[0002] Based on the transportation needs of LNG, LCO2, etc., C-type independent tanks have been widely used in actual ship engineering. The independent tank is connected to the hull structure through a supporting saddle, which is used to transfer the tank and liquid cargo load during normal operation of the ship to the hull structure; at the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the hull structure under accidental water inflow conditions, an anti-floating device is installed on the top of the tank to transfer the buoyancy of the tank to the hull structure. In current engineering applications, the tank saddle and the anti-floating device are designed separately, so it is necessary to design the hull support structure corresponding to the saddle and the anti-floating device.
[0003] At present, the commonly used anti-floating devices are all complex split-type welded structures with large welding volume and complex construction. For C-type tank LCO2 transport ships, due to the high density and pressure of LCO2, the diameter of the independent storage tank is usually limited; at the same time, in order to ensure the ship's load capacity and overall performance, the main scale of the structure is usually large, leaving a large gap between the independent storage tank and the hull structure. At this time, if the saddle and anti-floating device design method commonly used in engineering is adopted, the matching saddle and anti-floating device related structural parts will be very large, resulting in serious structural waste and increasing the complexity of the hull structure construction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figure 1 A C-type independent storage tank saddle with an anti-floating component is shown, and the C-type independent storage tank is placed on the saddle. The saddle of the C-type independent storage tank near the bow end is a movable saddle, and the saddle near the stern end is a fixed saddle.
[0032] Both the movable saddle and the fixed saddle are composed of a supporting structure, laminated wood and anti-floating components. The anti-floating components are located on both sides of the laminated wood, such as Figure 2 As shown, the supporting structure of the fixed saddle includes an arc-shaped reinforcement pad, a transition flange and a web. The curvature of the reinforcement pad matches the curvature of the surface of the C-type tank. The reinforcement pad is concentric with the C-type tank and fits the surface of the C-type tank. The transition flange is continuously arranged below the reinforcement pad along the length direction of the reinforcement pad. The transition flange includes a straight section in the middle and inclined sections on both sides. The shape of the straight section and the inclined section after connection fits the hull structure.
[0033] In this embodiment, the wrap angle α formed by the web end is 156°, thereby ensuring the load transfer and structural safety between the independent storage tank and the saddle during the voyage of the ship. The wrap angle γ formed by the distance between the end of the reinforcement pad and the end of the web is 3.5°, and the length A of the reinforcement pad within the γ range is 450mm, which can meet the load transfer requirements while reducing the layout range of the laminated wood.
[0034] like Figure 2As shown, laminated wood is arranged between the transition flange and the hull structure. The laminated wood is arranged along the entire length of the flange plate to transfer the tank load to the hull structure. The width of the laminated wood meets the pressure-bearing requirements of the independent tank to transfer the load, and at the same time, the insulation of the liquid cargo temperature is achieved. Limit baffles are fixed on both sides of the laminated wood. The laminated wood is bonded to the limit baffles and the transition flange. The limit baffles are continuously arranged from one end of the laminated wood to the other end. The limit baffles for fixing the saddle are divided into a first upper baffle and a first lower baffle. The top of the first upper baffle is fixed on the transition flange, and the bottom of the first lower baffle is fixed on the hull structure. There is a gap between the first upper baffle and the first lower baffle. The gap H between the first upper baffle and the first lower baffle is 50mm. The movement of the laminated wood along the length direction of the ship can be limited by the first upper baffle and the first lower baffle, thereby limiting the movement of the C-type tank along the length direction of the ship.
