Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shipbuilding, and in particular to a code-free assembly tool. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of shipbuilding, the transverse and longitudinal wallboard structures of the ship body are dense, the assembly workload is large, and the assembly accuracy is high. In order to improve the installation accuracy of the wallboard, the transverse and longitudinal wallboards are accurately aligned and installed by burning code and beating iron tip, that is, the transverse and longitudinal wallboards are positioned and assembled by using multiple code feet in cooperation with iron tip pressing and pasting. The problem of this code foot assembly method is that a large number of code feet are generated during assembly, which increases the post-processing process of post-welding and grinding code feet, and reduces the assembly efficiency of the transverse and longitudinal wallboards. Moreover, for thinner transverse and longitudinal wallboards, the parent material is easily damaged during code burning, and even the transverse and longitudinal wallboards are deformed, which affects the mechanical properties of the parent material.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] In shipbuilding, to improve the installation accuracy of bulkhead panels, a method of accurately aligning and installing transverse and longitudinal bulkhead panels is commonly used. This involves employing multiple brackets with iron tips for positioning and assembly. The problems with this bracket assembly method are: it generates a large number of brackets during assembly, increasing the post-processing steps of welding and grinding the brackets, and reducing the assembly efficiency of transverse and longitudinal bulkhead panels. Furthermore, for thinner transverse and longitudinal bulkhead panels, the bracketing process can easily damage the base material, even causing deformation and affecting the mechanical properties of the base material.
[0031] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment proposes a codeless assembly fixture, which includes a basket assembly clamp assembly 3. The basket assembly includes a basket screw 1 and an operating rod 2. The basket screw 1 includes a basket frame 11 and two screws 12. The left and right sides of the basket frame 11 are threaded with screws 12. The upper frame 111 and the lower frame 112 of the basket frame 11 are both equipped with operating rods 2. The end of the screw 12 extending out of the basket frame 11 is detachably connected to the clamp assembly 3. The two clamp assemblies 3 can respectively clamp the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 to be assembled. When using a non-clamp assembly fixture to assemble the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, two clamping assemblies 3 are respectively clamped onto the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 to be assembled. Holding the two operating levers 2 and turning the turnbuckle frame 11 brings the two screws 12 closer together, generating tension on the transverse wall panel 10. This pulls the transverse wall panel 10 to the installation line of the longitudinal wall panel 20, achieving the positioning and assembly of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, improving the assembly efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, there is no need for welding or grinding the clamping feet, preventing deformation or damage to the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, thus improving the assembly quality.
[0032] In this embodiment, the longitudinal wall panel 20 is welded to the deck to keep it fixed. The longitudinal wall panel 20 has virtual mounting lines, and the transverse wall panel 10 is welded to the longitudinal wall panel 20 along these mounting lines to complete the assembly of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20. Figure 1 As shown, the two clamping assemblies 3 of the codeless assembly fixture are respectively clamped on the upper edges of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20. Alternatively, two clamping assemblies 3 of another codeless assembly fixture can be clamped in the middle of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20 to prevent the transverse wall panel 10 from tilting or shifting position. It is understood that the number and installation position of the codeless assembly fixtures can be flexibly adjusted according to assembly requirements during the assembly of the transverse wall panel 10 and the longitudinal wall panel 20, and no specific limitations are made here.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the upper frame 111 and the lower frame 112 have through holes 110 that can be threadedly connected to the operating rods 2. This arrangement enables the two operating rods 2 to be threadedly connected to the basket frame 11, which not only improves the connection strength between the operating rods 2 and the basket frame 11, but also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the operating rods 2, thus improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.
[0034] Furthermore, both the upper frame 111 and the lower frame 112 are provided with multiple through holes 110 spaced apart in the left-right direction. One operating rod 2 is selectively threaded to one of the through holes 110 in the upper frame 111, and the other operating rod 2 is selectively threaded to one of the through holes 110 in the lower frame 112. By providing multiple through holes 110, the installation positions of the two operating rods 2 in the corresponding upper frame 111 or lower frame 112 are adjustable, improving the installation flexibility of the operating rods 2. In this embodiment, the two operating rods 2 can be installed facing each other or staggered, realizing flexible screwing of the operating rods 2. Moreover, the two operating rods 2 can be installed in different through holes 110 according to the actual working conditions. By changing the installation position of the operating rods 2, collisions and interference with surrounding objects during screwing are avoided, improving the versatility of the codeless assembly fixture.
[0035] Specifically, the operating lever 2 includes a connecting rod 21 and a gripping rod 22. One end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the corresponding upper frame 111 or lower frame 112, and the other end of the connecting rod 21 is connected to the gripping rod 22. In this embodiment, the operating lever 2 is a metal rod, such as a stainless steel rod. The connecting rod 21 is threadedly connected to a through hole 110 in the corresponding upper frame 111 or lower frame 112, and the other end of the connecting rod 21 is welded to or threaded to the gripping rod 22 to improve the structural strength of the operating lever 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 21 and the gripping rod 22 are connected in a T-shape to facilitate the assembly personnel to grip the gripping rod 22 and quickly twist the basket frame 11. In other embodiments, the operating rod 2 can also be L-shaped, cross-shaped, or other shapes, as long as it is easy for the assembly personnel to grip, and will not be listed here.
