Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of offshore wind power, in particular to an automatic transportation and assembly method for grouting pipes on a ship. BACKGROUND
[0002] Grouting ships play a key supporting and guaranteeing role in various underwater and marine engineering, and provide an important technical means to ensure the long-term stability and safety of the engineering. These ships need to transport and install a large number of pipes regularly for the transportation of cement slurry and other fluids. The existing pipe transportation and assembly methods mostly rely on manual operation and heavy machinery.
[0003] Especially for large ships, a grouting pipe is usually hoisted by a hoist on the ship or an ultra-long pipe on the ship is extended to the seabed. This process not only requires very harsh conditions for the ship, and often requires large ships to complete the construction, but also occupies a large space whether it is a large hoist or an ultra-long grouting pipe.
[0004] For medium-sized ships, they are not usually considered to be manufactured as grouting ships for the following reasons: in order to reach the specified depth and considering the space of the ship, these pipes are usually composed of a section of pipe connected by threads or flanges. In order to install and disassemble the pipes, workers need to use hoisting equipment such as small hoists to transport the pipes and use tools to manually tighten the bolts between the pipes to achieve connection or disassembly. There are many problems in this process:
[0005] Manual operation is complex and laborious, workers operate in the sun or harsh environments, consume a lot of physical strength, are easy to fatigue, and affect work efficiency and safety. Manpower needs to constantly move the pipes to the installation position and then use tools for manual rotation and installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. During the pipe hoisting and rotation process, heavy pipes are prone to deviation or falling, which poses a serious safety hazard to on-site workers. Any mistake can cause material loss and personnel injury, increasing the difficulty and danger of construction. Low efficiency, the existing manual installation and disassembly method is slow, which cannot meet the efficient construction demand of a large number of pipes. The connection process of the pipes needs many steps, and each step of operation needs high coordination, which prolongs the construction time. High labor cost, since the operation is complex, each link needs to be operated by special personnel, which increases the labor cost. High cost and high labor intensity make the entire construction process more expensive and inefficient.
[0006] Based on the above problems, the applicant proposes an automatic transportation and assembly method for grouting pipes on a ship. SUMMARY

[0028] Step 3.7: The first clamping jaw mechanism drives the clamped pipeline to rotate, and the second clamping jaw mechanism drives the clamped pipeline to move upward, so that the upper and lower pipelines are screwed to complete butt joint;
[0029] Step 3.8: Repeat steps 3.4 to 3.7 to butt joint the remaining pipelines to the original pipeline one by one.

[0107] Fifth step: the first pipeline clamp jaw mechanism 402 releases the pipeline 2, and the front and rear moving assembly 406 drives the first pipeline clamp jaw mechanism 402 to move away from the pipeline 2, so that the pipeline 2 falls onto the front and rear conveying mechanism 408.

[0132] With reference to the above Figure 20In an embodiment of the present application, the pipe assembly docking device further comprises a positioning and clamping module 605, which is located on one side of the clamping jaw docking module, and the two constitute a right angle station. The positioning and clamping module 605 is opposite to the conveying direction of the pipe center clamping and conveying device 5. The positioning and clamping module 605 comprises a positioning support frame 6054 and a positioning seat 6050. The positioning support frame 6054 is installed on the carrying vehicle 300. The positioning seat 6050 is arranged on the positioning support frame 6054. A turntable mechanism 6056, a second pressure sensor 6052 and a pair of photoelectric sensors 6053 are arranged on the positioning seat 6050. A second pipe clamping jaw mechanism is arranged on the turntable mechanism 6056. The second pipe clamping jaw mechanism is used to clamp the end of the pipe 2. The installation position of the second pressure sensor 6052 corresponds to the pipe wall of the pipe 2. The second pressure sensor 6052 is used to touch the end of the pipe 2 to detect whether the pipe 2 is clamped in place. The pair of photoelectric sensors 6053 are used to cooperate with the pair of photoelectric sensor receivers 201 on the pipe 2 to detect whether the circumferential installation angle of the pipe 2 meets the requirements. The pair of photoelectric sensors 6053 are infrared photoelectric sensors. The pair of photoelectric sensor receivers 201 are infrared photoelectric sensor receivers.
[0133] The turntable mechanism 6056 comprises a turntable rotatingly installed on the positioning seat 6050 and a motor driving the turntable to rotate. The turntable mechanism 6056 is a known technology in the mechanical field, and will not be described in detail.
[0134] The second pipe clamping jaw mechanism comprises a second clamping jaw gear 6051, two second rack clamps 6055 and a second clamping jaw driving motor. The second clamping jaw gear 6051 is rotationally arranged on the positioning seat 6050. The two second rack clamps 6055 are slidingly arranged on the positioning seat 6050 and respectively engaged with the two sides of the second clamping jaw gear 6051. The second clamping jaw driving motor is arranged in the positioning seat 6050 and drives the second clamping jaw gear 6051 to rotate. When the second clamping jaw gear 6051 rotates, the two second rack clamps 6055 move in opposite directions, thereby clamping the pipe 2 from the outside.
