Description

Ships

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on December 11, 2023, with application number 2023116993687 and invention name “Ship”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of ship technology, and in particular to a ship. Background Art

[0003] Currently, the platform steps used for stacking cargo, such as containers, within a ship's cargo hold are formed by a platform deck, longitudinal bulkheads, and transverse watertight bulkheads. The stacking cones and foot supports used to secure the containers are placed on the structural deck platform. The enclosed space formed by these three bulkheads is typically used for watertight ballast tanks or void spaces. These three bulkheads, acting as watertight bulkheads, separate the cargo hold area from the double hull area.

[0004] However, due to the regulatory requirements for watertight bulkheads, the plate thicknesses of the above three walls must all meet the regulatory requirements, which makes each wall heavier and its structural weight cannot be further reduced. Technical issues

[0005] The present application provides a ship that reduces the weight of the structure used to support the cargo while meeting the requirement of supporting the cargo. Technical Solutions

[0006] An embodiment of the present application provides a ship, comprising:

[0007] The hull is hollow inside to form a cabin for accommodating the box;

[0008] A support assembly is provided at a corner of the cabin; the support assembly includes at least three support members arranged at intervals, the tops of the three support members are flush, and they jointly support the bottom of the box body, at least one of the support members is a first support member, the first support member is rod-shaped, and is used to support one of the corners of the box body.

[0009] In the ship, at least one of the three supporting members is a second supporting member, which is fixed to the cabin wall and is used to support a corner of the box.

[0010] In the ship, there is a gap between the second support member and the bottom wall of the cabin;

[0011] The cross section of the second support member is a right-angled trapezoid.

[0012] In the ship, one of the three support members is the third support member, which is combined with the cabin wall to form a square structure for supporting two corners of the box body.

[0013] In the ship, the third support member includes a top plate, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are erected on the bottom wall of the cabin.

The top plate cover is arranged on the top of the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0014] In the ship, a dimension of the top plate in a transverse direction of the hull is less than or equal to a distance between the top plate and the first support member.

[0015] In the ship, a dimension of the top plate along the longitudinal direction of the hull is less than or equal to a distance between the top plate and the first support member.

[0016] In the ship, the third support member and the first support member are respectively arranged at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the box body;

[0017] Alternatively, the third support member and the first support member are respectively arranged at two ends of the box in the width direction.

[0018] In the ship, the vertical distance between the top of the support member and the bottom wall of the cabin is consistent with the height dimension of the box.

While achieving the supporting effect on the boxes, it saves the materials required for manufacturing the support assembly, can effectively reduce the weight of the support assembly, and thus reduce the structural weight when the hull is empty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a ship in the prior art.

[0023] FIG2 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a ship in the first embodiment.

[0024] FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a ship in the fifth embodiment. Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0025] The present application provides a vessel. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of the present application more clear and explicit, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0026] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a ship in the prior art. As shown in FIG1 , in the prior art, the platform steps in the cargo hold of a ship for stacking cargo, such as a container 100, are formed by a platform deck 210, longitudinal wall panels 220, and transverse watertight wall panels 230. The stacking cones and container legs used to secure the container 100 are supported on the platform deck 210. Typically, these three walls are watertight bulkheads. However, due to regulatory requirements for watertight bulkheads, the thickness of the three walls must meet regulatory requirements, making each wall relatively heavy and preventing further reduction in structural weight.

[0027] Therefore, the present application provides a ship capable of transporting boxes such as containers to solve the above technical problems.

[0028] A vessel comprises a hull and supporting components.

[0029] For the convenience of description, it is now stipulated that the length direction of the hull is the longitudinal direction and the width direction is the transverse direction.

[0030] The hollow interior of the hull forms a cabin for accommodating boxes. When there are multiple boxes, they are often stacked in rows, columns, or multiple layers. Specifically, the boxes are stacked in the cabin with their lengths extending transversely of the hull, or longitudinally of the hull.

[0031] The following is an example of stacking boxes in a cabin with their length directions extending along the transverse direction of the hull.

[0032] Influenced by the hull's linear shape, the ends of the cabin exhibit smaller lower dimensions than upper dimensions. Specifically, the transverse distance between the cabin walls at the two transverse ends of the cabin is smaller at the bottom and larger at the top. Due to this characteristic, when multiple boxes are placed adjacent to each other along the hull's transverse direction, during the first layer of box stacking at the bottom of the cabin, the transverse distance between one box and the cabin wall at one transverse end may be smaller than the box's length. In this case, a support assembly is required to raise the support point at this location.

[0033] The support assembly is arranged at the corner of the cabin.

[0034] The support assembly includes at least three spaced-apart support members, with their tops flush and working together to support the bottom of the container, thereby elevating the support level. At least one of the support members is a first support member, which is rod-shaped and used to support one corner of the container. Compared to the prior art, the support assembly in this application is arranged without affecting the loading and stacking arrangement of the containers within the cabin. While achieving support for the containers, it also saves material required for manufacturing the support assembly, effectively reducing its weight, and thus the structural weight of the empty hull.

[0035] The vertical distance between the top of the support and the bottom wall of the cabin is consistent with the height of the box, and the support position can be raised to be flush with the top of the first layer of boxes to facilitate the stacking of the second layer of boxes when multiple layers of boxes are stacked.

[0036] Furthermore, a fixing piece is provided on the top of each supporting piece for connecting and fixing with the bottom of the box body to support the box body and increase the stability of the box body.

[0037] Each fixing member is a stacked cone.

[0038] The specific embodiments of the ship of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
