Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding and assembling flanges for water-cooled wall tubes, and more specifically, to an apparatus and method for welding and assembling flanges for supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tubes. Background Technology

[0002] The supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel has a unique structure. Each burner nozzle has an independent raised cooling chamber, and the unexposed side has a raised membrane tube panel. The two sides of the tube panel have "V"-shaped openings. Flanges need to be welded around the raised tube panel walls. The inner side of the flange is very close to the raised membrane tube wall, making welding impossible. Therefore, welding can only be done on the outer side of the flange. In addition, the spiral water-cooled wall tube panel is long and the flange itself has a lateral bend, resulting in severe welding deformation during the welding process. The direction of deformation is unpredictable. This welding deformation not only affects the welding quality of the flange and tube panel but also causes secondary deformation of the already welded flange and tube panel.

[0003] Currently, when welding flanges on supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panels, no external force is applied to effectively control welding deformation. Multiple welders are used to control welding deformation by intermittent welding in small areas. Furthermore, due to the different qualifications of welding technicians, the difference in welding skills can have a significant impact on the quality of the weld. Even if the same welding technician operates the weld, uncontrollable external factors such as current fluctuations can cause changes in the quality of the weld.

[0004] Therefore, improving welding quality and ensuring product quality and performance has become a major issue. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a device structure for welding a flange 2 of a supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel. It includes a back-facing flange fixing device, an anti-displacement hook, a wedge-shaped connecting device, a fire-facing support, a connecting screw 3, a tightening bolt 5, a compacted steel section, a flange 1, and a supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2. The back-facing flange fixing device is positioned above and on the outside of the flange 1 to be welded, and is used to fix and tighten the top plane of the flange 1 and prevent the flange 1 from shifting or tipping towards the tube panel side. One end of the anti-displacement hook hooks onto the inner edge of the flange 1 and passes around the upper surface of the flange 1 to connect with the back-facing flange fixing device. This anti-displacement hook is used to fix the position of the flange 1. The wedge-shaped connecting device is positioned below the back-facing flange fixing device and is used for... The system connects the back-fire flange fixing device and the fire-facing support; the fire-facing support is located between the fire-facing and back-fire surfaces of the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2, and is used to support and compress the tube panel; the connecting screw 3 is located between two or more back-fire flange fixing devices, and is used to connect and limit the back-fire flange fixing devices; the tightening bolt 5 is provided according to the back-fire flange fixing device, wedge-shaped connecting device, fire-facing support, connecting screw 3, and compaction steel, and is used to compress and fix the flange 1 and the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2 in multiple directions; the compaction steel is located on the upper surface of the flange 1 and the horizontal plane of the back-fire surface of the tube panel, and the rigidity and flatness of the steel itself, together with the tightening bolt 5, ensure the flatness of the flange 1 and the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the unexposed flange fixing device is an unequal-length U-shaped mechanism 4. This unequal-length U-shaped mechanism 4 has a first bolt hole, a first oblong hole 6, a fixing hole, a connecting hole, and a pin hole. A first wedge-shaped groove connecting block is welded to the bottom of the unequal-length U-shaped mechanism 4. This first wedge-shaped groove connecting block is located on a wedge-shaped connecting device, and the wedge-shaped connecting device is slidably connected to the first wedge-shaped groove connecting block. The first bolt hole is used in conjunction with the tightening bolt 5 to apply a vertically downward force to the flange 1. The fixing hole is used in conjunction with the tightening bolt 5 to apply a vertically upward force to the flange 1. By providing the first bolt hole and the fixing hole, the force on the flange 1 in the vertical direction is balanced. The connecting hole is used in conjunction with the connecting screw 3, allowing two or more unexposed flange fixing devices to be located on the same horizontal line, defining the position of the unexposed flange fixing devices. The first oblong hole 6 has a tightening bolt 5, which can be adjusted according to the height of the flange 1, and the tightening bolt 5 can apply a horizontal inward force to the flange 1. The anti-displacement hook includes a hook 8, a pin 10, a cotter pin 9, and a U-shaped block. The U-shaped block is connected to the back-facing flange fixing device, and both have through pin holes. The hook 8 is hinged to the cotter pin 9, and the cotter pin 9 is connected to the U-shaped block. The pin 10 is inserted into the pin holes of the U-shaped block and the back-facing fixing device. The installation method using the pin 10 insertion facilitates the disassembly of the device. By hooking the inside of the flange 1 with the hook 8, a horizontal outward force is applied to the flange 1, so that the flange 1 is subjected to balanced forces in the horizontal direction. Because the flange 1 is subjected to balanced forces in the horizontal and vertical directions, the flange 1 can be more stably installed on the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the fire-facing support is an open-loop mechanism 14, on which a second wedge-shaped groove connecting block and a tube screen support plate 15 are welded. The open-loop mechanism 14 is provided with bolt holes, which are used in conjunction with tightening bolts 5 to apply a vertically downward force to the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube screen 2. The tube screen support plate 15 can apply a vertically upward force to the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube screen 2. Through the cooperation of the bolt holes and tightening bolts 5 with the tube screen support plate 15, the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube screen 2 is subjected to balanced forces in the vertical direction, making it less prone to deformation during welding.

