Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship design, and specifically to a method for the strength test of a Type B cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft. Background Art

[0002] In the field of ship design and manufacturing, the strength test of a Type B cabin is an important link to ensure the structural safety of the ship. Traditionally, such tests usually increase the pressure inside the cabin by filling the cabin with water, and observe the deformation and structural integrity of the cabin wall under different pressures. However, this method faces some challenges in actual operation, especially under the condition of extreme shallow draft;

[0003] First of all, the traditional method requires a large amount of water to fill the cabin to reach the required test pressure, which not only increases the cost of the test, but may also be difficult to achieve in some waters (such as rivers with shallow water depths), because a large amount of water is required to raise the water level inside the cabin, thereby increasing the total weight of the cabin, forcing the Type B cabin to be tested only in deeper waters, and the test cycle is long; Therefore, a method for the strength test of a Type B cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft is provided to solve the problems of being able to be tested only in deeper waters and having a long test cycle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a method for the strength test of a Type B cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft, which is used to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the water filling time for the strength test of the Type B cabin is long, the dock cycle is long, and the water depth of the water area where it is located cannot ensure the strength test of a single Type B cabin.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for the strength test of a Type B cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft, including a method for the strength test of a Type B cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft, characterized in that: on the Type B cabin, there are arranged a No. 1 cabin, a No. 2 cabin, a No. 3 cabin and a No. 4 cabin connected in sequence by pipelines, and the No. 1 cabin, the No. 2 cabin, the No. 3 cabin and the No. 4 cabin are all divided into left and right two cabins, and the left and right two cabins are placed side by side on the ship in the experimental water area where they are located;

[0006] The method includes:

[0007] Step S1: Inject water into the left cabin of the No. 1 cabin and the right cabin of the No. 3 cabin, and check the strength and airtightness of the inner cabin walls of the No. 1 cabin and the No. 3 cabin;

[0008] Step S2: Inject water into the No. 1 cabin and the No. 3 cabin, and check the strength and airtightness of the No. 1 cabin and the No. 3 cabin;

[0009] Step S3: Drain the water in the No. 1 cabin and the No. 3 cabin, inject water into the left cabin of the No. 2 cabin and the right cabin of the No. 4 cabin, and check the strength and airtightness of the cabin walls of the No. 2 cabin and the No. 4 cabin;

[0010] Step S4: Fill the fourth left compartment and the fourth right compartment with water, fill the first compartment and the second compartment with water until the hull is balanced, and check the strength and airtightness of the fourth right compartment;

[0011] Step S5: Interchange the left and right compartments in the first compartment, the second compartment and the third compartment, and check the strength and airtightness of the fourth left compartment;

[0012] Step S6: Add water to the second right compartment and the second left compartment, drain water from the fourth right compartment, keep the fourth left compartment unchanged, empty the first compartment, and check the strength and airtightness of the second compartment.

[0013] The present invention further illustrates that the pipeline includes a low-pressure pipeline, a high-pressure pipeline and a pump body. The number of the pump bodies is the same as that of the B-type compartments, and the pump bodies correspond to the B-type compartments one by one;

[0014] In each B-type compartment, the pump bodies with corresponding relationships are respectively connected to the left and right compartments of the corresponding B-type compartment through two high-pressure pipelines, and the pump bodies with corresponding relationships are also respectively connected to the left and right compartments of the corresponding B-type compartment through two low-pressure pipelines. The pump bodies respectively control the water volumes in the left and right compartments of the same B-type compartment;

[0015] Between two adjacent different B-type compartments, the compartments on the same side are connected through a low-pressure pipeline.

[0016] The present invention further illustrates that filling and draining water into the B-type compartment by using the above pipeline includes the following methods:

[0017] When it is necessary to conduct a strength test on a certain compartment of the B-type compartment and the adjacent compartments of the compartment to be tested are all in the no-load state, start the pump body corresponding to the B-type compartment where the compartment is located. The pump body injects water into the compartment through the pipeline connection, controls the water injection volume of each compartment. When the water in the compartment is about to reach the required water level, reduce the output power of the pump body. The pump body injects water into the compartment through the low-pressure pipeline until the water in the compartment reaches the required water level, and completes the strength test of the corresponding compartment;

[0018] When it is necessary to drain the water from the compartment after the test is completed and conduct a strength test on its adjacent compartment, by opening the valve of the pipeline between the two adjacent compartments, the water in the compartment to be drained is injected into the compartment to be tested under the action of pressure. When the water pressures in the two compartments are equal or the water in the compartment to be tested reaches the required water level, close the valve of the pipeline between the two compartments. By starting the pump bodies corresponding to the two compartments, the pump bodies inject water and pump water to make the water levels in the corresponding compartments reach the test requirements, and complete the strength test of the corresponding compartment.

