[0002] Aluminum alloy has material characteristics such as low density, high specific strength, and strong corrosion resistance, and has been widely used in shipbuilding such as high-speed boats, ocean research ships, and fishing boats, ensuring the structural strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance of the ships.

[0003] Among them, the side structure of a ship is composed of a deck, an outer plate, a side air door base, fenders, and pipe racks. As a key component structure in an aluminum hull, the side structure directly bears multiple loads such as superstructure loads, wave impacts, and water pressures. Its manufacturing quality and installation accuracy play a crucial role in structural strength and stability. During the construction process, due to the large linear expansion coefficient of the materials, the special structural line type, and the complex pipe rack structure of the side structure, engineering problems such as large welding stress, difficult deformation control, and poor installation accuracy are likely to occur, resulting in poor quality after assembly.

[0004] Therefore, a method for assembling a ship side structure is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Before explaining in detail any implementation mode of the present application, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the structural details and component arrangements described in the following description or shown in the above drawings.

[0038] In the present application, the terms "include", "comprise", "have" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0042] When assembling the side structure of a ship, in order to ensure that the quality after assembly meets the requirements, such as Figures 1-6 shown, the present invention provides a method for assembling a ship side structure. The method for assembling a ship side structure includes the following steps:

[0043] S1. Mark the assumed center line, horizontal line and rib inspection line of the jig 200;

[0044] S2. Install the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 on the jig 200, and position and fix them according to the assumed center line, horizontal line and rib inspection line of the jig 200;

[0045] S3. Draw reference lines on the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 based on the assumed center line, horizontal line and rib inspection line;

[0046] S4. Install transverse members 303, longitudinal members 304, side brackets 305, bulkhead brackets 306, bottom longitudinal members, side air vent bases 312 and fenders 307 on the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 according to the reference lines to form the side structure 300;

[0047] S5. Weld and install longitudinal stiffeners 311 and a plurality of transverse stiffeners 309 on the side structure 300, and weld lifting lugs 308 on the side structure 300;

[0048] S6. Lift the side structure 300 to the installation position, and weld the side structure 300 to the main hull 100;

[0049] S7. Weld and install the pipe rack structure 500 on the side structure 300, and remove the longitudinal stiffeners 311 and the transverse stiffeners 309;

[0050] S8. Complete the closing weld of the side structure 300 and the surrounding hull structure 110.

[0051] In the above - mentioned manner, the positioning and installation of the side structure 300 on the jig 200 can ensure the smooth progress of the assembly of the side structure 300. Moreover, by marking the reference lines to guide the installation of components and brackets, the installation accuracy can be guaranteed. By welding and installing longitudinal stiffeners 311 and multiple transverse stiffeners 309 on the side structure 300, it is convenient to control deformation, reduce the influence of welding stress, and ensure that the quality after assembly meets the requirements.

[0052] In some embodiments, in step S2, iron weights are used to press the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 tightly against the jig 200 and fit them, and a rotating puller is used for fixation. In this embodiment, the side structure 300 is constructed by the reverse - building method. By reasonably designing the jig 200, the jig 200 is adapted to the designed contours of the deck 302 and the outer plate 301. By using iron weights and a rotating puller to press the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 tightly against the jig 200, the contour shapes of the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 can be accurately controlled, ensuring that the subsequent side structure 300 formed after welding and assembly meets the design requirements.

[0053] In some embodiments, in step S3, thin steel wires are pulled at the wire rack, and the assumed center line, horizontal line of the jig 200 and the rib inspection line are marked on the structural surfaces of the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 by the plumb - bob method. And punch marks for reference lines are made at 100 mm from the rib inspection line towards the bow part and 100 mm from the assumed center line of the jig 200 towards the side direction. By marking the reference lines in the above - mentioned manner, it is convenient for the subsequent positioning and installation of other components of the side structure 300.

[0054] In some embodiments, in step S3, the component installation lines and the large - joining seam lines are marked on the deck 302 and the outer plate 301 according to the reference lines. By marking the component installation lines and the large - joining seam lines, it provides effective positioning for the subsequent joining and welding of the assembled side structure 300 with the main hull 100 and the surrounding hull structures 110.

