Description

FLOATING STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID FLOATING STRUCTURE COMPRISING PREFABRICATED ROOM UNITS AND SAID OF FORMING PREFABRICATED ROOM UNITS AND SAID PREFABRICATED ROOM UNITS}

The present invention relates to a method for producing a floating structure such as, for example, a marine ship, in which the body portion of the floating structure is formed, and the body portion is provided with a deck structure or a corresponding supporting structure. In addition, in this method, for example, the main interface 4 comprising a wall and a ceiling structure, at least a part of the indoor equipment of the room unit 3, for example, an exit duct for sanitary equipment, The room units 3 are prefabricated by providing means, such as inlet ducts, water pipes and / or electrical installations, such as means relating to indoor equipment located outside the interface 4 of the room unit 3, whereby The boundaries of the room units are arranged in such a way that a service zone in the form of a niche is formed outside the room unit.

The production of floating structures and the production of prefabricated room units and their transport and installation in floating structures are known. Subsequent installation of the room unit requires the connection of the room units to the floating structure system by means of piping and pipe connections, and a number of additional work steps that are time-consuming and expensive to interconnect. do. Typically these work steps are performed inside the floating structure after the room units are installed and the service area is formed outside of the room unit.

Especially for offshore vessels such as ships or oil rigs, these subsequent work steps involve welding and other operations with fire hazards in confined spaces, and in addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages, significant risks for the production of floating structures. Is holding. Working conditions in floating structures were difficult and dangerous for this reason.

It is an object of the present invention that the above mentioned disadvantages can be eliminated, and that a preproduction step is possible to achieve a method that is as complete and efficient as possible. This object is achieved by the present invention, the characteristics of which are disclosed in claim 1.

In the following, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings, the present invention is described in more detail for the purpose of illustration only.

1 shows a floating structure having a plurality of room units;

2 and 3 show the arrangement made in relation to the room unit;

4 is a plan view showing a service zone associated with two room units;

5 is a side view showing a service zone associated with two room units; And,

6 is a plan view showing a service zone associated with a single room unit.

The basic concept of the present invention consists of devices and structures in which the prefabrication of a room unit conveyed and installed into a floating structure comprises devices and structures located immediately around the room unit, the devices and structures being at least a floating system of the floating structure. It is to produce a floating structure that forms part of and is used for the room unit and other room units. In practice, this means that the service area of the room unit is prepared in advance in connection with the pre-production prior to returning and installing the room unit to the floating structure, so that the service area, not only for one room unit, but also for piping and other media Components are provided in connection with the conveying elements and their associated structures and / or systems of floating structures in connection with the operation and control means, whereby at least some of the components are serviced in connection with the pre-production outside of the room unit. It is attached to the interface at the side of the zone. In this way, a room unit with components related to the system of floating structures can be conveyed and installed in the floating structure, which is a substantial part of the construction process of the floating structure, in which the room unit is located at a place other than the floating structure. It means to be returned to be made in relation to preproduction.

The advantage of such a configuration is that, first, when the room unit is installed in a floating structure, instead of working in a confined space, such as a service area between the room units, the arrangement of the components in the service area is opened. It can be created in space (relative to preproduction). This solution eliminates the disadvantage of individually transporting large quantities of piping and other devices to the floating structure and moving them along narrow passageways into place associated with the room unit.

It also allows the components in the service area to be arranged as functionally as possible, taking into account the necessary services, repairs and coordination operations as well as the general access required by use. In this way the arrangement of components can be constant, i.e. standardized, which helps to rationalize the design of the floating structure. The number of required components can also be predicted more accurately, which has a positive effect of ensuring that the components are secured at the appropriate time.

In other words, the mounting work in the floating structure itself and the logistics of mounting and building the floating structure can be optimized by means of the present invention.

The components connected to the room unit in connection with the prefabrication are, for example, part of the heavy water piping of the floating structure, sewer piping, water supply piping, condensation or drainage piping, cooling water piping and / or fire fighting piping. have.

In addition to these, air conditioning piping and air conditioning equipment can be arranged in the service area.

