Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship modification technology, and in particular to a marine aluminum alloy windshield seat profile. Background Technology

[0002] Ships, as an important tool of water transportation, play a crucial role in transportation and navigation. With the widespread use of aluminum alloys in shipbuilding, due to their numerous advantages such as light weight, fuel efficiency, environmental friendliness, recyclability, and repairability, more and more ships are choosing to be manufactured using aluminum alloys.

[0003] Ship windshields primarily serve to protect the safety of the helmsman and enhance the overall aesthetics of the vessel during operation. However, in traditional technologies, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the windshield mounting base 1 and the deck sealing edge 2 are typically designed as separate structures. The manufacturing process of the windshield mounting base 1 is quite complex, generally requiring the aluminum plate to be cut, then bent, then embedded parts, and finally welded wire thread sleeves. This separate structure and complex manufacturing process not only wastes a significant amount of time and manpower but also increases mold-making costs, hindering efficient shipbuilding and cost control. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a marine aluminum alloy windshield seat profile, which is manufactured through an integrated molding process, thereby effectively reducing cumbersome procedures such as welding embedded parts, bending, and installing wire thread sleeves, making the installation process more convenient and efficient, while saving labor and material costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a marine aluminum alloy windshield profile, comprising a profile body with a preset curvature and an elongated shape, on which a deck slot and a windshield mounting surface are provided; the profile body, deck slot, and windshield mounting surface are made of an integral molding structure; the deck slot is located on one side of the bottom of the profile body; it includes two clamping plates connected at one end to the profile body and arranged opposite each other, the two clamping plates extending along the length direction of the profile body, forming a deck slot for inserting a reinforced deck; the windshield mounting surface includes a mounting plate flush with the top of the profile body, the mounting plate being positioned above the deck slot and extending along the length direction of the profile body; at the bottom of the mounting plate, a limiting plate extending towards the deck slot is provided, the limiting plate extending along the length direction of the mounting plate; a nut limiting groove is formed between the limiting plate and the profile body; the width of the nut limiting groove is greater than the parallel opposite side distance of the fixing nut and less than the diagonal distance of the fixing nut.

[0006] The aforementioned structure not only ensures the overall strength of the profile but also simplifies the manufacturing process, effectively reducing cumbersome procedures such as welding embedded parts, bending, and installing wire threaded inserts. Furthermore, the deck slot design allows for direct insertion of reinforced deck sections, making installation more convenient and efficient. The nut retaining groove eliminates the need for cumbersome procedures like installing wire threaded inserts, saving labor and material costs.

[0007] Preferably, the side of the profile body opposite to the deck slot is a decorative edge banding surface, and a decorative edge banding groove is provided on the decorative edge banding surface for installing decorative strips. The decorative edge banding groove is used to install decorative strips, serving an aesthetic purpose.

[0008] Preferably, both the upper and lower sides of the edge banding decorative groove are rounded. This rounded corner design further enhances the safety of the edge banding decorative surface, preventing injury from touching sharp edges.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom edge of the limiting plate is provided with a left support plate extending towards the profile body, and the profile body is provided with a right support plate extending towards the limiting plate corresponding to the left support plate. The left and right support plates partially cover the groove of the nut limiting groove, and the distance between them allows the fixing bolt to pass through. This design not only protects the nut limiting groove and prevents the nut from accidentally falling off during installation, but also provides suitable space for the fixing bolt to pass through, ensuring smooth installation.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping plate above the deck slot is longer than the clamping plate below. This length difference design helps to better adapt to the structure of the stiffened deck, improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0011] Preferably, a chamfered surface is provided above the connection point between the clamping plate and the profile body located above the deck slot. The chamfered surface can reduce stress concentration and increase the strength of the connection between the clamping plate and the profile body, preventing it from deforming upwards due to the pressure of the stiffened deck 6.

[0012] Preferably, the ends of the mounting plate are provided with rounded surfaces. This rounded surface design not only enhances the overall aesthetics of the profile but also avoids safety hazards such as scratches caused by sharp edges during installation and use.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model, a marine aluminum alloy windshield seat profile, solves the technical problem that the existing marine windshield mounting seat and deck sealing edge adopt a separate structure design, which leads to a more complicated process and low production efficiency. This utility model is manufactured through an integrated molding process, thereby effectively reducing cumbersome processes such as welding embedded parts, bending, and installing steel wire thread sleeves, making the installation process more convenient and efficient, while saving labor and material costs.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] The orientations mentioned in this specification are based on the orientation of the marine aluminum alloy windshield seat profile of this utility model during normal operation, and do not limit its orientation during storage and transportation. They only represent relative positional relationships and do not represent absolute positional relationships.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, a marine aluminum alloy windshield seat profile has an irregular shape. This irregular shape design fully considers the installation requirements of the stiffened deck 6 and the windshield 7 as well as the overall aesthetics.

