Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary devices for equipment installation and adjustment, and specifically relates to an adjustment device for quick installation and leveling of equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the installation or post-installation adjustment of large equipment, machine bases, or heavy facilities, the common method for rapid height and leveling is to use multiple sets of stacked wedge shims. However, this method is inefficient. Because the wedge shims themselves have a small slope, the amount of height adjustment in a single operation is very limited. Operators need to repeatedly use a sledgehammer or hand hammer to tap the shim set to fine-tune the height based on measurements, or frequently lift the equipment and remove the shims for replacement. For a large piece of equipment requiring coordinated adjustment of multiple sets of shims, this process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and severely restricts the overall progress of installation or maintenance.

[0003] Secondly, there is insufficient safety assurance in the work. The conditions for installing new equipment or adjusting it on-site are often very complex, and there is frequently a lack of safe operating platforms and guardrails. When performing frequent hammering, jacking, and pad replacement operations, workers often have to be in dangerous positions such as the edge of the equipment or the edge of the pit. This not only makes operation extremely inconvenient, but also greatly increases the risk of workers falling from heights, being struck by objects, or being injured by machinery, making it difficult to effectively guarantee personal safety.

[0004] Furthermore, the adjustment precision is difficult to control and the stability is poor. Relying on manual tapping for adjustment makes it difficult to precisely control the force and amplitude, which can easily lead to over-adjustment and require repeated adjustments. At the same time, the inclined shim assemblies fixed by friction are prone to slippage, loosening, or even falling off under the vibration of the equipment during operation, resulting in the loss of the equipment's reference and affecting the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need for a new type of adjustment device capable of enabling rapid, precise, and safe leveling operations for the installation of large equipment, while overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies. Therefore, an adjustment device for rapid equipment installation and leveling is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, an adjustment device for quick installation and leveling of equipment includes an upper inclined pad 1 and a lower inclined pad 2, and a conical pad 3 disposed between the upper inclined pad 1 and the lower inclined pad 2. A threaded through hole is provided through the middle of the conical pad 3. An adjusting screw 4 passes through the through hole and is threadedly engaged with the conical pad 3. An adjusting handle 5 for applying rotational force is fixedly provided at one end of the adjusting screw 4. A locking nut 6 is provided on each side of the conical pad 3 on the shaft of the adjusting screw 4. The two locking nuts 6 are tightly fitted against the sides of the conical pad 3 to fix its position. The two locking nuts 6 are located on opposite sides of the conical pad 3. After adjustment, the nuts on both sides are tightened to ensure tight contact with the conical pad 3. By tightening in the opposite direction, the inherent gap between the threads can be eliminated, forming a strong clamping force and firmly fixing the conical pad 3 in the specific position of the adjusting screw 4.

[0024] The adjusting handle 5 drives the tapered pad 3 to move along the axis of the adjusting screw 4, pushing the upper inclined pad 1 and the lower inclined pad 2 to produce relative displacement. The threaded through hole inside the tapered pad 3 cooperates with the adjusting screw 4. When it moves on the adjusting screw 4, its unique tapered slope will squeeze the upper and lower inclined pads 2, providing a direct and powerful thrust for the opening and closing of the pad assembly. Compared with traditional small-slope inclined shims, the movement of the tapered pad 3 can produce a larger horizontal displacement, thereby significantly amplifying the vertical lifting and lowering of the upper and lower pads and achieving a "coarse adjustment" effect. Rotating the adjusting screw 4 is much less strenuous than tapping the shims, and the movement is more precise, avoiding repeated trials. Moreover, the lifting and lowering range of a single adjustment is much greater than that of traditional inclined shims, improving work efficiency.

[0025] The adjusting screw 4 acts as the power transmission medium, transferring the torque applied by the operator to the adjusting handle 5 to the tapered pad 3. Together with the locking nuts 6 on both sides, they form a locking system. The threaded drive has a natural self-locking characteristic; that is, it can naturally maintain its position without external force and will not rotate due to the weight of the equipment, ensuring initial stability. The screw pitch determines the adjustment accuracy, allowing for very micron-level precise movement and easy, accurate leveling. Made of steel, the screw can withstand significant axial pressure and tension, making it suitable for heavy-duty equipment.

[0026] The adjusting handle 5 extends the operating radius, providing a labor-saving lever that allows the operator to generate the large torque required to rotate the lead screw with minimal force. It eliminates the need for dangerous sledgehammers and hand hammers, removing the risk of injury from falling objects and hammer blows. The long handle design makes adjustments easy and reduces labor intensity. If necessary, an extension tube can be used to obtain a larger lever arm for adjusting extremely heavy equipment.

[0027] The upper inclined plate 1 and lower inclined plate 2 directly bear the weight of the equipment and transmit the pressure to the foundation through the conical plate 3. Based on the principle of inclined planes, the horizontal thrust provided by the relative sliding of the conical plate 3 is converted into the vertical lifting of the entire device. After adjustment, the upper inclined plate 1 and lower inclined plate 2 are the structural components that directly support the equipment. The large contact area provides stable support, and by utilizing the principle of inclined planes, small horizontal displacements are converted into considerable vertical height changes.

[0028] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:

[0029] The top and bottom surfaces of the conical pad 3 are inclined surfaces at an angle to the horizontal plane, and the inclined surfaces are adapted to the lower surface of the upper inclined pad 1 and the upper surface of the lower inclined pad 2 to form surface contact.

[0030] The bottom of the upper inclined pad 1, the top of the lower inclined pad 2, and the upper and lower ends of the conical pad 3 are provided with anti-slip patterns to increase friction. The anti-slip patterns increase the static friction between the contact surfaces, preventing accidental misalignment between the pads due to force during adjustment and locking, thus enhancing stability during adjustment and reliability after final locking, and avoiding the risk of the pads suddenly slipping off during adjustment.

[0031] The upper surface of the upper inclined pad 1 and the lower surface of the lower inclined pad 2 are both flat. The lower surface of the lower inclined pad 2 has bolt holes for fixing to the equipment base or foundation. The bolt holes provide an interface for temporarily or permanently fixing the entire adjustment device to the foundation or equipment base. Before the equipment is lowered, multiple sets of adjustment devices can be roughly fixed in their predetermined positions with bolts to prevent them from being knocked over or displaced. This achieves the function of "pre-adjustment", making the subsequent equipment placement faster and safer, and further resisting horizontal forces.

[0032] The adjusting handle 5 is a straight handle with anti-slip texture. The straight handle structure forms a simple yet effective lever; when the operator grips the end of the handle and rotates it, the lever arm is at its longest, allowing for the generation of a large torque with a small force, thus easily driving the adjusting screw to rotate. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, requires no complex hinge or folding mechanisms, and is highly reliable. In the confined spaces where most equipment is installed, a simple straight handle usually provides sufficient space to rotate without interfering with surrounding equipment.

[0033] The lever principle makes adjusting heavy equipment easy, significantly reducing the labor intensity of operators. With no moving parts, the straight handle is virtually undamaged, robust, and durable, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The operating method is straightforward; any worker can learn to use it immediately without special training.

[0034] The anti-slip texture is preferably knurled, mesh, or striped raised, increasing the coefficient of friction between the surface of the adjusting handle 5 and the operator's glove or palm. When rotational force is applied, the hand will not slip relative to the handle surface. In metallurgical, chemical, and mining environments, workers' gloves, handles, or work platforms are often contaminated with oil, water, or dust, making the surfaces slippery. The anti-slip texture effectively prevents hand slippage during forceful rotation, avoiding accidental injuries such as muscle strains, joint sprains, and impacts caused by slipping, thus improving operational safety.

[0035] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
