Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to tooling design technology and relates to a fixing device and method suitable for marine transportation of a complete helicopter. Background Art

[0002] As an important aircraft, helicopters are widely used in military, civil and rescue fields. With the increasing demand for helicopters in various countries, the overseas trade business of helicopters will be further promoted. The traditional sea transportation of helicopters mainly adopts the method of fixing helicopters on the deck of container cargo ships, and firmly tying the mooring points of the ship deck and the helicopter mooring points to prevent the helicopter from moving during sea transportation. Although this method is simple and easy to implement, it has many hidden dangers. First, the helicopter body is directly moored with steel wire ropes, which requires high structural strength of the mooring points of the helicopter. If the preload force is too large during the tying process or the hull rolls or pitches at sea, it is easy to cause unilateral force on the helicopter body, or even excessive force on a single point, which may cause damage to the helicopter body. Secondly, the helicopter is directly fixed on the ship deck. In case of bad weather or long-term sea transportation, natural environmental factors such as salt spray, humidity, and mold will put forward higher requirements for the packaging of the helicopter. In addition, the helicopter fixed on the ship deck will occupy multiple cargo spaces, increase transportation costs, and affect the loading and unloading efficiency of other containers. In order to improve this situation, an effective method is urgently needed to solve this problem. Summary of the invention

The rear end of the transport auxiliary device falls on the ground support wheel set (110) constrained by the top of the container; Step 3: Using the guide rail (140) inside the container to guide, the rolling assembly (130) supports the transport auxiliary device (100) to slide into the freight container to a designated position; Step 4, counterclockwise twisting the eye screw (131) of the rolling assembly (130) causes the steel wheel to be reversely supported and lifted by the guide rail (140) inside the box due to the gravity of the transport auxiliary device (100), and the bottom surface of the transport auxiliary device (100) contacts the bottom plate surface of the freight container (150); Step 5: rigidly connecting the transport auxiliary device (100) and the freight container (150) into one piece through the in-box limit assembly (120); Step 6: The mooring rigging assembly (170) fastens the helicopter, the transport auxiliary device (100) and the freight container (150) securely, wherein the helicopter wire rope assembly (171) is connected to fasten the helicopter mooring point and the pallet lifting ring (4) of the transport auxiliary device (100), and the container wire rope assembly (172) is connected to fasten the pallet mooring column (6) of the transport auxiliary device (100) and the mooring point on the edge of the container cavity, thereby realizing secondary mooring; Step 7: The first helicopter sea transport is secured and the cargo container with the helicopter secured is directly shipped to the port to complete the port's hoisting and loading, without the need for tedious operations at the port; Step 8, after arriving at the destination, place the ground support wheel assembly (110) at the door of the freight container (150), untie the container wire rope assembly (172) and disassemble the limit assembly (120) in the container, turn the eye screw (131) of the rolling assembly (130) clockwise, use the steel wheel (136) to support the transport auxiliary device (100) to raise it, and manually push the transport auxiliary device (100) loaded with the helicopter to slide out of the container along the track (140) in the container. After reaching the designated position, it is moved away by the frame beam hanger (160) to carry out the subsequent helicopter reassembly task; at this point, the packing, fastening and unpacking work of the helicopter at sea transportation is completed.

10. The method according to claim 9, characterized in that After step seven, the method further comprises: Step 9. After the transport auxiliary device (100) is slid out of the container along the inner track (140) to the designated position according to steps 1 to 7, the front lifting fixture (2), the rear lifting fixture (5) and the helicopter wire rope assembly (171) of the transport auxiliary device (100) are untied, and the helicopter is directly lifted off by the helicopter hoist. The transport auxiliary device (100) is returned to the freight container and fixed therein, and is ready for installation and fastening operations next time.
