Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for preventing damage to a bottom plug, and more particularly, to a device for preventing damage to a bottom plug by using a protective casing enclosing a bottom plug installed at the bottom of a tank when an internal pressure of a liquid cargo tank rises, And the drain hole is broken by an increase in the internal pressure in the process of sinking in the overturned state, thereby preventing the bottom plug from falling off.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bottom-

More particularly, the present invention relates to a bottom plug preventive device for preventing a bottom plug installed on the bottom of a liquid cargo tank from falling off due to the influence of internal pressure and air pressure rise at the time of ship overturning .

Bottom drain plug refers to a hole in a suitable location near the bottom of the tank for discharging residual water from various liquid cargo tanks (fuel tanks, fresh water tanks, ballast tanks, etc.) drain hole (hereinafter referred to as "drain hole"). It is completely sealed and covered with cement before being docked.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned installation regulations for the bottom plug are not specifically enforced in the international convention or the Rules for the Classification of Steel Ships, but they are mostly installed by the needs of the shipowner and the need for inspection. In addition, there is no requirement for strength by water pressure or air pressure, but watertightness must be ensured.

This is because, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to prevent the ship s from sinking when the ship is excessively inclined or overturned due to an accident during the ship operation, it is required to secure buoyancy above the weight of the ship. Since the air cushion inside the tank acts as a buoyant element, it is necessary to shut off the discharge of the air.

Based on this technical idea, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0056638 discloses a plug for a bottom of a ballast tank of a ship which is prevented from dropping out of the plug by improving the workability so as to facilitate the re- However, it does not have sufficient durability to withstand water pressure and air pressure due to the rise of the internal pressure of the liquid cargo tank, merely focusing on the structural complement of the purpose of disassembling and fixing the existing bottom plug.

Therefore, when the internal pressure of the ship sinks due to an accident, the bottom drain hole portion of the tank, which is relatively durable, may be easily broken. Accordingly, when the bottom plug is dropped, The air trapped in the inside of the ship has been spouted (air layer disappears), leading to the problem of accelerating the loss of buoyancy of the ship.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2014-0056638 (Published date: 2014. 05. 12.)

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above problems. When the internal pressure of the liquid cargo tank rises, the elevated pressure is primarily blocked so as not to act directly on the bottom plug, and when the pressure is excessive, Thereby preventing breakage of the tank bottom drain hole due to a rise in the pressure in the liquid cargo tank and consequent detachment of the bottom plug.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a method for preventing internal pressure generated due to inclination or rollover of a hull from directly acting on the bottom plug in a state of being separated from a bottom plug installed in a drain hole of a bottom of a liquid cargo tank of a ship A protective casing which is moved in accordance with a pressure increasing action when the pressure rises excessively and is brought into close contact with the bottom of the tank so as to surround the bottom plug; A support drum attached to the bottom of the tank for guiding the movement of the protective casing at the time of pressure rise, together with mounting and assembling of the protective casing; And a plurality of locking members provided on the support drum to prevent the protection casing from separating from the bottom of the tank.

The protection casing has a " C "-shaped structure so as not to interfere with the bottom plug when it is in close contact with the bottom of the tank, and an accommodation space opened in the direction of close contact with the bottom of the tank is provided inside. A plate made of a metal material having rigidity and durability capable of withstanding the rising pressure in the cargo tank and a finish material integrally protruding and attached to the entire one side edge of the plate material.

The support drum includes a flange integrally joined to the bottom of the tank with a periphery around the bottom plug as a center, and an operation space for securing the receiving and mounting range of the protective casing by being assembled successively on the upper side of the flange. And a cylindrical guider having a predetermined height so as to be provided on the inner side.

In the lower portion of the flange, at least one cutout portion is formed in the lower portion to enable the drainage of the residual water through the drain hole.

Wherein a plurality of mounting holes for internally receiving and assembling the locking member are formed in the guider at equal intervals on the upper side in a lateral direction and the locking member is inserted into the mounting hole so as to be partially protruded inside the guider An elastic spring having elasticity for pushing the locking bundle, and a wrench bolt fastened to the mounting hole for supporting the rear end of the elastic spring.

At the center of the outer surface of the plate, a recess is formed inwardly for centralizing the working pressure.

The finishing material is made of rubber or urethane material exhibiting stretchability and buffering force in order to alleviate impact and ensure watertightness when adhering to the bottom of the tank.

According to the present invention, when the accident occurs, the protective casing, which is spaced apart from the bottom of the tank, is primarily blocked so that the rising pressure does not directly affect the bottom plug when the ship's behavior changes and the internal pressure of the liquid cargo tank increases due to seawater inflow. The protection casing is wrapped around the bottom plug in a state in which the protection casing is in close contact with the bottom of the tank, thereby protecting the bottom drain hole of the tank due to the pressure rise and thereby preventing the bottom plug from falling off.

In other words, the air cushion of various liquid cargo tanks formed on the bottom of the ship is one of the factors contributing to the buoyancy to float the hull, and by securing buoyancy of the hull due to the above-mentioned action and effect, It is possible to prevent the sinking of the ship at the time of accident, or to delay it as much as possible, so that the rescue and towing can be facilitated.
