Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship cabin manufacturing, and in particular to an auxiliary support device for manufacturing catamaran engine rooms. Background Technology

[0002] Catamarans have two parallel hulls, each with an engine room. This design provides the vessel with two completely independent propulsion systems and equipment spaces. The catamaran structure allows for two independent engine rooms, ensuring precise positioning of the entire vessel even if one engine room is completely out of control. This significantly improves the platform's safety and reliability in deep water. During manufacturing, the ultra-large hull structure requires extremely high precision in the connection and assembly of its various parts. The spacing between the two hulls, their parallelism, and the installation position of the connecting bridge all need to be precisely controlled; otherwise, the overall performance and stability of the vessel will be affected. However, existing devices cannot achieve precise positioning. Due to the massive size and uneven weight distribution of the hull structure, it is difficult to guarantee the hull's balance and stability during manufacturing, making it difficult to adjust its attitude and prone to excessive swaying or tilting, which affects the vessel's overall performance and stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology in terms of poor hull support performance and stability, the technical problem to be solved is to provide an auxiliary support device for the manufacturing of a catamaran engine room.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: an auxiliary support device for manufacturing a catamaran cabin, including a mounting base, which is longitudinal along the length direction of the catamaran cabin and transverse along the width direction. The mounting bases are distributed in a matrix of five rows longitudinally and two columns transversely. Each mounting base in the rightmost transverse column of the matrix is ​​fixedly connected to a support frame on its right side. The top of the mounting base is a cross-shaped opening. The mounting bases are connected to each other by a stabilizing frame. A support component is installed on the mounting base. The support component is used to realize three-dimensional adjustment of the cabin position.

[0005] In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a hydraulic rod a, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the interior of the mounting base. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod a is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate. Hydraulic rods b are fixedly connected to all four sides of the cross opening of the mounting base. An ejector block is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod b. The telescopic rod of each hydraulic rod b is connected to a corresponding side of the ejector block. A ball bearing is rotatably connected to the bottom of the ejector block, and the ball bearing contacts the top of the push plate.

[0006] In one embodiment, the system further includes hydraulic shock absorbers and pads, with hydraulic shock absorbers symmetrically mounted on the top of each mounting base, and pads fixedly connected to the top of each hydraulic shock absorber.

[0007] In one embodiment, a 3D laser scanner is also included, with each support frame holding a 3D laser scanner.

[0008] In one embodiment, a level detector is also included. The level detector is placed on the support frame. The level reference detected by the level detector is at the same level as the top of the mounting base. The level detector is electrically connected to the support assembly. The height of each hydraulic rod a is adjusted by a hydraulic system to ensure that the double-body plates are in a horizontal state.

[0009] In one embodiment, an auxiliary support rod is also included, which is installed between the stabilizers.

[0010] In one embodiment, an anti-corrosion plate is also included, with the top of the pad being fixedly connected to the anti-corrosion plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects are: 1. The vertical adjustment of the cabin structure is achieved by hydraulic rod a, and the horizontal adjustment of the cabin is achieved by hydraulic rod b, ensuring that the cabin structure reaches the precise position and state.

[0012] 2. The hydraulic shock absorber reduces the force generated in the engine room during placement. The pad conforms to the curved surface of the hull, avoiding the indentation or deformation of the thin-walled structure caused by traditional rigid supports, and providing a uniform distribution of support force.

