[0022] For example, when describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional view showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic view is only an example, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional space dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0025] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only used to illustrate the basic concept of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore the illustrations only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0026] This embodiment provides a method for assembling and disassembling a liquid storage tank, the method comprising:

[0027] The liquid storage tanks are divided into areas and constructed in sections.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the liquid storage tank is first divided according to the length direction. From the longitudinal section view, the liquid storage tank can be divided into a bow 10 and a stern 20; then the liquid storage tank is further divided according to the height direction. From the transverse section view, the liquid storage tank can be divided into a top 30, a middle 40 and a bottom 50. At this time, the liquid storage tank is divided into six areas, namely the top of the bow, the middle of the bow, the bottom of the bow, the top of the stern, the middle of the stern and the bottom of the stern. Due to the large volume of the liquid storage tank, by dividing the liquid storage tank into areas, it can be constructed and processed in sections at the same time, which is conducive to improving construction efficiency and reducing construction difficulty.

[0029] According to the cross-sectional shape of the liquid storage tank, the tank structure in each area is divided into a straight part and a rounded part.

[0030] The liquid storage tank is cut horizontally, and the cross-section of the liquid storage tank is an octagon. The angle between two adjacent sides is 135 degrees and the two adjacent sides are transitioned by arcs. Therefore, according to the structure of the tank body, the tank body is composed of straight edges and arcs. The straight edges are the straight parts, and the arcs are the rounded parts. The straight parts can be understood as a simple flat plate structure, and the rounded parts can be understood as a complex curved plate structure.

[0031] According to the combination of the straight part and the rounded part, the tank body can be divided into six types of assemblies.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the first category, assembly 1 is defined as a structure consisting of only straight parts; in the second category, assembly 2 is defined as a structure consisting of two straight parts and a circular part, the two straight parts are respectively connected to the two ends of the circular part, the angle between the two straight parts is 135 degrees, and the length of the two straight parts is less than 4m; in the third category, assembly 3 is defined as a structure consisting of two straight parts and a circular part, the two straight parts are respectively connected to the two ends of the circular part, the angle between the two straight parts is 135 degrees, and the length of at least one straight part is greater than or equal to 4m; in the fourth category, assembly 4 is defined as It is composed of two circular parts and a straight part, and the two circular parts are respectively connected to the two ends of the straight part; the fifth category is defined as assembly 5, which is composed of two straight parts and a circular part, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the circular part, the angle between the two straight parts is 90 degrees, and the length of at least one straight part is greater than or equal to 2m; the sixth category is defined as assembly 6, which is composed of two straight parts and a circular part, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the circular part, the angle between the two straight parts is 90 degrees, and the length of the two straight parts is less than 2m.

[0033] According to the above classification definition, from the horizontal section of the liquid storage tank, the top of the bow and the top of the stern can be split into the first category assembly 1 and the second category assembly 2, the middle of the bow can be split into the first category assembly 1, and the bottom of the bow can be split into the first category assembly 1, the third category assembly 3 and the fourth category assembly 4. From the longitudinal section of the liquid storage tank, the bottom of the bow and the bottom of the stern can be split into the fifth category assembly 5, and the top of the bow and the top of the stern can be split into the sixth category assembly 6.

[0034] After the tank structure is disassembled, each type of assembly is constructed separately.

[0035] The basic components of each type of intermediate assembly are a straight part and a rounded part. Therefore, the process of constructing each type of intermediate assembly is actually to construct a straight part and a rounded part. The straight part and the rounded part of the actual liquid storage tank are welded together by a plurality of smaller-sized panels, and then the straight part and the rounded part are welded together to form different types of intermediate assemblies. In this embodiment, when welding and constructing each type of intermediate assembly, a welding method combining a welding robot and manual labor is adopted.

[0036] When welding is performed to construct the first type of assembly 1, the assembly consists of straight parts, and welding robots are used to perform welding operations during the construction process.

[0037] When welding and constructing the second type of assembly 2, which consists of two straight parts and a circular part, a welding robot is used for welding operation during the construction of the straight part, and manual welding operation is used when welding and constructing the circular part.

[0038] When welding and constructing the third type of assembly 3, the assembly in this type consists of two straight parts and one circular part. During the construction of the straight part, a welding robot is used for welding operation, while when welding and constructing the circular part, manual welding operation is used.

[0039] When welding and constructing the fourth type of assembly 4, the assembly in this type consists of a straight part and two circular parts. During the construction of the straight part, a welding robot is used for welding operation, while when welding and constructing the circular part, manual welding operation is used.

[0040] When welding and constructing the fifth type of assembly 5, which consists of two straight parts and one circular part, a welding robot is used for welding operation during the construction of the straight part, and manual welding operation is used when welding and constructing the circular part.

[0041] When welding is used to construct the sixth type of assembly 6, the assembly consists of two straight parts and a rounded part. The assembly structure of this type is complex and has low structural strength. It is manufactured using traditional manual welding.

[0042] By adopting the above method for splitting, the liquid storage tank can be uniformly split into six categories. Compared with the traditional splitting method, this method can reduce the types of splitting of the middle assembly. In this method, when constructing the straight part, robots are usually used for welding. Since the category of robot welding objects is single, the programming workload of the robot can be greatly reduced at this time. In this method, the straight part with simple structure is directly welded by robot, and the circular part of the complex linear structure is constructed by manual welding, which greatly improves the construction efficiency of the liquid storage tank. In addition, the welding workload of the six types of middle assemblies split out is balanced as much as possible, and the construction time of each component is not much different, which can provide components for the next process in a rhythmic manner, greatly improving the construction efficiency of the liquid storage tank; since welding robots are used in the construction process of each type of middle assembly, the scope of use of welding robots is expanded, thereby greatly reducing the construction cost of the liquid storage tank.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
