DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-9 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a stainless steel hydraulic pipe welding inflation positioning device, comprising a pipe body 1 and a positioning mechanism 2, wherein the positioning mechanism 2 is arranged at one end of the pipe body 1;

[0031] The diameter of the pipe body 1 ranges from 34 mm to 48 mm. The pipe body 1 is made of stainless steel. The pipe body 1 is welded to the hydraulic pipe through the positioning mechanism 2. The positioning mechanism 2 can effectively perform the back-side inflation positioning of the pipe body 1.

[0032] One end of the positioning mechanism 2 is fixedly connected with an end cover 3 by bolts, an expansion sleeve 4 is inserted inside the positioning mechanism 2, and a tightening screw 5 is threadedly inserted in the middle of the end cover 3, and the tightening screw 5 is located inside the expansion sleeve 4;

[0033] The tightening screw 5 can be positioned by the end cover 3, and the expansion sleeve 4 can be driven by the tightening screw 5 to expand and position the expansion sleeve 4 in the pipe body 1;

[0034] A butterfly-shaped clamping nut 6 is threadedly sleeved through the end cover 3 at the periphery of the tightening screw 5 near one end. The butterfly-shaped clamping nut 6 can effectively position the tightening screw 5 on the end cover 3 to achieve a tightening effect, so that the expansion sleeve 4 can effectively tighten and limit the position when positioning the positioning mechanism 2 and the pipe body 1.

[0035] A macro fastening mechanism 8 is movably sleeved on the periphery of the tube body 1, and a mounting ring 81 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the periphery of the macro fastening mechanism 8. A screw rod 82 is threadedly inserted on all four sides of the periphery of the mounting ring 81. A rotating disk 83 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 82, and a second positioning mechanism 84 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw rod 82 through the macro fastening mechanism 8. A fixing sleeve 85 is fixedly sleeved on the periphery of a plurality of adjacent second positioning mechanisms 84. A limiting groove 86 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the macro fastening mechanism 8 on the periphery of the fixing sleeve 85, and a pressure relief groove 87 is provided in the middle of the periphery of the fixing sleeve 85. The pressure relief groove 87 is movably inserted into the limiting groove 86.

[0036] Through the macro-fastening mechanism 8, when the tube body 1 is assisted in positioning welding and inflation with the help of the positioning mechanism 2, the stability and stability of the connection between the tube body 1 and the positioning mechanism 2 can be further improved, and the auxiliary fastening pressure relief adjustment can be performed by fine-tuning the positioning mechanism 2 to be installed on the tube body 1, so that when the tube body 1 is placed for welding, the temperature change is transmitted to the fixing sleeve 85, and the macro-coordination of the pressure relief groove 87 and the limit groove 86 on the fixing sleeve 85 can offset the deviation of the tube body 1 during welding, thereby effectively improving the positioning accuracy of the tube body 1 during positioning welding and inflation.

[0037] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the tube body 1 is the same as that of the positioning mechanism 2 , so that when the tube body 1 and the positioning mechanism 2 are connected, the expansion sleeve 4 can be flexibly displaced in the tube body 1 and the positioning mechanism 2 before installation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 2 is a hollow structure, the periphery of the positioning mechanism 2 is a T-shaped structure, and the diameter of one side of the periphery of the positioning mechanism 2 is not larger than the diameter of the end cover 3, so that the positioning mechanism 2 can be firmly connected with the end cover 3 and the expansion sleeve 4 and the tightening screw 5 can be easily installed.

[0039] In some embodiments, the end cover 3 is in a convex-shaped structure. Through the convex-shaped structural design, one end of the outer periphery of the end cover 3 can be fixedly plugged into the expansion sleeve 4. The diameter of one side of the outer periphery of the end cover 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the positioning mechanism 2, thereby facilitating the insertion of the end cover 3 into the inner side of the positioning mechanism 2.

