Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of marine engineering equipment technology, and in particular to a container guide rail mounting support device. Background Technology

[0002] Marine container rails play a crucial role in modern maritime transport, serving multiple functions: in addition to providing physical support to distribute container weight and reduce stress on the ship, the design and installation quality of the rails directly impacts the safe transport and efficient loading and unloading of cargo. High-quality rail systems ensure containers remain stable during voyages, preventing displacement or tipping due to wave impacts or weather changes, thus protecting cargo from damage.

[0003] With the growth of global trade and the development of the shipping industry, the demand for improving the speed and safety of container loading and unloading is increasing. To ensure the parallelism between guide rails and guarantee that each container can be stacked securely, reducing the risk of displacement due to turbulence during navigation, precise installation has become a crucial step in the guide rail assembly process. Traditional guide rail installation methods rely on manual adjustment and leveling, and their limitations are becoming increasingly apparent, such as low installation accuracy and high time and labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the limitations of traditional guide rail installation methods that rely on manual adjustment and leveling, this invention provides a container guide rail installation support device.

[0005] A container guide rail mounting support device includes a connecting frame, a sliding frame slidably connected to the connecting frame and symmetrically distributed sliding frames along the connecting frame, a rotating block rotatably connected to the sliding frame, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the rotating block, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the rotating block, a clamping frame rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the clamping frame slidably connected to the adjacent sliding frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a first fixed frame fixed to the sliding frame, a cam fixed to the rotating block, a slide rod slidably connected to the first fixed frame, the cam pressing against the adjacent slide rod through a convex surface, and friction wheels symmetrically distributed along the adjacent slide rods rotatably connected to one end of the first fixed frame near the connecting frame. The slide rod is used to push the friction wheels to rotate, so that the friction surface of the friction wheel rotates to frictionally engage with the connecting frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the contact surface between the slide bar and the adjacent cam is set as an arc surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the friction wheel is connected to the adjacent first fixed frame via a rotating shaft, and the eccentricity between the adjacent friction wheels is fixedly connected by an eccentric shaft. The slide rod has a movable groove on the side near the adjacent eccentric shaft, and the slide rod is movably connected to the adjacent eccentric shaft through the movable groove.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a torsion spring corresponding to the rotating shaft, the torsion spring being wound around the corresponding rotating shaft, and both ends of the torsion spring being fixedly connected to the adjacent friction wheel and the first fixed frame, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a second fixed frame fixed to the sliding frame, the sliding frame is rotatably connected to a rotating ring, the rotating block is fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating ring, the rotating ring has a cavity inside, the second fixed frame is fixedly connected to a suction cup, the suction cup has a cavity inside, a piston rod is slidably connected between the suction cup and the cavity of the adjacent rotating ring, the inner wall of the rotating ring and the outer wall of the piston rod are respectively provided with inner and outer threaded grooves, and the two are threadedly engaged through the threaded grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a bubble level fixed to the first fixed frame, which is used to level the connecting frame and the sliding frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting bracket is marked with scale values.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention only requires pushing and pulling to adjust the distance between the clamping devices on both sides, and then turning the handle to precisely control the parallelism between guide rails of any spacing when installing the guide rails. This method simplifies the leveling operation process, improves the installation accuracy and efficiency, reduces human error, and thus ensures the stability and safety of the container throughout the entire voyage.

[0015] This invention achieves mechanical interlocking between the connecting frame and the sliding frame by rotating the block to drive the cam, slide rod, eccentric shaft and friction wheel. During the installation of the guide rail, this interlocking mechanism can effectively prevent the sliding frame from being displaced relative to the connecting frame, ensuring the guide rail spacing and installation accuracy.

[0016] This invention simultaneously draws air from inside the suction cup during the parallelism adjustment process, thereby firmly adhering to the ship's wall under negative pressure. This design not only enhances the stability of the support device during installation but also avoids device misalignment caused by unevenness or vibration on the ship's surface, further optimizing the fixed support effect and improving the accuracy and safety of the guide rail installation.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1: A container guide rail mounting support device, such as Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a connecting frame 101, and a sliding frame 102 symmetrically distributed along the left and right sides of the connecting frame 101 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 101 in the horizontal direction. A rotating block 104 is rotatably connected to the side of the sliding frame 102 away from the connecting frame 101. A rotating rod 103 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rotating block 104. A connecting rod 105 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 104 via a crank. A clamping frame 106 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 105 away from the adjacent rotating block 104. The clamping frame 106 is slidably connected to the adjacent sliding frame 102. The clamping frame 106 cooperates with the adjacent sliding frame 102 to clamp the guide rail on the same side. A handle 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 103.

[0030] like Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a bubble level 401 fixed to the first fixed frame 201, which is used to level the connecting frame 101 and the sliding frame 102.

[0031] like Figure 10 As shown, the connecting bracket 101 is marked with the scale value 501.

