Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sailing oil tankers, and in particular to a main deck arrangement of a sailing oil tanker. Background Art

[0002] Traditional large oil tankers are all driven by fuel engines. The fuel economy of such oil tankers is difficult to control and the operating costs are high. In particular, the fuel exhaust gas will pollute the environment.

[0003] Existing sailing oil tankers can effectively improve the power output of the ship, improve fuel economy and reduce operating costs. Such sailing oil tankers are usually equipped with vertical lifting sails. The bottom of the sails is equipped with a hydraulic system extending under the main deck. The lifting and closing of the sails are controlled by the hydraulic system. However, this type of hydraulic system will occupy a large part of the cargo hold space.

[0004] The existing upright and horizontal adjustable wind blades adjust their shape by folding the flaps on both sides and rotating themselves in the upright state, thereby generating an optimal windward angle to obtain maximum thrust. When the ship encounters extreme weather and needs pilotage and dock operations, the wind blades are folded and converted to a horizontal position through a hydraulic system, thus meeting the various environmental navigation and operation requirements of the ship.

[0005] The problem is that this type of vertical and horizontal adjustable wind wing takes up a lot of space on the main deck. In the lying state, the overall length of the wind wing can reach 45 meters. Together with the support part and the base, the overall length can reach about 63 meters. Therefore, how to maximize the number of vertical and horizontal adjustable wind wings while meeting other functional requirements of the main deck has become a difficult problem in the layout of the main deck of a sailing tanker. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a main deck arrangement of a sailing tanker that realizes a three-wind wing arrangement in view of the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present invention is: a main deck layout of a sailing oil tanker, including a main deck, a gangway, a gangway stacking area, a helicopter landing and take-off area, a pipeline bridge structure, a filling station, a hatch cover, a mast house, a hose crane, a vent pipe, and a sailing equipment. The sailing equipment includes three wind blades, and the three wind blades are all vertically and horizontally adjustable wind blades. The first wind blade and the second wind blade are arranged at the bow, and the third wind blade is arranged at the stern. The first wind blade and the second wind blade are respectively located on both sides of the bow. The first wind blade and the second wind blade are oriented oppositely. The vent pipe and the hatch cover are arranged away from the three wind blades. The gangway is arranged on both sides of the stern, the gangway stacking area is arranged on the side away from the third wind blade, the helicopter landing and take-off area is arranged on the side of the midship close to the lifting radius of the hose crane, the second wind blade is on the same side as the helicopter landing and take-off area and is arranged close to the bow end, the first wind blade is located on the side away from the helicopter landing and take-off area and is arranged close to the midship, and the mast house and the filling station are both arranged in the midship.

[0008] Preferably, the wind vane is a three-element wing sail, which is composed of a main element and two secondary elements. A rotating part is provided at the bottom of the three-element wing sail, a base is provided to be connected to the shaft of the rotating part, a horizontal hydraulic cylinder is provided to connect the rotating part, and the hydraulic cylinder is fixed on the main deck. The standing and lying positions of the three-element wing sail are controlled by the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the main deck is provided with a support portion, which engages and supports the three-element wing sail in a lying position.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the direction of the hatch cover and the vent pipe in the conventional oil tanker is adjusted so that the wind blades avoid the explosion-proof hazardous area; by arranging the first wind blade and the second wind blade relatively on both sides of the bow, the problem of pipeline layout failure caused by the same direction arrangement is avoided, and the number of wind blades arranged on the main deck is increased to three, which increases the economy of ship fuel and reduces operating costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention is further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, various equivalent forms of modifications to the present invention by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 The main deck 10 of the sailing oil tanker shown in the figure includes the main deck 10, a gangway 17, a gangway stacking area 18, a helicopter landing area 14, a pipeline bridge structure 16, a filling station, a hatch 20, a mast house, a hose crane 15, a vent pipe 19, and a sailing equipment. The sailing equipment includes three wind blades, and the three wind blades are all vertical and horizontal adjustable wind blades. The first wind blade 11 and the second wind blade 12 are arranged at the bow, and the third wind blade 13 is arranged at the stern. The first wind blade 11 and the second wind blade 12 are respectively located on both sides of the bow. The first wind blade 11 and the second wind blade 12 are respectively located on both sides of the bow. The second wind blade 12 is oriented oppositely, the vent pipe 19 and the hatch cover 20 are arranged away from the three wind blades, the gangway 17 is arranged on both sides of the stern, the gangway stacking area 18 is arranged on the side away from the third wind blade 13, the helicopter landing area 14 is arranged on the side of the midship close to the lifting radius of the hose crane 15, the second wind blade 12 is on the same side as the helicopter landing area 14 and is arranged close to the bow end, the first wind blade 11 is located on the side away from the helicopter landing area 14 and is arranged close to the midship, and the mast house and the filling station are both arranged in the midship.

[0020] It needs to be further explained that the gangway 17, the pipeline bridge structure 16, the filling station, the mast house and the hose crane 15 are all arranged on the main deck similar to those of a conventional oil tanker. The main difference lies in the arrangement and adjustment of the air vent 19 and the arrangement and adjustment of the hatch cover 20. The air vent 19 and the hatch cover 20 are arranged away from the three wind wings to prevent the influence of the explosion-proof hazardous area on the wind wings, and the first wind wing 11 and the second wind wing 12 are arranged on opposite sides. When arranging the pipeline structure, the pipeline can be bent and arranged through the space reserved between the first wind wing 11 and the second wind wing 12, so as to avoid the problem that when the first wind wing 11 and the second wind wing 12 are arranged in the same direction, there is insufficient space between the two to arrange the pipeline.

[0021] The specific arrangement structure of the vent pipe 19 is shown in Figure 2 The specific arrangement structure of the hatch cover 20 is shown in Figure 3 , wherein the checkered pattern represents the first danger zone, and the striped pattern represents the second danger zone, both danger zones are divided according to relevant regulations on ships, and the bases 26 of all wind vanes are arranged away from the two danger zones.

[0022] Furthermore, the height of the base 26 is adjusted to more than two meters. When the three wind blades are in a lying state, the wind blades will not affect the pipeline layout. Since the main deck 10 needs to be provided with a gangway stacking area 18, and the gangway 17 on one side is used as the main gangway 17, the fourth wind blade cannot be set on the other side of the stern. At the same time, the height of the base is equivalent to the height of the sidelight, wind blade.

[0023] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the wind blade 21 is a three-element wing sail 22, which is composed of a main element 27 and two sub-elements 28. A rotating part 24 is provided at the bottom of the three-element wing sail 22, a base 26 is provided to be connected to the axis of the rotating part 24, a horizontal hydraulic cylinder 25 is provided to be connected to the rotating part 24, the hydraulic cylinder is fixed on the main deck, and the standing and lying positions of the three-element wing sail 22 are controlled by the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 25. The main deck 10 is provided with a supporting part 23, which is connected to and supports the three-element wing sail 22 in the lying state.
