Description

[0002] In industrial piping systems, the connection between bellows and flanges is a common structural form, and its stability and sealing are crucial to the safe operation of the entire system. Traditional welding methods have some obvious shortcomings when connecting bellows and flanges. During the welding process, due to the flexible characteristics of the bellows, it is easy to shake due to uneven heating or external force during welding, which not only affects the welding quality, but also may cause the bellows to deform after welding and affect its sealing performance. In addition, after the bellows and flanges are directly welded, due to the heat effect during the welding process, large welding stresses will be generated inside the material. If these stresses are not effectively released, they will accelerate the fatigue damage of the material and shorten the service life of the bellows.

[0003] In the existing technology, the welding and fixing of bellows and flanges usually rely on external clamps or supporting structures, which are often bulky and difficult to adjust, and difficult to adapt to bellows of different sizes and shapes.

[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention, a bellows welding device, including a frame 1 and a bellows fixing mechanism 2 and a flange fixing mechanism 3 installed on the frame 1;

[0048] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the bellows fixing mechanism 2 is used to fix the bellows. The bellows fixing mechanism 2 includes a mounting seat 21, an air pump 22, a heater 23, an air bag 24 and a plurality of fixing rods 25. The mounting seat 21 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, the fixing rods 25 are slidably connected to the mounting seat 21, and the fixing rods 25 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the mounting seat 21. Four fixing rods 25 are arranged in the present application, but the present application does not impose a specific restriction on the number thereof, and three or more fixing rods 25 can also be installed. An air passage 211 is provided at the center of the mounting seat 21, the air bag 24 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 21, and the air bag 24 surrounds the left end port of the air passage 211, so that the air bag 24 can receive the air output by the air passage 211 and expand. The air bag 24 is used to provide power for the radial movement of the fixing rod 25 along the mounting seat 21 and to abut against the inner wall of the bellows 6. During the expansion process, the air bag 24 pushes the fixing rod 25 to move radially until the fixing rod 25 abuts against the inner wall of the bellows 6. The airbag 24 is provided with a protrusion 241 matching the bellows 6. After the airbag 24 is expanded, the protrusion 241 on the airbag 24 can fit the corrugated section on the bellows 6 to further enhance the fixation. The heater 23 is located in the airway 211. The heater 23 is used to heat the air. The heater 23 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The output end of the air pump 22 is connected to the input end of the heater 23. The output end of the heater 23 is communicated with the airbag 24. The heater 23 and the air pump 22 are connected through an air pipe. The heater 23 and the one-way valve 242 are connected through an air pipe. The air pump 22 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The air pump 22 is used to blow air into the airbag 24 to expand the airbag 24. The air pump 22 continuously introduces air into the airbag 24. The internal fixing structure of the airbag 24 and the fixing rod 25 can effectively fix the bellows 6 to prevent it from shaking during welding, thereby improving the stability and quality of welding, simplifying the welding operation, reducing manual intervention, and improving welding efficiency.

[0049] The hot air in the airbag 24 preheats the bellows 6, which helps to eliminate welding stress, reduce welding deformation, and improve the strength and reliability of the welded joint. In the process of fixing the bellows 6, the bellows 6 is preheated simultaneously to reduce welding stress.

[0050] The airbag 24 is provided with a one-way valve 242 and a pressure relief valve 243, both of which are located in the airway 211. Both the one-way valve 242 and the pressure relief valve 243 are solenoid-controlled valves. The input end of the one-way valve 242 is connected to the output end of the heater 23. The one-way valve 242 allows the air output by the air pump 22 to enter the airbag 24 in one direction, and the pressure relief valve 243 releases excess gas after the pressure in the airbag 24 reaches a certain pressure.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the mounting seat 21 is provided with a radially extending slide groove 212, and the fixing rod 25 is provided with a slide seat 251 matching the slide groove 212. The slide groove 212 and the slide seat 251 correspond one to one, and the slide seat 251 is slidably arranged in the corresponding slide groove 212. The design of the slide seat 251 and the slide groove 212 can increase the stability of the fixing rod 25.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bellows fixing mechanism 2 also includes a linkage assembly 26, which is used to connect the fixing rod 25 so that the fixing rod 25 moves radially synchronously.

The connecting rods 262 correspond to the slide seats 251 one by one. The connecting rods 262 are fixedly connected to the corresponding slide seats 251. A connecting portion 213 is protruded on the right end surface of the mounting seat 21. The connecting portion 213 surrounds the airway 211. The sliding sleeve 261 and the connecting portion 213 slide Dynamic connection, the transmission rod 263 and the connecting rod 262 correspond one to one, one end of the transmission rod 263 is rotationally connected to the corresponding connecting rod 262, and the other end is rotationally connected to the sliding sleeve 261, and the linkage assembly 26 connects all the fixed rods 25 so that the fixed rods 25 can move synchronously. On the one hand, the fixed rods 25 can synchronously contact the inner wall surface of the bellows 6, and on the other hand, the positioning of the bellows 6 can be achieved, so that after the bellows 6 is fixed, the central axis of the bellows 6 is coaxial with the central axis of the chuck 31 of the flange fixing mechanism 3.

[0053] During the radial outward movement of the fixed rod 25, the slide 251 also moves radially outward, and the slide 251 drives the connecting rod 262 to move. The connecting rod 262 drives the sliding sleeve 261 to slide on the connecting portion 213 through the transmission rod 263. Since the transmission rod 263 is connected to the sliding sleeve 261, the fixed rod 25 moves synchronously.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the welding fixture also includes a stress relief device 5 arranged on the frame 1, and the stress relief device 5 includes a striking hammer 51 and a driving assembly 52. ​​The striking hammer 51 is used to strike the welding point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7, and the driving assembly 52 is used to provide power for the circumferential rotation of the striking hammer 51 and for the striking hammer 51 to strike the welding point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7.