Typically, room units are arranged as layers in the floating structure supported by the deck structure, whereby it is advantageous to attach the components to the penetration of the deck structure in connection with the prefabrication. It is advantageous to arrange the resilient coupling means between the component and the deck structure penetration. The through-hole of the pre-deployed deck structure can thus be conveyed with the room unit to the floating structure, thereby easily being installed on the deck structure between the layers of the room unit using the clearance given by the elastic coupling means. Can be. Thus, the finishing work carried out in the floating structure mainly consists of arranging the connections between the layers or the deck structure.

The invention also relates to a method for producing a prefabricated room unit according to claim 2.

The invention also relates to a floating structure according to claim 8 and a prefabricated room unit according to claim 9, preferred embodiments of which are described in claims 10 to 14.

In Fig. 1, the floating structure is indicated by reference numeral (1). The floating structure comprising the body part 100 has a deck structure or a corresponding support structure 2, on which a plurality of prefabricated, at least partially provided room units 3 are arranged. The room units 3 are disposed on both the lower portion 101 and the upper portion 103 of the body portion 100 of the floating structure 1. In the figure, the dotted line shows the state in which the components related to the systems 5 of the floating structure and the means related to the mounting of the room unit 3 are arranged outside the boundary 4 of the room unit 3. Its structure according to the invention is described in detail below.

The floating structure may be, for example, a marine vessel such as a ship or oil rig or other corresponding configuration. Thus, the main features of the embodiments discussed below are those that are generally applied to floating structures.

In the following description of one embodiment of the present invention, the floating structure is referred to as vessel 1 for convenience, whereby the room unit is referred to as cabin 3 and the interface is referred to as wall 4. In FIG. 1, below the so-called open deck 102 of the ship at the bottom 101 of the main body 100, or above the open deck 102 of the ship 1 at the top 103 of the hull of the ship and It shows that the cabins 3 are arrange | positioned at the hull part of the ship 1.

This allows the wall structures of the cabin structure, described in more detail below, to simultaneously form the outer wall of the ship or part thereof. For example, in passenger ships, the cabin structure, together with the walking deck inside by the cabin, may also form the inside or part of the vessel.

The service area 10 in the form of a niche is formed outside the cabin 3. For example, if the basic shape of the cabin is square, a corner of the rectangle may be formed with a niche extending towards the interior of the cabin, the shape of which is to be selected on the basis of the cabin's equipment or for other functional reasons. Can be. Examples of such service zones are shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6.

In FIG. 2, the cabin 3 is arranged on two overlapping signage structures 2. A portion of the tubing 6 is fixed (not shown) to the wall 4 of the cabin 3, which is connected to the means of the first elastic coupling means 7, such as an elastic tube or hose, for example providing a mounting spacing. By the system 5 of the ship and mutually. This is an example of components that are not directly connected to the prefabricated cabin 3, whereby they can be attached to the cabin in connection with the prefabrication before being returned to the cabin on the ship. Such components are, for example, part of the water supply pipe of a ship, sewer pipe, water supply pipe, condensation or drainage pipe, cooling water pipe, and / or fire pipe.

3 shows a configuration corresponding to the configuration of FIG. 2. In this case, the first pipe portions 61 are attached to the wall 4 of each cabin 3 by means of fastening means 9, for example pipe clamps fixed to the wall 4 by an arm. This fastening may be done directly to the wall by means of fastening straps. For example, the first piping portion 61, which is a heavy water and sewer pipe connected to the interior equipment of the cabin, is a component associated with one or more cabins. The first piping portions 61 may be connected to the cabin 3, but may be connected to the inlet and outlet ducts arranged in the cabin by, for example, elastic coupling means or by means of a conventional pipe part 8. have.

The first pipes 61 are coupled to the system 5 of the ship by means of the second elastic coupling means 71. The first pipe portions 61 attached to the superposed cabin 3 in FIG. 3 are connected to each other by two different ways. In the configuration, on the left side, the engagement is achieved by means of the third elastic coupling means 72, and on the right side by the combination of the third elastic coupling means 71 and the pipe coupling 63. Deck structure through-holes 13 can be used in conjunction with deck structure 2, which are described in connection with FIG.

Elastic coupling means can be replaced by a conventional pipe section or piping area.