[0019] The present invention further illustrates that before the step S1, the following steps are further included:

[0020] Step S01 : Keep all compartments empty before the test, measure and record the draft of the hull.

[0021] Step S 02 : Given that the maximum pressure borne by the B-type compartment during operation is P1, it can be known that the rated height of the water level in the B-type compartment from the bottom of the compartment should be h at this time. Calculate the weight of the water in the compartment as m1 and obtain the rated draft as L. When the L is less than or equal to the water depth of the water area where it is located, obtain the required pressure in the compartment during the test as P1; when the L is greater than the water depth, obtain the required pressure in the compartment during the test as P1 + △p, where △p is the pressure that needs to be increased in the compartment during the test, and △p is proportional to the difference between the water depth and L. At this time, the rated height of the water level in the B-type compartment from the bottom of the compartment should be h1, and the weight of the water in the B-type compartment is m2.

[0022] Step S 03 : Adjust the pressure in the compartment according to the test plan. When the pressure in the compartment is adjusted to P1 + △p, start the test.

[0023] The present invention further explains that adjusting the pressure in the compartment according to the test plan includes:

[0024] Fix a pressure pump 9 inside each left and right compartment of the B-type compartment, and adjust the pressure in the compartment by compressing the air in its corresponding compartment through the pressure pump 9.

[0025] The present invention further explains that the water volumes in the left and right compartments of the same B-type compartment are controlled respectively, including:

[0026] The first compartment 1 includes a first compartment tank body. A first compartment wall is fixedly connected inside the first compartment tank body to divide it into a first left compartment and a first right compartment, so that the water in the left and right compartments of the first compartment tank body does not communicate with each other.

[0027] The water in the compartment to be drained is injected into the compartment to be tested under the action of pressure, including:

[0028] The first compartment also includes a first compartment sealing door. A first compartment sealing door is opened on the first compartment wall, and by controlling the opening of the first compartment sealing door, the water in the compartment to be drained is injected into the compartment to be tested.

[0029] The pump body injects water into the compartment through a pipeline, including:

[0030] A first left compartment water inlet hole and a first right compartment water inlet hole are opened above the first compartment tank body, and the first left compartment is injected with water through the connection of the first left compartment water inlet hole with the pipeline of the first pump body, and the first right compartment is injected with water through the connection of the first right compartment water inlet hole with the pipeline of the first pump body.

[0031] The present invention is further described as follows. Calculating the weight of water in the computing cabin includes:

[0032] Given that the internal volume of the B-type cabin is C and the internal height is α, by setting the left and right compartments in the B-type cabin to have the same shape, the volume of each compartment is , obtaining the .

[0033] The present invention is further described as follows. Controlling the water injection volume of each compartment includes:

[0034] By setting liquid level detectors in the left and right compartments of the B-type cabin and detecting the depth of water in the compartment through the liquid level detectors, when the depth of water required for the water test is reached, an alarm is issued to stop the staff from injecting water.

[0035] The present invention is further described as follows. Controlling the water injection volume of each compartment further includes:

[0036] Injecting thick and turbulent water flow into the corresponding compartment through the high-pressure pipeline. When the required water volume is about to be reached, injecting thin and slow water flow into the corresponding compartment through the low-pressure pipeline until the required water volume is reached.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: The present invention calculates the required test pressure through the draft of the hull and the maximum pressure of the B-type cabin. When the required test pressure exceeds the maximum pressure allowed in the water area, the pressure in the compartment is adjusted through the pressure pump, enabling the test to be carried out in a shallower water area;

[0038] Through the pipeline system, the pump body corresponds to the B-type cabin one by one, and the water volume of each compartment can be controlled separately. This not only improves the flexibility of the test but also can accurately control the water level in the compartment, saving experimental time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0067] The pump body four 8 includes a water inlet of the pump body four, a low-pressure water outlet of the pump body four, and two high-pressure water outlets of the pump body four. The water inlet of the pump body four is connected to the river water through a pipeline. The two high-pressure water outlets of the pump body four are respectively connected to the No. 4 left compartment 403 and the No. 4 right compartment 404 through pipelines. The low-pressure water outlet of the pump body four is connected to the No. 4 left compartment 403 and the No. 4 right compartment 404 through a three-way pipeline.

