[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention provides a conformal device.

[0036] To better understand the above technical solutions, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of this application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of this application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, a conformal device 100 is proposed, comprising: a support member 110; a first plate 120 connected to the support member 110; a second plate 130 connected to the support member 110 and sleeved on the first plate 120, wherein a placement space is formed between the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 for placing parts; and an operating port 150 opened at corresponding positions of the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 for passing welding equipment to weld the parts.

[0038] It is understood that the conformal device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes a support member 110, a first plate 120, a second plate 130, and an operating port 150. Specifically, the first plate 120 is disposed on the support member 110, and the second plate 130 is disposed on the same side of the support member 110 as the first plate 120, with the second plate 130 sleeved on the first plate 120 and located outside the first plate 120. A placement space can be formed between the first plate 120 and the second plate 130. The shape of the placement space is consistent with the shape of the part. After the part is processed by the roller bed, the part can be hoisted above the conformal device 100 and inserted into the placement space. The first plate 120 and the second plate 130 restrict the deformation of the part to maintain its shape and improve stability. Furthermore, the operating port 150 can be opened at corresponding positions on the first plate 120 and the second plate 130. By setting the operating port 150, welding operations can be performed on the parts within the placement space, ensuring that the parts maintain their shape during the continuous welding process, improving the stress on the parts during welding, and reducing the difficulty of the welding operation. With this configuration, the parts can always maintain their shape before the welding operation, eliminating the need for shape correction, improving the production efficiency of parts, and reducing labor and time costs.

[0039] For example, the interior of the first plate 120 and / or the second plate 130 may be formed with a hollow structure to reduce the overall weight of the first plate 120 and the second plate 130, so as to facilitate hoisting. Reinforcing ribs may also be provided at the hollow structure to improve the structural strength of the first plate 120 and the second plate 130.

[0040] For example, the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 can be connected to the support member 110 by welding to ensure the tightness of the connection between the first plate 120, the second plate 130 and the support member 110.

[0041] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the above-mentioned part is a cylindrical shell ring, the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 are cylindrical plates.

[0042] Understandably, when the part is a cylindrical shell ring, the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 are adapted to the shape of the shell ring, and both the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 are cylindrical plates. In this case, the support member 110 can be a circular support plate. The second plate 130 is fitted onto the first plate 120, forming a placement space between the two cylindrical plates that matches the shape of the shell ring, allowing the shell ring to be inserted into the placement space. Considering that the shell ring is made of sheet metal processed by a roller bed to form an arc and has an opening, a welding process is needed to weld the opening to fix the shape of the shell ring. Operating ports 150 are opened at corresponding positions on the two cylindrical plates to allow welding equipment to be inserted through the operating ports 150 to weld the opening of the shell ring. The conformal device 100 ensures that the shell ring maintains its shape from the time it is processed by the roller bed until welding, improving stability.

[0043] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned conforming device 100 further includes: a fixing member 140, which passes through the above-mentioned cylindrical plate along the radial direction of the cylindrical plate and is used to press against the above-mentioned part.

[0044] Understandably, the conformal device 100 is also provided with a fixing member 140. The fixing member 140 can further restrict the degree of freedom of the part in the placement space. Specifically, the fixing member 140 can pass through the cylindrical plate radially and press against the part to prevent the part from shaking in the placement space, ensure that the part maintains its shape, and improve reliability.

[0045] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned fastener 140 includes: a nut 141 disposed on the cylindrical plate facing the side of the aforementioned part; and a screw 142 passing through the cylindrical plate and screwed onto the nut 141.

[0046] Understandably, the fastener 140 is equipped with a nut 141 and a bolt. Specifically, the first plate 120 is a cylindrical plate near the inner side, and the second plate 130 is a cylindrical plate near the outer side. The nut 141 can be located on the side of the first plate 120 facing the part, and a screw 142 passes through the side of the first plate 120 away from the part and is screwed onto the nut 141. By screwing the screw 142, the length of the screw 142 extending into the placement space can be adjusted so that the screw 142 can abut against and press against the shell ring. The nut 141 can also be located on the side of the second plate 130 facing the part, and a screw 142 passes through the side of the second plate 130 away from the part and is screwed onto the nut 141. By screwing the screw 142, the length of the screw 142 extending into the placement space can be adjusted so that the screw 142 can abut against and press against the shell ring. Fixing members 140 can be simultaneously installed at the first plate 120 and the second plate 130 to ensure that both sides of the shell ring are fixed, further improving the restriction on the shell ring's degree of freedom and ensuring the shell ring's shape. Furthermore, this arrangement converts rotation into linear motion, allowing for more precise adjustments, preventing excessive top pressure from the screw 142 on the shell ring that could cause deformation, and improving reliability.

