[0038] As shown in Figure 1 the first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a horizontal end cover mounting device, which comprises:

[0039] a support frame 1;

[0040] a rotating mechanism 3 connected to the support frame 1, wherein the rotating mechanism 3 comprises a rotating disc 31, and the axis of the rotating disc 31 is parallel to the horizontal plane;

[0041] a bolt alignment mechanism 4 connected to the inner ring of the rotating disc 31, wherein the bolt alignment mechanism 4 comprises a cylinder 41, the axis of the cylinder 41 is parallel to the axis of the rotating disc 31, the cylinder 41 can move in the axial direction and the radial direction of the rotating disc 31, and the cylinder 41 comprises an upper half shell and a lower half shell, the upper half shell and the lower half shell are hinged to each other so that the upper half shell can be flipped open from above the lower half shell;

[0042] a bolt stretcher 5 connected to the inner ring of the rotating disc 31, wherein the axis of the bolt stretcher 5 is parallel to the axis of the rotating disc 31, and the bolt stretcher 5 can move in the axial direction;

[0043] a positioning mechanism 2 for driving the support frame 1 to move, four positioning mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support frame 1, and each positioning mechanism 2 is used for adjusting the vertical position and the horizontal position of the corresponding position of the support frame 1.

[0044] Specifically, the axis of the rotating disc 31 is parallel to the horizontal plane, the horizontal plane is the XY plane in the drawing, and the axis of the rotating disc 31 is along the Y axis direction in the drawing.

[0045] In the embodiment, four positioning mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support frame 1. Each positioning mechanism 2 can adjust the vertical position and the horizontal position of the corresponding part of the support frame 1. The positioning mechanism 2 drives the support frame 1 to move towards the pressure vessel, thereby realizing the adjustment of the six degrees of freedom of the horizontal end cover. Compared with the traditional universal ball bearing adjustment method, the four positioning mechanisms 2 can meet the requirements of large load and large movement stroke of the support frame 1. After adjusting the horizontal end cover and the pressure vessel to be coaxial, the support frame 1 is further moved to make the flange surface of the horizontal end cover and the pressure vessel fit. Since the bolt alignment mechanism 4 and the bolt stretcher 5 are connected to the inner ring of the rotating disc 31, the bolt alignment mechanism 4 and the bolt stretcher 5 can be sequentially moved to the multiple bolt mounting holes on the periphery of the horizontal end cover by rotating the rotating disc 31, thereby assisting the installation of the bolts. Specifically, the bolts are placed in the cylinder 41 of the bolt alignment mechanism 4. The cylinder 41 can move synchronously in the radial and axial directions of the rotating disc 31 according to the position of the bolt mounting hole on the periphery of the horizontal end cover. In this way, the bolts can simultaneously perform the alignment and approach motion with the bolt mounting holes. After the bolts are aligned with the bolt mounting holes, the bolts are screwed into the bolt mounting holes by a tool. The upper half of the shell of the cylinder 41 is flipped open from above the lower half of the shell, so that the bolts can be separated from the cylinder 41. The bolts are separated from the cylinder 41 by rotating the rotating disc 31 or moving the cylinder 41 synchronously in the radial and axial directions of the rotating disc 31. The rotating disc 31 drives the cylinder 41 to rotate to the next bolt mounting hole. The next bolt is placed in the cylinder 41. The above process is repeated. In this way, the remaining installation steps are sequentially completed. The bolt alignment mechanism 4 not only realizes the auxiliary guiding and penetrating function of the bolts, but also improves the installation efficiency. At the same time, the bolt alignment mechanism 4 can also be adjusted according to the position of the bolt mounting hole on the horizontal end cover, thereby widening the application range. The bolt stretcher 5 moves in the axial direction to cover the cap part of the bolt that has been screwed into the bolt mounting hole, thereby realizing the stretching and pre-tightening function of the bolt. The rotating mechanism 3 drives the bolt alignment mechanism 4 and the bolt stretcher 5 to rotate, thereby meeting the installation requirements of multiple bolts, and further improving the installation efficiency of the horizontal end cover and the bolts.

