AI Technical Summary
On car carriers, there is a safety hazard of people falling into the gap when the movable deck is in storage position. At the same time, it is necessary to meet the specifications for watertight doors in the stairwells to increase the loading capacity.
Watertight doors are installed at an angle in the corner space between stairways to serve as a buffer platform for entering the active deck, thereby improving safety and practicality.
By installing watertight doors at the corners of the stairwells, personnel are prevented from slipping and falling, thus improving the practicality of the stairwell passages while meeting safety and loading capacity requirements.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of watertight technology for ships, and in particular to a watertight door arrangement structure for the stairwell of a roll-on / roll-off ship. Background Technology
[0002] Car carriers utilize movable decks to accommodate different vehicle types and cargo. Personnel access each deck via staircases located at the bow, midships, and stern. For fixed decks requiring watertightness, watertight doors must be installed according to regulations. To maximize loading capacity, the watertight doors on the staircase walls can only open inwards. Movable decks have two working states: working and stowage. When the movable deck is in the stowage position, there is a significant risk of falls when personnel enter or exit this deck. Therefore, optimizing the layout to improve both safety and practicality is a crucial design consideration, balancing maximum loading capacity with compliant staircase access. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a watertight door arrangement structure for the stairwell of a roll-on / roll-off ship. While meeting the design specifications of the stairwell, it makes full use of the corner space of the stairwell to arrange the watertight door obliquely, and uses the remaining space at the corner of the stairwell as a buffer platform for entering and exiting the movable deck. This can not only meet the design of maximizing the movable deck, but also improve the safety and practicality of the area.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A watertight door arrangement structure for a ro-ro ship's stairwell includes a stairwell enclosure wall and a stairwell deck. The stairwell enclosure wall divides the stairwell deck into an inner stairwell deck and an outer stairwell deck. The watertight door is located on a portion of the stairwell enclosure wall between the outer stairwell deck and the inner stairwell deck.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer deck between the stairways is a corner area of the deck between the stairways.
[0007] Furthermore, the stairwell enclosure includes a first transverse enclosure and a second transverse enclosure arranged in parallel, and a first longitudinal enclosure and a second longitudinal enclosure arranged in parallel. One end face of the first transverse enclosure and one end face of the second transverse enclosure are both located inside the inner side of the first longitudinal enclosure, and the length of the first transverse enclosure is less than the length of the second transverse enclosure. One end face of the first longitudinal enclosure and one end face of the second longitudinal enclosure are both located inside the inner side of the second transverse enclosure, and the length of the second longitudinal enclosure is less than the length of the first longitudinal enclosure. A stairwell deck partition enclosure is connected between the end of the first transverse enclosure away from the first longitudinal enclosure and the end of the second longitudinal enclosure away from the second transverse enclosure. The watertight door is located on the stairwell deck partition enclosure, and the outer deck of the stairwell is located outside the stairwell deck partition enclosure.
[0008] Furthermore, the deck partition wall between the stairways includes a third longitudinal wall and an oblique wall. One end of the third longitudinal wall is connected to the first transverse wall, and the other end of the third longitudinal wall is connected to the oblique wall. The watertight door is located on the oblique wall, and the outer deck of the stairway is located outside the third longitudinal wall and the oblique wall.
[0009] Furthermore, the deck partition wall between the stairways includes a third transverse partition wall and an oblique partition wall. One end of the third transverse partition wall is connected to the second longitudinal partition wall, and the other end of the third transverse partition wall is connected to the oblique partition wall. The watertight door is located on the oblique partition wall, and the outer deck of the stairway is located outside the third transverse partition wall and the oblique partition wall.
[0010] This utility model discloses a watertight door arrangement structure for the stairwells of a roll-on / roll-off ship. A diagonally arranged enclosure wall is installed between the stairwells, and the watertight door is mounted on this wall. The corner space between the stairwells serves as a buffer platform for entering the movable deck, ensuring that personnel will not fall after opening the door. This arrangement can be flexibly designed according to different stairwell layouts and spaces. Attached Figure Description
