Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent control of oil-fired and chemical dual-purpose ships, and specifically relates to an intelligent control system for oil-fired and chemical dual-purpose ships. Background Art

[0002] In simple terms, a dual-purpose oil and chemical ship is a ship designed to transport both oil and chemicals during construction. The structure and equipment of this type of ship need to meet the different requirements for transporting oil and chemicals to ensure safety and efficiency during transportation. Dual-purpose oil and chemical ships involve the transportation of oil and chemicals, which are often flammable, explosive, toxic, etc., so special attention needs to be paid to safety during transportation.

[0003] Oil and chemicals are sensitive to temperature. Too high or too low a temperature may cause changes in the properties of the cargo, such as accelerated volatilization, expansion, solidification or chemical reactions, thereby increasing the risk of leakage, explosion or fire. During the voyage of a ship, the pressure in the cargo hold will change due to factors such as changes in the temperature of the cargo hold, the volatilization and expansion of the cargo. Too high a pressure may cause damage or leakage to the cargo hold structure, while too low a pressure may affect the stability of the cargo. Too high a liquid level may cause the cargo to overflow, causing environmental pollution and potential safety hazards to the ship; while too low a liquid level may affect the stability of the cargo and transportation efficiency. Moreover, when sailing at sea, oil and chemical dual-purpose ships will encounter various complex environmental conditions, such as bad weather, changing sea conditions, narrow waterways, etc. These conditions may aggravate the dangers of the above problems to the safety of ship navigation.

[0004] To this end, we propose an intelligent control system for dual-purpose oil and chemical vessels. Summary of the invention

If it is found that the temperature alarm value is set incorrectly or the temperature control system fails, the onboard maintenance personnel will be contacted through the communication equipment for timely adjustment or maintenance to ensure that the temperature is controlled within a safe range; The pressure warning processing module is used to check whether the pressure sensor, pressure gauge, safety valve and other equipment are operating normally, confirm whether there is leakage or blockage, and contact the maintenance personnel on board through the communication equipment to take corresponding measures according to the alarm cause, such as stopping operation, reducing load, emptying the container, repairing or replacing faulty parts; The liquid level warning processing module is used to check whether there is too much liquid in the container and needs to be emptied first, and to check whether the equipment has leakage or damage. After determining the cause, the onboard maintenance personnel will be contacted through the communication equipment to immediately stop adding liquid and close the feed valve to avoid the liquid level exceeding the container volume.
