Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of top-mount tooling technology, and particularly relates to an adjustable top-mount tooling. Background Technology

[0002] When positioning and installing shipborne equipment, if it is necessary to control the accuracy of the installation position or if there are clearance requirements, it is usually necessary to repeatedly move the equipment to adjust the positioning accuracy and clearance. The whole operation process is cumbersome, inefficient and labor-intensive.

[0003] To improve assembly accuracy, feeler gauges, top brackets, and other tooling are typically used for positioning and installation. When adjusting equipment with gaps in the positioning process, these tooling top brackets are always necessary. This usually involves drilling tooling holes in the equipment's surface, tapping, and installing tooling screws. Furthermore, when multi-directional positioning is required, tooling top brackets need to be welded and installed on the equipment surface in all four directions (front, back, left, and right). The entire process is cumbersome, results in significant accuracy fluctuations, is unsatisfactory, and involves some degree of damage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an adjustable top bracket tooling, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problems of cumbersome operation, unsatisfactory accuracy, and high labor intensity when using top brackets and other tooling during shipboard equipment assembly. Therefore,

[0005] One aspect of this application provides an adjustable top clamp fixture, comprising:

[0006] The top bracket includes a support base, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm is disposed on the support base, and the second arm is connected to the first arm.

[0007] A fixing mechanism is provided on the support base to adapt and install the support base onto the site foundation;

[0008] The first adjusting top bracket is movably connected to the first support arm in a first direction;

[0012] An adjusting element is sleeved on the positioning screw, and the adjusting element is located between the first end of the positioning screw and the support base;

[0013] A lock nut is screwed onto the second end of the positioning screw.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first end of the positioning lead screw is provided with a welding pad for matching spot welding to the field foundation.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in this application. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0034] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0035] This application provides an adjustable top bracket tooling, which aims to solve, to at least some extent, the technical problems of cumbersome operation, unsatisfactory accuracy, and high labor intensity when using top brackets and other tooling during the assembly of shipborne equipment.

[0036] See Figure 1Therefore, this application provides an adjustable top bracket tooling, which integrates adjustable top bracket structures in two directions to accurately position multiple surfaces of the equipment and thus achieve positioning and installation.

[0037] Specifically, the adjustable top bracket fixture includes: a top bracket support 1, a fixing mechanism 2, a first adjusting top bracket 3, and a second adjusting top bracket 4; the fixing mechanism 2, the first adjusting top bracket 3, and the second adjusting top bracket 4 are respectively installed on the top bracket support 1.

[0038] The top bracket 1 serves as the installation and load-bearing foundation for the adjustable top bracket fixture. The top bracket 1 includes a support base 11, a first support arm 12, and a second support arm 13. The first support arm 12 is mounted on the support base 11, and the second support arm 13 is connected to the first support arm 12. Thus, based on the support base 11, a support frame structure with a certain extension range is formed by the second support arm 13 and the first support arm 12 to adapt to multiple surfaces of the equipment 5 to be installed.

[0039] The first adjusting top bracket 3 is movably connected to the first support arm 12 along the first direction X, and the second adjusting top bracket 4 is movably connected to the second support arm 13 along the second direction Y. Thus, the first adjusting top bracket 3 and the second adjusting top bracket 4 can respectively abut against multiple surfaces of the device 5 to be installed, thereby accurately positioning the device 5 to be installed.

[0040] Generally, the second direction Y is orthogonal to the first direction X, thereby stabilizing the two orthogonal surfaces of the device and ensuring positioning accuracy.

[0041] It is worth noting that, since the first adjusting top code 3 and the second adjusting top code 4 can move along the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively, the ejection length can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual positioning gap and position requirements, thereby adapting to various positioning needs, having a large range of adaptability, simplifying positioning operations to a certain extent, and improving positioning accuracy.

[0042] The fixing mechanism 2 is disposed on the support base 11 and is used to adapt and install the support base 11 onto the site foundation.

