Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, in particular to a lightweight canopy device for ships. Background Art
[0002] In the deck area of luxury cruise ships and high-end passenger and vehicle ferries, in order to improve the rest comfort of passengers in this area, it is necessary to arrange a large area of canopy based on the deck's superstructure. Conventional canopy consists of a structural frame and a canvas erected on the top of the structural frame. The structural frame is a top structure formed by the staggered connection of multiple longitudinal support tubes and multiple transverse support tubes. One end of the top structure is fixed to the outer wall of the superstructure, and the other end of the top structure is fixed and supported on the deck by multiple column tubes arranged side by side.
[0003] However, the above-mentioned skylight has many rigid structural parts and is heavy, which does not meet the current ship owners' demand for lightweight passenger and vehicle ferries. At the same time, due to the limitation of the flexible strength of the horizontal and vertical support tubes, it cannot be laid out over a large area. In addition, the constructed skylight has a single shape, which affects the tourists' viewing experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a lightweight ship canopy device that meets the lightweight requirements of passenger and vehicle ferries and realizes the needs of large-area, complex-shaped canopies.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a lightweight canopy device for ships, comprising a canvas and a plurality of columns and cable assemblies spaced apart on the outside of the canvas, the canvas having an anchoring long side portion fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper structure of the deck and a plurality of anchoring short sides movably connected to the upper ends of the columns, the lower ends of the columns being hinged to the inner base fixed on the deck, and each of the cable assemblies having an upper connecting ear and a lower connecting ear, the upper connecting ear being hinged to the upper end of the corresponding column, and the lower connecting ear being hinged to the outer base fixed on the deck. The columns, cable assemblies and deck form a triangular supporting structure on the outside of the canvas. Under the tension of the cable assembly, the canvas is stretched on the outside of the upper structure of the deck to complete the large-area layout of the canvas. Since it replaces the structural frame composed of rigid structural parts in the existing technology, the lightweight requirements of the entire canopy device can be guaranteed, and the angle between the corresponding column and the deck can be adjusted by adjusting the length of each cable assembly, so that the height of the anchored short sides of the canvas are different, thereby achieving the artistic effects of various shapes of the canopy.
[0006] A mounting plate is fixed on the outer wall of the upper structure. A plurality of corresponding and connected rope holes are provided on the mounting plate and the anchoring long side along the length direction, and each rope hole is connected and bound by a connecting rope.
[0007] Steel cables are installed between two adjacent columns and between the superstructure and adjacent columns. Tensioners are installed at both ends of the cables. The tensioners have hinged portions at their ends away from the cables. Lateral lugs connected to the hinged portions are fixed to the outer sides of the columns and the outer walls of the superstructure. Adjacent columns and the superstructure are connected to adjacent columns via steel cables. The tensioners apply lateral tension to each column to improve the stability of the columns in the vertical support direction.
[0008] A connecting frame is fixed to the anchoring short side. The connecting frame has a main lug on the side away from the canvas. The main lug is hingedly connected to an inner lug plate fixed to the upper end of the column. The connecting frame increases the force application area at the connection between the anchoring short side of the canvas and the column, reducing the risk of tearing at the canvas connection.
[0009] The side of the connecting frame facing away from the canvas is curved, with the main lug fixed to the center of the curved surface. Auxiliary lugs are fixed to each end of the curved surface. Auxiliary lugs are fixed to the columns on either side of the inner lug, each with an arc-shaped hole for the hinge axis of the auxiliary lug. Adding auxiliary lugs to each end of the curved surface of the connecting frame ensures the strength of the connection between the connecting frame and the column, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the short anchoring edge and the column.
[0010] Reinforcement ribs are fixed on the inner base and the outer base, and the reinforcement ribs are perpendicular to the hinged rotation surfaces on the inner base and the outer base.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the device forms a triangular support structure located on the outside of the canvas together with the deck through the cooperation of the columns and the cable assembly. Under the tensioning action of the cable assembly, the canvas is stretched on the outside of the upper structure of the deck to complete the large-area layout of the canvas. Since it replaces the structural frame composed of rigid structural parts in the prior art, the lightweight requirements of the entire skylight device can be guaranteed, and the angle between the corresponding column and the deck can be adjusted by adjusting the length of each cable assembly, so that the heights of the anchored short sides of the canvas are different, thereby achieving artistic effects of various shapes of the skylight.

