Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically a high-strength watertight door for ship cabins. Background Technology
[0002] Watertight doors in ship compartments are critical equipment for ensuring the safety of ship navigation and must meet the requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and classification society regulations regarding watertightness and structural strength.
[0003] Traditional watertight doors in ship cabins typically employ a single lock or a single lock plus a single-sided bolt locking method. This means that initial locking is achieved through a lock on one side of the door (such as a rotary lock or mortise lock), and then a single set of movable bolts on the door edge engages with a hole in the door frame to form an auxiliary seal. However, existing technology has the following drawbacks:
[0004] Insufficient locking strength: Relying on only a single-sided lock and a single set of bolts, when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the compartment is large (such as when the ship is breached and flooded or when waves are impacted), the door is prone to deformation due to uneven local stress, leading to sealing failure.
[0005] Long-term use causes abnormal noises: After long-term friction between the lock cylinder or bolt and the door frame socket, the metal surface is prone to wear and burrs or gaps. When the door is fixed by only one lock cylinder or one lock cylinder plus one bolt, the door is more likely to make abnormal noises when the ship is sailing due to the limited number of fixing points. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-strength watertight door for ship cabins that has higher locking strength and is less prone to abnormal noise after long-term use.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A high-strength watertight compartment door for ship cabins includes a door frame fixed to the hull and a door assembly mounted on the door frame on the left side via multiple hinges.
[0009] The hatch assembly includes a front hatch located on the front side, a rear hatch that is detachably installed behind the front hatch, and a lock that is fixedly installed between the front hatch and the rear hatch.
[0010] Multiple movable pins are installed between the front and rear hatches, distributed on the top, right, and bottom sides of the rear hatch. Each pair of adjacent movable pins is synchronously driven by a connecting rod. All movable pins can be simultaneously assembled onto the hatch frame under the drive of the connecting rod, thereby strengthening the hatch structure.
[0011] By adopting the above solution, this solution adds multiple movable pins distributed on the top, right, and bottom sides of the hatch, based on the traditional method of using only locks to lock the hatch. All movable pins can be simultaneously assembled into the hatch frame under the transmission of the linkage, thereby strengthening the hatch structure and making the hatch stronger after closing. In this way, there are more fixed points for the hatch, making it less likely for the hatch to make abnormal noises when the ship is sailing.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of a high-strength watertight compartment door for ship cabins, the linkage includes an active linkage that simultaneously rotatably connects control socket one, control socket two, and control socket three; a driven linkage one that simultaneously rotatably connects control socket two and control socket four; and a driven linkage two that simultaneously rotatably connects control socket three and control socket five; wherein, the surface of the movable pin is also fitted with a rubber sleeve.
[0017] By adopting the above scheme, in order to facilitate the simultaneous control of the movement of five movable pins, the active linkage is activated, and under the transmission of the two driven linkages, the five movable pins can be simultaneously inserted into the door frame.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of a high-strength watertight compartment door for ship cabins, the control socket is also connected to a first pin rocker arm located in front of the front hatch and a second pin rocker arm located behind the rear hatch, with the first pin rocker arm and the second pin rocker arm being concentrically connected.
[0019] By adopting the above scheme, in order to facilitate the operation of the active linkage, at the front hatch, the control socket can be rotated by rotating the first pin rocker arm, which in turn drives the active linkage to move, so that five movable pins can be simultaneously inserted into the door frame; at the rear hatch, the control socket can be rotated by rotating the second pin rocker arm, which in turn drives the active linkage to move, so that five movable pins can be simultaneously inserted into the door frame.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of a high-strength watertight compartment door for ship cabins, a tempered glass panel for visibility is also installed on the aft hatch.
[0021] By adopting the above solution, observation can be made through a tempered glass panel for easy viewing of the situation inside and outside the cabin.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of a high-strength watertight compartment door for ship cabins, the door frame protrudes from the front and rear sides of the cabin body, and the door frame can completely seal and enclose the top, bottom, left and right sides of the door assembly.
[0023] By adopting the above solution, in order to ensure that the hatch assembly has good water tightness, the hatch frame is used to completely seal and wrap all four sides of the hatch assembly. The entire hatch assembly is very thick, which can effectively ensure that it has good water tightness.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0025] 1. This solution adds five movable pins distributed on the top, right and bottom sides of the hatch, based on the traditional method of using only locks to lock the hatch. All movable pins can be simultaneously assembled into the hatch frame under the transmission of the linkage, thereby strengthening the hatch structure and making the hatch stronger after closing. In this way, there are more fixed points for the hatch, making it less likely for the hatch to make abnormal noises when the ship is sailing.
