Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of container ship construction, and particularly relates to a fixed jaw pitch caliper for positioning and installing a flap member and a using method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As Figures 10 to 12 shown, a large number of flap members are provided on the transverse bulkhead of the transverse compartment of a container ship. The flap member includes a rotatable flap body, a rotating mechanism and a supporting backing plate. The rotating mechanism includes a flap fixing member and a hinge plate member. The distance from the center of the flap fixing member to the edge of the adjacent hull structure opening is fixed. The hinge plate member provided on the flap body is hinged and fixed to the flap fixing member provided on the hull structure opening, so that the flap body can be turned around the hinge and erected on the supporting backing plate fixedly connected to the hull structure. Therefore, a large number of flap fixing members and supporting backing plates often need to be fixed on the hull structure. However, the layout spacing between the flap fixing member and the supporting backing plate is limited by the width dimension of the structure opening on the hull structure platform, resulting in frequent changes in the layout spacing.

[0003] Currently, during the on-site construction positioning process of the flap in the transverse compartment of a container ship, traditional measuring tools such as a tape measure or a straightedge are usually used. However, since the hull structure opening is arc-shaped and there are protrusions on both sides of the edge, and at the same time, in order to ensure the smooth turning of the flap body, there is also a gap between the protrusion at the edge of the hull structure opening in the installation area of the flap member and the arc-shaped outer edge of the flap body. As a result, when the traditional measuring tool is used for positioning, it often needs to be measured repeatedly between the installation reference point and the reference object, which leads to a time-consuming and labor-intensive on-site construction positioning process. Moreover, the final measurement accuracy obtained by positioning with the traditional measuring tool is relatively low, and there are often situations where the flap fixing member and the hinge plate member of the pre-installed rotating mechanism cannot be correctly docked and aligned due to positioning deviation. At the same time, the error generated during the installation positioning process may also cause the rotating mechanism of the flap to be locked due to friction and unable to achieve turning rotation. In addition, the change in the depth of the hull structure opening in the installation area of the flap member of different ship types or different areas of the same ship will also increase the difficulty and accuracy of measurement.

[0004] Therefore, during the installation process of the flap in the transverse bulkhead of a container ship, how to achieve convenient, fast, and accurate measurement and positioning in on-site production has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. To overcome the technical problems in on-site construction, this application proposes a fixed jaw-spacing caliper modified based on an ordinary vernier caliper. By the adjustability of the position and spacing of the auxiliary jaw group, the measurement of the installation position of the flap component is realized, which greatly facilitates the workers to quickly and conveniently measure the installation position of the flap component in a complex ship construction environment. At the same time, since the length range of such flaps of large container ships varies between 1.5 m and 2.8 m, and each component of the flap component is relatively long, the magnetic design enables the positioning and installation work to be completed without holding a particularly long measuring tool for a long time. Summary of the Invention

[0031] (2) A fixed jaw distance caliper for positioning and installing a flap member and its usage method according to the present invention, through the design of a detachable and replaceable positioning jaw body and base, greatly increases the application range of the tool of the present invention and enhances the versatility of the tool; when encountering different structural opening depths in different ship type designs, or different structural opening depths in different hull structures on the same ship, the positioning jaw with an adapted length can be disassembled and replaced to cope with application scenarios of multiple ship types and multiple situations, having a wider applicability and flexibility.

[0032] (3) A fixed jaw distance caliper for positioning and installing a flap member and its usage method according to the present invention, compared with the prior art, has fixed the relative positions of the measurement points through the positioning jaw and the limit jaw. Only by referring to the structural opening can the installation positioning points be quickly obtained; at the same time, the scale lines on the main scale bar can be used to determine whether there is an accuracy error between the actual hull opening value and the designed value. Therefore, the deviation can be corrected in a timely manner during on-site construction; compared with using an ordinary tape measure for measurement and positioning during the traditional positioning and installation process, this caliper is convenient to use, simple to operate, and can greatly reduce the on-site installation positioning man-hour input.

