AI Technical Summary
传统夹持方式多采用定制专用夹具,仅适配单一型号排气壳,更换不同规格产品时需重新设计并安装新夹具,导致装夹效率低下、重复定位精度差,难以满足现代船用柴油机多型号、小批量柔性生产的需求
[0012]通过将夹持功能模块化,把对接座与夹持台分离设置,一方面使得同一工作台可兼容多种夹持台,另一方面环形安装板上同时设置内圈安装孔和外圈安装孔,则直接对应船用燃气排气壳常见的两种或多种规格底板孔分布,该双圈孔布局无需更换整个工装,仅需选择对应圈层的孔位即可完成适配。因此,在装夹过程中,操作人员可根据实际排气壳型号灵活选用外圈或内圈安装孔进行螺栓紧固,显著提升了工装的通用性与适用范围;同时,因夹持台整体作为独立模块可预先装配好对应排气壳,现场仅需完成与工作台的快速对接,避免了在机床上逐个对孔、找正的繁琐操作,从而缩短了装夹准备时间,并减少了因频繁更换专用夹具带来的设备停机损失,为多品种、小批量的船舶动力部件柔性制造提供了高效、可靠的装夹基础。

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical tooling technology, and more specifically, it relates to a clamping tool for marine gas exhaust shells. Background Technology
[0002] In marine propulsion systems, the exhaust casing, as a key high-temperature pressure-bearing component of the turbocharger, has a complex structure and large size. During manufacturing, assembly, or testing, this component needs to be stably and accurately clamped onto the worktable. Traditional clamping methods often use custom-made special fixtures, which are only suitable for a single model of exhaust casing. When changing to different specifications, new fixtures need to be redesigned and installed, resulting in low clamping efficiency and poor repeatability, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern marine diesel engine multi-model, small-batch flexible production.
[0003] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a marine gas exhaust shell clamping tool to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art above, this utility model provides a marine gas exhaust shell clamping tool.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A marine gas exhaust shell clamping fixture includes a worktable and a clamping platform. A docking seat is provided on the worktable, and the clamping platform is detachably connected to the docking seat. An annular mounting plate is fixedly provided on the clamping platform. The upper surface of the mounting plate is provided with an outer ring mounting hole and an inner ring mounting hole arranged in an array around the circumference to adapt to gas exhaust shells of different specifications. The outer ring mounting hole and the inner ring mounting hole match the bottom plate hole of the gas exhaust shell and are connected by bolts.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes locating pins for insertion into at least two non-adjacent outer ring mounting holes and / or inner ring mounting holes.
[0007] Furthermore, a zero-point positioning system is installed on the docking seat, and a docking column corresponding to the zero-point positioning system is provided at the bottom of the clamping platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the docking seat is provided with at least two guide posts, and the clamping platform is provided with guide holes that match the guide posts.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with reinforcing ribs.
[0010] Furthermore, a lifting ring is provided around the outer peripheral wall of the docking seat.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] By modularizing the clamping function and separating the docking seat from the clamping table, the same worktable can be compatible with multiple clamping tables. Furthermore, the annular mounting plate simultaneously features inner and outer ring mounting holes, directly corresponding to the common bottom plate hole distributions of two or more specifications for marine gas exhaust casings. This dual-ring hole layout eliminates the need to replace the entire tooling; only the corresponding ring hole position needs to be selected for adaptation. Therefore, during clamping, operators can flexibly select either the outer or inner ring mounting holes for bolt tightening based on the actual exhaust casing model, significantly improving the tooling's versatility and applicability. Simultaneously, because the clamping table is a self-contained module that can be pre-assembled with the corresponding exhaust casing, only quick docking with the worktable is required on-site, avoiding the tedious operation of individually aligning holes on the machine tool. This shortens clamping preparation time and reduces equipment downtime losses caused by frequent changes to specialized fixtures, providing an efficient and reliable clamping foundation for the flexible manufacturing of diverse, small-batch marine power components.

