transportation used for water transport, capable of navigating in waters such as oceans, rivers, and lakes.

[0003] A ship consists of a hull and a deck. The deck is located above the hull. The hull includes the gunwale and the bottom plating. The gunwale connects to both the bottom plating and the deck, forming the sides of the ship. Inside the ship are cabins, which typically contain air pipes to balance the air pressure inside and outside the cabin.

[0004] However, air ducts installed above the deck occupy a lot of space above the deck. Air ducts exposed above the deck are easily damaged and corroded, which affects the service life of the air ducts. In order to meet actual needs, both the deck and the air ducts need to be designed in terms of appearance and structure, which results in high design and layout costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bulwark structure and a ship to solve the problems of large space occupation and short service life of air pipes arranged above the deck.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On one hand, a bulwark structure is connected to a deck body, the bulwark structure comprising: a bulwark body, the bulwark body being connected to the deck body and enclosing the deck body to form a first compartment; and an air pipe, the air pipe comprising a pipe body and a pipe head, the pipe body being disposed within the first compartment and the pipe head being disposed above the first compartment.

[0008] Preferably, the tube extends along the length of the first compartment.

[0009] Preferably, the exhaust direction of the pipe head is set at an angle to the exhaust direction of the pipe body.

[0010] Preferably, the connection between the pipe body and the pipe head is located above the first compartment.

[0011] Preferably, the pipe head is provided with louvers on the side near the bulkhead body.

[0012] Preferably, the bulwark body is connected to a limiting plate, and the tube passes through the limiting plate and is connected to the limiting plate.

[0013] On the other hand, a vessel includes a deck body and a bulwark structure as described above, the deck body including a first deck and a second deck, the bulwark body being connected to the second deck and enclosing the second deck to form a first compartment, the first deck being disposed on the side of the second deck opposite to the first compartment, and the pipe head being disposed between the first deck and the second deck.

[0014] Preferably, the first deck and the second deck enclose a second compartment, the second compartment being positioned toward the bulkhead body, and the pipe head being disposed inside the second compartment.

[0015] Preferably, a ventilation opening is provided between the first deck and the second deck, the ventilation opening is connected to the second compartment, and the ventilation opening is provided with louvers.

[0016] Preferably, the length of the second compartment is less than the length of the first compartment.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0018] A bulwark structure is connected to the deck body. The bulwark structure includes a bulwark body and an air pipe. The bulwark body is connected to the deck body and encloses the deck body to form a first compartment. The air pipe includes a pipe body and a pipe head. The pipe body is located inside the first compartment, and the pipe head is located above the first compartment.

[0019] Thus, by placing the tube in the first compartment located below the main deck, it is possible to avoid occupying the space above the main deck, improve the utilization rate of the main deck and save design and layout costs, and avoid damage such as collisions when the tube is exposed above the main deck. The first compartment can protect the tube and improve the safety of the tube while ensuring air communication between the inside and outside of the compartment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0024] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0026] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0027] See Figure 1 The present invention provides a bulwark structure connected to the deck body 4. The bulwark structure includes a bulwark body 1 and an air pipe 3. The bulwark body 1 is connected to the deck body 4 and forms a first compartment 2 with the deck body 4. The air pipe 3 includes a pipe body 31 and a pipe head 32. The pipe body 31 is disposed in the first compartment 2 and the pipe head 32 is disposed above the first compartment 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bulwark body 1 includes a first plate 11, a second plate 12, and two side plates (not shown in the figure). The first plate 11 is vertically arranged, and the second plate 12 extends downward at an angle toward the interior of the ship. The first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are fixedly connected on their adjacent sides. Each side plate is connected to the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 to enclose and form a first compartment 2. The pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 are connected by a flange, and the pipe body 31 communicates with the outside through the pipe head 32.

[0029] Thus, by placing the pipe body 31 below the deck body 4, space above the deck body 4 can be saved, the utilization rate of the deck body 4 can be improved, and design and layout costs can be saved. The pipe body 31 can be prevented from colliding with other equipment or cargo when it is exposed above the deck body 4. The first compartment 2 can protect the pipe body 31, making it less susceptible to damage. While ensuring air communication between the inside and outside of the compartment, the safety of the pipe body 31 is improved.

[0030] It is understandable that the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 can be fixedly connected or integrally formed. The connection method between the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and will not be listed in detail here.

