Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of offshore ship design and construction, and in particular relates to a method for marking a reference line of a riser with a diameter of more than 1000 mm installed on an offshore ship. Background Art

[0002] A large-diameter riser structure is installed on the side outer plate of a certain marine engineering product. During the segmented construction process, the riser needs to be nested in the segmented structure and welded to the hull structure to form an integral segment. The outer diameter of the riser is more than 1 meter, the length is about 3-5 meters, and the thickness of the tube wall is about 50mm. When the riser is assembled with the segment, it is necessary to first draw the following longitudinal reference lines (plain lines) on the outer wall of the circular tube: 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. When assembling the segments, it is necessary to assemble and weld with the structure at the corresponding positions on the outer wall of the circular tube. However, at present, the pipes do not have the following reference lines drawn at the incoming material stage. It is necessary to design and manufacture an auxiliary marking device to cooperate with the marking, which is provided to the segmented part for use during the segmented assembly. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pipe baseline survey method, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A pipe reference line surveying method is provided. A steel pipe to be measured is placed horizontally and fixed by supporting legs. A measuring ring is sleeved on the end of the steel pipe to be measured. 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270° and 315° scale lines are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the measuring ring surface. A limit plate is arranged at the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° scale lines. The 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° positions are detected respectively. By detecting the values, the distance from the roller to the pipe wall is adjusted so that the center of the measuring ring coincides with the center of the pipe. A long water bubble is arranged at the 0° angle scale line, and the reference surface of the water bubble is accurately set to be completely perpendicular to the 0° angle scale line. The reference surface of the limit plate coincides with the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° position lines.

[0004] When marking, place the sharpened stone pencil close to the reference surface of the limit plate and extend the marking to the tube wall. Before marking, use a ruler or feeler gauge to check the gap between the tube wall and the ring plate. If the tube has an ovality deviation, place a gasket under the roller until the distance between the circular ring plate and the tube wall becomes more consistent, that is, the center of the circular ring plate coincides with the center of the circular tube; then carefully observe whether the long water bubble is centered. If the water bubble is not centered, adjust the angle of the circular ring plate to make the long water bubble completely centered, and then adjust the magnets at the 135-degree and 225-degree positions of the measuring ring. The magnets are close to the tube wall and the ring plate is centered at 135-degree and 225-degree positions. The magnet at the position is adsorbed on the pipe wall to form a fixed point. The datum line points A, B, C, and D corresponding to the positions of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° are drawn on the outer surface of the steel pipe to be tested with a slate pencil. The datum line points A'B'C'D' corresponding to the positions of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° are drawn on the other end of the steel pipe to be tested in the same way. Then, with the chalk line, the datum line points A-A'B-B', C-C', and D-D' are used as the datum points to draw the full-length 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° datum lines AA', B-B', C-C', and D-D' are drawn on the pipe wall, and stamped out to provide to the assembly personnel of the segmented department for positioning construction.

[0005] The above-mentioned pipe baseline surveying method further comprises rollers arranged at 45° and 315°, where the rollers are in contact with the outer surface of the steel pipe to be measured, and magnets arranged at 135° and 225°, where the magnets are in contact with the outer surface of the steel pipe to be measured. The magnets are fixed to the end of the carbon casing, the carbon casing is supported by an eye plate, the eye plate is vertically fixed to the surface of the measuring ring, the carbon casing passes through the eye plate and is fixed by bolts.

[0006] In the above-mentioned pipe reference line surveying method, further, the supporting legs are respectively fixed below the two ends of the circular pipe.

[0007] The above-mentioned pipe reference line surveying method further comprises two eye plates which are bonded to the outer surface of the measuring ring by glue.

[0008] In the above-mentioned pipe reference line surveying method, further, a bolt passes through the top of the eye plate and presses on the carbon sleeve to fix the carbon sleeve.

[0009] The above-mentioned pipe reference line surveying method further comprises the following steps: a rectangular groove is opened on the surface of the measuring ring, and the bottom of the eye plate is inserted into the groove and bonded by glue.

[0010] The present invention improves marking accuracy, improves marking efficiency, reduces the number of people required for marking, ensures segmented construction accuracy, and reduces shipbuilding costs.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the measuring ring has an annular main board, and the center angle reference lines of 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, and 315° are accurately drawn on the annular main board using an engraving machine or a CNC machine tool. Rollers are fixed at the 45° and 315° reference lines, and the radius of the rollers must be sufficient to ensure that the rollers will support the annular plate after installation, so that there is a uniform gap between the annular plate and the pipe wall.

[0016] The roller has a roller shaft which passes through the annular main board. The roller has an external thread which cooperates with a nut. The threaded end shaft of the roller is screwed onto the annular main board. The roller is tangent to the outer wall of the steel pipe to be tested and can roll on the steel pipe to be tested.
