Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of clamps, and in particular relates to a special tool for processing a ship rudder shaft and a method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The rudder is an important component for controlling the direction and steering of the ship. It has very important applications in ship transportation and marine engineering. It can control the heading direction of the ship so that the ship can travel smoothly on the water. The working principle of the rudder is mainly based on the resistance of seawater and the principle of hydrodynamics. When the rudder is controlled by the control mechanism and the angle of the rudder blade changes, the seawater will produce a reverse resistance. This reverse resistance can change with the change of the rudder blade angle. This reverse resistance will produce a steering torque, thereby helping the ship to change the direction of travel. In this way, the heading direction of the ship can be changed according to the change of the rudder blade angle. Its basic components include the rudder body, rudder shaft, tiller and control mechanism. The rudder shaft is another key component related to the rudder on the ship. Its function is to connect the rudder blade to the keel structure of the ship, so as to control the direction of the ship. The rudder shaft is usually made of steel pipe or cast steel pipe. The rudder is related to the safety of the ship's travel and the operational performance of the ship.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a special tooling for processing a rudder shaft, including a main clamping module 300, the main clamping module 300 includes a clamping disc 301, a clamping groove 302 is provided in the clamping disc 301, the shaft body of the rudder shaft passes through the clamping groove 302, the main clamping module 300 is installed on a mounting plate 100, and threaded holes 102 are provided at four corners of the mounting plate 100. The threaded holes 102 are provided to facilitate the connection between the mounting plate 100 and the processing equipment, and to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the special tooling, and the rudder shaft is passed through the clamping disc 301, and the clamping disc 301 performs limiting support and fixation on the rudder shaft.
[0022] Embodiment 1 like Figure 3 As shown, a clamping body 307 is hingedly installed in a clamping groove 302, and the inner side of the clamping body 307 is tightly fitted to the shaft body of the rudder shaft. The clamping body 307 is in direct contact with the rudder shaft to achieve clamping and fixation of the rudder shaft. A clamping ball 306 is rotatably connected in the clamping body 307, and a clamping rod 305 is embedded and installed on the clamping ball 306. The top end of the clamping rod 305 passes through the clamping disc 301 and extends to the outer end of the clamping disc 301. The clamping rod 305 and the clamping body 307 are connected through the clamping ball 306. The clamping rod 305 and the clamping disc 301 are movably connected, and the clamping rod 305 rotates and moves linearly relative to the clamping disc 301.
[0023] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, a connection groove 309 is provided at the top of the clamping sphere 306, and the bottom end of the clamping rod 305 is connected to the connection groove 309. When the clamping rod 305 is subjected to external force, the clamping rod 305 rotates relative to the clamping sphere 306. In order to realize the movable connection between the clamping body 307 and the clamping sphere 306, an embedded groove 308 is provided in the clamping sphere 306. Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, a spherical groove 311 is provided at the top of the clamping body 307, and the bottom of the clamping sphere 306 is located in the spherical groove 311. An extension portion 310 is provided on the clamping body 307, and one end of the extension portion 310 extends into the spherical groove 311, and a sliding portion 312 is installed at one end of the extension portion 310, and the sliding portion 312 is located in the embedded groove 308. During operation, when the clamping body 307 contacts the rudder shaft, the clamping body 307 is subjected to the squeezing force of the rudder shaft. First, the sliding portion 312 rotates slightly along the groove wall of the embedded groove 308, and secondly, the sliding portion 312 can swing along the arc trajectory of the embedded groove 308, so that it is suitable for clamping the rudder shaft with an irregular shaft body. The clamping body 307 can rotate itself to adjust its position so as to fit the shaft body of the rudder shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the smooth axis or the rudder shaft with an irregular shaft body at the same time.
[0024] Furthermore, if Figure 7As shown, the embedded groove 308 is composed of a large groove 3081 and an inner concave cavity 3082. The large groove 3081 and the inner concave cavity 3082 are connected. The longest distance from the top of the large groove 3081 to the bottom of the inner concave cavity 3082 is greater than the maximum length of the sliding portion 312. The depth of the inner concave cavity 3082 is less than the length of the sliding portion 312. The outer end length of the large groove 3081 is greater than the length of the sliding portion 312.