[0025] A marine aluminum alloy windshield mount profile includes a profile body 3 with a preset curvature and an elongated shape. A deck slot 4 and a windshield mounting surface 5 are provided on the profile body 3; and the profile body 3, deck slot 4, and windshield mounting surface 5 are made of a single piece, preferably by aluminum alloy extrusion molding. This single-piece molding design not only ensures the overall strength of the profile but also simplifies the manufacturing process.

[0026] The deck slot 4 is located on one side of the bottom of the profile body 3 and consists of two opposing clamping plates 41. The two clamping plates 41 extend along the length of the profile body 3, forming a deck slot 4 for inserting the stiffened deck 6. This design allows the stiffened deck 6 to be quickly and accurately inserted into the deck slot 4, achieving a preliminary connection between the profile and the stiffened deck 6. During installation, the edge of the stiffened deck 6 is aligned with the deck slot 4 and inserted, with the upper and lower positions secured using natural bevel fillet welds. This not only ensures a firm connection between the profile and the stiffened deck 6 but also provides edge sealing and protection for personnel.

[0027] Furthermore, the clamping plate 41 located above the deck slot 4 is longer than the clamping plate 41 below it. This length difference design helps to better adapt to the structure of the stiffened deck 6, improving the stability and reliability of the connection. Simultaneously, a chamfered surface is provided above the connection point between the clamping plate 41 above the deck slot 4 and the profile body 3. The chamfered surface reduces stress concentration and increases the strength of the connection between the clamping plate 41 and the profile body 3, preventing it from deforming upwards due to the pressure of the stiffened deck 6.

[0028] The windshield mounting surface 5 includes a mounting plate 51 that is flush with the top of the profile body 3 and is located on the top of the profile body 3. The mounting plate 51 is located above the deck slot 4 and extends along the length of the profile body 3, providing a flat and stable platform for the installation of the windshield 7.

[0029] At the bottom of the mounting plate 51, a limiting plate 52 extending towards the deck slot 4 is provided, extending along the length of the mounting plate 51. The limiting plate 52 and the profile body 3 form a nut limiting groove; the width of the nut limiting groove is greater than the distance between the parallel opposite sides of the fixing nut 8 and less than the diagonal distance of the fixing nut 8. This dimensional design allows the fixing nut 8 to fit precisely into the nut limiting groove. When tightening the bolts, the nut limiting groove precisely engages the parallel sides of the fixing nut 8, preventing the fixing nut 8 from rotating, thereby ensuring the firmness, stability, and reliability of the windshield 7 installation.

[0030] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a left support plate 53 extending towards the profile body 3 is provided along the bottom edge of the limiting plate 52, and a right support plate 54 extending towards the limiting plate 52 is provided on the profile body 3 corresponding to the left support plate 53. The left support plate 53 and the right support plate 54 partially cover the opening of the nut limiting groove, and the distance between them allows the fixing bolt 9 to pass through. This design not only protects the nut limiting groove and prevents the nut from accidentally falling off during installation, but also provides suitable space for the fixing bolt 9 to pass through, ensuring smooth installation.

[0031] During installation, adjust the installation position of the windshield 7 on the mounting plate 51, mark the bolt hole positions, drill through holes, and pre-insert the fixing nut 8 into the nut limiting groove. With the support of the left support plate 53 and the right support plate 54, the fixing nut 8 will not come out. According to the drilled through holes, slide the fixing nut 8 to adjust its position, and then use the fixing bolt 9 to tighten and fix the windshield 7. The installed windshield 7 is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.

[0032] In addition, the end of the mounting plate 51 is provided with a rounded surface 511. The design of the rounded surface 511 not only improves the overall aesthetics of the profile, but also avoids safety hazards such as scratches to personnel caused by sharp edges during installation and use.

[0033] The side of the profile body 3 opposite to the deck slot 4 is a decorative edge banding surface 31, on which a decorative edge banding groove 311 is provided. The decorative edge banding groove 311 is used to install decorative strips, which serves an aesthetic purpose. Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the decorative edge banding groove 311 are rounded, which further enhances the safety of the decorative edge banding surface 31 and prevents people from being injured by touching sharp edges.

[0034] This utility model integrates the windshield seat and deck sealing function into one piece, adopting a one-piece molding structure, which not only reduces the cost of mold opening, but also simplifies the installation process and improves the installation efficiency, thus having significant economic benefits and practical value.

[0035] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
