Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ship construction, and in particular relates to a method for centering a ship gear box and an intermediate bracket. Background Art

[0002] In order to adapt to the increasingly faster pace of modern shipbuilding and achieve cost-effectiveness, this calibration tool is designed to achieve standardization of shipbuilding, maximize the use of limited resources, and reduce kinetic energy loss and human resource costs.

[0003] During the installation of ship equipment, the universal coupling is an important component that connects the gearbox and the intermediate bracket. Its installation accuracy is relatively high. The position of the gearbox and the intermediate bracket has a great influence on its installation. Therefore, before installation, it is necessary to check whether its position meets the standards.

[0004] After the gearbox and the intermediate bracket are installed, a needle tip alignment tool will be installed on the input flange end of the gearbox and the output flange end of the intermediate bracket. The needle tip position measurement result determines whether the alignment meets the standard. Its position will have a great impact on the subsequent installation of the universal coupling. The previous process used a steel ruler for the calibration measurement of the needle tip alignment, which has the disadvantages of large errors. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art and provide a method for centering a ship gearbox and an intermediate bracket. The present invention facilitates the measurement of centering by setting a centering device and connecting the gearbox to the intermediate bracket, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0006] In order to achieve the above invention purpose, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] S2, install the centering device on one side of the input flange end of the gearbox and one side of the output flange end of the intermediate bracket respectively;

[0010] S3, pass the recording strip through the gap between the gearbox and the intermediate bracket, so that the needle-tip alignment tools on the gearbox and the intermediate bracket draw alignment marks on the two sides of the recording strip, and judge whether the alignment of the gearbox and the intermediate bracket meets the requirements through the error of the alignment marks on both sides of the recording strip, and complete the alignment of the ship gearbox and the intermediate bracket.

[0011] Further, the tail parts of the tip centering tools are respectively connected and fixed to the input flange end of the gearbox and the output flange end of the intermediate bracket. The tip centering tools on the gearbox and the tip centering tools on the intermediate bracket are arranged facing each other. The axis of the tip centering tool on the gearbox coincides with the axis of the gearbox, and the axis of the tip centering tool on the intermediate bracket coincides with the axis of the intermediate bracket.

[0012] Further, the centering device includes a sleeve and a connecting plate. The sleeves are respectively installed on the input flange end of the gearbox and the output flange end of the intermediate bracket. The connecting plate connects the sleeves installed on the gearbox and the intermediate bracket. The sleeve is integrally rectangular. A circular through-hole is opened on the end face of the sleeve. A clamping plate is arranged on one end face of the sleeve, and a clamping groove is arranged on each side of the sleeve. The connecting plate is integrally U-shaped. When the connecting plate is installed, both sides of the connecting plate are stuck in the clamping grooves of the sleeve.

[0013] Further, a detection strip hole is arranged on the end face of the connecting plate. When the connecting plate is installed, the detection strip holes of the connecting plate in the vertical direction are symmetrically installed, and the detection strip holes of the connecting plate in the horizontal direction are symmetrically installed.

[0014] Further, the recording strip board is integrally a long strip of cardboard. The width of the recording strip board is smaller than the length of the detection strip hole of the connecting plate. Cross coordinate systems are respectively arranged on both side surfaces of the recording strip board. The horizontal axis in the coordinate system coincides with the center line of the recording strip board. The two side surfaces of the recording strip board are coated with a mixture of black paraffin wax and charcoal.

[0015] Further, the centering of the centering device is specifically as follows: The sleeves are respectively sleeved on the input flange end of the gearbox and the output flange end of the intermediate bracket. One end of the sleeve provided with the clamping groove is arranged opposite. The connecting plate is used to connect the sleeves respectively. First, the recording strip board is inserted into the detection strip hole on the connecting plate in the vertical direction and removed from the detection strip hole on the lower connecting plate. The tip centering tool draws centering lines on both sides of the recording strip board, measures the distances between the centering lines on both sides of the recording strip board and the horizontal axis of the recording strip board, and calculates the difference distance between the centering lines on both sides; then the recording strip board is inserted into the detection strip hole on the connecting plate in the horizontal direction and removed from the detection strip hole on the lower connecting plate. The tip centering tool draws centering lines on both sides of the recording strip board, measures the distances between the centering lines on both sides of the recording strip board and the horizontal axis of the recording strip board, and calculates the difference distance between the centering lines on both sides; the centering detection of the gearbox and the intermediate bracket is completed.
