Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trough-shaped bulkhead processing technology, specifically a trough-shaped bulkhead segment manufacturing jig. Background Technology
[0002] Channel bulkheads are ship compartment partition components made of corrugated or channel-shaped steel plates. They enhance strength and rigidity through geometric shapes and have advantages such as reducing steel consumption, simplifying the construction process, and having a smooth surface for easy cargo stacking. They are widely used in compartment partitioning scenarios for cargo ships, liquid cargo ships, and other similar vessels.
[0003] The jig is a worktable for assembling and welding curved surface segments and three-dimensional segments and assemblies with curved surfaces. Its curved working surface should conform to the outer curved surface of the segment or assemblies. Its function is to ensure the profile and dimensions of the segments or assemblies, and to provide good working conditions for the assembly and welding of the segments and assemblies.
[0004] In the structural design of oil tankers and bulk carriers, trough-shaped bulkheads for cargo holds have been widely used. However, during the fabrication of trough sections, it is often difficult to control the specifications of the troughs. In addition, after the trough plates are bent, the material stacking takes up a large area, and the bending and plate edges are easily damaged during transportation. Furthermore, after being stacked for a long time, the bending angle of the trough plates is easily deformed, which leads to the need for reprocessing of the trough plates, increasing production costs and bringing unnecessary workload to production. To address this, we propose a jig for the fabrication of trough-shaped bulkhead sections. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a segmented fabrication jig for a trough-shaped bulkhead, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a segmented fabrication frame for a trough-shaped bulkhead, comprising a trough-shaped bending plate and a trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate. The trough-shaped bending plate is detachably connected to the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate on both sides. A first support leg is detachably connected to the center position on both sides of the lower surface of the trough-shaped bending plate. A second support leg is detachably connected to the center position on both sides of the lower surface of the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate. The corners of the trough-shaped bending plate and the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate are both provided with rounded corners.
[0007] Preferably, both the first support leg and the second support leg include a support rod and a support base rod. The support rod can be detachably connected to the center position on both sides of the lower surface of the groove-shaped bending plate and the groove-shaped contour reinforced support plate. The support base rod is sleeved on the lower end surface of the support rod and is threaded to the surface of the support rod.
[0008] Preferably, the surfaces of the grooved bending plate and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate are both provided with rubber protective pads.
[0009] Preferably, a mating groove is provided on one side of the connection between the groove-shaped bending plate and the groove-shaped contour reinforcing support plate, and a mating block is fixedly connected to one side of the groove-shaped contour reinforcing support plate and the groove-shaped bending plate, and the mating groove and the mating block are compatible.
[0010] Preferably, both the grooved bending plate and the grooved profile reinforcing support plate adopt a lightweight truss frame.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model combines a channel-shaped bent plate and a channel-shaped contour reinforced support plate to form a stable load-bearing structure, providing reliable support for bulkhead sections. The threaded connection between the support rods in the first and second support legs and the support base allows for flexible adjustment of the frame's height and levelness according to the site's flatness, ensuring stability and precise benchmarks. Rounded corners prevent worker injuries during use, while surface rubber protective pads prevent wear and scratches on the bulkhead sections, buffer external impacts, protect surface quality and structural integrity, and prevent frame deformation, ensuring stability during use. During assembly, the mating grooves and mating blocks allow for quick component connection, reducing assembly difficulty and facilitating disassembly, transportation, storage, and installation, thus improving efficiency. Furthermore, by adding or removing components, it can adapt to various bulkhead sections, thus accommodating different specifications of channel-shaped bulkheads for production, enhancing the frame's practicality.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Example
[0019] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a segmented fabrication jig for a trough-shaped bulkhead, comprising a trough-shaped bending plate 1 and a trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3. Both sides of the trough-shaped bending plate 1 are detachably connected to the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3. First support legs 2 are detachably connected to the center positions of both sides of the lower surface of the trough-shaped bending plate 1. Second support legs 4 are detachably connected to the center positions of both sides of the lower surface of the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3. Both the trough-shaped bending plate 1 and the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3 have rounded corners 5 at their corners. The detachable connection between the trough-shaped bending plate 1 and the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3 facilitates quick assembly and disassembly according to actual needs, improving the convenience of jig transportation, storage, and relocation. Simultaneously, the rounded corners 5 at the corners effectively prevent workers from being injured by collisions during construction and also prevent deformation of the jig due to impacts, ensuring stable operation and effectively improving the practicality and safety of the jig.
