Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shipbuilding technology, and specifically relates to a through-structure for a ventilated pipe in the ballast tank of a roll-on / roll-off ship. Background Technology
[0002] Ro-Ro ships (RO-RO vessels) require ballast tanks on both port and starboard sides with double bottoms to maintain adequate airflow and regulate ballast water level. Sometimes, these tanks are further separated by watertight longitudinal girder. For ballast tanks near the midships, where the main deck above the cargo hold is directly above, traditional venting pipes are typically laid directly upwards. This results in the venting pipes occupying cargo hold space, affecting the flexibility of cargo loading and indirectly impacting lane width and length, thus reducing space utilization. Conventional designs fail to effectively consider vibrations in the marine environment, leading to easily damaged pipes, insufficient sealing, and weak seismic resistance. Furthermore, simple pipe designs often cannot adequately ensure ventilation, resulting in restricted airflow in the ballast tanks and poor venting efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to extend the ballast venting pipes towards the ship's sides, which necessitates the standardization of ballast venting pipe penetration structure design. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a through-structure for the ventilation pipe of the ballast tank of a roll-on / roll-off ship.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A through-structure for a venting duct in a ballast tank of a roll-on / roll-off ship includes an inner bottom plate and a supplementary plate. Multiple longitudinal ribs are provided at intervals and parallel to each other along the width direction of the ship on the reverse side of the inner bottom plate of the ballast tank. The supplementary plate is connected to the longitudinal ribs. The venting duct passes through the supplementary plate or the longitudinal ribs and / or the longitudinal ribs and the supplementary plate.
[0006] Furthermore, when the venting pipe passes through the longitudinal bone and / or the longitudinal bone and the supplementary plate, the supplementary plate is fixed to the lower end face of the longitudinal bone, the supplementary plate is arranged parallel to the longitudinal bone, a venting pipe hole is opened on the longitudinal bone, and / or an opening forming a venting pipe hole is opened on the longitudinal bone and the supplementary plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the upper end of the vertical stiffener of the rib located directly below the supplementary plate extends to the lower end face of the supplementary plate, and the two are fixedly connected.
[0008] Furthermore, a connecting elbow plate is connected between the lower end face of the supplementary plate and the side of the vertical stiffener of the rib.
[0009] Furthermore, the vertical distance between the upper part of the vent pipe hole and the reverse side of the ballast tank floor plate located above it is not less than 100mm.
[0010] Furthermore, when the ventilation duct only passes through the supplementary plate, the supplementary plate is located between two longitudinal bones located in the same longitudinal plane, and the two sides of the supplementary plate are fixedly connected to the longitudinal bones. The width of the supplementary plate is greater than the width of the longitudinal bones, and ventilation duct holes are opened on the supplementary plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib extending along the length of the longitudinal bone is provided at the joint between the supplementary plate and the longitudinal bone, with both ends of the reinforcing rib located on both sides of the joint between the supplementary plate and the longitudinal bone.
[0012] Furthermore, the supplementary plate is a bulb flat steel, and the reinforcing rib is a flat steel.
[0013] The present invention provides a through-structure for the venting pipe of the ballast tank of a roll-on / roll-off ship. The connection is simple, the weight increase is minimal, and the venting holes of the pipe system are retained so that it runs horizontally through the longitudinal components of the structure.