[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamp assembly 3 includes a fixed clamp 31, a movable clamp 32, and a locking member 33. The fixed clamp 31 is detachably connected to one end of the screw 12 extending from the basket frame 11. The movable clamp 32 is movably mounted on the fixed clamp 31 to adjust the clamping distance between the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32. Both the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32 are movably mounted with locking members 33, which can lock the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32 to both sides in the thickness direction of the transverse wall panel 10 or the longitudinal wall panel 20, respectively. By setting the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32, the clamp assembly 3 has a split structure, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the clamp assembly 3. Simultaneously, the installation position of the movable clamp 32 on the fixed clamp 31 can be flexibly adjusted to adjust the clamping distance between the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32, allowing the clamp assembly 3 to be clamped onto wall panels of different thicknesses, thus improving the versatility of the clamp assembly 3.
[0038] It should be noted that the fixed chuck 31 has two lugs 34, and the end of the screw 12 extending out of the basket frame 11 is detachably mounted between the two lugs 34 via the chuck pin 4. Both the end of the screw 12 extending out of the basket frame 11 and the two lugs 34 have mounting holes. When the end of the screw 12 extending out of the basket frame 11 is located between the two lugs 34, the three mounting holes are coaxially aligned. The chuck pin 4 passes through the three coaxial mounting holes in sequence to assemble the screw 12 with the corresponding chuck assembly 3.
[0039] Specifically, both the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32 are provided with locking holes. The locking member 33 is movably inserted into the corresponding locking hole and has a locked position and an unlocked position. When the locking member 33 is in the locked position, it can press against one side of the thickness direction of the transverse wall plate 10 or the longitudinal wall plate 20 to lock the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32 to the transverse wall plate 10 or the longitudinal wall plate 20. When the locking member 33 is in the unlocked position, it can disengage from the corresponding transverse wall plate 10 or the longitudinal wall plate 20 to unlock the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking element 33 is a bolt, and the locking element 33 is threadedly connected to the corresponding locking hole. By tightening the two locking elements 33 of the same chuck assembly 3, the two locking elements 33 respectively abut against the two sides of the transverse wall plate 10 or the longitudinal wall plate 20, realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the chuck assembly 3. In other embodiments, the locking element 33 can also be a pin, and the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32 are locked to the transverse wall plate 10 or the longitudinal wall plate 20 by interference fit between the pin and the locking hole.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the chuck assembly 3 also includes an adjusting rod (not shown in the figure). The fixed chuck 31 includes a first horizontal portion 311 and a first vertical portion 312 connected at right angles. A limiting groove is formed at the end of the first horizontal portion 311 away from the first vertical portion 312. The first horizontal portion 311 also has an adjusting hole 3111 communicating with the limiting groove. The movable chuck 32 includes a second horizontal portion 321 and a second vertical portion 322 connected at right angles. A locking member 33 is movably mounted on the first vertical portion 312 and the second vertical portion 322. The end of the second horizontal portion 321 away from the second vertical portion 322 is movably inserted into the limiting groove. The adjusting rod is movably inserted into the adjusting hole 3111 and can press against or release the second horizontal portion 321.
[0042] In this embodiment, both the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32 are L-shaped clamps, forming a U-shaped clamp after assembly. When the clamp assembly 3 is installed on the upper edge of the transverse wall panel 10 or the longitudinal wall panel 20, the first vertical part 312 and the second vertical part 322 are located on both sides of the thickness direction of the transverse wall panel 10 or the longitudinal wall panel 20, respectively. By screwing the locking members 33 in the locking holes of the first vertical part 312 and the second vertical part 322, the two locking members 33 are respectively pressed against the two sides of the transverse wall panel 10 or the longitudinal wall panel 20 to complete the clamping operation of the clamp assembly 3.
[0043] When the wall thickness of the transverse wall panel 10 or the longitudinal wall panel 20 changes, the displacement of the second horizontal part 321 extending out of or into the limiting groove is adjusted according to the wall thickness to adapt the clamping distance to different wall thicknesses. After the movable clamp 32 is adjusted to the correct position, the adjusting rod is installed in the adjusting hole 3111 and pressed against the second horizontal part 321 to lock the fixed clamp 31 and the movable clamp 32.
[0044] Specifically, the adjusting rod is a bolt, and the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the adjusting hole 3111. By tightening the adjusting rod of the same chuck assembly 3, the adjusting rod abuts against the second horizontal part 321 extending into the limiting groove, realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32. In other embodiments, the adjusting rod can also be a pin, and the fixed chuck 31 and the movable chuck 32 are securely assembled by the interference fit between the pin and the adjusting hole 3111.
[0045] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
