Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas pipeline construction, and in particular to a welding device for gas pipeline construction. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of gas pipelines, welded parts made of seamless steel pipes and flanges are often used. For example, in order to achieve the connection between the main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines, multiple welded parts need to be welded to the main pipeline, and then the flanges on the welded parts are fastened together with the flanges on the corresponding branch pipelines with bolts to achieve the connection between the main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines.

[0003] During the construction of gas pipelines, welded parts of external steel pipes and flanges are often used. For example, in order to install valves or other equipment on the pipeline, it is necessary to first thread the external steel pipes on the two welded parts to the two ends of the valve, and then fasten the flange on one of the welded parts to the flange on the outlet pipe with bolts, and then fasten the flange on the other welded part to the flange on the inlet pipe with bolts.

[0004] Currently, during the welding process, the steel pipe and flange need to be manually butted together first, and then the worker uses a welding gun to manually weld them, or uses an automatic welding machine for circumferential welding. However, both methods require the steel pipe and flange to be manually butted together first, which reduces the efficiency of the welding process and may be affected by some subjective factors, such as work experience, work endurance, work mentality, etc., resulting in inaccurate butt joints, which in turn reduces the quality of the welded parts.

[0018] When the flip frame drives the pneumatic clamp to move upward, the push rod rotates the clamp upward by squeezing the knob, so that the steel pipe in the material box can fall on the clamp. When the pneumatic clamp clamps the steel pipe, the clamp will reset under the action of the torsion spring to continue to prevent the upper steel pipe from falling downward, and the active block will squeeze the driven block to move the clamp away from the bottom of the steel pipe on it, so that the flip frame can realize the function of single loading of steel pipes through the pneumatic clamp.

[0019] When the push plate moves, it drives the transmission slide shaft to press the connecting rod downward through the transmission slide rod, so that the connecting rod can drive the flip frame and the welding gun to move downward synchronously, which not only realizes the function of synchronously connecting the steel pipe and the flange, but also drives the welding gun to move downward to weld the connected steel pipe and flange together;

[0020] When the positioning slide moves toward the bottom of the material box, the outer contact block will squeeze the inner contact block to clamp the lower positioning rod and the upper positioning rod to position the flange and the steel pipe, and the lower stop block will block the upper stop block to keep the lower positioning rod and the upper positioning rod in a clamped state, so that the positioning slide can drive the docked flange and steel pipe to move toward the bottom of the welding gun, and the pressure rod will squeeze the inclined plate downward to make the lower stop block cancel the blockage of the upper stop block, so that the steel pipe and flange are automatically released when they move to the bottom of the welding gun.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Reference herein to an embodiment means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of such a phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] Example 1: A welding device for gas pipeline construction, as shown in 1. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 12As shown, it includes a base 1, a left bracket 101, a left lifting frame 102, a welding gun 103, a middle bracket 104, a material box 105, a middle lifting frame 106, a flip frame 107, a gear 108, a pneumatic clamp 109, a rack 110, a workbench 111, a barrel 4, a pushing plate 401 and a material blocking plate 402. The left bracket 101 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the left lifting frame 102 is slidably connected to the left bracket 101 in the vertical direction. The welding gun 103 is fixedly installed on the left lifting frame 102. The welding gun 103 The base 1 is fixed with a middle bracket 104, and a material box 105 is fixed on the middle bracket 104. The material box 105 is used to place the steel pipe 10 to be welded. The middle bracket 104 is symmetrically connected to two middle lifting frames 106 for sliding. The middle lifting frames 106 are fixed to the left lifting frame 102. The middle lifting frames 106 slide in the vertical direction. The middle lifting frames 106 are rotatably connected to the flip frame 107. The rotating shaft of the flip frame 107 is fixed with a gear 108. The flip frame 107 is away from the gear 108. One side is connected with a pneumatic clamp 109 which is slidable in the horizontal direction. The pneumatic clamp 109 is a prior art. The pneumatic clamp 109 is used to clamp the steel pipe 10 in the material box 105. There are two racks 110 symmetrically fixed on the middle bracket 104. When the middle lifting frame 106 moves downward, the gear 108 cooperates with the rack 110 to drive the flip frame 107 to rotate ninety degrees, so that the steel pipe 10 can be rotated to a vertical state to dock with the flange 11 downward. The side of the material box 105 away from the left lifting frame 102 is fixed. It is connected to a barrel 4, which is used to place a flange 11 to be welded. The distance between the barrel 4 and the workbench 111 only allows one horizontally placed flange 11 to pass through. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the workbench 111, and a pushing plate 401 is slidably connected to the workbench 111 along the length direction. The pushing plate 401 is used to push the flange 11 that falls on the workbench 111 to the bottom of the material box 105. The pushing plate 401 is fixedly connected to a blocking plate 402 for preventing the flange 11 in the barrel 4 from falling downward.