[0035] The width of the transition flange is greater than the width of the laminated wood and the reinforced pad. A web is fixed between the reinforced pad and the transition flange. Reinforced brackets are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the web. The reinforced brackets are right-angled trapezoids. The right-angled sides of the reinforced brackets are welded to the web. The brackets are used to reinforce the web to meet the load transfer requirements. In this embodiment, the laminated wood width B1 is 300mm, the reinforced bracket length L1 is 500mm, the bracket length L2 is 280mm, the angle β between the free edge of the bracket and the transition flange is 67°, and the distance D2 between the edge of the bracket and the edge of the transition flange is 25mm.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the supporting structure of the movable saddle is the same as that of the fixed saddle. The laminated wood of the movable saddle is divided into an upper laminated wood and a lower laminated wood. The upper laminated wood is located on one side of the lower laminated wood. A stainless steel plate is placed between the upper laminated wood and the lower laminated wood. The stainless steel plate is fixed to the lower laminated wood by bonding and rivets. The upper laminated wood can slide along the stainless steel plate. The distance between each boundary of the stainless steel plate and the outer boundary of the lower laminated wood is 25mm. The stainless steel plate is used to reduce the friction resistance at the interface of the laminated wood, so as to facilitate the telescopic movement of the tank body along the length direction under temperature load. A second upper baffle is fixed on both sides of the upper laminated wood, and a second lower baffle is fixed on both sides of the lower laminated wood. The width of the transition flange is greater than the width of the upper laminated wood, the lower laminated wood and the reinforcing pad.
[0037] The width of the laminated wood of the fixed saddle is the same as that of the upper laminated wood of the movable saddle, which is 300 mm. In this embodiment, the shrinkage amount △L of the upper laminated wood along the lower laminated wood in the ship length direction obtained by temperature field analysis is 30 mm. Under normal temperature conditions, the distance D3 from the edge of the upper laminated wood to the edge of the lower laminated wood is 50 mm, and D4 is 20 mm, which can meet the telescopic movement requirements of the tank body along the ship length direction under temperature load.
[0038] like Figure 4As shown, the movable saddle and the fixed saddle are each provided with two pairs of anti-floating components, and the two pairs of anti-floating components are symmetrically arranged at 2 / 5 of the tank body diameter from the center line of the tank body. Figure 4 As shown, the anti-floating component includes an anti-floating frame and a steel groove. The steel groove is fixed on the edge of the upper surface of the transition flange. An anti-floating wooden block is placed in the steel groove. The anti-floating frame is arranged vertically. The bottom of the anti-floating frame is fixed on the hull structure. A pressure plate is protruded from the top and pressed on the anti-floating wooden block. In this embodiment, the distance between the steel groove and the edge of the transition flange is 25mm, the distance between the top of the anti-floating wooden block and the lower boundary of the top pressure plate is 10mm, the distance between the fixed saddle end anti-floating frame and the transition flange boundary is 50mm, and the distance between the movable saddle end anti-floating frame and the transition flange boundary is 80mm. Under the condition of ship flooding, the independent storage tank has a tendency to move upward under the action of buoyancy. The storage tank drives the transition flange to move upward through the saddle support structure, thereby driving the anti-floating wooden block to move upward. The anti-floating frame contacts the anti-floating wooden block to balance the buoyancy of the storage tank.
[0039] The width of the top pressure plate of the anti-floating frame is greater than the width of the anti-floating wood block, and the distance between the top pressure plate of the movable saddle and the boundary D5 of the anti-floating wood block in the ship length direction is not less than 2△L. In this embodiment, the distance between the top pressure plate of the anti-floating frame at the fixed saddle end and the boundary of the anti-floating wood block is 50mm, and the distance between the top pressure plate of the movable saddle end and the boundary of the anti-floating wood block is 100mm, which meets the requirements of the telescopic movement of the tank body along the ship length direction under temperature load.
[0040] The present invention provides an independent tank saddle with anti-floating function, which eliminates separately arranged anti-floating devices and hull reinforcement structures, balances the buoyancy of the tank under accidental water inflow conditions on the basis of satisfying the support for the tank body and liquid cargo load, optimizes the structural stress, and reduces the structural weight; the present invention designs the connection interface between the tank and the hull into a plane form, improves the integration of the tank, reduces the construction difficulty, and shortens the construction period; the integrated tank saddle provided by the present invention eliminates the temporary saddle in the tank construction stage, and improves the economy.
