ASSEMBLY OF CYLINDRICAL INSERTS FOR LARGE-CAPACITY VESSELS FROM SEMI-BLOCKS AND TURN-TABLE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B63B9/06 B63B9/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: this process comprises transfer of assembled semi-units at slip (vertical) position on tail train to slip. Said semi-units fitted at slip beams on trucks of vessel train are transferred to turn table. Said turn table turns every ever semi-unit through 180 degrees. Then, slip beams (supports) with semi-unit are lifted for their side displacement by hydraulic system. Wheelbase of vessel carrier-trucks are turned through 90 degrees to shift over transverses tracks to LH or RH slip tracks. Jobs are reiterated for turn of bogie base through 90 degrees. Semi-unit supports are lowered on trucks to carry to standard position of slip, where every next semi-unit is coupled with that of opposite side in CL. Here, in the frame plane, these are coupled with cylindrical insert finished part and son and so forth. Invention covers also the design of turn table to this end.

EFFECT: lower labour input, accelerated process.
