Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering equipment, and in particular to a pile turning cylinder and marine engineering equipment and a pile turning method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Pile turner is a kind of engineering equipment, mainly used in the construction of bridges, offshore operations and other projects. Its function is to turn over steel pipe piles for easy transportation and installation.

[0003] As an important equipment used in engineering construction such as bridges and offshore operations, the main function of the pile turner is to turn the steel pipe pile from a horizontal state to a vertical state to facilitate subsequent transportation, installation and piling operations. The design and operation of the pile turner are crucial to ensuring the progress and safety of the project. The traditional pile turner consists of a mounting base and a number of clamping parts, which usually include a hydraulic cylinder and a clamping claw linked to it. The hydraulic cylinder is powered by an external power station, which usually consists of an oil pump driven by a motor and an oil tank connected to the oil pump. The oil pump provides oil to the hydraulic cylinder on the mounting base through a pipeline.

[0004] In the working mode of traditional pile turning device, the oil pipe of the hydraulic system connects the external power source and the pile turning device, which has certain limitations. Especially when working at sea, the sea wind, waves and other uncertain factors on the sea surface pose a great challenge to the working environment; working when the waves are large will cause the oil pipe to shake or entangle, which may cause the hydraulic system to fail, thus affecting the operating accuracy and safety of the pile turning device. Especially when performing precise operations, such as lifting the steel pipe pile to the specified position accurately, the unstable oil pressure may cause the pile turning device to be unable to maintain a stable clamping state, thereby increasing the risk of accidents during the operation.

[0005] An integrated pile flipping and transferring equipment with national application number 202010466999.4 includes a mounting seat and a plurality of clamping components evenly distributed on the mounting seat, each clamping component is driven by a hydraulic cylinder to clamp or separate, and a driving component is provided on the mounting seat, which includes a battery fixed on the mounting seat, a motor electrically connected to the battery, an oil pump driven by the motor and an oil tank connected to the oil pump, and the oil tank is provided with hydraulic oil inlet and outlet oil passages respectively connected to each hydraulic cylinder.

[0006] Although the integrated pile turning equipment has a relatively simplified design in structure and solves the problem of complex hydraulic system and dependence on external power station in traditional pile turning devices, the oil pump of the equipment is driven by an electric motor. Under long-term operation or high-load operation, the motor may overheat, lack of power or loss problems, resulting in the oil pump being unable to supply oil stably, affecting the normal operation of the hydraulic system, and then affecting the precise movement of the clamping components and reducing operating efficiency. These defects may affect the stability, operating efficiency and safety of the equipment. Summary of the invention

[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a pile turning cylinder, comprising a piston rod 2 arranged in the inner cavity of a cylinder body 1, the piston rod 2 divides the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 into a rod cavity and a rodless cavity, the two cavities respectively contain hydraulic oil to drive the piston to move; the rod cavity and the rodless cavity are connected to a first oil port 5 and a second oil port 6 through a rod pipeline 3 and a rodless pipeline 4 respectively;

[0049] The second oil port 6 is also connected to the pressure relief oil port 8 through the pressure relief pipe 7. A plurality of pressure relief holes 9 are arranged on the outer periphery of the cylinder body 1. The pressure relief holes 9 are all connected to the pressure relief oil port 8 for quick oil unloading.

[0050] During operation, check the equipment status to ensure that the cylinder body 1, piston rod 2, rod pipe 3, rodless pipe 4, pressure relief pipe 7 and pressure relief oil port 8 are connected normally, the hydraulic oil is sufficient and there is no leakage, check whether the connection between the first oil port 5, the second oil port 6 and the hydraulic system is firm; then pressurize the rod chamber or rodless chamber through the hydraulic system to ensure that the piston rod 2 is in the initial position.

[0051] The first oil port 5 and the second oil port 6 are connected to the oil tank respectively, and the piston rod 2 is connected to the movable joint 1503 of the clamping device through the connecting ring 12;

[0052] When clamping is required, the piston rod extends, and the hydraulic system supplies hydraulic oil to the second oil port 6 of the cylinder. The hydraulic oil flows into the rodless chamber through the rodless pipe 4, and the pressure in the rodless chamber gradually increases, that is, the output force increases. When the output force is greater than the load force, the piston rod extends. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber flows back to the oil tank through the rod pipe 3 and the first oil port 5; thereby driving the movable joint 1503 to retract and extend upward, so that the claw body 1501 rotates around the base 1502 to drive the clamping claw 15 to open and close and clamp the target pile body; the opening and closing angle of the clamping claw can be controlled by adjusting the hydraulic pressure according to the size and shape of the target pile body.

