Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lifeboat repair, specifically to a lifeboat hull support fixture. Background Technology

[0002] During the existing lifeboat hull repair process, suitable tooling needs to be found to support the repair work according to different lifeboat models. During the lifting and lowering of the lifeboat hull, the necessary support tooling needs to be manually added at different locations to complete the repair. Because it needs to be compatible with different lifeboat models, the support tooling needs to be reassembled according to the lifeboat model, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the materials required for assembling the support tooling are heavy and difficult to move. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lifeboat hull support fixture that is adaptable to different types of lifeboats and improves work efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A lifeboat hull support fixture includes a frame, at least one keel support frame assembly, and at least two hull support frame assemblies. All hull support frame assemblies are located at both ends of the frame, and all keel support frame assemblies are located in the middle of the frame. Each keel support frame assembly and each hull support frame assembly is detachably provided with a gasket. The bottom of the frame is provided with multiple casters.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the keel support frame groups includes two keel support frames, which are symmetrically arranged on the frame from left to right; each of the shell support frame groups includes two shell support frames, which are symmetrically arranged on the frame from left to right.

[0007] Furthermore, the keel support frame includes a first support base and a first support beam, with both ends of the first support base connected to the frame via the first support beam; the first support base is placed horizontally on the first support beam, and the first support base is vertically connected to the first support beam; the gasket is detachably mounted on the first support base.

[0008] Furthermore, the housing support frame includes a second support base and a second support beam. The second support base is connected to the frame through the second support beam. The second support base is arc-shaped, and the second support beam is respectively disposed at both ends and the middle of the second support base. The second support beam is placed parallel to the first support beam, and the gasket is detachably disposed on the second support base.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the first support beams is provided with a lifting lug on its outer side.

[0010] Furthermore, there is a gap between the two keel support frames in the same group, and a gap between the two shell support frames in the same group, the gaps forming keel support grooves. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention can be applied to various types of lifeboat hulls. Because the gaskets are made of flexible material, they adapt to the shape of the lifeboat hull, eliminating the need for manually installing support fixtures, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The device symmetrically positions the keel support frame and the hull support frame on the frame, effectively supporting both sides of the lifeboat and preventing it from capsizing. The hull support frames are distributed at the front and rear ends of the frame, also effectively supporting the front and rear ends of the lifeboat and preventing the lifeboat from tipping forward or backward. Furthermore, casters are provided at the bottom of the frame for easy short-distance movement of the fixtures, and lifting lugs are provided on the first support beam for long-distance and height movement of the fixtures. This invention improves the efficiency of lifeboat repair work. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 A front view of a lifeboat hull support fixture.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a side view of a lifeboat hull support fixture.

[0014] Figure 3 This is a top view of a lifeboat hull support fixture. Detailed Implementation

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a lifeboat hull support fixture includes a frame 1, at least one keel support frame group, and at least two hull support frame groups. All hull support frame groups are located at both ends of the frame, and all keel support frame groups are located in the middle of the frame. Each keel support frame group and each hull support frame group is detachably equipped with a pad 4. The bottom of the frame 1 is equipped with multiple casters 5. Each keel support frame group includes two keel support frames 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1. Each hull support frame group includes two hull support frames 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1. A gantry crane will lift the lifeboat hull and then slowly place it onto the support fixture. The hull support frames 3 will support the front and rear ends of the lifeboat hull. The pads 4 on the hull support frames 3 will be appropriately replaced according to the different lifeboat models to ensure that the lifeboat hull has suitable points of support. The keel support frames 2 and hull support frames 3 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1 to prevent the lifeboat from capsizing.

[0016] The keel support frame 2 includes a first support base 21 and a first support beam 22. Both ends of the first support base 21 are connected to the frame 1 via the first support beam 22. The first support base 21 is placed horizontally on the first support beam 22, and the first support base 21 is perpendicularly connected to the first support beam 22. The gasket 4 is detachably mounted on the first support base 21. The keel of the lifeboat is approximately rectangular. The contact point between the first support base 21 and the lifeboat hull is located near the keel. The keel of the lifeboat will offset most of the stress, thereby protecting the lifeboat hull and extending its lifespan.

[0017] The shell support frame 3 includes a second support base 31 and a second support beam 32. The second support base 31 is connected to the frame 1 via the second support beam 32. The second support base 31 is arc-shaped to better fit the lifeboat hull. The second support beam 32 is respectively located at both ends and the middle of the second support base 31, increasing the support strength of the second support base 31. The second support beam 32 is placed parallel to the first support beam 22, and the gasket 4 is detachably mounted on the second support base 31.

[0018] Each of the first support beams 22 is provided with a lifting lug 6 on its outer side. The lifting lug 6 facilitates long-distance movement of the support fixture or allows the support fixture to cross obstacles. There is a gap between two keel support frames 2 in the same group and a gap between two shell support frames 3 in the same group. The gaps form keel resting grooves 7 in which the keel of the lifeboat is placed.

[0019] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