[0031] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the pipe body 31 extends along the length of the first compartment 2. The pipe body 31 includes a vertical section 311, an inclined section 312, and a horizontal section 313 that are interconnected. One end of the vertical section 311 is connected to the input end of the pipe head 32 via a flange, and the other end is connected to the inclined section 312. The end of the inclined section 312 opposite to the vertical section 311 is connected to the horizontal section 313 and extends downward. The length direction of the horizontal section 313 is horizontal, that is, the length direction of the first compartment 2 is horizontal.

[0032] In this way, the space occupied by the tube body 31 in the vertical direction of the first compartment 2 can be saved, the horizontal space of the first compartment 2 can be effectively utilized, the design and layout costs can be saved, and it is convenient for staff to load, unload and maintain the tube body 31, avoid collisions between the tube body 31 and other structures in the first compartment 2, and extend the service life of the tube body 31.

[0033] It is understandable that the shape of the tube 31 can be flexibly adjusted to achieve air pressure balance inside and outside the cabin and ensure air circulation inside the cabin, which will not be elaborated here.

[0034] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the exhaust direction of the output end of the tube head 32 is set at an angle to the exhaust direction of the output end of the tube body 31. In this embodiment, the exhaust direction of the output end of the tube head 32 is horizontal, and the exhaust direction of the vertical section 311 of the tube body 31 (that is, the output end of the tube body 31) is vertical.

[0035] In this way, the horizontally venting pipe head 32 can better prevent rainwater, waves or other debris from splashing into the pipe body 31, avoid water accumulation in the cabin, improve the safety of the system and increase ventilation efficiency while allowing air circulation in the cabin; and since the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 are connected by a flange, the exhaust direction can be adjusted by replacing different pipe heads 32 without moving the pipe body 31, thus improving the flexibility of the system.

[0036] It is understandable that the exhaust direction of the pipe head 32 and the exhaust direction of the pipe body 31 can also be set at an acute or obtuse angle. The specific angle can be designed according to the shape of the first compartment 2, which will not be listed in detail here.

[0037] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the connection between the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 is located above the first compartment 2.

[0038] In this way, when the pipe head 32 needs to be maintained or replaced, it can be easily removed from the flange connection without affecting the pipe body 31 located in the first compartment 2, thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the air pipe 3. Furthermore, rainwater and seawater entering the first compartment 2 from the outside are less likely to directly enter the pipe head 32, thereby improving the safety performance of the air pipe 3.

[0039] It is understandable that the connection between the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 can also be located inside the first compartment 2, and is not limited to the top of the first compartment 2. The location of the connection between the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0040] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, a louver 321 is provided on the side of the pipe head 32 near the bulkhead body 1. The relative position of the louver 321 and the pipe head 32 is fixed. The louver 321 is located above the first compartment 2 and is coaxial with the pipe head 32.

[0041] Thus, closing the louvers 321 can further prevent seawater or rainwater from flowing back into the compartment, while also blocking some solid impurities from entering the tube body 31 through the pipe head 32. Under normal weather conditions, keeping the louvers 321 open allows for free air circulation, ensuring air quality and pressure balance inside the compartment. At the same time, loading, unloading, and maintaining the pipe head 32 and louvers 321 above the first compartment 2 can reduce interference with the tube body 31 located inside the first compartment 2, which is beneficial for maintaining the tube body 31, pipe head 32, and louvers 321 separately, and improves the flexibility of the chord wall structure.

[0042] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the bulkhead body 1 is connected to a limiting plate 13, and the tube 31 passes through the limiting plate 13 and is connected to the limiting plate 13. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 13 is vertically disposed inside the first compartment 2 and is fixedly connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the first compartment 2 respectively. The limiting plate 13 has a hole (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the position of the horizontal section 313 of the tube 31, and the horizontal section 313 of the tube 31 passes through the hole and is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 13.

[0043] In this way, the limiting plate 13 can restrict the relative position of the horizontal section 313 of the tube body 31 and the first compartment 2, making the connection between the tube body 31 and the first compartment 2 more stable, and preventing the tube body 31 from colliding with the inner wall of the first compartment 2 when the hull sways, thus affecting the normal use of the tube body 31. It can not only effectively utilize the space in the first compartment 2, but also improve the safety performance of the tube body 31.

[0044] It is understandable that the limiting plate 13 can also be detachably connected to the inner wall of the first compartment 2 by means of bolts, or a pipe rack can be set in the first compartment 2 so that the pipe 31 can be limited by passing through the pipe rack. The specific limiting method of the pipe 31 is sufficient to limit the position of the pipe 31, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] See Figure 1 The present invention also provides a ship, including a deck body 4 and a bulwark structure. The deck body 4 includes a first deck 41 and a second deck 42. The bulwark body 1 is connected to the second deck 42 and surrounds the second deck 42 to form a first compartment 2. The first deck 41 is located on the side of the second deck 42 away from the first compartment 2. The pipe head 32 is located between the first deck 41 and the second deck 42.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first deck 41 and the second deck 42 are both horizontally arranged, and the first plate 11 of the bulwark body 1 is fixedly connected to the second deck 42, so that the second deck 42, the first plate 11, the second plate 12 and the side plate enclose the first compartment 2.

