Detailed Implementation

[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0017] First, combine Figures 1-6 This invention describes an adjustment device for ship section construction according to an embodiment of the present invention. Through modular structural design, multi-dimensional adjustment function and curved surface adaptation structure, it can achieve precise positioning and stable support of ship section components of different sizes and shapes, while improving the reuse rate of tooling and assembly efficiency.

[0018] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, an adjustment device for ship section construction according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a base assembly 1, a height assembly 2, a positioning assembly 3, and an adapter assembly 4; The height component 2 includes: a support column 21 and a vertical mechanism; The vertical mechanism is mounted on the base assembly 1. The output end of the vertical mechanism is located inside the support column 21 and connected to the support column 21. The vertical mechanism is used to adjust the height of the support column 21. The positioning component 3 includes: a positioning beam 31, a transverse mechanism, and a clamping mechanism; One end of the positioning beam 31 is connected to the top of the support column 21. The transverse mechanism is located on the positioning beam 31 and its output end is connected to the clamping mechanism. It is used to adjust the position of the clamping mechanism laterally. The clamping mechanism is used to press the surface of the component. The adapter component 4 is located on the output end of the clamping mechanism, and the adapter component 4 is used to adapt to the curved surface segmented component.

[0019] This application achieves precise positioning of components on the clamping mechanism through vertical height adjustment and horizontal adjustment through horizontal mechanism, meeting the high-precision assembly requirements of ship sections and reducing the rework rate of pre-assembly of sections. By using adapter component 4 to adapt to curved surface section components, the clamping mechanism can clamp curved surface components, adapting to ship section components of different sizes and shapes, improving reuse rate, and reducing manufacturing costs and inventory backlog.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the vertical mechanism includes: a control switch 22, a hydraulic pump 23, and a hydraulic cylinder 24; The hydraulic pump 23 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 24 via an oil pipe. The hydraulic cylinder 24 is mounted on the base assembly 1. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 is connected to the support column 21. The control switch 22 is mounted on the base assembly 1 and is used to control the opening or closing of the hydraulic pump 23.

[0021] The height component 2 also includes: a locking pin 25 and an electromagnetic drive component; The electromagnetic drive is located on the top of the support column 21. The output end of the electromagnetic drive is connected to the locking pin 25. The support column 21 and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 24 are both provided with positioning holes. The electromagnetic drive is used to drive the locking pin 25 to be inserted into the two positioning holes.

[0022] In this embodiment, the support column 21 is made of seamless steel pipe. The support column 21 has an internal hydraulic chamber and millimeter-level graduations on the outside, allowing operators to easily read and adjust the height. The control switch 22 is a foot-operated switch; the operator can step on the control switch 22 to drive the hydraulic cylinder 24 to extend and retract, thereby raising and lowering the positioning beam 31. This eliminates the need for a large external hydraulic system, improving operational flexibility. When the height is adjusted to the target value, the electromagnetic drive unit drives the locking pin 25 to insert into the positioning hole between the support column 21 and the cylinder piston rod, achieving mechanical locking and preventing height deviation due to hydraulic leakage. After locking, the height deviation is ≤0.03mm. The electromagnetic drive unit is a conventional electromagnetic control component.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the transverse mechanism includes: a transverse slider 32, a lead screw, and a transverse motor 33; The positioning beam 31 has a sliding groove, the transverse slider 32 is slidably disposed on the positioning beam 31 and cooperates with the sliding groove, the output end of the transverse motor 33 is connected to the lead screw, the transverse slider 32 is disposed on the lead screw, and the clamping mechanism is disposed on the transverse slider 32.

[0024] In this embodiment, the positioning beam 31 is made of aluminum alloy profile. The upper surface of the positioning beam 31 is provided with a T-slot for installing the transverse slider 32. The position of the transverse slider 32 can be flexibly adjusted according to the width of the component. The transverse motor 33 drives the lead screw to rotate, which drives the transverse slider 32 to move along the T-slot to achieve transverse positioning. The positioning speed is 0-10mm / s, and the positioning position can be set by a handheld controller.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes: a clamping cylinder, a clamping arm 34, and an anti-slip pad 35; The clamping cylinder is mounted on the transverse slider 32, and the output end of the clamping cylinder is connected to the clamping arm 34. The anti-slip pad 35 is mounted on the clamping arm 34 and is located on the contact surface between the clamping arm 34 and the component.