[0046] It should be noted that in order to make the bolt in any position can slide in the cylinder 41 along the axial direction, need to ensure that the cylinder 41 specifications and bolt compatible, the relative side of the upper half of the shell and the lower half of the shell can be hinged together by the rotating shaft, hinge and other rotating parts, the relative side of the upper half of the shell and the lower half of the shell can be locked together by the lock buckle, thread locking and other ways, so that before the bolt into the cylinder 41, the upper half of the shell can be rotated to open, the bolt is put into the lower half of the shell, then the upper half of the shell is rotated to close and locked with the lower half of the shell, the head of the bolt is in the direction of the bolt mounting hole, the cap of the bolt is in the direction away from the bolt mounting hole, the staff can make the head of the bolt into the bolt mounting hole by rotating the bolt through the cap of the bolt with the help of the tool, because the diameter of the bolt cap is greater than the inner diameter of the cylinder 41, the bolt cap is blocked by the cylinder 41, at this time the head of the bolt is rotated into the bolt mounting hole, but the bolt body is still in the cylinder 41, by turning the upper half of the shell from the top of the lower half of the shell, so that the bolt can be separated from the cylinder 41 by rotating the rotating disc 31 or extending the second telescopic rod 43.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, optionally, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a walking part 21, a jacking part 22, a horizontal pushing part 23 and a frame 24, wherein,

[0048] The walking part 21 is connected to the lower part of the frame 24, and the jacking part 22 is connected to the upper part of the frame 24;

[0051] In this embodiment, the walking part 21 in the positioning mechanism 2 can drive the horizontal end cover on the support frame 1 to move towards the direction of the pressure vessel, so as to adjust the front and back freedom degree of the horizontal end cover, the jacking part 22 in the positioning mechanism 2 can drive the horizontal end cover to move vertically, so as to adjust the up and down freedom degree of the horizontal end cover, the horizontal pushing part 23 in the positioning mechanism 2 can drive the horizontal end cover to move horizontally, so as to adjust the left and right freedom degree of the horizontal end cover, and further realize the adjustment of the six direction freedom degrees of the horizontal end cover, i.e. up, down, left, right, front and back.

[0052] In another embodiment, the frame 24 does not necessarily have to be provided with four, and can be only one whole, and four groups of jacking parts 22 and horizontal pushing parts 23 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the one whole frame 24, to achieve the same effect as described above.

The track 214 is arranged on the ground, and the first motor 211 is started to drive the rollers 212 to rotate, so as to drive the support frame 1 to move along the extension direction of the track 214 through the positioning mechanism 2. Since the extension direction of the track 214 is parallel to the axis of the rotating disc 31, the arrangement direction of the track 214 can be along the Y-axis direction in the figure, so that the rotating disc 31 can also move along the extension direction of the track 214, which is equivalent to adjusting the front and rear positions of the support frame 1.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 Optionally, the jacking component 22 includes a first hydraulic cylinder 221 and an arc surface pad 222. The mounting end of the first hydraulic cylinder 221 is connected to the upper surface of the vehicle frame 24, and the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 221 is hinged to the arc surface pad 222.

In this way, when the vehicle frame 24 is gradually inclined from horizontal, the arc surface side of the arc surface pad 222 keeps sliding contact with the lower surface of the support frame 1, and the arc surface pad 222 can also rotate with the inclination of the vehicle frame 24, so that the arc surface pad 222 can always push the lower surface of the vehicle frame 24.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 Optionally, the horizontal pushing component 23 includes a second hydraulic cylinder. The mounting end of the second hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the side surface of the vehicle frame 24, and the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the surface of the corresponding side of the support frame 1.

The support frame 1 can be pushed or pulled by the second hydraulic cylinder.

[0060] In summary, the horizontal end cover is adjusted to be coaxial with the pressure vessel by using the lifting component 22 and the horizontal pushing component 23 in the adjusting mechanism 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown, assuming the horizontal pushers 23 in the two adjustment mechanisms 2 on the left push the support frame 1 to the right, and the horizontal pushers 23 in the two adjustment mechanisms 2 on the right pull the support frame 1 to the right as well, the horizontal end cap can be adjusted in one direction (X-axis) in the horizontal plane; the synchronous movement of the four adjustment mechanisms 2 can adjust the horizontal end cap in another direction (Y-axis) in the horizontal plane; the synchronous lifting of the lifting components 22 in the four adjustment mechanisms 2 can adjust the horizontal end cap in the vertical direction (Z-axis); the synchronous lifting of the lifting components 22 in the two adjustment mechanisms 2 on the left or right can adjust the rotation of the horizontal end cap around one horizontal coordinate axis; the synchronous lifting of the lifting components 22 in the two adjustment mechanisms 2 at the front or rear can adjust the rotation of the horizontal end cap around another horizontal coordinate axis; the synchronous forward and backward movement of the two adjustment mechanisms 2 on the left or right relative to the two adjustment mechanisms 2 on the other side can adjust the rotation of the horizontal end cap around the vertical coordinate axis, thereby realizing the adjustment of the horizontal end cap in six directions of freedom.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the frame 24 is L-shaped, and the adjustment mechanism 2 also includes a reinforcing rib 25, which is connected between the upper surface and the side of the frame 24.

