TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of shipbuilding and design, and particularly relates to a method for setting an inner shell corner line. BACKGROUND
[0002] The inner shell corner line is a key element in the structural design of a double-hulled oil tanker, directly affecting the safety, structural strength, construction process and operational efficiency of the ship.
[0003] The inner shell corner line is the transition area between the longitudinal bulkhead and the bottom or top edge tank, and bears the task of transmitting longitudinal and transverse loads. During ship navigation, the hull is subjected to various loads such as wave impact, cargo pressure and mechanical vibration, and reasonable design of the corner line can effectively disperse stress and avoid local stress concentration leading to steel plate cracking or deformation. If the corner line is not designed properly, it may lead to structural fatigue and even cause catastrophic accidents.
[0004] The geometry of the corner line directly affects the available space of the cargo tank. Reasonable design of the corner line (such as using a circular arc transition or a beveled corner) can maximize the cargo tank volume and increase the cargo capacity. At the same time, a smooth corner line helps to reduce cargo residue, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and meeting the MARPOL Convention requirements for oil tanker cargo tank cleanliness.
[0005] Due to the complex stress variation in the corner line area, which bears alternating loads for a long time, its design directly affects the fatigue life of the ship. The design of the corner line needs to take into account the construction process, such as the feasibility of cold bending or hot bending forming. Reasonable corner line shape can reduce processing difficulty and improve construction efficiency. At the same time, the corner line area is usually provided with a maintenance access (width ≥ 600 mm) for daily inspection and maintenance, meeting the inspection requirements of classification societies (such as DNV, ABS).
[0006] The inner shell corner line must meet international standards such as IMO MARPOL Convention and IACS CSR (Common Structural Rules) to ensure the environmental compliance of the ship. For example, the position of the corner line of a double-hulled oil tanker must meet the minimum double-hull spacing requirement (such as ≥ 2 m) to prevent oil tank leakage from polluting the marine environment.
[0007] Therefore, the design of the corner line is a key link that cannot be ignored in ship engineering. Currently, there is no method for setting the inner shell corner line. SUMMARY

[0011] When the lines shrink inward and the intersection point Psn2 is not the minimum point, a vertical line is drawn downward from the minimum point Psn3 to intersect with the inner shell inclined plate to form a new inner shell fold angle line.
[0012] Wherein, FRsn is the line of the rib position number n of FRs to the bow.
[0013] S4, after gradually completing all the lines of the cargo hold area to the bow, the process is ended.
[0014] S5, introduce the lines of FRw to the stern into the initial frame according to the rib position number one by one, at this time the lower inclined plate will shrink inward at an angle R according to the lines, offset the FRwn rib position line inward by 2000mm to form the offset line FRwn', the offset line FRwn' intersects with the inner bottom of the ship to form intersection point Pwn1, the offset line FRwn' intersects with the inner shell of the ship to form intersection point Pwn2, the line connecting Pwn1 and Pwn2 forms a new inner shell inclined plate, when the intersection point is determined as the minimum point of the lines and the lower inclined plate, a perpendicular line is drawn upward through Pwn2 to form a new inner shell 4frn.
[0015] When the lines shrink inward and the intersection point Pwn2 is not the minimum point, a vertical line is drawn downward from the minimum point Pwn3 to intersect with the inner shell inclined plate to form a new inner shell fold angle line.
[0016] Wherein, FRwn is the line of the rib position number n of FRw to the stern.
[0017] S6, in order to be able to increase the cargo hold, when the stern gradually flat, with Pwn1 tilt up and the inner shell Pwn2, Pwn1 and Pwn2 form a straight line with the type line offset line FRwn' distance is far, at this time can be with the intersection of the inner shell and the type line offset line Pwn2' downward tilt line, shorten the offset line and the new inner shell line spacing, with the inner shell forming intersection Pwn4, at this time Pwn4 and the outer plate distance is less than 2m, in the case of meeting the specification, the maximum capacity.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] A method for setting the inner shell corner line, the specific steps of which are as follows: S1, based on ship design requirements and the total ballast water volume, determine the double bottom height as L1, the double hull width as L2, and the lower ramp inclination angle as R. Draw the initial border, as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The lower inflection point is offset downwards by 2m to form the inner bottom limiting line M1, and the upper inflection point is offset outwards by 2m to form the inner shell limiting line point M2. This is to meet the requirements of the IMO MARPOL Convention. Figure 1 As shown.
[0028] S2 imports all the hull lines in the parallel midbody region of the ship into the initial border one by one according to the rib number. The ship's hull lines become thinner from the middle to both ends. The process stops when the hull lines imported towards the bow and stern intersect with the restriction lines M1 or M2, defined as FRs and FRw. The inner hull bend lines drawn by the hull lines within the middle range of these intersecting hull lines are consistent with the initial inner hull lines. For example... Figure 2 As shown.
[0029] S3, as Figure 3 As shown, the FRs profile towards the bow is imported into the initial frame one by one according to the rib number. At this time, the lower sloping plate will shrink inward at an angle R according to the profile. The FRsn rib profile is offset inward by 2000mm. The offset line FRsn' intersects with the ship's inner bottom at point Psn1. The new inner shell sloping plate 2frn intersects with the offset line FRsn' at point Psn2. When this intersection point is determined to be the minimum point between the profile and the lower sloping plate, a vertical line is drawn vertically upward through Psn2 to form a new inner shell 4frn. When the profile shrinks inward and the intersection point Psn2 is not the minimum point, a vertical line is drawn downward from the minimum point Psn3 as the base point to intersect with the inner shell sloping plate to form a new bend line.
[0030] S4, gradually completing all the shaped lines from the cargo hold area to the bow, then ends.
[0031] S5, such as Figure 4As shown, the FRw profile to the tail of the rib position number is introduced into the initial frame one by one, at this time the lower inclined plate will be according to the profile to the angle R inward shrink. The FRwn rib position profile is offset inward 2000mm, forming the offset line FRwn', offset line FRwn' with the ship bottom forming intersection Pwn1, from Pwn1 upward with the new inner shell inclined plate 2frn and offset line FRwn' forming intersection Pwn2, determine this intersection as the minimum point of the profile and the lower inclined plate, through Pwn2 vertically upward do perpendicular, form the new inner shell 4frn. When the profile inward shrink, intersection Pwn2 is not the minimum point, with the minimum point Pwn3 as the base point do perpendicular line downward and the inner shell inclined plate intersection form a new corner line.
[0032] S6, as Figure 5 shown, in order to be able to increase the cargo hold capacity, when the tail profile gradually flat, with Pwn1 inclined upward and inner shell forming Pwn2, Pwn1 and Pwn2 form a straight line with the profile offset line distance far, at this time can be with the intersection of the inner shell and the profile offset line Pwn2' downward do inclined line shorten the distance between the offset line and the new inner shell line, with the inner shell forming intersection Pwn4, at this time Pwn4 and the outer plate distance is less than 2m. In order to meet the requirements of IMO MARPOL convention, at the same time increase the cargo hold capacity, can be set up a small box between the inner shell inclined plate and the inner bottom, high M3, width M4.1600mm
