Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to the field of ship hull window design, in particular to a method for manufacturing a ship window. Background technology:
[0002] Due to aesthetic requirements for ro-ro passenger ships, the front wall of the superstructure is often designed with a curved shape and is equipped with numerous windows (usually flat windows). In the traditional ship design process, the interior design department usually submits the window opening positioning data (the openings required for window installation) and the opening dimensions to the hull design department via a paper agreement. The hull design department then uses this agreement to carry out the window opening and marking design.
[0003] Ro-Ro Passenger ferries require high precision and aesthetics for the installation ring. Traditional design methods, due to the curved front wall, create a nearly parallelogram-like shape for the window openings after expansion. Internal angles and inclinations are manually calculated for the interior design, leading to the risk of miscalculation. When the hull's front wall window openings are designed based on the agreed-upon drawings, interference checking between the curved openings in the hull compartment and the windows in the interior compartment is impossible because the openings in the AM design software's surface model are invisible. This means that the interior compartment window design and the hull compartment's front wall opening design are performed independently, without cross-checking, which can easily lead to problems such as mismatches between the window and the outer panel openings.
[0004] There is an urgent need for a method for manufacturing ship windows, which can help solve the technical problem in the prior art that the lack of a design software cannot loft the window size on the curved surface, resulting in distortion in the size during production. Summary of the invention:
[0005] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a ship window, in which a parallelogram is constructed by using the center point of the window hole, the waterline and the longitudinal section line, and finally the lofting manufacturing is performed.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a ship window, the method for manufacturing a ship front window comprising:
[0042] Determine the center point of the window according to the size of the hull window;
[0043] Constructing a waterline and a longitudinal section line according to the center point of the window hole to form a spatial cross line;
[0044] offsetting the waterline and the longitudinal section line to form a parallelogram plane;
[0045] The ship window is manufactured according to the size of the parallelogram plane.
[0046] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of a method for manufacturing a ship window. The ship window dimensions are a point in space within the overall ship coordinate system. This data can be directly obtained from modeling software such as AM. This center point has three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, and Z). Drawing is performed on the curved surface of the ship, following the waterline and section line. Drawing along the curved surface using the Y and Z values is then offset. The curved surface is no longer considered and is converted to a plane. After offsetting, a parallelogram plane is formed. Because the glass window is converted to a plane after the opening, and is positioned at the four corners of the parallelogram, it can be ordered for cutting.
[0047] In one embodiment, the dimensions include side lengths and angles, as well as cut bevels.
[0048] In one embodiment, after the step of manufacturing the ship window according to the size of the parallelogram plane, the method further comprises:
[0049] A hole is opened on the curved front wall of the flat opening plate of the front window of the hull chamber;
[0050] The size-manufactured ship window is installed on the opening on the arc-shaped front wall.
[0051] In this embodiment, a specific implementation method of forming matching holes on a hull is provided.
[0052] In one embodiment, the holes are opened on the curved front wall of the flat perforated plate of the front window of the hull chamber by making perforated line data or perforated pattern.
[0053] In one embodiment, after the step of offsetting the waterline and the longitudinal section line to form a parallelogram plane, the method further comprises:
[0054] The four vertex corners of the parallelogram plane are rounded.
[0055] In one embodiment, the openings on the curved front wall are made by measuring the distance from the midline and the waterline, and the dimensions of the four top corners for making the fillets are provided to make the top corner arc dimensions.
[0056] In this embodiment, a specific implementation method for opening a hole in the hull in conjunction with the above-mentioned window is provided, and a matching rounded corner is used to form a matching opening.
[0057] In one embodiment, a hole is opened in the arc-shaped front wall to arrange a peripheral reinforcement structure.
[0058] In one embodiment, the ship window manufacturing method is used for hull windows of a ro-ro passenger ship.
[0059] The overall process can be summarized as follows:
[0060] 1. Modeling of the front window plane opening plate
[0061] (a) According to the window hole positioning data and opening size provided by the interior decoration room, determine the position of the window hole center point on the curved front wall, and make the center horizontal and vertical cross lines
[0062] (b) Shift the center waterline of the window aperture up and down, and shift the longitudinal cross line left and right, according to the size of the window aperture. Take the intersection of the four shifted lines to make a parallelogram-shaped planar plate. The size of this plate should match the size of the window aperture, and the four corners should fit the curved front wall.
[0063] (c) The modeled front window plane opening plate is fed back to the interior decoration room for verification. If it does not meet the requirements, the previous steps are repeated until the window layout requirements are met;
[0064] 2. Cut the front window opening plan in the interior decoration room and extract the side length, angle or inclination data of the parallelogram for window ordering;
[0065] 3. The hull room is opened on the curved front wall according to the front window plane opening plate, the opening marking data or opening pattern is prepared, and the surrounding reinforcement structure is arranged.
[0066] Beneficial effects:
[0067] This method adds an intermediate medium board during the design process, which effectively avoids the situation where the window and the window opening cannot be checked for interference during the design process. At the same time, it can avoid the mismatch between the window and the window opening during on-site installation of the window, thereby improving the accuracy of the designed product, reducing subsequent on-site adjustments, and shortening the window installation time.
[0068] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
