Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering, and in particular to a method for repairing and machining an inner turret slip ring. Background Art
[0002] At present, the inner turret single-point mooring system is widely used in FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) projects due to its advantages such as wide adaptability to water depth and strong resistance to marine environment. The inner turret mooring system allows the FPSO to rotate around the inner turret to produce a weathervane effect, so that the bow of the FPSO always faces the direction with the smallest combined force of environmental loads. The mooring force provided by the inner turret can relatively fix the FPSO at the offshore oil field operation site; Since the FPSO hull is always subjected to the load of the marine environment, the hull load is transmitted to the inner turret through the bearing, wherein the vertical load is transmitted through the axial bearing, and the horizontal load is transmitted through the radial bearing. The slip ring is installed on the inner turret and is in direct contact with the bearing installed on the hull, so that it can rotate relatively and transmit the force of the bearing to the inner turret. The service life of FPSO is long, and the long-term impact and vibration of the environmental load may cause the wear of the slip ring, which in turn affects the mooring safety of FPSO. In order to ensure the relative rotation between the hull and the inner turret, the installation or repair accuracy of the slip ring is very high, and its outer ring generally needs to be machined to ensure the overall accuracy. The slip ring is located at the upper and lower ends of the inner turret, with a height difference of more than 30 meters. Conventional machining methods make it difficult to machine the upper and lower slip rings. In order to solve the above problems, a new slip ring repair and machining technology solution is needed. Summary of the invention
[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for repairing and machining an inner turret slip ring which can ensure the slip ring accuracy.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is: a method for repairing and machining an inner turret slip ring, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Design the lifting lugs according to the weight and center of gravity information of the inner turret, select the floating hook for lifting, install four lifting lugs on the upper part of the inner turret, and perform flaw detection; Step 2: Install four precision control cross reinforcements inside the inner turret, mark the center position, perform precision measurement, and record the precision data; Step 3: Perform preparatory work, clean the inner turret area, and remove the connection facilities between the inner turret and the floating production storage and offloading unit; Step 4: Place the inner turret support piers at the upper part and the lower part of the inner turret at the wharf, and measure the upper surface of the inner turret support piers accurately to ensure the horizontality; Step 5: Use the floating crane hook to load the inner turret crane out of the floating production storage and offloading unit, drop it onto the inner turret support pier of the wharf and fix it; Step 6: Cut the inner turret into two parts at the middle of the inner turret; Step 7: hoist the upper part of the inner turret onto the inner turret support pier placed on the dock and fix it; Step 8: Weld and repair the damaged areas of the upper and lower sliding rings; Step 9: Install a machining rotating platform, a machining arm, a stabilizing wheel, a slide rail, a precision measuring device, a balancing weight, a working platform, and a machining cutting device on the upper part of the inner turret; Step 10: Install a temporary support platform, a machining rotating platform, a machining arm, a stabilizing wheel, a slide rail, a precision measuring device, a balancing weight, a working platform, and a machining cutting device above the lower part of the inner turret; Step 11, simultaneously measure the accuracy data of the upper part of the inner turret and the lower part of the inner turret to determine the machining amount; Step 12: Adjust the machining and cutting equipment according to the precision data, and process the upper and lower sliding rings respectively; Step 13, hoist the upper part of the inner turret to the top of the lower part of the inner turret, adjust the position according to the measurement accuracy data before dismantling, and weld the joints between the upper part of the inner turret and the lower part of the inner turret in accordance with the welding sequence for slip ring repair; Step 14: Install the inner swivel crane back to the floating production storage and offloading unit.
[0005] In the step 2, precision-controlled cross reinforcements are installed at the upper and lower sliding ring positions of the inner turret and at the upper and lower ends near the cutting position.
[0006] In step 8 and step 12, the upper and lower slip rings are an upper radial slip ring, an upper axial slip ring and a lower radial slip ring.
[0007] In step 8, the damaged areas of the upper and lower sliding rings are replaced as a whole.
[0008] In the step 12, the upper and lower sliding rings are machined and then the upper and lower sliding ring data are measured again.
[0009] The invention discloses a method for repairing and machining a slip ring of an inner turret. By designing a hoisting scheme, a supporting scheme, a cutting scheme, a slip ring repair scheme and a slip ring machining scheme, the method can meet the needs of repairing and machining the upper and lower slip rings of the inner turret, and can extend the service life of the inner turret to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the mooring safety of a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO).
