DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will provide further explanation in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the method for simulating the tail shaft casting model and the fairing design model includes the following steps:

[0032] S1. Before positioning the energy-saving guide wheel, mark the positions of several first measuring points 3 on the surface of the tail shaft casting 1. The position marks of these first measuring points 3 cover the entire outer contour surface of the tail shaft casting 1, and the length of the position marks of two adjacent first measuring points 3 is 100 mm.

[0033] S2. Use the total station 16 to measure the marked points (first measuring points 3) on the outer contour of the tail shaft casting 1, import the measured data into the computer, read it using the CAD software, mark the position of the first measuring point 3 on the outer contour of the tail shaft casting 1 with three adjacent points connected to form a triangular plane, each triangle forms the smallest unit plane, and all the triangular planes are connected together to form an approximate irregular tail shaft casting surface contour, and render the tail shaft casting model in the CAD software to obtain the tail shaft casting model.

[0034] S3. Use the total station 16 to draw the intersection line of the longitudinal section of the hull and the outer surface of the guide wheel, the intersection line of the center waterline plane of the shaft system and the outer surface of the guide wheel, and the intersection line of the FRX cross section and the outer surface of the guide wheel on the outer surface of the guide wheel 4, so as to determine the main reference line points 22 that need to be measured when positioning the guide wheel 4, and obtain the theoretical value of each reference point through design.

[0035] S4. Use a total station to build a ground sample reference line with the energy-saving guide wheel, measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the main structural points at the end of the guide vane of the energy-saving guide wheel, and import the measured data into the computer; preferably, a cross line formed by the intersection of the hull centerline and the horizontal reference line is used as the ground sample reference line for construction process detection.

[0036] S5. Open the measured tail shaft casting model data in the precision software BLOCK (a precision analysis software that compares the hull model with the measured data, connects the management points on the model with the measured points of the sections, measures the coordinate deviations of the management points, and analyzes the deviations of the section completion data), and use the center of the tail shaft hole of the tail shaft casting as the reference point to adjust the tail casting model data status to be consistent with the design value.

[0037] S6. Read the fairing design model in the precision software BLOCK, establish management points on the energy-saving guide wheel design model, unify the coordinates of the management points and the reference points on the energy-saving guide wheel, and use the analysis function to match and connect the measured data of the tail shaft casting model with the energy-saving guide wheel design model, so that the guide wheel side reference point 13 (1 on each side) and the center reference point 14 on the guide wheel coincide with the theoretical point, and the maximum deviation is less than 2mm; and save it as an analysis file.

[0038] A positioning method for a marine energy-saving guide wheel without margin pre-assembly comprises the following steps:

[0039] S1. Pre-assemble the tail shaft casting 1 to the hull structure of the tail shaft section 2, and use the total station 16 to survey the tail shaft section projection center and the longitudinal section line and the waterline cross-type ground sample line (i.e., the tail shaft section horizontal reference line 10 and the tail shaft section longitudinal reference line 11) based on the fore and aft port centers of the tail shaft casting 1.

[0040] S2. Use the total station 16 to measure the equidistant points (first measuring points 3) marked on the tail shaft casting 1, use the total station 16 to perform three-dimensional coordinate measurement of the equidistant points on the contour of the tail shaft casting, import the measurement data into the computer, open it with CAD software, connect the measured points (equidistant points) with three adjacent points to form a triangle, use a single triangle as a unit section, connect all the unit sections together, use the polygon function of the software to model and render, and save the rendered model file as a DXF file in the CAD program.

[0041] S3. Read the tail shaft casting model file in the precision software BLOCK program. Move and rotate the 1-point axis in the BLOCK program to make the baseline of the tail shaft casting 1 consistent with the design value. Use the 1-point axis movement to make the center point of the end face of the tail shaft casting consistent with its design height and left and right direction. The tail end face of the tail shaft casting 1 is 10 mm as the machining allowance and saved as an analysis file.

[0042] S4. Use a total station to draw the intersection line of the longitudinal section of the hull and the outer surface of the guide wheel, the intersection line of the center waterline plane of the shaft system and the outer surface of the guide wheel, and the intersection line of the FRX cross section and the outer surface of the guide wheel on the outer surface of the guide wheel, so as to determine the reference points that need to be measured when positioning the guide wheel, and obtain the theoretical value of each reference point through design.

[0043] S5. Use a total station to establish a station based on the energy-saving guide wheel ground sample reference line. When establishing the station, the line connecting the first and second points is measured as the centerline of the hull, and the third point is the projection point of the centerline of the tail shaft hole. Then measure the guide wheel side reference point 13 and the guide wheel center reference point 14 drawn on the fairing. Then measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the intersection of the guide vane reinforcement at the end of the fairing and the guide vane outer plate (main structural point 8). Import the measured data into the computer and save it as a DXF file.

[0044] S5. Use the precision software BLOCK to open the saved DXF file of the guide wheel. In the BLOCK analysis function, move to point 1 and rotate the axis at point 1 to make the coordinates of the baseline on the guide wheel the same as the theoretical value, and save it as an analyzed file.

[0045] S6. Open the analysis file of casting 1 in the precision software ECO OTS, and then open the analysis file of the energy-saving guide wheel. In the program, connect the second measurement point of the guide wheel with the first measurement point on the tail shaft casting (i.e., the first measurement point 3 marked on the tail shaft casting). After connecting the first measurement point and the second measurement point, a model interference part and interference amount of the measurement points at different positions of the intersecting line will be generated. Through the software distance measurement, the distance between the measurement point and the point (interference point) can be calculated to calculate the point interference amount at different positions on this intersecting line. The interference amount length is the actual margin of the guide vane at this actual position.

[0046] S7. Based on the interference calculated by the onboard software, use a ruler to mark the actual interference of different structures on the guide vane as the allowance line. The allowance line forms an actual intersection curve. The construction personnel can make precise cuts based on this intersection curve and can pre-cut the allowance for the guide wheel.

[0047] S8. Transfer the cut energy-saving guide wheel to the tail shaft casting.

[0048] The method of the present invention can accurately draw the margin line of the docking port, realize pre-assembly without margin, and perform one-time hoisting and positioning, thereby improving positioning accuracy, increasing construction efficiency, and reducing construction difficulty.

[0049] The present invention innovatively realizes high-precision energy-saving guide wheel segmented positioning, tends to be more reasonable, makes research and measurement more convenient, saves crane resources and makes use of them more reasonably, reduces the scope and time of high-altitude operations, improves positioning accuracy, improves detection efficiency, and reduces shipbuilding costs. This process method was first promoted and applied on the T300K crude oil tanker, and has been promoted and applied on 30 ships so far. It has a mature operating process and is very time-effective, and has been recognized by various processes and shipowners for its technology.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
