The clamping mechanism 102 is connected to the trolley body 101 through the extension mechanism 103, and is used to clamp a gasket. The extension mechanism 103 can drive the clamping mechanism 102 to move the gasket away from or close to a welding seam.

[0038] In an embodiment, the trolley body 101 has a base 1010 at the bottom of the trolley body. The base 1010 is mainly used to support the trolley body and other components, and the specific structure of the base is not limited in the present application. The base can also be a plate structure or a truss structure. In an embodiment, the base 1010 has support structures at the front and rear ends, which are used to support related components. In an embodiment, the support structures are support plates 1016, including front support plates 1016a and rear support plates 1016b. The outer contour shape of the support plates matches the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity of the to-be-welded object.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the trolley body 101 has a walking device for supporting the trolley body to walk. Specifically, it includes walking wheels 1014. The walking wheels are located at the bottom of the trolley body, and specifically, the walking wheels are arranged on the base. In the present embodiment, there are four walking wheels, one on each of the front, rear, left and right sides. The walking direction of the walking wheels is along the front-rear direction of the trolley body, i.e. the welding direction of the to-be-welded object.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the trolley body 101 has a guiding device for positioning and guiding when the trolley body moves. Specifically, the guiding device includes guiding wheels 1015. In an embodiment, the guiding wheels 1015 are located on both sides of the trolley body, one on each of the front and rear sides, a total of four guiding wheels, which are used to contact the inner wall of the to-be-welded object for positioning and guiding. Specifically, the guiding wheels 1015 are arranged on the support plates 1016, one guiding wheel on each of the left and right sides of the front and rear support plates. The rotation shaft direction of the guiding wheels is approximately vertical. In an embodiment, the guiding wheels are installed at the lower part of the front and rear support plates. In an embodiment, a set of left and right guiding wheels can also be installed in the middle part of the base 1010. The outer contour shape of the support plates matches the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity of the to-be-welded object, and by installing guiding wheels on the support plates, the distance between the trolley body and the to-be-welded object is ensured to be constant, preventing the trolley body from deviating during operation.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the trolley body comprises a trolley driving device for driving the trolley body to move along the welding direction. In an embodiment, the trolley driving device comprises a trolley driving motor 1011, a speed reducer 1012, and a transmission mechanism 1013. The trolley driving motor 1011 is arranged on the base, one side of the speed reducer 1012 is connected with the trolley driving motor 1011, the other side of the speed reducer 1012 is connected with the transmission mechanism 1013, and the specific structure of the transmission mechanism 1013 is not limited. In an embodiment, the transmission mechanism comprises a transmission shaft and / or a chain, which is in transmission connection with the walking wheel 1014. The power output by the speed reducer 1012 is transmitted to the roller 1014 through the transmission shaft and / or the chain, to drive the roller to rotate and move the trolley body. One side of the transmission mechanism 1013 is connected with the front support plate 1016a, and the front support plate 1016a is provided with a jack for control cable and power line, to facilitate wiring.

[0042] In an embodiment, a support rod 1017 is arranged between the front support plate 1016a and the rear support plate 1016b, and the number of the support rods is preferably 2-3. One support rod is arranged on the side where the clamping mechanism 102 is arranged, and 1-2 support rods are arranged on the side where the clamping mechanism 102 is not arranged. The trolley driving motor 1011, the speed reducer 1012, etc. are located in the space formed by the support rods and the front and rear support plates. The support rods can strengthen the strength and stability of the trolley body, and effectively protect the driving device on the trolley body.

[0043] In an embodiment, an encoder 1019 is arranged on the inner side of the rear support plate 1016b. The encoder is used for speed control of the longitudinal movement of the trolley body. The encoder feeds back the rotating speed to the PLC through the counting wheel to calculate the real-time running speed of the welding gasket support device. After the PLC compares the speed, the trolley driving motor speed is controlled to ensure that the welding gasket support device and the outer welding equipment have the same moving speed.

