Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spot welding technology for two-sided fixed corner pieces of LNG ship cargo containment systems, and more specifically, to a welding fixture for L-shaped workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] LNG carriers are internationally recognized as "three high" products: high technology, high difficulty, and high added value. LNG carriers are special vessels that transport liquefied gas at a low temperature of -162℃. They are a kind of "super refrigerated truck at sea" and are known as the "crown jewel" of the world's shipbuilding industry.
[0003] The containment system of the LNG carrier's liquid cargo tank is the core technology of the LNG carrier. The main function of the liquid cargo containment system is to store LNG cargo with a liquid temperature of -162℃.
[0004] The liquefied cargo containment system is the isolation barrier and thermal insulation system of the liquefied cargo tank. The cargo tank consists of primary and secondary thermal insulation layers and corresponding protective films. The insulation layers are composed of multiple insulating boxes, and the protective films are made of Invar material, also known as "invariant steel." The primary and secondary insulation layers provide effective thermal insulation to maintain the temperature of the cargo inside the tank during transportation. Ammonia gas is introduced during normal loading to ensure safety. Additionally, there is a liquid bend and a gas bend, used for loading and unloading LNG cargo and for the recovery and reuse of volatile gases, respectively.
[0005] The liquid cargo containment system has two main functions: 1. A completely dense metal film ensures no leakage of LNG; 2. Good thermal insulation capabilities prevent the hull from being cooled and losing strength and toughness.
[0006] Currently, when the insulation panels of the LNG cargo containment system are attached to the inner wall of the LNG cargo containment system, they are prone to falling off, resulting in unstable connections. Therefore, two-sided fixing corner brackets are used to connect and fix the insulation panels. However, there is currently no specific welding fixture for the two-sided fixing corner brackets, which leads to technical problems such as low production efficiency and low welding quality.
[0007] The preceding description is intended to provide general background information and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content
