Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing tooling for curved plate units, and in particular to a tooling for manufacturing curved plate units. Background Technology
[0002] Many existing bridges are assembled using steel box girder unit components. However, since many of these steel box girder unit components are irregular curved structures, the current manufacturing of curved bridge plate units involves directly welding pre-designed curved plates. This welding process is often carried out on flat ground or on specially designed curved structures. This method of welding easily leads to changes in the curvature of the curved plate unit and insufficient precision.
[0003] Chinese patent CN114603316B discloses a method for manufacturing an arc-shaped gate panel. The method involves preparing rolled steel plates, assembling a frame, laying the plates, welding, cutting, and filling gaps in the seams to create the arc-shaped gate panel. The steel plates are rolled longitudinally, in a step-by-step, evenly spaced, and uniformly pressed manner. A support row is used to connect the steel plates to the base plate, forming an arc-shaped jig that supports multiple rolled plates to form the panel. After welding the panel, it is dragged to create staggered seams, and then welded back to the arc-shaped jig to control deformation. This method mainly relies on the rolled plates and the arc-shaped jig for support and fixation. However, this structure is fixed and the arc cannot be changed; if the arc needs to be altered, a new device must be used. Therefore, a tooling for manufacturing arc-shaped panel units needs to be designed, allowing the tooling's curvature to be modified as needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tooling for manufacturing curved plate units, which solves the technical problem that existing bridge curved plate unit tooling cannot be reused and the curvature cannot be changed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A tooling for manufacturing an arc-shaped plate unit includes a telescopic support leg device and a base plate platform. The telescopic support leg device is disposed on the base plate platform, and the arc-shaped base plate of the arc-shaped plate unit is disposed on the telescopic support leg device. Several plate ribs of the arc-shaped plate unit are spaced apart at the upper end of the arc-shaped base plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the retractable support leg device includes several retractable support legs, with the retractable support legs in the same row having the same height, and the length of the retractable support legs increasing from both ends towards the middle.
[0008] Furthermore, the retractable support foot includes a column and a lead screw assembly. The lead screw assembly is located on the top of the column. The lead screw assembly includes a support disc, a lead screw, and a lead screw sleeve. The support disc is located on the top of the lead screw. The lead screw and the lead screw sleeve are connected by threads and are retractable.
[0009] Furthermore, a disc base is provided at the bottom of the supporting disc, and the disc base is connected to the top of the lead screw.
[0010] Furthermore, the retractable support foot also includes a fixed hollow low rod, with a screw sleeve fitted and fixed inside the upper end of the fixed hollow low rod, and the bottom of the fixed hollow low rod connected to the support base or to the I-beam.

[0013] This utility model is equipped with retractable support feet at the bottom. The height of each retractable support foot can be adjusted according to the required curvature, thereby achieving the corresponding curvature adjustment as needed. The support feet can be used simultaneously in the welding of all unit components, enabling the support feet to be reused and applied to different tooling. Attached Figure Description

The retractable support leg device is mounted on the base plate platform 9, and the arc-shaped base plate 2 of the arc-shaped plate unit is mounted on the retractable support leg device. Several plate ribs 1 of the arc-shaped plate unit are spaced apart at the upper end of the arc-shaped base plate 2. The base plate platform 9 mainly serves to horizontally and fix the entire structure.
[0020] In this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the retractable support leg device includes several retractable support legs 3. The retractable support legs 3 in the same row have the same height, and their length increases from both ends towards the middle.
