[0002] like Figure 1 The gas manifold shown is a crucial component of an aero-engine, with a diameter exceeding 1 meter. This gas manifold comprises an upper and lower ring pipe located on the same circumference; flanges are welded to the ends of both the upper and lower ring pipes, and adjacent flanges are fixed to mounting plates with bolts; the lower ring pipe consists of two sections, with an intake seat welded between them; machined holes are evenly distributed along the circumference of both the upper and lower ring pipes, and nozzles are welded to each of these machined holes. Due to the large diameter of this gas manifold, controlling its overall precision during welding is challenging. Furthermore, the positional accuracy of the nozzles needs to be checked after welding. Therefore, a fixture is designed for welding positioning of the gas manifold and for checking the positional accuracy of the nozzles after welding, to ensure welding quality and reduce production costs.

The positioning is accurate, thus ensuring the welding quality of the gas main pipe.
[0004] This invention provides a gas main pipe welding positioning and inspection fixture, comprising:
[0005] Base plate;

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-8 An embodiment of the present invention provides a gas main pipe welding positioning and inspection fixture, comprising:
[0035] Base plate 2;
[0036] The first positioning and fixing component 3 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top surface of the base plate 1 and is used to position and fix the mounting plates 14 on both sides of the gas main pipe 1.
[0037] The second positioning and fixing component 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base plate 1 and is used to position and fix the gas inlet seat 15 of the gas main pipe 1.
[0038] Positioning component 5 is fixedly installed on the top surface of base plate 1 and is used to weld and position the upper half ring pipe 11 and the lower half ring pipe 12 of the gas main pipe 1, as well as to release the positioning of the upper half ring pipe 11 and the lower half ring pipe 12 after welding connection.
[0039] The positioning inspection component 6 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base plate 1. It is used to position the machined hole 16 of the gas main pipe 1 and the nozzle 17, and to detect the position of the nozzle 17 after welding.
[0040] In this embodiment, for example Figure 1 When the gas main pipe 1 shown is welded, the flange 13 is first fixed to the mounting plate with bolts, and then the two mounting plates 14 are positioned and fixed by the first positioning and fixing component 3; the air inlet seat 15 is positioned and fixed by the second positioning and fixing component 4.
[0041] Then, the positioning component 5 is used to position the upper half-ring pipe 11 and the lower half-ring pipe 12, aligning the end of the upper half-ring pipe 11 with the flange 13 and the lower half-ring pipe 12 with the flange 13 and the air inlet seat 15. Next, the positioning inspection component 6 is used to position the machining holes 16 on the upper half-ring pipe 11 and the lower half-ring pipe 12, and each machining hole 16 is machined one by one. Then, the positioning inspection component 6 is used to position each nozzle 17. At this point, the gas main pipe 1 can be welded together. Precise positioning ensures the welding quality of the gas main pipe 1.
[0042] After the gas main pipe 1 is welded, the positioning component 5 is adjusted to release the positioning of the upper half-ring pipe 11 and the lower half-ring pipe 12; then the positioning inspection component 6 is used to inspect the position of the nozzle 17. The fixture of this application eliminates the need for additional inspection equipment, and achieves welding positioning and inspection through a set of fixtures, reducing the required equipment and lowering production costs.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base plate 2 has a shaped hole 21, which effectively reduces the weight of the fixture while ensuring that the structural strength of the base plate 2 meets the requirements.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning component 5 includes several first supports 51 fixedly disposed circumferentially on the top surface of the base plate 2. The first supports 51 distributed circumferentially support the bottom of the upper half-ring tube 11 and the lower half-ring tube 12.

The side of the positioning pin 52 away from the upper half-ring tube 11 or the lower half-ring tube 12 is provided with an unlocking surface 53, which is used to release the positioning of the upper half-ring tube 11 and the lower half-ring tube 12 after rotating the positioning pin 52 180 degrees.
[0049] In this embodiment, when positioning the upper half-ring pipe 11, it is placed on the top surface of multiple first supports 51 and embedded between two positioning pins 52 on the same first support 51 for positioning, so that both ends of the upper half-ring pipe 11 are aligned with the flange 13 respectively. Then, the lower half-ring pipe 12 is positioned by the first supports 51 and positioning pins 52, so that the lower half-ring pipe 12 is aligned with the flange 13 and the air inlet seat 15 respectively, and the positioning is accurate.

Then, check the position of the nozzles 17 using the positioning inspection pins 64. If the positioning inspection head 65 can be inserted into the corresponding nozzle hole 18, the position of the nozzle 17 is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. The operation is convenient, the inspection is accurate, and the inspection efficiency is high.
