Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, and in particular to a hull structure and a ship. Background Technology

[0002] In the shipbuilding process, the assembly and modular assembly is the core technology of modern shipbuilding. It refers to the construction method in which the hull is first divided into several large ring-shaped modular sections, which are then pre-outfitted and painted in the workshop, and finally assembled with high precision to form a complete hull.

[0003] Limited by the space of the engine room frame inside the ship, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower platform in the lower platform section 10' needs to house equipment and outfitting frames, which are generally installed on the platform surface of the lower platform section 10'. Because the hull plating 1' has a first reinforcing beam 3' installed on it, and the lower left and right corner sections (generally generator rooms) of the upper platform section 20' have first reinforcing beams 4' (generally T-beams) and reinforcing elbow plates 5' welded to their wall panels 2', these structural components are prone to interference with the equipment and outfitting frames on the platform surface. Therefore, the equipment and outfitting frames to be installed need to be placed near the hull during the section stage, and then installed on the platform surface of the lower platform section 10' using a lifting device during the loading stage. This prolongs the ship's construction cycle and reduces construction efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes a hull structure, which includes an upper platform section 10 and a lower platform section (not shown). The upper platform section 10 includes a hull outer plating 1, a bulkhead 2, a connecting beam 3, and an outfitting plate 4. A first reinforcing beam 5 is provided on the inner wall of the hull outer plating 1, and a second reinforcing beam 6 is provided on the side of the bulkhead 2 facing the hull outer plating 1. The two ends of the connecting beam 3 are connected to the bottom ends of the first reinforcing beam 5 and the second reinforcing beam 6, respectively, and the top end of the connecting beam 3 is provided with an outfitting plate 4. By setting up connecting beams 3 and outfitting plates 4, an outfitting frame is added within the upper platform section 10. This allows the equipment to be installed on the outfitting plates 4 during the ground assembly of the upper platform section 10. In other words, the installation process of the equipment and outfitting plates 4 is moved forward, improving the integrity of the outfitting of the upper platform section 10 during the assembly stage, reducing dock outfitting and hoisting operations, saving construction time during the mounting stage, shortening the ship's construction cycle, and improving the ship's construction efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment, the upper platform section 10 includes multiple sections along the width direction of the hull structure ( Figure 2 The upper platform sections are arranged side-by-side in the port and starboard direction (in the hull), and multiple upper deck sections are arranged side-by-side along the width direction of the hull structure. The lower platform section includes multiple lower platform sections arranged side-by-side along the width direction of the hull structure. Along the height direction of the hull structure (in the port and starboard direction), the upper platform sections are arranged side-by-side in the port and starboard direction (in the hull structure), and multiple upper deck sections are arranged side-by-side along the width direction of the hull structure. Figure 2(In the vertical direction), the upper platform section 10 is located above the lower platform section. During the shipbuilding process, outfitting frames and various equipment need to be installed on the platform surface of the lower platform section.

[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first reinforcing beam 5 and the connecting beam 3 are integrally formed. The first reinforcing beam 5, the second reinforcing beam 6, and the connecting beam 3 are all T-shaped steel beams. By extending the first reinforcing beam 5 to the second reinforcing beam 6 of the wall panel 2 (in this embodiment, the wall panel 2 of the generator room), a support structure for the outfitting plate 4 is formed. The outfitting plate 4 serves as the load-bearing base of the equipment, allowing the outfitting plate 4, the equipment, and the upper platform section 10 to be hoisted as a whole, saving the construction period during the mounting phase.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the bottom end of the first reinforcing beam 5 is welded to one end of the connecting beam 3. Welding simplifies the structure of the first reinforcing beam 5 and reduces its processing cost and difficulty.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the bottom end of the second reinforcing beam 6 is welded to the other end of the connecting beam 3, and an elbow plate (not shown in the figure) is welded between the bottom end of the second reinforcing beam 6 and the other end of the connecting beam 3. By providing the elbow plate, the connection strength and stability between the second reinforcing beam 6 and the connecting beam 3 are improved.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting beam 3 is provided with multiple support beams 7, and the top of the multiple support beams 7 is supported by an outfitting plate 4. The multiple support beams 7 and the outfitting plate 4 form the outfitting frame for installing the equipment. By having multiple support beams 7 jointly support the outfitting plate 4, the stability of the outfitting plate 4 is improved. In this embodiment, the support beams 7 are angle steel, which has high strength, is easy to weld, and is inexpensive and readily available.

[0035] In one embodiment, the outfitting plate 4 is welded or threaded to multiple support beams 7 to achieve stable and reliable assembly of the support beams 7 and the outfitting plate 4, thereby improving the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the outfitting frame.

[0036] In another alternative embodiment, one end of the outfitting plate 4 is rotatably mounted on one or more of the support beams 7, so that the outfitting plate 4 has a horizontal position supported on the top of the support beam 7 and an inclined flipped position. Rotating the outfitting plate 4 on the support beam 7 allows the outfitting plate 4 to flip, so that the position of the outfitting plate 4 can be adaptively adjusted according to outfitting requirements, thereby improving the flexibility of the outfitting plate 4.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, a hinge is provided between one end of the outfitting plate 4 and the corresponding support beam 7. The hinge includes an upper hinge, a lower hinge, and a hinge shaft. The upper and lower hinges are rotatably connected via the hinge shaft. One end of the outfitting plate 4 is connected to the upper hinge, and the support beam 7, which is rotatably connected to the outfitting plate 4, is connected to the lower hinge. The outfitting plate 4 is rotatably mounted to the corresponding support beam 7 via the hinge, which simplifies the structure of the outfitting frame and allows the outfitting plate 4 to smoothly rotate under the action of the hinge. Since the method of achieving rotation via a hinge is existing technology, the specific structure of the hinge will not be described in detail.

[0038] Along the length of the hull structure, at least two first reinforcing beams 5 are spaced apart on the inner sidewall of the outer hull plate 1. Each of the at least two first reinforcing beams 5 is connected to its corresponding hull plate 2 via connecting beams 3. This arrangement ensures that the outfitting frame includes at least two spaced connecting beams 3, and each connecting beam 3 is equipped with multiple supporting beams 7, further improving the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the outfitting frame. In this embodiment, the length direction, width direction, and length direction of the hull structure are all perpendicular to each other.

[0039] This embodiment also proposes a ship, which includes the hull structure described above. By setting up connecting beams 3 and outfitting plates 4, an outfitting frame is added within the upper platform section 10. This allows the equipment to be installed on the outfitting plates 4 during the ground assembly of the upper platform section 10, thus moving the equipment installation process to the front. This improves the integrity of the outfitting of the upper platform section 10 during the assembly stage, reduces dock outfitting and hoisting operations, saves construction time during the mounting stage, shortens the ship's construction cycle, and improves the ship's construction efficiency.

[0040] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