[0037] The steel pipes 10 to be welded are stacked and placed in the material box 105 in advance, and the steel pipes 10 are placed horizontally, and the flanges 11 to be welded are stacked and placed in the barrel 4. The flange 11 at the bottom will fall onto the workbench 111. When the welding process starts, the pneumatic clamp 109 is first controlled to approach and clamp the steel pipe 10 at the bottom of the material box 105, and then the middle lifting frame 106 and the left lifting frame 102 are controlled to move downward. During the downward movement, the gear 108 will engage with the rack 110, so that the gear 108 drives the flip frame 107 to rotate ninety degrees, thereby driving the steel pipe 10 to rotate to a vertical state through the pneumatic clamp 109 to facilitate docking with the flange 11 below. At the same time, the pushing plate 401 is controlled to push the flange 11 that falls on the workbench 111 to the bottom of the material box 105, so as to dock the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11 together. After the left lifting frame 102 moves downward, the welding gun 103 will be aligned with the butt joint of the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11, and then the welding gun 103 is started to start welding, and the flange 11 and the steel pipe 10 are rotated at the same time, so as to realize the welding of the entire butt joint. Figure 12 The figure shows the usage status of the weldment.

[0038] like Figure 3-Figure 7As shown, it also includes a material control mechanism for preventing the steel pipe 10 in the material box 105 from falling out directly. The material control mechanism cooperates with the pneumatic clamping claw 109. The material control mechanism includes a support plate 2, a No. 1 spring 201, a material control support rod 202, a claw, a torsion spring 204, a knob 205 and a push rod 208. There are two support plates 2 symmetrically connected in a sliding manner on the material box 105. The support plates 2 slide in the horizontal direction. A No. 1 spring 201 is sleeved on the guide shaft of the support plate 2. When the two support plates 2 move back to back, the No. 1 spring 201 will be compressed. The back ends of the two support plates 2 are fixed with a material control support rod 202. There are two claws symmetrically connected in rotation on the material control support rod 202. The claws are U-shaped. The claws in the horizontal state cannot rotate downward, and the two claws are arranged relatively to each other. A torsion spring 204 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the claw, one end of which is fixedly connected to the material control support rod 202, and the other end of the torsion spring 204 is fixedly connected to the claw. The torsion spring 204 is used to keep the claw in a horizontal state. The horizontal claw will prevent the upper steel pipe 10 from falling downward, and only one steel pipe 10 can be accommodated between the two claws. A knob 205 is fixedly connected to the claw, and a push rod 208 is fixedly connected to the pneumatic clamping jaw 109. When the pneumatic clamping jaw 109 drives the push rod 208 to move upward, it will contact the eccentric position of the knob 205, and by squeezing the knob 205, it drives the upper clamping plate 206 to rotate upward, thereby allowing the upper steel pipe 10 to fall between the two claws. When the pneumatic clamping jaw 109 approaches the steel pipe 10, the push rod 208 will disengage from the knob 205.

[0039] The torsion spring 204 will keep the claws in a horizontal state, and since the claws in the horizontal state cannot rotate downward, when the steel pipe 10 is placed in the material box 105, it will be blocked by the claws, so that the steel pipe 10 cannot fall out of the material box 105; when the middle lifting frame 106 drives the pneumatic clamping jaws 109 to move upward, the top rod 208 will contact the eccentric position of the knob 205, and by squeezing the knob 205, it drives the claws to rotate upward, so that the upper steel pipe 10 can fall between the two claws. When the claws rotate, the torsion spring 204 will store power, and then control the pneumatic clamping jaws 1 09 approaches and clamps the steel pipe 10, the pneumatic clamp 109 will drive the push rod 208 and the knob 205 to disengage, and the knob 205 and the clamp will rotate and reset to a horizontal state under the action of the torsion spring 204. The steel pipe 10 at the bottom will be stuck between the two clamps, and the upper steel pipe 10 will be blocked by the clamps and cannot continue to fall downward. Then the two support plates 2 are moved back to back so that the pneumatic clamp 109 can transport the steel pipe 10 between the two clamps downward. When the steel pipe 10 is moved out from between the two clamps, the No. 1 spring 201 pushes the support plate 2 to reset.

