Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically to a high-efficiency docking tool for bulk container guide rails. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of shipbuilding technology, ultra-large container ships are becoming increasingly popular in the market. Due to the requirement for complete pre-outfitting of sections, some transverse bulkhead areas have assembly joints and closure joints. The container bulkhead guide rails in these areas need to be installed across these joints. Since the precision requirements cannot be met during the section installation stage, these guide rails need to be assembled in bulk at the dock after the sections are assembled. There are two common methods for installing bulk container bulkhead guide rails: one is to use a crane to lift and position the rails throughout the installation process; the other is to pre-install brackets on the top of the transverse bulkhead, then use a crane to lift the guide rails into place, connect the guide rails to the pre-installed brackets using chains, detach the crane, and then use a hand-operated hoist to adjust the position of the guide rails.

[0003] Based on the above implementation method, the following problems mainly exist:

[0004] 1. When using a crane for hoisting and installation, the installation is difficult and requires the crane to be occupied for a long time, resulting in a waste of crane resources;

[0005] 2. While using cranes for hoisting and assembly and manual hoists for installation saves time, it requires workers to adjust the guide rail frame at height using manual hoists, resulting in low installation efficiency. Furthermore, workers using manual hoists at heights face the risk of falling from heights, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing background technology and, in combination with the structural form of the box partition rail installation point, to provide a high-efficiency hanging tool for bulk box partition rails.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a high-efficiency attachment tool for bulk container guide rails, including a clamping plate, a positioning block, and a U-shaped buckle, wherein the positioning block is fixed on the deck; the clamping plate includes a mounting plate, a connecting plate, and a clamping plate, wherein the mounting plate and the clamping plate are respectively fixed on opposite sides of the connecting plate, the mounting plate is provided with a connecting through hole, a positioning slot, and a safety hole, wherein the positioning slot can be adapted to engage with the positioning block, and a clamping gap is left between the clamping plate and the connecting plate, the clamping gap being adapted to clamp the container rail; the U-shaped buckle is connected and fixed to the positioning block for engaging and limiting the clamping plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a section of the box rail is equipped with two clamping plates, a positioning block, and a U-shaped buckle. The two clamping plates are arranged in a symmetrical structure. When in use, the opening directions of the two clamping gaps on them are opposite, clamping the box rail from both sides respectively, and connecting and fixing it by connecting bolts passing through the connecting through holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping plate has a transverse slot on the connecting plate that is compatible with the box rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting plate and the connecting plate are fixedly connected perpendicularly to each other, and a reinforcing plate is welded and fixed between them.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping plate is L-shaped, and its short side end is welded and fixed to the connecting plate, forming the aforementioned clamping gap between the clamping plate and the connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the U-shaped buckle are respectively provided with connecting round holes, and the positioning block is provided with connecting holes that are adapted to the connecting round holes on the U-shaped buckle.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the intermediate gap of the U-shaped buckle is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the mounting plates in the two clamping plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower edge of the hanging plate in the clamping plate is provided with an integrally formed limiting block near the connecting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention has a simple structure and adopts a lightweight design, which enables single-person hand-held installation and disassembly. After the crane lifts the box partition rail into place, it can quickly detach the hook, which can meet the accuracy requirements of the box partition rail installation, reduce the time occupied by the crane, reduce the safety risks and installation difficulty of the construction operation, and improve the construction efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a high-efficiency mounting fixture for bulk container guide rails includes a clamping plate 1, a positioning block 2, and a U-shaped buckle 3. The clamping plate 1 includes a mounting plate 11, a connecting plate 12, and a clamping plate 13. The mounting plate 11 is welded and fixed to the left side wall of the connecting plate 12, perpendicular to it. The mounting plate 11 has two connecting through holes 15, a positioning slot 16, and a safety hole 17. The positioning slot 16 is located at the lower edge of the mounting plate 11 and opens downwards. The clamping plate 13 has an L-shaped structure, with its short end welded and fixed to the right side wall of the connecting plate 12, perpendicular to it, and separated from it by a clamping gap 18. The connecting plate 12 also has a transverse slot 19, the opening direction of which is consistent with the opening direction of the clamping gap 18. A reinforcing plate 14 is also welded and fixed between the mounting plate 11 and the connecting plate 12, perpendicular to it, to improve the overall stability.

