AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing underwater local dry welding techniques cannot effectively repair defects and leaks in the corners and surrounding areas of underwater facilities, resulting in welding dead zones.

Method used

A local dry welding device for the corner areas of underwater facilities was designed. By sliding the upper shell and the lower shell together, a closed welding space is formed. The device is filled with watertight welding equipment and protective gas for filling and draining, so as to achieve local dry welding of the corner areas.

Benefits of technology

Effective welding of the edges and corners of underwater facilities and surrounding areas was achieved, solving the problem of welding dead zones and ensuring repair quality and safety.

Abstract

The application provides a local dry welding device and method for a corner area of an underwater facility, and belongs to the technical field of underwater welding. The device comprises an upper shell, a lower shell and a water-tight welding device. The upper shell is in sliding connection with the lower shell, and the water-tight welding device is fixed on the upper shell. The lower shell and the wall surface of the corner area of the underwater facility form a closed welding space. The device can realize welding on the corner and the nearby area, and solves the problem of welding dead zone in the prior art, and the problem that underwater local dry welding cannot be performed on the corner and the nearby area.
