[0038] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0040] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0041] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a hull panel assembly fixture for assembling longitudinal panels 20 and transverse panels 10. The hull panel assembly fixture includes a support rod 100, a turnbuckle 200, a clamp assembly 300, and an adjusting screw 400. One end of the turnbuckle 200 is connected to the top end of the support rod 100, and the other end is connected to the clamp assembly 300. The bottom end of the support rod 100 is fixed to the deck 30. The clamp assembly 300 is configured to clamp the transverse panel 10. The support rod 100 has a mounting hole 110, and the adjusting screw 400 passes through the mounting hole 110. The support rod 100 is attached to the outer side of the longitudinal panel 20 so that the support rod 100 and the turnbuckle 200 are perpendicular to each other. The adjusting screw 400 is configured to apply pressure to the longitudinal panel 20 to make the longitudinal panel 20 fit against the transverse panel 10.

[0043] Based on the above design, in this embodiment, the construction personnel can determine the installation position of the hull panel assembly tooling according to the actual situation, and then clamp the clamp assembly 300 on the upper edge of the transverse wall panel 10, and set the support rod 100 vertically so that the support rod 100 is attached to the outer side of the longitudinal wall panel 20 so that the support rod 100 and the turnbuckle 200 are perpendicular to each other. The bottom end of the support rod 100 is welded to the deck 30 by spot welding. Then, the construction personnel can turn the adjusting screw 400 so that the adjusting screw 400 can abut against the longitudinal wall panel 20 and apply a certain pressure to the longitudinal wall panel 20. That is, the longitudinal wall panel 20 is pushed towards the transverse wall panel 10 by the adjusting screw 400, and the transverse wall panel 10 moves towards the longitudinal wall panel 20 under the pull of the turnbuckle 200 and the clamp assembly 300. In other words, the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 move towards each other at the same time, so that the two can fit together tightly. Typically, during construction, the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 are perpendicular to each other, and both the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 are perpendicular to the deck 30.

[0044] It should be noted that the turnbuckle 200 in this embodiment is a standard part. Construction personnel can adjust the distance between the support rod 100 and the clamp assembly 300 by adjusting the turnbuckle 200, thereby making the upper edge of the transverse wall panel 10 and the upper edge of the longitudinal wall panel 20 fit together, improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment improves the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 by using the support rod 100, turnbuckle 200, chuck assembly 300 and adjusting screw 400. It also has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It avoids the process of welding and grinding the corners after the assembly using the corner positioning method in the traditional technology, which saves time and effort, reduces the risk of deformation or damage to the profiles of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, saves costs and extends service life.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple mounting holes 110 are provided, and the multiple mounting holes 110 are equally spaced; multiple adjusting screws 400 are provided, and each adjusting screw 400 corresponds to a mounting hole 110. Furthermore, the spacing between two adjacent mounting holes 110 is set to between 150mm and 200mm. For example, the spacing between two adjacent mounting holes 110 can be set to values ​​such as 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, 180mm, 190mm, and 200mm, thereby reducing the risk of stress concentration in the longitudinal wall panel 20 and improving the uniformity of force distribution on the longitudinal wall panel 20.

[0047] like Figures 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a cross-shaped lug plate 120 is provided at the top of the support rod 100, and one end of the turnbuckle 200 is connected to the cross-shaped lug plate 120. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cross-shaped lug plate 120 is welded to the top of the support rod 100, thereby improving the connection strength and stability. Of course, in some optional embodiments, the cross-shaped lug plate 120 and the top of the support rod 100 can be integrally formed.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cross lug plate 120 is provided with a through hole 1201, and the hull panel assembly fixture also includes a first pin 500, which is inserted into the through hole 1201. Specifically, the cross lug plate 120 has two connecting parts, and two through holes 1201 are respectively provided on the two connecting parts. One end of the turnbuckle 200 passes between the two connecting parts, and the first pin 500 is inserted into the two through holes 1201, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the turnbuckle 200 and the cross lug plate 120, and avoiding the risk of the turnbuckle 200 and the cross lug plate 120 breaking apart during the tightening of the adjusting screw 400.

[0049] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamp assembly 300 includes a first clamp 310 and a second clamp 320. The first clamp 310 and the second clamp 320 are connected and face each other, located on opposite sides of the transverse wall panel 10. Both the first clamp 310 and the second clamp 320 are connected to the other end of the turnbuckle 200, and can clamp the transverse wall panel 10. The arrangement of the first clamp 310 and the second clamp 320 improves the stability and reliability of clamping the transverse wall panel 10, and the force is more evenly distributed.

[0050] Furthermore, the collet assembly 300 in this embodiment also includes a second pin 600, which is inserted into the first collet 310 and the second collet 320. The other end of the turnbuckle 200 passes between the first collet 310 and the second collet 320. The second pin 600 improves the reliability and stability of the connection between the turnbuckle 200 and the collet assembly 300, avoids the risk of the turnbuckle 200 disconnecting from the collet assembly 300 during the tightening of the adjusting screw 400, and extends the service life.

[0051] For example, the second pin 600 in this embodiment can be configured as a collet pin.

[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment, the support rod 100, turnbuckle 200, and chuck assembly 300 are all stainless steel parts, that is, made of stainless steel to improve strength and extend service life.

[0053] This embodiment also provides a method for assembling hull panels. This method is applied to the above-mentioned hull panel assembly fixtures and includes the following steps:

[0054] Based on the actual site conditions, the construction personnel determined the installation location of the hull panel assembly tooling.

[0055] Connect one end of the turnbuckle 200 to the cross lug 120 at the top of the support rod 100, and the other end to the chuck assembly 300; insert the first pin 500 and the second pin 600 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0056] The clamp assembly 300 clamps the upper edge of the transverse wall panel 10;

[0057] The support rod 100 is placed upright on the outer side of the longitudinal wall panel 20, and the bottom end of the support rod 100 is fixed to the deck 30 by spot welding. The transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 are perpendicular to each other, and both the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 are perpendicular to the deck 30.

[0058] Tighten the adjusting screw 400 to reduce the gap between the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, so that the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 fit together. Optionally, the construction personnel can tighten the adjusting screw 400 sequentially from bottom to top, so that the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 fit together from bottom to top. This can release the stress on the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, thereby reducing the risk of assembly deformation.

[0059] Adjust the turnbuckle 200 to make the upper edge of the transverse wall panel 10 and the upper edge of the longitudinal wall panel 20 fit together, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0060] Spot welding is performed on the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 to improve the stability and reliability of the assembly of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20.

[0061] Finally, the construction workers removed the support rod 100, turnbuckle 200, and clamp assembly 300, thus completing the assembly of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20.

[0062] The method for assembling the ship's hull panels is simple, easy to operate, time-saving, and labor-saving, which can improve construction efficiency and assembly accuracy, thereby achieving the goal of cost saving.
