[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an auxiliary support for welding an engine mount frame, including a support body 9; the support body 9 is provided with a plurality of main columns 4 for supporting the support body 9; The support body 9 has several layers of operating platforms 6 in the vertical direction. Support staircases 3 are installed between the bottom operating platform 6 and the ground, as well as between two adjacent operating platforms 6. Workers can use the support staircases 3 to reach each operating platform 6 to carry out welding operations. The support body 9 has a right support wing 1 and a left support wing 2 installed on the front side. The sides of the left support wing 2 and the right support wing 1 are respectively rotatably hinged to the left and right ends of the support body 9. Both the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the support are provided with a number of auxiliary platforms 10 in the vertical direction, which correspond one-to-one with the height of the operating platform 6 of each layer. Each auxiliary platform 10 is connected to the corresponding operating platform 6.
[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of both the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the bracket are equipped with self-locking casters 8, which can effectively reduce movement resistance when the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the bracket are rotated and opened.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom of the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the bracket are also provided with fixing pins 7. After the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the bracket are rotated and opened, the fixing pins 7 are used to insert into the holes in the ground steel plate, thereby better fixing the right wing 1 and the left wing 2 of the bracket.
[0026] Furthermore, the support body 9 is provided with seven vertically installed main columns 4.
[0027] Furthermore, each of the operating platform 6 and the auxiliary platform 10 is equipped with a protective fence 5 on its outer edge. The fence 5 of the operating platform 6 is provided with an exit that leads to the auxiliary platform 10. A detachable chain is installed horizontally on the exit. When it is necessary to enter the auxiliary platform 10 through the exit for work, the chain can be removed and then reinstalled after the work is completed.
[0028] Furthermore, handrails are provided on both sides of the support staircase 3.
[0029] Furthermore, the fence 5 is made of steel pipe with an outer diameter of 34mm and a wall thickness of 3mm, and is welded to the operating platform 6 or the auxiliary platform 10; the tread part of the support staircase 3, the operating platform 6 and the auxiliary platform 10 are made of 8mm thick patterned steel plate, which can play a role in wear resistance and anti-slip; the connecting parts on both sides of the tread part of the support staircase 3 are made of 20# channel steel, and the handrail is made of steel pipe with an outer diameter of 34mm and a wall thickness of 3mm.
[0030] The auxiliary support described in this utility model has seven main columns 4, which can reinforce the support body 9. In use, the bottom of the main columns 4 can be welded to the cross grid pre-embedded in the ground, making the support body 9 more solid.
[0031] like Figure 2As shown, when welding the marine engine base 11 (or frame) while it is erected, workers can access each level of the operating platform 6 via the support stairs 3 to directly reach each position of the workpiece and then perform flat welding. This ensures safety while improving work efficiency. In use, the right wing 1 and left wing 3 of the support are slowly pushed to both sides of the base to be welded. Welding workers can then access each level of the auxiliary platform 10 on the right wing 1 and left wing 2 of the support from the operating platform 6 to reach each welding position and perform welding operations. After welding, the right wing 1 and left wing 3 of the support are slowly pushed apart. The specific operating steps are as follows: The first step is to use a 150-ton large hook and an 80-ton small hook crane to lift and transport the marine engine base, with the opening of the base facing about 200mm from the welding auxiliary support, and the bottom surface leveled. The second step is to slowly push the left and right wings of the bracket to both sides of the base that needs to be welded, lock the casters, and insert the fixing pins into the air on the ground. Third, welding workers can access each welding location based on the platform height to perform welding operations. Step 4: After welding is completed, slowly push the left and right wings of the support apart, and then use a 150-ton large hook and an 80-ton small hook crane to move the machine base away from the work position.
[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