[0041] Furthermore, the wedge-shaped connection device includes a wedge-shaped sliding block 12 and a tightening bolt 5. The wedge-shaped sliding block 12 has a second oblong hole 13 in the middle. The tightening bolt 5 presses the outer side of the flange 1 through the second oblong hole 13. The wedge-shaped sliding block 12 slides into the first wedge-shaped groove connecting block and the second wedge-shaped groove connecting block from the side. The size of the wedge-shaped sliding block 12 can be changed according to the requirements of flanges 1 of different heights. The wedge-shaped sliding block 12 is mainly used for the connection and fixation of the back-fire flange fixing device and the fire-facing support, so that the cross section formed by the three is perpendicular to the flange direction.

[0042] Furthermore, the compacted steel profile includes angle steel 11 and channel steel 7. Angle steel 11 is positioned on the top surface of flange 1 and, in conjunction with the tightening bolts 5 in the back-facing flange fixing device, compresses the entire flange 1 surface. A locking slot for the hook 8 is provided at a corresponding position for the anti-displacement hook. Channel steel 7 is positioned on the back-facing tube panel and, in conjunction with the tightening bolts 5 in the fire-facing support, compresses the entire tube panel. A slot is provided at the position where the annular structure of the fire-facing support passes through. By installing the compacted steel profile, the force of the tightening bolts 5 is prevented from directly acting on flange 1 and the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2, increasing the stress-bearing area of ​​flange 1 and the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2, making flange 1 and the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2 less prone to deformation.

[0043] The operation steps of this invention are as follows:

[0044] Place the supercritical spiral water-cooled wall tube panel 2 on the assembly platform, and pave the bottom with a fixed support device. Place the flange 1 assembly to be welded on the tube panel as a whole and adjust its position. According to the specific length and width of the flange 1, set an appropriate installation pitch, and place the compacted steel on the upper part of the flange 1 and the upper part of the back-fired tube panel respectively.

[0045] Further: First, fit the fire-facing support into the tube screen. The tube screen support plate 15 in the fire-facing support is close to the fire-facing tube screen. The back-facing direction passes through the groove of the pre-placed channel steel 7 and is tightened with bolts 5. Then, install the wedge-shaped connection device and the back-facing flange fixing device in sequence to ensure that the cross-sectional area of ​​the three is perpendicular to the flange 1.

[0046] Further: After assembling the above components, install the tightening bolts 5 in the corresponding holes. The tightening bolts 5 will be tightened and adjusted later.

[0047] Further: One end of hook 8 in the anti-displacement hook hooks around the upper part of flange 1 and the angle steel 11 placed on the upper part from the inside of flange 1. After being tightened, it is fixed to the back-fired flange support member by means of pin 10.

[0048] Further: Install another set or more sets of devices according to the above steps, insert the connecting screw 3 and position it with nuts, use plumb line, level and other testing tools to check the installation of the device, and tighten all the screw nuts on the device after adjusting it into place.

[0049] Further steps: After the adjustment is completed, the welding work between flange 1 and the pipe panel can be carried out.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
