Description

[0002] A cylindrical body is generally formed by processing equipment by rolling, correcting and welding rectangular plates. Due to the difference between the structures of a conical cylinder and a cylindrical cylinder, large conical tower cylinder structure buildings such as wind turbine columns and chimneys are usually processed and formed by processing equipment to preform the fan-shaped plates into conical cylinders. The utilization rate of fan-shaped plates is lower than that of rectangular plates. Large-scale fan-shaped plate processing equipment needs to be specially customized, and the plate rolling equipment cannot process special specification plates. On the other hand, with the continuous promotion of the national green industry, large-scale high-energy-consumption building structures are being gradually replaced. Large conical tower cylinder structure buildings can utilize the thickness variation characteristics of longitudinal variable-thickness steel plates to directly change the formed cylindrical body into a conical body. Under the premise of ensuring performance, the use of materials is less, and the processing and manufacturing are simpler. The special cross section can meet the different weight reduction design requirements of steel structures such as ships and bridges, and can also reduce manufacturing costs and improve structural safety.

[0023] A plurality of parallel multi-point clamping devices 1 and rotating devices 3 are respectively arranged on the fixed ring frame 2 and the moving ring frame 11; the clamping device 1 is connected with the ring frame of the fixed ring frame 2 in a semi-hinge shaft mode; the clamping device 1 is installed below the gauge adjustment oil cylinder 16 and is composed of multiple groups of parallel clamping cylinders; after the gauge adjustment oil cylinder 16 is adjusted to the right position, the clamping cylinder presses and clamps the pipe blank; the parallel structure of the clamping cylinder ensures that the clamping force is uniform and is not affected by the thickness of the plate; then the motor of the rotating device 3 is started, and the gauge adjustment oil cylinder 16 drives the clamping device 1 and the plate to rotate to the target position through the circular rack force.

[0024] A plurality of folding devices 8 are arranged on the folding ring frame 7, and the folding device 8 is provided with a roller structure type pressing beam at the end; the folding device 8 is connected with the folding oil cylinder in a semi-hinge shaft mode; the folding oil cylinder adjusts the stroke of the pressing oil cylinder synchronously according to the pipe diameter of the position of the pipe blank to fold, adjusts the misaligned edges and inequality of the pipe material to the right position, and provides a certain pre-tightening force for welding.

[0025] The working process of the application is as follows:

[0026] The present application is to group weld a plurality of large-scale arc-shaped plate into a complete conical pipe. After the fan-shaped variable-thickness plate passes various inspections and the qualified products pass the edge milling process, the pre-bending process and the forming process, the arc-shaped pipe blank which meets the group welding forming is conveyed to the pre-welding equipment by the feeding roller way. According to the actual pipe specification, the partially interfering detachable conveying roller 14 is removed in advance. The moving ring-shaped frame 11 is moved to the appropriate position and locked by the walking track 9 according to the plate length. The closing ring-shaped frame 7 is also moved to closely contact the moving ring-shaped frame 11 by the walking track 9. The supporting mechanism 12 is in the falling position. The clamping device 1 and the closing device 8 are both in the retracted state. The pressing block 5 and the welding device 6 are moved to the initial point of the moving ring-shaped frame 11 and are in the retracted state by the cross beam 15. The fixed lifting roller way 4, the follow-up lifting roller way 10, the conveying roller way 13 and the detachable conveying roller way 14 are in the same feeding plane. The specification adjustment oil cylinder 16 on the fixed ring-shaped frame 2 and the moving ring-shaped frame 11 is adjusted to the respective control stroke according to the pre-calculated value. The rotating device 3 is moved to the upper position. The plate is conveyed to the control range between the fixed ring-shaped frame 2 and the moving ring-shaped frame 11. At this time, the fixed lifting roller way 4 and the follow-up lifting roller way 10 respectively lift the pipe to make it consistent with the center line of the fixed ring-shaped frame 2 and the moving ring-shaped frame 11. Then, the two groups of adjacent clamping devices 1 corresponding to the fixed ring-shaped frame 2 and the moving ring-shaped frame 11 are rotated to two points below the pipe and are pressed and clamped. Subsequently, they are rotated upward at an equal angle to allow the next pipe to be conveyed to the position. The fixed lifting roller way 4 and the follow-up lifting roller way 10 are lowered to the original material feeding plane. The same conveying method is used until the subsequent pipe conveying is completed and the entire conical tower is formed. At this time, the supporting mechanism 12 is lifted and locked to stabilize the end of the cross beam 15. The specification adjustment oil cylinder 16 of the two groups of ring-shaped frames is adjusted again. If necessary, single local adjustment is performed until the welding seams are balanced and the overall shape meets the forming standard. The rotating device 3 on the fixed ring-shaped frame 2 and the moving ring-shaped frame 11 is rotated again to make the pipe welding seam below. Then, the closing device 8 on the closing ring-shaped frame 7 is extended in multiple directions to correct the irregular part of the pipe. When the correction reaches the set low pressure, the clamping device 1 is released to a certain value. The closing device 8 is corrected to the position and is pressure maintained at high pressure. At the same time, the pressure of the clamping device 1 is increased to the original set value. At this time, the pressing block 5 is extended to press the welding seam of the two plates. At the same time, the welding device 6 is extended to the direction of the cross beam 15 to perform variable rail welding. The rail change amount is determined by the conical pipe slope and the pipe thickness. After a section of welding seam is completed, the closing device 8 is loosened and moved to the position to be corrected by the walking track 9. The low-pressure supporting of the closing ring-shaped frame 7, the pressure reduction of the two end clamping devices 1, the high-pressure correction of the closing ring-shaped frame 7 and the recovery of the original clamping high pressure of the two end clamping devices 1 are performed again. Then, the pressing block 5 and the welding device 6 complete the pre-welding of this section. The above conditions are repeated until the pre-welding of this welding seam is completed.Before the next weld starts pre-welding, the pressure block 5 and the welding device 6 retract and move to the end of the moving ring frame 11 along the beam 15, while the folding ring frame 7 also moves to the end of the moving ring frame 11 along the walking track 9, at this time the rotating device 3 on the fixed ring frame 2 and the moving ring frame 11 adjusts another weld to the same angular velocity to the position directly below, and the welding method is the same as the first weld, and so on, until the entire tapered pipe is pre-welded; finally, the fixed lifting roller way 4 and the follow-up lifting roller way 10 are simultaneously extended to the respective material receiving stroke, the clamping device 1 is completely loosened, the pipe material completely falls to the lifting roller way, the moving ring frame 11 moves away by a certain value so that the pipe material is completely separated, and then the fixed lifting roller way 4 and the follow-up lifting roller way 10 drive the pipe material to fall back to the plane where the conveying roller way 13 and the detachable conveying roller way 14 are located, and the roller way runs to output the pipe material to the next process.

[0028] The above is only the preferred example of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, under the technical inspiration provided by the present application, as the common knowledge in the field of hydraulic systems, other equivalent modifications and improvements can also be made, and should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
