Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0033] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) used to explain the structure and movement of the various elements of this invention are relative rather than absolute. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings.

[0034] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4 This utility model provides a barge saddle 1 for supporting a storage tank 2. The barge saddle 1 is particularly suitable for large storage tanks 2.

[0035] Tank 2 is used to contain liquid energy. Tank 2 is typically used on ships to provide energy to the vessel.

[0036] The storage tank 2 includes a tank body 21 and a structural member 22 disposed on the outer periphery of the tank body 21. The structural member 22 is disposed below the tank body 21. Exemplarily, when the tank body 21 is a type C tank, the structural member 22 is laminated wood. When the tank body 21 is a type B tank, the structural member 22 is laminated wood. When the tank body 21 is a type A tank, the structural member 22 is laminated wood.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The barge saddle 1 includes a base 11 and a support member disposed on the base 11. The support member is used to conform to the outer periphery of the storage tank 2 to support the storage tank 2. The bottom of the base 11 has a plurality of receiving slots 115, which are evenly spaced along the length of the base 11. Each receiving slot 115 is open at the bottom and extends through the width of the base 11 to accommodate the modular trolley 3. This barge saddle 1 can support the storage tank 2 and can cooperate with the modular trolley 3 to lift and transport the storage tank 2, reducing lifting steps and lowering costs.

[0038] This transport saddle 1 is particularly suitable for transporting large storage tanks 2.

[0039] The width of the base 11 gradually increases from top to bottom. This increases the structural strength of the base 11, allowing the transport saddle 1 to support a greater weight of the storage tank 2. It also increases the bottom area of ​​the base 11, resulting in a larger contact area between the transport saddle 1 and the ground, thus meeting the ground bearing requirements.

[0040] The length of the base 11 gradually increases from top to bottom. This further increases the structural strength and bottom area of ​​the base 11, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the barge saddle 1 and meeting the ground load-bearing requirements.

[0041] That is, the cross-section of the base 11 is trapezoidal, so that the barge saddle 1 meets the required load-bearing requirements, and the ground meets the load-bearing requirements while minimizing the weight of the barge saddle 1.

[0042] When supporting the storage tank 2, the width direction of the base 11 is parallel to the axial direction of the storage tank 2, and the length direction of the base 11 is perpendicular to the axial direction and located in the horizontal direction.

[0043] The base 11 includes a base plate 111, a support plate 112 disposed on the base plate 111, and a plurality of reinforcing plates 113 arranged on both sides of the support plate 112. The base plate 111 extends horizontally and is used to contact the ground, thereby transferring the load to the ground. The base plate 111 includes a plurality of upwardly recessed recesses that form receiving grooves 115.

[0044] Specifically, the base plate 111 includes a trough flat portion 1111, wave crest protrusions 1112 arranged parallel to each other above the trough flat portion 1111, and a connecting portion 1113 connecting the trough flat portion 1111 and the wave crest protrusions 1112. The trough flat portion 1111 and the wave crest protrusions 1112 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the base 11. The connecting portion 1113 is perpendicular to the wave crest protrusions 1112. Any two adjacent connecting portions 1113 and wave crest protrusions 1112 enclose a receiving groove 115. The trough flat portion 1111 and the wave crest protrusions 1112 both extend horizontally, and the connecting portion 1113 extends vertically.

[0045] The widths of the trough flat portion 1111, the crest convex portion 1112, and the connecting portion 1113 are the same.

[0046] Specifically, the plurality of receiving slots 115 include a central receiving slot 115 and end receiving slots 115 symmetrically arranged about the central receiving slot 115. The center of the central receiving slot 115 and the center of the base 11 along the length direction are located on the same straight line. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, there are three receiving slots 115, one of which is the central receiving slot 115, and the other two are end receiving slots 115. Correspondingly, there are four trough flat portions 1111 and three crest protrusions 1112.

[0047] The multiple receiving slots 115 may also exclude the central receiving slot 115. In this case, the multiple receiving slots 115 are arranged symmetrically about the center of the base 11. For example, if only two receiving slots 115 are included, then the number of trough flat portions 1111 is three, and the number of crest protrusions 1112 is two.

[0048] A support plate 112 is disposed on a base plate 111. The support plate 112 is perpendicular to the base plate 111 and extends vertically. The bottom of the support plate 112 is adapted to the base plate 111, that is, the bottom of the support plate 112 is uneven and is adapted to the crest convex portion 1112 and the trough flat portion 1111.

[0049] Multiple reinforcing plates 113 are arranged on opposite sides of the support plate 112. Each side of the support plate 112 is provided with multiple reinforcing plates 113 spaced apart along the length of the base 11. Some of the reinforcing plates 113 are fixedly connected to the base plate 111.

[0050] The length of the reinforcing plate 113 gradually increases from top to bottom, so that the width of the base 11 gradually increases from top to bottom. The length of the reinforcing plate 113 extends along the axial direction of the tank body 21.