[0062] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib 25 can be welded between the upper surface and the side surface of the frame 24, thereby improving the structural strength and stability of the frame 24.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the rotary mechanism 3 includes a turntable 31, a turntable bearing 32, and a drive component 33.

[0064] In this embodiment, the outer ring of the turntable bearing 32 can be fixedly installed on the support frame 1 by screws or welding, and the second motor can be installed on the support frame 1 by screws. By starting the second motor to drive the gear to rotate, the gear rotation drives the turntable 31 to rotate, thereby driving the bolt alignment mechanism 4 to rotate together with the bolt stretching machine 5, and realizing the switching of different bolt installation stations.

[0066] Specifically, the telescopic modes of the first telescopic rod 42 and the second telescopic rod 43 can be manual driving, screw driving, hydraulic driving, pneumatic driving, and electric driving, etc. When placing the bolt in the cylinder body 41, it needs to be noted that the upper half shell and the lower half shell constituting the cylinder body 41 are in a separated state, the bolt head is placed into the lower half shell with the bolt installation hole of the horizontal end cover as the direction, and the upper half shell and the lower half shell are closed and locked.

[0067] In this embodiment, the parallelogram formed by the connecting lines of the two ends of the second connecting rod 45, the two hinged points of the first connecting rod 44 and the third connecting rod 46, the hinged point of the first connecting rod 44 and the inner ring of the turntable 31, and the hinged point of the bent part of the third connecting rod 46 and the inner ring of the turntable 31, as shown in Figure 4 , the cylinder body 41 is in the first position, at this time the included angle between the third connecting rod 46 and the inner ring of the turntable 31 is α, and angle α is also an internal angle of the parallelogram.

Thus, the axial position and the radial position of the cylinder body 41 in the inner ring of the turntable 31 are adjusted.

[0068] In another embodiment, the position adjustment of the cylinder 41 can also be achieved by a wedge mechanism instead of the connecting rod mechanism described above.

The inclined surface is fixed to the inner ring of the rotating disc 31 to ensure that the position and angle of the inclined surface meet the design requirements. Then the wedge is connected to the cylinder 41 to ensure that the wedge can move along the direction of the inclined surface. By rotating the wedge, the wedge moves along the direction of the inclined surface, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the cylinder 41. The rotation of the wedge can be controlled manually or electrically.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 Optionally, the bolt tensioner 5 includes a tensioner 51 and a guide rail 52.

The tensioner 51 can also be manually pushed or pulled on the guide rail 52.

[0071] In this embodiment, the axis of the bolt tensioner 5 is parallel to the axis of the rotating disc 31, that is, the axis of the tensioner 51 is parallel to the axis of the rotating disc 31. In this way, when the tensioner 51 moves along the axial direction, it can approach or move away from the bolt. When the tensioner 51 is pushed inward along the axial direction of the bolt, that is, pushed along the positive direction of the Y-axis in Figure 6 , the tensioner 51 can approach the bolt and be sleeved into the bolt to perform the bolt tensioning operation. When the tensioner 51 is pulled outward along the axial direction of the bolt, that is, pulled along the negative direction of the Y-axis in Figure 6 , the tensioner 51 can move away from the bolt to separate the tensioner 51 from the bolt, preparing for the next bolt tensioning operation.

[0075] S3: The rotating disc 31 in the rotating mechanism 3 is driven to rotate, the bolt alignment mechanism 4 is rotated to one bolt mounting hole on the periphery of the horizontal end cover, then the bolt is put into the cylinder 41, the cylinder 41 is moved to align the bolt with the bolt mounting hole, the bolt is screwed into the bolt mounting hole through a tool, the upper half shell and the lower half shell of the cylinder 41 are separated, the bolt can be separated from the cylinder 41, the bolt is separated from the cylinder 41 by rotating the rotating disc 31 or extending the second telescopic rod 43;

[0076] S4: The rotating disc 31 in the rotating mechanism 3 is driven to rotate, the bolt stretcher 5 is rotated to align the bolt to be stretched, the bolt stretcher 5 is pushed inward along the bolt axial direction to put the bolt into the sleeve, the bolt stretcher 5 is connected with the bolt, the bolt is stretched and pre-tightened, after the bolt stretching and pre-tightening operation is completed, the bolt stretcher 5 is pulled outward along the bolt axial direction, so that the bolt stretcher 5 is separated from the bolt.

[0077] Although the present application is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and modifications will fall into the protection scope of the present application.
