Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of propeller auxiliary assembly, in particular to a vertical pre-assembly device for large ship propellers. Background Art

[0002] The propeller is an important part of the ship's propulsion system. Hydraulic keyless connections are widely used in large propellers. The principle of this connection is to use a high-pressure oil pump to pump high-pressure oil into the propeller shaft hole and the matching conical oil groove of the propeller to generate an expansion force, and then use the high-pressure oil to pump it into the hydraulic nut to generate an axial force to press the propeller tightly against the propeller shaft. Finally, the pressure is released and the nut is tightened. The propeller is firmly connected to the propeller shaft through an interference fit.

[0003] Large ship propellers have the characteristics of heavy weight and large rotation diameter. In order to install the propellers smoothly, large ship propellers must undergo scraping and pre-installation processes before installation.

[0004] The propeller pre-installation of large ships is divided into horizontal pre-installation and vertical pre-installation. Horizontal pre-installation means that the propeller stern shaft is fixed horizontally at a height above the ground that exceeds the rotation radius of the propeller, and then the propeller is lifted by a crane, flipped so that the propeller shaft hole is concentric with the propeller stern shaft, and then the crane moves toward the propeller stern shaft so that the conical surface of the propeller shaft hole fits tightly with the conical surface of the propeller stern shaft, and then another crane is used to lift the hydraulic nut to cooperate with it to complete the pre-installation. This type of pre-installation is high-altitude operation with a high risk factor, occupies a large space, has a high crane occupancy rate, and requires more adjustment time when cooperating with the propeller shaft. Vertical pre-installation means that the propeller is placed on a balance frame, the propeller stern shaft is lifted vertically by the crane, the propeller stern shaft is fine-tuned to align the propeller stern shaft position with the propeller shaft hole, and then slowly put into the propeller shaft hole, and then the hydraulic nut is lifted and screwed upward to complete the pre-installation. Compared with horizontal preinstallation, vertical preinstallation only requires the design of a vertical preinstallation device and a crane to vertically lift the propeller stern shaft to complete the preinstallation work. However, during the vertical preinstallation process, the propeller stern shaft and the hydraulic nut are difficult to be concentric, and more adjustment time is required. When the hydraulic nut is screwed, the contact surface of the thread will generate huge friction, which is prone to thread curling and jamming. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a vertical pre-installation device for large ship propellers, which can not only realize the rapid alignment of the propeller stern shaft and the hydraulic nut, but also realize smoothness during the screwing of the hydraulic nut to avoid the phenomenon of thread curling and jamming.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the guide block includes a neck embedded in the tray mechanism and a head formed by the upper end surface of the neck extending horizontally outward, and the outer wall diameter of the guide block head is the same as the inner wall diameter of the hydraulic nut.

[0008] As a preferred solution, a guide column is further provided between the guide tray and the fixed tray, one end of the guide column is fixed to the guide tray, and the other end of the guide column extends into the guide hole of the fixed tray and can move up and down in the fixed tray, and the spring is sleeved on the guide column.

[0009] As a preferred solution, a contour measuring ruler is further provided between the guide tray and the fixed tray, the upper end of the contour measuring ruler is fixed to the guide tray, the lower end of the contour measuring ruler extends into the measuring hole of the fixed tray and can move up and down in the fixed tray, and the contour measuring ruler is marked with scales.

[0015] (1) The utility model provides a large ship propeller vertical pre-installation device with a spring added to the tray mechanism. During the engagement process between the hydraulic nut and the propeller stern shaft, the spring is in a compressed state.

For different series of propellers, only the corresponding positioning flange needs to be replaced, and the applicability is strong. The device of the utility model is widely used in the pre-installation of large propeller stern shafts of large ship propellers such as the 3700TUE series and 3000TUE series. The maximum weight of the propeller reaches 45T, the maximum weight of the propeller stern shaft reaches 46T, and the maximum weight of the hydraulic nut reaches 1.6T.