[0051] Specifically, the reinforcing plate 113 includes a first reinforcing plate 113 and a second reinforcing plate 113. The bottom of the first reinforcing plate 113 is connected and fixed to the base plate 111, and the bottom of the second reinforcing plate 113 is connected and fixed to the sealing plate 114.

[0052] The first reinforcing plate 113 has a straight side edge that adheres to the support plate 112, while its side edge away from the support plate 112 slopes downwards towards the direction away from the support plate 112. Its top edge adheres to the support member, and its bottom edge adheres to the base plate 111. The cross-section of the first reinforcing plate 113 located in the central region is a right-angled trapezoid. The first reinforcing plate 113 located at the ends is inclined relative to the base plate 111. The inclined first reinforcing plate 113 is close to the sealing plate 114.

[0053] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is provided between the inclined first reinforcing plate 113 and the base plate 111, and the reinforcing plate stands upright on the base plate 111.

[0054] The second reinforcing plate 113 is attached to the side of the support plate 112 with a straight edge, and its side away from the support plate 112 is inclined from top to bottom away from the support plate 112. The top edge is attached to the support member and the bottom edge is attached to the sealing plate 114.

[0055] Preferably, the base 11 extends outward beyond the storage tank 2 supported by the support member at both ends along its length. By increasing the length of the base 11, the load-bearing capacity of the barge saddle 1 is increased, thereby enabling it to support large or even extra-large storage tanks 2.

[0056] When the capacity of storage tank 2 is small, the two ends of base 11 can be flush with the outer perimeter of storage tank 2.

[0057] The support is fixed to the top of the base 11. The shape of the upper surface of the support is adapted to fit the outer periphery of the structural component 22 of the storage tank 2.

[0058] The support completely covers the structural component 22. Therefore, the barge saddle 1 can effectively support the tank body 21.

[0059] The top of the base 11 completely fits and covers the support member. That is, the base 11 can effectively support the support member and share the load of the support member and the storage tank 2 located on the support member.

[0060] In this embodiment, the support member includes two support plates 12 spaced apart along the width direction of the base 11. The two support plates 12 are mirror-symmetrical, arc-shaped, and their concave surfaces are opposite to each other. The two support plates 12 are connected by a connecting plate.

[0061] This support is suitable for supporting either a double-lobed or a four-lobed storage tank 2. When the tank body 21 has other shapes, the support is adapted to the shape of the tank body 21, ensuring that the support fits snugly against the supporting structure 22.

[0062] The bottom of the barge saddle 1 is equipped with a receiving slot 115 for accommodating the modular trolley 3. Therefore, it can work with the modular trolley 3 to lift and transport the storage tank 2 without the need for a crane with a large load capacity, thus saving costs. The barge saddle 1 has good structural strength and can meet the hydrostatic test requirements of the storage tank 2. The bottom area of ​​the barge saddle 1 is large enough to meet the ground load-bearing requirements.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model also provides a transport device, which includes multiple modular trolleys 3 and multiple transport saddles 1 as described above. The multiple transport saddles 1 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the storage tank 2 to jointly support the storage tank 2. The multiple modular trolleys 3 are located in the receiving grooves 115 of the transport saddles 1 and are capable of lifting and transporting the transport saddles 1 and the storage tank 2 located on the transport saddles 1.

[0064] The length of the modular trolley 3 extends along the axial direction of the storage tank 2, and one modular trolley 3 is simultaneously located in the receiving slots 115 of multiple transport saddles 1 spaced apart along the axial direction of the storage tank 2. Multiple modular trolleys 3 are spaced apart along the width direction of the storage tank 2, and work together to lift the multiple transport saddles 1 spaced apart along the axial direction of the storage tank 2.

[0065] In this embodiment, the barge transport device includes two barge saddles 1 and three modular trolleys 3.

[0066] Preferably, the transport device further includes a connecting reinforcement. The connecting reinforcement connects multiple transport saddles 1. The connecting reinforcement extends axially along the storage tank 2.

[0067] Specifically, there are two connecting reinforcement members, located on opposite sides of the storage tank 2. Alternatively, there can be only one connecting reinforcement member, located on either side of the storage tank 2.

[0068] After the construction of storage tank 2 is completed, the aforementioned transport device can be used for lifting and transporting, as follows:

[0069] The modular trolley 3 is driven into the receiving slot 115 of the corresponding multiple transport saddles 1.

[0070] Multiple modular trolleys 3 work together to lift the barge saddle 1, causing the bottom of the barge saddle 1 to detach from the ground.

[0071] Multiple modular trolleys 3 move together to transport the storage tank 2 located on the transport saddle 1 to the preset destination.

[0072] Therefore, the storage tank 2 can be transferred to the ship through this barge device without the need for crane lifting, which greatly reduces costs while ensuring the acceptance and manufacturing of the storage tank 2.
