The concavo-convex surface 40 may be a knurled surface 40a formed by a knurling process.

(18) In the meantime, in the strike assembly type fixing device for a shipyard according to the present invention, the inner circumferential surface of the fixing recess 11 of the fixing plate 10 and the outer circumferential surface of the lower end 22 of the fixture 20 may be formed with threads 111 and 221 so that the fixture 20 and the fixing plate 10 can be coupled to each other in a bolt-nut engagement manner.

(19) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 11 in the accompanying drawings. In the meantime, in the detailed description and the accompanying drawings, illustration and explanation on the construction and operation which a person skilled in the art can easily understand from a general fixing plate, a fixture, a scaffolding for working, a packing ring, a concavo-convex surface, a knurling process, and the like will be briefly made or will be omitted to avoid redundancy. In particular, in the detailed description and the accompanying drawings, illustration and explanation on the detailed technical construction and operation of elements, which have no direct connection with the technical features of the present invention, will be omitted, and only the technical constructions directly related with the present invention will be briefly illustrated and explained.

(20) In a best mode for carrying out the present invention, the strike assembly type fixing device 100 for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured to include a fixing plate 10, a fixture 20, and a packing ring 30 as shown in FIG. 2, and is aimed to securely fix a grating, a scaffolding for working, and the like, which are used in a shipyard.

(21) In another best mode of the present invention, the fixing plate 10 has a fixing recess 11 formed thereon. The fixing plate 10 may made of a rigid bottom material such as steel, concrete, rock, or the like. The fixture 20 is fixed to a preset position of the fixing plate 10, and a structure such as a grating or a scaffolding 200 for working is securely fixed to the fixing plate 10 by means of a separate fastening element 50, which is coupled to the fixture 20. The strike assembly type fixing device for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the fixture 20 to be securely fixed to the fixing plate 10 by virtue of improved fixation stability so as to minimize the occurrence of the danger of safety.

(22) The fixture 20 includes an upper end 21 that is having threads formed thereon so as to be coupled with a separate fastening element 50, a lower end 22 that is fittingly fixed to the fixing recess of the fixing plate 10, and a protruding flange 23 that is formed inclinedly downwardly along an outer circumferential surface of a connection portion between the upper end 21 and the lower end 22, wherein the upper end 21, the lower end 22, and the protruding flange 23 are formed integrally with each other. The fixture 20 may be made of a corrosion-resistant steel material. The upper end 21 of the fixture 20 may have male threads formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof or female threads formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and the fastening element 50 may be formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having female threads formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof or formed in a cylindrical shape having male threads formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof so as to correspond to the upper end 21 of the fixture 20.

(23) The protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed in a circular band shape having a concentric structure in such a manner that the top surface and the bottom surface thereof are formed curvedly as shown in FIG. 3. In particular, the protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention has an upwardly convex curved surface. By virtue of this shape structure, when the fixture 20 is fixed to the fixing plate 10 by a compressive force by strike, plastic deformation is induced to minimize a damage of the fixture 20 and an increase in the compressive force of the fixture 20 with respect to the fixing plate 10 promotes the improvement of a fixing force.

(24) The packing ring 30 is fitted around the lower end 22 of the fixture 20 so as to be brought into close contact with an underside of the protruding flange 23. The packing ring 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed in an annular ring shape having a preset thickness (d). Here, the packing ring 30 is preferably formed in such a manner as to be shaped to be protruded radially outwardly from an outer circumferential edge 232 of the protruding flange 23 as shown at the lower side of FIG. 2 when the fixture 20 is fixed to the fixing plate 10 by a compressive force by strike. In this case, the packing ring 30 may be made of a urethane rubber, NBR rubber or CR/EP rubber material. In particular, a portion of the packing ring 30, which is brought into close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the lower end 22 of the fixture 20, may be made of an NBR rubber material having a high oil resistance whereas a portion of the packing ring 30, which is brought into close contact with the protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 and the fixing plate 10, may be made of an urethane rubber material.

(25) In the strike assembly type fixing device 100 for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the fixture 20 is fixed to the fixing plate 10 by a compressive force by strike, the packing ring 30 is brought into close contact with the underside of the protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 and the surface of a peripheral portion of the fixing recess 11 of the fixing plate 10 while pressing the underside of the protruding flange 23 and the peripheral portion surface of the fixing recess 11 so as to prevent liquid, gas, or foreign substances from being introduced into a space defined between the fixture 20 and the fixing plate 10, and the fixture 20 is securely fixed to the fixing plate 10 while the protruding flange 23 formed integrally with the upper end 21 and the lower end 22 presses the peripheral portion surface of the fixing recess 11 so as to increase a fixing force as shown in FIG. 4.