[0053] When the clamping is completed, the piston rod is retracted, and the hydraulic system supplies hydraulic oil to the first oil port 5 of the cylinder. The hydraulic oil flows into the rod chamber through the rod pipe 3. The pressure in the rod chamber gradually increases, that is, the output force increases. When the output force is greater than the load force, the piston rod is retracted. At this time, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber flows back to the oil tank through the rodless pipe 4 and the second oil port 6.

[0054] When there is a blockage in the rod cavity, the internal pressure of the hydraulic system may increase rapidly, causing unstable operation or even damage to the equipment; the excess hydraulic oil can be quickly released through the pressure relief pipe 7 and the pressure relief hole 9 to reduce the internal pressure of the system;

[0055] If necessary, a built-in pressure sensor can be installed in the hydraulic system to monitor the changes in rod chamber pressure in real time. When the pressure exceeds the preset safety threshold, the system automatically opens the pressure relief pipe to ensure that the internal pressure is quickly released.

[0056] As a specific implementation, an oil port groove 10 is provided on the cylinder body 1, a rod pipe 3 and a rodless pipe 4 are arranged in the cylinder body 1, a first oil port 5 and a second oil port 6 are arranged in the oil port groove 10, and the rod pipe 3 is also connected to the pressure measuring port 11.

[0057] Specifically, the cylinder body 1 is the main component of the pile turning cylinder, and an inner cavity for accommodating the piston rod 2 is formed therein; the inner cavity is divided into a rod cavity and a rodless cavity by the piston rod 2, which are used to respectively accommodate hydraulic oil to realize the hydraulic driving function;

[0058] An oil port groove 10 is arranged outside the cylinder body 1. The oil port groove adopts a groove structure to centrally accommodate the first oil port 5 and the second oil port 6, so that the oil circuit layout of the hydraulic system is more compact and safe; the opening position of the oil port groove 10 is convenient for connecting the pipeline with the external hydraulic system, while reducing the exposed area of ​​the pipeline, improving the overall protection performance of the equipment, and is particularly suitable for the high-humidity and high-corrosion working environment in marine engineering.

[0059] Specifically, the rod pipe 3 and the rodless pipe 4 are completely built into the cylinder body 1, which can effectively reduce the exposure of external pipelines and reduce the risk of pipeline damage in harsh environments; the inner surface of the pipeline is specially treated to reduce the resistance to the flow of hydraulic oil and improve the system operation efficiency.

[0060] As a specific implementation, a connecting ring 12 is further provided at the end of the piston rod 2. A connecting groove is provided at the end of the connecting ring 12. The end of the piston rod 2 is inserted into the connecting groove and is locked by bolt connection.

[0061] Specifically, the connecting ring 12 is made of high-strength metal material and combined with a multi-point bolt locking design to ensure that it can withstand the high-strength tension, thrust and torque generated during the operation of the hydraulic system to avoid failure or breakage due to overload.

[0062] Specifically, the connecting ring 12 is an extension component of the piston rod 2, and its main function is to achieve the connection between the piston rod and an external device or load; through the adaptive design of the connecting ring 12 and the external device, the driving force of the hydraulic cylinder can be effectively transmitted.

[0063] Specifically, insert the end of the piston rod 2 into the connecting groove at the end of the connecting ring 12 to ensure that the piston rod is completely in contact with the inner wall of the connecting groove; align the bolt holes when plugging in to ensure smooth subsequent bolt installation; then use high-strength bolts to firmly lock the piston rod 2 and the connecting ring 12; use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts evenly when connecting to avoid unstable connection due to uneven force.

[0064] Specifically, after the bolts are installed, anti-loosening glue can be applied to the threads to further enhance the reliability of the bolt connection.

[0065] As a specific implementation, a connecting sleeve 13 is also sleeved on the piston rod 2 ; the connecting sleeve 13 is arranged at the entrance of the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 , and is used to abut against the piston head of the piston rod 2 .

[0066] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 13 is an annular cylindrical component, which is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 2 and is arranged at the inner cavity entrance of the cylinder body 1; before the piston rod 2 is inserted into the cylinder body 1, the connecting sleeve 13 is first inserted from one end of the piston rod and slid to the predetermined position of the piston rod to ensure that the connecting sleeve fits tightly with the piston head; then the piston rod 2 equipped with the connecting sleeve is inserted into the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1, and the connecting sleeve 13 is fixed at the supporting position at the inner cavity entrance of the cylinder body, so that the connecting sleeve 13 and the inner cavity entrance of the cylinder body 1 form a certain sealing structure, which can effectively prevent the hydraulic oil from leaking from the inner cavity and improve the working efficiency and safety of the hydraulic system; after the installation is completed, check whether the connecting sleeve 13 is stably installed on the piston rod 2 and whether it is accurately positioned with the inner cavity entrance of the cylinder body 1, so as to ensure that the connecting sleeve can normally withstand the force of the piston rod.