[0046] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the positional relationships indicated by terms such as "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. cited in this specification are based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] As Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a fixed jaw pitch caliper for positioning and installing a flap member, including a caliper body and an auxiliary jaw group; the caliper body includes a main scale rod 1 and a vernier scale 2, the vernier scale 2 is sleeved on the main scale rod 1, can slide left and right along the main scale rod 1 and is locked and fixed on the main scale rod 1 by a first fastening screw 7, and is used to measure the opening width W of the hull structure 10.

[0050] An auxiliary jaw group is fixedly connected to the same side of the main scale rod 1 and the vernier scale 2 respectively. Each group of auxiliary jaw groups is vertically fixed at a position near the left end of the main scale rod 1 and the right end of the vernier scale 2. Specifically, each group of auxiliary jaw groups includes a limit jaw 3 and a positioning jaw 5.

[0051] The limit jaw 3 and the positioning jaw 5 are located on the same side. The measuring surface of the limit jaw 3 is arranged opposite to the measuring surface of the adjacent positioning jaw 5. A fixed jaw pitch is provided between the outer end faces of the adjacent limit jaws 3 and the outer end faces of the positioning jaws 5, and the distance of the fixed jaw pitch is equal to the distance from the flap fixing member 93 on the flap body 91 to the edge of the adjacent flap body 91. Since the distance from the hinge plate member 92 on the existing flap body 91 to the edge of the adjacent flap body 91 is the same, the position of the flap fixing member 93 matching the hinge plate member 92 on the hull structure 10 can be directly determined by the fixed jaw pitch, and at the same time, it also provides a basis for the positioning of the support backing plate 94 on the hull structure 10.

[0052] The limit jaw 3 is used for measurement and limit assistance during the positioning and installation of the diaphragm flap member 9, can quickly measure the distance between the two side edges of the opening of the hull structure 10 to verify and ensure the correct selection of the flap member 9, and assist in limiting the distance between the flap body 91 and the opening of the hull structure 10 to be always L. Generally, the value of L is 10 mm.

[0053] Specifically, the limit jaw 3 includes a first limit jaw 31 and a second limit jaw 32; the first limit jaw 31 is vertically fixed on the main scale rod 1 and there is a certain distance between it and the left edge of the main scale rod 1 to provide support between the caliper body and the hull structure 10, so as to ensure flatness. In a further preferred embodiment, a spirit level is also provided on the main scale rod 1 to improve the accuracy during positioning and installation; scale lines 11 are provided on the main scale rod 1, and the left end face of the first limit jaw 31 is flush with the zero scale reference line on the scale lines 11.

[0054] The second limiting claw 32 is vertically fixed to the right end of the vernier 2, and the right end face of the second limiting claw 32 is flush with the right edge of the vernier 2. The distance between the first limiting claw 31 and the second limiting claw 32 is the width W of the opening of the hull structure 10. That is, when the fixed-claw distance caliper is placed at the opening of the hull structure 10, the reading value of the scale line 11 corresponding to the right edge of the vernier 2 is the width of the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0055] A limiting block 4 is further provided on the limiting claw 3. The limiting block 4 is a rectangular body, and the width of the rectangular body is consistent with the gap width L between the two ends of the outer side of the flap body 91 and the edge of the adjacent hull structure 10 opening. The limiting block 4 has magnetism and is used to adsorb and fix the fixed-claw distance caliper on the hull structure 10, and at the same time is used to position the flap body 91 with the edge of the hull structure 10 opening as a reference; in this embodiment, the limiting block 4 is made of permanent magnet material.

[0056] The limiting block 4 includes a first limiting block 41 and a second limiting block 42. The first limiting block 41 and the second limiting block 42 have the same shape. The first limiting block 41 is arranged on the first limiting claw 31, and the second limiting block 42 is arranged on the second limiting claw 32. The left edge of the first limiting block 41 is flush with the left edge of the first limiting claw 31, the right edge of the second limiting block 42 is flush with the right edge of the second limiting claw 32, and the upper edges of the first limiting block 41 and the second limiting block 42 are both flush with the lower edge of the main scale bar 1.

