Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship parts installation technology, and in particular to a ship parts installation alignment and positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] A ship is a man-made means of transportation that primarily operates in water. Its shape is generally a streamlined envelope that helps overcome fluid resistance. Materials used are constantly evolving with technological advancements; early ships used natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and hemp, while modern ships primarily use steel, aluminum, fiberglass, acrylic, and various composite materials. After production, ship components require assembly.

[0003] The stern shaft is an important component of the ship's propulsion system. There are several ways to install the propeller on the stern shaft. One way is to connect the propeller directly to the stern shaft, and another way is to connect the stern shaft and the propeller through a coupling. Therefore, the fit and assembly quality of the coupling and the stern shaft are of paramount importance.

[0004] In existing sliding rail type propeller coupling devices, due to the large size and weight of the stern shaft, manual operation of the clamps for fixing can easily cause the stern shaft to shift or wobble during the fixing process, resulting in the mating surfaces between the propeller and the stern shaft not achieving a good contact state. Utility Model Content

A bidirectional lead screw is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the second motor, and a set of second sliders is mated and installed at the threaded ends of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by activating the second hydraulic cylinder to move the propeller clamping mechanism downward, and then by driving the bidirectional screw to rotate via the second motor, the position between the two sets of clamping blocks is adjusted so that the two sets of clamping blocks can clamp the propeller and place the stern shaft inside the first V-groove and the third V-groove. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder is activated to press down the second V-groove, and the stern shaft is clamped and secured with the cooperation of the second V-groove and the first V-groove.
