Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 4 shown: In this embodiment, the method for hoisting and flipping the frame of a small-bore low-speed marine diesel engine includes the following steps:

[0035] The catwalk bottom plate 1 is rectangular, and threaded holes for the catwalk bottom plate are reserved thereon, and the threaded holes for the catwalk bottom plate are symmetrically distributed; the lifting lug 2 includes a lifting lug bottom plate 20 that is threadedly connected with the catwalk bottom plate 1. At both ends of the upper surface of the lifting lug bottom plate 20, a first reinforcing rib 21 and a second reinforcing rib 22 are respectively fixedly connected; a lifting lug main board 23 is also fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lifting lug bottom plate 20, and both side surfaces of the lifting lug main board 23 are fixedly connected with the first reinforcing rib 21 and the second reinforcing rib 22; a lifting lug hole 24 for installing a lifting rope is provided on the lifting lug main board 23.

[0036] There are 8 platform bottom plates 1 arranged on one side of the frame, including the first platform bottom plate 11, the second platform bottom plate 12, the third platform bottom plate 13, the fourth platform bottom plate 14, the fifth platform bottom plate 15, the sixth platform bottom plate 16, the seventh platform bottom plate 17, and the eighth platform bottom plate 18; a total of 16 platform bottom plates 1 are arranged on both sides of the frame; the long sides of the first platform bottom plate 11, the second platform bottom plate 12, the third platform bottom plate 13, and the fourth platform bottom plate 14 are horizontally arranged; the first platform bottom plate 11 and the second platform bottom plate 12 are arranged at the upper part of one side of the frame, and the distances from their vertical centerlines to both sides of one side of the frame are 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 of the horizontal side length of one side of the frame. The third platform bottom plate 13 and the fourth platform bottom plate 14 are symmetrically arranged with the first platform bottom plate 11 and the second platform bottom plate 12 at the lower part of one side of the frame respectively; the long sides of the fifth platform bottom plate 15, the sixth platform bottom plate 16, the seventh platform bottom plate 17, and the eighth platform bottom plate 18 are vertically arranged; the fifth platform bottom plate 15 and the sixth platform bottom plate 16 are arranged below the first platform bottom plate 11 and the second platform bottom plate 12 respectively; the seventh platform bottom plate 17 and the eighth platform bottom plate 18 are symmetrically arranged with the fifth platform bottom plate 15 and the sixth platform bottom plate 16 respectively at the lower part of one side of the frame, above the third platform bottom plate 13 and the fourth platform bottom plate 14.

[0037] The lifting lugs 2 are made of high-strength alloy steel, and the bolt hole positions thereof match the reserved hole positions of the platform bottom plate 1.

[0038] The installation direction of the lifting lug 2 is realized by replacing the platform bottom plate 1 in different directions. When the long side of the lifting lug main board 23 is horizontally arranged, the lifting lug main board 23 is installed on the platform bottom plate 1 arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0039] The bolt connection adopts a combination of a locknut and a gasket to ensure the connection stability during the lifting process.

[0040] The surface of the platform bottom plate 1 is treated with rust prevention, and a high-temperature resistant protective layer is coated at the welding joint with the side plate of the frame.

[0041] After the lifting lug 2 is disassembled, the platform bottom plate 1 remains on the frame for the installation of other subsequent auxiliary components. The method of the present invention is applicable to the frame of a low-speed marine diesel engine with a cylinder diameter less than 200 mm.

[0042] The adjustment of the installation direction of the lifting lug 2 is realized by rotating the platform bottom plate 1 or replacing the platform bottom plate 1 with prefabricated hole positions at different angles.

[0043] In this embodiment, the method for lifting and flipping the frame of a small-bore low-speed marine diesel engine includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Weld the platform bottom plate 1.

[0045] According to the frame structure design drawing, determine the welding position of the platform bottom plate 1. Eight platform bottom plates 1 are evenly arranged on both sides of the frame, with a total of 16 on both sides to ensure symmetrical distribution.

[0046] The platform bottom plate 1 is welded to the designated position of the frame side plate by using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding. Before welding, the welding area needs to be cleaned to remove oil stains and oxide layers.

[0047] The surface of the platform bottom plate 1 is coated with epoxy anti-rust paint after sandblasting, and the welding parts are additionally coated with high-temperature resistant silicone sealant to prevent rust in the welding heat-affected zone.

[0048] Step 2: Install the lifting lug 2.

[0049] The lifting lug 2 is forged from high-strength alloy steel, and a lifting lug bolt hole matching the platform bottom plate 1 is provided at the bottom thereof.

[0050] Use high-strength hexagonal bolts: specification M20×50, pass through the ear holes and the reserved holes on the walkway bottom plate, and fasten with anti-loosening nuts and spring washers.

[0051] If vertical installation is required, fix the lifting lug 2 vertically on the platform base plate 1; if horizontal installation is required, select a platform base plate 1 with horizontal holes, or adjust the hole direction by rotating the base plate 1 and then install the lifting lug 2.

[0052] Step 3: Lifting and flipping operation

[0053] Before lifting, check the torque value of all bolt connections. The standard torque is 180N·m to ensure that there is no looseness.

[0054] Use a crane or gantry crane with a sling to hook the lifting lug 2 and complete the rack flip according to the process requirements. During the flipping process, the center of gravity of the rack must be monitored to avoid tilting.

[0055] Step 4: Disassembly and reuse

[0056] After the lifting is completed, use a pneumatic wrench to remove the bolts and take off the lifting lug 2.

[0057] The walkway bottom plate 1 is retained on the frame, and its surface is not damaged, and can be directly used for subsequent hoisting or other accessories, such as the installation of a sensor bracket.

[0058] Example Description

[0059] Take the low-speed marine diesel engine frame with a cylinder diameter of 180mm as an example:

[0060] 16 walkway bottom plates 1 are welded on both sides of the frame, 8 on one side, and the size of the walkway bottom plate 1 is 150mm×100mm×12mm, with a spacing of 500mm.

[0061] The lifting lug 2 is selected to adopt a horizontal installation mode to adapt to the lifting space in a narrow workshop. By replacing the platform floor plate 1 with horizontal openings, the direction adjustment can be quickly completed.

[0062] After lifting, the lifting lug 2 is disassembled, and the platform floor plate 1 is retained for subsequent installation and debugging of the temporary support, realizing multi-functional reuse.

[0063] In this embodiment, the installation efficiency of the lifting lug 2 is increased by 40%, and there is no need for welding and subsequent cutting processes.

[0064] The reuse rate of the lifting lug 2 and the platform floor plate 1 reaches 100%, and the material cost of each single rack is saved by about 1200 yuan.

[0065] The intact rate of the paint on the surface of the rack is increased from 60% of the traditional process to 98%, and the painting repair working hours are reduced by about 15 hours per unit.

[0066] The above embodiments in combination with the attached Figures 1 to 4 detail the operation details of each step and fully verify the feasibility and superiority of the present invention.

[0067] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
