Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shipbuilding, and in particular to a method for constructing bow thruster sections. Background Technology

[0002] Bow thrusters, as an important component of the ship's operating system, are now widely used on ships. Due to their structural design, bow thrusters often need to be installed in advance during the section-by-section stage, requiring extremely high installation precision.

[0003] The conventional construction method for bow thruster sections is to install the bow thruster and other outfitting components after the section structure is formed. However, this construction method has significant limitations. First, it is difficult to adjust the precision of the bow thruster after the structure is complete, and the hoisting process is prone to collisions. Second, it is necessary to wait until the bow thruster is installed before installing the iron outfitting platform, piping system, electrical system and many other outfitting components, which seriously affects the construction efficiency. In addition, the iron outfitting platform needs to be installed normally inside the section, which is difficult to construct. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, this application provides a method for constructing a bow thruster segment to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as the difficulty in adjusting the accuracy of the bow thruster device, the high difficulty in constructing outfitting components in the bow thruster segment, and the low construction efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for constructing a bow thruster segment includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. The bow thruster is divided into an upper structure and a lower structure, with the inner bottom plate as the boundary.

[0008] S2. Construct the lower structure;

[0009] S3. Construct the superstructure;

[0010] S4. Use the lower structure built in S2 as the base plane of the large group;

[0011] S5. Install the bow thruster and thrust cylinder at the designed location of the substructure;

[0012] S6. Install the upper structure at the designed location of the lower structure to form a partial bow thruster segment;

[0013] S7. During the synchronization process from S2 to S6, a platform unit consisting of an iron outfitting platform and its internal support structure is assembled.

[0014] S8. Install the platform unit into the bow thruster section formed by S6;

[0015] S9. Install the missing pipes and cables to part of the bow thrust section.

[0016] S10. Install outfitting components that need to be installed when part of the bow thruster section is in normal condition to form a complete bow thruster section.

[0017] In one implementation, the lower structure in step S2 is an inner bottom plate assembly. The lower structure is constructed in reverse with the inner bottom plate as the base surface. The longitudinal ribs and ribs are installed sequentially on the inner bottom plate according to the design position. Then, the outer plates of the lower structure are scattered on the outer side of the ribs and the inner bottom plate.

[0018] In one embodiment, the superstructure includes a platform midship group, a port side outer plating midship group, and a starboard side outer plating midship group. The platform midship group is located on the stern side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate, and the port side outer plating midship group and the starboard side outer plating midship group are both located on the bow side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate. The port side outer plating midship group is connected to the left side of the bow end face of the platform midship group, and the starboard side outer plating midship group is connected to the right side of the bow end face of the platform midship group.

[0019] In one implementation, step S3 includes: S31, constructing the platform mid-section using the platform plate as the base surface, installing longitudinal ribs and ribs sequentially on the platform plate according to the design positions, and then attaching outer plates to the outer sides of the ribs and platform plate; S32, constructing the port side outer plate mid-section and the starboard side outer plate mid-section using the outer plates of the port side outer plate mid-section and the starboard side outer plate mid-section as the base surfaces, respectively.

[0020] In one implementation, in step S4, the inner bottom plate of S2 is flipped onto the upper frame as the base surface of the large group.

[0021] In one implementation, step S6 includes: turning over the platform mid-assembly and installing the platform mid-assembly to the designed position of the substructure; turning over the port side outer plating mid-assembly and installing the port side outer plating mid-assembly to the designed position of the substructure; and turning over the starboard side outer plating mid-assembly and installing the starboard side outer plating mid-assembly to the designed position of the substructure.

[0022] In one implementation, step S7 includes: assembling the iron outfitting platform on the ground, installing a support frame inside the iron outfitting platform, and installing pipes and cables located inside the iron outfitting platform to form a platform unit.

[0023] In one implementation, step S8 includes: first turning over the platform unit, and then installing the platform unit onto a portion of the bow thruster section.

[0024] In one embodiment, the outfitting includes a grille, an equipment base, and railings.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] This application divides the bow thruster section into an upper structure and a lower structure, with the inner bottom plate as the boundary. After constructing the lower structure, the bow thruster and thruster cylinder are installed on the inner bottom plate, which reduces the difficulty of precision adjustment of the bow thruster and avoids collisions during hoisting. This application also constructs platform units on the ground in a reverse manner while constructing the upper and lower structures and installing the bow thruster, which reduces the closure time of the bow thruster section, reduces the difficulty of platform unit construction, improves construction efficiency, and shortens the ship production cycle.
