Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ship vibration reduction and noise reduction, specifically to the installation method of large vibration isolation devices and airbag vibration damper inflation system. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of shipbuilding technology, the requirements for vibration and noise indicators are becoming increasingly stringent. Vibration isolation devices, as an important measure to suppress the transmission of equipment vibration, directly affect the vibration transmission and shock resistance of the equipment through their installation posture and precision. To reduce the transmission of equipment vibration, vibration isolation devices are becoming increasingly larger and more integrated. Vibration dampers are also evolving from rubber dampers to large airbag dampers with their inflation systems. This has led to problems such as high requirements for the positioning and installation precision of vibration isolation devices, and the complex and diverse piping, components, and accessories of airbag dampers and their inflation systems, resulting in complicated and cumbersome installations. These issues seriously restrict the quality and progress of shipbuilding.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an accurate, efficient, and highly operable method for installing large-scale vibration isolation devices and airbag inflation systems, so as to ensure low-noise installation of integrated equipment and reduce the radiated noise of ships. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the low-noise installation quality of integrated shipboard equipment, ensure its impact resistance, and achieve automatic attitude control of large vibration isolation devices, this invention proposes an installation method for large vibration isolation devices and airbag damper inflation systems. This method adjusts the installation position of the large vibration isolator using a support device. First, the airbag damper, limiter, and displacement sensor are marked and positioned on the large vibration isolation device, and holes are drilled. After drilling, the corresponding devices are released, and the support device is adjusted to control the height difference of the upper surface of the large vibration isolation device. Then, adjustment shims are made according to the working height of the airbag damper and the large vibration isolation device. The air source components and adapter cables are installed, and power is connected for testing, thus solving the technical problems of installing large vibration isolation devices and airbag damper inflation systems.

[0005] The solution adopted by this invention to solve the technical problem is: a method for installing a large vibration isolation device and an airbag shock absorber inflation system, which is achieved through the following steps:

[0006] 1) Install support devices to support large vibration isolation devices and adjust the installation position of large vibration isolation devices;

[0007] 2) Fix the airbag shock absorber, limiter and displacement sensor on the large vibration isolation device. According to the positioning size requirements, fine-tune and check the position of the large vibration isolation device. After the positioning check is qualified, mark the position of the mounting holes of the airbag shock absorber, limiter and displacement sensor.

[0008] 3) Drill mounting holes for the base according to the mounting hole positions of the airbag shock absorber, limiter, and displacement sensor on the bottom plate. After installing the bottom plate of the airbag shock absorber and limiter on the base, loosen the fixed connection between the airbag shock absorber, limiter, and large vibration isolation device. Adjust the support device and measure the plane of the upper surface of the large vibration isolation device to ensure that the height difference of the upper surface of the large vibration isolation device is controlled within 1.2mm.

[0009] 4) Based on the working height H0 of the airbag shock absorber and the measured distance H1 from the base to the large vibration isolation device, determine the thickness (H1-H0) of the airbag shock absorber adjustment shim and make the adjustment shim.

[0010] 5) Measure the actual dimension between the lower surface of the large vibration isolation device and the base as L1 and the height dimension of the limiter as L2, and determine the thickness of the limiter adjusting shim (L1-L2); fix the airbag shock absorber and airbag shock absorber adjusting shim, limiter and limiter adjusting shim on the large vibration isolation device.

[0011] 6) Connect and install the upper surface of the displacement sensor to the large vibration isolation device, and lock it in place, ensuring the height of the displacement sensor is 200mm ± 0.2mm.

[0012] 7) Connect and lock the inflation control components, controller unit and large vibration isolation device. The installed air source components must not be tilted.

[0013] 8) Fix the pipe support mounting plate of the inflation pipeline and accessories to the large vibration isolation device according to the drilled holes, and fix the inflation pipeline and accessories to the pipe support in sequence, connect the filter, valve, nitrogen cylinder, and finally connect to the air system on the ship to form a closed-loop inflation pipeline system.

[0014] 9) Fix the cable clamp mounting plate onto the large vibration isolation device, and fix cables of different diameters onto the corresponding cable clamps; connect the electrical connector plug at the front end of the cable to the corresponding component, and simultaneously connect the corresponding cable to the controller unit. The installed cables must be neatly arranged and free of looseness.

[0015] 10) Connect the power supply cable to the 24V DC power supply cable on the ship and the electrical connector marked "Power" on the controller unit.

[0016] 11) Connect the power supply and inflate the airbag shock absorber through the intelligent control device. After inflation, close the air valve and maintain the pressure for a certain period of time. When the pressure drop is not lower than the index requirement, it means that the air tightness check is qualified and the inflation pipeline system is installed.
