[0036] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, the above description should not be considered as limiting, but only as an example of an embodiment.

[0041] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Specific embodiments of the present application are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments applied for are merely examples of the present application, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that obscure the present application. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details applied for herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely serve as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in a variety of ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0043] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0044] The purpose of the embodiment of the present application is to provide a methanol filling hose saddle, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the methanol filling hose saddle includes a saddle base plate 1, a column 3, a cross brace 4, a saddle plate 200, a lubricating layer 5 and two guardrails 300.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the saddle bottom plate 1 is detachably connected to the ship through the base 100. Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the base 100 includes a first L-profile 101 and two second L-profiles 102 that are welded together. The two second L-profiles 102 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first L-profile 101 to form a relief portion for avoiding the column 3, thereby enhancing structural stability and facilitating the installation of the column 3.

[0046] Specifically, a limiting hole is provided on the saddle bottom plate 1, and a plug hole corresponding to the limiting hole is provided on the second profile, and a plug 2 capable of being inserted into the limiting hole is provided in the plug hole. The base 100 is welded to the deck surface and used in conjunction with the saddle bottom plate 1, ensuring that the plug 2 connects the two, so as to realize a detachable connection between the saddle bottom plate 1 and the base 100.

[0047] One end of the column 3 is connected to the saddle bottom plate 1, and one end of the cross brace 4 is connected to the column 3. The column 3 is welded with the saddle bottom plate 1, the cross brace 4 and the saddle plate 200, and is the main component that bears the forces of the saddle in all directions.

[0048] The two ends of the saddle plate 200 are respectively connected to the other end of the column 3 and the other end of the cross brace 4, and are used to guide and support the hose 6. They are the main components for ensuring the bending radius of the hose 6 and guiding the direction of the hose 6.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the saddle plate 200 includes a flat plate 201 and a curved plate 202 , one end of the flat plate 201 is connected to the other end of the column 3 , and the other end of the flat plate 201 is connected to the curved plate 202 , and the other end of the curved plate 202 is connected to the other end of the cross brace 4 .

[0050] Specifically, the bending radius of the curved plate 202 is ≥ 3 times the maximum bending radius of the hose 6. That is, R1 ≥ 3R2. This is to adapt to the use of hoses 6 of different diameters under any working conditions, and to ensure the minimum bending radius of the hose 6 to protect the safety of the hose 6. Under the joint action of the horizontal support 4 and the column 3, the external force impact under various working conditions is effectively resisted, and the minimum bending radius of the hose 6 is ensured to guide the direction of the hose 6.

[0051] The lubricating layer 5 is provided on the saddle plate 200 to reduce the friction between the hose 6 and the saddle plate 200. The lubricating layer 5 is a Teflon pad, which is suitable for use in a methanol filling environment due to its excellent chemical resistance and low friction coefficient.

[0052] The Teflon pad (PTFE) is a lubricating member between the hose 6 and the saddle plate 200, and its curved surface is completely in contact with the saddle plate 200, thereby avoiding direct friction between the hose 6 and the saddle plate 200 and protecting the safety of the hose 6 during use.

[0053] Specifically, the saddle plate 200 is made of Teflon pad (PTFE) with a small friction coefficient. During the fueling process, in the presence of waves, the lubricating layer 5 enables the relative movement between the fueling facility and the receiving ship, which is conducive to the free movement of the hose 6. In addition, the material has anti-corrosion ability when methanol leaks.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two guardrails 300 are arranged on both sides of the saddle plate 200 to limit the use position of the hose 6 on the saddle plate 200, and a guide groove is formed between the two guardrails 300. The guardrail 300 includes a first rod 301, a second rod 302, a third rod 303, a fourth rod 304 and a fifth rod 305. One end of the first rod 301 is connected to the plane plate, one end of the second rod 302 is connected to the other end of the first rod 301, one end of the third rod 303 is connected to the other end of the second rod 302, one end of the fourth rod 304 is connected to the other end of the third rod 303, and one end of the fifth rod 305 is connected to the other end of the fourth rod 304. A stable guardrail 300 structure is formed by continuous connection, which effectively limits the use position of the hose 6 on the saddle plate 200.

[0055] The bending radius R4 of the third rod 303 is made parallel to the bending radius R1 of the curved plate 202 to ensure the minimum placement position and activity space of the hose 6, that is, R4 ≥ R1 + 2R2. The bending radius R3 of the second rod 302 is the transition radius of the transition connection between the first rod 301 and the third rod 303; the bending radius R5 of the fourth rod 304 is the transition radius of the transition connection between the third rod 303 and the fifth rod 305. The first rod 301 and the fifth rod 305 are respectively welded and fixed above the saddle plate 200, and are used to prevent the hose 6 from swinging.

[0056] Through the above contents, the present application ensures the minimum bending radius and the safety of various parameters of the hose 6 during use, provides technical support for new ships and reconstruction of existing ships, and facilitates construction.

[0057] The base 100 is welded to the deck surface of the ship, and the saddle bottom plate 1, the column 3, the cross brace 4 and the saddle plate 200 are welded to ensure the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0058] Before installing this application, the staff shall ensure that the working area is clean and tidy without obstacles. And prepare the required hose saddle and related tools, including saddle base plate 1, column 3, cross brace 4, saddle plate 200, lubrication layer 5, guardrail 300 and other components, as well as welding equipment and installation tools.

[0059] During installation, according to the design and size of the ship deck, select a suitable location to install the base 100. Place the base 100 at the selected location to ensure that the base 100 fits tightly with the deck surface. Use welding equipment to weld the base 100 to the deck surface to ensure stability and reliability.

[0060] Insert the saddle bottom plate 1 into the hole of the base 100 and fix it in a suitable position using the pin 2 to connect the saddle bottom plate 1 with the base 100. Weld the uprights 3 to the saddle bottom plate 1 and the cross braces 4 to the uprights 3 to ensure that the connection between the cross braces 4 and the uprights 3 is firm.

[0061] The saddle plate 200 is then welded to the column 3 and the cross brace 4 to ensure that the saddle plate 200 is tightly connected to the column 3 and the cross brace 4. A lubricating layer 5 is then laid on the saddle plate 200 to reduce the friction between the hose 6 and the saddle plate 200 and improve the system operation efficiency.

[0062] As needed, install the guardrail 300 around the saddle to limit the range of motion of the hose 6 and ensure safe operation. Guide the hose 6 onto the saddle plate 200 to ensure that the hose 6 is in good contact with the lubricating layer 5. Check the position and connection of the hose 6 to ensure that it is correctly and firmly installed. Ensure that the guardrail 300 is firmly connected to the saddle plate 200 and will not loosen or fall off due to the movement of the hose 6.

[0063] When the hose saddle is installed, perform a comprehensive inspection to ensure that all components are installed correctly and connected securely. Perform a functional test on the hose saddle, including the guidance and movement of the hose 6, to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0064] Finally, after completing the installation of the hose saddle, clean up the work site to ensure that there are no tools or materials left behind. Dispose of the garbage and waste generated during the installation process to ensure a clean environment. The above is the installation method of the hose saddle. During the installation process, please be sure to follow the operating instructions to ensure that the installation work is completed safely and effectively.

[0065] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. The protection scope of the present application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present application within the essence and protection scope of the present application, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