[0047] In this way, the first deck 41 and the second deck 42 can improve the overall strength of the ship. By placing the first compartment 2 below the second deck 42, the space below the ship can be fully utilized. The pipe head 32 is placed between the first deck 41 and the second deck 42, thus concealing the air pipe 3. This not only saves design and layout costs, but also ensures good ventilation inside and outside the compartment.

[0048] It is understandable that the pipe head 32 can also be set above the first deck 41. In this embodiment, the pipe head 32 is set between the first deck 41 and the second deck 42. The purpose is to make the air pipe 3 completely located below the first deck 41, thereby saving space above the first deck 41 and protecting the air pipe 3, and extending the service life of the air pipe 3.

[0049] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first deck 41 and the second deck 42 enclose a second compartment 5, which faces the bulkhead body 1, and the pipe head 32 is disposed inside the second compartment 5. A vertically arranged mounting plate 421 and a baffle 422 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the second deck 42. The side of the mounting plate 421 facing away from the second deck 42 and the side of the baffle 422 facing away from the second deck 42 are both fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the first deck 41. The first deck 41, the second deck 42, the mounting plate 421, and the baffle 422 enclose the second compartment 5, which communicates with the outside of the ship.

[0050] Thus, by placing the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 in the first compartment 2 and the second compartment 5 respectively, it is convenient to maintain the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 separately, and it is also convenient to limit the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 separately, reducing design and layout costs. This allows outside air to exchange with the air inside the ship, achieving the effect of balancing pressure and circulating air. At the same time, if seawater enters the second compartment 5 from the outside, since the connection between the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 and the pipe head 32 are both higher than the bottom surface of the second compartment 5, the second compartment 5 can hold a certain amount of seawater, making it difficult for seawater to enter the pipe body 31 and the interior of the first compartment 2 through the pipe head 32.

[0051] It is understandable that the side of the first compartment 2 closest to the outside and the side of the second compartment 5 closest to the outside can be set flush or staggered. In this embodiment, the side of the first compartment 2 closest to the outside and the side of the second compartment 5 closest to the outside are set flush to make the outer wall of the ship flatter and to make reasonable use of the internal space of the ship.

[0052] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, a ventilation opening (not shown in the figure) is provided between the first deck 41 and the second deck 42, the ventilation opening is connected to the second compartment 5, and a louver 321 is provided on the ventilation opening.

[0053] In this embodiment, the ventilation opening is located on the mounting plate 421, and the shape of the ventilation opening is adapted to the shape of the louver 321.

[0054] In this way, outside air enters the pipe head 32 and pipe body 31 through the louvers 321 set at the ventilation opening, realizing air circulation between the inside and outside of the cabin. At the same time, it is convenient for staff to maintain the louvers 321 and the pipe head 32 located in the second compartment 5 through the ventilation opening.

[0055] Understandably, the louver 321 can also be detachably connected to the mounting plate 421 via bolts or other structures to facilitate maintenance and installation by staff. The specific installation position and method of the louver 321 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0056] Furthermore, an inspection door may also be provided on the bulwark body 1 to facilitate maintenance of the tube 31 inside the first compartment 2 by the staff.

[0057] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the length of the second compartment 5 is less than the length of the first compartment 2. The baffle 422 is positioned above the inclined section 312.

[0058] Thus, since the space occupied by the pipe head 32 is smaller than that occupied by the pipe body 31, the length of the second compartment 5 is adapted to the space occupied by the pipe head 32, and the length of the first compartment 2 is adapted to the space occupied by the pipe body 31. This effectively utilizes the space between the first deck 41 and the second deck 42, as well as the space inside the bulwark body 1, thereby saving space above the first deck 41, reducing design and layout costs, and protecting the pipe body 31 and the pipe head 32 in the first compartment 2 and the second compartment 5 respectively, thus extending the service life of the air pipe 3.

[0059] It is understandable that the length of the second compartment 5 can be greater than or equal to the length of the first compartment 2. It can be adjusted according to the actual design needs of the ship, as long as it can realize the separate placement of the tube body 31 and the tube head 32 and the fixed limit of the louver 321. Not much will be listed here.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
