[0047] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] A semicircular track type segment turning device is a device used to turn over segments during the construction of ships and marine structures; it includes a structural frame 1, a segment platform 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a rotating mechanism 4. The segment platform 2 is equipped with a segment 5 that needs to be turned over. The lifting mechanism 3 vertically raises the segment carried on the segment platform 2 along the structural frame 1 to the turning operation height. The rotating mechanism 4 rotates the segment platform 2 180 degrees along the semicircular gear track to complete the turning operation. The lifting mechanism 3 lowers the segment platform 2 to the transportation height to complete the turning operation.

[0049] The structural frame 1 is fixed to the ground, and the segmented platform 2 is connected to the structural frame 1 through a lifting mechanism 3 and a rotating mechanism 4. The lifting mechanism 3 can drive the segmented platform 2 to rise or fall vertically, and the rotating mechanism 4 can drive the segmented platform 2 to rotate 180 degrees around the semicircular gear track.

[0050] Two square holes 2a are provided in the middle of the segmented platform 2, which can be used for the SPMT trolley to pass vertically during the turning operation.

[0051] A rotation axis is provided in the middle of the segmented platform 2 so that the segmented platform 2 can rotate 180 degrees around the rotation axis.

[0052] The segmented platform 2 is provided with two rows of double-layer lifting lugs 2b, which are fixedly connected to the segmented lifting lugs 5a via latches 2c.

[0053] The lifting mechanism 3 is driven up and down along its vertical track by a power unit. The power unit can be driven by a hydraulic motor and gears, or by an electric winch and pulley system. When the power unit is driven by a hydraulic motor and gears, the vertical track is a rack-and-pinion structure. When the power unit is driven by an electric winch and pulley system, the vertical track is a linear slide.

[0054] The rotating mechanism 4 consists of a motor fixed to the segmented platform 2, a rotating pinion 4a driven by the motor, and a circular rack 4c fixed to the semicircular top frame 1e. The motor can be a hydraulic motor or a stepper motor, driving the pinion along the circular rack track, driving the segmented platform 2 to complete a 180-degree rotation.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] Figures 1 to 7A semicircular track type segmented turning device is shown, which includes a structural frame 1, a segmented platform 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a rotating mechanism 4.

[0057] Figure 1 In the structure frame 1, multiple connecting beams 1a are used to connect the arch frames 1b at both ends. The arch frame 1b includes two side columns 1d and a semicircular top frame 1e to form an arch shape, and a central column 1c is set in the middle of the arch frame 1b.

[0058] Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the figure, the power unit of the lifting mechanism 3 is driven by a hydraulic motor and gears, and the vertical track is a rack-and-pinion structure. The power unit is a lifting motor 3c, which drives the driving gear 3a via a rotating central shaft 3d. A hydraulic cylinder 3e is connected to a driven gear 3g via a telescopic shaft 3f. The vertical track is a vertical rack track 3b. The vertical rack track 3b is located inside the center column 1c. The driving gear 3a and the driven gear 3g mesh with the vertical rack track 3b to drive the segmented platform 2 up and down.

[0059] The lifting motor 3c and the hydraulic cylinder 3e are arranged on the segmented platform 2, and two square holes 2a are provided on the segmented platform 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, a quick-plug mechanism is provided between the segmented platform 2 and the segmented 5. That is, the double-layer lifting lugs 2b on the segmented platform 2 are connected to the segmented lifting lugs 5a provided on the segmented 5 via latches 2c. Two rows of double-layer lifting lugs 2b are provided on the segmented platform 2, one on each side of the platform with the lifting mechanism 3.

[0060] Figure 7 In the figure, the rotating mechanism 4 uses a motor fixed to the segmented platform 2 to drive a rotating gear 4a. This gear 4a meshes with a circular rack mounted on the inside of the semicircular top frame 1e, rotating the segmented platform 2 about a central axis 3d. One end of the central axis 3d is connected to the lifting motor 3c, and the other end is engaged with the central column 1c via a driving gear 3a.

[0061] As shown in FIG8 , when the above technical solution is used, the following steps are included:

[0062] (1) Move the segment to the front of the turning device via the SPMT trolley, and place the segment platform 2 upside down and horizontally ( Figure 8a );

[0063] (2) Lay the SPMT trolley running road pads and drive the SPMT trolley to the position directly under the turning device ( Figure 8b ), the segmented platform 2 is lowered, and the segment 5 is fixed to the segmented platform 2 through a quick plug-in mechanism; that is, the double-layer lifting ear 2b is connected to the segmented lifting ear 5a by the pin 2c.

[0064] (3) The hydraulic cylinder 3e extends the telescopic shaft 3f and locks the rotation of the segmented platform. The lifting motor 3c in the lifting mechanism 3 drives the driving gear 3a through the rotating shaft 3d. One side of the driving gear 3a engages with the vertical rack track 3b, and the other side drives the driven gear 3g to engage with the vertical rack track 3b on the other side. The driving gear 3a and the driven gear 3g engage with the vertical rack track 3b, moving the segmented platform 2 to the target position ( Figure 8c ); during this process, the rotating gear 4a engages with the linear rack 4b provided on the side column 1d, jointly driving the segmented platform 2 to move.

