Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of diesel engine exhaust post-processing devices, and in particular to a heat insulation cover welding tool for an exhaust post-processing device. Background Art

[0002] As the fuel of the engine, diesel has the advantages of low cost, high output power, simple combustion system, etc. However, diesel engine emissions not only contain harmful pollutants such as CO, HC, NOx, etc. in gasoline engine emissions, but also particulate matter. The problem of air pollution has attracted global attention, and countries are introducing increasingly stringent emission regulations related to diesel and gasoline engines.

[0003] The existing methods for purifying diesel engine exhaust are to install an exhaust after-treatment device on the exhaust pipe to catalytically oxidize and reduce the nitrogen in the exhaust gas, thereby achieving exhaust purification. Since catalytic oxidation has temperature requirements, the outer cylinder of the diesel engine after-treatment device is designed to be wrapped with a heat insulation cover, and a layer of thermal insulation cotton is glued inside the heat insulation cover to achieve the thermal insulation effect requirements in a manner similar to "wearing a cotton-padded jacket".

[0004] For example, a Chinese invention patent with publication number CN213887949U discloses an insulation shell, also called a heat shield. When the insulation shell is used, it is necessary to weld the insulation shell to the outside of the post-processing device. Currently in production, the insulation shell is usually positioned by mechanical fixation when welding the insulation shell. However, the existing auxiliary equipment is not ideal for positioning the insulation shell. Since the insulation shell is thin, it is easy to damage the insulation shell, which increases the difficulty of welding work and affects the reliability of welding. Summary of the invention

[0027] See Figures 1 to 6 The heat shield welding tool of the exhaust gas post-treatment device of the present invention comprises a base 100, on which are provided:

[0028] The post-processing device positioning mechanism includes a post-processing device front positioning seat 200 and a post-processing device rear positioning seat 300. The post-processing device front positioning seat 200 and the post-processing device rear positioning seat 300 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the base 100, and can cooperate to position the post-processing device 400;

[0029] The heat shield tensioning mechanism 500 includes a positioning ring 510 surrounding the outside of the post-processing device, a belt 501 surrounding the inner side of the positioning ring 510 through an elastic connecting piece 520, one end of the belt 501 is fixed on the positioning ring 510, and the other end of the belt 501 surrounds the inner circle of the positioning ring 510 for one circle, extends out of the positioning ring, and is connected to the tensioning drive mechanism 530.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are three elastic connecting members 520, which are respectively arranged at intervals on the positioning ring 510. The elastic connecting member 520 includes a spring connecting seat 521 arranged on the outside of the positioning ring 520.

One end of the spring 522 is connected to the spring connecting seat 521, and the other end of the spring 522 is connected to a belt connecting buckle 523. The belt connecting buckle 523 passes through the avoidance hole 511 and is connected to the connecting belt 502 located on the outside of the belt 501. When the belt is not tightened, the spring is in a free state, and the belt is pulled toward the side of the positioning ring due to the influence of the belt retraction spring. In this case, the position of the insulation shell 410 on the post-processing device 400 can be conveniently adjusted. After adjustment, the belt can be driven by the tensioning drive mechanism to tighten the insulation shell.

[0031] In this embodiment, the positioning ring 510 includes an upper clamp 512 and a lower clamp 513. One end of the upper clamp 512 and the lower clamp 513 are hingedly connected, and the other end of the upper clamp 512 and the lower clamp 513 are locked by a locking device 514. By setting the positioning ring 510 to an openable state, the post-processing device and the insulation shell can be conveniently placed, and it is also convenient to remove the post-processing device after welding is completed.

After completion, loosen the belt, move the front positioning seat of the post-processing device and the rear positioning seat of the post-processing device in turn, and then take out the welded workpiece.

[0038] The heat insulation cover welding tool for the exhaust gas after-treatment device of the present invention is different from the previous method of mechanically fixing the insulation shell. It uses a flexible belt to tension the insulation shell without causing damage to the insulation shell. The driving mechanism can tighten the belt through the tensioning wheel.
