Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, and more specifically to a transfer container for yacht interior structural components and a method for assembling the component. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, after demolding, fiberglass ceiling liners are placed directly on a plywood support plate on a flatbed truck and then transported to a demolding and cutting room for cutting before entering the assembly stage. During assembly, a horizontal baseline must first be marked on the deck before the ceiling lining product is bonded and fixed to the deck according to the predetermined dimensions.

[0003] However, because the support plates used are made of 18mm thick plywood, their actual contact area with the product is limited, and the boards themselves are prone to deformation over time, requiring frequent replacement. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively suppress structural deformation of the fiberglass products during transfer and storage, and this can even lead to cracking. This operating method results in dimensional deviations in the products before they enter the assembly stage. Combined with the effects of processes such as adhesive curing, this ultimately leads to inconsistent installation data and positioning of the ceiling linings on each ship, severely hindering the smooth progress of subsequent processes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the first objective of this invention is to provide a transfer container for yacht interior structural components. This invention relates to a transfer container that integrates demolding, placement, and assembly; this transfer container not only features contour supports with shapes identical to the structural features of the product, but also has a calibration and positioning function, preventing deformation and cracking during transfer and solving the problem of difficult product installation and positioning.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a transfer container for yacht interior structural components, comprising a movable frame structure, wherein a template support is provided on the frame structure, the template support has a support portion that matches the concave and convex portions of a first workpiece, the frame structure has a first end face, and a positioning structure is provided between the first end face and a mold fixture for a second workpiece, wherein after the positioning structure completes positioning calibration, the first workpiece placed on the support portion can be precisely aligned with the second workpiece on the mold fixture.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the two sides of the frame structure have vertically arranged support frames, the top surface of the support frame is set as the first end face, and the support frame and the template bracket are both located in the upper space of the frame structure.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: a first half-structure is provided on the frame structure, and a second half-structure matching the shape of the first half-structure is provided on the mold tooling, and the first half-structure and the second half-structure cooperate to form the positioning structure.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the first half-body structure is provided on both sides of the frame structure.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: both sides of the mold tooling are provided with connecting parts, and the connecting parts are provided with the second half structure.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention: the supporting part is provided with a supporting top surface, the edge of the supporting top surface is formed with a plurality of supporting side surfaces extending downward, and the supporting top surface and supporting side surfaces are also provided with a plurality of protrusions and grooves.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention: the frame structure is formed by multiple rods connected to each other to form a bearing plane; the template bracket includes multiple support tubes arranged on the bearing plane, and the tops of the multiple support tubes together define a contour shape that matches the concave and convex parts of the first workpiece.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the support part is formed by pressing multiple layers of chopped strand mat waste cloth, and its bonding side has a shape that matches the top contour of the multiple support tubes, and is fixed together with the top of the multiple support tubes to form the template bracket.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention: the frame structure has a second end face opposite to the first end face in the height direction, and a walking wheel is provided on the second end face.

[0014] Secondly, a second objective of the present invention is to provide an assembly method for yacht interior structural components, wherein the aforementioned transfer container is prefabricated as a dedicated carrier for yacht interior structural components, and the assembly method includes the following steps:

[0015] S1. After demolding the first workpiece, fix it on the support part of the mold bracket so that the concave and convex parts of the first workpiece can achieve a support fit with the protrusions and grooves of the support part.

[0016] S2. The transfer container and the first workpiece are transported to the demolding and cutting room for cutting using the wheels.

[0017] S3. After cutting, the transfer container and the first workpiece are transferred to the assembly waiting area. During the cutting and waiting process, the supporting parts form contour support for each structural feature of the first workpiece, effectively suppressing its deformation and cracking.

[0018] S4. Move the transfer container to the mold fixture of the second workpiece, rotate the transfer container and the first workpiece on it by 180°, align the first half structure and the second half structure and fix them to each other, thereby completing the positioning calibration of the first workpiece and the second workpiece on the mold fixture.

[0019] S5: Bond the first workpiece, which has been positioned and calibrated, to the second workpiece; at this point, the in-mold assembly of the second workpiece is complete.

[0020] The beneficial effects provided by this invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention eliminates the need for traditional, easily deformable plywood support plates, instead employing a fiberglass template bracket that matches the product's contours. This template provides conformal support to various structural features of the product, ensuring that the product remains undeformed or cracked throughout the entire process from demolding to installation. This robust and durable structure can be used for long-term indoor and outdoor applications, significantly reducing material and time costs associated with frequent support plate replacements.

[0022] During product installation, the transfer container and the product on it are flipped over. A positioning structure is used to calibrate the transfer container and the mold fixture, thereby calibrating the first workpiece and the second workpiece on the mold fixture. This method eliminates the traditional step of marking a horizontal line on the deck, directly and precisely aligning and bonding the first workpiece with the second workpiece on the mold, thus eliminating dimensional inconsistencies caused by cumulative errors and adhesive curing shrinkage at the source of the process.

