Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method for inspecting a crack in a cargo hold,

The present invention relates to a method for inspecting a cargo hold crack and a crack inspection apparatus therefor.

The cargo hold of a ship is made of a material that can withstand cryogenic temperatures because it stores liquefied natural gas (LNG) cooled to about -163 ° C. It has an insulation structure that is resistant to thermal stress and heat shrinkage and can block heat intrusion. To this end, the cargo hold has a primary barrier, an upper insulation board, a secondary barrier and a lower insulation board and is provided in combination with an inner hull.

In the ceiling of the cargo hold, there is installed a liquefying water reservoir for unloading liquefied natural gas, and a gas discharge passage for discharging evaporative gas of the liquefied natural gas stored in the cargo hold. Various piping and the like for discharging evaporative gas of the liquefied natural gas stored in the cargo hold are complicatedly installed in the gas discharge passage.

The cargo hold is provided with a pump tower for loading and unloading liquefied natural gas. The pump tower is connected to the loading device and includes a filling pipe for introducing the liquefied natural gas into the cargo hold, a discharge pipe connected to the unloading device for discharging the liquefied natural gas inside the cargo hold, And emergency pipe used. The pipe of this pump tower is provided in the form of a truss-structured pipe structure. The pump tower is typically installed close to the bulkhead of the aft side and is supported by a base support provided on the bottom of the cargo hold in a fixed state on a liquid dome.

On the other hand, the space existing between the primary barrier and the secondary barrier of the cargo hold is filled with nitrogen gas. This is so that a constant pressure difference is maintained between the pressure inside the cargo hold and the pressure in the corresponding space filled with the nitrogen gas. For example, when the pressure inside the cargo hold filled with liquefied natural gas is in the range of 100 to 250 mbar, the pressure of the nitrogen gas filled in the space between the primary barrier and the secondary barrier is in the range of 5 to 10 mbar G Lt; / RTI > At this time, it is possible to determine whether the nitrogen gas and the liquefied natural gas leak or not by comparing the pressure difference with the internal set value.

In this regard, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2010-0088437 (hereinafter referred to as "Prior Art") discloses a method of injecting nitrogen gas into a primary heat insulating zone of a cargo hold, Discloses a technology for detecting the occurrence of a crack in a cargo area by sensing a change in the surface temperature of the film from a long distance. At this time, the nitrogen gas of the related art performs a function of preventing the vaporization of the supplied liquefied LNG to some extent by pre-cooling the temperature inside the cargo hold.

However, in the case of the prior art, after the temperature of the cargo window is cooled to a certain degree using nitrogen gas, a person must directly lift the camera equipment and find a site where cracks exist. At this time, it is very difficult to find the portion where fine cracks are generated by using nitrogen gas which is different from the actual temperature of the LNG filled in the cargo hold. If the actual LNG is filled in the cargo hold without finding any fine cracks, the area where the cracks are present may be enlarged and lead to a post LNG leak accident. It is also very difficult to check the presence of cracks due to liquefied natural gas at extremely low temperatures in the state where the liquefied natural gas is filled in the cargo hold.

In FIG. 1, the barrier structure including the primary barrier 3, the secondary barrier 5 and the upper / lower heat insulating boards 7 and 8 has been simplified to facilitate understanding.

3, the cargo hold 100 may include a reinforced loaded area R and a normally loaded area N depending on the extent to which the sloshing impact is applied, . ≪ / RTI > The sloshing load region R is a region in which a sloshing impact generated by the flow of the LNG carrier in the cargo hold 100 is greater than that applied to the general region N,

The general region N is a region where the LNG load due to a relatively sloshing impact is smaller than the sloshing load region R and includes regions except for the sloshing load region R described above. The crack inspection apparatus 200 can perform the crack inspection with priority given to the sloshing load region R where the degree of sloshing impact is large.

As shown in FIG. 2, the crack inspection apparatus 200 includes a robot 210, a control device 220, and a spray device 230.

The robot 210 includes a header portion 211, a joint portion 212, and a transmission / reception portion 213. The robot 210 may be installed such that the joint part 212 supporting the header part 211 extends to the inside of the cargo hold 100. For example, 5) or an opening of a liquid dome (not shown) or the like. The portion through which the joint part 212 of the robot 210 passes may be sealed by a sealing means including a heat insulating material 201 or the like on the ceiling side of the cargo hold 100. [

The header portion 211 is installed inside the cargo hold 100 and houses a camera or the like for detecting the presence of a crack in the inner wall of the cargo hold 100. [ The camera can be protected by the header portion 211 so that it can be used even at a cryogenic temperature, and can include an infrared camera, a CC camera, and the like. The header portion 211 can be rotatably mounted on the joint portion 212 by a motor or the like.

