Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, and in particular to a ring segment displacement method. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of large LNG ships, ring segment displacement is usually used to dock hull sections or ring segments. For example, Chinese patent CN110329427A discloses a method for docking hull ring segments. The method is characterized in that several hydraulic trolleys equipped with transverse mechanisms are arranged at the bottom of the docking ring segment and the docked ring segment. The hydraulic trolleys travel along tracks and cooperate with the transverse mechanisms to achieve translation and small-angle rotation of the ring segments. The small-angle rotation of the ring segments is caused by the difference between the two extension rods generated by the different displacements of the two transverse cylinders of the transverse mechanism, which causes the ring segments to rotate at a small angle around the vertical direction (Z-axis). However, in this docking method, the hydraulic trolley needs to move along the track, and the layout of the track is restricted by the layout of the dock piers at the bottom of the ring segment. Therefore, the space for the hydraulic trolley to move and operate is restricted by the layout of the dock piers at the bottom of the ring segment, that is, the layout of the jacking mechanism is restricted by the dock piers, which cannot meet the stress requirements of some parts of the displaced ring segment, especially the chord side. In addition, the outer bottom plate of the ring segment, especially the outer bottom plate of the ring segment in the fuel tank area, has a certain linearity, and the dock pier fixed at the bottom of the ring segment has inconsistent compression after the ring segment is seated, causing the displaced ring segment to deform, affecting the docking accuracy of the ring segment.

For example, it can be a mechanical connection or the internal communication between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] This embodiment provides a ring segment displacement method, such as Figure 1As described above, in this embodiment, the reference ring segment 2 is the stern ring segment, and the displacement ring segment 1 is the fuel tank ring segment. The displacement ring segment 2 and the reference ring segment 1 are precisely docked through the ring segment displacement method in this embodiment.

[0042] A ring segment displacement method in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0043] S1. Determine the number and arrangement of the jacking devices 5 according to the weight center of gravity of the shifting ring segment, and define the direction along the length of the ship as the X direction, the direction along the width of the ship as the Y direction, and the vertical direction as the Z direction. The ends of the jacking devices 5 can move along the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction. The bottom of the jacking device is fixed to the bottom of the dock, and the ends of the jacking devices 5 are driven and adjusted by the adjusting cylinder.

[0044] In order to avoid deformation of the structure of the displacement ring segment during the jacking process, the jacking device is arranged at the intersection of the longitudinal and transverse non-curved lines of the hull structure on the displacement ring segment. The layout position of the jacking device is staggered with the dock 6 of the displacement ring segment, and the inlet and outlet channels of the jacking device are unobstructed. In order to meet the stress requirements of all parts of the displacement ring segment, when calculating the number of jacking devices 5, the jacking device is provided with a safety factor of the rated load. In this embodiment, the safety factor is greater than or equal to 1.25. The weight of the displacement ring segment is divided by the safety factor and then divided by the rated load of the jacking device to obtain the estimated number of jacking devices. After the number and position of the jacking devices are arranged, finite element calculation is performed to confirm that the load-bearing capacity of the jacking device and the structural stress of the displacement ring segment meet the safety requirements.

[0045] S2, floating and displacing the constructed displacement ring segment 1 to the vicinity of the reference ring segment 2, and measuring the accuracy data of the center line, baseline and first butting end face 3 of the displacement ring segment 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the constructed displacement ring segment 1 is floated and displaced to a position 50 mm from the reference ring segment 2. In order to reduce the difficulty of on-site construction, the displacement ring segment 1 does not need to be placed precisely when it is placed.

[0047] S3, measuring the accuracy data of the center line, baseline and second butting end face 4 of the completed reference ring segment 2.

[0048] S4, trimming the margin of the first butting end face 3 according to the measurement data of S2 and S3.

[0049] S5 , drawing a position line of the jacking device on the outer bottom plate of the shift ring segment according to the arrangement position of the jacking device 5 determined in S1 .

[0050] According to the layout position of the jacking device 5 determined by S1, the position line of each jacking device is drawn on the bottom of the dock according to the X and Y coordinate data of each jacking device, and the position line of the bottom of the dock is reflected to the outer bottom plate of the corresponding shift ring segment, and a cross-line position line of the jacking device is drawn on the outer bottom plate of the shift ring segment.

[0051] S6, arrange the lifting device 5 in place according to the position line of the lifting device, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0052] The center of the end of the jacking device 5 is aligned with the intersection of the cross lines at the bottom of the outer plate S5. In this embodiment, the center of the adjusting cylinder is aligned with the intersection of the cross lines at the bottom of the outer plate S5.

[0053] S7, the jacking devices are grouped and connected to the control console. The jacking devices of each group can be operated and controlled separately to enable precise and flexible adjustment of the moving ring segments.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the jacking devices are divided into 4 groups, with two groups on each side of the hull centerline 8. The number of jacking devices in each group is roughly the same, and they are named group a, group b, group c and group d respectively.

[0055] S8, removing the temporary connections around the shift ring segment, so that the shift ring segment 1 is in a free state;

[0056] S9, pre-lift the jacking device, so that the jacking device is subjected to a certain jacking force, but there is no need to lift the ring segment, check whether the force displayed on each jacking device on the control console display is normal. If the force display is abnormal, check the connection line between the jacking device and the control console;

[0057] S10, after the pre-lifting inspection is completed, the lifting force is released. After the release is complete, the formal lifting begins, and the lifting force of the lifting oil pump is gradually increased until the displacement ring segment 1 is completely lifted and separated from the dock pier by about 50 mm. The height direction of the jacking device is no longer adjusted, and the dock pier pressed against the displacement ring segment is knocked loose. 50 mm away from the dock pier means that there is space to handle the dock pier without wasting too much energy to lift the displacement ring segment.

[0058] S11, controlling the lifting device to drive the displacement ring segment 1 to move along the Y direction over the reference ring segment 2 until the displacement ring segment docks with the reference ring segment in the Y direction.

[0059] S12, adjusting the coordinates of the displacement ring segment 1 in the X and Z directions by means of the jacking device until the displacement ring segment 1 is docked with the reference ring segment in both the X and Z directions.

[0060] By locally adjusting the X and Z coordinates of one or two groups of lifting devices, the displacement ring segment 1 can be docked with the reference ring segment 2 in both the X and Z directions. By adjusting the lifting devices in groups, the docking accuracy of the displacement ring segment 1 and the reference ring segment 2 can be improved. During this process, it is necessary to constantly pay attention to the weight display of each lifting device on the control console display to avoid excessive force on some lifting devices, which may cause cylinder explosion and deformation of the hull structure.

[0061] S13, adjusting the height and levelness of the dock pier loosened in S10 according to the positioning of the shifted ring segment.

[0062] S14, after the dock pier is adjusted, the shift ring segment 1 is slowly lowered until the shift ring segment rests on the pier.

[0063] During this process, it is also necessary to always pay attention to the weight display of each jacking device on the control panel display screen to avoid excessive force on some jacking devices, resulting in cylinder explosion and deformation of the hull structure.

[0064] S15, move the lifting device out of the bottom of the ring segment to complete the displacement of the large ring segment.

[0065] By adjusting the height and levelness of the knocked-down dock, the adjusted dock is more adapted to the linear outer bottom plate 7 of the displaced ring segment, so that the compression amount of the dock is consistent after the ring segment is seated, avoiding deformation of the displaced ring segment and ensuring docking accuracy.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention. They should all be included in the scope of the technical solutions for which protection is sought in the present invention.