[0030] Combination Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in use, a section of the box rail 4 is equipped with two clamping plates 1, a positioning block 2, and a U-shaped buckle 3. The two clamping plates 1 are inserted and aligned from both sides of the box rail 4 towards the middle, arranged symmetrically, with the opening directions of the two clamping gaps 18 on them facing each other. The box rail 4 can be fitted into the clamping gaps 18 and transverse slots 19 in the clamping plates 1, and then bolts 6 are passed through the corresponding connecting through holes 15 and tightened with matching double nuts 7 to prevent slippage. The positioning block 2 is welded and fixed to the deck 5, and has two connecting holes 21. The U-shaped buckle 3 is clamped and fitted above the two mated clamping plates 1, with the width between them greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the mounting plates 11 in the two clamping plates 1. Each end of the U-shaped buckle 3 has a connecting round hole 31, corresponding to the connecting hole 21 on the positioning block 2. The two are tightened by bolts to prevent bounce and detachment, reducing safety risks.

[0031] In a further optimized technical solution, the lower edge of the mounting plate 11 in the clamping plate 1 extends downward near the connecting plate 12 to form an integrally formed limiting block, which is used to separate the edge of the deck from the box rail 4 to be fixed, so as to ensure the accuracy of its installation position.

[0032] The specific usage method includes the following steps, combined with Figure 10 As shown,

[0033] Step 1:

[0034] First, lines are drawn on deck 5 to align the center of positioning block 2 with the center of box rail 4. While meeting the installation accuracy requirements, positioning block 2 is pre-positioned and welded to deck 5. The main function of positioning block 2 is to clamp the hanging plate 1 and box rail 4 for positioning and installation, while also limiting the displacement of the clamping plate 1 in the ship's longitudinal direction.

[0035] Step Two:

[0036] Two clamping plates 1 are used to firmly clamp the upper end of the box rail 4 from both sides, and the appropriate bolts 6 and nuts 7 are used to tighten them together.

[0037] Step 3:

[0038] According to the hoisting plan, the box rail 4 is turned into a vertical state and hoisted to the position where the positioning slot 16 on the clamping plate 1 hooks the positioning block 2. The positioning slot 16 can be adapted and engaged with the positioning block 2.

[0039] Step Four:

[0040] Then, the U-shaped buckle 3 is fitted onto the top of the mounting plate 11 in the clamping plate 1, and the U-shaped buckle 3 is fixedly connected to the positioning block 2 with bolts to limit the clamping plate 1. This is mainly used to limit the displacement of the clamping plate 1 in the width and height directions of the ship and prevent the clamping plate 1 from falling off.

[0041] Step 5:

[0042] The crane slowly unloaded the load until it was unhooked.

[0043] Step Six:

[0044] Weld box rail 4 to complete the bulk assembly of the box partition guide rail frame.

[0045] Step Seven:

[0046] Then, use a safety rope to pass through the safety hole 17 on the mounting plate 11 of the clamping plate 1 to tie the clamping plate 1, and tie it to the outfitting parts near the deck surface to prevent the tooling from falling during dismantling and improve the safety of tooling dismantling; then remove the bolts fixing the positioning block 2 and the U-shaped buckle 3 to separate the positioning block 2 and the U-shaped buckle 3; then remove the bolts 6 that fasten the two clamping plates 1, and move the two clamping plates 1 to both sides until they are disengaged from the box rail 4; finally, cut off the positioning block 2.

[0047] The above solution replaces the traditional direct welding installation method with physical limiting and fixing, and uses a combination of mechanical structures to achieve limiting, which is safe and reliable. It eliminates the need for readjustment using a hand chain hoist, avoids the risk of speed loss during hand chain hoist operation, and reduces the safety risks of construction operations.

[0048] 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.