[0068] The specific steps are as follows:

[0069] Step S1: Pump body pumping water: The four pump bodies (pump body one 5, pump body two 6, pump body three 7, pump body four 8) work independently, and their water inlets are all connected to the river water. When the pump bodies are started, the pump bodies draw water from the river water and pressurize the water. The pressurized water is divided into two parts: one part is output through the high-pressure water outlet to provide a thick and rapid water flow to the corresponding compartment; the other part is output through the low-pressure water outlet and, after passing through the three-way pipeline, provides a thin and slow water flow to the corresponding compartment.

[0070] Step S2: Pipeline guiding: The low-pressure pipeline (black line) and the high-pressure pipeline (red line) play a guiding role in the system to ensure that the water can flow along the predetermined route. The low-pressure pipeline is mainly used for the passage of the thin and slow water flow, while the high-pressure pipeline is used for the passage of the thick and rapid water flow. The connection between the pipeline and each compartment ensures that the water can flow smoothly from one compartment to another.

[0071] Step S3: Compartment storage and distribution: Each compartment (compartment one 1, compartment two 2, compartment three 3, compartment four 4) is divided into left and right parts, which can store the water flow from the pump body respectively. Flow meters are installed at the pipeline connection points between the compartments to monitor and record the water volume flowing through this point. According to needs, the water in the compartment can be further distributed to each compartment on the ship through the pipeline.

[0072] Step S4: Overall coordination: The entire system realizes the effective extraction and utilization of the river water through the pumping of the pump body, the guiding of the pipeline, and the storage and distribution functions of the compartment. Through the close cooperation between the pipeline and each compartment, the stability and reliability of the system are ensured.

[0073] Step S5: Special function: The pressure in each compartment is adjusted by the pressure pump 9.

[0074] The following embodiments are realized through the above pipeline system, and specific regulation can be carried out according to specific situations.

[0075] Embodiment 2: In this embodiment, based on the pipeline system of Embodiment 1, an example is given to illustrate the control method of the pipeline system;

[0076] During the strength detection test of the B-type cabin, it is necessary to inject water into the cabins in different B-type cabins. This method mainly controls the water level in the cabins through a detection rod, a pump body, a flow meter, and the pipelines and sealing doors between the cabins;

[0077] For example: when it is necessary to fill the No. 1 left cabin 103 with water, the staff inserts the detection rod vertically into the left water inlet hole 101 of the No. 1 cabin. By starting the first pump body 5, the first pump body 5 injects the river water into the No. 1 left cabin 103 through the high-pressure pipeline. When the detection rod detects that the distance from the water level in the No. 1 left cabin 103 to the cabin bottom is about to reach the required value, the first pump body 5 is switched to inject water through the low-pressure pipeline. When the detection rod detects that the distance from the water level in the No. 1 left cabin 103 to the cabin bottom completely reaches the required value, the first pump body 5 is closed.

[0078] When the water levels in the No. 1 left cabin 103 and the No. 1 right cabin 104 need to be leveled, by opening the No. 1 cabin sealing door 105, the water in the No. 1 left cabin 103 enters the No. 1 right cabin 104 through the No. 1 cabin sealing door 105 and reaches the same level.

[0079] When the No. 2 left cabin 203 needs to be filled with water and the No. 1 left cabin 103 needs to be drained, by opening the pipeline connection between the No. 2 left cabin 203 and the No. 1 left cabin 103, the river water in the No. 1 left cabin 103 is injected into the No. 2 left cabin 203. When the flow meter between the No. 1 left cabin 103 and the No. 2 left cabin 203 measures that the water flow reaches the required water volume of the No. 2 left cabin 203, or when the water levels in the No. 1 left cabin 103 and the No. 2 left cabin 203 are leveled, the pipeline connection between the No. 2 left cabin 203 and the No. 1 left cabin 103 is closed, and the first pump body 5 is opened to drain the river water in the No. 1 left cabin 103 into the river through the high-pressure pipeline. When the volume of the river water in the No. 2 left cabin 203 does not reach the required value at this time, the second pump body 6 is started to inject water into the No. 2 left cabin 203.