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a lightweight canopy device for ships, comprising a canvas 3 and a plurality of columns 4 and a cable assembly 5 spaced apart on the outside of the canvas 3. The number of columns 4 and the cable assembly 5 is determined according to the size of the selected canvas 3. Specifically in this embodiment, there are 6 columns 4 and 6 cable assemblies 5. The canvas 3 has an anchoring long side fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper structure 2 of the deck 1 and a plurality of anchoring short sides movably connected to the upper end of each column 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the column 4 is hinged to the inner base 7 fixed on the deck 1. Specifically, a lower ear plate 401 is welded to the lower end of the column 4, and a bottom ear seat 701 that matches the lower ear plate 401 is welded to the inner base 7; Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the zipper assembly is an existing rod-type cable, which includes an upper connecting ear 502, a lower connecting ear 501, a screw 503, a locking nut 505 and an adjusting screw sleeve 504, wherein the upper connecting ear 502 and the lower connecting ear 501 are ear seat structures, and the seat bodies of the upper connecting ear 502 and the lower connecting ear 501 are respectively threaded with screws 503, and the adjusting screw sleeve 504 is matched with the ends of the two screws 503. The locking nut 505 is matched and installed on the screw 503 between the adjusting screw sleeve 504 and the seat body and abuts against the bottom of the seat body. The upper connecting ear 502 is hinged to the upper end of the corresponding column 4, that is, it is hinged to the outer ear plate 403 fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the column 4; the lower connecting ear 501 is fixed to the outer ear plate 403 fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the column 4; The outer base 8 on the plate 1 is hinged, that is, it is hinged to the bottom ear plate 801 fixed on the outer base 8; the column 4, the cable assembly 5 and the deck 1 form a triangular support structure on the outside of the canvas 3. Under the tension of each cable assembly 5, the canvas 3 is stretched and arranged on the outside of the upper structure 2 of the deck 1 to complete the large-area layout of the canvas 3. Since it replaces the structural frame composed of rigid structural parts in the prior art, the lightweight requirements of the entire skylight device can be guaranteed, and the length of the cable assembly 5 can be changed by rotating the adjusting screw sleeve 504. The angle between the corresponding column 4 and the deck 1 can be adjusted so that the heights of the anchored short sides of the canvas 3 are different, thereby achieving artistic effects of various shapes of the skylight.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, it is further preferred that a mounting plate is fixed on the outer wall of the upper structure 2, and the mounting plate and the anchoring long side are provided with a plurality of corresponding rope holes connected to each other along the length direction, and each rope hole is connected and bound by a connecting rope (not shown in the drawings).
[0023] In order to improve the stability of the columns 4 in the vertical support direction, steel cables are provided between two adjacent columns 4 and between the upper structure 2 and the adjacent columns 4. Figure 7 As shown, tensioners 601 are installed at both ends of the steel cable. The end of the tensioner 601 away from the steel cable has a hinge part 602. The tensioner 601 is a prior art, and its operating principle is the same as that of the aforementioned rod-type cable. Its structure will not be described in detail. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, lateral ear plates 404 connected to the hinged portion 602 are fixed on the outer side of the column 4 and the outer wall of the upper structure 2. The upper structure 2 and each column 4 are connected in sequence by a steel cable, and under the tensioning action of the tensioner 601, a lateral tensioning force in the left and right directions is provided to each column 4, thereby avoiding lateral shaking of the column 4, that is, improving the vertical stability of the column 4.
[0024] In order to increase the force application area at the connection between the anchoring short side of the canvas 3 and the column 4, thereby reducing the risk of tearing at the connection of the canvas 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a connecting frame 9 is provided on the anchoring short side. Specifically, the connecting frame 9 is fixedly connected to the canvas 3 laid on the surface of the connecting frame 9 by bolts, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the connecting frame 9 has a main ear seat 902 on the side away from the canvas 3 , and the main ear seat 902 is hinged to the inner ear plate 402 fixed to the upper end of the column 4 .
[0025] Further preferably, in order to ensure the connection strength between the connecting frame 9 and the column 4, the side of the connecting frame 9 away from the canvas 3 is an arc-shaped surface 901, and the arc projection of the arc-shaped surface 901 on the cross section of the column 4 is designed to be concentric with the circular cross section of the column 4. The main ear seat 902 is fixed at the center position of the arc-shaped surface 901, and auxiliary ear seats 903 are fixed at both ends of the arc-shaped surface 901. Auxiliary ear plates 405 are fixed on the columns 4 on both sides of the inner ear plate 402, and the auxiliary ear plates 405 are provided with arc-shaped holes for the hinge shaft of the auxiliary ear seat 903 to move.
[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure the transverse connection strength between the column 4 and the deck 1, reinforcing ribs 10 are welded on the inner base 7 and the outer base 8, and the reinforcing ribs 10 are perpendicular to the hinged rotation surfaces on the inner base 7 and the outer base 8.
[0027] When implementing this technical solution, the number of columns 4 and cable assemblies required and their installation positions are designed according to the area of the canopy to be laid. The outer base 8 hinged with the lower connecting ear 501 of the zipper assembly and the inner base 7 hinged with the column 4 are fixedly installed on the corresponding clamping plate at the required position in sequence. The anchoring long side of the canvas 3 is tied to the mounting plate of the upper structure 2 through the connecting rope. The connecting parts are installed on each anchoring short side. The main ear seat 902 and the auxiliary ear seat 903 on each connecting frame 9 are hinged with the inner ear plate 402 and the auxiliary ear plate 405 on the column 4 at the corresponding position through the hinge shaft in sequence. The upper connecting ear 502 of each cable assembly 5 is connected to the corresponding position. The outer ear plate 403 on the column 4 is hingedly connected, and the adjusting screw sleeve 504 of the cable assembly 5 is rotated to adjust the distance between the upper and lower connecting ears 501 of each cable assembly 5, thereby changing the angle between each column 4 and the deck 1, so that the height of the anchored short side at each corresponding position on the canvas 3 is different, forming the required canopy shape, and the steel rope 6 equipped with the tensioner 601 is connected to the upper structure 2 and the lateral ear plate 404 on the column 4 in sequence along the circumference of the canvas 3, and the tightness of each tensioner 601 is adjusted to stably support the column 4 under the canvas 3. The installed canopy device has fewer rigid structural parts and meets the lightweight requirements of the passenger and vehicle ferry.