(26) In the meantime, in the strike assembly type fixing device 100 for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixing plate 10 may be formed with a multi-stepped fixing recess 11 in which a lower recess 11a has a width smaller than that of an upper recess 11b so that the protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 can be fittingly seated on the upper recess 11b of the fixing recess 11. In this case, since the protruding flange 23 is fittingly seated on the upper recess 11b in a state of being curved, the protruding flange 23 is tightly fitted into the upper recess 11b so that the fixing force of the fixture 20 is improved. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the outer circumferential surface of the protruding flange 23 of the fixture 20 may be implemented as a release-preventive patterning surface 231. By virtue of this configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, when the fixture 20 is insertedly fixed to the fixing plate 10, the release-preventive patterning surface 231 of the protruding flange 23 comes into close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the upper recess 11b so that the coupling force of the fixture 20 with respect to the fixing plate 10 can be further increased to prevent a release of the fixture 20 from the fixing plate 10.

(27) Further, in the strike assembly type fixing device for a shipyard according to the present invention, an outer circumferential surface of the lower end 22 of the fixture 20 may be implemented as a concavo-convex surface 40 formed with a repeated concavo-convex pattern. In addition, an inner circumferential surface of the fixing recess 11 of the fixing plate 10 may be implemented as a concavo-convex surface 40 formed with a repeated concavo-convex pattern. The concavo-convex surface 40 may be a knurled surface 40a formed by a knurling process. By virtue of this concavo-convex surface structure, the fixture 20 is securely fixed to the fixing plate 10 without any slippery movement as well as the integration of the coupling portions between the fixture 20 an the fixing plate 10 is induced so that the fixation stability of the fixture 20 can be improved.

(28) In the meantime, in the strike assembly type fixing device 100 for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention, the inner circumferential surface of the fixing recess 11 of the fixing plate 10 and the outer circumferential surface of the lower end 22 of the fixture 20 may be formed with threads 111 and 221 so that the fixture 20 and the fixing plate 10 can be coupled to each other in a bolt-nut engagement manner as shown in FIG. 8. By virtue of this fixture and fixing plate coupling structure, the fixing operation of the fixture 20 with respect to the fixing plate can be performed even without a separate fixture-strike tool.

(29) As shown in FIG. 9, a ratio of an effective diameter D to an outer diameter D of the lower end 22 of the fixture 20 is set to be larger so that the fixing force of the fixture with respect to the fixing plate 10 can be further increased.

(30) In the strike assembly type fixing device 100 for a shipyard according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown FIGS. 10 and 11, the fixture 20 is insertedly fixed to the fixing plate 10, and the fastening element 50 passes through the scaffolding fixture 60 disposed on the top surface of the scaffolding 200 for working to allow the scaffolding fixture 60 to be coupled to the fixture 20 so that the scaffolding 200 for working can be rigidly fixed to the fixing plate 10. In this case, an identification medium 70 is formed on the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 and/or the top surface of the fastening element 50 so that the scaffolding fixture 60 can be identified at night time or under low illumination conditions such as a dark work environment where the light is dim. The identification medium 70 may be formed of a fluorescent material applied or coated on the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 or the fastening element 50 to emit light by a light stimulus, a nightglow material applied or coated on the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 or the fastening element 50 to absorb light and then maintain a light emitting state while releasing light upon the elimination of light, a light emitting element coupled to the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 or the fastening element 50 to emit light by being supplied with electric power, or a reflector or a delineator coupled to the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 or the fastening element 50 to reflect light beam.

(31) The scaffolding fixture 60 is disposed on the top surface of the scaffolding 200 for working, which is positioned on the fixing plate 10, so as to allow the scaffolding 200 for working to be securely fixed to the fixing plate 10. The scaffolding fixture 60 has a through-hole 61 formed at the center thereof. The fastening element 50 is disposed on the top side of the scaffolding fixture 60. The fastening element 50 passes through the through-hole 61 of the scaffolding fixture 60 so as to be coupled to the upper end 21 of the fixture 20 insertedly fixed to the fixing plate 10, and presses the top surface of the scaffolding fixture 60 in a state of being coupled to the upper end 21 of the fixture 20 to allow the scaffolding 200 for working to be securely fixed to the fixing plate 10.