[0025] The purpose of providing the large groove 3081 and the inner concave cavity 3082 is to prevent the clamping body 307 from being separated from the clamping ball 306 during the rotation or swinging process. Figure 5 As shown, the clamping body 307 is in a swinging state. At this time, the top of the sliding portion 312 on one side of the clamping body 307 is tightly fitted with the inner top of the large groove 3081, and its bottom end is located in the inner concave cavity 3082. That is, when the clamping body 307 swings to the extreme position relative to the clamping sphere 306, the sliding portion 312 plays a blocking role to ensure the reliable connection between the clamping sphere 306 and the clamping body 307.
[0026] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 313 is movably installed on the clamping ball 306 , and both ends of the rotating shaft 313 are fixedly connected with spherical grooves 311 .
[0027] In order to facilitate the rotation of the clamping body 307 relative to the clamping sphere 306, an arc-shaped channel is opened in the clamping body 307, and both ends of the rotating shaft 313 are located in the arc-shaped channel so that the sliding part 312 can rotate slightly against the groove wall of the embedded groove 308, ensuring that the clamping sphere 306 and the clamping body 307 are installed and connected reliably.
[0028] An anti-slip portion 314 is installed at the bottom of the clamping body 307, and the bottom end of the anti-slip portion 314 is in close contact with the shaft body of the rudder shaft. The purpose of setting the anti-slip portion 314 is to ensure the reliability of the contact point and prevent the contact surface between the rudder shaft and the clamping body 307 from changing when subjected to external force, thereby affecting the clamping effect and processing quality.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a clamping groove 2 is provided on the other side of the clamping disc 301, and the clamping groove 2 is connected to the clamping groove 1 302. The diameter of the clamping groove 2 is smaller than the diameter of the clamping groove 1 302, and the structure of the clamping groove 2 is the same as the structure in the clamping groove 1 302, so that the tooling is suitable for the installation of the rudder shaft with a stepped shaft body.
[0030] During operation, a single or multiple clamping discs 301 (such as Fig. 9 As shown), when multiple clamping discs 301 are installed, segmented clamping support and fixation can be achieved to ensure the stability of the rudder shaft; Clamping of the rudder shaft with a stepped shaft: pass one end of the shaft through the clamping groove 1 302 and the clamping groove 2 until the stepped surface abuts against the step surfaces of the clamping groove 1 302 and the clamping groove 2, and the clamping rod 305 is inward or outward relative to the clamping disc 301, so that the clamping body 307 fits the shaft body of the rudder shaft; Clamping of the rudder shaft with the shaft body as the optical axis: pass one end of the shaft body through the clamping groove 1 302 and the clamping groove 2, and the clamping rod 305 is inward or outward relative to the clamping disc 301, so that the clamping body 307 fits the shaft body of the rudder shaft. In this process, multiple clamping rods 305 move synchronously, thereby ensuring the centering of the rudder shaft clamping; Clamping of a rudder shaft with an irregular shaft body: pass one end of the shaft body through the clamping groove 1 302 and the clamping groove 2, and the clamping rod 305 is inward or outward relative to the clamping disk 301, so that the clamping body 307 fits the shaft body of the rudder shaft. During this process, the clamping body 307 automatically rotates or swings according to the shape of the shaft body of the rudder shaft (the sliding part 312 rotates or swings slightly in the embedded groove 308) to completely fit the shaft body of the rudder shaft.
[0031] Embodiment 2 On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, in order to further realize the rotation and linear movement of the clamping disc 301, as Figure 1 As shown, end auxiliary modules 200 are installed at both ends of the mounting plate 100 , and the end auxiliary modules 200 are connected to the main clamping module 300 , and the rotation of the main clamping module 300 is realized through the end auxiliary modules 200 .

A small gear 207 is sleeved on one end of the motor 208, and the small gear 207 is meshed with the large gear 203.

[0034] Specifically, during the processing of the rudder shaft, it is necessary to realize the rotation of the rudder shaft itself. At this time, the motor 208 is working, and the output end of the motor 208 is connected to the small gear 207. The small gear 207 rotates, and the large gear 2 203 is driven to rotate slowly through the small gear 207. At this time, the short shaft 205 rotates with the large gear 2 203.