[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the clamping claw includes a connecting buckle 203, an upper clamping plate 206 and a lower clamping plate 207. The material control support rod 202 is symmetrically connected to two connecting buckles 203 for rotation. One end of the torsion spring 204 is fixed to the connecting buckle 203. The upper side of the connecting buckle 203 is fixed with the upper clamping plate 206, and the lower side of the connecting buckle 203 is fixed with the lower clamping plate 207. The upper clamping plate 206 and the lower clamping plate 207 are both located on the opposite side of the two connecting buckles 203, and the upper clamping plate 206 and the lower clamping plate 207 are arranged in parallel.

[0041] When the upper clamping plates 206 and the lower clamping plates 207 are both in a horizontal state, only one steel pipe 10 can be accommodated between the two sets of upper clamping plates 206 and lower clamping plates 207, and the upper clamping plates 206 will prevent the upper steel pipe 10 from falling downward.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the width of the upper clamping plate 206 is greater than the width of the lower clamping plate 207, so that the upper clamping plate 206 can continue to prevent the upper steel pipe 10 from falling downward after the support plates 2 move away from each other.

[0043] When the two support plates 2 move back to back, since the width of the upper clamping plate 206 is greater than the width of the lower clamping plate 207, when the lower clamping plate 207 moves away from under the steel pipe 10, the upper clamping plate 206 can still block the upper steel pipe 10 from falling, preventing the upper steel pipe 10 from falling out of the material box 105 together, thereby realizing the function of single loading.

[0044] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, it also includes an unlocking component that enables the steel pipe 10 between the two claws to be taken out. The unlocking component is connected to the support plate 2. The unlocking component includes a driven block 3 and an active block 301. Two driven blocks 3 are symmetrically fixed on the support plate 2. The active block 301 is fixed on the pneumatic clamp 109. The active block 301 and the driven block 3 are squeezed together to drive the support plate 2 to move back to back, so that the claws no longer block the steel pipe 10 from moving downward out of the material box 105.

[0045] When the pneumatic clamp 109 approaches and clamps the steel pipe 10, it will drive the active block 301 to squeeze the driven block 3, and by squeezing the driven block 3, the two support plates 2 will move away from each other. During the downward movement of the middle lifting frame 106, when the steel pipe 10 moves below the lower clamping plate 207, the active block 301 will disengage from the driven block 3, so that the support plate 2 can be reset under the action of the No. 1 spring 201.

[0046] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes a transmission mechanism for synchronously docking the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11, the transmission mechanism is connected to the push plate 401, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission guide frame 5, a transmission slide shaft 501, a transmission slide rod 502, a connecting rod 503, a right bracket 504, a power guide rod 505 and a second spring 506, two transmission guide frames 5 are symmetrically fixed on the base 1, and an inclined slideway is provided on the transmission guide frame 5, and the height of the end of the slideway close to the middle bracket 104 is lower than that of the other end. The transmission slide shaft 501 is slidably connected in the slideway, and two transmission slide rods 502 are symmetrically slidably connected on the push plate 401, and the transmission slide rod 502 slides in the vertical direction. The upper side of the transmission slide rod 502 and the adjacent transmission The sliding shaft 501 is rotatably connected, and two right brackets 504 are symmetrically fixed on the base 1. The right bracket 504 is slidably connected with a connecting rod 503 in the vertical direction. The connecting rod 503 is fixed to the middle lifting frame 106 on the same side. When the pushing plate 401 pushes the flange 11 to the bottom of the material box 105, the transmission sliding shaft 501 slides downward along the slide, and the transmission sliding shaft 501 pushes the connecting rod 503 downward. Four power-assisting guide rods 505 are symmetrically fixed on the base 1, and each two power-assisting guide rods 505 form a group. The middle lifting frame 106 is slidably connected to a group of power-assisting guide rods 505 on the same side. A No. 2 spring 506 is provided on the power-assisting guide rod 505, and the No. 2 spring 506 will be compressed when the middle lifting frame 106 moves downward.

