Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of welding devices, in particular to an automatic welding device for a safety valve. Background Art
[0002] As a kind of valve, the safety valve sometimes needs to be welded with a flange. The welding is usually performed manually. First, the valve and the flange are connected, and then a welding gun is used for welding. The manual welding method has poor welding accuracy.
[0003] Chinese patent announcement No. CN118218861B discloses a valve assembly welding device, including a docking device, which is used to assemble and dock a flange with a valve. The docking device is provided with a clamping device and a moving device. The clamping device is used to clamp the flange to be welded, and the moving device is used to drive the valve to rotate, thereby completing the welding of the valve and the flange.
[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following shortcomings:
[0005] 1. When welding, spot welding is first performed at the joint between the valve and the flange, and then the flange is driven by rotating the valve. Because the flange is clamped by the clamping claw mechanism, the load is large, resulting in excessive shear force on the spot weld, which makes the spot weld easy to crack. Even if the valve is rotated, the flange cannot be effectively driven to rotate, and the welding process cannot be achieved;
[0006] 2. The valve center axis of the flange to be welded must be coaxial with the rotating gear ring. The position of the valve clamping is determined, so it can only be applied to valve specifications with a unique distance from the clamping position to the valve welding center axis. However, different valves have different specifications, and valves of other specifications may not necessarily be able to be aligned and welded by this welding device. Summary of the invention

[0025] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the automatic welding device for a safety valve proposed in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a clamping and rotating mechanism, a power device and a welding assembly.
[0026] The clamping and rotating mechanism is symmetrically arranged in two groups on the frame 1, including an outer gear ring 2 arranged on the frame 1, a mounting cylinder 4 arranged on the frame 1 and coaxially distributed with the outer gear ring 2, an inner gear ring 3 coaxially rotatably arranged on the mounting cylinder 4 and located inside the outer gear ring 2, and multiple clamping and rotating components meshingly connected with the outer gear ring 2 and the inner gear ring 3 at the same time, and the meshing teeth are distributed inside the outer gear ring 2 and outside the inner gear ring 3. The multiple clamping and rotating components are evenly distributed around the central axis of the inner gear ring 3, so that they can be evenly clamped on the flange 100 and the valve 200.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the power device is arranged on the frame 1 and is used to drive the two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms to operate. When the two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms operate, the flange 100 and the valve 200 are clamped respectively and the flange 100 and the valve 200 are driven to rotate coaxially. The power device includes a power mechanism 22 arranged on the frame 1, a driving gear 23 connected to the output end of the power mechanism 22, a mounting shaft 25 rotatably arranged on the frame 1, and a driven gear 24 and two connecting gears 26 coaxially arranged on the mounting shaft 25. The driven gear 24 is meshed and connected with the driving gear 23, and the two connecting gears 26 are respectively meshed and connected with the two inner gear rings 3 in the two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms, and the connecting gear 26 and the outer gear ring 2 are staggered. The power mechanism 22 can drive the driving gear 23 to rotate, the driving gear 23 drives the driven gear 24 to rotate, the driven gear 24 drives the mounting shaft 25 to rotate, the mounting shaft 25 drives the two connecting gears 26 to rotate, and the two connecting gears 26 respectively drive the two inner gear rings 3 in the two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms to rotate, thereby realizing the synchronous operation of the two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms.
[0028] The clamping rotating assembly includes a gear 5 meshingly connected to the outer gear ring 2 and the inner gear ring 3 at the same time, a rotating shaft 6 coaxially arranged on the gear 5, a rotating cover 8 rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 6, a linkage assembly tensioned between the rotating shaft 6 and the rotating cover 8, a rotating frame 7 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6, a roller 21 rotatably arranged on the rotating frame 7 and rollingly connected to the inner circumference of the mounting cylinder 4, a bevel gear 14 coaxially arranged on the rotating cover 8, a bevel gear 15 meshingly connected to the bevel gear 14, a screw 16 rotatably arranged on the rotating frame 7 and connected to the bevel gear 15 at one end, a base 17 arranged on the rotating frame 7 and rotatably connected to the other end of the screw 16, a screw nut 161 threadedly connected to the screw 16, a moving platform 18 connected to the screw nut 161, and two groups of clamping assemblies symmetrically distributed on both sides of the moving platform 18, the clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 19 and a connecting rod 20 rotatably connected in a V shape, the outer end of the clamping plate 19 is rotatably connected to the moving platform 18, and the outer end of the connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the base 17.
[0029] The power device drives the inner gear ring 3 to rotate, and the inner gear ring 3 drives the gear 5 to rotate. The gear 5 performs self-rotation and revolution between the inner gear ring 3 and the outer gear ring 2 at the same time. The self-rotation movement drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate. The rotating shaft 6 drives the rotating cover 8 to rotate through the linkage assembly. The rotating cover 8 drives the bevel gear plate 14 to rotate. The bevel gear plate 14 drives the bevel gear 15 to rotate. The bevel gear 15 drives the screw rod 16 to rotate. The screw rod 16 drives the screw nut 161 to move inward. The screw nut 161 drives the moving platform 18 to move. The moving platform 18 drives the clamping plate 19 to move inward until the clamping plate 19 abuts against the circumferential surface of the flange 100 or the circumferential surface of the valve 200, completing the clamping process. Then, the revolution movement of the gear 5 can realize the revolution of the clamping rotating assembly, thereby driving the clamped flange 100 and valve 200 to rotate around the same central axis.
