Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of marine technology, and more particularly to a compass deck for a car carrier and the car carrier itself. Background Technology

[0002] The compass deck is the highest open deck of a ship, located above the bridge. It is equipped with masts, signal light racks, various antennas, searchlights, and standard compasses.

[0003] Because car carriers have multiple decks, all of which are continuous, they generally lack beam arches to facilitate car loading and unloading. To allow for a slope on the exposed decks and natural drainage, recent car carriers have been equipped with zigzag compass decks.

[0004] like Figure 5 As shown, the 13' plate of the zigzag compass deck is prone to deformation, making on-site construction inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a compass deck for a car carrier and a car carrier in its embodiments.

[0006] This application provides a compass deck for a car carrier. The compass deck has an arc-shaped structure with wings on both sides of the bridge and is arched upwards.

[0007] Each panel of the compass deck has an upward-curving arc to prevent the panels from collapsing and forming pits that accumulate water.

[0008] In some embodiments, the curvature of the compass deck is matched to the required height of the transport vehicle.

[0009] In some embodiments, the upward bulge of each panel is between 5° and 15° to ensure a balance between drainage performance and structural strength.

[0010] In some embodiments, the wing portion of the compass deck is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcing ribs are evenly distributed along the length direction of the wing.

[0012] This application provides a car carrier equipped with a compass deck as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0013] Compared with the traditional zigzag compass deck design, the compass deck of the above embodiments of this application can prevent deformation, save processing methods such as fire straightening caused by deformation, prevent water accumulation, effectively improve on-site construction efficiency, and shorten the construction cycle.

[0020] In order to gain a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this application, the implementation of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

[0021] In the embodiments described in this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be an electrical connection, or a connection between two internal components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above term according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and "third" used in the embodiments of this application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first," "second," and "third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted. It should be understood that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and "third" can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0023] This application provides a compass deck for a car carrier, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the compass deck 2 has an arc-shaped structure with wing 21 on both sides of the cab, and the compass deck 2 has an upward arch shape.

[0024] The compass deck 2 features an overall curved structure, a design that better suits the specific needs of car carriers and is also more aesthetically pleasing. Split wings 21 are located on both sides of the bridge, increasing deck stability and providing additional protection for the bridge. The entire compass deck 2 has an upward arched shape, which helps improve aerodynamic performance, reduce drag, and increase the ship's navigation efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the compass deck 2 is provided with a longitudinal structure 11 and a transverse structure 12 for support. The longitudinal structure 11 and the transverse structure 12 cooperate to support the deck to form a rectangular grid 13.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, each grid 13 of the compass deck 2 has an upward-curving arc to prevent the grid 13 from collapsing downwards and forming a depression where water can accumulate. The arc of the grid 13 of the compass deck 2 is compared with that of the grid 13' of a traditional zigzag compass deck. Figure 4 As shown.

[0027] The upward-curving arc effectively prevents the deck 13 from collapsing and forming pits due to heavy loads or other external forces during long-term use, thus avoiding water accumulation. Water accumulation not only affects the normal use of the deck but can also lead to corrosion and damage to the deck structure, shortening its service life. Through this unique arc design, the compass deck 2 significantly improves its durability and reliability while ensuring drainage performance.

[0028] In some embodiments, the curvature of the compass deck 2 is matched to the required height of the transport vehicle.

[0029] The curvature of Compass Deck 2 is matched to the height required for transporting cars. The primary function of the car carrier—transporting cars—was fully considered in the design of Compass Deck 2. Different types of cars have different heights, and to ensure that cars can be driven, parked, and loaded / unloaded smoothly on the deck, the curvature of Compass Deck 2 has been calculated to accommodate the height requirements of various common cars. This matching not only ensures the convenience of car transportation but also optimizes the ship's space utilization, allowing for a more rational allocation and use of deck space, thus improving the ship's transportation efficiency and economic benefits.

[0030] Meanwhile, this curved design also takes into account the ship's navigation stability and safety. During navigation, cars on the deck are affected by various external forces, such as wave impact and wind. By matching the curvature of the compass deck 2 with the height of the cars, these external forces can be better dispersed, reducing the impact on the cars and deck structure, thereby improving the ship's stability and safety in complex sea conditions and providing reliable protection for car transportation.

[0031] In some embodiments, the upward bulge of each panel 13 is between 5° and 15° to ensure a balance between drainage performance and structural strength.

[0032] The upward bulge of each panel 13 is between 5° and 15° to ensure a balance between drainage performance and structural strength. This range of bulges is the optimal design parameter range derived from extensive experimental and simulation analyses.

[0033] In terms of drainage performance: When the curvature is between 5° and 15°, the surface of Grid 13 can form an effective drainage slope. During navigation, rainwater or other liquids can quickly flow along the curvature to the drains at the deck edge, preventing liquid from accumulating on the surface of Grid 13 for extended periods. Especially under adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or splashing waves, this design effectively reduces deck water accumulation, lowers the risk of the ship's center of gravity shifting, and improves the ship's navigational stability.

[0034] Regarding structural strength: While excessive curvature improves drainage, it can reduce the strength of the lattice structure, making it more susceptible to deformation under heavy loads or impacts. A curvature range of 5° to 15° ensures sufficient structural strength for the lattice 13 while maintaining good drainage. This design allows the lattice 13 to remain stable under various loads during installation and use, preventing collapse or deformation, thus extending the service life of the compass deck 2 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0035] Furthermore, this curved design also takes into account the overall aesthetics of the deck and its harmony with other structures on the ship. While meeting functional requirements, it makes the compass deck 2 appear more streamlined and natural, matching the overall design style of the car carrier and enhancing the ship's overall aesthetics.

[0036] In some embodiments, the wing portion of the compass deck 2 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs.

[0037] In some embodiments, the reinforcing ribs are evenly distributed along the length of the wing, with a spacing of 200mm to 300mm between adjacent ribs. Each reinforcing rib has a height of 50mm to 70mm and a width of 20mm to 30mm. These reinforcing ribs significantly improve the structural strength and rigidity of the wing section, effectively resisting bending and torsional stresses caused by external forces such as wave impact and wind during ship navigation. By rationally arranging the number, spacing, height, and width of the reinforcing ribs, the amount of material used can be minimized while ensuring the structural strength of the wing, reducing the overall weight of the compass deck 2, thereby improving the ship's navigation performance and economy.

[0038] This application provides a car carrier that is equipped with a compass deck 2 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0039] Compared with the traditional zigzag compass deck design, the compass deck of the above embodiments of this application can prevent deformation, save processing methods such as fire straightening caused by deformation, prevent water accumulation, effectively improve on-site construction efficiency, and shorten the construction cycle.

[0040] Since the technical solution of this application involves the deck structure of a ship, the descriptions of "upper" and "lower" in the embodiments are all based on the relationship of upper and lower with the direction of gravity as the lower.

[0041] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application can be combined arbitrarily without conflict.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
