Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of structural design of shipborne electronic information systems. Background Technology

[0002] Threaded connections are widely used in mechanical devices due to their advantages such as low cost, easy assembly and disassembly, and high connecting force. Thread strength verification typically follows methods recommended in mechanical design manuals, calculating the critical section of the thread for axial, tangential, bending, and impact loads. This process is time-consuming and prone to overlooking certain loads. Threads designed to withstand complex marine conditions do not bear loads from a single source but often experience multiple superimposed loads, including wind loads, inertial loads, gravity loads, cyclic stresses, and impact loads. Ignoring the thread's loading state under multiple loads often leads to a mismatch between thread specifications and actual requirements. This can result in either over-designed reliability or undersized threads, leading to loosening, breakage, and economic losses during use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issue of matching thread specifications with the requirements of marine operating environments, prevent over-design leading to increased equipment weight, and avoid equipment damage accidents caused by neglecting certain loads, this invention proposes a connection thread design method that can withstand complex sea conditions and impact stresses.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of the present invention includes:

[0005] 1. Establish a model of the mechanical device, determine the thread distribution, and specify the number of ordinary threads and reamed hole threads;

[0006] 2. Determine the axial and tangential loads that the device will bear;

[0007] 3. Determine the allowable yield strength of the material based on its characteristics;

[0008] 4. Calculate the shear contribution coefficient of ordinary thread;

[0009] 5. Calculate the critical section of the thread;

[0010] 6. Select the thread size.

[0011] Furthermore, the shear contribution coefficient λ of the ordinary thread includes:

[0012]

[0013] Where C1 = 1.656S1, C2 = 1.656S2, and Z1 and Z2 are the number of ordinary threads and reamed hole threads; F R FQ S1 and S2 are the tangential and axial loads borne by the connecting threads; S1 and S2 are the safety factors for tensile stress and shear stress, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the formula for determining the critical section of the thread includes:

[0015]

[0016] Among them, K f σ is the reliability coefficient of the friction coefficient, where μ is the friction coefficient; s It is the yield strength of the material.

[0017] Based on the calculated critical section d of the thread, select a suitable thread size from the preferred thread series.

[0018] This invention organically combines the three isolated shear strength verification calculations, tensile strength verification calculations, and compressive strength verification calculations in the thread strength verification of mechanical design manuals through a coupling formula. It can quickly and effectively solve the matching problem between thread specifications and the environmental requirements of marine equipment, avoiding both the increase in equipment weight due to over-design and the equipment damage accident caused by ignoring certain loads.

[0025] Figure 2 The diagram shows the design drawings of a preferred embodiment of the antenna of this invention. The antenna is flange-mounted onto a frame and rotates in azimuth along with the frame. This antenna is an open-air marine device; while rotating in azimuth, it must withstand wind loads and participate in the swaying and heaving motions along with the vessel.

[0026] To obtain a thread specification that matches the requirements of the shipboard operating environment, the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: The mounting flange of the antenna in this example is designed with 22 ordinary threaded through holes (Z1=22) and 4 reamed threaded through holes (Z2=4).

[0028] Step 2: Convert the cyclic stresses and impact loads borne by the antenna, such as wind load, inertial load, rotational load, and gravity load, into forces in two directions: axial force F along the thread axis. Q =341901N, tangential force F along the radial direction of the thread R =275276N.

[0029] Step 3: Determine the shear contribution coefficient of ordinary thread as follows: According to the formula C1 = 1.656S1 and C2 = 1.274S2 are determined. Where S1 and S2 are the safety factors for tensile stress and shear stress, respectively. Preferably, S1 = 1.2 to 1.5, and in this example, 1.5 is taken, and S2 = 2.5.

[0030] Step 4: According to the formula Determine the critical section of the thread. Wherein, K... f =1.2; μ=0.1; σ s =865MPa.