[0030] The linkage assembly includes a rotating table 9 arranged on the rotating shaft 6, a guide rod 10 whose two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating table 9, a pawl 13 slidably arranged on the guide rod 10, a first spring 11 sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the guide rod 10 and whose two ends are respectively connected to one side of the pawl 13 and one end of the rotating table 9, and a second spring 12 sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the guide rod 10 and whose two ends are respectively connected to the other side of the pawl 13 and the other end of the rotating table 9. The guide rod 10 is an arc-shaped rod and its center is staggered relative to the central axis of the rotating shaft 6. The rotating cover 8 has a plurality of ratchet grooves 801 evenly distributed around the central axis and connected end to end, and the ratchet 13 abuts against the ratchet grooves 801.
[0031] The ratchet groove 801 is a V-shaped groove and one side of the groove surface is distributed radially along the rotating shaft 6. When the ratchet 13 moves from one ratchet groove 801 to the inner side of the adjacent ratchet groove 801, it will be closely connected, and will not cause the rotating cover 8 to reverse, and the clamping plate 19 will not be loosened outward. The length of the first spring 11 is less than the length of the second spring 12. After the flange 100 or the valve 200 is clamped, as the rotating shaft 6 continues to rotate, the first spring 11 is intermittently compressed by the ratchet 13, and the first spring 11 is intermittently extended. The flange 100 or the valve 200 rotates in the clamped state.
[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, the outer diameters of the clamped portion of the flange 100 and the clamped portion of the valve 200 are equal, and the flange 100 and the valve 200 can be clamped synchronously, thereby rotating synchronously.
[0033] like Figure 8 As shown, the outer diameters of the clamped portion of the flange 100 and the clamped portion of the valve 200 are not equal, and the outer diameter of the clamped portion of the flange 100 is larger. At this time, the clamping rotation mechanism used to clamp the flange 100 will first clamp the flange 100, and will drive the flange 100 to rotate first. In the linkage assembly, the ratchet 13 passes through multiple ratchet grooves 801 in sequence, and the flange 100 rotates while maintaining the clamped state. After another set of clamping rotation mechanisms clamps the valve 200, the flange 100 and the valve 200 will rotate synchronously and coaxially.
[0034] The welding assembly is arranged on the frame 1, and includes a welding gun 33 facing the joint of the flange 100 and the valve 200, a slide rail 30 arranged on the frame 1, a slider 31 slidably arranged on the slide rail 30, a bracket 32 arranged on the slider 31, and a second threaded knob 34 threadedly connected to the slider 31. The welding gun 33 is arranged on the bracket 32, a second channel 301 is arranged on the slide rail 30, a first channel 101 connected to the second channel 301 is arranged on the frame 1, and the second threaded knob 34 penetrates the first channel 101 and the second channel 301 and abuts against the frame 1. After the flange 100 and the valve 200 are butt-clamped, it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding gun 33, and align the welding gun 33 with the joint of the flange 100 and the valve 200 to facilitate accurate circumferential welding. When adjusting the position of the welding gun 33, first loosen the second threaded knob 34, then move the bracket 32, and after adjusting the welding gun 33 to the right position, tighten the second threaded knob 34, and the second threaded knob 34 is pressed against the frame 1 to ensure that the welding gun 33 is stably maintained in the adjusted position.
[0035] This embodiment can drive the valve 200 and the flange 100 to rotate synchronously for effective welding, and can coaxially clamp, align and weld valves 200 and flanges 100 of different specifications, with a wide range of applications and high welding accuracy. The two sets of clamping and rotating mechanisms are used to clamp the flange 100 and the valve 200 respectively. Under the driving action of the power device, the two sets of clamping and rotating mechanisms operate simultaneously. After clamping the flange 100 and the valve 200, they can be automatically aligned, and can drive the flange 100 and the valve 200 to rotate about the same central axis, ensuring accurate circumferential welding of the butt joint by the welding gun 33.
[0036] Embodiment 2, as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the automatic welding device of a safety valve proposed in this embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, a guide rod 28 is vertically arranged on the frame 1, a first threaded knob 29 is vertically rotatably connected on the frame 1, a bracket 27 is slidably arranged on the guide rod 28, and the bracket 27 is threadedly connected with the first threaded knob 29. Before clamping the flange 100, the valve 200 is first placed on the bracket 27, the first threaded knob 29 is rotated, and the height of the bracket 27 is adjusted. The bracket 27 drives the valve 200 to a height where the central axis of the welding end is slightly lower than the central axis of the inner gear ring 3 in a set of clamping rotating mechanisms. Then the flange 100 is passed through the inner side of the multiple clamping rotating components in another set of clamping rotating mechanisms, and the welding ends of the flange 100 and the valve 200 are butted, so as to be clamped and driven to rotate by two sets of clamping rotating mechanisms respectively. The bracket 27 plays the role of assisting in supporting the valve 200 to facilitate the workers to butt the flange 100 with the valve 200, saving the workers' effort.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