[0026] In this embodiment, the clamping cylinder drives the clamping arm 34 to press the surface of the component, and the anti-slip pad 35 can prevent damage to the surface of the component during clamping, while enhancing the clamping stability and preventing the component from sliding.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, the adapter component 4 includes: an elastic substrate 41, a flexible layer 42, and a pressure sensor; The elastic substrate 41 is connected to the output end of the clamping mechanism. The elastic substrate 41 is bent according to the shape of the curved segmented component. A flexible layer 42 is provided on the side of the elastic substrate 41 that contacts the component. A pressure sensor is provided between the elastic substrate 41 and the flexible layer 42.

[0028] The elastic substrate 41 is made of thin spring steel and has good elastic deformation capability, which can be bent according to the shape of the curved component. The elastic substrate 41 has uniformly distributed mounting holes. The flexible layer 42 is pasted on the side of the elastic substrate 41 that contacts the component. It is made of silicone and has a honeycomb-shaped reinforcing structure embedded inside. It can fill the tiny bumps and depressions on the surface of the component under the action of clamping force to achieve a tight fit with a gap of ≤0.1mm. Pressure sensors are evenly arranged between the elastic substrate 41 and the flexible layer 42 to monitor the pressure distribution on the bonding surface in real time. The pressure signal is transmitted to the handheld controller. When the pressure in a certain area is lower than 50N, the controller reminds the operator to adjust the clamping force to ensure uniform pressure on the bonding surface and avoid excessive local pressure that could cause component deformation.

[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes: a base 11, a counterweight 12, and a level calibrator 13; The lower surface of the base 11 is provided with a rubber pad, the upper surface of the base 11 is provided with a counterweight 12, the level calibrator 13 is provided on the upper surface of the base 11 and is located in the middle of the base 11, and the level calibrator 13 is connected to an alarm device.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base 11 is made of high-strength Q345 steel and has a regular hexagonal structure. The lower surface of the base 11 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad to prevent the tooling from sliding on the workshop floor. The upper surface of the base 11 is provided with a connecting flange for connection with the vertical mechanism. The counterweight 12 is a detachable cast iron block, which is fixed to the base 11 around by bolts. The weight of a single counterweight 12 is 50-100kg. The number of counterweights 12 can be increased or decreased according to the load supported by the tooling to ensure the overall stability of the tooling and prevent tipping. The level calibrator 13 is embedded in the upper surface of the base 11 and displays the levelness of the base 11 in real time through an LED display screen. When the levelness deviation exceeds 0.1mm / m, an audible and visual alarm is automatically issued to remind the operator to make adjustments.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it also includes: quick-connect mechanism 5; The quick-connect mechanism 5 is located at the connection between the base assembly 1 and the vertical mechanism, and at the connection between the positioning beam 31 and the support column 21.

[0032] The quick-connect mechanism 5 includes: a connector plug, a connector flange, a positioning pin, and a locking mechanism; The connector is located at the bottom of the vertical mechanism or the bottom of the positioning beam 31. The connecting flange is located at the top of the support column 21 or on the base assembly 1. The outer surface of the connector is provided with a guide slope. The positioning pins are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connector for connecting the connector to the connecting flange. The locking mechanism is used to lock the connector to the connecting flange.

[0033] In this embodiment, the connector is located at the bottom of the vertical mechanism or the bottom of the positioning beam 31. The outer surface of the connector has a guide slope with an inclination angle of 15° to facilitate quick insertion into the connecting flange. Positioning pins are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connector. After the connector is inserted into the connecting flange, the positioning pins automatically pop out and insert into the positioning holes of the connecting flange to achieve initial positioning with a positioning deviation of ≤0.05mm. The locking mechanism adopts a ball-type locking structure, including locking balls and springs. After the connector is inserted into place, the spring pushes the balls into the annular groove of the connecting flange to achieve quick locking. The disassembly force after locking must reach more than 300N to ensure connection reliability. During disassembly, pressing the unlock button compresses the spring, causing the balls to disengage from the annular groove for quick disassembly. The assembly and disassembly time for a single module is ≤1min.

[0034] Above, refer to Figures 1-6 This invention describes an adjustment device for ship section construction according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device achieves precise positioning of components on the clamping mechanism through a vertical mechanism for height adjustment and a horizontal mechanism for lateral adjustment, meeting the high-precision assembly requirements of ship sections and reducing the rework rate of pre-assembly. By using an adapter component 4 to adapt to curved section components, the clamping mechanism can clamp curved components, enabling it to adapt to ship section components of different sizes and shapes, improving reuse rate, and reducing manufacturing costs and inventory backlog.
