[0002] The stern shaft is a critical component of a ship's propulsion system, and its machining accuracy has a vital impact on the ship's navigation performance and stability. During the machining process of the stern shaft, both its inner and outer walls require precision machining to meet design requirements. However, existing machining fixtures present several inconveniences when machining the inner and outer walls of the stern shaft. For example, machining the inner and outer walls often requires transferring the stern shaft from one fixture to another, which not only increases the complexity and labor intensity of the operation but also easily damages the stern shaft during the transfer process, affecting machining accuracy and product quality. Furthermore, the existing fixtures' methods of fixing the stern shaft are not flexible or stable enough to adapt to the machining needs of stern shafts of different specifications and sizes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of stern shaft inner-field machining fixture that can effectively solve the above problems and improve the machining efficiency and quality of the stern shaft.

[0027] This utility model proposes a stern shaft internal machining fixture 100.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3In one embodiment of this utility model, the stern shaft internal machining fixture 100 mainly includes a base 10, a support structure, and two support frames 20. Both support frames 20 and the support structure are mounted on the base 10, with the support structure located between the two support frames 20. Each support frame 20 has a horizontal column 24 for placing the stern shaft. A pushing member 25 is provided inside the horizontal column 24, and a pushing member 26 is provided at the output end of the pushing member 25. The pushing member 26 can extend out of the outer surface of the horizontal column 24 and abut against the inner wall of the stern shaft, thereby allowing machining of the outer wall of the stern shaft. The pushing member 26 can be made of rubber to increase friction with the stern shaft and improve stability. When the horizontal columns 24 on both sides are completely detached from the stern shaft, the stern shaft can fall onto the support structure, which fixes the stern shaft, thus allowing machining of the inner wall of the stern shaft.

[0029] Furthermore, the base 10 is provided with a sliding groove 11 corresponding to each support frame 20. The support frame 20 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 11. It is important to ensure that the support frame 20 slides smoothly in the sliding groove 11 without any jamming, so that the position of the support frame 20 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual processing requirements.

[0030] The support frame 20 is equipped with a lifting component 21, and the output end of the lifting component 21 is equipped with a lifting platform 22. A straight column 23 is provided on the lifting platform 22, and a horizontal column 24 is installed on the straight column 23. The height of the horizontal column 24 can be adjusted by the lifting component 21 to accommodate stern shafts of different diameters.

[0031] The bottom of the lifting platform 22 is provided with a number of limiting rods 28. The support frame 20 is provided with a mounting hole 27 corresponding to each limiting rod 28. The limiting rod 28 is movably installed in the mounting hole 27. There can be four limiting rods 28, which are located at the four corners of the lifting platform 22. The cooperation between the limiting rods 28 and the mounting hole 27 can enhance the stability of the lifting platform 22 during the lifting process.

[0032] The base 10 is provided with a driving member 13. The output end of the driving member 13 abuts against the support frame 20 so that the support frame 20 can move in the sliding groove 11, so as to conveniently and quickly adjust the position of the support frame 20.

[0033] It should be noted that the pushing component 25, the lifting component 21 and the driving component 13 can all be hydraulic cylinders, but are not limited to them. Their power can be selected according to the actual installation situation. Hydraulic cylinders are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The base 10 is also provided with a fixing groove 12, which is located on one side of the sliding groove 11 and faces the same direction as the sliding groove 11. Bolts and nuts can be used to fix and position the support frame 20 in conjunction with the fixing groove 12. When the support frame 20 is moved to a suitable position, the nuts can be tightened.

[0035] The base 10 is provided with a mounting platform 32, which is located between the support frames 20 on both sides, and the support structure is installed on the mounting platform 32.

[0036] The support structure includes two limiting members 30 and a fixing member 31. The mounting platform 32 has a receiving groove 33. The two limiting members 30 are installed in the receiving groove 33. The fixing member 31 passes through the side wall of the mounting platform 32 and is connected to the limiting members 30.

[0037] It is understood that the fixing member 31 can be a bolt, and the fixing member 31 can rotate on the mounting platform 32. The fixing member 31 and the limiting member 30 are connected by threads. When the fixing member 31 is tightened, the position of the limiting member 30 in the receiving groove 33 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limiting members 30, thus achieving the fixing of stern shafts of different sizes. It should be noted that the width of the receiving groove 33 should be greater than the sum of the widths of the two limiting members 30 to ensure that the limiting member 30 can move within the receiving groove 33.

[0038] Limiting grooves 34 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the receiving groove 33, and protrusions 35 are provided on both sides of the limiting member 30. The protrusions 35 are engaged in the limiting grooves 34, which can ensure that the limiting member 30 will not detach from the receiving groove 33 during movement.

[0039] When using:

[0040] Machining the outer wall of the stern shaft: Place the stern shaft to be machined on the horizontal columns 24 of the two side support frames 20. Adjust the position of the support frames 20 in the sliding groove 11 using the drive component 13 to position the stern shaft in a suitable machining position. Adjust the height of the horizontal columns 24 according to the diameter of the stern shaft using the lifting component 21 to keep the stern shaft horizontal. Activate the pushing component 25 inside the horizontal column 24 to extend the abutting component 26 out of the outer surface of the horizontal column 24 and abut against the inner wall of the stern shaft to fix it in place. Use machining equipment to machine the outer wall of the stern shaft. During the machining process, the position of the support frames 20 and the height of the horizontal columns 24 can be further fine-tuned as needed to ensure machining accuracy.

[0041] Machining the inner wall of the stern shaft: After the outer wall of the stern shaft is machined, close the pusher 25, causing the abutment 26 to retract into the cross column 24. At this time, the stern shaft abuts against the cross column 24. According to the diameter of the stern shaft, first adjust the fixing member 31 so that the two limiting members 30 can adjust the fixing member, so that the two limiting members of the support structure clamp the stern shaft. Then, start the lifting member 21 to lower the stern shaft onto the support structure. Then, start the drive member 13 to move the support frame 20 away from the mounting platform 32, so that the cross columns 24 on both sides are completely detached from the stern shaft. The two limiting members 30 of the support structure clamp the stern shaft and fix it. Use the machining equipment to machine the inner wall of the stern shaft. During the machining process, pay close attention to the fixed state of the stern shaft. If necessary, the position of the limiting member 30 can be readjusted to ensure the machining quality.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
