The characteristic of this connection method is that the valve body has butt-weld flanges at both ends, which correspond to the butt-weld flanges on the pipeline and are fixed by bolts. Because of its reliability and applicability, butt-weld flange connection has become one of the most widely used connection forms in valves; and welding tooling is often used to weld the valve body and butt-weld flange.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN207788114U discloses a valve flange welding tool, including a base plate, a guide rail, a slider, a push block, a horizontal screw rod, a flange bracket, a horizontal hand wheel, a vertical screw rod, a vertical hand wheel, a flange fixing plate, and connecting screws; the guide rail is arranged on the base plate, the flange bracket is arranged on the slider, and the slider is connected with the guide rail; there is a push block on the flange bracket, the horizontal hand wheel is connected with the horizontal screw rod, the horizontal screw rod is connected with the push block, and the horizontal hand wheel is turned to drive the push block and the flange bracket to move on the guide rail through the horizontal screw rod; the flange fixing plate is connected with the vertical screw rod, the vertical screw rod is connected with the vertical hand wheel, and the vertical hand wheel is turned to rotate the vertical screw rod to drive the flange fixing plate to move up and down; connecting screws are arranged on the flange fixing plate for installing the flange to be welded; two sets of valve flange welding tooling are arranged oppositely on the base plate, and a space is left between the two sets of valve flange welding tooling, and the valve to be welded is placed in the middle; connecting screws are also arranged on the base plate for fixing the valve on the base plate.

[0004] However, when the inventor implemented this device, he found the following defects: the above-mentioned device can only realize the positioning and fixing of the valve body and the butt-welding flange, which is not convenient for welding the valve body and the butt-welding flange, and the welding efficiency is low; and high temperature will be generated during the welding operation of the valve body and the butt-welding flange, causing the temperature at the valve body to rise, and the sealing materials such as silicone in the valve body are mostly non-high-temperature resistant materials. High temperature will cause damage to the sealing materials in the valve body, affecting the quality of the valve after welding; and in order to improve the welding quality of the valve body and the butt-welding flange, carbon dioxide shielded welding is often used for welding. Low temperature and high pressure carbon dioxide have a great influence on the temperature at the welding point, which is not conducive to the melting of the welding material, causing excessive flow of the molten welding material, increasing the energy consumption of the welding operation, and also having a certain impact on the welding quality of the welding point.

[0037] For details, please refer to Figure 5 The arm 12 is hingedly mounted on the slide 10 , a driving cylinder 16 is hingedly mounted on the slide 10 , and an output end of the driving cylinder 16 is hingedly mounted to the arm 12 .

[0041] The valve welding tool provided in this embodiment drives the arm 12 to rotate around the hinge point through the drive cylinder 16, and the contact tightness between the drive wheel 13 and the pipe part on the valve body can be adjusted to ensure good contact between the drive wheel 13 and the pipe part on the valve body; in specific implementation, after the upper half cover 7 and the lower half cover 8 are closed, the drive cylinder 16 is started again, so that the drive wheel 13 is in close contact with the upper part of the pipe part on the valve body, so as to avoid interference between the drive wheel 13 and the closing between the upper half cover 7 and the lower half cover 8 , ensuring that the upper half cover 7 and the lower half cover 8 are well closed; the pipe portion on the valve body is placed on the supporting wheel 18. Under the action of the supporting wheel 18, when the driving wheel 13 presses down on the pipe portion of the valve body, the pressure between the pipe portion on the valve body and the lower half cover 8 can be reduced, avoiding excessive friction between the pipe portion on the valve body and the upper half cover 7 and the lower half cover 8, so as to ensure that the pipe portion on the valve body rotates smoothly between the upper half cover 7 and the lower half cover 8, and at the same time ensure good transmission between the driving wheel 13 and the pipe portion on the valve body.

The air motor 24 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 6. A brush wheel 26 is installed at the output end of the air motor 24.

[0044] The valve welding tool provided in this embodiment utilizes the pre-pressure of carbon dioxide in the annular cavity to drive the pneumatic motor 24 to rotate. The pneumatic motor 24 drives the brush wheel 26 to sweep away the welding slag and smoke attached to the butt-welding flange, the pipe part on the valve body and the weld, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the weld, improve the connection strength between each welding layer, and improve the welding quality. Part of the carbon dioxide gas discharged by the pneumatic motor 24 is gathered around the weld, isolating the oxygen around the weld, further reducing the oxidation amount of the welding material, thereby further improving the welding quality of the valve body and the butt-welding flange.

