AI Technical Summary
When the container ship enters the floating dock pier, the length of the floating dock exceeds the length of the floating dock, causing the propeller to be suspended outside the water surface and the flatbed truck cannot be replaced with a new one, causing the problem of replacing it with a new one.
The old propeller is moved out of the tail shaft by combining an inverted lifting lug and a pneumatic hoist, and is lifted to the dock through a floating hook head. Then the new propeller is installed and adjusted to the tail shaft position.
It effectively solves the problem of replacing propellers when the cap exceeds the length of the floating dock, and realizes safe and efficient replacement of propellers when outside the dock, reducing working hours and creating more output value.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of container ship propeller reconstruction and renewal engineering, and in particular to a container ship propeller renewal and installation method. Background Art
[0002] At present, the shipping market is highly competitive. The shipping industry seeks to reduce costs and increase efficiency through technical transformation. At the same time, the deterioration of the global environment has attracted much attention. The design and construction of green new energy ships are becoming more and more popular. In order to comply with the international trend of the development of the shipping industry and the energy conservation and emission reduction of ships, major shipping companies have transformed the operating ships to reduce transportation costs, save energy, and reduce carbon emissions. By reducing the design speed, replacing the propeller style and adjusting the speed of the main engine, the fuel consumption can be reduced by about 8%-12% during the operation process. The transformation cost can be recovered in one year, and it can create huge economic benefits in the long run. Replacing the propeller of container ships is an important transformation. One of the installation projects is that after the ship enters the dock, the whole ship is in the dock. A flatbed transporter is used with tooling to remove the old propeller of about 50-60 tons from the tail shaft by transportation. Then a new propeller of about 35 tons is transported and installed in place using a flatbed truck. However, the docking period of the ship repair yard is tight, and the ship length is often longer than the length of the floating dock before entering the floating dock for repair. The propeller is located at the stern of the ship and is suspended on the outside of the floating dock above the water. Therefore, a flatbed truck and tooling cannot be used to cooperate with the propeller to replace the propeller. In order to solve the problem of replacing the propeller when the propeller side is outside the dock, a scientific, reasonable and safe propeller replacement and installation method design is essential. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the invention is to provide a scientific, reasonable and safe method for replacing and installing a propeller of a container ship.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is: a method for replacing and installing a propeller of a container ship, comprising the following steps: a. The container ship (2) enters the floating dock (4) and docks the barge (5) at the rear of the floating dock (4); b. Install six reverse lifting lugs (7) on the corresponding outer plate of the old propeller (1), and steer the rudder blade (3) to the left to a maximum angle of 30 degrees; c. Install the propeller-specific lifting ring (13) above the hub of the old propeller (1); d. A first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and a second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) are respectively hung on two reverse lifting eyes (7), and a first 25-ton electric hoist (9) and a second 25-ton electric hoist (10) are respectively hung on the remaining four reverse lifting eyes (7), and a shackle is used to connect the reverse lifting eyes (7) to the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8), the first 25-ton electric hoist (9), the second 25-ton electric hoist (10), and the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11); e.

Remove the general cap (6) that secures the old propeller (1); g. Operate the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) directly above the old propeller (1) to apply force, and then operate the first 25-ton electric hoist (9) and the second 25-ton electric hoist (10) to apply force until the old propeller (1) and the tail shaft (16) are relatively loosened; h. After the old propeller (1) is loosened, the two first 25-ton electric hoists (9) at the front end are in a relaxed state; i. Tighten the two second 25-ton electric hoists (10) at the tail and operate the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) directly above the old propeller (1) to cooperate with each other to move the old propeller (1) backward and remove the old propeller (1) from the tail shaft (16); j. After the old propeller (1) comes out of the tail shaft (16), operate the two second 25-ton electric hoists (10) at the tail of the old propeller (1), one to tighten and the other to extend, so that the old propeller (1) moves to the left; k. Operate the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) to cooperate, tighten the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11), extend the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8), and move the old propeller (1) backwards, so that only the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) at the rear is subjected to force; 1. The steel wire rope of the floating hook head (14) is connected to the shackle of the special lifting ring (13) of the propeller, and the floating hook head (14) is slowly lifted. The second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) is not subjected to force, and the lower end hooks of the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8), the first 25-ton electric hoist (9), the second 25-ton electric hoist (10) and the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) are removed from the rope loop (12).

Connect the lower hooks of the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8), the first 25-ton electric hoist (9) and the second 25-ton electric hoist (10) to the connecting rope loop (12) of the propeller special lifting ring (13). After the connection is completed, tighten the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and loosen the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11). After the new propeller (15) is moved forward, tighten the two second 25-ton electric hoists (10) at the rear. The two second 25-ton electric hoists (10) cooperate to adjust the new propeller (15) to the end position of the tail shaft (16); p. Continue to loosen the second 100-ton pneumatic hoist (11) and the second 25-ton electric hoist (10), tighten the first 100-ton pneumatic hoist (8) and the first 25-ton electric hoist (9), and transport the new propeller (15) to the installation position of the tail shaft (16); q. After installing the general cap (6), remove all tools and complete the propeller replacement.
