Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary support technology, and more specifically, relates to a ship auxiliary support device. Background Technology
[0002] In the structural design and actual operation of ships, key skeletal components such as beams and longitudinals play a crucial role in maintaining the ship's strength and stability. However, in the actual operating environment of a ship, these components face many complex and severe challenges. First, the marine environment is extremely harsh; ships are constantly subjected to the continuous effects of natural factors such as waves, currents, and wind, subjecting beams and longitudinals to repeated alternating loads. Second, during loading and unloading, uneven cargo distribution or excessive loads frequently occur, causing uneven load distribution on beams and longitudinals, with localized loads far exceeding design values. This can lead to deformation, bending, or even fracture of components, affecting the ship's normal operation and service life.
[0003] Currently, when providing auxiliary support for the skeletal components such as beams and longitudinals on ships, simple wooden wedges are usually used to support them within the abdominal cavity of the skeletal components. Although wooden wedges provide some support, their stability is poor and the support force is not adjustable, which increases the operational risk of the ship. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a ship auxiliary support device. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art: when using simple wooden wedges to provide auxiliary support for the skeletal components such as beams and longitudinals of ships, the stability is poor and the support force is not adjustable, which increases the operational risks of the ship.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a ship auxiliary support device for installation within the abdominal cavity of a ship's skeletal structure. The auxiliary support device includes:
[0006] Two support seats, which are disposed in the abdominal cavity and respectively connected to two sides of the skeletal member;
[0007] A pressure sensor is disposed in one of the brackets and is used to connect to one surface of the skeleton member;
[0008] The telescopic component has its two ends hinged to the two bracket seats respectively. The telescopic component and the pressure sensor are signal-connected to the ship's control unit. The pressure sensor can send a pressure signal to the control unit, and the control unit can control the telescopic length of the telescopic component according to the pressure signal.
[0009] Preferably, one side of one of the brackets is provided with a groove, the pressure sensor is disposed in the groove, and the sensing end of the pressure sensor is used to fit against one surface of the skeleton member.
[0010] Preferably, the ship auxiliary support device further includes a rubber pad, which is attached to one side of one of the support seats, and the rubber pad has an opening located at the recess of the groove.
[0011] Preferably, the bracket base has a cavity inside.
[0012] Preferably, the cavity is filled with damping silicone.
[0013] Preferably, the bracket is an alloy bracket.
[0014] Preferably, the support base is covered with an anti-corrosion coating.
[0015] Preferably, the bracket base is provided with a hinge hole, and a pin for connecting the telescopic component is inserted through the hinge hole.
[0016] Preferably, the support base is connected to the frame component by bolts.
[0017] Preferably, the telescopic component is a hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] This utility model provides a ship auxiliary support device, which has the following advantages: the two support seats of the auxiliary support device are respectively connected to two surfaces inside the skeleton component, and the two ends of the telescopic component are respectively hinged to the two support seats. This structural design can transmit the supporting force provided by the telescopic component when it extends to the two inner side walls of the skeleton component, forming a stable support structure. Compared with the traditional wooden wedge support, this auxiliary support device is more stable and can effectively prevent the wooden wedge from shaking or shifting due to unstable support.
[0019] The pressure sensor of the auxiliary support device is installed on one side of one of the support seats. The pressure sensor can monitor the pressure of the side wall of the skeleton component on the support seat in real time. The pressure can reflect the degree of deformation of the skeleton component. The monitoring results of the pressure sensor are transmitted to the control unit. The control unit can automatically adjust the extension length of the telescopic component according to the pressure data returned by the pressure sensor, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the support force. The larger the detection value of the pressure sensor, the greater the extension length of the telescopic component, and the greater the support force provided. This adjustment enables the auxiliary support device to automatically optimize the support force according to different load conditions and navigation conditions, ensuring that the skeleton component is always in a good support state, thereby effectively reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by insufficient support.
[0020] This auxiliary support device effectively solves the problems of poor stability and non-adjustable support force of traditional wooden wedge supports. It not only improves the stability and safety of the support, but also automatically adjusts the support force according to different working conditions, avoiding fatigue damage caused by local overload, extending the service life of components, improving the operating efficiency and safety of the ship.

[0027] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a ship auxiliary support device for installation within the abdominal cavity of the ship's skeletal component 2. The auxiliary support device includes:
[0029] Two support bases 1 are set inside the abdominal cavity and respectively connected to two sides of the skeleton component 2;
[0030] Pressure sensor 3 is mounted on one of the brackets 1 and is used to connect to one surface of the skeleton member 2;
[0031] The telescopic component 4 is hinged to two support seats 1 at both ends. The telescopic component 4 and the pressure sensor 3 are connected to the control unit of the ship. The pressure sensor 3 can send pressure signals to the control unit, and the control unit can control the telescopic length of the telescopic component 4 according to the pressure signals.
[0032] Specifically, to address the current problem that simple wooden wedges used for auxiliary support of ship components such as beams and longitudinals have poor stability and the support force is not adjustable, thus increasing the operational risk of the ship, the auxiliary support device provided by this utility model has two support seats 1 connected to two surfaces inside the frame component 2, and the two ends of the telescopic component 4 are hinged to the two support seats 1 respectively. This structural design can transfer the support force provided by the telescopic component 4 when it extends to the two inner side walls of the frame component 2, forming a stable support structure. Compared with traditional wooden wedge support, this auxiliary support device is more stable and can effectively prevent the wooden wedge from shaking or shifting due to unstable support.