[0135] The pair of photoelectric sensors 6053 are located directly above the clamping jaw part and downwardly emit light. The installation position of the second pressure sensor 6052 is staggered with the pair of photoelectric sensors 6053.
[0136] In another embodiment of the present application, the second rack clamp 6055 can also clamp the outer wall of the pipe 2 from the outside.
[0137] In another embodiment of the present application, the second jaw driving motor can be replaced by a hydraulic cylinder, which drives one of the second rack clamps 6055 to slide, and the other second rack clamp 6055 can be driven to slide through the second jaw gear 6051, so as to realize clamping of the pipe 2.
[0138] When the positioning and clamping module 605 works, the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 conveys the pipe 2 to the pipe assembly docking device. The pipe 2 first contacts the second pressure sensor 6052, indicating that the conveying depth of the pipe 2 has reached the position. Then the second pipe jaw mechanism clamps the end of the pipe 2 by inner support. Since the pipe 2 may rotate during conveying, the two pipe racks 200 are not completely located at the top and bottom of the pipe 2. Therefore, the installation angle of the pipe 2 needs to be detected by the reflection sensor emitter 6053. The detection method is as follows:
[0139] The reflection sensor emitter 6053 on the positioning and clamping module 605 corresponds to the reflection sensor receiver 201 on the pipe 2. If the reflection sensor emitter 6053 can detect the reflection sensor receiver 201 at the beginning, it means that the installation angle of the pipe 2 is just right, and the pipe 2 does not need to be rotated by the positioning and clamping module 605. If the reflection sensor emitter 6053 cannot detect the reflection sensor receiver 201 at the beginning, the second pipe jaw mechanism slowly rotates the pipe 2 until the reflection sensor emitter 6053 detects the reflection sensor receiver 201. Then the second pipe jaw mechanism stops, and the pipe 2 stops rotating. At this time, the installation angle of the pipe 2 meets the requirements.
[0140] The working process of the pipe assembly docking device is as follows:
[0141] Step 1: The pipe assembly docking device is in the Figure 12The state shown, i.e. the jaw mounting frame 603 and the jaw assembly of the second jaw mechanism 601 are all turned to the vertical state, the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 conveys the pipe 2 to the pipe assembly docking device, the pipe 2 advances towards the positioning and clamping module 605 through the jaw assembly, the end of the pipe 2 first hits the second pressure sensor 6052, and then the second pipe jaw mechanism clamps the pipe 2, the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 releases the pipe 2, at this time the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 only supports the pipe 2, whether the installation angle of the pipe 2 is in place is detected by the through-beam sensor transmitter 6053, if it is in place, the second pipe jaw mechanism releases the pipe 2, the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 clamps the pipe 2 and conveys the pipe 2 a small distance backward, so that the pipe 2 is out of the control range of the second pipe jaw mechanism; if it is not in place, the second pipe jaw mechanism slowly rotates the pipe 2 until the through-beam sensor transmitter 6053 detects the through-beam sensor receiver 201, at this time the installation angle of the pipe 2 is exactly as required, then the second pipe jaw mechanism releases the pipe 2, the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 clamps the pipe 2 and conveys the pipe 2 a small distance backward, so that the pipe 2 is out of the control range of the second pipe jaw mechanism.
[0142] Second step: the second jaw mechanism 601 clamps the pipe 2, the second positioning rack 6015 of the second jaw mechanism 601 is exactly engaged with the pipe rack 201 on the pipe 2, the second jaw mechanism 601 drives the pipe to turn 90°, so that the pipe 2 is in the vertical state, when turning, the front part of the pipe 2 rotates downward, and the rear part rotates upward, so that the pipe centering and clamping conveying device 5 does not interfere with the rotation of the pipe 2.
[0143] Third step: the second jaw mechanism 601 drives the pipe 2 to move downward, and then the third jaw mechanism 602 clamps the pipe 2, the second jaw mechanism 601 releases the pipe 2, the second gears 6021 on both sides of the third jaw mechanism 602 are engaged with the pipe racks 201 on both sides of the pipe 2, the second gears 6021 rotate if necessary, drive the pipe 2 to move downward by a distance, thereby giving space for the next pipe 2.
[0144] Fourth step: the second jaw mechanism 601 returns to the initial position and turns to the vertical state, and the second jaw mechanism 601 clamps the second pipe 2 by repeating step one.
[0145] Fifth step: the second jaw mechanism 601 drives the second pipe 2 to turn 90° to become the vertical state, and then drives the second pipe 2 to move upward, and then the first jaw mechanism 600 clamps the pipe 2, the second jaw mechanism 601 releases the pipe 2, the first positioning rack 6004 on both sides of the first jaw mechanism 600 is engaged with the pipe racks 201 on both sides of the pipe 2.
[0146] Step 6: The second gear motor 6022 in the third clamping jaw mechanism 602 drives the second gear 6021 to rotate, and the second gear 6021 drives the first pipe 2 to move upward through the cooperation of the pipe rack 201. At the same time, the first gear motor 6003 in the first clamping jaw mechanism 600 drives the half gear 6001 to rotate, and the half gear 6001 drives the second pipe 2 to rotate. The external threads at the lower end of the second pipe 2 are connected with the internal threads at the upper end of the first pipe 2, and the two pipes are connected through the driving of the first clamping jaw mechanism 600 and the third clamping jaw mechanism 602, thereby forming a multi-section pipe.
