Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically to a modular honeycomb core panel ship and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional shipbuilding typically employs the welding of heavy, solid steel plates to form a single hull. This structure presents numerous problems in actual production and use: First, steel consumption is extremely high; a typical 10,000-ton ship can consume thousands of tons of steel, accounting for approximately 30% of its actual load capacity, directly leading to high shipbuilding costs. Second, the manufacturing process relies on complex hull forming and manual welding techniques, resulting in a lengthy construction cycle; the construction of a 10,000-ton ship usually takes several months to half a year, leading to low production efficiency. Finally, the ship's heavy weight results in high fuel consumption during navigation, and traditional single-hull or simple double-hull structures lack independent sealed compartment designs, leading to poor buoyancy. Once a compartment is damaged, it can easily cause a sinking accident. In addition, fuel-powered ships also suffer from high noise levels and severe environmental pollution.

[0003] Existing lightweight ships mostly use lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys and composite materials, which can reduce the hull weight, but the material costs are high and the structural strength is insufficient to meet the navigation requirements of large ships. Although modular shipbuilding technology is applied, the modules are still traditional steel structures, which cannot solve the fundamental problems of high steel consumption and high energy consumption. In addition, existing ship energy systems are mostly driven by single fuel oil or simple new energy auxiliary power supply, lacking intelligent energy distribution logic and low energy utilization. Energy storage devices are not precisely matched with the ship's operating conditions in terms of capacity and temperature adaptability, making it difficult to meet the stable operation requirements in the complex marine environment.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a modular honeycomb core panel ship and its construction method that can balance lightweight, high strength, anti-sinking performance, low energy consumption, and high manufacturing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a modular honeycomb core panel ship and its construction method, which can balance lightweight, high strength, anti-sinking performance, low energy consumption, and high manufacturing efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a modular honeycomb core panel ship, comprising a plurality of honeycomb core panel modules, a ship body formed by splicing the honeycomb core panel modules, and a hybrid energy system disposed on the ship body; the honeycomb core panel modules have a honeycomb sandwich structure inside, and the honeycomb sandwich structure, together with the front and back panels of the core panel, forms a plurality of independent sealed compartments; the plurality of honeycomb core panel modules are spliced ​​together by a connecting structure to form a double-shell ship body structure; the hybrid energy system supplies power to the ship's propulsion system.

[0007] Preferably, the honeycomb sandwich structure is hexagonal, formed by stamping thin steel plates into a wave-like shape and then arranging them regularly.

[0008] Preferably, the density of the honeycomb core panel module is less than that of water, and it has a honeycomb sandwich structure inside.

[0009] Preferably, the hybrid energy system includes solar power generation components and wind turbine generators, with the solar power generation components installed on the upper deck of the ship's hull and the wind turbine generators installed on both sides of the ship's hull.

The bottom of the telescopic tower is fixedly connected to the upper deck of the ship, and the height of the tower can be adjusted according to the wind conditions in the sea area.

[0011] Preferably, the hybrid energy system further includes a natural gas power generation supplement system, which consists of a natural gas storage tank, a gas generator, and a gas processing unit. The gas processing unit is used to purify the natural gas and then deliver it to the gas generator.

[0012] Preferably, the ship's main body is also equipped with a ship's electrical system, which has a built-in energy distribution controller; the energy distribution controller distributes electrical energy according to the logic of "solar energy priority, wind energy supplementation, and natural gas as a backup".

[0013] Preferably, the device further includes an energy storage device, which is a lithium iron phosphate battery pack.

[0014] A method for constructing a modular honeycomb core panel ship includes the following steps: S1: Prefabrication of honeycomb core panel modules: The core panel face and bottom plate are made of high-strength steel plates according to standardized dimensions. Thin steel plates are stamped into corrugated shapes to form a honeycomb sandwich structure. The three are connected by pulsed gas metal arc welding to form a steel honeycomb core panel module with independent sealed compartments. Before leaving the factory, the water tightness is tested by immersion. At the same time, 1% of the modules are sampled for finite element analysis or 1:5 scale model physical test to verify the strength under extreme sea conditions. S2: Module splicing and assembly: According to the ship design drawings, steel honeycomb core panel modules are spliced ​​sequentially in the assembly line area (with module positioning area, assembly and welding area and sealing test area) using standardized connection structure. First, they are welded into a three-sided box-shaped structure, and then combined and welded into a double-layer shell structure of the ship's main body. After splicing, the sealing performance of the module connection seams is tested by air pressure test method. At the same time, the compartment division and basic pipeline laying are completed. S3: Functional System Installation: Install solar power generation components and foldable liftable vertical axis wind turbine generators on the upper deck of the ship; install a natural gas energy power generation supplement system, a ship power system with energy distribution controller and a propulsion motor for the drive system in the engine room; complete the wiring connection between each energy component and the power system; reserve heat dissipation channels when installing energy storage devices; S4: Overall Commissioning and Acceptance: Inspect the strength of the ship's main structure, sealing performance, and the operating status of each functional system; simulate different energy conditions on the seagoing vessel to test the energy distribution logic and verify the charging and discharging efficiency and temperature adaptability of the energy storage device; the ship as a whole passes the extreme sea state simulation strength verification, and construction is completed after all tests are passed.

It is formed by stamping thin steel plates with a thickness of 1-3mm into corrugated shapes and arranging them regularly to form a hexagonal honeycomb structure. It is connected to the front panel and the bottom plate by pulsed gas metal arc welding, and the strength of the welded joint is not less than 90% of the strength of the base material. Specifically, the independent sealed compartments are formed by a honeycomb sandwich structure enclosing the panel and bottom plate. The volume of a single compartment is 1-11m³. The compartments are equipped with 0.5-1mm thick sealing partitions to ensure that damage to a single compartment does not affect the sealing of other compartments.

[0022] Specifically, the density of the honeycomb core panel module 2 is less than that of water (≤900kg / m³), and the weight of a single module is only 1 / 5 of that of a traditional steel module of the same volume.

[0024] Specifically, the ship's electrical system has a built-in energy distribution controller, which uses a PLC control module to dynamically distribute electrical energy according to the logic of "solar energy priority, wind energy supplementation, and natural gas as a backup".

[0025] Specifically, an energy storage device is installed, using lithium iron phosphate battery packs; the drive system adopts an all-electric propulsion method, including a permanent magnet synchronous propulsion motor and an adjustable pitch propeller, to achieve stepless speed regulation.
