Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides an auxiliary device for the shipbuilding industry, mainly used for the installation of large composite materials. Specifically, it is a platform for installing large composite material structures with ship hull steel structures. Background Technology

[0002] Composite materials are multiphase solid materials composed of two or more substances with different physical and chemical properties. Although the components of a composite material retain their relative independence, the performance of the composite material is not simply the sum of the properties of its components, but rather exhibits performance far superior to that of either component alone. Typically, a composite material contains one continuous phase, called the matrix, which binds, fixes, and maintains the reinforcing material in a specific shape; and another dispersed phase, called the reinforcing phase or reinforcement. The reinforcing material does not constitute the continuous phase in the composite material; it provides strength and stiffness under the support of the matrix. The dispersed phase is distributed independently throughout the continuous phase and can be reinforcing fibers or dispersed particulate materials.

[0003] Composite materials, with their high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and fatigue resistance, are highly valued in the shipbuilding industry, especially in the manufacture of high-quality hull structures. Compared with traditional metal structural materials, composite materials have a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Using composite materials to construct hulls and structures results in lighter weight and better performance in terms of fuel consumption and increased speed. Furthermore, composite materials also possess advantages such as corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and good plasticity. Therefore, composite materials play a vital role in the shipbuilding industry. For example, to reduce sonar wave reflection and enhance sound transmission, composite materials are often chosen for the outer surface structure of hull structures.

[0004] Currently, composite material joining generally involves five main methods: mechanical joining, adhesive joining, hybrid joining, stitching joining, and Z-Pin joining. However, regardless of the method, for large composite materials, scaffolding or platforms must be erected, or manual lifting must be used to lift, support, and fix the large composite materials to maintain their relative position with the installation area for subsequent installation. This process is prone to displacement and cannot effectively utilize lifting equipment for positioning. Furthermore, due to the inherent characteristics of composite materials, welding of lifting points is not possible. Therefore, the connection method between composite materials and the steel hull becomes a crucial research issue, primarily involving the installation of large composite material structures with steel frames and with the main hull. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the present invention provides an installation platform for large composite material structures and ship hull steel structures to solve the technical problems of hoisting and position adjustment when connecting large composite material structures and ship hull steel structures.

[0006] The solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is:

[0007] A large composite material structure hoisting platform includes a platform body, which mainly consists of a hoisting platform and lifting lugs fixed on the hoisting platform.

[0008] The hoisting platform is a box-shaped structure with openings on both sides. The openings serve as the entrance and exit for loading and unloading large composite material structures, while the enclosed portion forms a cavity to accommodate the large composite material structures and adjustment mechanisms.

[0009] The adjustment mechanism includes a sliding rail, a hydraulic clamping rod, a clamping panel, and a side damping plate.

[0010] And hydraulic push rod, push plate and push plate damping;

[0011] And swivel wheels.

[0012] The hoisting platform base plate is equipped with several casters, which, together with the adjustment mechanism, adjust the relative spatial position of the large composite material structure.

[0013] The inner two sides of the hoisting platform are symmetrically provided with side damping plates, sliding rails, hydraulic clamping rods, and clamping panels. The side damping plates are attached to the inner wall of the hoisting platform. A sliding rail is installed on the side of the side damping plates that does not contact the hoisting platform. A hydraulic clamping rod is slidably installed on the sliding rail. A clamping panel that can be adjusted at multiple angles is installed on the hydraulic clamping rod.

[0014] A hydraulic push rod is fixed on the side enclosure plate of the hoisting platform. A push panel is installed on the hydraulic push rod. A push panel damper is fixed on the side of the push panel that contacts the large composite material structure.

[0015] The positive effects are as follows: This utility model utilizes a lifting platform with an adjustment mechanism to clamp and lift large composite material structures, solving the technical problem that large composite material structures themselves cannot be equipped with lifting points for lifting. Simultaneously, the adjustment mechanism allows for adaptation to large composite material structures of different sizes, eliminating the need for repeated fabrication of lifting platforms and saving manpower and resources. Furthermore, the hydraulic push rod and hydraulic clamping rod provide operational space for connecting large composite material structures to ship hull steel structures, eliminating the need for repeated lifting and debugging of the lifting platform, thus broadening its applicability. The use of clamping and push plates for damping when lifting large composite material structures also eliminates the need for separate surface protection, saving materials and reducing the time spent protecting the workpiece, indirectly improving the efficiency of connection operations. Therefore, this invention is suitable for use as a lifting platform for large composite material structures. Attached Figure Description

[0024] See Figures 1 to 3 A large composite material structure hoisting platform includes a platform body, which is mainly composed of a hoisting platform 3 and lifting lugs 9 fixed on the hoisting platform 3.

