Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pressure vessel processing equipment, and in particular to a pressure vessel head welding frame with a centering structure. Background Art

[0002] Pressure vessels refer to closed equipment used to contain gas or liquid and bear a certain pressure. They are widely used. The head is the end cover on the pressure vessel and is also a major pressure-bearing component of the pressure vessel. There are many types of heads, including convex heads, cone shells, reducers, flat covers and tightening mouth designs, and different types of heads have different manufacturing methods due to their different models.

[0003] The authorization announcement in the prior art is: CN 115229416 A, and its name is: A pressure vessel head welding frame, which belongs to the technical field of pressure vessel processing equipment. The welding frame includes a base body, on which a moving assembly and a welding assembly are equipped. The moving assembly is designed with two sets of positioning assemblies that can move relatively. These positioning assemblies are composed of a moving plate, an end positioning unit and a bottom positioning unit. The moving plate is installed on the moving assembly, and the end positioning unit and the bottom positioning unit are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the top of the moving plate. The core of this invention is that through the synergistic effect of the end positioning unit and the bottom positioning unit, the precise support and positioning of the semi-head can be achieved. In addition, a limit assembly is introduced to further improve the accuracy of positioning and ensure the firmness and stability of the supporting structure.

[0004] However, the patent uses a half head for welding, and after the welding of the half head is completed, the welded head still needs to be combined and welded, which is inefficient;

[0005] In addition, the automatic welding of the head in the prior art usually adopts the method of welding four points to preliminarily fix the head and the container body before moving it to the machine for final welding. The accuracy of welding using this method depends largely on the accuracy of manual preliminary welding, because the accuracy of manual welding may be inaccurate;

[0006] In addition, the welding in the prior art usually adopts single-sided welding, and it is impossible to weld the inner surface and the outer surface of the weld at the same time, and the welding effect is poor. Summary of the invention

[0054] Embodiment 2: This embodiment provides a pressure vessel head welding frame with a centering structure, which further includes the following structure based on Embodiment 1:

[0055] like Figure 1 to Figure 9As shown, this embodiment proposes a pressure vessel head welding frame with a centering structure, including a head fixing assembly 3 including a turntable 301 installed on the top of a working top seat, a column 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the turntable 301, a lifting threaded rod 304 is rotatably installed inside the column 302, a lifting plate 305 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the lifting threaded rod 304, a fixing plate 306 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting plate 305, a positioning column 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 306, four electric rotating shafts 312 evenly distributed in an annular array are rotatably installed inside the positioning column 307 near the bottom end, an auxiliary support shaft 311 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the electric rotating shaft 312, four rotating arms 310 evenly distributed in an annular array are rotatably installed inside the positioning column 307, one end of the auxiliary support shaft 311 is movably hinged inside the rotating arm 310, and a positioning wheel 313 is rotatably installed inside the rotating arm 310;

[0056] like Figure 1 to Figure 9 As shown, a servo motor is installed at the bottom of the turntable 301, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a coaxially arranged switching shaft through a coupling, and the turntable 301 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the switching shaft;

[0057] A lifting motor 303 is installed on the top of the column 302. The output end of the lifting motor 303 is fixedly connected to a coaxially arranged connecting rod through a coupling.

[0060] The first positioning wheel 309 and the second positioning wheel 313 are both made of polyetheretherketone.

[0062] Finally, the use of polyetheretherketone, a high-temperature resistant material, can ensure that the clamping effect will not deteriorate due to the increase in temperature during the preheating process.

[0063] Embodiment 3: This embodiment provides a pressure vessel head welding frame with a centering structure, which further includes the following structure based on Embodiments 1 and 2:

[0064] like Figure 1 to Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment proposes a pressure vessel head welding frame with a centering structure, including a synchronous welding assembly 4 including a synchronous gear 402 rotatably mounted inside a fixed plate 306, a motor mounting seat fixedly connected to the top of the synchronous gear 402, a welding motor 416 installed on the top of the motor mounting seat, an output end of the welding motor 416 is fixedly connected to a coaxially arranged rotating shaft through a coupling, a lifting gear 403 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft, and a rotating sleeve 417 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the synchronous gear 402 The sleeve and the lifting gear 403 are jointly provided with a through lifting groove, the lifting groove is slidably connected with a moving connecting rod 404, one side of the moving connecting rod 404 is fixedly connected with a lifting rack, the lifting gear 403 and the lifting rack are meshingly connected, the bottom of the moving connecting rod 404 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 405, the internal welding head 406 is nested with an adjusting shaft 407, the connecting rod 405 is installed with an electric motor 418, and the adjusting shaft 407 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric motor 418 through a coupling.

[0065] like Figure 1 to Figure 9 As shown, the top of the fixed plate 306 is fixedly connected to a fixed side plate, one side of the fixed side plate is installed with a synchronous motor 408, the output end of the welding motor 416 is fixedly connected to a coaxially arranged synchronous shaft 409 through a coupling, and a synchronous driving gear 1 410 and a synchronous driving gear 2 411 are fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the synchronous shaft 409, respectively, and the synchronous driving gear 1 410 is meshedly connected with the synchronous gear 1 402;

[0066] The fixed plate 306 is internally rotatably installed with a synchronous gear 2 412, which is meshed with the synchronous driving gear 2 411. The bottom of the synchronous gear 2 412 is fixedly connected with an electric slide rail 413, and the bottom of the moving end of the electric slide rail 413 is installed with an electric telescopic rod 414. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 414 is fixedly connected with an external welding head 415. By arranging two welding heads for synchronous welding, the welding quality can be guaranteed under the premise of better guaranteeing the welding efficiency.