4 and 5, a common service area 10 is formed between two cabins 3. The first means 11 (FIG. 4) associated with the installation of the cabin is provided on the outer wall 4 of one cabin 3 (left in the figure), for example the first means may be an outlet duct, an inlet duct or A second pipe 12, such as a water pipe, is installed outside the wall of the other cabin 3 (right side in the drawing). The components associated with the ship's system 5 are arranged inside the service area 10, such as the first piping 61 and the second piping 62, which are arranged by means of fastening means 9 in the left cabin. (3) is attached to the wall (4).

In FIG. 5, it is attached to a deck structure through-hole 13 arranged in the deck structure 2, for example, by means of elastic coupling means 14, such as an elastic tube or hose, which provides a clearance for installation. Deck structure through-hole 13 may be attached to the first pipe portion 61 in advance with respect to the pre-fabrication, thereby being conveyed to the ship with the prefabricated cabin assembly.

6 shows an alternative configuration for the cabin. In this case, the cabins 3 are arranged one by one, whereby an assigned service zone 10 is formed for each cabin 3. The service area 10 is connected to the switchboard 12 connected to the facility of the cabin 3 as well as the first piping part 61 and the second piping part 62 connected to the ship's system 5. In addition, air conditioning means 15 are arranged in the service area.

In a known system, air conditioning means are usually installed inside the cabin 3, thereby reducing the available area of the cabin and reducing the comfort of the cabin user.

In the drawings, the various means, components, coupling structures and use and control means described above may be functionally arranged in the service area. The switchboard 12 is easily accessible by being disposed above the pipe parts 61 and 62. Therefore, the air conditioning means 15 are installed in the same service area on the wall opposite the switchboard 12. The air conditioning unit may optionally be disposed between the pipe section and the switchboard.

It is clear that there are a number of possible deployment solutions, whereby the most efficient deployment can be selected taking into account the services, repairs, and conditions of use required in each case.

Of course, another consideration that affects this is the placement of service areas. For example, FIG. 4 shows two cabins arranged facing each other, thereby forming a common, wider service area for the cabins. Figure 6 shows similarly arranged cabins in series, whereby a smaller service zone is formed for each dock. The shape of the service area is also changed.

In connection with the pre-production of cabins, well-designed service areas may also include other spaces, such as space for temporary storage.

In relation to pre-production, the horizontal dimensions of the means and components attached to the service area of the cabin are preferably limited to the width of the service area, and their vertical dimensions are preferably the height of the service area, At least in height between deck structures or other corresponding supporting structures.

The cabins may be returned to the ship in groups, for example two cabins on top of each other, so that there may be no actual deck structure between the cabins. Therefore, the above standard in the vertical direction can be defined corresponding to the heights of the two cabins.

In practice, the height between the deck structures of the ship is, for example, 2700 mm, whereby a prefabricated pipe of about 2200 mm can be conveyed with the cabin. This is of great importance for finishing operations on board ships.

The method according to the present invention includes the following.

The vessel, or indeed its hull, is partly or wholly built in a manner known per se.

Cabins are often assembled at least around walls and ceiling structures around the factory, whereby any doors, windows and balcony structures can be attached as needed. The walls are arranged such that the service area is formed in the form of a niche in the cabin.

Thereafter, the interior of the cabin is provided as desired, whereby the necessary external connections are led through the walls of the service area. Thereafter, all means associated with the cabin (as described above), at least the components used in the cabin or other components primarily related to the ship's living system, are arranged in the service area. They are arranged in a way that is suitable for future use, ensuring the necessary access and leaving enough space for service and repair work in the service area.

The means and components are arranged such that they do not extend to the boundaries of the cabin or outside of the service area. The deck structure penetrations used with the piping can then be individually installed on the ship or can be easily attached to the piping and carried with the cabin.

At this stage, the prefabricated cabin assembly can be returned to the ship. The only remaining work on the ship is to connect the means and components associated with that part of the ship's living system. For example, by using elastic hoses and sliding couplings with piping, the connection can be easily performed with a small amount of tools without the use of means that can cause welding or other corresponding hazards.

In this way, the finishing steps carried out on the ship are reduced and the connections associated with finishing the prefabricated cabins are easily implemented in pre-located service areas.

The foregoing description and related drawings are merely intended to clarify the basic concepts of the invention. The details of the invention may vary within the scope of the claims.