[0047] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned conformal device 100 further includes a reinforcing member 160 disposed on the above-mentioned cylindrical plate.

[0048] Understandably, the conformal device 100 is also equipped with a reinforcing member 160. Specifically, the reinforcing member 160 can be provided on the cylindrical plate to improve the structural strength of the cylindrical plate. This reduces the degree of deformation of the cylindrical plate, thereby ensuring the conformal ability of the cylindrical plate to maintain the shell ring and improving reliability.

[0049] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned reinforcing member 160 includes: a first reinforcing rib 161, disposed on the periphery of the cylindrical plate along the axial direction of the cylindrical plate; and a second reinforcing rib 162, disposed on the periphery of the cylindrical plate along the radial direction of the cylindrical plate.

[0050] Understandably, the reinforcing member 160 may be provided with a first reinforcing rib 161 and a second reinforcing rib 162. Specifically, along the axial direction of the cylindrical plate, the first reinforcing rib 161 is disposed on the circumference of the cylindrical plate to improve the structural strength in the axial direction. Along the radial direction of the cylindrical plate, the second reinforcing rib 162 is disposed on the circumference of the cylindrical plate to improve the radial structural strength, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the cylindrical plate, reducing the degree of deformation of the cylindrical plate, and thus ensuring the conformability of the cylindrical plate to the shell ring and improving reliability.

[0051] For example, multiple first reinforcing ribs 161 may be provided, and the multiple first reinforcing ribs 161 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the cylindrical plate to ensure axial multi-directional reinforcement of the cylindrical plate. Multiple second reinforcing ribs 162 may be provided, and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 162 are arranged at intervals on the periphery of the cylindrical plate to ensure radial multi-directional reinforcement of the cylindrical plate.

[0052] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the axial direction of the cylindrical plate, a plurality of the above-mentioned fasteners 140 form a fixed row, and the fixed row and the first reinforcing rib 161 are arranged alternately.

[0053] It is understood that multiple fasteners 140 can be provided. Specifically, multiple fasteners 140 can form a fixed row along the axial direction of the cylindrical plate. The fixed row can be staggered with the first reinforcing rib 161. This arrangement can improve the fixing effect of the fasteners 140 on the axial direction of the shell ring and improve the conformability of the shell ring.

[0054] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the radial direction of the cylindrical plate, a plurality of the aforementioned fasteners 140 form a fixed row, and the fixed row and the aforementioned second reinforcing rib 162 are arranged collinearly.

[0055] It is understandable that multiple fasteners 140 can be provided. Specifically, multiple fasteners 140 can form a fixed row along the radial direction of the cylindrical plate. The fixed row can be arranged collinearly with the second reinforcing rib 162. This arrangement can improve the fixing effect of the fasteners 140 on the radial direction of the shell ring and improve the conformal effect of the shell ring.

[0056] In some examples, the opening size of the aforementioned operating port 150 is greater than or equal to 50 mm.

[0057] Understandably, the opening size of the operating port 150 can be set to be greater than or equal to 50mm to facilitate the welding equipment to extend into the operating port 150 to weld the shell ring. Furthermore, the opening size of the operating port 150 should not be too large to ensure the shape retention of the shell ring on the cylindrical plate.

[0058] In some examples, the aforementioned conformal device 100 further includes: a lifting hole 170, which is provided at the end of the first plate 120 away from the support member 110 and / or at the end of the second plate 130 away from the support member 110.

[0059] Understandably, the conformal conformal device 100 is also provided with a lifting hole 170. Specifically, the lifting hole 170 can be opened at the first plate 120 and / or the second plate 130. Specifically, the lifting hole 170 can be located at the end of the first plate 120 away from the support member 110, and / or at the end of the second plate 130 away from the support member 110. The conformal conformal device 100 can be lifted and moved as a whole using a lifting tool through the lifting hole 170.
