Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of installation and positioning devices, in particular to a precise positioning and installation device for fixing ears of arc-shaped steel plates. Background Art

[0002] During operation, shield tunnels frequently experience structural deformation due to factors such as surrounding rock pressure, groundwater erosion, and external construction disturbances. A common method for addressing shield tunnel structural deformation is to reinforce the interior with a steel lining. Specifically, multiple curved steel plates conforming to the tunnel's contours are installed within the shield tunnel to form a reinforcing steel ring. As related technologies mature, intelligent robotic arms are being used in tunnel steel ring reinforcement to replace manual labor in grasping, transporting, and securing the plates.

[0003] Currently, conventional robotic arms primarily use electromagnets to pick up steel plates. However, these devices are prone to accidents when power is unstable, necessitating mechanical reinforcement. This is typically achieved by installing mounting ears on the steel plate and securing them with safety pins on the gripper. Traditional mounting methods make it difficult to secure the mounting ears to the curved steel plate. Furthermore, the mounted ears can tilt at varying angles, making them difficult to adapt to the robotic arm gripper. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the mounting accuracy of the mounting ears on the steel plate. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, a fastening bolt is inserted into the first connecting hole, and the fastening bolt is connected to the steel plate; a plurality of second connecting holes are provided on the connecting plate, and the inner wall of the second connecting hole is threadedly connected with a top screw, and the top screw abuts against the inner wall of the steel plate.

[0027] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6As shown, the precise positioning and installation device for the fixing ears of the arc-shaped steel plate of this embodiment includes a bracket 11 attached to the inner wall of the steel plate 14, a pair of first limit blocks 12 arranged on the same side of the bracket 11, a pair of positioning devices 20 respectively arranged at both ends of the bracket 11, and a pair of fixing ears 30 respectively connected to the pair of positioning devices 20; the fixing ears 30 include a connecting piece 31 attached to the inner wall of the steel plate 14, a plurality of first connecting holes opened on the connecting piece 31, a connecting plate 32 arranged on a side away from the steel plate 14 (perpendicular to the connecting piece 31), and a connecting hole opened on the connecting plate 32; the positioning device 20 includes a positioning plate 21 connected to the bracket 11, and a positioning shaft 22 arranged horizontally and connected to the positioning plate 21; the positioning shaft 22 is arranged through the connecting hole; a pair of first limit blocks 12 abut against the same side of the steel plate 14, one of the positioning plates 21 is provided with a second limit block 29, and the second limit block 29 abuts against one end of the steel plate 14. Specifically, when in use, the bracket 11 is first attached to the inner wall of the steel plate 14, and the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 29 are respectively abutted against the side edges of the steel plate 14, and the position of the bracket 11 is determined by the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 29. Then, the connecting piece 31 is attached to the steel plate 14 and moved to the positioning shaft 22, so that the positioning shaft 22 passes through the connecting hole on the connecting plate 32, and the connecting piece 31 or the connecting plate 32 abuts against the positioning plate 21, and the fixing ear 30 is fixed by the positioning shaft 22 and the positioning plate 21. Then, the connecting piece 31 can be fixed to the steel plate 14 with bolts, or the connecting piece 31 can be directly welded to the steel plate 14. The position of the fixing ear 30 fixed in this way is more precise, and even if a robotic arm is used for grasping, it can be efficiently and accurately automatically positioned.

[0028] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 23 is fixedly mounted on the positioning shaft 22, abutting the side of the connecting plate 32. A pin 24 is mounted on the side of the retaining ring 23 near the connecting plate 32. The connecting plate 32 is provided with a pin hole 33, into which the pin 24 is removably inserted. Specifically, by placing the connecting plate 32 against the retaining ring 23 and inserting the pin 24 into the pin hole 33, the fixing ear 30 can be better positioned.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sleeve 25 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 22, and a nut 26 is threadedly connected to the end of the positioning shaft 22. The sleeve 25 abuts against the side of the connecting plate 32 away from the retaining ring 23, and the nut 26 abuts against the side of the sleeve 25 away from the connecting plate 32. Specifically, by abutting the sleeve 25 against the connecting plate 32 and then tightening the sleeve 25 with the nut 26, the fixing ear 30 can be better prevented from shaking.

[0030] In this embodiment, a fastening bolt 35 is inserted into the first connecting hole, and the fastening bolt 35 is connected to the steel plate 14. The connecting piece 31 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes, and the inner walls of the second connecting holes are threadedly connected to the top screw 34, and the top screw 34 abuts the inner wall of the steel plate 14. Specifically, after the position of the fixing ear 30 is determined by the positioning shaft 22 and other structures, the top screw 34 is screwed so that the top screw 34 abuts the inner wall of the steel plate 14. The top screw 34 can support the fixing ear 30. In this way, the connecting piece 31 does not need to be completely attached to the steel plate 14, and a certain angle can be formed between the two. Then, the steel plate 14 can be drilled through the first connecting hole. After drilling, the connecting piece 31 and the steel plate 14 can be connected by the fastening bolt 35.

A second through hole 28 is formed on the side wall of the first through hole 27, and an adjustment bolt 210 is disposed in the second through hole 28. The adjustment bolt 210 is threadedly connected to the second stopper 29. Specifically, for steel plates 14 of uniform size, the second stopper 29 can be fixed to the connecting plate 32. However, for steel plates 14 of various sizes, the position of the second slider can be adjusted to accommodate the size. The second stopper 29 can be activated by loosening the adjustment bolt 210. After moving to a desired position, the second stopper 29 can be fixed by tightening the adjustment bolt 210.

[0032] In this embodiment, a pair of handles are further provided on one side of the bracket 11 away from the steel plate 14. Specifically, the handles are mainly for easy holding by human hands.

[0033] In summary, the precise positioning and installation device for the fixing ears of the curved steel plate of the present embodiment is as follows: when in use, the bracket 11 is first attached to the inner wall of the steel plate 14, and the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 29 are respectively abutted against the side edges of the steel plate 14, and the position of the bracket 11 is determined by the first limit block 12 and the second limit block 29. Then, the connecting piece 31 is attached to the steel plate 14 and moved to the positioning shaft 22, so that the positioning shaft 22 passes through the connecting hole on the connecting plate 32, and the connecting piece 31 or the connecting plate 32 abuts against the positioning plate 21, and the fixing ear 30 is fixed by the positioning shaft 22 and the positioning plate 21. Then, the connecting piece 31 can be fixed to the steel plate 14 with bolts, or the connecting piece 31 can be directly welded to the steel plate 14. The position of the fixing ear 30 fixed in this way is more precise, and even if a robotic arm is used for grasping, it can be efficiently and accurately automatically positioned.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations.