[0044] In an embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 103 comprises a telescopic rod 1018 and a telescopic driving source 1012. The telescopic driving source drives the telescopic rod to telescope, thereby driving the clamping mechanism to make the gasket away from or close to the weld. In an embodiment, the telescopic driving source 1012 is an electric driving source. The trolley body 101 and the clamping mechanism 102 are connected through the telescopic rod 1018, which is controlled by electricity. After the telescopic rod 1018 is extended, the clamping mechanism is pushed, so that the gasket on the clamping mechanism is attached to the weld. In an embodiment, the telescopic driving source 1012 is a telescopic driving motor.

[0045] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism is arranged on one side of the trolley body. In this embodiment, the guide wheels are arranged on the side of the front and rear support plates without the clamping mechanism. Of course, the guide wheels can be arranged on both sides of the front and rear support plates. The distance of the guide wheels extending out is accurately calculated so that when the guide wheels contact the object to be welded, the gasket can be in close contact with the back of the weld to prevent the clamping mechanism from colliding with the object to be welded and to play a protective role. Of course, the clamping mechanism can also be arranged on both sides of the trolley body according to needs.

[0046] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , the clamping mechanism 102 includes a base, a first limiting structure, a second limiting structure, and a limiting clamping structure. The first limiting structure is arranged at one end of the base, and the limiting clamping structure is arranged at the other end of the base. The first limiting structure and the limiting clamping structure are used to longitudinally clamp the gasket 1024. The second limiting structure is arranged above the base. The base has a protruding structure. The second limiting structure and the protruding structure are used to limit the vertical movement of the gasket.

[0047] In one embodiment, the material of the base is copper. Specifically, the base includes a copper sleeve 1022. The gasket 1024 is a ceramic gasket.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first limiting structure is detachably arranged at one end of the base. In one embodiment, the first limiting structure includes a clamping groove 1027 and a limiting plate 1023. The clamping groove is located between the base and the second limiting structure, and the limiting plate can be inserted into the clamping groove. It can be understood that the clamping groove can be directly formed by the base itself or by the gap between the base and the second limiting structure. By arranging the clamping groove structure, the end of the gasket can be limited and fixed, and the gasket can be conveniently disassembled. The material of the limiting plate 1023 can be ordinary carbon steel.

[0049] In one embodiment, the limiting clamping structure is used to generate a longitudinal clamping force to clamp the gasket. In one embodiment, the limiting clamping structure includes an elastic element for generating a longitudinal elastic force to clamp the gasket. In one embodiment, the limiting clamping structure includes a compression spring 1026 and a pressing plate 1025. One end of the compression spring is connected with the base, and the other end of the compression spring is in abutment with one side of the pressing plate. The other side of the pressing plate is used to place the gasket. The material of the pressing plate 1025 can be ordinary carbon steel. It can be understood that the limiting clamping structure can also include a spring guide column. One end of the guide column is fixedly connected with the base, and the other end of the guide column is fixedly connected with the pressing plate. The compression spring is sleeved on the guide column. The guide column is telescopic. The pressing plate is abutted on the gasket by the pressure of the compression spring to limit the longitudinal movement of the gasket.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping mechanism 102 can clamp a group of gaskets by setting the limiting clamping structure, and the group of gaskets can include a plurality of gaskets which can be clamped in the longitudinal direction. In one embodiment, the group of gaskets includes 6-8 gaskets. The total length of the group of gaskets is 180-220 mm. In one embodiment of the present application, the group of gaskets includes 7 gaskets. The limiting clamping structure of the present application provides a longitudinal elastic force to tightly press the group of gaskets. When a gasket is damaged, the compression spring can still tightly press the remaining gaskets. In one embodiment, at least 6 gaskets can be tightly pressed.

[0051] In one embodiment, the second limiting structure is detachably connected above the base body, and the second limiting structure includes a cover plate 1021. The cover plate 1021 is connected to the upper part of the copper sleeve 1022 by a screw. The material of the cover plate 1021 can be ordinary carbon steel.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the second limiting structure includes a first plate 1021a and a second plate 1021b, and the second plate is downwardly bent to form an angle with the first plate to limit the lateral movement of the gasket.