[0020] The first support leg 2 and the second support leg 4 each include a support rod 21 and a support base rod 22. The support rod 21 can be detachably connected to the center positions on both sides of the lower surface of the channel-shaped bending plate 1 and the channel-shaped contour reinforced support plate 3. The support base rod 22 is sleeved on the lower surface of the support rod 21 and is threaded to the surface of the support rod 21. The threaded connection between the support rod 21 and the support base rod 22 in the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 4 allows for flexible adjustment of the height and level of the jig to a certain extent according to the flatness of the construction site, ensuring that the jig stably supports the channel-shaped bulkhead sections and provides a precise benchmark for their fabrication. At the same time, the detachable structure facilitates the transportation and storage of the jig, improving its ease of use.
[0021] The grooved bending plate 1 and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 are both provided with rubber protective pads 8. The rubber protective pads 8 on the surfaces of the grooved bending plate 1 and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 can effectively prevent wear and scratches caused by direct contact between the grooved bulkhead section and the jig during the manufacturing process. At the same time, they can buffer the impact of external forces during welding or assembly, protect the surface quality and structural integrity of the bulkhead section, and improve the reliability of the jig.
[0022] The grooved bending plate 1 and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 are both provided with a connecting groove 6 on one side. The grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 and the grooved bending plate 1 are both fixedly connected with a connecting block 7 on one side. The connecting groove 6 and the connecting block 7 are adapted to each other. Both the grooved bending plate 1 and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 adopt a lightweight truss frame. The grooved bending plate 1 and the grooved contour reinforcing support plate 3 can be quickly disassembled and flexibly spliced through the precise adaptation of the connecting groove 6 and the connecting block 7, which effectively improves the assembly efficiency of the jig. Moreover, the use of a lightweight truss frame ensures structural strength and stability while effectively reducing the overall weight of the jig and reducing transportation costs. The hollow design expands the operating space and improves the convenience and practicality of construction.
[0023] It should be noted that this utility model is a jig for manufacturing segmented trough-shaped bulkheads. Based on the specifications of the trough-shaped bulkhead segments, the mating structure of the connecting groove 6 and the connecting block 7 is used to quickly assemble the trough-shaped bending plate 1 and the trough-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3, completing the initial assembly of the jig. This modular assembly method reduces the difficulty of assembly and facilitates subsequent transportation, storage, and installation. Then, depending on the flatness of the construction site, the height and levelness of the jig can be flexibly adjusted to a certain extent by rotating the threaded connection between the support rod 21 and the support base rod 22 in the first support leg 2 and the second support leg 4, thus facilitating the fabrication of the bulkhead segments. The fabrication provides a stable and accurate benchmark. During construction, workers perform welding, measurement, and other operations around and inside the lightweight truss frame with its hollow structure and increased operating space. The rounded corners 5 at the corners of the channel-shaped bending plate 1 and the channel-shaped contour reinforcing support plate 3 prevent workers from being bumped and injured. The rubber protective pads 8 covering their surfaces prevent the bulkhead sections from directly contacting the jig and causing wear and scratches, and buffer external impacts, protecting the surface quality and structural integrity of the bulkhead sections. If it is necessary to adapt to the production of different specifications of channel-shaped bulkheads, it can be achieved by adding, subtracting, or replacing corresponding components, further improving the practical effect of the jig.