[0013] 3. The horizontal reference measured by the leveling instrument is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the mounting base. The leveling instrument is electrically connected to the support assembly. The height of each hydraulic rod a is adjusted through the hydraulic system to ensure that the double-body plate is in a horizontal state. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: An auxiliary support device for manufacturing a catamaran cabin, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the system includes a mounting base 1, a support frame 101, a stabilizing frame 2, and a support assembly. The mounting bases are arranged longitudinally along the length of the twin-hull cabin and laterally along its width. The mounting bases 1 are distributed in a matrix of five rows longitudinally and two columns laterally. Each mounting base 1 in the rightmost column of the matrix is ​​fixedly connected to the support frame 101 on its right side. The top of each mounting base 1 has a cross-shaped opening. The mounting bases 1 are connected to each other via the stabilizing frame 2. A support assembly is mounted on each mounting base 1. This support assembly is used to achieve three-dimensional adjustment of the cabin position. The support assembly includes a hydraulic rod a3, a push plate 4, a hydraulic rod b5, an ejector block 6, and ball bearings 7. The bottom of the hydraulic rod a3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting base 1. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod a3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 4. Hydraulic rods b5 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the cross-shaped opening of the mounting base 1. The ejector blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the telescopic rods of the hydraulic rods b5, with each telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod b5 corresponding to one of the ejector blocks 6. The mounting base 1 is connected to one side of the support frame 1. The bottom of the ejector block 6 is rotatably connected to the ball bearing 7. The ball bearing 7 contacts the top of the push plate 4. The mounting base 1 also includes a hydraulic shock absorber 8 and a pad 9. The top of the mounting base 1 is symmetrically equipped with the hydraulic shock absorber 8. The top of the hydraulic shock absorber 8 is fixedly connected to the pad 9. The pad 9 is made of flexible material. The mounting base 10 also includes a three-dimensional laser scanner 10. The support frame 101 is equipped with the three-dimensional laser scanner 10. The mounting base 101 also includes a level detector 11. The support frame 101 is equipped with the level detector 11. The level reference detected by the level detector 11 is at the same level as the top of the mounting base 1. The level detector 11 is electrically connected to the support assembly. The height of each hydraulic rod a3 is adjusted by the hydraulic system to ensure that the double-body plate is in a horizontal state. The mounting base 101 also includes an auxiliary support rod 12. The auxiliary support rod 12 is installed between the stabilizers 2. The mounting base 101 also includes an anti-corrosion plate 13. The top of the pad 9 is fixedly connected to the anti-corrosion plate 13.

[0020] Using hoisting equipment, the oversized catamaran engine room structure is smoothly placed on the pad 9. The anti-corrosion plate 13 on top of the pad 9 prevents corrosion of the engine room structure. The pad 9 conforms to the curved surfaces of the hull, such as the outer plating of the bottom and the curved surfaces of the sides, avoiding the indentation or deformation of the thin-walled structure caused by traditional rigid supports, while providing a uniform distribution of support force. The hydraulic shock absorber 8 reduces the force generated during the placement of the engine room. After the initial buffering and stable placement of the engine room structure is completed, the hydraulic rod a3 inside the mounting base 1 is activated. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod a3 pushes the push plate 4 upward. The push plate 4 moves upward through contact with the bottom of the ejector block 6. The ball bearing 7 contacts the ejector block 6, causing it to move upwards until it contacts the bottom of the cabin structure, providing initial support. The detection data from the leveling instrument 11 is observed to determine if the cabin structure is level. If tilted, the hydraulic rod a3 is controlled to adjust the rising height of the push plate 4 at different positions, achieving initial horizontal adjustment of the cabin structure. Based on the offset direction and degree detected by the 3D laser scanner 10, the hydraulic rods b5 on all four sides of the cross opening of the mounting base 1 are simultaneously controlled according to pre-set adjustment rules, causing the ejector block 6 to... Moving a suitable distance in the corresponding direction, the cabin structure undergoes initial horizontal position adjustment. The 3D laser scanner 10 continuously scans the cabin structure, and based on the results, precisely controls the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod b5, allowing the ejector block 6 to make minute movements and adjustments in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The ball bearings 7 at its bottom ensure smoother horizontal movement of the ejector block 6. Multiple ejector blocks 6 work together to achieve comprehensive and high-precision attitude adjustment of the cabin structure, ensuring that the cabin structure reaches the precise position and attitude required by the design. During the attitude adjustment process, the level detector 11 continuously monitors the safety... The horizontal status of the top of the mounting 1 is monitored, and the detection data is fed back to the control system in real time. Once a deviation in levelness is detected, the control system immediately makes a fine adjustment to the hydraulic rod a3 to ensure that the cabin structure is always in a horizontal state. The three-dimensional laser scanner 10 continuously updates the position and attitude data of the cabin structure. If a change in the position or attitude of the cabin structure is detected, the control system adjusts the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod b5 in a timely manner according to the new data, and dynamically adjusts the cabin structure to form a closed-loop control. This ensures that the cabin structure maintains high-precision positioning and stable attitude throughout the entire manufacturing process, thereby providing a reliable guarantee for the subsequent precise processing of the cabin.