[0053] In one embodiment, the angle formed by the downward bending of the second plate with the first plate is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the gasket. It can be understood that the shape of the gasket is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the object to be welded, and specifically, the shape of the fitting weld. In the present embodiment, the object to be welded is a U-rib plate unit, and the gasket fits the longitudinal weld corner of the U-rib. The cross-sectional base angle (the angle of the fitting weld) of the gasket is adapted to the angle formed by the U-rib and the steel plate at the weld. In one embodiment, the angle formed by the U-rib and the steel plate is 76 degrees, and accordingly, the cross-sectional base angle of the gasket is 76 degrees, and the angle formed by the downward bending of the second plate with the first plate is 104 degrees.

[0054] For the vertical limiting and fixing of the gasket and the clamping mechanism, a fixed protruding structure can be provided on one side of the base body, and the side of the gasket in contact with the base body is provided with a structure matching the protruding structure of the base body. The shape of the protruding structure can be a mortise and tenon structure.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, the protruding structure of the base body 1022 is a longitudinal extension protrusion 1022a, and the side of the gasket in contact with the base body has a concave structure 1024a matching the protruding structure of the base body. Preferably, the cross-section of the protrusion is a circular arc shape. By using a circular arc protrusion, the side of the gasket is a circular arc concave structure, which is convenient to process, easy to position, and convenient to install and disassemble.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the protruding structure of the base, the structure matching the protruding structure of the base on the side of the gasket in contact with the base, and the first plate and the second plate forming a certain angle of the second limiting structure can effectively fix the gasket vertically and horizontally, and facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the side of the gasket in contact with the second plate of the second limiting structure has a boss 1024b, and the width of the boss is adapted to the thickness of the second plate. By setting the width of the boss of the gasket to be adapted to the thickness of the second plate, the side of the gasket in contact with the object to be welded can be on a line, and the fit is more close.

[0058] Referring to Figure 3 For the specific structure of the telescopic mechanism 103, in an embodiment, the base 1010 has two square tables on the side close to the clamping mechanism 102, each square table has a telescopic drive motor, and one end of the telescopic rod 1018 is located in the square table and connected to the telescopic drive motor. The other end of the telescopic rod 1018 is connected to the right angle joint 1031, and the other end of the right angle joint 1031 is connected to the copper sleeve 1022. After the telescopic rod 1018 is powered on, the telescopic drive motor on the side of the telescopic rod is turned forward, the telescopic rod is extended, the right angle joint 1031 is driven by the telescopic rod to push the gasket to the weld, so that the gasket is fitted with the weld, and after the welding is completed, the telescopic drive motor is reversed, the telescopic rod is retracted, the right angle joint 1031 is driven by the telescopic rod to retract, and the gasket 102 is away from the weld. Of course, the telescopic mechanism 103 can also include a rotating rod, which can rotate up and down, for lifting the copper sleeve 1022 upward. In an embodiment, the telescopic rod 1018 itself is also a rotating rod, which can rotate up and down.

[0060] The gasket is a ceramic gasket; the group of gaskets includes 6-8 gaskets; and the length of the group of gaskets is 180-220 mm. It can be understood that the length of each gasket and the number of gaskets can be adjusted as needed. By providing a plurality of gaskets and setting the total length of the gasket group to be 180-220 mm, the gasket can still completely cover the welding points of the weld after a certain gasket is damaged.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the welding gasket clamping structure is assembled by fixing the cover plate 1021 on the copper sleeve 1022 by screws, forming a gasket clamping space between the cover plate and the copper sleeve, which can limit the vertical and horizontal displacement of the gasket, then inserting the gaskets 1024 one by one from one end of the clamping groove 1027, after all the gaskets are inserted, pressing the gaskets, one end of the gasket abutting against the pressing plate 1025 of the limiting clamp structure, and further compressing the compression spring 1026, then inserting the limiting plate 1023 into the clamping groove 1027, and the gasket is limited in the longitudinal direction.
