[0025] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.
[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] PCTC (Car and Truck Carrier) ships have a large number of deck columns. After they are manufactured, they need special brackets to be transferred to the painting plant for spraying, and then transferred to the general assembly platform site.
[0028] For example, an 8,600-car PCTC vessel has over 240 deck columns. After structural welding is completed in the fabrication workshop, these columns require installation of supporting blocks and other outfitting accessories. For this reason, completed columns cannot be stacked to avoid damage to the outfitting. Because each column is over 2 meters tall, they are currently transported by placing them flat on two main transport gantries to ensure safety.
[0029] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that the main drawbacks of this method are that it occupies a large number of gantry frames for transporting the entire section. The gantry frame itself is only 10 mm long, which takes up a lot of space for transporting the columns. Furthermore, since the columns are transported flat, the outfitting accessories attached to the columns are easily damaged during transportation.
[0030] In order to avoid damage to the column outfitting accessories during transportation and improve the safety of the columns during transportation, the present application provides a special bracket for transporting PCTC ship deck columns.
[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 This application is described in further detail.
[0032] The embodiment of the present application discloses a special bracket for transporting PCTC ship deck columns. Figure 1 、 Figure 2A special bracket for transporting PCTC ship deck columns includes a horizontally arranged support base plate 1. In some embodiments, the support base plate 1 is made of a patterned steel plate. Support legs 11 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom wall of the support base plate 1. The top ends of the support legs 11 are connected to the support base plate 1, and the support legs 11 are used to support and stabilize the support base plate 1. When the support base plate 1 is transported and moved by a flatbed truck, the height of the flatbed truck must be greater than the height of the support legs. Therefore, when the flatbed truck is located at the bottom end of the support base plate 1 to support and move the support base plate 1, the bottom ends of the support legs 11 can be separated from the ground.
[0033] There are also wooden blocks 12 between the supporting base plate 1 and the flatbed truck. There are multiple wooden blocks 12 between the supporting base plate 1 and the flatbed truck. The top ends of the multiple wooden blocks 12 abut against the bottom wall of the supporting base plate 1 and the bottom ends of the multiple wooden blocks 12 abut against the flatbed truck. The supporting base plate 1 and the flatbed truck are separated by the wooden blocks 12, thereby reducing damage between the flatbed truck and the supporting base plate 1.
[0034] A support beam 13 is also provided at an angle at the bottom end of the support base plate 1 relative to the support leg 11. One end of the support beam 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the support base plate 1, and the other end of the support beam 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support leg 11, so that the support beam 13 is provided at an angle. The support beam 13 reinforces the stability of the support leg 11.
[0035] The side wall of the supporting base plate 1 is also fixedly connected with a hanging code 14. There are multiple hanging codes 14 on the side wall of the supporting beam 13. The multiple hanging codes 14 are relatively arranged on the side walls of the supporting base plate 1. The supporting base plate 1 can be hoisted by the set hanging codes 14, which facilitates the installation and movement of the supporting base plate 1.
[0036] In some embodiments, the width of the support base 1 is 2.5 m, the length of the support base 1 is 5.5 m, and the height of the legs 11 is 2 m.
[0037] In some other embodiments, the side wall of the supporting base plate 1 is further provided with a sub-connector, and a mother connector is fixedly connected to the side of the back ion connector of the supporting base plate 1. When the two supporting base plates 1 are relatively connected and expanded, the sub-connector can cooperate and be fixed with the mother connector, thereby expanding, connecting and fixing the two adjacent supporting base plates 1.
[0038] In a specific embodiment, the sub-connector is a first vertically disposed connecting piece, and the mother connecting piece is two second vertically disposed connecting pieces. The first connecting piece is fixedly connected to the support base plate 1, and the second connecting piece is fixedly connected to the support base plate 1, and the spacing between two adjacent second connecting pieces is no less than the thickness of the first connecting piece. When two adjacent support base plates 1 are relatively extended and connected, the first connecting piece extends between the two opposing second connecting pieces, and the first connecting piece and the two opposing second connecting pieces are fixedly connected by bolts, thereby connecting and expanding the two adjacent support base plates 1.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 A pipe column 2 is vertically provided at the top of the support base plate 1, and the bottom end of the pipe column 2 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the support base plate 1. In some embodiments, the pipe column 2 is a cylindrical structure, and the outer diameter of the pipe column 2 is smaller than the minimum width of the inner opening of the deck column 3, so that the pipe column 2 can extend into the interior of the deck column 3, thereby providing support for the deck column 3 and supporting the deck column 3 to be placed vertically on the support base plate 1.
[0040] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the pipe column 2 is fixedly connected with a rib 21, which is arranged along the radial direction of the pipe column 2, and multiple ribs 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the pipe column 2. The ribs 21 are arranged on the outer wall of the pipe column 2, so that when the pipe column 2 and the ribs 21 extend into the interior of the deck column 3, the ribs 21 can reduce the rotation of the deck column 3, thereby improving safety during transportation.
[0041] In some embodiments, the pipe string 2 is made of a steel pipe with a diameter of 168 mm and a wall thickness of 8 mm. According to the height and structural characteristics of the deck column 3, the height of the pipe string 2 is designed to be 2 m.
[0042] A plurality of pipe columns 2 are relatively arranged on the supporting base plate 1 , and the distance between two adjacent pipe columns 2 is greater than the width of two deck columns 3 .
