Description

They play the role of "super refrigerated trucks" for transporting LNG at sea and have become the main mode of ocean-going natural gas transportation. LNG storage tanks are the core equipment of C-type independent tank LNG carriers. With the surge in domestic LNG demand and transportation volume, LNG carriers and LNG storage tanks are also developing in the direction of large-scale.

[0003] At present, in order to increase the loading capacity of the liquid cargo tanks of large LNG transport ships, their LNG storage tanks generally adopt the structure of double-ear storage tanks, which have the advantages of reducing related equipment, optimizing the layout in the cabin, and large cargo capacity. The cylinder of the double-ear storage tank is formed by connecting two groups of C-type cylinder sections with the longitudinal bulkhead, and the cylinder as a whole is a structure formed by two single cylinders intersecting. Different from general cylindrical storage tanks, the two groups of C-type cylinder sections of the double-ear storage tank are incomplete cylindrical structures. Whether the cylinder sections are welded in the vertical or horizontal direction, the circumferential seam can only be welded in all positions or horizontally by arc welding. There are technical problems such as low welding efficiency, high welding difficulty, difficult to ensure welding quality, and poor weld surface forming quality. The process is complicated, the construction is difficult, and a lot of weld surface grinding is required.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, in step 2, the single-side cylinder is hoisted onto the assembly platform and the patched cylinder segments are cut and removed to form the first side cylinder. The removed patched cylinder segments are further used for assembly and welding of the second side cylinder.

[0031] Before introducing the technical solution of the present invention, it is necessary to explain the background of the invention. It is common that, at present, in order to increase the loading capacity, the LNG storage tanks of large LNG transport ships generally adopt the structure of double-ear storage tanks, which have the advantages of reducing related equipment, optimizing the layout in the cabin, and large cargo capacity. The cylinder of the double-ear storage tank is formed by connecting two groups of C-type cylinder sections with longitudinal bulkheads, and the cylinder as a whole is a structure formed by two single cylinders intersecting. Different from general cylindrical storage tanks, the two groups of C-type cylinder sections of the double-ear storage tank are incomplete cylindrical structures. Whether the cylinder sections are welded in the vertical or horizontal direction, the circumferential seam can only be welded in all positions or horizontally by arc welding. There are technical problems such as low welding efficiency, high welding difficulty, difficult to ensure welding quality, and poor weld surface forming quality. The process is complicated, the construction is difficult, and a large amount of weld surface grinding is required.

[0032] In order to overcome the technical problems of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a method for manufacturing a double-ear storage tank cylinder. Figures 1 to 3 An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a double-ear storage tank cylinder body, wherein a reusable patching cylinder segment block 12 is used to assemble the main cylinder segment blocks 11 of the double-ear storage tank cylinder body into a circular cylinder segment structure, and the circular cylinder segment annular seams are assembled and welded on a welding roller frame 5. The circular cylinder segment annular seams are welded by submerged arc flat welding to form a circular cylinder body, and then the circular cylinder segment is turned 90 degrees and placed vertically on an assembly platform, and the patching cylinder segment blocks 12 are cut and removed to form a C-shaped first side cylinder body 1. The cut patching cylinder segment blocks 12 can be used in the assembly and welding operation of a second side cylinder body 2 which is a symmetrical structure with the first side cylinder body 1. After the circular cylinder body is formed, the patching cylinder segment blocks 12 are cut and removed in the same way to form a second side cylinder body 2. Finally, the C-shaped first side cylinder body 1 and the second side cylinder body 2 are welded with the middle longitudinal bulkhead 3 to complete the manufacture of the double-ear storage tank cylinder. This manufacturing method has the advantages of ingenious cylinder segment assembly method, high assembly efficiency, automatic submerged arc flat welding, high quality and reliable welding efficiency, good weld surface formation, and can avoid weld surface grinding. Figures 1 to 3 , this production method comprises the following steps:

[0033] Step 1, making cylinder segment blocks: the double-ear storage tank includes a first side cylinder 1, a second side cylinder 2 and a longitudinal bulkhead 3, and a plurality of main cylinder segment blocks 11 and inlay cylinder segment blocks 12 used to form the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2 are made;

[0034] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the implementation of step 1 also includes the following content: according to the circumference and height size of the binaural storage tank cylinder, the number of the main body cylinder segment block 11, the patch cylinder segment block 12 and the circular cylinder segment is set. Preferably, in this embodiment, the circular cylinder segment is set to three groups. In some embodiments, when making the patch cylinder segment block 12 in step 1, the main body cylinder segment block 11 uses 7Ni steel, which has the characteristics of high strength and excellent low-temperature toughness, and the patch cylinder segment block 12 uses ordinary steel plate. Because the patch cylinder segment block 12 will be separated from the main body of the binaural storage tank cylinder during subsequent cutting, the use of ordinary steel plate can reduce material costs. In some embodiments, when making the main body cylinder segment block 11 in step 1, when making the main body cylinder segment block 11 in step 1, the main body cylinder segment block 11 welded with the patch cylinder segment block 12 should retain a cutting margin of 30 to 40 mm to avoid damaging the structure of the first side cylinder 1 or the second side cylinder 2 during subsequent cutting. As a preferred technical solution, in some embodiments, the main body cylinder segment block 11 and the patch cylinder segment block 12 in step S1 are formed by roller molding.