[0047] When the pushing plate 401 moves toward the bottom of the material box 105, it will drive the transmission slide shaft 501 to slide along the transmission guide frame 5 through the transmission slide rod 502. The transmission slide shaft 501 will press the connecting rod 503 downward, and the connecting rod 503 will drive the middle lifting frame 106 and the left lifting frame 102 to slide downward, thereby synchronously driving the pushing plate 401 to push the flange 11 to the bottom of the material box 105, the pneumatic clamp 109 to convey the steel pipe 10 downward, and the welding gun 103 to move downward. When the middle lifting frame 106 moves downward, the No. 2 spring 506 will be compressed. During the process of the pushing plate 401 resetting toward the direction of the barrel 4, the No. 2 spring 506 will push the left lifting frame 102, the middle lifting frame 106 and the connecting rod 503 to reset upward.

[0048] like Figures 8-10As shown, it also includes a positioning mechanism for positioning and conveying the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11. The positioning mechanism is installed on the workbench 111. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning slide 6, a lower positioning rod 601, a first tension spring 602 and an upper positioning rod 603. The workbench 111 is slidably connected with a positioning slide 6 along the length direction. Two lower positioning rods 601 are symmetrically slidably connected on the positioning slide 6. The lower positioning rod 601 is used to clamp and position the flange 11. A first tension spring 602 is sleeved on the guide shaft of the lower positioning rod 601. One end of the first tension spring 602 is fixed to the lower positioning rod 601, and the other end of the first tension spring 602 is fixed to the positioning slide 6. When the two lower positioning rods 601 move relative to each other, the first tension spring 602 will be stretched. The upper positioning rod 603 is fixed to the upper side of the lower positioning rod 601. The upper positioning rod 603 is used to clamp and position the steel pipe 10.

[0049] When the pushing plate 401 pushes the flange 11 to the bottom of the material box 105, the positioning slide 6 is controlled to slide to the bottom of the material box 105. When the upper positioning rod 603 is about to be concentric with the steel pipe 10, the lower positioning rods 601 on both sides move relative to each other. When the lower positioning rod 601 moves relative to each other, the first tension spring 602 will be stretched, and the upper positioning rod 603 will also move relative to each other, so that the lower positioning rod 601 clamps the flange 11, and the upper positioning rod 603 clamps the steel pipe 10, realizing the function of positioning and clamping the flange 11 and the steel pipe 10. When the pushing plate 401 is reset in the direction of the barrel 4, the positioning slide 6 is controlled to reset to the bottom of the welding gun 103. The lower positioning rod 601 and the upper positioning rod 603 drive the clamped steel pipe 10 and the flange 11 to move to the bottom of the welding gun 103, and push the previous welded steel pipe 10 and flange 11 away from the workbench 111.

[0050] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes an adjustment mechanism for driving the positioning mechanism to clamp the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11. The adjustment mechanism is connected to the lower positioning rod 601. The adjustment mechanism includes an inner contact block 7, an upper stop block 701, a lower stop block 702, a No. 3 spring 703, an inclined plate 704, a pressure rod 705 and an outer contact block 706. The opposite ends of the two lower positioning rods 601 are fixedly connected to the inner contact block 7. The outer contact block 706 is fixedly connected to the middle bracket 104. The outer contact block 706 is used to squeeze the inner contact block 7 to drive the lower positioning rod 601 close to the flange 11. The lower end of the inner contact block 7 is fixedly connected to the upper stop block 701. The positioning slide 6 slides along the vertical direction to connect It is connected to a lower stop block 702. When the lower positioning rod 601 approaches the flange 11, the upper stop block 701 will squeeze the lower stop block 702 downward. The lower stop block 702 blocks the upper stop block 701 to keep the lower positioning rod 601 clamped on the flange 11. A No. 3 spring 703 is sleeved on the guide shaft of the lower stop block 702. When the lower stop block 702 moves downward, the No. 3 spring 703 will be compressed. The lower end of the lower stop block 702 is fixedly connected to a ramp panel 704. Two pressure rods 705 are symmetrically fixed to the left bracket 101. The pressure rods 705 are used to squeeze the ramp panel 704 downward to drive the lower stop block 702 to cancel the restriction on the upper stop block 701.