[0062] The transmission gear 527 is meshed with the outer ring of the gear ring 521, and the output shaft of the motor 528 is in transmission connection with the transmission gear 527. The motor 528 is used to provide power for the circumferential rotation of the planetary gear 529 around the sun gear 529 and the self-rotation;

[0063] The radial driving member 526 and the transmission gear 527 are fixedly connected, and the percussion hammer 51 is arranged on the output end of the radial driving member 526.

[0065] A sliding cavity 11 is provided on the frame 1, and a slider 5232 matching the sliding cavity 11 is arranged on the mounting frame 523. The slider 5232 and the sliding cavity 11 are slidably connected. The design of the sliding cavity 11 and the slider 5232 can make the stress relief device 5 move stably.

[0066] The welding mechanism 4 is used for welding the bellows and the flange. The welding mechanism 4 includes a welding bracket 41, a welding motor 42, a welding gear 43, a welding gear ring 44, a third transverse drive 45, a welding radial drive 46 and a welding gun 47. The welding bracket 41 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The welding bracket 41 has a welding slider matching the sliding cavity 11.

The welding radial drive member 46 can be a power device such as a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a screw transmission mechanism, etc. The welding radial drive member 46 is used to provide power for the radial movement of the welding gun 47.

[0067] In the initial state, the slide seat 251 on the fixing rod 25 is located at one end of the slide groove 212 close to the air passage 211 , and at this time, the diameter of the circle where the fixing rod 25 is located is smaller than the diameter of the bellows 6 .

[0068] When fixing the bellows 6, the bellows 6 is sleeved on the airbag 24 and its fixing rod 25 (such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the heater 23 starts to heat the air, the air pump 22 starts to make the air flow, and the air pump 22 blows the air into the airbag 24. After the hot air is blown into the airbag 24, the airbag 24 expands and drives the fixed rod 25 to move radially outward. Due to the existence of the linkage assembly 26, the fixed rod 25 moves synchronously, and the slide groove 212 guides the fixed rod 25. The slide seat 251 moves along the slide groove 212. During the expansion process of the airbag 24, since hot air is blown in, the bellows 6 can be preheated synchronously. The airbag 24 continues to expand until the fixed rods 25 are against the inner wall of the bellows 6 (as shown in the figure). Figure 6As shown), the protrusion 241 on the airbag 24 is embedded in the corrugated section of the bellows 6 to fix the bellows 6 (as shown Figure 5 As shown), the synchronous movement of the fixing rod 25 can also realize the positioning of the bellows 6, so that the central axis of the bellows 6 and the central axis of the chuck 31 are coaxial.

[0069] When fixing the flange 7, the flange 7 is clamped by the chuck 31. After the flange 7 is clamped, the central axis of the flange 7 is coaxial with the central axis of the chuck 31, that is, the central axis of the flange 7 is coaxial with the central axis of the bellows 6. The first transverse driving member 32 is started to drive the flange 7 close to the bellows 6 until it contacts the bellows 6. The contact point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7 is a welding point, and the contact point has a circular structure. At this time, welding can begin.

[0070] When the welding mechanism 4 is welding and the flange fixing mechanism 3 passes through the stress relief device 5, the angle of the striking hammer 51 can be adjusted by the rotation of the planetary gear 529, so that the striking hammer 51 is in an avoidance state (such as Figure 7 As shown), thereby avoiding affecting the lateral movement of the flange fixing mechanism 3 and the circumferential rotation and radial movement of the welding gun 47 of the welding mechanism 4

[0071] During welding, the third transverse driving member 45 is started to drive the welding gear ring 44 to move transversely through the welding bracket 41, and the welding gear ring 44 drives the welding gun 47 to move transversely through the welding radial driving member 46 until the welding gun 47 moves to the upper part of the contact point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7 or to the radial path of the contact point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7 (such as Figure 7 As shown), the welding radial drive 46 is started to make the welding gun 47 approach the contact point of the bellows 6 and the flange 7 until it reaches a suitable welding distance, and welding begins. The welding motor 42 is started to drive the welding gear 43 to rotate, and the welding gear 43 drives the welding gear ring 44 to rotate. The welding gear ring 44 drives the welding gun 47 to rotate circumferentially through the welding radial drive 46, thereby realizing circumferential welding of the contact point of the bellows 6 and the flange 7. After welding is completed, the welding gun 47 is removed.

[0072] When striking to reduce stress, the second lateral driving member 525 causes the striking hammer 51 to move laterally close to the welding point between the bellows 6 and the flange 7 (eg Figure 8 As shown), until the hammer 51 and the weld are in the same plane, the radial drive member 26 starts to drive the hammer 51 to move radially close to the weld until the hammer 51 can contact the weld (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9As shown), at this time, the motor 528 starts to drive the transmission gear 527 to rotate, the transmission gear 527 drives the ring gear 521 to transmit, the ring gear 521 drives the planetary gear 529 to rotate, and due to the restrictions of the sun gear 522 and the connecting frame 524, the planetary gear 529 completes its own rotation during the circumferential rotation around the sun gear 522, and the planetary gear 529 thereby drives the circumferential rotation of the knocking hammer 51 and the self-rotation of the knocking hammer 51. When the knocking hammer 51 rotates, the welding point is knocked, and the circumferential rotation of the knocking hammer 51 realizes circumferential knocking around the welding point.

[0073] During the striking, after striking the weld, the striking hammer 51 will retract close to the radial driving member 526 , so that the striking hammer 51 can pass over the weld for the next striking, thereby preventing the striking hammer 51 from getting stuck.
