With the continuous development of the global ship trade, the production of mechanical forgings in ship ports plays an increasingly significant role in the industrial field. However, in the production process, noise and vibration problems are widespread, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of employees and the stability of equipment. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the noise and vibration control in the production of ship port machinery forgings.
Noise and vibration control is very important in the production of mechanical forgings in ship ports. First of all, long-term exposure to noise and vibration may lead to hearing loss, cardiovascular disease and other health problems, affecting the health of employees. Secondly, noise and vibration can lead to premature wear of equipment, reducing the service life of equipment and increasing maintenance costs. In addition, excessive noise and vibration will also have an impact on the surrounding environment, interfering with the life and work of surrounding residents. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to control the noise and vibration in the production of mechanical forgings in ship ports.
In the production of mechanical forgings in ship ports, the noise and vibration are mainly caused by the following reasons:
Production process: Some production processes such as metal cutting, forging, etc., produce large noise and vibration.
Equipment characteristics: some equipment such as forging hammer, cutting machine, etc., will produce a certain amount of noise and vibration during operation.
Other factors, such as uneven ground and improper installation of equipment, can also lead to vibration and noise.
In view of the above causes of noise and vibration, the following control measures can be taken:
Improve the production process: by optimizing the production process, try to choose a low noise production process, such as the use of CNC water cutting and other low noise cutting methods.
Reasonable installation of sound insulation equipment: set up sound insulation equipment near the noise source, such as installing sound insulation cover, shock absorption pad, etc., to reduce the spread of noise and vibration.
Optimize the layout of the equipment: arrange the layout of the equipment reasonably and try to avoid mutual interference between the devices.
Strengthen equipment maintenance: Regularly maintain and overhaul the equipment to ensure stable operation of the equipment and reduce noise and vibration caused by equipment failures.
Taking a ship port machinery forging enterprise as an example, the enterprise is faced with serious noise and vibration problems in the production process. To address these issues, the company has taken the following measures:
Equipment transformation: The equipment with large noise and vibration is transformed, such as the use of new forging process to reduce the noise and vibration in the forging process. At the same time, strengthen the equipment foundation to improve the stability of the equipment.
Soundproof facilities: soundproof equipment and shock absorption devices are installed in the production workshop and equipment, such as soundproof enclosures, shock absorption pads, etc., effectively reducing the spread of noise and vibration.
Optimize the layout: adjust the layout of the production workshop to make the equipment independent from each other and reduce mutual interference. At the same time, the production line is optimized to make the production process smoother and improve the production efficiency.
Health protection: Strengthen the health protection measures for employees, such as regular hearing examination, equipping employees with protective equipment, etc., to ensure the physical and mental health of employees.
After the implementation of the above measures, the noise and vibration problems of the enterprise have been effectively controlled. After monitoring, the noise and vibration levels in the workshop are lower than the relevant national standards, and the working environment of employees has been significantly improved. At the same time, the stability and service life of the equipment have also been extended, saving a lot of maintenance costs for enterprises.
The control of noise and vibration in the production of mechanical forgings in ship ports is of great significance for ensuring the physical and mental health of employees and improving the stability of equipment. The generation and propagation of noise and vibration can be effectively reduced by improving production technology and setting sound insulation equipment reasonably. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous improvement of enterprises’ attention to the health of employees, the future production of ship port machinery forgings will pay more attention to green, environmental protection and healthy production methods, and strive to achieve sustainable development.
