Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of corrosion testing equipment, and particularly relates to a testing device, method and application for simulating the operation of a ship's stern shaft. Background Technology

[0002] The stern shaft, as the last section of the shafting system, is used to connect to the propeller and transmit power. The stern shaft operates under harsh conditions, being susceptible to corrosion from seawater and subjected to twisting and alternating bending stress, leading to various malfunctions and eventual failure. Therefore, conducting simulated operational studies of the stern shaft in a marine environment is of great significance.

[0003] Based on the above analysis, the existing technologies have the following problems and shortcomings: There are two main methods for studying the corrosion of materials in marine environments: one is on-site exposure testing of materials in actual marine environments, and the other is corrosion testing of materials in simulated marine environments. While the first method can realistically reflect the corrosion resistance in actual marine environments and provides accurate and reliable data, the test conditions are uncontrollable, the test cycle is long, the speed is slow, and it consumes a large amount of manpower and resources. The second method, although controllable, time-limited, and efficient, currently used simulation testing equipment cannot simultaneously and completely simulate the environment in which the stern shaft is located, making it difficult to achieve a realistic evaluation of the stern shaft's operating state. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, the present invention discloses a testing device, method, and application for simulating the operation of a ship's stern shaft.

The specific description is as follows:

[0054] Existing devices for simulating ship stern shaft operation and marine corrosion cannot perfectly replicate the real marine environment in which the stern shaft operates. The purpose of this invention is to provide a device that integrates multiple factors to simulate the operation of a ship stern shaft. This invention simulates the real operating environment of a ship stern shaft and tests its erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and the tensile and torque forces it withstands. As a device for testing stern shafts, this invention can test workpieces of varying sizes and lengths manufactured under different processes. It can also simultaneously operate different workpieces under the same conditions, facilitating comparative experiments and reducing errors caused by differences in the external environment. The liquid in the chamber can be adjusted according to testing needs, not only simulating different sea areas and external marine environments, but also simulating extreme marine environments such as high-acid environments to further test the performance of the workpiece under test.

[0055] Second, considering the technical solution as a whole or from the perspective of the product, the technical effects and advantages of the technical solution to be protected by this invention are specifically described as follows:

They can be removed and installed through the opening at the top of the housing, and the housing cover is independently sealed, avoiding frequent disassembly and installation that could shorten their service life. The bearings in this equipment are mostly connected by couplings and keys, which can effectively transmit torque.

[0057] The test piece dimensions of this invention are adjustable. The equipment uses a three-jaw chuck fixture, which allows for adjustment of the test piece diameter. Four slide rails are distributed on the housing, and the bearing bracket can move back and forth and be fixed in any position via the slide rails. The length of the workpiece being tested is adjustable.

[0058] This invention is expandable because it features multiple three-jaw chuck clamps and four slide rails on the housing. The bearing bracket can move back and forth and be fixed at any position via the slide rails, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of multiple test pieces.

[0059] This invention can simulate a variety of different marine environments. The tank serves as the component that carries the liquid required for the test. The liquid can be adjusted according to the test requirements. It can not only simulate different sea areas and different external marine environments, but also simulate extreme marine environments such as high acidity to further test the performance of the workpiece under test.

[0063] This can reduce the costs associated with labor, transportation, and real-time monitoring when placing the manufactured shaft parts into the ocean for simulated corrosion experiments.

[0064] It can reduce the costs associated with erosion in simulated marine environments, including machinery, labor, transportation, and real-time monitoring. It allows for simultaneous impact and corrosion resistance testing of multiple parts, reducing the number of experimental steps, ensuring consistent testing conditions, and minimizing the cost of multiple inspections.

[0065] It can mimic the liquid environment in different sea areas and marine environments, fundamentally reducing labor, transportation, and testing costs.

[0066] Reduce the risks of sea trials and make testing more convenient.

[0067] (2) The technical solution of this invention fills a technical gap in the industry both domestically and internationally:

It can test the erosion and corrosion resistance of shaft components and monitor data such as torque and rotational speed in real time. Furthermore, it can test workpieces of different diameters and lengths, reducing the size limitations of the shafts being tested. Multiple workpieces can also be operated simultaneously under identical conditions, ensuring consistency of external conditions and facilitating comparisons. Finally, it can simulate different sea areas and external marine environments, as well as extreme marine environments such as high-acid environments, to further test the performance of the workpieces under test.

[0069] (3) Whether the technical solution of the present invention solves the technical problem that people have long wanted to solve but have never been able to solve successfully:

[0070] This invention provides a testing device and method for simulating the operation of ship stern shafts under real-world conditions. It can test the erosion and corrosion resistance of shaft components and monitor data such as torque and rotational speed in real time. Furthermore, it can test workpieces of different diameters and lengths, reducing the size limitations of the shafts being tested. Multiple workpieces can also be operated simultaneously under identical conditions, ensuring consistency of external conditions and facilitating comparisons. Finally, it can simulate different sea areas and external marine environments, including extreme marine environments such as high-acid environments, to further test the performance of the workpieces under test. This invention solves the problems of testing ship stern shafts in different marine environments, the inability to strictly define shaft dimensions due to different processes, and the inability to guarantee environmental consistency in multiple tests. It reduces testing costs and significantly reduces the dangers of sea trials, making testing more convenient.

[0071] (4) Does the technical solution of the present invention overcome technical bias?

[0145] III. Evidence of the relevant effects of the embodiments:

[0146] This invention relates to a testing device and method for simulating the operation of a ship's stern shaft. Compared to existing equipment, this invention can more comprehensively simulate the operation of a ship's stern shaft and realistically reflect the external loads and environment borne by the stern shaft. Compared to connecting the shaft to the test shaft via a coupling, this invention uses a three-jaw chuck to fix the test shaft, reducing limitations on the size of the test shaft. Compared to testing a single shaft, this invention can simultaneously test multiple shafts of different sizes using multiple double-sided clamps, facilitating comparative testing and reducing errors caused by differences in the external environment.

[0147] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, and within the spirit and principles of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