[0067] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 13 is made of high-strength metal material (such as alloy steel, stainless steel or corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy), has the properties of high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is suitable for the harsh environment of marine engineering.

[0068] As an embodiment, a sealing device is provided on the outside of the rotary joint, and the sealing device includes an O-ring, a V-ring or a friction sealing ring. These sealing elements can effectively maintain the pressure of the hydraulic system and ensure the normal operation of the cylinder.

[0069] When the hydraulic system is working, the hydraulic oil is transmitted from the oil tank through the pipeline to the rotary joint. The hydraulic energy is usually provided by a booster cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an oil pump. The oil flows through the inner cavity of the rotary joint. As the rotating parts move relative to each other, the sealing device plays an important sealing role to prevent oil leakage.

[0070] As an embodiment, the material of the sealing device is generally a rubber or polyurethane material that is resistant to high pressure, high temperature and corrosion.

[0071] Specifically, in hydraulic systems, sealing devices play a vital role, especially in key parts such as rotating joints. In order to ensure the long-term stability and reliability of the sealing effect, the material of the sealing device must have excellent properties of high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Commonly used sealing materials include high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance rubber materials and polyurethane materials. These materials can withstand extreme working conditions in hydraulic systems and ensure the normal operation of hydraulic systems.

[0074] The driving arm 14 includes a first arm 1401, a second arm 1402 and a third arm 1403. The first arm 1401 is connected to the second arm 1402 via a first rotating joint 1404, and the second arm 1402 is connected to the third arm 1403 via a second rotating joint 1405. Rotating motors are provided in the first rotating joint 1404 and the second rotating joint 1405, and the driving arm 14 can be freely adjusted in angle by driving the rotating motors.

[0075] During operation, check whether the oil circuit connection of the pile turning cylinder and the hydraulic system is unobstructed to ensure that the hydraulic oil is sufficient and leak-free; confirm that the clamping device (driving arm 14 and clamping claw 15) is in the initial position, and the angle of each rotating joint (1404, 1405) is adjusted to the standard starting state;

[0076] Then start the rotary motor in the rotary joint, adjust the angle of the driving arm 14, and make the clamping claw 15 align with the target pile body, ready to perform the clamping action;

[0077] The hydraulic system of the pile turning cylinder is started, thereby driving the movable joint 1503 to extend and retract upward, so that the claw body 1501 rotates around the base 1502 to drive the clamping claw 15 to open and close and clamp the target pile body, so that the arc-shaped claw body of the clamping claw is closed; the pile body is firmly grasped through the anti-slip teeth on the clamping claw 15 to ensure stable clamping; the clamping force is adjusted through the hydraulic system according to the shape and material of the pile body to avoid damage to the pile body during the clamping process, while ensuring safety during pile turning;

[0078] When the driving arm angle adjustment is required, the rotary motor in the first rotary joint 1404 is started to adjust the angle of the first arm 1401 so that the pile body initially enters the flipping position; the rotary motor in the second rotary joint 1405 is started to cooperate with the second arm 1402 and the third arm 1403 to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom angle adjustment and complete the pile flipping action; at the same time, the hydraulic power provided by the pile flipping cylinder is used to push the clamping claw 15 to maintain the clamping state to ensure the stable position of the pile body during the flipping process;

[0079] After the pile turning is completed, the hydraulic system of the pile turning cylinder is driven in reverse to open the clamping claws 15 and release the target pile body; and it is confirmed that the pile body is completely separated from the clamping device.

[0080] Specifically, the driving arm 14 includes three arm sections: a first arm 1401, a second arm 1402 and a third arm 1403; each arm section is connected by a rotary joint (1404, 1405) to form an adjustable structure with multiple degrees of freedom; the first rotary joint 1404 and the second rotary joint 1405 are built with a rotary motor to provide high-precision angle adjustment capability;

[0081] The clamping claw 15 is composed of a number of arc-shaped claws, and the end of the claws is provided with anti-slip teeth to enhance the clamping effect; the clamping claw is connected to the end of the driving arm 14 through a movable joint, and is connected to the hydraulic system of the pile turning cylinder, and the opening and closing of the clamping claw is realized by hydraulic drive; and each rotating joint is equipped with a high-strength bearing and a sealing device to ensure stable operation under high load and harsh environment;

[0082] The built-in rotary motor can provide high-precision angle adjustment and monitor and adjust the angle of each joint in real time through the control system; the real-time data can be fed back to the control system through the sensors in the rotary joint (such as angle encoders) to ensure the accuracy and stability of the pile turning process.

[0083] As a specific implementation, the clamping claw 15 includes a plurality of claw bodies 1501 and a base 1502; each claw body 1501 is connected to the base 1502 via a movable joint 1503, and can freely open and close, thereby achieving clamping of workpieces of different shapes.

