Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shipbuilding technology, and specifically relates to a hydraulic cylinder arrangement structure for a roll-on / roll-off ship ramp. Background Technology
[0002] In addition to meeting strength requirements, the arrangement of hydraulic cylinders in roll-on / roll-off ramps must also consider the requirements of liquid tank arrangement and cargo hold loading. For situations where the ramp is located on the freeboard deck, with liquid tanks and ventilation ducts beneath it, a hydraulically embedded ramp is not feasible because the hoisting wire ropes would affect cargo hold loading and watertightness. Therefore, a hydraulically supported ramp is the only viable option, necessitating the search for a reasonable solution for arranging the hydraulic cylinders in the ramp. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder arrangement structure for a roll-on / roll-off ship's movable ramp, which satisfies both the requirements for liquid tank and air duct arrangement, as well as the hydraulic cylinder support strength and maintenance requirements.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A cylinder arrangement structure for a roll-on / roll-off (Ro-Ro) ship's movable ramp, the movable ramp being located above the freeboard deck, with a liquid tank and a ventilation duct between the freeboard deck and the movable ramp. The cylinder arrangement structure includes a cylinder arrangement space enclosed by the four side longitudinal walls, the movable ramp, and the freeboard deck. The ventilation duct and the liquid tank are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on both sides of the cylinder arrangement space. The longitudinal walls of the structure and the liquid tank walls are spaced apart. The cylinders are located within the cylinder arrangement space and are connected to the freeboard deck via cylinder bases fixed to the freeboard deck.
[0006] Furthermore, a base reverse structure reinforcement is provided on the reverse side of the freeboard deck located directly below the cylinder base.
[0007] Furthermore, a straight ladder is provided on the starboard side longitudinal wall within the cylinder arrangement structure space.
[0008] Furthermore, a lighting tube is fixed to the side wall of the cylinder arrangement structure space by a bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, a cable hole is provided on the port side of the freeboard deck within the cylinder arrangement structure space, and a floor drain is provided on the starboard side of the freeboard deck within the cylinder arrangement structure space.
[0010] Furthermore, the shortest distance between the longitudinal wall of the cylinder arrangement structure space and the liquid tank wall is 600mm.
[0011] The hydraulic cylinder arrangement structure of the roll-on / roll-off ship's movable ramp is not coplanar with the tank walls, but vertically penetrates the air duct. The reinforced structure on the reverse side of the base ensures sufficient hydraulic cylinder support strength. The bulkhead ensures longitudinal wall continuity and avoids stress concentration. The openings in the bulkhead structure prevent liquid accumulation in the corners of the tank, and the openings at the bottom reduce ventilation resistance. It satisfies the hydraulic cylinder support strength requirements, prevents liquid accumulation in the corners of the tank, and also meets ventilation needs. The straight ladder and lighting tubes allow crew members to access the ramp for maintenance, and the floor drain prevents accidental water from stagnating over a large area.