[0035] Step 2, assembling and welding the first side cylinder 1: on the assembly platform, vertically weld a number of main cylinder segment blocks 11 and inlay cylinder segment blocks 12 to form three groups of circular cylinder segments, turn each circular cylinder segment 90 degrees, hoist it onto the welding roller frame 5, and horizontally weld it to form a single-side cylinder, hoist the single-side cylinder onto the assembly platform and place it vertically, cut and remove the inlay cylinder segment blocks 12 to form a C-shaped first side cylinder 1;

[0036] It should be noted that, before assembling and welding the first side cylinder in step 2, an assembly platform needs to be set up, and the assembly platform setting up includes the following steps: first prepare a number of assembly jigs that can be fixed on the ground, such as Figure 2 As shown, this assembly jig can clamp the main body cylinder section blocks and the patch cylinder section blocks, draw the assembly jig layout line along the vertical projection of the first side cylinder, and then evenly distribute a number of assembly jigs along the layout line and fix them on the ground to complete the erection, so as to provide a number of main body cylinder section blocks and patch cylinder section blocks for vertical assembly and layout.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments, before assembling and welding the first side cylinder 1 in step 2, a welding roller frame 5 needs to be set up. The setting up of the welding roller frame 5 includes the following steps: first, three groups of support rods that can be fixed to the ground are prepared, and the three groups of support rods are evenly spaced and fixed to the ground according to the radial size of the circular cylinder segment, and two groups of pulleys are symmetrically arranged on the top of the support rods to complete the setting up, so that the circular cylinder segment can be rotatably placed on the welding roller bracket in the horizontal direction to perform the circumferential seam welding of adjacent circular cylinder segments. After the circumferential seam welding of two adjacent circular cylinder segments is completed, a third group of welding roller frames are set on both sides thereof to perform the subsequent circumferential seam assembly and welding of the cylinder segments.

[0038] Step 3, assembling and welding the second side cylinder 2: repeat step 2 to complete the assembly and welding of the second side cylinder 2 which is axially symmetrical with the first side cylinder 1; it should be noted that, as a preferred technical solution, in some embodiments, in step 2, the single-sided cylinder is hoisted onto the assembly platform and the patching cylinder segment blocks 12 are cut and removed to form the first side cylinder 1, and the patching cylinder segment blocks 12 after removal are continuously used for the assembly and welding of the second side cylinder. The method of assembling the main body cylinder segment blocks 11 into a circular cylinder segment structure using reusable patching cylinder segment blocks 12 solves the problem of maintaining roundness and assembly accuracy of the C-shaped first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2 during the assembly and welding process.

[0039] In addition, as a preferred technical solution, please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, when each circular cylinder segment is flipped 90 degrees and hoisted onto the welding roller frame 5 for assembly welding in steps 2 and 3, a temporary internal support frame 6 is added to each circular cylinder segment. The temporary internal support frame 6 is composed of a plurality of cross bars that are intersected and inserted into the circular cylinder segment and abut against its inner wall to prevent the circular cylinder segment from deforming due to its own weight.

[0040] Step 4, closing the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2: place the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2 on the assembly platform, and then place the longitudinal bulkhead 3 between the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2, and weld them together to form a double-ear storage tank cylinder. Specifically, first adjust the position of the assembly platform according to the vertical projection of the double-ear storage tank, place the opening sides of the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2 opposite to each other on the assembly platform, and then hoist the longitudinal bulkhead 3 to the junction of the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2, and adjust the weld position of the longitudinal bulkhead 3 and the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2 and connect them with a clamp, and after the gap, misalignment, angular deformation, straightness, and ovality are adjusted to meet the requirements, point fixation is performed, and after the point fixation is completed and passed the inspection, welding is performed to complete the closing operation of the first side cylinder 1 and the second side cylinder 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the following contents are also included after step S4: non-destructive testing is performed on the cylinder of the binaural storage tank; wherein the testing methods include radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, coloring and visual inspection.

[0042] In summary, the above-mentioned method for manufacturing the double-ear storage tank cylinder has the following technical advantages:

[0043] 1. The present application adopts a method of assembling the main body cylinder segment blocks into a circular cylinder segment structure by using reusable embedded cylinder segment blocks, which solves the problem of maintaining roundness and assembly accuracy during the assembly and welding process of the first side cylinder body and the second side cylinder body of the C-type; 2. The present application adopts embedded cylinder segment blocks and main body cylinder segment blocks to first assemble and weld to form a number of circular cylinder segments for forming the first side cylinder body and the second side cylinder body, and assembles and welds the annular seams of each circular cylinder segment on a welding roller frame, which solves the problem that the first side cylinder body and the second side cylinder body of the C-type cannot be welded due to incomplete structure. The present invention solves the problem of automatic or semi-automatic welding, improves the quality and efficiency of the circumferential seam welding of the double-ear storage tank cylinder, and eliminates the surface grinding treatment process of the weld; 3. In the present application, a new method of welding the first side cylinder, the second side cylinder and the longitudinal bulkhead on an assembly platform is adopted when closing the first side cylinder and the second side cylinder, which avoids the problem of setting up a large number of scaffoldings for high-altitude operations during the assembly of the first side cylinder and the second side cylinder, reduces the difficulty of assembling the first side cylinder and the second side cylinder, and improves the construction quality of the double-ear storage tank cylinder.

[0044] Therefore, compared with the existing double-ear storage tank manufacturing technology, the manufacturing method of the double-ear storage tank cylinder provided by the present invention has obvious technical advantages.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
