Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship model placement technology, specifically a ship design model bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Ship models are indispensable tools in ship design, manufacturing, research, and teaching. They realistically reproduce the shape, structure, and some functions of a ship at a reduced scale, intuitively reflecting its various performance characteristics and design features. From a usage perspective, ship models can be divided into several types. In the design phase, conceptual models help designers transform abstract ideas into concrete forms, facilitating team discussions and modifications. Performance testing models are placed in water tanks to simulate the ship's navigation under different water flow and wave conditions, providing data support for hull line optimization and resistance calculations. In the exhibition field, display models are meticulously crafted and frequently appear in museums and exhibitions, showcasing the history, culture, and technological achievements of ships to the public. Ship models require support brackets for placement during display.

[0003] Existing model brackets typically use suction cups for adsorption to securely connect the bottom of ship models. However, the connection between existing suction cups and brackets is mostly rigid (such as direct bolt tightening). When there are slight undulations on the bottom of the ship model (such as welding lines or coating protrusions), the suction cups cannot adaptively adjust to the surface shape. In this case, the edge of the suction cup will form a "line contact" with the model surface, resulting in local stress concentration. For models made of brittle materials such as ABS plastic and resin, indentations or even cracks may appear at the contact point, which can easily lead to damage to the ship model. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a model bracket for ship design, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. To solve these technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model is a model bracket for ship design, comprising:

[0006] The bracket body and the groove, wherein grooves are provided at both ends of the bracket body;

[0007] A multi-angle fastening adsorption assembly includes a strip groove, a circular receiving groove, a sphere, a receiving cylinder, a cylindrical groove, a cylindrical rod, and a suction cup. The bracket body has a strip groove and a circular receiving groove. The sphere is movably connected to the strip groove and the circular receiving groove. The receiving cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper center of the sphere. The receiving cylinder has a cylindrical groove. The cylindrical rod is movably connected to the cylindrical groove. The suction cup is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the circular receiving groove extends through the connecting strip groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the circular receiving groove is smaller than the diameter of the sphere.

[0010] Furthermore, six circular receiving grooves are correspondingly provided on the strip groove, and the circular receiving grooves are distributed at equal intervals with each other.

[0011] Furthermore, the length of the cylindrical rod is greater than the length of the receiving cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the bracket body has a V-shaped inclined structure at both ends.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an elastic adaptation component, which includes a spring, a spring movably connected in the receiving cylinder, and a cylindrical rod movably connected to the spring.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic adaptation component also includes guide grooves and guide blocks. Guide grooves are formed on the side walls at both ends of the receiving cylinder, and guide blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the cylindrical rod. Guide blocks are movably connected in the guide grooves.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this invention, the rotation of the sphere in the circular receiving groove allows the suction cup to adaptively tilt according to the surface shape of the ship model, ensuring that the suction cup fits evenly and completely. This eliminates the stress concentration problem caused by the edge "line contact" of traditional rigid connections, protects the surface of ship models made of brittle materials such as resin and ABS from indentations or cracks, and thus avoids damage to the ship model under stress.

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.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a model bracket for ship design, comprising:

[0029] The bracket body 101 and the groove 102 are provided at both ends of the bracket body 101;

[0030] A multi-angle fastening adsorption assembly includes a strip groove 201, a circular receiving groove 202, a sphere 203, a receiving cylinder 204, a cylindrical groove 205, a cylindrical rod 206, and a suction cup 207. The bracket body 101 has the strip groove 201 and the circular receiving groove 202. The sphere 203 is movably connected to the strip groove 201 and the circular receiving groove 202. The receiving cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the sphere 203. The cylindrical groove 205 is formed in the receiving cylinder 204. The cylindrical rod 206 is movably connected to the cylindrical groove 205. The suction cup 207 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylindrical rod 206. The circular receiving groove 202 penetrates and connects to the strip groove 201.

[0031] The groove 102 on the bracket body 101 is designed to fit the bottom shape of the ship design model. The opening of the strip groove 201 and the circular receiving groove 202 ensures the rotational connection of the sphere 203. The opening of the cylindrical groove 205 in the receiving cylinder 204 ensures the movable connection of the cylindrical rod 206, and thus ensures the movable connection between the suction cup 207 and the bracket body 101.

[0032] The diameter of the circular receiving groove 202 is smaller than the diameter of the sphere 203;

[0033] The dimensional arrangement between the aforementioned components prevents the ball 203 from detaching from the bracket body 101.

[0034] Six circular receiving grooves 202 are correspondingly opened on the strip groove 201, and the circular receiving grooves 202 are distributed at equal intervals to each other;

[0035] The number of circular receiving grooves 202 ensures that a sufficient number of suction cups 207 are installed to achieve a stable connection.

[0036] The length of cylindrical rod 206 is greater than the length of receiving cylinder 204;

[0037] The dimensional arrangement between the above components can prevent the suction cup 207 from contacting the receiving cylinder 204 and causing damage to the suction cup 207 when subjected to force.

[0038] The bracket body 101 has a V-shaped inclined structure at both ends;

[0039] The V-shaped tilt of the bracket body 101 ensures that the height of the suction cup 207 decreases sequentially.

[0040] Working principle: When the ship model is brought into contact with the suction cup 207 and the ship model is pressed down appropriately, the suction cup 207 deforms under the action of external force and is adsorbed. At the same time, the force is transmitted to the sphere 203 through the cylindrical rod 206 and the receiving cylinder 204. At this time, the sphere 203 rotates adaptively at the circular receiving groove 202 and the strip groove 201 according to the shape of the ship model.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0042] The elastic adaptation component includes a spring 301, which is movably connected in the receiving cylinder 204, and the spring 301 is movably connected to the cylindrical rod 206.

[0043] The spring 301 enables the cylindrical rod 206 to be elastically connected, thereby allowing the suction cup 207 to be further adapted and adjusted according to the shape of the ship model.

[0044] The elastic adaptation component also includes guide grooves 302 and guide blocks 303. Guide grooves 302 are opened on the side walls at both ends of the receiving cylinder 204. Guide blocks 303 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the cylindrical rod 206. Guide blocks 303 are movably connected in the guide grooves 302.

[0045] The guide groove 302 and the guide block 303 work together to limit the movement of the cylindrical rod 206 and prevent it from detaching from the receiving cylinder 204.

[0046] Working principle: During the pressing process of the ship model, the cylindrical rod 206 transmits the force to the spring 301. At this time, the spring 301 is deformed and compressed, and the degree of deformation and compression is adaptively adjusted according to different positions of the ship model. The preload generated by the spring 301 in this step can push the suction cup 207 to fit tightly against the curved surface. Even after the ball 203 rotates and adjusts its angle, the gap of the contact surface can still be compensated by elastic expansion and contraction to ensure that the edge of the suction cup 207 is completely sealed, reducing the attenuation of the suction force caused by air leakage. At the same time, the expansion and contraction of the spring 301 can accommodate existing dimensional tolerances (such as suction cup position deviation, uneven bottom of the model), improving the stable connection effect.

[0047] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
