Background Art

[0002] In existing technology, the shipbuilding process involves a significant amount of sheet or segment fabrication work, with efficiency being directly impacted by factors such as the method of operation and the degree of automation. While technological advancements have resulted in increasingly larger and thinner planar segments, and increasingly automated processing, these segments are still primarily transported using tools such as railcars, conveyor belts, and forklifts, with manual assistance for positioning after transport.

[0003] For the segmented conveying of long, large-format thin plates (specifically, lengths of 5,000-13,000 mm, widths of 1,500-2,450 mm, and thicknesses up to 20 mm), especially for conveying the sheets or segments to the welding equipment and welding gantry, the system coordination is crucial. After the flat segmented conveyor belt has been transported to the roughly designated locations, four or five workers are required to align and position the segments. This manual alignment method has a low level of automation and poses safety risks to workers. Consequently, the designated welding positions for thin flat segments of large ships cannot be achieved, leading to significant errors in subsequent welding.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can complete plane segmented conveying, positioning, and deviation correction. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Furthermore, the cylinder lifting unit includes a horizontally movable cylinder and a latch connected to the horizontally movable cylinder, and the horizontally movable cylinder is connected to the base through an L-shaped bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the spherical wheel bracket includes a jacking column and a spherical wheel supporting platform connected to the jacking column, and the jacking column is connected to the output end of the cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, adjacent conveying rack units are connected via transmission connection units.

[0016] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] The present invention provides a device for conveying and correcting the deviation of thin plate plane segments, see Figure 1 The difference between the present invention and the prior art lies in that: the conveying and correcting device includes a plurality of conveying frame units 1 connected into one body, the conveying frame units are used to place the thin plate plane segments, each conveying frame unit is provided with a plurality of correcting devices 2 for correcting the position and correcting the thin plate plane segments, and a travel drive unit is provided under the conveying frame unit; the correcting device includes a base 3, on which a ball wheel rotation unit and a cylinder lifting unit are provided for correcting the thin plate plane segments in the X direction and the Y direction respectively.

[0018] During implementation, thin plate flat segments of various specifications that need to be welded are placed on the conveyor frame unit. The travel drive unit under the conveyor frame unit transports the thin plate flat segments back and forth, while several correction devices on each conveyor frame unit correct the position of the thin plate flat segments in the X and Y directions. At the same time, they cooperate with the travel drive unit to improve the synchronization and accuracy of the transmission, save manpower and materials, and improve efficiency.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] In this embodiment, the conveying and correcting device includes a plurality of conveying frame units 1 connected into one body, the conveying frame units are used to place the thin plate plane segments, each conveying frame unit is provided with a plurality of correcting devices 2 for correcting the position and correcting the thin plate plane segments, and a walking drive unit is provided below the conveying frame unit; the correcting device includes a base 3, on which a ball wheel rotation unit and a cylinder lifting unit are provided for correcting the thin plate plane segments in the X direction and the Y direction respectively.

[0021] Specifically, the ball wheel rotation unit includes a vertical lift cylinder 4 and a ball wheel bracket connected to the vertical lift cylinder. The ball wheel bracket is equipped with a rotatable ball wheel 5. A cylindrical bracket 31 for mounting the vertical lift cylinder is provided at the bottom of the base 3. The base is provided with a cylinder through hole, allowing the vertical lift cylinder 4 to move vertically along the cylindrical bracket. Furthermore, the ball wheel bracket includes a lifting column and a ball wheel support platform connected to the lifting column. The ball wheel contacts the thin plate planar segment, allowing the thin plate planar segment to be corrected in the X direction under the rotation of the ball wheel. The lifting column is connected to the output end of the cylinder, allowing the ball wheel to better fit the thin plate planar segment.

[0022] Specifically, the ball wheel rotation unit is a single, independent device driven by a pneumatic cylinder. The ball wheel's rotation adjusts the sheet's position. The ball wheel is located at the top of the correction mechanism, aligned with the contact plane between the conveyor rack and the sheet. Through the rotation of the ball wheel, the interaction between the two wheels, and friction, the plate's conveying is corrected.

[0023] Furthermore, the cylinder lifting unit includes a horizontal cylinder 6 and a latch 7 connected to the horizontal cylinder. The horizontal cylinder is connected to the base via an L-shaped bracket. The latch is U-shaped, with the closed end of the U connected to the output end of the horizontal cylinder via a connector. The open end of the U includes two parallel contact pins. During operation, the horizontal cylinder drives the latch, causing it to push the thin plate segment to the corresponding position, achieving position correction of the thin plate segment in the Y direction.

[0024] At the same time, with the help of manual visual inspection, workers operate the correction device of the thin plate plane segment to complete the pre-welding position alignment and correction of the plane segment on the segment line.

[0025] After the correction is completed, the pin is withdrawn, the ball wheel is lowered, the plane is straightened and corrected in sections before welding, the pre-welding preparations are completed, and welding begins.

[0026] Specifically, the conveying and correction device of the thin plate flat segmented welding station consists of 18✖8 correction devices in the longitudinal conveying position, and adjacent conveying frame units are connected by transmission connection units.

For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
