In addition, although the examples described herein have various configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application.

[0059] The present application provides a flange assembly device for assembling a flange onto a pipe; Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the specific structure of the flange assembly device is described; the flange assembly device includes an operating table 100, a socket panel 101 and a flange mold assembly; the operating table 100 provides a place for installing the flange on the one hand, and is used to support the socket panel 101 on the other hand.

[0060] Specifically, the socket panel 101 is disposed on the operating table 100 ; the socket panel 101 extends along the length direction of the operating table 100 .

[0061] Specifically, the flange mold assembly includes a socket member and a flange fixing member arranged on the socket member; the flange fixing member is detachable from the socket panel 101 through the socket member, that is, the flange fixing member can be installed on or removed from the socket panel 101 through the socket member; the flange fixing member has a fixing portion 108, and the fixing portion 108 is used to fix the flange. In the actual manufacturing process, the size of the flange fixing member has various specifications, and the flange fixing members of various specifications correspond one-to-one to the specifications of the flange, that is, each flange corresponds to a flange fixing member, that is, according to different flanges, flange fixing members of different specifications are selected, and the flange fixing member can be installed on the socket surface through the socket member, which is more flexible.

[0062] In summary, this application does not require the use of tools such as a level, a ruler, or a protractor; for blocked flanges, it is sufficient to replace the flange template assembly, and the entire process is simple to operate.

[0063] In this embodiment, a socket groove 106 is formed in the socket panel 101, and the plug member can be installed on or removed from the socket groove 106, thereby facilitating the replacement of flange template assemblies of different models.

[0064] Specifically, the number of the socket grooves 106 is multiple, and the multiple socket grooves 106 are arranged at intervals; each socket groove 106 is used to fix the flange template assembly, that is, an operator can simultaneously complete the operation of installing flanges for multiple pipes, improving the work efficiency.

[0065] Specifically, the flange assembly device further includes a slot plate 114, and the slot plate 114 is used to fix the socket panel 101. The specific fixing method can be the following two types: The first type: First, weld the slot plate 114 to the operating table 100, and then weld the socket panel 101 to the slot plate 114. The second type:

[0066] Set the number of the slot plates 114 to be multiple. Preferably, the multiple slot plates 114 are arranged along the width direction of the operating table 100, and a slot space 115 can be formed between adjacent slot plates 114; use the slot space 115 to fix the slot plate 114.

[0067] In this embodiment, the socket member includes a socket block 107; the socket block 107 has the fixing portion 108 and a socket portion 109 connected to the fixing portion 108. The socket portion 109 is adapted to the size of the socket groove 106. Specifically, the length, width, and height of the socket portion 109 are equal to the length, width, and height of the socket groove 106. That is to say, the socket portion 109 can just be inserted into the socket groove 106, thereby fixing the socket block 107 on the socket panel 101.

[0068] Specifically, the flange fixing member is arranged on one side of the fixing portion 108; when the fixing portion 108 is inserted into the socket groove 106, the flange fixing member just protrudes from the socket panel 101.

[0069] Specifically, when the socket block 107 is inserted into the socket slot 106, to improve the stability of the socket block 107, the socket member further includes a baffle 110; the baffle 110 is disposed on a side of the fixing portion 108 away from the flange fixing member, and it is ensured that the size of the baffle 110 is larger than the size of the socket portion 109 (that is, the width and height of the baffle 110 are larger than the width and height of the socket portion 109); that is to say, when the socket block 107 is inserted into the socket slot 106, the baffle 110 can be hooked on the socket panel 101; in other words, when the socket block 107 is inserted into the socket slot 106, the baffle 110 and the flange fixing member are exactly located on two sides of the socket panel 101, and the baffle 110 can assist the socket block 107 to improve the stability of the socket block 107 in the socket slot 106.

[0070] In this embodiment, the flange fixing member includes a flange plate 111 (the flange plate 111 is preferably a disc) and a fixing post 112; the flange plate 111 is disposed on the fixing portion 108, preferably, the flange plate 111 is welded to the fixing portion 108; the fixing post 112 is disposed on a side of the flange plate 111 away from the fixing portion 108, and the diameter of the fixing post 112 is equal to the diameter of the flange hole of the flange, so as to fix the flange on the flange plate 111 by using the fixing post 112.

[0071] Specifically, the number of the fixing posts 112 is multiple; the multiple fixing posts 112 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the flange plate 111 and the fixing posts 112 correspond to the flange holes of the flange one by one. Ensure that each flange hole can be fixed by the fixing post 112.

[0072] It should be noted that the number of the fixing posts 112 can also be one, that is, the flange is hooked by using one fixing post 112.

[0073] More specifically, the flange fixing member further includes a supporting block 113; the supporting block 113 is disposed at the center of the flange plate 111 and protrudes from the flange plate 111 by a preset height;

[0074] The supporting block 113 is adapted to the protruding portion of the flange. When the pipe is inserted into the flange fixing member with the flange fixed thereon, the pipe abuts against the supporting block 113.

[0075] The above-mentioned adaptation of the supporting block 113 to the protruding portion of the flange means that the supporting block 113 can be inserted into the protruding portion of the flange, and the specific position of the supporting block 113 in the protruding portion of the flange is determined by the preset height, and this preset height is determined by the reserved clearance at the inner opening of the pipe during flange assembly.

[0076] Specifically, during the actual operation of assembling the flange to the pipe, the end of the pipe to be installed with the flange is inserted into the convex portion of the flange and abuts against the supporting block 113. If the height of the supporting block 113 is relatively large, then the distance between the end of the pipe of the finally formed pipe product and the edge of the flange is relatively large; conversely, if the height of the supporting block 113 is relatively small, then the distance between the end of the pipe of the finally formed pipe product and the edge of the flange is relatively small. The entire operation process does not require measuring tools such as a spirit level or a flange angle gauge, and is extremely convenient to operate.

[0077] In this embodiment, the flange assembling device further includes a moving assembly 116; the moving assembly 116 includes rollers 117 and a telescopic rod 118 connected to the rollers 117; the other end of the telescopic rod 118 is disposed below the operation table 100.

[0078] Specifically, in order to improve the stability of the telescopic rod 118, a reinforcing plate 119 is disposed between adjacent telescopic rods 118, and the reinforcing plate 119 is used to improve the stability of the telescopic rod 118. More specifically, the reinforcing plate 119 is located between adjacent telescopic rods 118 and abuts against the operation table 100.

[0079] Specifically, the operation table 100 can be conveniently moved by the rollers 117 through the telescopic rod 118, that is, when installing the flange on the pipe, it is not necessary to move the pipe. It is only necessary to move the operation table 100 to the position of the pipe through the moving assembly 116. In addition, for pipes of different heights, the height of the telescopic rod 118 can also be adjusted so that the flange can be docked to the end of the pipe. The entire operation process is convenient and simple.

[0080] In addition, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the flange assembling device can not only install the flange on the straight pipe 120 on the console 122, but also install the flange on the bent pipe 121.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