[0080] And so on. Each cabin has two or three adjacent cabins. To improve the efficiency of water injection, drainage, and experiments, at least two cabins are filled with water in each experimental step, and at least two cabins do not contact each other. In this way, in each adjacent step, two adjacent cabins are mutually drained (mutual drainage means opening the pipelines or sealing doors between two adjacent cabins, so that the water in the cabin with relatively higher water pressure flows into the adjacent cabin under the action of pressure), so as to reduce the required time and energy consumption for water injection and drainage at one time.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, by adjusting and controlling the pipeline system and the pressure pump 9, the water addition amount of the B-type cabin is reduced, and the strength tests of each cabin are completed in the Yangtze River with a relatively shallow water depth.

[0082] The current method for measuring the strength of the B-type cabin is to only fill the B-type cabin with water, observe the water intake of the B-type cabin, and detect the strength of the cabin wall under the pressure of water. Let the distance from the water level in the cabin to the bottom of the cabin wall be h, and the pressure on the cabin wall is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] In the formula: is the density of water;

[0085] g is the acceleration due to gravity;

[0086] P 气 is the atmospheric pressure;

[0087] It can be obtained that:

[0088]

[0089] The method of this experiment changes the pressure in the B-type cabin by compressing the air in the cabin where the pressure pump 9 is located, so that the pressure in the B-type cabin is greater than the atmospheric pressure. It can be obtained that:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula: P 舱 is the air pressure in the B-type cabin;

[0092] h1 is the distance from the water level in the cabin of this method to the bottom of the cabin wall.

[0093] Since P 舱 >P 气 So h1 < h, it can be seen that the water injection volume into the B-type cabin by this method is less than that of the conventional method, as Figure 5 shown.

[0094] Example 3: Based on the above example, this example provides a method for testing the strength of the B-type cabin under the condition of extreme shallow draft. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0095] Step S1: Check the strength and airtightness of the cabin walls in the No. 1 cabin 1 and the No. 3 cabin 3

[0096] Add water to the left cabin 103 of the No. 1 cabin and the right cabin 304 of the No. 3 cabin to a height of 6 meters (from the bottom of the cabin) respectively. The water injection volumes are about 3100 tons and 3600 tons respectively.

[0097] After the water injection is completed, observe and record the deformation of the cabin wall, and at the same time check whether the weld leaks.

[0098] Other B-type cabins remain in the empty state, as Figure 6As shown, it can be seen from the figure that except for the No. 4 left cabin 403, other cabins are adjacent to the No. 1 left cabin 103 and the No. 3 right cabin 304. On the premise of ensuring the balance of the hull, the time required to add water to other cabins in the next step is reduced.

[0099] At this time, the forward draft of the ship is 5 meters, the after draft is 5.6 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, and there is no leakage at the weld.

[0100] Step S2: Check the strength and airtightness of the No. 1 cabin 1 and the No. 3 cabin 3

[0101] Add water to the No. 1 left cabin 103, the No. 1 right cabin 104, the No. 3 left cabin 303 and the No. 3 right cabin 304 to a height of 12.5 meters (from the bottom of the cabin) respectively. The water addition amounts are approximately 13,400 tons and 15,400 tons respectively.

[0102] After the water addition is completed, comprehensively check the strength and structural integrity of the liquid cargo tank.

[0103] Other Type B cabins remain in the empty state, such as Figure 7 As shown, it can be seen from the figure that each water-added cabin has a non-water-added cabin adjacent to it. On the premise of ensuring the balance of the hull, the time required to add water to the cabins without water in the next step is saved.

[0104] At this time, both the forward draft and the after draft of the ship are 8.5 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, the structure is intact, and there is no leakage at the weld.

[0105] Step S3: Check the strength and airtightness of the bulkheads of the No. 2 cabin 2 and the No. 4 cabin 4

[0106] Empty the water in the No. 1 cabin 1 and the No. 3 cabin 3.

