Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of flame brazing, and in particular relates to a flame brazing device for an aircraft oxygen conduit. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's aviation industry, the number of routine maintenance and repairs of aircraft has gradually increased. Among them, the maintenance of oxygen ducts is of paramount importance. The quality of oxygen ducts is directly related to whether the aircraft's oxygen supply system can be used normally, and is closely related to the personal safety of pilots. Flame brazing is the key technology to connect the oxygen duct head and the tube body. The connection quality between the tube head and the tube body is directly related to the airtightness of the oxygen duct. At present, when using flame brazing to weld the tube head and the tube body, it requires the cooperation of multiple people to complete the welding operation. The initial positioning of the tube head and the tube body requires manual positioning, and this process cannot ensure that the tube head and the tube body are coaxial. On the other hand, because the welding gun is manually held and the flame of the welding nozzle is dispersed, it is impossible to ensure that the connection between the tube head and the tube body is heated evenly during welding, which will cause stress concentration and even cracks in the weld area, burying safety hazards for the use of oxygen ducts. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an aircraft oxygen duct flame brazing device, which integrates oxygen duct flame brazing welding and clamping, can reduce the number of auxiliary welding personnel, improve production efficiency, and enhance the welding quality of oxygen duct.