[0051] When the positioning slide 6 slides toward the bottom of the material box 105, when the upper positioning rod 603 is about to be concentric with the steel pipe 10, the outer contact block 706 will begin to squeeze the inner contact block 7 in the direction of the lower positioning rod 601, thereby driving the lower positioning rod 601 and the upper positioning rod 603 to clamp the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11. During the movement of the inner contact block 7 and the lower positioning rod 601, the upper block 701 will first squeeze the lower block 702 downward and compress the No. 3 spring 703. When the lower positioning rod 601 clamps the flange 11, the upper block 701 just breaks away from the lower block 702. The lower block 702 resets upward under the action of the No. 3 spring 703 to block the upper block 7 01 moves in the direction away from the lower positioning rod 601, so that the lower positioning rod 601 and the upper positioning rod 603 maintain the clamping of the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11, and the first tension spring 602 remains in a compressed and stretched state; during the reset process of the positioning slide 6 to the bottom of the welding gun 103, the pressure rod 705 will contact the inclined plate 704, and the pressure rod 705 will press the inclined plate 704 downward to move the lower stop block 702 downward, and will compress the No. 3 spring 703. When the lower stop block 702 moves to below the upper stop block 701, the first tension spring 602 drives the lower positioning rod 601 and the upper positioning rod 603 to loosen the clamping of the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11.

[0052] Example 3: Based on Example 2, Figure 2 and Figure 11As shown, it also includes a rotating mechanism for driving the steel pipe 10 and the flange 11 to rotate. The rotating mechanism is connected to the left lifting frame 102. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating frame 8, a clamping guide plate 801, a fourth spring 802, a clamping block 803, a second tension spring 804, an outward expansion rod 805, a rotating motor 806 and a turntable 807. The left lifting frame 102 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 8. Two clamping guide plates 801 are slidably connected to the rotating frame 8 in the vertical direction. The guide shaft of the clamping guide plate 801 is sleeved with a fourth spring 802. When the clamping guide plate 801 moves upward, it will The No. 4 spring 802 is compressed, and a clamping block 803 is connected to the clamping guide plate 801 in a horizontal sliding direction for clamping the steel pipe 10 from the inside. A second tension spring 804 is connected between the two clamping blocks 803. An outward expansion rod 805 is fixed to the rotating frame 8. When the rotating frame 8 approaches the clamping guide plate 801, the outward expansion rod 805 will drive the two clamping blocks 803 to move in opposite directions to clamp the steel pipe 10. A rotating motor 806 is fixed to the left lifting frame 102, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 806 is fixed to the rotating frame 8. A turntable 807 is rotatably connected to the workbench 111.

[0053] When the left lifting frame 102 moves downward, it will drive the expansion rod 805 to enter the interior of the steel pipe 10, and the clamping guide plate 801 will contact the top of the steel pipe 10. Then the left lifting frame 102 continues to move downward. Since the clamping guide plate 801 is blocked by the steel pipe 10, the rotating frame 8 will move downward relative to the clamping guide plate 801 and compress the No. 4 spring 802. At this time, the expansion rod 805 will squeeze the two clamping blocks 803. The two clamping blocks 803 move back to back to fit the inner wall of the steel pipe 10, thereby clamping the steel pipe 10 from the inside and stretching the second tension spring 804. When the welding gun 103 starts welding, the rotating motor 806 is started. The rotating motor 806 rotates through The clamping block 803 drives the steel pipe 10, the flange 11 and the turntable 807 to rotate synchronously, so that the welding gun 103 can complete the welding of the entire circular butt joint; when the left lifting frame 102 moves upward, since the No. 4 spring 802 is in a compressed state, the rotating frame 8 will move upward first, and the clamping guide 801 maintains contact with the top of the steel pipe 10, and the outward expansion rod 805 will first move upward relative to the clamping guide 801, so that the second tension spring 804 can drive the two clamping blocks 803 to move relative to each other, thereby causing the clamping blocks 803 to break contact with the inner wall of the steel pipe 10. When the No. 4 spring 802 recovers, the left lifting frame 102 drives the rotating frame 8 and the clamping guide 801 to reset upward synchronously.

[0054] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, it also includes a bidirectional screw 9, a driving plate 901 and an active motor 902 for driving the pushing plate 401 and the positioning slide 6. The bidirectional screw 9 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the workbench 111. Two threads are symmetrically opened on the bidirectional screw 9, one of which is threadedly connected to the positioning slide 6, and the other thread is threadedly connected to the driving plate 901. The driving plate 901 and the pushing plate 401 are fixedly connected. When the bidirectional screw 9 rotates, it will drive the pushing plate 401 and the positioning slide 6 to move toward each other. The active motor 902 is fixedly connected to the workbench 111, and the output shaft of the active motor 902 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 9.

[0055] When the active motor 902 drives the bidirectional lead screw 9 to rotate forward, it drives the driving plate 901 and the positioning slide 6 to move in opposite directions. When the bidirectional lead screw 9 rotates reversely, it drives the driving plate 901 and the positioning slide 6 to move relative to each other.