[0065] (4) The telescopic shaft 3f is retracted by the hydraulic cylinder 3e, and the segmented platform 2 is released from rotation. At this time, the driving gear 3a and the driven gear 3g are stuck in the middle of the vertical rack track 3b. One end of the rotating center axis 3d is connected to the driving gear 3a, and the other end is set on the lifting motor 3c. At this time, the segmented platform 2 can rotate with the rotating center axis 3d as the axis. The rotating motor further drives the rotating gear 4a to engage with the circular rack 4c, driving the segmented platform 2 to rotate 180 degrees around the rotating center axis 3d. Figure 8d To rotate 45 degrees, Figure 8e To rotate 90 degrees, Figure 8f for a 180-degree rotation);

[0066] (5) After the platform rotates, the hydraulic cylinder on the other side extends the telescopic shaft 3f and inserts it into the driven gear 3g, locking the segmented platform 2 in rotation. By utilizing the engagement of the driving gear 3a, the driven gear 3g and the vertical track rack track 3b in the lifting mechanism 3, the segmented platform 2 is moved downward, and the SPMT flatbed car passes through the segmented platform 2 through the square hole 2a of the segmented platform 2. The SPMT trolley is lifted and the weight of the segment 5 is transferred to the SPMT trolley. The fast plug-in mechanism is used to release the fixation between the segment and the segmented platform; that is, the pin 2c at the connection between the double-layer lifting ear 2b and the segmented lifting ear 5a is pulled out.

[0067] (6) Remove the SPMT trolley road pad, lower the segment platform 2 to the lowest point, drive the SPMT trolley out, and the segment turning operation is completed.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] Figures 1 to 7 A semicircular track type segmented turning device is shown, which includes a structural frame 1, a segmented platform 2, a lifting mechanism 3 and a rotating mechanism 4.

[0070] Figure 1 In the structure frame 1, multiple connecting beams 1a are used to connect the arch frames 1b at both ends. The arch frame 1b includes two side columns 1d and a semicircular top frame 1e to form an arch shape, and a central column 1c is set in the middle of the arch frame 1b.

[0071] Figure 6 In the example, when the power unit in the lifting mechanism 3 is driven by an electric winch and pulley assembly, the vertical track is a linear sliding track. The fixed pulley 3n and electric winch 3m in the lifting mechanism 3 are fixed to the sliding track 3o. The coordinated movement of the electric winch 3m, fixed pulley 3n, movable pulley 3i, and cable 3h enables vertical movement of the slider 3J. At this point, the segmented platform 2 is connected to the slider 3J via the slider's rotating shaft 3k, enabling vertical movement.

[0072] Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, a quick-plug mechanism is provided between the segmented platform 2 and the segmented 5. That is, the double-layer lifting lugs 2b on the segmented platform 2 are connected to the segmented lifting lugs 5a provided on the segmented 5 via latches 2c. Two rows of double-layer lifting lugs 2b are provided on the segmented platform 2, one on each side of the platform with the lifting mechanism 3.

[0073] Figure 7 In the figure, the rotating mechanism 4 uses a motor fixed to the segmented platform 2 to drive a rotating gear 4a. This gear 4a meshes with a circular rack mounted on the inside of the semicircular top frame 1e, rotating the segmented platform 2 about a central axis 3d. One end of the central axis 3d is connected to the lifting motor 3c, and the other end is engaged with the central column 1c via a driving gear 3a.

[0074] When the above technical solution is used, the following steps are included:

[0075] (1) Move the segment to the front of the turning device using the SPMT trolley, and place the segment platform 2 upside down and horizontally;

[0076] (2) Lay the SPMT trolley running road pads, drive the SPMT trolley to the position directly below the turning device, lower the segmented platform 2, and fix the segment 5 to the segmented platform 2 through the quick plug-in mechanism; that is, use the pin 2c to connect the double-layer lifting ear 2b to the segmented lifting ear 5a.

[0077] (3) In the lifting mechanism 3, the vertical movement of the slider 3J can be achieved through the coordinated movement of the electric winch 3m, the fixed pulley 3n, and the movable pulley 3I. After the electric winch 3m is started, the cable 3h is continuously shortened, driving the slider 3J below the movable pulley 3I to move vertically along the sliding track 3o. The segmented platform 2 is connected to the slider 3J through the slider rotation axis 3k, thereby performing vertical movement. During this process, the rotating gear 4a engages with the linear rack 4b provided on the side column 1d, and together drives the segmented platform 2 to move, moving the segmented platform 2 to the target position;

[0078] (4) The rotary motor drives the rotating gear 4a to engage with the circular rack 4c, driving the segmented platform 2 to rotate 180 degrees around the rotation center axis 3d;

[0079] (5) After the rotation is completed, the vertical movement of the slider 3J is achieved by the coordinated movement of the electric winch 3m, the fixed pulley 3n, and the movable pulley 3I in the lifting mechanism 3, which drives the segmented platform 2 to move downward. The SPMT flatbed car passes through the square hole 2a of the segmented platform 2 and passes through the segmented platform 2. The SPMT trolley is lifted up, and the weight of the segment 5 is transferred to the SPMT trolley. The fast plug-in mechanism is used to release the fixation between the segment and the segmented platform; that is, the pin 2c at the connection between the double-layer lifting ear 2b and the segmented lifting ear 5a is pulled out.

[0080] (6) Remove the SPMT trolley road pad, lower the segmented platform 2 to the lowest point, and drive the SPMT trolley out ( Figure 8g 、 Figure 8h ), the turning operation is completed in sections.