[0147] Step 7: After the first pipe 2 and the second pipe 2 are connected, the second clamping jaw mechanism 601 clamps the multi-section pipe, the first clamping jaw mechanism 600 and the third clamping jaw mechanism 602 release the multi-section pipe, and then the second clamping jaw mechanism 601 drives the multi-section pipe to move downward by a distance, and then the third clamping jaw mechanism 602 clamps the multi-section pipe, thereby leaving space for the next pipe 2. Then the second clamping jaw mechanism 601 returns to the initial position and rotates to the vertical state.
[0148] Step 8: Repeat the above steps to connect the pipes 2 one by one.
[0149] It should be noted that each pipe 2 is placed on the pipe clamping lifting and transporting device with the head and tail in the same direction, so that the internal threads of the previous pipe 2 and the external threads of the next pipe 2 are connected. The first clamping jaw mechanism 600, the second clamping jaw mechanism 601 and the third clamping jaw mechanism 602 are coaxially arranged to ensure the correct connection of the upper and lower pipes 2.
[0150] Please refer to Figures 1-21 An automatic transporting and assembling method of ship grouting pipes is realized by the automatic transporting and assembling system of ship grouting pipes as described above, which comprises the following steps:
[0151] Step 1: The pipe 2 is clamped by the pipe clamping lifting and transporting device 4, and then the pipe 2 is moved to the pipe centering and clamping transporting device 5. Specifically, it comprises the following steps:

[0153] Step 1.2: The corresponding first pipe clamping jaw mechanism 402 is driven by the front and rear translation mechanism 403 to move towards the pipe 2. During this process, the front and rear moving assembly 406 drives the lifting assembly 404 to move synchronously with the corresponding first pipe clamping jaw mechanism 402. After the first pipe clamping jaw mechanism 402 moves to the position, the first pipe clamping jaw mechanism 402 stops moving and clamps the end of the pipe 2;
[0154] Step 1.3, the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 is separated from the corresponding front and rear translation mechanism 403;
[0155] Step 1.4, the lifting assembly 404 drives the corresponding first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 to rise, and the left and right translation mechanism 405 drives the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 to move left and right through the lifting translation mechanism, and moves the pipe 2 to the front and rear conveying mechanism 408 through the lifting and horizontal movement;
[0156] Step 1.5, the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 releases the pipe 2, and the front and rear moving assembly 406 drives the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 to move away from the pipe 2, so that the pipe 2 falls onto the front and rear conveying mechanism 408, and the pipe 2 is conveyed to the pipe centering clamping conveying device 5 by the front and rear conveying mechanism 408.
[0157] Wherein, the front and rear translation mechanism 403 is connected with the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402 through the energized second electromagnet 409, and when the second electromagnet 409 is de-energized, the front and rear translation mechanism 403 is separated from the first pipe clamp jaw mechanism 402.
[0158] Step 2, the pipe 2 is clamped and conveyed by the pipe centering clamping conveying device 5, so that the pipe 2 is centered and conveyed to the pipe assembly docking device 6. Specifically, it includes:
[0159] After the pipe 2 falls onto the pipe centering clamping conveying device 5 in a horizontal state with the axis in the front and rear direction, the left and right side overturning drivers 505 drive the same side belt conveyors 504 to overturn to a vertical state and tightly contact the side of the pipe 2, the pipe 2 is clamped by the two side belt conveyors 504 to center and position the pipe 2, and at the same time, the belt conveyor 504 works, the belt of which drives the pipe 2 to move forward to the pipe assembly docking device 6.
[0160] Step 3, the pipe 2 is assembled and docked by the pipe assembly docking device 6. Specifically, it includes:
[0161] Step 3.1, the pipe 2 is clamped by the positioning and clamping module 605 and the installation angle of the pipe 2 is detected to see if it meets the requirements, if not, the installation angle of the pipe 2 is adjusted to the right position by the positioning and clamping module 605.
[0162] Step 3.2, after determining that the installation angle of the pipe 2 meets the requirements, the pipe 2 is clamped by the second clamp jaw mechanism 601, the pipe 2 is overturned to a vertical state by the second clamp jaw mechanism 601, and then the pipe 2 is driven to move downward to the third clamp jaw mechanism 602.
[0163] Step 3.3, the pipe 2 is clamped by the third clamp jaw mechanism 602, and the second clamp jaw mechanism 601 releases the pipe 2 and returns to the initial position.
[0164] Step 3.4, the next pipe 2 is clamped by the positioning and clamping module 605, and whether the installation angle of the pipe 2 meets the requirements is detected, and if not, the installation angle of the next pipe 2 is adjusted to the right position by the positioning and clamping module 605.
[0165] Step 3.5, after determining that the installation angle of the pipe 2 meets the requirements, the next pipe 2 is clamped by the second jaw mechanism 601, the second jaw mechanism 601 flips the next pipe 2 to a vertical state, and then drives the next pipe 2 to move upwards to the first jaw mechanism 600.