[0023] By using this transfer container, a shift from "relying on worker experience" to "relying on tooling assurance" has been achieved. It ensures that the ceiling lining installation data is consistent and the position is uniform for each yacht, greatly reducing the difficulty of subsequent processes, improving overall assembly efficiency and the reliability and consistency of product quality, and facilitating mass production.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with specific examples. However, it should be understood that the accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. For better illustration of this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings for those skilled in the art. The positional relationships described in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a transfer container for yacht interior structural components includes a movable frame structure 1. A template support is provided on the frame structure 1. The template support has a support portion 3 that matches the concave and convex parts of a first workpiece 2. The frame structure 1 has a first end face 4. A positioning structure is provided between the first end face 4 and the mold fixture 17 of the second workpiece 5. After the positioning structure completes the positioning calibration, the first workpiece 2 placed on the support portion 3 can be precisely aligned with the second workpiece 5 on the mold fixture 17.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first workpiece 2 is a fiberglass ceiling lining product, and the second workpiece 5 is a fiberglass deck product. During assembly, the fiberglass deck product does not need to be removed from its mold. Precise alignment is achieved through the positioning structure between the transfer container 19 and the mold tooling 17, allowing the fiberglass ceiling lining product to be directly bonded to the fiberglass deck product. This method not only eliminates the traditional step of marking a horizontal line on the deck but also effectively avoids the problem of inconsistent installation dimensions caused by factors such as product size deviations and adhesive curing shrinkage, ensuring the consistency of interior decoration assembly on various ships and significantly improving the working conditions of subsequent processes.

[0037] The frame structure 1 has vertically arranged support frames 6 on both sides. The top surface of the support frame 6 is set as the first end face 4, and both the support frame 6 and the template bracket are located in the upper space of the frame structure 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the positioning structure includes a first half-structure 7 and a second half-structure 8 respectively disposed on the first end face 4 and the mold tooling 17: the first half-structure 7 is a positioning male pin, and the second half-structure 8 is a matching positioning female hole. By inserting the positioning male pin into the positioning female hole, rapid positioning and calibration between the transfer container 19 and the mold tooling 17 are achieved.

[0042] The support part 3 is provided with a support top surface 10, and the edge of the support top surface 10 is formed with a plurality of downwardly extending support side surfaces 11. The support top surface 10 and the support side surfaces 11 are also provided with a plurality of protrusions 12 and grooves 13.

[0043] After the first workpiece 2 is demolded and transferred to the template bracket, it is pre-fixed to the support part 3 with bolts. After the first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 5 are bonded and finally cured, the bolt connection is released, so that the first workpiece 2 is separated from the template bracket, and finally the bonded first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 5 are removed from the mold as a whole.

[0044] The frame structure 1 is formed by multiple rods 14 connected to each other to form a bearing plane; the template bracket includes multiple support tubes 15 arranged on the bearing plane, the support tubes 15 are welded and fixed to the frame structure 1, and the tops of the multiple support tubes 15 together define a contour shape that matches the concave and convex parts of the first workpiece 2.

[0045] The support part 3 is formed by pressing multiple layers of chopped strand mat waste cloth. Its side has a shape that matches the top contour of the multiple support tubes 15, and is fixed to the top of the multiple support tubes 15 to form the template bracket.

[0046] The frame structure 1 has a second end face 18 opposite to the first end face 4 in the height direction. A walking wheel 16 is provided on the second end face 18. In this embodiment, the walking wheel 16 is a 6-inch universal iron wheel.

[0047] The present invention also provides an assembly method for yacht interior structural components, wherein the aforementioned transfer container 19 is prefabricated as a dedicated carrier for yacht interior structural components, and the assembly method includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. After demolding the first workpiece 2, fix it on the support part 3 of the template bracket so that the concave and convex parts of the first workpiece 2 can achieve a support fit with the protrusion 12 and groove 13 of the support part 3.

[0049] S2. The transfer container 19 and the first workpiece 2 are transferred to the demolding and cutting room for cutting by the walking wheels 16;

[0050] S3. After cutting, the transfer container 19 and the first workpiece 2 are transferred to the assembly waiting area. During the cutting and waiting process, the support part 3 forms a contour support for each structural feature part of the first workpiece 2, effectively suppressing its deformation and cracking.

[0051] S4. Move the transfer container 19 to the mold fixture 17 of the second workpiece 5, rotate the transfer container 19 and the first workpiece 2 on it by 180°, align the first half structure 7 and the second half structure 8 and fix them to each other, thereby completing the positioning calibration of the first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 5 on the mold fixture 17.
