Description

Lashing rod device for container ship

Container vessels are known in which a lashing bridge includes a first eye disposed at the walking height of the sidewalk from which the first lashing rod extends upwardly to secure the container at the top level of the adjacent container stack. . In addition, the vessel includes a second lashing idler at the lower deck level of 3-4m, from which the second lashing rod holds the container at the lower level which is normally the second level of the container upwards from the deck. Extend upwards. The lower level of the container is fixed directly to the hatch cover of the deck. The lashing rod is formed by a sturdy steel bar extending a large rigging screw with a total weight of 40-50 kg and a total length of about 4 m.

During the cycle of securing stacked containers, employees preferentially lash all containers located at the lower level and work in a standing position on the deck with the raised arm with the lashing rod mounted. NASA staff must walk up to the sidewalks of the lashing bridge and continue the process of lashing containers located at the top level. This results in a slow work process when the container is loaded and unloaded. This adds to the cost of a significant portion of today's freight estimates. Keep in mind that ships often load up to 5000-6000 containers (half of which are stacked on deck), so there are quite a few containers to be lashed.

Moreover, the above method of lashing or securing the onboard container is not optimal in view of the specific forces acting on the stacked containers. Thus, by securing the container by inclined lashing rods extending from one level to another, the deformation of the lowermost container by the uppermost container following the movement of the vessel during sailing cannot usually be limited to the desired degree, Cause stability problems.

The present invention relates to a container ship. Container vessels with transverse lashing bridges mounted on the upper deck of a ship are known in the art. Lashing bridges include several types of locks and / or fastening devices that secure adjacent containers stacked on top of each other at several levels.

1 is a perspective view of a container according to the present invention;

2 is a side view of one of the lashing bridges of the container and

3 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention.

purpose

It is an object of the present invention to provide a container ship of the type mentioned in the preceding paragraph, which allows for faster lashing of the container, thereby bringing higher profits to the service industry of the container ship and at the same time stacking the containers more stably and reliably.

Novelty of invention

The container ship of the present invention is characterized in that the lashing bridge includes a second lashing eye located at substantially the same level as the first lashing eye. The second lashing rod extends substantially outside horizontally from the second lashing eye to secure the container.

advantage

An advantage of the present invention is that the entire lashing of the stacked containers can occur at the same walking level. This results in a fast lashing process, because employees can work efficiently and can finish lashing of related container stacks from the same walk level, ie from the sidewalk of a new lashing bridge.

In addition, a substantially horizontally extending lashing rod prevents the deformation of the container, for example preventing the container from being deformed to take a parallelogram form, the upper part of which is laterally displaced relative to the lower part of the container. .

In this context, it is noted that the actual horizontal path of the second lashing rod allows the container to carry greater weight than would be the case in known container ships. In addition, the lashing rods can be loaded directly in the horizontal position in which they are used.

Operation mode

When lashing a container, a container stack is placed between two consecutive lashing bridges. The lower level of the container is placed directly on the hatch.

Thus, employees can access all the lashing rods from the sidewalk of the lashing bridge and in addition the children of the lashing rod can be placed at a suitable working height (eg 1 m above the walking level).

The first lashing rod is then secured in a direction to the container located at the upper level in a stack, and the second lashing rod is secured to the container located at the second level of the stacked container seen upwards from the lower level, preferably the hatch It is actually fixed horizontally outside.

Finally, the container is secured in a stack by tightening the ridging screw of the lashing rod.

The actual horizontal path of the second lashing rod also ensures very "user-centric" lashing, in which case employees do not necessarily have to lift the lashing rod and can relate to what was previously possible with the known lashing bridge. Larger weights of stacked containers are stackable while facing.

Advantageous Embodiments

In an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the level of the lashing eye may be arranged at an interval between 2.59 m (8.5 ft) and 2.90 m (9.5 ft) above the level holding the container stack.

In another convenient embodiment of the invention, the walking level of the sidewalk is lowered between 0.5 and 1.5 m in relation to the level of the lashing eye. This allows employees to work in a standing position and eliminates the need to bend to hold the lashing rod during mounting and also reduces the number of injuries.