[0067] like Figure 1 to Figure 9 As shown, the top of the synchronous gear 402 is fixedly connected to a support block 401, and the moving link 404 is slidably connected to the inside of the support block 401. The setting of the support block 401 can limit the maximum sliding limit of the moving link 404, ensuring that the moving link 404 moves in a preset direction and stroke.

[0068] Working principle: first, place the end cap with the feed hole inside the second heating component 211, and the second heating component 211 is provided with a groove matching the size of the end cap. After the placement is completed, start the second heating component 211, and the heating component will preheat the end cap through the electric heating wire provided inside to prevent the end cap from being deformed due to subsequent direct welding.

[0069] After the placement of the head is completed, the servo motor arranged at the bottom of the turntable 301 is started, and the servo motor starts to drive the turntable 301 to rotate 90° clockwise, and the fixing plate 306 is moved from the top of the container fixing component 2 to the top of the head fixing component 3, and then the clamping motor 202 is started, and the clamping motor 202 drives the driving wheel 203 to rotate, and the driving wheel 203 drives the passive wheel 204 to rotate, and the rotation of the passive wheel 204 will drive the four synchronous rods 207 to move outward along the direction of the limit groove 205, thereby driving the four clamping seats 209 to move outward at the same time. At this time, the bottom of the pressure vessel can be placed in the middle of the four clamping seats 209 by hoisting or other methods, and the clamping motor 202 is started in reverse phase at the same time. 02, the clamping motor 202 will drive the passive wheel 204 to rotate in the reverse direction, and finally realize that the four clamping seats 209 move synchronously to the middle to clamp and fix the pressure vessel. It should be noted that the top shape of the clamping seat 209 matches the shape of the bottom of the pressure vessel, which is used to fix the pressure vessel well. In addition, the clamping seat 209 is made of polyetheretherketone material with strong heat resistance, and can maintain a good shape at the preheating temperature without damaging the outer surface of the container during the clamping process. After completing the clamping, the thermal component 1 is started to preheat the area near the welding point. The setting of the four heating components 210 can ensure uniform heating during the heating process;

[0070] After the heating reaches the preset time, the lifting motor 303 is started, and the lifting motor 303 will drive the lifting threaded rod 304 to rotate. The rotation of the lifting threaded rod 304 will drive the lifting plate 305 to move downward along the release direction of the lifting threaded rod 304 until the positioning column 307 enters the inside of the feed hole of the head. The four positioning wheels 309 will press down the top of the head under the action of the limit spring and slowly open. After the descent is completed, the four internal support motors are started synchronously. The internal support motors will simultaneously drive the auxiliary support shaft 311 to rotate counterclockwise under the action of the electric rotating shaft 312 The needle rotates and pushes upward, thereby driving the four rotating shafts 2 to rotate counterclockwise upward at the same time, so that the four positioning wheels 2 313 push the inner surface of the head upward at the same time, and form a clamping effect with the positioning wheel 1 309. Because the four rotating shafts 2 rotate synchronously, it can be ensured that the center of the head and the center of the positioning column 307 are concentric. It should be noted that the positioning wheel 2 313 and the positioning wheel 1 309 are also made of polyetheretherketone material with strong heat resistance, and can maintain a good shape at the preheating temperature without damaging the outer surface of the container during the clamping process;

[0071] After the end cap is clamped, the end cap is first moved to the top of the column 302 by starting the lifting motor 303, and the turntable 301 is driven to rotate 90° counterclockwise by starting the servo motor again to move the end cap onto the pressure vessel. At this time, because the center of the positioning column 307 is concentric with the center of the clamping fixing seat 201, the end cap and the pressure vessel are also aligned.

[0072] After the alignment is completed, the end cap is moved downward by starting the lifting motor 303 until the distance between the end cap and the pressure vessel meets the welding requirements, and then the welding motor 416 is started. The welding motor 416 drives the lifting gear 403 to rotate, and the lifting gear 403 drives the moving wheel connecting rod meshing with it to move downward, and the moving connecting rod 404 moves downward while driving the internal welding head 406 to move downward until the internal welding head 406 is completely moved out of the rotating sleeve 417. The electric motor 418 starts to drive the internal welding head 406 to rotate until the internal welding head 406 rotates to a suitable position. The welding motor 416 starts and stops according to the image transmitted back by the camera assembly set at the end of the internal welding head 406 to control the alignment position of the internal welding head 406 to ensure that the welding head is in a suitable position. It should be noted that the welding head can be selected as an SDI welding head, which can capture and transmit video signals of the welding process in real time to ensure real-time monitoring of welding quality. The worker controls the start and stop of the welding motor 416 through the image;

[0073] After the positioning of the internal welding head 406 is completed, the relative position of the external welding head 415 is controlled by starting the electric slide rail 413 and the electric telescopic rod 414, and the welding operation can be started after moving to the relative position;

[0074] At this time, the synchronous motor 408 is started, and the synchronous motor 408 drives the synchronous driving gear 1 410 and the synchronous driving gear 2 411 to rotate through the synchronous shaft 409. The synchronous driving gear 1 410 and the synchronous driving gear 2 411 rotate to drive the synchronous gear 1 402 and the synchronous gear 2 412 to rotate. The synchronous gear 2 412 drives the external welding head 415 to rotate by driving the electric slide rail 413. The second synchronous gear 1 402 directly drives the internal welding head 406 to rotate by driving the rotating sleeve 417. Because the synchronous driving gear 1 410 and the synchronous driving gear 2 411 have the same number of teeth and module, the rotation speed is also the same, thereby achieving the effect of synchronous rotation and ensuring welding stability. After the driving gear rotates one circle, the welding of the head and the pressure vessel is completed.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
