Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining equipment technology, and in particular to a machining fixture for large thin-walled fixed-distance rings. Background Technology

[0002] The stern shaft sealing device is a crucial component for ensuring the tightness of the stern shaft lubrication system and preventing seawater from entering the stern tube. It is a core component for ensuring safe navigation. During navigation, the stainless steel bushing rotating with the stern shaft propeller constantly rubs against the sealing surface of the sealing device's seal. Over time, both the seal and the bushing surface wear down, and grooves gradually form on the stainless steel bushing surface. Therefore, for vessels undergoing special inspections, after the stern shaft is disassembled and inspected, the seal is generally replaced. The worn stainless steel bushing typically needs to be machined or polished on a lathe to remove wear marks, or the bushing surface can be repaired with a paint coating, or the entire bushing can be replaced. For vessels undergoing routine annual inspections, without disassembling the propeller, the seal is usually bonded in place, a half-type spacer ring is added or removed, and the entire sealing device is repositioned. This allows the bonded new seal to be moved a safe distance away from the worn grooves of the old seal, thereby extending the service life of the stainless steel bushing, ensuring sealing quality, shortening the cycle time, and saving costs.

[0003] To ensure the tightness and quality of the seals after installation, high requirements are placed on the parallelism, flatness, concentricity, fit tolerances of the centering groove and shoulder, and accuracy of the lap end face of the half-type spacer ring flange. However, due to the large size and thin thickness of the half-type spacer ring, the clamping force of the conventional clamping fixtures used in the machining process can easily cause deformation of the spacer ring, affecting the machining accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a machining fixture for large thin-walled fixed-distance rings to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The fixed-distance ring is coaxially set on the outside of the circular fixture plate and is detachably connected to the circular fixture plate by a plurality of screws. A plurality of process thread holes matching the process holes are uniformly opened on the outer end face of the circular fixture plate along the circumferential direction. The process thread holes correspond one-to-one with the screws. Each screw passes through the corresponding process hole on the fixed-distance ring and is threaded into the corresponding process thread hole in the circular fixture plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the machining fixture also includes a clamping mechanism for fixing the circular fixture plate, the clamping mechanism including a base, a backing, a C-shaped clamp, a tightening bolt, and a clamping plate; The backrest is set above the base and installed on the top surface of the base through the first connector.

A positioning hole matching the positioning post is opened on the circular tooling plate. The inner end face of the circular tooling plate is in contact with the reference surface, and the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole. The C-shaped clamp is movably clamped on the top of the support and cooperates with the reference surface of the support to form a groove for clamping the circular tooling plate. The C-shaped clamp is connected to the support by a first fastening bolt. The first fastening bolt is located on the side of the support away from the reference surface. The C-shaped clamp has a first threaded hole that matches the first fastening bolt. The first fastening bolt is threaded into the first threaded hole, and the end of the first fastening bolt abuts against the support. The tightening bolt is located below the C-shaped clamp and is positioned on the side of the backing plate closest to the reference surface. It is connected to the backing plate via a second connector. The tightening bolt is threaded onto the second connector, and the end of the tightening bolt is vertically pressed against the outer end face of the circular tooling plate. The clamping plate is located below the C-shaped clamp and on the side of the C-shaped clamp away from the tightening bolt. A first fixing block is provided on the top surface of the base. One side of the clamping plate is threadedly connected to the first fixing block by an adjusting bolt, and the other side presses against the outer end face of the circular tooling plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the support includes a base plate, a reference plate, and a rib plate. The base plate is horizontally set on the top surface of the base, and the reference plate is vertically welded to the top surface of the base plate and cooperates with the base plate to form an L-shaped structure. One end face of the reference plate is the reference surface. The rib plate is set on the side of the reference plate away from the reference surface. The rib plate is set perpendicular to the base plate and perpendicular to the reference plate. The two sides of the rib plate are welded to the base plate and the reference plate respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the first connecting member includes a second fixing block and a pressure plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamp plate has a waist-shaped hole, and the adjusting bolt is movably inserted into the waist-shaped hole.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are: The processing fixture of this utility model uses a hoisting method to fix a large thin-walled spacer ring on a circular fixture plate. By utilizing the process holes on the spacer ring and the screws evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the spacer ring, the spacer ring is fastened to the circular fixture plate, which can effectively prevent the spacer ring from deforming and achieve stable clamping of the spacer ring.

[0013] The clamping mechanism of this utility model uses the reference surface of the mountain as a reference. It uses C-shaped clamps, tightening bolts and clamping plates to cooperate with each other.