[0045] Example 3: The valve welding tooling provided in Example 2 is further optimized. For details, please refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 The flange feed alignment mechanism includes a feed seat 27, a chuck 28 rotatably mounted on the feed seat 27, and a feed driver 29 that provides power for the feed seat 27 to slide; further, the feed driver 29 can adopt a telescopic cylinder, a linear motor or other equivalent parts that drive the feed seat 27 to feed.

[0048] For details, please refer to Fig. 9 The inner wall of the semicircular opening and the joints between the upper half cover body 7 and the lower half cover body 8 are provided with a graphite sealing gasket 40.

[0049] The valve welding tool provided in this embodiment clamps the butt-welding flange through the chuck 28 and then starts the feed driver 29. The feed driver 29 on the two flange feed alignment mechanism drives the flange to approach the pipe part on the valve body until the pipe part on the valve body is inserted into the butt-welding flange, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the butt-welding flange and the pipe part on the valve body. When the valve body and the butt-welding flange are welded, the amount of carbon dioxide passing through the fourth air supply pipe 35 can be adjusted by adjusting the opening size of the first pressure regulating valve 36, thereby adjusting the pressure in the sliding cavity 32. When the pressure in the sliding cavity 32 increases, the piston 33 drives the resistance plate 34 to contact the brake pad 30. When the pressure in the sliding cavity 32 increases, the pressure relief valve 37 is opened, thereby adaptively adjusting the rotation speed of the chuck 28. The second pressure regulating valve 38 can be adjusted to adjust the pressure of carbon dioxide passing through the first air supply pipe 3, thereby adjusting the pressure of carbon dioxide gas entering the shell 14. The intake pressure of carbon dioxide changes, the rotation speed of the impeller 15 changes, and then the rotation speed of the pipe part on the valve body driven by the driving wheel 13 is adjusted to ensure that the welding wire discharge speed on the welding gun 21 matches the welding speed of the valve body, thereby ensuring the welding quality; the graphite sealing gasket 40 has a good sealing effect to reduce the leakage of carbon dioxide in the annular cavity. At the same time, the graphite sealing gasket 40 can effectively reduce the friction between the upper half cover body 7 and the lower half cover body 8 and the pipe part on the valve body, avoid interference with the rotation of the valve body, and ensure that the valve body rotates smoothly between the upper half cover body 7 and the lower half cover body 8.

[0050] The use process of the valve welding tool provided by the present invention is as follows: by placing the pipe part of the valve body in the semicircular openings on the two lower half-cover bodies 8, the butt-welding flange is sent to the pipe part on the valve body through the two flange feeding and positioning mechanisms, and the butt-welding flange and the pipe part on the valve body are initially consolidated; start the lifting drive component 11, the slide seat 10 moves down, the upper half cover body 7 and the lower half cover body 8 are completely closed and cover the pipe part of the valve body, the bottom of the driving wheel 13 is in close contact with the upper part of the pipe part on the valve body, the flange feeding and positioning mechanism sends the butt-welding flange to the pipe part of the valve body, the butt-welding flange and the pipe part on the valve body are connected as a whole, and the liquid carbon dioxide in the cylinder 2 enters the shell 14 through the first gas supply pipe 3 and is quickly gasified The gasified carbon dioxide contacts the impeller 15 and drives the impeller 15 to rotate, thereby driving the driving wheel 13 to rotate, and the driving wheel 13 drives the valve body to rotate, so that the welding assembly performs ring welding on the annular seam between the pipe part and the flange on the valve body, and the gasified carbon dioxide absorbs heat and cools down the surrounding environment, and the cooled carbon dioxide enters the annular cavity through the connecting pipe 4. The low-temperature carbon dioxide in the annular cavity can cool down the pipe part on the valve body that is heated due to welding, and at the same time, the carbon dioxide absorbs heat in the annular cavity and is ejected through the gas outlet end of the second gas supply pipe 5. The carbon dioxide that absorbs heat and heats up protects the welding points of the welding assembly; in this way, the ring welding operation of the butt-welded flange and the valve body is completed.