[0017] The attached diagram is labeled as follows:
[0018] Workbench 1, clamping table 2, docking column 21, guide hole 22, annular mounting plate 3, reinforcing rib plate 31, outer ring mounting hole 32, inner ring mounting hole 33, positioning pin 4, docking seat 5, zero point positioning system 51, guide column 52, lifting ring 53, gas exhaust shell 6. Detailed Implementation
[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a marine gas exhaust casing clamping fixture includes a worktable 1 and a clamping platform 2. The worktable 1 is provided with a docking seat 5. The clamping platform 2 is detachably connected to the docking seat 5. An annular mounting plate 3 is fixedly provided on the clamping platform 2. The upper surface of the mounting plate is provided with an outer ring mounting hole 32 and an inner ring mounting hole 33 arranged in an array around the circumference to adapt to gas exhaust casings 6 of different specifications. The outer ring mounting hole 32 and the inner ring mounting hole 33 match the bottom plate holes of the gas exhaust casing 6 and are connected by bolts.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping function is modularized, and the docking seat 5 and the clamping table 2 are set separately. On the one hand, the same worktable 1 can be compatible with multiple clamping tables 2. On the other hand, the annular mounting plate 3 is equipped with inner ring mounting holes 33 and outer ring mounting holes 32, which directly correspond to the two or more common bottom plate hole distributions of marine gas exhaust shells 6. This double-ring hole layout does not require replacing the entire tooling; only the hole positions of the corresponding ring layer need to be selected for adaptation. Therefore, during the clamping process, the operator can flexibly select the outer ring or inner ring mounting holes 33 for bolt tightening according to the actual exhaust shell model, which significantly improves the versatility and applicability of the tooling. At the same time, since the clamping table 2 is an independent module that can be pre-assembled with the corresponding exhaust shell, only a quick docking with the worktable 1 needs to be completed on site, avoiding the tedious operation of aligning and finding holes one by one on the machine tool. This shortens the clamping preparation time and reduces equipment downtime losses caused by frequent changes of special fixtures, providing an efficient and reliable clamping foundation for the flexible manufacturing of multiple varieties and small batches of marine power components.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, a locating pin 4 is also included, which is used to insert into at least two non-adjacent outer ring mounting holes 32 and / or inner ring mounting holes 33. High-precision initial positioning can be completed before bolt pre-tightening, significantly reducing the phenomenon of forced bolt tightening caused by hole alignment deviation. This not only improves clamping reliability but also reduces the risk of thread damage, thereby ensuring repeatability and operational safety during the clamping process.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, a zero-point positioning system 51 is installed on the docking seat 5, and a docking post 21 corresponding to the zero-point positioning system 51 is provided at the bottom of the clamping table 2. Integrating the zero-point positioning system 51 on the docking seat 5 and configuring a matching docking post 21 at the bottom of the clamping table 2 forms a standardized quick interface between the clamping table 2 and the worktable 1.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the docking seat 5 is provided with at least two guide posts 52, and the clamping platform 2 is provided with guide holes 22 that match the guide posts 52. The provision of at least two guide posts 52 on the docking seat 5 and the provision of matching guide holes 22 on the clamping platform 2 constitute a mechanical guiding mechanism. When the clamping platform 2 approaches the docking seat 5, the guide posts 52 first enter the guide holes 22, providing coarse guidance for their relative position and preventing the docking posts 21 from skewing or colliding with the zero-point positioning system 51.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate is provided with a reinforcing rib 31. The reinforcing rib 31, by increasing the moment of inertia of the cross-section and distributing the load transmission path, suppresses the elastic deflection of the mounting plate under stress. This maintains the integrity of the surface contact between the exhaust shell bottom plate and the mounting plate, and also avoids structural fatigue cracking caused by localized stress concentration, thereby extending the service life of the clamping fixture and ensuring clamping stability.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, lifting rings 53 are provided around the outer periphery of the docking seat 5. The lifting rings 53 provided around the outer periphery of the docking seat 5 provide a standardized lifting and stress point for the entire clamping fixture. Because the marine gas exhaust casing 6 and its clamps are quite heavy, frequent handling requires the use of overhead cranes or hoisting equipment; without dedicated lifting points, operators often need to temporarily bind or hook non-load-bearing structures, which can easily cause the fixture to tip over, collide, or suffer structural damage.
[0026] The present invention has been described in detail above. The specific embodiments are provided only to help understand the method and core idea of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