[0057] The positioning claw 5 is used to directly obtain the positioning and installation position of the flap fixing member 93 on the hull structure 10. Specifically, the positioning claw 5 includes a first positioning claw 51 and a second positioning claw 52. The first positioning claw 51 is vertically fixed to the main scale bar 1, and the fixed-claw distance is provided between the outer end face of the first positioning claw 51 and the outer end face of the first limiting claw 31. The second positioning claw 52 is vertically fixed to the vernier 2, and the fixed-claw distance is provided between the outer end face of the second positioning claw 52 and the outer end face of the second limiting claw 32. The distance from the lower tip of each positioning claw 5 to the lower end face of the main scale bar 1 is consistent with the opening depth D of the hull structure 10.

[0058] During operation, by sliding the vernier scale 2 on the main scale rod 1, the left end face of the first limit claw 31 and the right end face of the second limit claw 32 are respectively in contact with the two side edges of the opening of the hull structure 10, and the connection line between the lower tips of the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 is parallel to the lower edge of the main scale rod 1. At this time, the distance between the right end face of the first positioning claw 51 and the left end face of the second positioning claw 52 is the distance between the two support plates 94 on the flap body 91.

[0059] In another embodiment, both the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 include a base 61 and a positioning claw body 62. The positioning claw body 62 is detachably fixed to one end of the base 61, and the other end of the base 61 is fixed to the caliper body.

[0060] Specifically, a through hole is provided on the positioning claw body 62 and is equipped with a second fastening screw 8. A threaded hole is provided on the base 61, and the threaded hole matches the external thread of the second fastening screw 8. The positioning claw body 62 is locked and fixed to the base 61 through the second fastening screw 8.

[0061] By providing a threaded hole on the base 61, the positioning claw body 62 can be quickly replaced and fixed without tools. The length of the positioning claw body 62 is determined according to the structural opening depth D of the hull structure 10 on different ship types, so that the distance from the tip of the positioning claw body 62 to the lower end face of the main scale rod 1 is the same as the structural opening depth D of the hull structure 10. The upper end face of the base 61 of the first positioning claw 51 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the main scale rod 1, the upper end face of the base 61 of the second positioning claw 52 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vernier scale 2, and the lower end faces of the bases 61 of the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 are flush.

[0062] During operation, when the structural opening depth D changes on different ship types, the positioning claw body 62 fixed on the base 61 of the positioning claw 5 can be replaced. At the same time, by respectively arranging a rectangular limit block 4 made of permanent magnet material at the intersection of the main scale rod 1 and the edge of each limit claw 3 on the two limit claws 3, the general application requirements for the construction of various container ships with different specifications and structural forms can be more widely met.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] As Figures 7 to 9 shown, this embodiment provides a method for using a fixed claw pitch caliper for positioning and installing a flap member using the first embodiment, including the following steps:

[0065] S1. Determine the lengths of the main scale rod 1 and the positioning claw 5 according to the opening size of the hull structure 10.

[0066] According to the width W and depth D of the opening of the hull structure 10, determine the length of the main scale rod 1 and the length of the positioning claw 5, so that the length of the main scale rod 1 is greater than the width W of the opening of the hull structure 10, thereby ensuring that the entire opening area of the hull structure 10 can be covered during measurement, ensuring the accurate acquisition of the data of the width W of the opening of the hull structure 10 and the precise positioning of the flap member 9, and making the length of the positioning claw 5 equal to the depth D of the opening of the hull structure 10, so as to ensure that during the measurement process, the positioning claw 5 can accurately touch the bottom of the opening of the hull structure 10, and improve the positioning accuracy of the flap fixing member 93 and the support backing plate 94 through one-to-one point-to-point correspondence.