[0043] In some embodiments, the fixing mechanism 2 adopts a fixed adjustable functional mechanism to adjust the fixed height of the top bracket 1 to adapt to different devices.

[0044] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 2 includes a positioning screw 21, an adjusting component 22, and a locking nut 23.

[0045] The positioning screw 21 is axially movable and embedded in the positioning hole 11a opened on the support base 11, thereby positioning the support base 11. The first end of the positioning screw 21 is configured to connect to the on-site foundation, thereby fixing the positioning screw 21 to the on-site foundation, and indirectly positioning and installing the support base 11 on the on-site foundation.

[0046] The adjusting component 22 is sleeved on the positioning screw 21, and the adjusting component 22 is located between the first end of the positioning screw 21 and the support base 11, thereby adjusting the distance between the support base 11 and the site foundation, that is, adjusting the support height of the support base 11 to accommodate equipment 5 to be installed at different heights.

[0047] The locking nut 23 is screwed onto the second end of the positioning screw 21, thereby locking the support 11 onto the positioning screw 21 to ensure the stability of its position and posture.

[0048] In some embodiments, in order to adapt to on-site working conditions such as ships, the positioning screw 21 can be spot welded to the site. For this purpose, a welding pad 21a can be provided at the first end of the positioning screw 21 to match the spot welding on the site foundation.

[0049] It is worth noting that the pad 21a can increase the contact area between the positioning screw 21 and the foundation to a certain extent, thereby improving the positioning stability of the positioning screw 21 and ensuring positioning accuracy.

[0050] On the other hand, the solder pad 21a can increase the range of solder joint selection, thereby enabling reuse and extending service life.

[0051] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 22 includes a plurality of shims, which can be added or removed to adjust the support height.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to accurately add or remove shims, the positioning screw 21 is provided with a first marking scale along the length direction, thereby enabling precise adjustment of the support height.

[0053] In some embodiments, in order to flexibly adjust the position of the top bracket, the first adjusting top bracket 3 may include a first screw 31, which may be screwed into the first adjusting screw hole 12a on the first support arm 12, and the axial direction of the first screw 31 is set along the first direction X, so that the first screw 31 can be rotated to adjust the ejection length of the first screw 31 in the first direction X, so as to adjust the positioning position in the first direction X.

[0054] In some embodiments, in order to improve positioning adjustment efficiency, a second marking scale is provided on the first screw 31 along the length direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, in order to flexibly adjust the position of the top bracket, the second adjusting top bracket 4 includes a second screw 41, which can be screwed into the second adjusting screw hole 13a on the second support arm 13, and the axial direction of the second screw 41 is set along the second direction Z, so that the second screw 41 can be rotated to adjust the ejection length of the second screw 41 in the second direction Y, so as to adjust the positioning position in the second direction Z.

[0056] In some embodiments, in order to improve positioning adjustment efficiency, a third marking scale is provided on the second screw 41 along the length direction.

[0057] In some embodiments, the top bracket 1 is configured as a Z-shaped bending member, thereby simplifying the structure of the structural device.

[0058] Generally, the first arm 12 and the second arm 13 are orthogonally arranged, and the area between them is used to accommodate one corner area of ​​the device 5 to be installed.

[0059] The embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

The top bracket bracket has a connected first arm and a second arm. The first adjustable top bracket and the second top bracket are respectively disposed on the first arm and the second arm, thereby forming a bracket with a certain expansion range on the support base, which can adapt to multiple surfaces of the equipment to be installed. The first adjustable top bracket and the second top bracket abut against the multiple surfaces of the equipment to be installed, thereby simplifying the top bracket positioning operation and achieving efficient positioning and assembly. At the same time, since the first adjustable top bracket and the second top bracket are disposed on the top bracket bracket fixed to the site foundation, a stable and unified benchmark guides the positioning, thereby ensuring assembly accuracy. In addition, since positioning and assembly can be simplified, the labor intensity of the assembly operation is reduced to a certain extent.