[0032] When installing the guide rails of the container, first fix the first guide rail on the left side vertically to the ship's wall. Then, make the left clamping frame 106 of this support device cooperate with the left sliding frame 102 to clamp the first guide rail. Then rotate the left handle 107, which drives the rotating block 104 to rotate through the rotating rod 103. The rotating block 104 then drives the clamping frame 106 to move to the left to clamp the first guide rail through the connecting rod 105 on it. In this way, the device is vertically installed on the first guide rail.

[0033] Pull the right handle 107 to the right, causing the right sliding bracket 102 to slide to the right relative to the connecting bracket 101, and the connecting bracket 101 to slide to the right relative to the left sliding bracket 102. By using the two fixed-length sliding brackets 102 and the scale value 501 exposed by the connecting bracket 101, the distance between the two guide rails can be roughly estimated. After determining the distance, use the right clamping bracket 106 in conjunction with the right sliding bracket 102 to clamp the other guide rail, making the two guide rails parallel to each other. Then rotate the right handle 107 to move the right clamping bracket 106 to the right to clamp the guide rail, keeping the guide rail in a parallel state. Then fix the guide rail to the ship wall. In this way, the distance between the two guide rails can be determined and the two guide rails can be installed in parallel. After the installation is completed, rotate the handle 107 in the opposite direction to remove the support device from the guide rail.

[0034] Similarly, based on the first set of opposing guide rails, this support device can be used to install multiple sets of opposing parallel guide rails on the left or right side of the first set of guide rails by referring to the above installation method. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0035] In summary, this invention allows for precise control of the parallelism between guide rails at any spacing during installation by simply pushing and pulling to adjust the distance between the clamping devices on both sides and then rotating the handle 107. This method simplifies the leveling process, improves installation accuracy and efficiency, and reduces human error, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the container throughout the entire voyage.

[0036] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, it also includes a first fixed frame 201 fixed to the sliding frame 102, a cam 202 fixed to the rotating block 104, and a slide rod 203 slidably connected inside the first fixed frame 201 in the left-right direction. The cam 202 is pressed against the adjacent slide rod 203 through a convex surface. The contact surface between the slide rod 203 and the adjacent cam 202 is set as an arc surface. Inside the first fixed frame 201, near the connecting frame 101, a shaft 2041 is connected to a symmetrically distributed slide rod 203. Friction wheels 204 are fixedly connected by an eccentric shaft 2042 between adjacent friction wheels 204. A sliding rod 203 has a movable groove on the side near the adjacent eccentric shaft 2042. The sliding rod 203 is movably connected to the adjacent eccentric shaft 2042 through the movable groove. The friction surface 205 of the friction wheel 204 rotates to frictionally engage with the connecting frame 101. A torsion spring 206 is wound on the rotating shaft 2041, and the two ends of the torsion spring 206 are fixedly connected to the adjacent friction wheel 204 and the first fixed frame 201, respectively.

[0037] When the rotating block 104 rotates, it drives the cam 202 on it to rotate. The cam 202 presses the slide bar 203 along the first fixed frame 201 to push the eccentric shaft 2042. The eccentric shaft 2042 pushes the friction wheel 204 to rotate around the rotating shaft 2041. The torsion spring 206 deforms, so that the friction surface 205 of the friction wheel 204 rotates to contact the connecting frame 101, thus realizing the mechanical interlock between the connecting frame 101 and the sliding frame 102.

[0038] When the handle 107 is rotated in the opposite direction to remove the support device, the rotating block 104 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the cam 202 on it to reverse. The torsion spring 206 gradually resets, causing the friction wheel 204 to reverse around the rotating shaft 2041. The friction wheel 204 pushes the slide rod 203 to slide and reset in the opposite direction through the eccentric shaft 2042. The friction surface 205 of the friction wheel 204 rotates away from the connecting frame 101, so that the sliding frame 102 can slide and adjust relative to the connecting frame 101.

[0039] like Figures 8-9As shown, it also includes a second fixed frame 301 fixedly connected to the sliding frame 102. A rotating ring 302 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 102. A rotating block 104 is fixedly connected to the adjacent rotating ring 302. A cavity is opened inside the rotating ring 302. A suction cup 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixed frame 301. A cavity is opened inside the suction cup 303. A piston rod 304 is slidably connected between the suction cup 303 and the cavity of the adjacent rotating ring 302 in the vertical direction. The inner wall of the rotating ring 302 and the outer wall of the piston rod 304 are respectively provided with internal and external threaded grooves 305. The two are threadedly engaged through the threaded grooves 305.

[0040] The suction cup 303 contacts the ship wall near the guide rail. During the parallelism adjustment process, the rotating block 104 rotates, causing the rotating ring 302 to rotate. The rotating ring 302, through its internal thread groove 305, engages with the external thread groove 305 of the piston rod 304, causing the piston rod 304 to move upward relative to the suction cup 303, sucking up the air between the suction cup 303 and the ship wall. This allows the suction cup 303 to be firmly attached to the ship wall under negative pressure. Thus, during the installation of the right guide rail, the suction cup 303 is used to attach to the ship wall, further fixing the support device and optimizing the fixing and support effect.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
