Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ships, and particularly relates to a device for simulating ship shaft alignment teaching. Background Art

[0002] During the shipbuilding process, the main engine shaft system needs to be installed and aligned. The quality of the shaft system installation and alignment is directly related to the reliability of the main engine propulsion system and the safety of the ship's navigation. The installation and alignment of the shaft system are based on the theoretical center line of the shaft system.

[0003] Shaft alignment is to install the shaft system into a certain state according to certain requirements and methods, in which the stress in each shaft section of the shaft system and the load on all bearings are within the allowable range or have reasonable values, so that the shaft system can operate reliably. The essence of shaft alignment is to accurately determine the position of the main engine bearing. Whether the ship's shaft system can operate reliably depends not only on the structural design, material and manufacturing of the shaft system, but more importantly on the quality of the shaft system installation. Poor quality of shaft alignment installation will cause bearing heating, excessive wear of the tail bearing, damage to the sealing device and shaft system vibration. Therefore, shaft alignment is to arrange the shaft system into a certain axis state according to certain principles and methods, so that the load on each bearing, the stress, bending moment, and rotation angle in each shaft section are as close to the allowable value as possible or obtain reasonable values, so as to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the shaft system. At present, after the main engine shaft system of the ship is aligned and installed, it will be measured and accepted. However, during the acceptance process, it is inconvenient to measure the alignment data of the ship's main engine shaft system on site. When the supervisor has questions, it is impossible to explain clearly on site. If the ship's main engine shaft system is aligned and reinstalled to obtain the alignment installation data, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, which will increase the production cost of the ship and is not conducive to enterprise production and improving economic benefits.

[0047] Example 6

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 5 is that the dial indicator stand is U-shaped; the left end of the dial indicator stand is connected to the second flange, the middle part is located on the outside of the first flange, and the right end is located on the right side of the first flange; dial indicators are respectively installed in the middle and right end of the dial indicator stand, the measuring head of the dial indicator installed in the middle of the dial indicator stand rests on the circumferential edge of the first flange, and the measuring head of the dial indicator installed on the right side of the dial indicator stand rests on the side of the first flange.

[0050] The middle and side of the dial indicator stand can be equipped with dial indicators to monitor the outer circle and the plane at the same time. For some bearings with larger movement, two dial indicator stands can be symmetrically installed on the second flange, and dial indicators can be installed in the middle and side of the dial indicator stand at the same time. This can balance the left and right ends of the second flange in the horizontal direction and will not rotate due to gravity, making it convenient for staff to take measurements and readings.

[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0052] In summary, the utility model simulates the alignment of the ship shaft system by setting the first flange and the second flange, and measures the offset by setting the dial indicator, so as to realize the preview of the ship shaft system alignment with various data changes on site, and obtain various simulated alignment data as auxiliary proof data of the ship shaft system alignment.