In addition, the lashing bridge may be provided with an oblique shoring which conveniently absorbs the transverse from the horizontal lashing rod acting on the bridge. This is especially the case while sailing in inclement weather.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

The container ship 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes a lashing bridge 1. The lashing bridge 1 extends transversely to the vessel 20 to secure an intermediate stack (not shown) of a container disposed on the hatch cover in the deck of the vessel.

As can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lashing bridge 1 is composed of a column structure supported by a vertical column 2 standing upright from the deck 18 of the container ship 20. In an embodiment of the invention the diagonal strut is inclined between the columns 2 to absorb the lateral forces acting on the lashing bridge during navigation.

Each of the lashing bridges 1 is provided with a first lashing rod 9 for fastening the container 8 to an upper level, which is the third level of the stacked containers seen upwards from the hatch cover in the illustrated embodiment. A first lashing eye 7 extending in the direction. According to the invention, the lashing bridge is adapted to fix the container 8 at a lower level, which may be at the same level as the first lashing eye 7 and may be a second level of stacked containers as shown therefrom. The second lashing rod 10 also includes a second lashing eye 17 extending laterally horizontally. The lower level of the container lies directly on the hatch. The lashing rod is fixed to the lower part of the container concerned and extends diagonally for the purpose of absorbing the transverse during navigation.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, all lashing eyes 7, 17 are 2.59 m (8.5 feet) above the deck level and 2.90 m (9.5) above the level between the container's lowest and highest standard heights. Is located at a level between feet). Particularly high flexibility is obtained when the lashing eye is located at half the level between the two standard heights mentioned, because the horizontal lashing rod has the lowest standard position (8.5 feet) for the container stack (or at least the lowest container). Either it extends slightly obliquely downward in the case of) or slightly obliquely upwards when this container stack has the highest standard height (9.5 feet).

The lashing bridge comprises an upper horizontal walkway 4. Staff 5 can move around this sidewalk and handle the lashing rods 9, 10.

The walking level of the sidewalk 4 may be arranged at a lower level than the lashing eyes 7, 17. In the illustrated embodiment, the walking level of the sidewalk 4 is at the level of about 1 m below the lashing eyes 7, 17. Furthermore, the sidewalk 4 has a rigid hand rail 6 which forms the upper boundary of the lashing bridge 1.

In the illustrated embodiment, the handrail 6 is in connection with the lower column structure 12 to provide a particularly stable and load bearing structure, so that the lashing eyes 7, 17 are fixed directly to the handrail 6. Can be. In addition, the handrail 6 prevents employees 5 from falling from the lashing bridge.

The container 8 is fixed at the point where the lashing rod is engaged with the groove 12 in the lower corner of the container 8.

In FIG. 3, the first lashing rod 9 extends upwardly to the container 8 located at the third container level seen in relation to the lid 18 corresponding to the upper container tire, and the second lashing rod 10. Is clearly shown how it actually extends horizontally outside to secure the container 8 to the second container level shown in relation to the hatch 18 corresponding to the lower container level.

In addition, the lashing rods 9 and 10 extend obliquely in the upward / forward direction. Each of the lashing rods 9, 10 is fixed to a container 8 located on the side of the associated lashing eyes 7, 17 as shown in FIG. 2.

The lashing rods 9, 10 consist of an outer end 11 which is adapted to engage the recess 12 in the container 8. In addition, the lashing rods 9, 10 have internal ends pivotally engaged with the lashing eyes 7, 17 so that the lashing rods 9, 10 have a stable position in which they extend substantially parallel to the lashing bridge 1. And a lashing position fixed at each of the upper container level and the lower container level.

Since the lashing rod may comprise several removable parts in a known manner, such as the intermediate part 14, the hooks 15 and 16 and the ridging screw 22, the length thereof can easily be adapted to the various standard sizes of the container. have.

The ridging screw 22 is used to tighten the lashing rod to securely hold the container after mounting.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the lashing rod 1 furthermore comprises a lower walking level 21, which is used exclusively for the service industry or the like.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, six lashing bridges 1 are mounted on a container ship. However, the number of lashing bridges may vary depending on the length of the vessel 20 and the size of the container 8.

The lashing bridge 1 can likewise be configured in many ways within the scope of the invention. For example, the diagonal strut 3 can be replaced with an entire plate, and the handrail can have another shape, such that the bridge does not necessarily have to be in a column structure.
