Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for gasket welding of small-diameter pipes and for removing residual gaskets from the inner wall after welding. Background Technology

[0002] When welding small-diameter pipes, welding can only be performed on one side, which can easily lead to defects such as incomplete penetration or excessive weld beads on the inner wall of the pipe. These defects can affect the strength of the pipe and the flow pattern of high-speed fluids inside. Using backing technology in pipe welding is an effective way to avoid these weld defects.

[0003] Currently, there are already some pipe welding gasket devices, such as: a cross-sliding gasket device for pipe welding (CN109822286A), a gasket device for small-diameter pipe welding (CN219293174U), and an arc-shaped gasket device for pipe welding (CN107825059A).

[0004] These pipe welding gaskets use copper gaskets, which have low adhesion strength to steel pipes after welding and are easily removed. However, using copper gaskets under high welding temperatures can easily cause copper seepage into the inner wall of the steel pipe, affecting pipe performance.

[0005] Replacing the copper material of these gaskets with the same steel grade as the pipes can prevent copper seepage into the pipe walls. However, when welding steel gaskets, they will melt and become one with the pipe weld. After welding, the gaskets need to be removed and a special pipe wall grinding device needs to be installed to grind away any excess gasket residue.

[0006] Current pipe inner wall grinding devices include: pipe weld grinding machine (CN209304234U) and a pipe inner wall grinding device (CN115070527A). However, the driving and moving mechanisms of these pipe inner wall grinding devices are complex and combined with the grinding components, resulting in a large radial dimension of the device, making it difficult to install into small-diameter pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, the above-mentioned method requires two sets of equipment for pipe gasket welding and post-weld grinding, and the operation is cumbersome and the construction efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This disclosure proposes a welding method for small-diameter pipes and an apparatus for implementing the method, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the need for two sets of equipment when selecting a gasket of the same steel grade as the pipe, and the difficulty in installing a grinding device into a small-diameter pipe. The grinding component and the driving component of this apparatus are separated. The grinding component is designed with a small radial dimension and placed inside the pipe. The driving component with a large radial dimension is arranged on the outside of the pipe end. The two are connected and driven by a long shaft, thereby enabling the gasket welding and post-weld grinding to be completed in one go.

[0009] The small-diameter pipe welding and grinding assembly described in this disclosure, Scheme 1: the assembly includes a gasket 3 and a grinding component, and its unique feature is:

[0010] The grinding components include a three-jaw holder 2, a separator cylinder 4, a cup-shaped grinding wheel 5, a support body 7, a guide wheel assembly 8, and a first bearing 9;

[0011] The three-claw frame is a structure formed by stamping a thin plate with square holes and three elastic claws. The outer side of the elastic claws is provided with grooves to hold and support the pad.

[0012] The gasket is made of the same steel grade as the pipe and is installed on the three-jaw bracket to seal the weld bevel of the pipe.

[0013] The outer diameter of the cup-shaped grinding wheel is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe, and it is used to grind the gasket remaining on the inner wall of the pipe after welding. The cup-shaped grinding wheel is composed of a metal body and a grinding body. A square hole is machined in the center of the metal body and ventilation holes are machined around the circumference of the metal body. The grinding body is composed of resin-bonded abrasive.

[0014] The separator cylinder is machined with a square hole and is installed between the three-jaw holder and the bowl-shaped grinding wheel via a long shaft 10;

[0015] The support body is a cylindrical shape with thickened ends. The thickened section is machined with bearing holes for installing two first bearings 9. The outer wall of the middle section of the support body is machined with three planes evenly distributed around its circumference and threaded holes are machined therein, and three guide wheel sets 8 are installed by bolts.

[0016] The guide wheel assembly 8 consists of a wheel frame, two small wheels, and two wheel axles, and is used to support the back and forth movement of the liner and grinding components in the pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the component also includes a fan 1;

[0018] The outer diameter of the fan is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe, and a square hole is machined for the long shaft 10 to pass through; the two fans 1 are respectively installed in front of the three-jaw holder and after the bowl-shaped grinding wheel, and can generate axial flow under the drive of the long shaft 10 to cool the heat generated by grinding and blow the debris out of the pipe.

[0019] Furthermore, the gasket is annular with a boss on its outer edge; the size of the boss matches the welding bevel, with a height of 1-2mm and a width equal to the bevel spacing.

[0020] Furthermore, the component also includes a baffle 6; the baffle is disposed between the fan and the first bearing to prevent debris blown by the fan from splashing into the first bearing.

[0021] Option 2: Based on Option 1 and the optimized option, a driving component is added to the component to obtain Option 2, as follows:

[0022] The drive component includes a frame 12, a locking bolt 11, a motor 13, a left retaining ring 14, a positioning bolt 15, a spring 16, a right retaining ring 17, and a second bearing 18.

[0023] The frame consists of four parts: a clamping solid 1201, a motor base plate 1202, a connecting rod 1203, and a bearing base plate 1204. Three clamping solids are evenly distributed and welded to the left side of the motor base plate. The clamping solids have threaded holes, and the frame is secured to the outside of the right end of the pipe using three clamping bolts 11. A center hole and circumferential holes are machined on the motor base plate for mounting the motor. Three connecting rods are evenly distributed and welded to the right side of the motor base plate at their left ends, and welded to the bearing base plate at their right ends.

[0024] The bearing seat plate is machined with countersunk holes to install the second bearing;

[0025] The motor is mounted on the right side of the motor base plate; the motor is provided with a hollow square hole shaft for passing through the rear rod section of the long shaft 10;

[0026] The left retaining ring has a square hole for passing through the rear of the long shaft 10 and is fixed in position by the positioning bolt.

[0027] The second bearing is mounted on the bearing housing plate;

[0028] The right retaining ring is machined with a square hole for passing through the rear of the long shaft 10 and being installed in the hole of the second bearing;

[0029] The spring is a compression spring and is installed between the left retaining ring and the right retaining ring.

[0030] Using the components described in Scheme 2, along with the long shaft 10 and the handle ball 19, Scheme 3 is obtained, namely, a small-diameter pipe welding and grinding device:

[0031] The length of the long shaft is greater than the pipe to be welded;

[0042] The third step is to weld on the outside of the pipe 20 to be welded until the gasket 3 and the weld 22 are fused together.

[0043] Fourth step, push the long shaft 10 to drive the three-jaw chuck 2 to disengage from the pad 3 until the cup-shaped grinding wheel 5 hits the remaining part of the pad 3 on the weld 22; move the left retaining ring 14 to the right to compress the spring 16, the moving distance is 2-3 times the width of the weld 22, tighten the fixing bolt 15 to fix the left retaining ring 14 on the long shaft 10, and the spring 16 pushes the long shaft 10 to the left to load;
