Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship transportation technology, specifically to an auxiliary tooling for ship ring-shaped segment transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Ship ring section transport auxiliary tooling refers to the tools and equipment used to assist in the movement, positioning, and hoisting of ring sections during ship construction and transportation. The design and use of this tooling aims to improve work efficiency, reduce labor intensity, and ensure the safety and quality of ship construction and transportation.

[0003] Because gantry cranes are used to lift ships during segmented transport in a circular pattern, enabling them to move to designated locations, and because ships can only move in one direction after being lifted, turning the lifted ship requires multiple workers to lower steel cables from above the designated location and rotate them to change the ship's direction. However, due to the weight of the steel cables, workers must hold onto them until the ship is lowered before releasing them, making the adjustment time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus affecting overall transport efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes an auxiliary tooling for transporting ship ring sections, which solves the problem in the prior art that after the crane lifts the ship, workers need to rotate the ship. Because the steel cable is heavy, it is time-consuming and laborious for workers to rotate the steel cable.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A ship ring section transport auxiliary tooling includes a base, a support frame disposed above the base, and further includes:

[0007] A crane used for lifting and transporting ships;

[0008] A gear, which is mounted at the bottom of the support frame via a drive mechanism, is used to drive the crane to rotate via the drive mechanism;

[0009] A limiting mechanism is provided on the gear, and the limiting mechanism is used to limit the rotation range of the crane.

[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes:

[0011] A drive slot is formed at the bottom of the support frame;

[0012] A hydraulic cylinder, which is installed in the drive slot;

[0013] A push rod, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder;

[0014] A rack, which slides on the inner wall of the drive groove, and the other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to the rack, and the gear meshes with the rack;

[0015] A connecting component is disposed on the gear.

[0016] Preferably, the connection component includes:

[0017] A connecting rod, which is fixedly connected to one end of the gear;

[0018] A fixing rod is fixedly connected to both ends of the inner top wall of the support frame.

[0019] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes:

[0020] A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the two fixing rods;

[0021] A limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the fixing plate;

[0022] A slide rail, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod;

[0023] The top of the slide rail is fixedly connected to two limiting columns, and both limiting columns are slidably engaged in the limiting groove. The crane is installed on the slide rail.

[0024] Preferably, the crane is equipped with a fixing component, the fixing component comprising:

[0025] Support plate one, which is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the crane;

[0026] Second support plate, which is detachably connected to first support plate;

[0027] A locking bolt is threaded onto the first support plate and the second support plate.

[0028] Furthermore, a swivel is provided in the middle of the fixing plate, through which the connecting rod extends outward.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] In this invention, when using auxiliary tooling to transport a ship in a circular, segmented manner, the base and support frame must first be moved above the ship to be moved. Then, the crane lifts the ship to be transferred and moves it to the desired location. The drive mechanism is then activated, and the drive gear rotates the crane within the limiting mechanism. Once rotated to the designated direction, the drive mechanism is deactivated, and the crane is activated to place the lifted ship there. Compared to existing technologies, where workers are required to rotate the ship after it is lifted, the improved device uses a drive mechanism to rotate the ship during the lifting process, ensuring the ship is rotated to the designated direction immediately. The ship can then be placed directly by the crane, saving labor and transportation time. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an auxiliary tooling for transporting ship annular sections, including a base 1, a support frame 2 above the base 1, a crane 3, a gear 4, and a limiting mechanism. The crane 3 is used to lift the ship. The gear 4 is set at the bottom of the support frame 2 through a drive mechanism. The gear 4 is used to drive the crane 3 to rotate through the drive mechanism. The limiting mechanism is set on the gear 4 and is used to limit the rotation range of the crane 3.

