TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding, and concretely relates to a large ethane transport ship liquid cargo hold structure with a bulkhead and a roll damping bulkhead. BACKGROUND
[0002] Due to the advantages of greater loading capacity, higher adhesion to the ship structure and higher cost performance, a B-type liquid cargo hold is used as a liquid cargo hold in a super large liquid cargo transport ship for transporting clean energy such as ethane and LNG. The main challenge of a liquid cargo ship lies in the sloshing of liquid cargo in the hold during transportation. The sloshing may have an adverse effect on the lateral stability of the ship, and may even cause capsizing or rolling in severe cases. This brings great risks to the operation of the crew and the safety of the cargo. Therefore, a large liquid cargo hold is usually provided with a liquid cargo hold roll damping structure to reduce the sloshing of liquid cargo in the hold and improve the navigation safety of the ship.
[0003] Three to four liquid cargo holds are usually provided on a large transport ship. In order to optimize the transportation space and realize the transportation of multiple liquid cargos, the liquid cargo hold needs to be divided into areas by a bulkhead to separate the B-type hold into two or more independent hold rooms. This results in the B-type hold having both a bulkhead and a roll damping bulkhead, which increases the cost and the structure weight, and the bulkhead arrangement limits the utilization rate of the liquid cargo hold, resulting in an increase in transportation cost.

[0019] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in combination with the drawings as follows:
[0020] As shown in the drawing, the bulkhead and anti-swing wall of the large ethane transport ship liquid cargo tank structure, including the closed B-type liquid cargo tank 1, the B-type liquid cargo tank 1 installs the vertical bulkhead 2 in the length direction middle position, the cross section of the bulkhead 2 corresponds to the inner cross section of the B-type liquid cargo tank 1, the edge of the bulkhead 2 is welded with the inner wall of the liquid cargo tank to form a seal. The liquid cargo tank is divided into two independent and air-tight and water-tight compartments by the bulkhead 2, which can realize the simultaneous loading of different liquid cargoes in the liquid cargo tank and improve the flexibility of the liquid cargo ship.
[0021] The main structure of the bulkhead 2 is a wall plate 21, a plurality of evenly distributed vertical T-shaped sections 22 and a plurality of evenly distributed horizontal T-shaped sections 23 are welded on the back of the wall plate 21, the vertical T-shaped sections 22 and the horizontal T-shaped sections 23 are perpendicular and cross connected, the web of the vertical T-shaped section 22 is fixedly welded with the back of the wall plate 21, the web of each horizontal T-shaped section 23 is provided with a T-shaped groove 24 corresponding to a row of vertical T-shaped sections, the vertical T-shaped section 22 passes through the T-shaped groove 24 of the horizontal T-shaped section 23 and is fixedly welded with the vertical T-shaped section 22 through the T-shaped groove 24, and the horizontal T-shaped section 23 and the vertical T-shaped section 22 are welded on the back of the wall plate to form a grid-shaped reinforcing structure, thereby increasing the stability of the structure. The four side edges of the wall plate 21 are provided with a plurality of evenly distributed T-shaped grooves, and the T-shaped grooves are connected and matched with the inner wall of the B-type liquid cargo tank 1 through ball flat steel connecting pieces.
[0022] A plurality of manholes 25 are arranged in a matrix on the wall plate 21, each manhole is located in the frame formed by the intersection of the vertical T-shaped section 22 and the horizontal T-shaped section 23, and each manhole 25 is provided with a manhole cover 26, which is detachably installed on the front surface of the wall plate and is connected and fixed to the wall plate by a ring of bolts.