The transmission / reception unit 213 may be provided in the header unit 211, and may transmit the photographing information to the control unit 220 through wired / wireless communication. When wired communication is performed, the communication line may be inserted through the inside of the joint part 212 to connect the transmission / reception unit 213 and the external device to each other.

The control device 220 may control the robot 210 to perform a crack inspection operation on the inner wall of the cargo hold 100. [ In addition, the control device 220 can transmit a control command to the spray device 230 to spray the cooling fluid to the inner wall of the cargo hold 100.

This is because there is a high possibility that cracks exist in the sloshing load region R where the sloshing impact is large, and there is a high possibility that the fine cracks already existing are further enlarged by the sloshing impact.

The history information storage unit 223 stores information on the result of previous crack inspection on the inner wall of the cargo hold 100. [ The controller 220 can control the robot 210 to perform a crack inspection operation based on the information stored in the history information storage unit 223 with respect to the portion where the crack was previously present and the repair was performed. This is because, even if the repair is performed, there is a high possibility that cracks are generated again in the area where the cracks existed before.

The map storage unit 224 stores map information that divides the cargo hold 100 into a plurality of block areas. 4, the cargo hold 100 may be divided into a plurality of block areas B based on the design information of the cargo hold 100, and the map storage part 224 may store the cargo hold information as the cargo hold map information . This is because if the crack region 100a is included in the specific block region B1, the control unit 220 can easily detect a cracked portion and control the robot 210 to perform a more detailed inspection In order to be able to carry out. 4, the robot 210 is omitted for convenience of explanation.

The extracting unit 226 extracts a block region in a region where a crack exists based on the photographing information and map information photographed by the camera of the robot 210. [ The extracted block area may be stored in the storage unit 225 as a set value. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, if the extraction unit 226 extracts the block area B1 in which the crack 100a exists based on the photographing information and the map information for the part where the crack 100a exists The controller 220 controls the joint part 212 so that the header part 211 of the robot 210 approaches the block area B1 in which the crack 100a exists using the extracted information. At this time, the photographing information about the site where the crack 100a exists may include information about the image, the photographing angle, and the like of the relevant region. Based on the image analysis and photographing angle, (B1) can be extracted. As an image analysis method, for example, an edge extraction method may be used.

2, 5 and 6, the spray device 230 includes a spray pipe 240 for receiving a cooling fluid from a cooling fluid supply source 321, and a spray pipe 240 provided at one end of the spray pipe 240, And a nozzle portion 250 for spraying the cooling fluid to the inner wall.

The cargo hold 100 needs to cool the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 beforehand to prevent thermal shock before injecting the cryogenic liquid such as liquefied natural gas into the cargo hold 100. To this end, the stored cooling fluid may be injected into the inner wall of the hold 100. At this time, when there is a crack in the inner wall of the cargo hold 100, the corresponding crack is enlarged by the cooling fluid. This makes it easy to detect minute cracks through the crack inspection apparatus 200. The cooling fluid comprises liquefied natural gas.

The gas passage furnace structure 301 is provided at one side of the ceiling of the cargo hold 100 for discharging (evaporating) gas in the cargo hold 100 for storing the liquid. For example, the gas passage structure 301 may be installed at the center of the ceiling portion. However, the installation position of the gas passage furnace structure 301 is not limited to this, and may be provided at another portion of the ceiling portion.

The gas pipe furnace structure 301 includes a pipeline structure 310, a spray pipe 240, a nozzle unit 250, and a pressure control valve structure 260 installed outside the pipeline structure for controlling the pressure inside the cargo hold . The pressure control valve structure 260 is briefly labeled for simplicity of illustration. Here, the channel structure 310 is installed so as to pass through one side of the ceiling of the cargo hold 100, and discharges the gas inside the cargo hold 100 to the outside. The outer surface of the channel structure 310 may be provided with a heat insulating material 310a for heat insulation.

The spray pipe 240 extends from the outside of the pipeline structure 310 to the inside of the cargo hold 100 through the pipeline structure 310 and supplies the cooling fluid to the inside of the cargo hold 100. One or more spray pipes 240 may be provided, and two spray pipes 240 are provided in this embodiment. In addition, the spray pipe 240 may be partially bent so as to cope with heat shrinkage and thermal expansion due to cryogenic liquid contents. At one end of the spray pipe 240 extending to the inside of the cargo hold 100, a nozzle unit 250 for injecting a cooling fluid to the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 is installed.