[0107] Add water to the No. 2 left cabin 203 and the No. 4 right cabin 404 to a height of 6 meters (from the bottom of the cabin) respectively. The water addition amounts are approximately 3,100 tons and 3,600 tons respectively.

[0108] After the water addition is completed, check the strength of the bulkhead and the tightness of the weld.

[0109] Other Type B cabins remain in the empty state, such as Figure 8 As shown, it can be seen from the figure that except for the No. 1 cabin 104, other cabins are adjacent to the No. 2 left cabin 203 and the No. 4 right cabin 404. On the premise of ensuring the balance of the hull, the time required to add water to other cabins in the next step is reduced.

[0110] At this time, the forward draft of the ship is 5.5 meters, the after draft is 6.2 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, and there is no leakage at the weld.

[0111] Step S4: Check the strength and airtightness of the fourth right compartment 404

[0112] Add water to the fourth left compartment 403 to a height of 6 meters, approximately 3200 tons; add water to the fourth right compartment 404 to a height of 12.5 meters, approximately 7300 tons.

[0113] Meanwhile, some water needs to be filled in the first compartment 1 and the second compartment 2 to maintain the balance of the ship.

[0114] After the water addition is completed, check the strength of the fourth right compartment 404.

[0115] Other Type B compartments remain in an empty or appropriately loaded state, as Figure 9 shown.

[0116] At this time, the forward draft of the ship is 8.2 meters, the aft draft is 8.4 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, and no leakage at the welds.

[0117] Step S5: Check the strength and airtightness of the fourth left compartment 403

[0118] Add 7300 tons of water to the fourth right compartment 404 and 3300 tons of water to the fourth left compartment 403; add 500 tons of water to the first right compartment 104 and 2100 tons of water to the first left compartment 103; add 3600 tons of water to the second right compartment 204.

[0119] Other Type B compartments remain in an empty or appropriately loaded state, as Figure 10 shown.

[0120] The forward draft of the ship is 8.2 meters, the aft draft is 8.4 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, and no leakage at the welds.

[0121] Step S6: Check the strength and airtightness of the second compartment 2

[0122] Add water to the second right compartment 204 and the second left compartment 203 respectively to a height of 12.5 meters, approximately 7700 tons each.

[0123] Drain the water in the fourth right compartment 404 to 3300 tons, keep the fourth left compartment 403 unchanged; empty the water in the first right compartment 104 and the first left compartment 103.

[0124] Check the strength of the second compartment 2.

[0125] Other ballast compartments remain in an appropriately loaded state, as shown in Figure 11.

[0126] At this time, the forward draft of the ship is 7.8 meters, the aft draft is 8.2 meters, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead, and no leakage at the welds.

[0127] The experimental data are as in the above three embodiments, and the following experimental results are summarized;

[0128] Step S1: The draft at the bow of the ship is 5 meters, and the draft at the stern is 5.6 meters.

[0129] S2: The drafts at both the bow and stern of the ship are 8.5 meters.

[0130] S3: The draft at the bow of the ship is 5.5 meters, and the draft at the stern is 6.2 meters.

[0131] S4: The draft at the bow of the ship is 8.2 meters, and the draft at the stern is 8.4 meters.

[0132] S5: The draft at the bow is 8.2 meters, and the draft at the stern is 8.4 meters.

[0133] S6: The draft at the bow of the ship is 7.8 meters, and the draft at the stern is 8.2 meters.

[0134] In the above steps, there is no obvious deformation of the bulkhead of type B, and no leakage at the welds.

[0135] By analyzing the above experimental results, the following result analysis can be obtained;

[0136] During the experiment, the drafts at the bow and stern of the ship changed with the increase and decrease of the water volume in the cabin, but always remained within the safe range, which proves that through the precise and stable operation of the pipeline system and pressure control, this experiment can be safely carried out in relatively shallow waters.

[0137] Through the overall arrangement of four type B cabins and experimental steps and flexible water addition and drainage operations, the experimental time was effectively saved, which proves the high efficiency and practicality of the experimental method.

[0138] During each water addition stage, no obvious deformation or weld leakage occurred in the bulkhead, indicating that the bulkhead has sufficient strength and sealing performance.