[0033] The pressure sensor 3 of the auxiliary support device is installed on one side of one of the support seats 1. The pressure sensor 3 can monitor the pressure of the side wall of the skeleton component 2 on the support seat 1 in real time. The pressure can reflect the degree of deformation of the skeleton component 2. The monitoring result of the pressure sensor 3 is transmitted to the control unit. The control unit can automatically adjust the extension length of the telescopic component 4 according to the pressure signal returned by the pressure sensor 3, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the support force. The larger the detection value of the pressure sensor 3, the larger the extension length of the telescopic component 4, and the greater the support force provided. This adjustment enables the auxiliary support device to automatically optimize the support force according to different load conditions and navigation conditions, ensuring that the skeleton component 2 is always in a good support state, thereby effectively reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by insufficient support.
[0034] This auxiliary support device effectively solves the problems of poor stability and non-adjustable support force of traditional wooden wedge supports. It not only improves the stability and safety of the support, but also automatically adjusts the support force according to different working conditions, avoiding fatigue damage caused by local overload, extending the service life of components, improving the operating efficiency and safety of the ship.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, one side of one of the support bases 1 is provided with a groove, and the pressure sensor 3 is disposed in the groove. The sensing end of the pressure sensor 3 is used to fit against one surface of the skeleton component 2.
[0036] Specifically, the pressure sensor 3 dynamically adjusts the support stiffness of the frame component 2 according to the real-time load. The technique of controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic component 4 through the pressure sensor 3 is quite common. The extension length of the telescopic component 4 is proportional to the detection value of the pressure sensor 3. The larger the detection value of the pressure sensor 3, the larger the extension length of the telescopic component 4, and the greater the support force provided.
[0037] Preferably, the ship auxiliary support device further includes a rubber pad 5, which is attached to one side of one of the support seats 1. The rubber pad 5 has an opening, which is located at the recess of the groove.
[0038] Specifically, the rubber pad is a silicone pad, which has anti-slip and vibration damping functions, improving the stability of the bracket base 1 connection.
[0039] Preferably, the bracket 1 has a cavity inside.
[0040] Specifically, the support base 1 is a 3D-printed hollow structure that balances strength and lightweight.
[0041] Preferably, the interior of the bracket 1 is filled with damping silicone.
[0042] Specifically, the strength of the support base 1 is improved, and vibration energy from different directions is absorbed. With the help of the rubber pad 5, the vibration transmission rate is reduced by 60%. Actual measurement data shows that the vibration transmission rate drops from 0.8 to 0.32, thus improving the stability of the connection of the support base 1.
[0043] Preferably, the bracket 1 is covered with an anti-corrosion coating.
[0044] Specifically, the anti-corrosion coating is an outer layer made of carbon fiber-graphene composite coating, which reduces the weight by 30% and has good waterproof and anti-corrosion properties. Its resistance to salt spray corrosion is improved by 5 times. In simulated salt spray tests, the life of the support base 1 can be extended from 2 years to 10 years.
[0045] Preferably, the bracket 1 is provided with a hinge hole, and a pin 6 for connecting with the telescopic component 4 is inserted into the hinge hole.
[0046] Specifically, the bracket 1 is provided with standard hinge holes, which can be hinged to the hinge holes on the telescopic component 4 through the pin 8. Disassembly is convenient and supports quick plug-in replacement. When replacing a new telescopic component 4 through the hinged connection of the pin 8, it only takes 5 minutes, which improves maintenance efficiency, adapts to a variety of component sizes, and has high scene adaptability.
[0047] Preferably, the support base 1 and the frame component 2 are connected by bolts.
[0048] Specifically, bolted connections offer high reliability and facilitate disassembly, installation, and position adjustment.
[0049] Preferably, the telescopic component 4 is a hydraulic cylinder.
[0050] In summary, when the auxiliary support device for ships provided by this utility model is used, taking its installation in the ship's beam as an example: the two support seats of the auxiliary support device are respectively installed on the web plate 7 and the panel 6 inside the beam, with the web plate 7 and the panel 6 forming a 90° angle; the telescopic component 4 extends out and provides support between the web plate 7 and the panel 6, forming a stable support structure. Compared with the traditional wooden wedge support, this auxiliary support device is more stable and can effectively prevent the wooden wedge from shaking or shifting due to unstable support.
[0051] The pressure sensor 3 of the auxiliary support device can monitor the pressure of the side wall of the skeleton component 2 on the support base 1 in real time. This pressure can reflect the degree of deformation of the skeleton component 2. The monitoring result of the pressure sensor 3 is transmitted to the control unit. The control unit can automatically adjust the extension length of the telescopic component 4 according to the pressure data returned by the pressure sensor 3, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the support force. When the detection value of the pressure sensor 3 increases, the extension length of the telescopic component 4 is increased to improve the support force. This adjustment function enables the auxiliary support device to automatically optimize the support force according to different load conditions and navigation states, ensuring that the skeleton component 2 of the ship is always in a good support state. This can effectively reduce the risk of safety accidents caused by support failure. Compared with wooden wedge support, it does not require manual adjustment, which can reduce the frequency of manual inspection by 70% and reduce maintenance costs. It also does not require wooden wedges of various specifications, as they are set in the abdominal cavity of the skeleton frame 2 and do not occupy storage space.
[0052] The bracket 1 of the auxiliary support device has good waterproof, corrosion-resistant and vibration-resistant performance, and can be quickly plugged in and replaced through the pin 6. It has high adaptability to various scenarios and high reusability.
[0053] This auxiliary support device effectively solves the problems of poor stability and non-adjustable support force of traditional wooden wedge supports. It not only improves the stability and safety of the support, but also automatically adjusts the support force according to different working conditions, avoids fatigue damage caused by local overload, extends the service life of the frame component 2, improves the operating efficiency of the ship and improves the operating safety of the ship.
[0054] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
