Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ships, in particular to a ship and an ultra-short material hoist reinforcement structure for the ship. Background Art

[0002] Large ships' superstructures house a large number of crew members and equipment, necessitating a significant transportation volume for daily necessities and equipment. Therefore, these superstructures are often equipped with a material hoist to facilitate material transfer. For typical bulk carriers, oil tankers, and chemical tankers, the material hoist is typically located at a corner of the superstructure. To ensure the structural safety of the material hoist, the hoist's cylindrical reinforcement structure typically extends to the lower deck, with supporting structures installed beneath the lower deck. Currently, this cylindrical reinforcement structure spans two decks, resulting in significant structural weight and impacting the visual perspective and accessibility of the deck below the material hoist.

[0003] In the prior art, for general bulk carriers, oil tankers, chemical tankers and other ship types, the material crane is usually installed on a corner of the upper structure. To ensure the structural safety of the material crane, the cylindrical reinforcement structure of the material crane is usually extended to the lower deck, and a supporting structure is installed under the lower deck.

[0004] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a typical reinforcement of the upper material hoist of a certain type of bulk carrier is shown. The material hoist reinforcement structure involves both the upper and lower decks. The material hoist cylinder (provided by the supplier) is located above the upper deck, while the structural reinforcement cylinder extends to the lower deck. Brackets connect the material hoist cylinder to the upper deck, as well as the structural reinforcement cylinder to the upper deck. The ends of the brackets connecting the structural reinforcement cylinder and the upper deck are equipped with ring reinforcement. The structural reinforcement cylinder is equipped with a support plate below the lower deck. The support plate also has a connecting bracket between the support plate and the lower deck, and the ends are equipped with end reinforcement ribs. Utility Model Content

[0034] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of a ship's ultra-short material hoist reinforcement structure is shown, which includes a material hoist cylinder 0, which is connected to the upper deck 8 through a first connecting bracket 1; a reinforcement cylinder 4, which is connected to the bottom of the material hoist cylinder 0 and passes through the upper deck 8; a bottom plate 3, which is connected to the bottom of the reinforcement cylinder 4; a second connecting bracket 2, which is connected between the upper deck 8 and the reinforcement cylinder 4; an alignment support plate 5, which is connected to the bottom edge of the bottom plate 3; and a third connecting bracket 6, which is located below the bottom plate 3 and is used for positioning and docking with the alignment support plate 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the height of the reinforcing cylinder 4 is proportional to the size of the material crane, and the height of the reinforcing cylinder 4 is proportional to the load of the material crane.

[0036] In this embodiment, a terminal reinforcement rib 7 is installed at the bottom of the third connecting bracket 6 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the material hanging cylinder 0 is connected to the reinforcement cylinder 4 by welding. The diameter of the material hanging cylinder 0 is consistent with the diameter of the reinforcement cylinder 4. After the connection, the axes of the material hanging cylinder 0 and the reinforcement cylinder 4 coincide.

[0038] In this embodiment, the alignment support plate 5 and the third connecting bracket 6 are connected by an oblique angled butt joint.

[0039] The technical solution of this embodiment also provides a ship, which has an ultra-short material hoist reinforcement structure according to any of the above items.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bottom of the reinforcement cylinder 4 is higher than the corresponding position of the ship window (not shown, but can be seen Figure 1 ) location.

[0041] The following description will provide a further understanding of the characteristics and functions of the present invention.

[0042] First, from Figure 1 and Figure 2The core of the typical design in the prior art shown is a structural reinforcement cylinder connecting two decks. Regardless of optimization, the structural reinforcement cylinder remains heavy, increasing both the lightship weight and cost. It also interferes with the visual angle and layout of the adjacent cabin windows and encroaches on the visual angle and movement space of the crew corridor behind the cylinder. To address this cross-deck material crane reinforcement structure, this embodiment designs an ultra-short material crane reinforcement structure that connects only one deck, reducing structural weight and minimizing the impact on the visual angle and movement space of the deck below the material crane.

[0043] Different from the typical reinforcement design of the traditional ship superstructure material crane, this embodiment greatly reduces the height of the structural reinforcement cylinder. The reinforcement structure only involves the upper deck where the material crane is located, adds a cylinder bottom plate 3, and matches it with connecting components, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure. The material hoisting cylinder 0 (provided by the supplier) is located above the upper deck 8, while the reinforcement cylinder 4 is a structural reinforcement cylinder that extends to the bottom plate 3. The first connecting bracket 1 connects the material hoisting cylinder 0 and the upper deck 8. The second connecting bracket 2 connects the reinforcement cylinder 4 and the upper deck 8. The alignment support plate 5 is the alignment support structure of the reinforcement cylinder 4 below the bottom plate 3. The third connecting bracket 6 connects the alignment support plate 5 and the bottom plate 3. The bottom of the third connecting bracket 6 is provided with an end reinforcement rib 7.

[0044] The height and thickness of the reinforcement cylinder 4 are determined based on the load of the material hoist through finite element calculations. By controlling the height and thickness of the reinforcement cylinder 4 so that it is located above the adjacent cabin windows, the reinforcement structure's impact on the viewing angle and layout of the adjacent windows is minimized, while also minimizing the impact on the viewing angle and space of the crew corridor below. This ultra-short reinforcement structure provides sufficient support for the material hoist while significantly reducing the structural weight compared to typical material hoist reinforcement structures.

[0045] In addition, the optimized design based on the existing technology can adjust the local plate thickness, and the removal of the first connecting bracket 1 may also meet the requirements.

[0046] The key and protective features of this embodiment's ultra-short material hoist reinforcement structure lie in the placement of an ultra-short structural reinforcement cylinder beneath the material hoist cylinder. The cylinder's height is controlled so that the entire structure only extends to the deck level where the material hoist resides. A base plate is installed at the end of the structural reinforcement cylinder, providing restraint and support for the base of the cylinder. This base plate can be formed in any form, including ring reinforcement, perforated plate, or inclined plate. The height of the structural reinforcement cylinder is not fixed and must be designed appropriately based on the load of the material hoist.

[0047] In summary, the ultra-short material hoist reinforcement structure of this utility model provides sufficient support for the material hoist while using less steel and components than typical material hoist reinforcement structures. Furthermore, it is suitable for placement of the material hoist on any level of the superstructure, with the reinforcement structure only affecting one deck, providing strong adaptability. Furthermore, it has minimal impact on the viewing angles and layout of nearby cabin windows, as well as on the view of the passageway below.

[0048] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should be aware that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
