[0002] Ethylene is the core of the petrochemical industry, and the ethylene cracking furnace coil is the core equipment of the ethylene production unit. Its main function is to process various raw materials such as natural gas, refinery gas, crude oil and naphtha into cracked gas and supply it to other ethylene units, which are then processed into various products such as ethylene and propylene.

[0003] Utility model patent CN211110604U discloses a universal fixture for storing, hoisting, and transporting ethylene cracking furnace coils. The invention includes base-mounted columns, support frames, inclined support frames, and crossbeams. Several sets of base-mounted columns are evenly arranged, and several crossbeams are arranged on each base-mounted column from top to bottom. Support frames and inclined support frames are arranged between adjacent base-mounted columns, and the support frames are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the base-mounted columns. The ethylene cracking furnace coil includes a positioning fixture, a furnace coil body, and a fixing hinge. The furnace coil body is configured to cooperate with the crossbeams through the positioning fixture, and the fixing hinge is fixed to the base-mounted columns. This solution can significantly reduce storage space and transportation costs; it allows for direct overall hoisting and loading, greatly reducing labor; and it can prevent coil displacement or shaking, which could lead to coil damage or deformation.

A second bearing 37 is installed on the second rotating shaft 38. Through the above mechanism, the fixing mechanism 3 can be easily removed or installed, which is very convenient whether assembling the coils safely on the ground or removing the coils for storage and transportation after welding.

[0036] Furthermore, the support mechanism 2 includes a first support block 21 and two fixing frames 25 welded to the left and right ends of the upper surface of the first support block 21.

A motor 22 is installed on the front surface of the first support block 21. A limit plug 26 is slidably connected inside each fixing frame 25. A handle 27 is welded to the outer side of the upper surface of the limit plug 26. The length of the limit plug 26 is sufficient to contact the inner circle of the driven gear 33.

[0037] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism 34 includes a first support rod 345, a sliding groove 341 opened on the right side surface of the first support rod 345, and two limiting grooves 342 opened at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the first support rod 345.

The limiting block 344 has a threaded hole that runs through it from top to bottom.

[0038] In this embodiment, several fastening hook and loop fasteners 351 are fixedly installed on both the movable mounting rod 35 and the fixed mounting rod 39. Auxiliary brackets 352 are welded to the side surfaces of the movable mounting rod 35 and the fixed mounting rod 39 opposite to the mounting positions of the fastening hook and loop fasteners 351. Mounting grooves 354 are opened on the upper surfaces of both the movable mounting rod 35 and the fixed mounting rod 39.

[0039] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism 36 includes a second support rod 363, auxiliary grooves 361 formed at the left and right ends of the rear surface of the second support rod 363, and a positioning block 362 welded to the lower end of the front surface of the second support rod 363.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first bearing 32 is installed in the bearing groove 23, and the upper surface of the second support block 4 is provided with a groove for the second bearing 37 to be installed, so that the fixing mechanism 3 can rotate easily.

[0041] In this embodiment, the driven gear 33 is located inside the cavity, and the output shaft of the motor 22 is equipped with a driving gear. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear 33. The motor 22 is a servo motor, which precisely controls the rotation angle of the driven gear 33.

[0042] In this embodiment, the thickness of the limiting block 26 is less than the pitch of the driven gear 33. The end of the limiting block 26 near the driven gear 33 is rounded, and the outer surface is covered with a rubber pad to prevent friction damage to the driven gear 33 when in contact.

[0043] In this embodiment, a movable mounting rod 35 is welded to the right end of each limiting block 344, the middle limiting block 344 is welded to the middle position of the sliding groove 341, and a fixed mounting rod 39 is welded to the right end of the middle limiting block 344.

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting bolt 343 is a hexagonal screw brush, and the limiting bolt 343 can penetrate the limiting block 344.

[0047] It is worth noting that the structure and working principle of the motor 22 involved in this embodiment are as known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In the specific use of the ethylene cracking furnace coil welding and flipping device of this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 3 is first removed from the support mechanism 2, the fixing mechanism 3 is placed on the ground, and the coil is fixed into the mounting groove 354 on the movable mounting rod 35 for assembly. The distance between the fixing mounting rod 39 and the movable mounting rod 35 can be controlled by pushing the limiting block 344 in the sliding groove 341 to slide. After adjusting the distance, the limiting bolt 343 is tightened to fix the position of the limiting block 344. Then, the fixing mechanism 3 is put back onto the support mechanism 2. The driven gear 33 is placed into the cavity 24 and meshes with the driving gear. After the control coil is in a horizontal state, the limiting block 26 in the fixing bracket 25 is pushed towards the driven gear 33. The driven gear 33 is fixed by the limiting block 26. After the worker welds the coil, the limiting block 26 can be pulled out, the motor 22 is started, and the driven gear 33 is driven to rotate by the driving gear. After rotating 180 degrees, the motor 22 is turned off, the driven gear 33 is fixed again by the limiting block 26, and welding is performed. After welding is completed, the fixing mechanism 3 can be directly removed and stored.