[0067] In this embodiment, it is necessary to select a suitable fixed claw pitch caliper, and it may be necessary to carry multiple calipers with fixed claw pitches of different claw depths for the positioning claw 5 to meet on-site requirements; in another embodiment, when both the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 include a base 61 and a positioning claw body 62, when determining the length of the main scale rod 1, make the length of the main scale rod 1 greater than the maximum width of the opening of the hull structure 10, and then only need to detachably replace the positioning claw body 62 on the base 61, which can be applicable to different openings of the hull structure 10 on the same hull. At the same time, when not in use, the positioning claw body 62 can be detached, which is convenient for the storage of the main scale rod 1 and has portability and flexibility.

[0068] S2. As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, place the fixed claw pitch caliper at the opening of the hull structure 10 in the installation area of the flap member 9, and abut the first limiting claw 31 against one side edge of the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0069] S2-1. Orient the side of the main scale rod 1 with the auxiliary claw group towards the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0070] S2-2. At the same time, abut the first limiting claw 31 at the end of the main scale rod 1 against one side edge of the opening of the hull structure 10, so that the overall structure of the main scale rod 1 is not higher than the lower edge of the horizontal plane of the hull structure 10, and the outer side edge of the first limiting block 41 on the first limiting claw 31 is flush with one side edge of the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0071] S3. Slide the vernier 2 on the main scale rod 1 until the second limiting claw 32 abuts against the other side edge of the opening of the hull structure 10, and use the limiting block 4 to magnetically fix the fixed claw pitch caliper to the hull structure 10.

[0072] S3-1. Slide the vernier 2 until the second limiting claw 32 abuts against the other side edge of the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0073] S3-2. When the first limiting claw 31 and the second limiting claw 32 respectively abut against both sides of the opening edge of the hull structure 10, the fixed jaw distance caliper is magnetically adsorbed on the hull structure 10 by the magnetic limiting block 4, so that the outer side edge of the second limiting block 42 on the second limiting claw 32 is flush with the other edge of the opening of the hull structure 10, and the connection line between the lower tips of the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 is parallel to the lower edge of the main scale bar 1. At this time, the planes where the right end face of the first positioning claw 51 and the left end face of the second positioning claw 52 are located are respectively the installation center lines 931 of the two hinge plate members 92 on the flap body 91 corresponding to the flap fixing member.

[0074] In a further preferred embodiment, when a level is further provided on the main scale bar 1, it is determined whether the main scale bar 1 is horizontal in the adsorbed state through the level to ensure the flatness during the subsequent installation of the flap body 91.

[0075] S4. Use the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52 to position and install the fixed support backing plate 94 and the flap fixing member 93 at the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0076] S4-1. Press the upper ends of the support backing plate 94 against the right side of the first positioning claw 51 and the left side of the second positioning claw 52 respectively. At this time, the support backing plate 94 is naturally perpendicular to the hull structure 10, and then the front end of the support backing plate 94 is fixedly connected to the hull structure 10.

[0077] S4-2. At the same time, fix the flap fixing member 93 on the hull structure 10 so that the center of the flap fixing member 93 is respectively aligned with the lower tips of the first positioning claw 51 and the second positioning claw 52.

[0078] When the fixed jaw distance caliper of the present application is magnetically adsorbed on the hull structure 10, there is no need for a special person to hold the fixed jaw distance caliper, and the surveyor can position and weld the support backing plate 94 and the flap fixing member 93 of the flap member 9 respectively at the positions specified by the corresponding positioning claws 5 on the hull structure 10.

[0079] S5. Use the limiting block 4 to position and install the flap body 91 at the opening of the hull structure 10.

[0080] S5-1. Place the flap body 91 between the two limiting blocks 4 on both sides of the fixed jaw distance caliper. At the same time, make the rear edge of the flap body 91 flush with the front edge of the main scale bar 1, and make the lower end face of the flap body 91 fit with the upper end face of the auxiliary claw group.