[0040] In some embodiments, a card slot is provided at one end of the expansion sleeve 4, and the card slot is used as a mounting and positioning mechanism for the expansion sleeve 4 on the end cover 3, and one end of the outer periphery of the expansion sleeve 4 is plugged into the pipe body 1;

[0041] The slot prevents the expansion sleeve 4 from rotating during installation, so that the tightening screw 5 can improve the tight fit between the tightening screw 5 and the expansion sleeve 4 when the expansion sleeve 4 is expanded, further improving the radial expansion effect of the expansion end of the expansion sleeve 4.

[0042] In some embodiments, one end of the tightening screw 5 is in a truncated cone structure, the diameter of the outer end of the tightening screw 5 is not greater than the inner diameter of the tube body 1, and the diameter of the outer end of the tightening screw 5 is not less than the inner diameter of the expansion sleeve 4;

[0043] By designing one end to be truncated into a cone shape, the expansion sleeve 4 can be expanded gradually, thereby effectively avoiding the expansion sleeve 4 from cracking due to excessive stress difference, thereby ensuring the safe application of the expansion sleeve 4.

[0044] In some embodiments, both sides of the outer periphery of the butterfly clamping nut 6 are fixedly connected with a handle body 7 by welding. The handle body 7 is a cylindrical structure, and one end of the handle body 7 is provided with a rounded corner. The handle body 7 can facilitate the user to manually adjust the position of the butterfly clamping nut 6 on the tightening screw 5, thereby facilitating the positioning of the tightening screw 5 on the end cover 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, protrusions are fixedly connected on both sides of the periphery of the positioning mechanism 2 by screws, and a clamping ring is fixedly sleeved on the periphery of the tube body 1 by screws, and the clamping ring is threadedly fixedly connected to the protrusions by a screw rod, and the protrusions and the clamping ring are used as a connection and positioning mechanism between the tube body 1 and the positioning mechanism 2;

[0046] Through the connection between the protrusion and the clamp, the pipe body 1 can first play a role in position adjustment and tightening when the positioning welding is implemented through the positioning mechanism 2, thereby achieving a pre-processing positioning arrangement effect and further auxiliary positioning.

[0047] In some embodiments, a tape is wrapped around the edge of one end of the positioning mechanism 2, and the positioning mechanism 2 is sealed and connected to the adjacent end of the tube body 1 by the tape;

[0048] The adhesive tape can improve the sealing between the tube body 1 and the positioning mechanism 2, so that the filled gas can obtain a sealing effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, positioning grooves are provided around the middle of one side of the outer periphery of the end cover 3, and the positioning grooves are arranged in an intermittent annular manner. Semicircular blocks are welded around the middle of one side of the butterfly clamping nut 6, and the semicircular blocks are slidably plugged into the positioning grooves;

[0050] Through the cooperation between the semicircular block and the positioning groove, the butterfly clamping nut 6 and the end cover 3 can effectively play a positioning effect after being fitted together.

[0051] Working principle: When in use, a positioning mechanism 2 is provided at one end of the pipe body 1, which can effectively provide a positioning effect when the pipe body is welded. The connection position with the expansion sleeve 4 is adjusted by means of the tightening screw 5 in the positioning mechanism 2, so that the expansion sleeve 4 can effectively adjust the fit between the pipe body 1, and then the positioning mechanism 2 connected by the end cover 3 can implement a synchronous positioning effect, so that the pipe body 1 can achieve the effect of ensuring the positioning quality when welding, and has argon gas beam connection. The positioning mechanism 2 saves gas consumption, improves the construction quality, improves the acceptance rate, and reduces costs and increases efficiency. The positioning device is ingenious in conception, reasonable in structure, easy to manufacture, and low in cost. It effectively improves the quality of pipe docking positioning. After welding, the inner weld of the pipe is well formed, and the acceptance rate is improved. It has been affirmed and praised by construction personnel during the application process, achieved the effect of improving quality and efficiency, and has great promotion value.