The nozzle unit 250 injects the cooling fluid flowing along the spray pipe 240 into the inner wall of the cargo hold 100. The nozzle unit 250 may include a frame 253 and an injection nozzle 255.

The frame 253 is in communication with the pipes 240a and 240b constituting the spray pipe 240 extended to the inside of the cargo hold 100 and formed in a number corresponding to the number of the pipes 240a and 240b, . At this time, each frame 253 may be connected to each of the pipes 240a and 240b of the spray pipe 240 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Such a frame 253 may be located on the ceiling of the cargo hold 100. In addition, the frame 253 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the shape of the ceiling of the cargo hold 100, and may be provided in a circular rim shape, for example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be formed in various rim shapes such as a polygon including a rectangle. That is, if the ceiling of the hold 100 having the gas passage structure 301 is rectangular, it may be advantageous for efficient cooling to be formed by a frame 253 having a rectangular frame shape rather than a circular shape.

The injection nozzle 255 is a part for injecting a cooling fluid, and a plurality of the injection nozzles 255 may be provided in the periphery of the frame 253 at a certain distance along the shape of the frame 253. The cooling fluid flowing along the pipes 240a and 240b of the spray pipe 240 reaches the frame 253 and is injected to the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 through the injection nozzle 255. [ Each injection nozzle 255 may be formed in a zigzag shape toward the inside of the hold 100 so that the injection ranges do not overlap. To this end, jet nozzles 255 are alternately arranged in each frame 253 on which the layer is disposed, so that the cooling fluid is jetted in a zigzag pattern through the jet nozzles 255.

Hereinafter, a method for inspecting a cargo hold crack will be described based on the contents described in Figs. 1 to 6. Fig.

First, before the liquefied natural gas is injected into the cargo hold 100, the cooling fluid is sprayed on the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 using the spray device 230 provided in the cargo hold 100 to cool it in advance (step A1) . The cooling fluid is supplied from the cooling fluid supply source 231 through the pipe 240 and the cooling fluid is supplied from the ceiling portion side of the cargo hold 100 through the nozzle portion 250 provided at one end of the pipe 240, As shown in FIG. The cooling fluid may be liquefied natural gas. When fine cracks 100a (see FIG. 4) are present, their size can be enlarged by the cooling fluid.

Next, using a camera attached to the robot 210, a portion indicating a temperature different from that of the surrounding due to a crack in the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 is detected (step A2). In the above step A1, the temperature of the portion where the fine cracks 100a are present is enlarged by the cooling fluid as compared with the other portions.

Referring to FIG. 7, first, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) is injected into the cargo hold 100 to fill the cargo hold 100 (step B1). The liquefied natural gas (LNG) may be filled into the cargo hold 100 through a pump tower (not shown). In the state where the liquefied natural gas (LNG) is filled, the size of the portion where the crack of the cargo hold 100 exists is enlarged.

Next, using a camera attached to the robot 210, a portion where the bubble 9 is generated due to a crack at the inner wall of the cargo hold 100 is sensed (step B2). As described above, it is possible to detect a portion where cracks are effectively present even in the state where the liquefied natural gas is filled in the cargo hold 10.

In the above-described steps A2 and B2, a crack inspection operation may be performed with priority given to a region where the sloshing impact is large, or a crack inspection operation may be performed first on a region where a crack has previously occurred . Or a crack inspection operation may be performed according to an internal set value while approaching the side wall and the bottom surface from the cargo hold ceiling portion. This operation can be set differently depending on the shape and structure of the cargo hold.

In the above-described steps A2 and B2, when a site where a crack 100a exists due to an ambient temperature difference or a bubble is detected, photographing information including an image of the site may be transmitted to the control device 220 have. As shown in Fig. 4, the controller 220 extracts the block area B1 of the part where the crack 100a exists, based on the photographing information and the map information of the corresponding part, And controls the robot 210. The controller 220 moves the header portion 211 of the robot 210 to a distance close to the block region B1 under the control of the joint portion 212 and performs a close inspection on a portion where the crack 100a exists .

Each component shown in FIG. 2 may be composed of a 'module'. The term 'module' refers to a hardware component such as software or a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and the module performs certain roles. However, a module is not limited to software or hardware. A module may be configured to reside on an addressable storage medium and may be configured to execute one or more processors.