[0025] The hoisting platform 3 is a box-shaped structure with openings on both sides. The openings serve as the entrance and exit for loading and unloading large composite material structures, while the enclosed portion forms a cavity to accommodate the large composite material structures and adjustment mechanisms.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism includes a sliding rail 10, a hydraulic clamping rod 2, a clamping panel 4, and a side damping plate 5.

[0027] And hydraulic push rod 6, push panel 7 and push panel damper 8;

[0028] And swivel wheels 1.

[0029] The bottom plate of the hoisting platform 3 is equipped with several casters 1. The casters 1 are movable casters fixed to the bottom plate of the hoisting platform 3, or bullseye wheels embedded in the bottom plate of the hoisting platform 3, which facilitates the adjustment of the relative spatial position of the large composite material structure in conjunction with the adjustment mechanism. The casters 1 are preferably made of rubber with anti-slip patterns, which can increase friction while adjusting the position and prevent the large composite material structure from sliding off or falling off the hoisting platform 3.

[0030] The inner two side walls of the hoisting platform 3 are symmetrically provided with side damping plates 5, sliding rails 10, hydraulic clamping rods 2, and clamping panels 4. The side damping plates 5 are attached to the inner wall of the hoisting platform 3. The sliding rails 10 are installed on the side of the side damping plates 5 that do not contact the hoisting platform. The hydraulic clamping rods 2 are slidably installed on the sliding rails 10. The clamping panels 4, which can be adjusted at multiple angles, are installed on the hydraulic clamping rods 2. The clamping panels 4 can adjust the clamping angle according to the external shape of the large composite material structure. It is suitable for large composite material structures of different shapes. In use, by adjusting the hydraulic clamping rods 2 and clamping panels 4, a lateral clamping force is provided to the large composite material structure to clamp and fix the large composite material structure.

[0031] The side damping plate 5 is located between the sliding rail 10 and the inner wall of the hoisting platform 3. When the hydraulic clamping rod 2 clamps, the side damping plate 5 can provide a certain buffer space to avoid damage to the large composite material structure that may be caused by excessive clamping force.

[0032] See the attached instruction manual. Figure 2 A hydraulic push rod 6 is fixed on the side enclosure plate of the hoisting platform 3. A push panel 7 is installed on the hydraulic push rod 6. A push panel damper 8 is fixed on the side of the push panel 7 that contacts the large composite material structure.

[0033] The scaling of the hydraulic clamping rod 2 and the hydraulic push rod 6 can be adapted to large composite material structures of different sizes, making the application range of this utility model wider and its adaptability stronger, and avoiding the need to repeatedly manufacture hoisting platforms for installing large composite material structures of different sizes.

[0034] Furthermore, a lateral damping plate may also be provided between the hydraulic push rod 6 and the hoisting platform 3.

[0035] To increase friction and prevent large composite material structures from falling off or to increase clamping force, the working surface of the clamping panel 4 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad. On the one hand, it provides friction, and on the other hand, it can form a certain elastic buffer to avoid large composite material structures falling off or causing surface rigidity damage. Similarly, the push panel damping 8 and the side damping plate 5 are preferably made of rubber. On the one hand, they provide friction, and on the other hand, they can provide a certain elastic buffer to avoid large composite material structures falling off or causing surface rigidity damage.

[0036] As can be imagined, the lifting lugs 4 can be four located at the four corners of the lifting platform 3, or six located at the four corners of the lifting platform 3 and between the two long sides, or located on the side wall of the lifting platform 3, or any other location that can ensure mechanical balance and does not interfere with the connection and installation of the large composite material structure with the hull, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the installation posture of the lifting platform 3 by using the lifting lugs 9 to adapt to the installation of different parts.

[0037] Work process:

[0038] Adjust the hydraulic push rod 6 or hydraulic clamping rod 2 to keep it in a loose state. Then, slowly slide the large composite material structure into the hoisting platform 3 from the opening side using the casters 1, so that one side of the large composite material structure is in contact with the push panel damping 8. Then, drive the hydraulic clamping rod 2 to drive the clamping panel 4 to clamp the large composite material structure laterally, so that it does not shake or shift within the hoisting platform 3. After hoisting to the work position, drive the hydraulic push rod 6 to drive the large composite material structure to the installation side. At this time, the clamping panel 4 holding the large composite material structure will slide along the sliding track 10, and the workers can connect the large composite material structure and the hull on the other side.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
