In addition, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the marine methanol filling station 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is arranged on one side of the conventional fuel filling station 200, the conventional fuel filling station 200 includes a rotating crane 201, the methanol filling station 100 and the conventional fuel filling station 200 are both installed on the deck 300 of the container ship, and the marine methanol filling station 100 includes a base 1, a plurality of pillars 2, a protective cover 3, a filling pipeline 4, a railing 5 and a support frame 6. Among them, conventional fuel refers to diesel or heavy fuel oil. The above-mentioned arrangement enables the methanol filling station 100 and the conventional fuel filling station 200 to share the rotating crane 201, which can save space.

[0031] The base 1 is installed on the deck 300. The base enables the marine methanol filling station 100 to be installed and used as a whole, keeping the structure compact. In addition, each device is installed on the base 1, and the base 1 can protect the deck 300.

[0032] The bottoms of the plurality of pillars 2 are all mounted on the base 1. The pillars 2 are used to support the protective cover 3.

[0033] The protection cover 3 is installed on the top of the support 2, and a receiving space is formed between the protection cover 3 and the base 1. The protection cover 3 can protect the equipment installed in the receiving space.

[0034] The filling pipeline 4 is arranged in the accommodation space, and the filling pipeline 4 has a filling joint 41. The filling pipeline 4 can be filled with methanol through the filling joint 41.

[0035] The handrail 5 is installed on the base 1, and the handrail 5 and the pillar are arranged at intervals to form an operating space. The handrail 5 has a protective effect on the operator, and the formed operating space allows the operator to have space to operate, ensuring convenient operation.

[0036] The support frame 6 is detachably mounted on the base 1 and is located in the operating space. The support frame 6 is used to support the filling hose, which is connected to the filling connector 41. The rotating crane 201 is configured to lift the filling hose and adjust its position.

[0037] When the methanol filling station 100 is in operation, the filling connector 41 is connected to an external filling hose, and the methanol in the filling hose is input into the hull through the filling pipeline 4 for storage.

[0038] Based on the above-mentioned structural setting, a accommodating space is formed between the protective cover 3 and the base 1, and the filling pipeline 4 is arranged in the accommodating space. The filling pipeline 4 has a filling connector 41, so that the overall structure of the methanol filling station 100 is compact and occupies a small space; the railing 5 is installed on the base 1, and the railing 5 and the pillar are spaced apart to form an operating space, and the operating space makes the operation convenient.

The foam pipeline 81 is installed on the lower surface of the protective cover 3. When a fire occurs, the low melting point alloy in the fusible plug 83 melts, so that the foam pipeline 81 is opened, and the fire extinguishing foam is sprayed from the nozzle 82 to extinguish the fire.

[0042] In some embodiments, two groups of filling pipelines 4 are provided, and the two groups of filling pipelines 4 are used to transport gaseous methanol and liquid methanol respectively, so as to meet the filling of gaseous methanol or liquid methanol.

[0043] In some embodiments, a chain 51 is installed on the upper part of the railing 5, and the chain 51 is used to support the filling hose. The chain 51 can support the hose to keep the filling process smooth.

[0044] In some embodiments, the methanol filling station 100 further includes valves and instruments, which are installed on the filling pipeline 4. The valve can control the flow of methanol in the filling pipeline 4, and the instrument can observe the flow, temperature and other parameters in the filling pipeline 4.

[0045] In some embodiments, the methanol filling station 100 further includes a fixing plate 61, and the support frame 6 is mounted on the base 1 through the fixing plate 61. The support frame 6 can be disassembled on the fixing plate 61.