[0040] When using auxiliary tooling to transport a ship in a circular section, the worker first needs to move the base 1 and support frame 2 above the ship to be transported. Then, the fixing components are opened. The crane 3 is equipped with fixing components, which include support plate 15, support plate 2 16, and locking bolt 17. Support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the crane 3. Support plate 2 16 is detachably connected to support plate 15. Locking bolt 17 is threadedly connected to support plate 15 and support plate 2 16. Unscrew the locking bolt 17 and open support plate 2 16. After the crane 3 lifts the ship, do not raise it immediately. First, install support plate 2 16 on support plate 15, and then use locking bolt 17 to fix support plate 15 and support plate 2 16 together. At this time, there is a gap between support plate 15 and support plate 2 16, which can fix the steel cable on the crane 3 between support plate 15 and support plate 2 16, restricting the range of motion of the steel cable.

[0041] Once support plate 15 and support plate 2 are installed, crane 3 can be started to move the ship for transportation. After transportation to the designated location, the drive mechanism can be started to drive gear 4 to rotate crane 3. The drive mechanism includes drive groove 5, hydraulic cylinder 6, push rod 7, rack 8 and connecting assembly. Drive groove 5 is located at the bottom of support frame 2. Hydraulic cylinder 6 is installed in drive groove 5. Push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of hydraulic cylinder 6. Rack 8 is slidably engaged on the inner wall of drive groove 5, and the other end of push rod 7 is fixedly connected to rack 8. Gear 4 meshes with rack 8. Connecting assembly is set on gear 4. When hydraulic cylinder 6 is started, push rod 7 is driven by hydraulic cylinder 6 to push rack 8. Gear 4, which meshes with rack 8, will start to rotate. At this time, connecting assembly will also rotate.

[0042] The connecting assembly includes a connecting rod 9 and a fixing rod 10. The connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the gear 4, and the fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to both ends of the inner top wall of the support frame 2. Through the fixed connection between the connecting rod 9 and the gear 4, the connecting rod 9 can be rotated.

[0043] Subsequently, the connecting rod 9 will drive the crane 3 to rotate within the limiting mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a fixed plate 11, a limiting groove 12, a slide rail 13, and limiting posts 14. The fixed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the other ends of the two fixed rods 10. The limiting groove 12 is opened at the bottom of the fixed plate 11. The slide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 9. Two limiting posts 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the slide rail 13, and both limiting posts 14 are slidably fitted within the limiting groove 12. The crane 3 is mounted on the slide rail 13. A turning opening 18 is opened in the middle of the fixed plate 11. The connecting rod 9 extends outward through the pivot 18, and the fixing plate 11 is fixed on the support frame 2. Only the gear 4 drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate within the pivot 18. When the connecting rod 9 drives the slide rail 13 to rotate, the limiting post 14 on the slide rail 13 will rotate within the limiting groove 12. Since the ship is heavy, it can rotate within the limiting groove 12 when the ship is being rotated, preventing the ship from swaying randomly. At this time, the ship can be rotated to the designated direction, and the crane 3 can be used to place the lifted ship here.

[0044] Working Principle: When using auxiliary tooling for circular section transport of a ship, the worker first needs to move the base 1 and support frame 2 above the ship to be transported. The worker then unscrews the locking bolt 17 and removes the second support plate 16. Next, the crane 3 is activated to lift the ship, but not yet raised. The worker then installs the second support plate 16 onto the first support plate 15 and re-screws the unscrewed locking bolt 17 onto the first support plate 15 and the second support plate 16. The steel cable on the crane 3 is then secured between the first support plate 15 and the second support plate 16. At this point, the crane 3 can lift and move the ship. After moving to the designated position, the hydraulic cylinder 6 is activated, which drives the push rod 7 to push the rack 8. The gear 4, which meshes with the rack 8, will drive the connecting rod 9 to rotate within the rotating opening 18. During the rotation, the limiting post 14 on the slide rail 13 can rotate within the limiting groove 12, thus restricting the crane 3 on the slide rail 13 to rotate within the limiting groove 12 and preventing the ship lifted by the crane 3 from swaying randomly. Once the lifted ship has rotated to the appropriate position, the crane 3 can be lowered and placed in the designated location. The next ship to be transported can be lifted and transported in the same way.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