[0055] In some embodiments, when installing the side brackets 305, the side brackets 305 connected to the longitudinal circular tubes of the pipe rack structure 500 are spot - welded for fixation. Since some side brackets 305 have an assembly relationship with the longitudinal circular tubes of the subsequent pipe rack structure 500, but the installation of this part of the side brackets 305 is before the installation of the longitudinal circular tubes. Therefore, by the method of spot - welding installation, when the position of the subsequent installed longitudinal circular tubes is inappropriate, the connection between the side brackets 305 and the deck 302 or the outer plate 301 can be quickly disconnected, and then adjusted to the appropriate position for full - welding.

[0056] In some embodiments, when installing the transverse member 303, since the subsequent hanging weight 308 needs to be welded to the transverse member 303, the part of the transverse member 303 corresponding to the rib position where the hanging weight 308 is located is fully welded, and the transverse member 303 parts of the other rib positions are only spot welded and fixed, and then welded after the ship is positioned on the slipway. In the above manner, when the hanging weight 308 is used to turn over the side structure 300 and hoist it to cooperate with the main hull 100, it can be ensured that the hanging weight 308 is stably connected to the side structure 300 through the transverse member 303. The remaining parts are spot welded to facilitate subsequent adjustment.

[0057] In some embodiments, in step S5, a longitudinal diagonal brace reinforcement 310 is installed at the side air door base 312. By installing the longitudinal diagonal brace reinforcement 310, the strength of the side air door base 312 can be improved to prevent the side air door base 312 from being deformed during the subsequent assembly process.

[0058] In some embodiments, in step S5, the side structure 300 is turned over by using the welding hanger 308 in cooperation with the lifting equipment, and the rib position positioning lines of the overall width and length of the side structure 300 and the positioning lines of the height and width of the angle lines are marked. In the above manner, after the side structure 300 is turned over after the reverse construction is completed, the rib position positioning lines and the positioning lines of the height and width of the angle lines to be subsequently installed with the main hull 100 are marked, so as to facilitate the subsequent guidance of the installation of the side structure 300 on the main hull 100.

[0059] In some embodiments, in step S6, a pier wood assembly tooling 400 is set on the ground directly below the outermost frame of the side structure 300 for support, and then the side structure 300 is hoisted to the installation position, and the rib position positioning line and the positioning line are adjusted to correspond to the main hull 100. In this embodiment, a wedge-shaped sleeper 402 is used in conjunction with a steel pier 401 as the pier wood assembly tooling 400. By cooperating with the wedge-shaped sleeper 402 and the side structure 300, it is possible to avoid rigid contact between the side structure 300 and the pier wood assembly tooling 400, thereby protecting the side structure 300.

[0060] In some embodiments, in step S6, a reverse deformation amount is reserved for the side structure 300. Since internal stress will be generated during the subsequent welding process with the main hull 100, causing the side structure 300 to deform, the reverse deformation amount is reserved to offset the deformation caused by the internal stress after the subsequent welding is completed.

[0061] In some embodiments, in step S6, the hull structure within the range of 0-300 mm from the large closure seam line is only spot welded and assembled, and full welding is performed after the berth is closed and positioned. After the spot welding assembly, the hull structure is then closed and positioned and then fully welded. During the closing and connecting process, the hull structure can be adjusted at any time as needed.

[0062] In some embodiments, in step S7, the manufacturing process of the pipe support structure 500 is as follows:

[0063] First, assemble the A-pipe 501, B-pipe 502, C-pipe 503, the first gusset plate and the support reinforcement in the pipe support structure 500 into an A-type pipe support structure, and assemble the D-pipe 504, the second gusset plate and the sealing plate into a bulk pipe support structure. Then, assemble the A-type pipe support structure and the bulk pipe support structure to form the pipe support structure 500. In this way, the assembly of the pipe support structure 500 is facilitated. After multiple pipe support structures 500 are welded and installed on the side structure 300, install the longitudinal circular pipe, and use the longitudinal circular pipe to connect multiple A-type pipe support structures to ensure the overall structural strength.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
