Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ship structural materials, and particularly to a steel mesh reinforced composite material structure applied to internal support structures of a ship hull (such as keels, bottom plates, support columns, etc.), belonging to the technical field of lightweight, high-strength and anti-corrosion structural materials for ships. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of marine fisheries and offshore transportation, the demand for lightweight, high-strength and anti-corrosion structural materials for ships is continuously increasing. In the prior art, although steel plates and aluminum alloy plates have high strength, they are easily corroded by seawater and have a large weight; although glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) or carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) have the characteristics of corrosion resistance and lightweight, under the long-term action of the marine environment, there are still problems such as fatigue damage, creep deformation and interface delamination.
[0003] For ship structural materials, it is necessary to balance lightweight, corrosion resistance and long-term service stability. In the prior art, the technical solution of patent document CN1915739: ABS extruded plates are used for the upper and lower shells of a composite hull, and its filling layer is foamed polyurethane, which is combined through a fiber bonding layer, having the advantages of integral molding, strength improvement and cavity isolation. However, its fiber bonding layer is limited to a single fiber type and lacks the support of a composite mesh skeleton, making it difficult to meet the structural requirements of high-load parts.
[0004] High-density polyethylene (HDPE) has been applied in the field of ship outer plates. Document CN115197490A discloses an HDPE composite material containing various modified nanofibers (carbon fiber, aramid fiber, silicon nitride fiber) and antioxidants and ultraviolet inhibitors, significantly improving the mechanical properties under high temperature and harsh environments. However, this material is still mainly an integral plastic body, lacking an internal metal or structural mesh support, and is prone to creep and fatigue damage under the long-term action of waves and temperature cycles.
[0005] Although the above technical solutions improve the weather resistance and mechanical properties of the materials, in key stress-bearing parts such as keels and bottom plates, it is still difficult to meet the structural requirements of both high-rigidity support and multi-layer interface energy absorption, and at the same time, it lacks effective anti-corrosion protection and recyclable design.
[0006] In summary, the existing internal structural materials of ship hulls generally have defects such as low creep strength, short fatigue life, poor anti-corrosion performance and low recycling rate, and there is an urgent need to provide a support structural material solution with high strength, anti-corrosion, durability and recyclability. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the following technical problems existing in the existing thermoplastic or fiber-reinforced composite materials in the internal support structure of a ship hull: The material has serious creep deformation and is difficult to meet the requirements of long-term continuous loads; The interfacial adhesion is insufficient, and the fibers, plastics and metal framework are prone to delamination; The contact between the internal metal framework and the external environment leads to rapid corrosion.
[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: An internal structure support structure solution for a ship made of a new material, characterized by comprising: A three-dimensional metal mesh framework (1), the metal mesh is made of galvanized aluminum steel wire, stainless steel wire or galvanized steel wire, the diameter of the metal wire is 0.5 - 5 mm, and the mesh size is 1 - 50 mm; The surface of the metal mesh framework (1) is roughened by shot blasting or sandblasting to improve its interfacial adhesion strength with the composite material; In the mesh holes of the metal mesh framework (1), a reinforcing fiber layer (2) is filled, and the fiber is one or more of basalt fiber, glass fiber, Kevlar or carbon fiber, and is distributed in a non-directional laying or cross-weaving manner; Using a thermoplastic material, the thermoplastic material (including but not limited to polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, etc., mainly polyethylene) is injected between the metal mesh framework (1) and the reinforcing fiber layer (2) through a melt injection process, so that the three form an integrated composite structure; The thickness of the plastic layer on the flow-facing surface of the composite structure board is 2 - 5 mm, and the thickness of the plastic layer on the back flow-facing surface is 0.5 - 2 mm.
[0009] Further, foamed polystyrene material is filled between the metal mesh framework (1) and the fiber layer or in the inner cavity of the composite structure for buffering, heat insulation and weight reduction.
[0010] Further, 5% - 20% of ultraviolet-resistant antioxidant additives are further incorporated into the thermoplastic material.
[0011] Further, a barrier coating is provided between the reinforcing fiber layer (2) and the metal mesh framework (1) to enhance the bonding effect between the fiber and the plastic and prevent the fiber from absorbing water.
[0012] Further, after the composite structure is injection-molded or cast, a weather-resistant coating is sprayed on the surface to further improve the marine environment resistance performance.
[0013] Adopting the above scheme, the present invention has the following advantages: The metal mesh framework (1) provides mechanical restraint for the creep of the plastic, improving the dimensional stability under long-term loads; The surface roughening treatment and multi-layer fiber reinforcement improve the interfacial adhesion and prevent delamination failure; The metal mesh material itself uses a highly corrosion-resistant alloy and is coated with a plastic layer, enhancing the anti-corrosion performance; The application of the foaming material reduces the weight and provides thermal insulation and cushioning; The thermoplastic material can be recycled and reprocessed, realizing environmental protection and sustainability.

[0020] Laying of the reinforcing fiber layer: Lay a layer of fiberglass cloth (fiber diameter ≈ 10 μm, grammage 200 g / m²) on both sides of the roughened skeleton respectively, with the fiber direction arranged at a cross of 45° to ensure the mechanical properties of the composite material in all directions.
