Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a general layout design of a ship, in particular to a ship with a distributed superstructure. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the global economy and the construction of infrastructure worldwide, the market for special cargo transportation has broad prospects and is becoming increasingly important in the shipping market. When large engineering parts, project cargo, and general cargo are stowed on the ship deck, it is easy to block or affect the view of the ship's driving cab, endangering the lives of seafarers and affecting the smooth development of shipping trade.
[0003] To ensure the safety of ship navigation, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, Chapter 5, Navigation Safety, Article 22, Visibility of the Bridge, has clear requirements for the visibility of the ship's bridge. Currently, for ships carrying large machinery, wind power equipment and other deck cargo, excessive cargo loading may affect the visibility of the bridge. At present, the ship's competent authority often exempts the ship's line of sight to waive this requirement, but the hidden dangers to navigation safety still exist.
[0004] At present, there are two common layout schemes for ship's wheelhouse and crew living area:
[0005] The first option, see Figure 1 The ship's wheelhouse 1 and crew living quarters 2 are arranged together at the stern of the ship, which can be called "stern-mounted construction".
[0006] Typical stern-mounted ships are: Figure 1 As shown, the ship's wheelhouse 1 and crew living quarters 2 are arranged near the stern of the ship, and the deck cargo is stowed in the cargo hold area, that is, in front of the wheelhouse 1. Therefore, when transporting extra-high cargo or stacking higher cargo for the sake of transportation efficiency, the length of the blind area of the ship's driving will be increased, even exceeding the minimum line of sight requirement, thus affecting the navigation safety of the ship.
[0007] For the second option, see Figure 2 The ship's wheelhouse 1 and crew living quarters 2 are arranged together at the bow of the ship, which can be called the "bow building".
[0008] Typical foreshore ships are: Figure 2 As shown, the ship's wheelhouse 1 and crew living quarters 2 are arranged near the bow of the ship, and the deck cargo is stowed in the cargo hold area, that is, behind the wheelhouse 1. Therefore, when transporting extra-high cargo or stacking higher cargo for the sake of transport efficiency, the length of the blind area for ship driving will not be affected. However, the bow-top layout has the following disadvantages:
[0009] 1) The ship's heaving and yaw movements are quite intense, making the crew's work and life uncomfortable;
[0010] 2) The engine room is located at the stern, and the working and resting places of the crew members of the engine department are far away. It is dangerous to walk at the front and rear of the ship in severe sea conditions;
[0011] 3) Auxiliary machinery is arranged at the stern, and cables, piping, ventilation, etc. may need to be arranged from the stern to the bow, increasing the cost of ship construction.
[0012] In summary, the current layout schemes of the ship's wheelhouse and crew living quarters, whether built on the stern or on the bow, have certain defects, which are not conducive to efficient navigation operations of the ship. Summary of the invention
[0013] The object of the present invention is to provide a ship with a distributed superstructure, which not only has a good driving sight, but also can ensure the work and rest of the crew.
[0014] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0015] A ship with a distributed superstructure is provided. The ship is provided with a driving cabin and a crew living area. The driving cabin is arranged at the bow of the ship, and the crew living area is arranged at the stern of the ship.
[0016] Furthermore, the driving cab is arranged above the mooring area at the bow; the driving cab is arranged by means of column support, and the driving cab is connected to the hull structure by welding.
[0017] Furthermore, the cab is provided with a driving console and is equipped with a host remote control system, a steering gear remote control system, an indication system, a communication system, a ventilation system and a fire protection system.
[0018] Furthermore, the crew living area is connected to the hull structure by welding; the crew living area is arranged with crew rooms, crew offices, kitchen and dining room, laundry room, drying room and entertainment room.
[0019] Furthermore, the ship is also provided with a co-pilot's cabin, which is arranged at the stern together with the crew living area.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the ship of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] The wheelhouse is set in the bow area of the ship, and the crew living area is set in the stern area of the ship. This not only allows the wheelhouse to have a better driving vision and meet relevant navigation safety requirements, but also allows the crew to live in a relatively stable environment, thereby ensuring the crew's daily work and rest. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0022] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the prior art in which the ship's wheelhouse and crew living quarters are arranged together at the stern of the ship;
[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the prior art in which the ship's wheelhouse and crew living quarters are arranged together at the bow of the ship;
[0024] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of the wheelhouse and crew living quarters on a ship with a distributed superstructure according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with specific embodiments:
[0026] See also Figure 3 This embodiment provides a ship with a distributed superstructure. The ship is provided with a driving room 1 and a crew living area 2 like the existing ships.
[0027] The ship of this embodiment is different from the existing ships in that, on this ship, the driving room 1 and the crew living area 2 are arranged separately.
[0028] Specifically,
[0029] The cab 1 is arranged at the bow area of the ship, and the cab 1 can have a good driving sight, which meets the relevant navigation safety requirements.
[0030] 1) Fundamentally solve the contradiction between ship stowage and cab vision;
[0031] 2) The cargo stowage height is not limited by the blind spot of the cab, which improves cargo carrying efficiency and enhances the profitability of the ship;
[0032] 3) Ensure a good visual range for the ship and reduce the length of the blind spot in the cab, which is beneficial to the safety of the ship's navigation.
[0033] More specifically,
[0034] The driving cab 1 is arranged on the mooring area at the bow, and the driving cab 1 is arranged by means of column support, and the driving cab 1 is connected to the hull structure by welding, so as to be fixed.
[0035] The cab 1 is provided with a driving console and is equipped with a main engine remote control system, a steering gear remote control system, an indication system, a communication system, a ventilation system, and a fire-fighting system, meeting the requirements of Article 22 of Chapter 5 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea for the driving position.
[0036] The crew living area 2 is arranged at the stern area of the ship.
[0037] 1) The living environment of the crew is relatively stable, thus avoiding the situation where "the heave and yaw of the ship cause the crew to work and live uncomfortably";
[0038] 2) The work place of the crew members in the engine department is close to the rest area, thus avoiding the dangerous situation of "walking at the front and rear of the ship in severe sea conditions";
[0039] 3) Auxiliary machinery is arranged at the stern, and cables, piping, ventilation, etc. do not need to be arranged from the stern to the bow, thereby reducing the cost of ship construction.
[0040] The crew living area 2 is connected to the hull structure by welding to achieve fixation.
[0041] The crew living area 2 is arranged with crew rooms, crew offices, kitchen and dining room, laundry and drying room, entertainment room and other supporting rooms and facilities.
[0042] It should be noted that in other embodiments, another driving cabin can be provided as a co-driving cabin, which is provided together with the crew living area 2 at the stern area, while the driving cabin 1 provided at the bow area is used as the main driving cabin. The co-driving cabin exists as a backup for the main driving cabin. When the ship is loaded with super-high cargo and the stern view is affected, the main driving cabin is used for driving; when the ship is ballast sailing or loaded with bulk cargo, the co-driving cabin is used for driving.
[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