[0084] Specifically, the base 1502 is fixed to the end of the driving arm 14 by bolts or welding to ensure the stability of the base;

[0085] The claw body 1501 of the clamping claw 15 is in an open state through the movable joint 1503, and can be aligned with the position and shape of the target workpiece; the hydraulic system is started to apply moving pressure to the movable joint 1503, driving the claw body 1501 to rotate around the movable joint and gradually close; the arc structure and anti-slip tooth pattern at the end of the claw body can fit tightly against the surface of the workpiece to achieve stable clamping, adapt to the clamping needs of workpieces of different shapes, and ensure that the workpiece will not slip or loosen during the flipping or clamping process.

[0088] A dense anti-corrosion coating can be formed on the surface of the claw to prevent seawater and salt spray from corroding the metal;

[0089] The claw body can also adopt ceramic or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating to enhance the wear resistance of the surface and extend the service life; coating the anti-slip coating of high friction coefficient material on the tooth pattern part can further improve the clamping stability.

[0090] Specifically, when the clamping claw is closed, the structure of the arc-shaped claw body can fit tightly against the surface of the workpiece, provide additional friction through the anti-slip tooth pattern, and firmly grasp the workpiece; the coated surface of the claw body can not only protect the surface of the workpiece from damage caused by direct metal contact, but also prevent wear caused by friction.

[0094] Example 3

[0095] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a pile turning method for marine engineering equipment, and the pile turning method for marine engineering equipment includes the following steps:

[0096] S1: Perform a preliminary inspection to ensure that the pile turning cylinder is installed in place and is correctly connected to the driving arm 14 and the clamping claw 15 of the clamping device; check the oil circuit connectivity of the hydraulic system, including the rod chamber, the rodless chamber and the pressure relief oil circuit, to ensure that the hydraulic oil is sufficient and there is no leakage; use the clamping claw 15 of the clamping device to adjust the opening and closing state, clamp or fix the target pile body, and ensure that the anti-slip teeth of the claw body 1501 are in full contact with the surface of the pile body to avoid loosening or slipping during the pile turning process;

[0097] S2: Start the hydraulic system, drive the movable joint 1503 to slide along the height of the base 1502, and drive the claw body 1501 to close the clamping claw 15; adjust the opening and closing angle of the clamping claw 15 according to the shape and size of the target pile body, so that the arc structure of the claw body 1501 is completely fitted with the pile body, and ensure that the clamping force of the clamping device is sufficient by adjusting the pressure of the hydraulic oil, and confirm that the claw body 1501 has clamped the target pile body;

[0098] S3: Start the rotary motors in the first rotary joint 1404 and the second rotary joint 1405, adjust the angle of the driving arm 14, and flip the pile body at the set path and angle; according to the operation requirements, the angles of the first arm 1401, the second arm 1402 and the third arm 1403 can be adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the pile turning action;

[0099] S4: The hydraulic system adjusts the hydraulic pressure of the oil cylinder in real time to drive the piston rod 2 to reciprocate to provide the power required for pile turning; according to the progress of pile turning, the oil is quickly unloaded through the pressure relief pipe 7 and the pressure relief hole 9 to ensure the stability and controllability of the pile turning action;

[0100] S5: After the pile turning is completed, stop the rotating motor, adjust the driving arm 14 to the initial position, reversely operate the movable joint 1503 through the hydraulic system, drive the clamping claw 15 to loosen the pile body, and ensure the safe release of the pile body; then control the pile turning cylinder to return the piston rod 2 to ensure that the rod chamber and the rodless chamber are in the initial pressure balance state; finally, check whether the pressure relief oil circuit has completed the pressure relief to ensure that the equipment is in standby mode.

[0101] Specifically, the movable joint 1503 is driven by the hydraulic system to slide along the height of the base 1502, and the claw body 1501 can quickly open and close the operation, thereby improving the efficiency of clamping and releasing; the rotating motor in the rotating joint (1404, 1405) provides precise angle adjustment, and cooperates with the power output of the hydraulic cylinder to achieve rapid response of the pile turning action; it can realize efficient, accurate and safe pile turning operations in marine engineering, and is an innovative technical solution with broad application prospects.

[0102] As an embodiment, when multiple pile turning operations are required, step S4 is repeated, and before each pile turning operation, a quick check is performed on the clamping device and the pile turning cylinder to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0103] Specifically, the present invention supports multiple continuous pile turning operations. By repeatedly executing step S4 (the hydraulic system adjusts the hydraulic pressure of the cylinder in real time to drive the piston rod to reciprocate), the equipment can quickly enter the next pile turning task without complicated adjustments and preparations, thereby greatly improving work efficiency. The process of repeated operations is simple and efficient, which reduces the operation time and realizes rapid turnover of pile turning tasks.
