Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding devices, and in particular to a flange circumferential seam welding device. Background Art

[0002] As pointed out in the existing document with the authorization announcement number "CN117324883A", the branch pipe flange of an aluminum alloy welded cylinder is usually a plug-in structure, so that the bottom end of the branch pipe flange is connected to one side of the aluminum alloy welded cylinder in a plug-in manner. When welding, it is difficult to perform fast and stable welding with the plug-in structure, and it is easy to cause potential problems of insecure welding due to the curvature of the weld seam, reducing the welding efficiency of the plug-in structure.

[0003] In actual processing, the flange and the pipeline are often welded by circumferential seams, and circumferential seam welding can improve the welding effect. During circumferential seam welding, since circumferential seam welding is a process of local heating and cooling, uneven temperature fields will be generated in the flange during welding, resulting in the generation of welding stress. The welding stress may cause the flange to deform, affecting its installation accuracy and service performance. Moreover, during long-term use, the welding stress and the working stress are superimposed, which may cause the weld seam to fail prematurely. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to propose a flange circumferential seam welding device for the problems existing in the background art.

Inside the housing, a round seat, a power plate, a connecting body assembly, and a moving seat are arranged in sequence; The housing is provided with an operation slit. The round seat is provided with four equally spaced round seat holes. The welding seat body includes a moving column inserted into the round seat hole. The moving column is fixed with an arc-shaped bottom located in the operation slit. An installation seat is fixed on the arc-shaped bottom.

The drive shaft is provided with threads. The moving seat is threadedly installed on the threads. Two pushing arms for pushing the connecting body assembly to move are fixed on both sides of the moving seat.

[0006] Preferably, the centers of the outer shell, the circular base, the power plate, the outer sleeve, the bottom shell and the moving seat coincide. The outer sleeve and the bottom shell are both arranged in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell, and there is a space for the outer sleeve to enter between the outer tooth press and the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0007] Preferably, the diameter of the limiting head is greater than the diameter of the circular base hole, the length of the moving column is greater than the length of the circular base hole, and a reinforcing plate made of metal is provided inside the power plate.

Detailed implementation manners

[0015] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0016] Referring to the attached Figure 1-6 , a flange circumferential seam welding device includes a mounting frame 1 and a movable welding frame 2. A reduction motor 3 and a housing 4 are fixed on the welding frame 2. The output end of the reduction motor 3 is fixed with a drive shaft 200 penetrating through the housing 4. Inside the housing 4, there are sequentially arranged a round seat 6, a power plate 7, a connecting body assembly 8 and a moving seat 9; The housing 4 is provided with an operation seam 41. The round seat 6 is provided with four equally spaced round seat holes 61. The welding seat body 5 includes a moving column 51 inserted into the round seat hole 61. The moving column 51 is fixed with an arc bottom 52 located in the operation seam 41. An installation seat 53 is fixed on the arc bottom 52. A welding head 100 located outside the housing 4 is fixed on the installation seat 53. The other end of the moving column 51 is fixedly installed with a limiting head 54, and the limiting head 54 is located outside the round seat hole 61. There are two symmetrically arranged convex portions 71 on the power plate 7, and the convex portions 71 are in contact with the limiting head 54. The drive shaft 200 penetrates through the round seat 6, and the power plate 7 is fixed on the drive shaft 200; The connecting body assembly 8 includes an outer sleeve 81 and a bottom shell 82 fixedly connected. An inner tooth press 83 is arranged inside the outer sleeve 81. The connecting body assembly 8 further includes an outer tooth press 84 arranged outside the round seat 6 and adapted to the inner tooth press 83. A thread 300 is arranged on the drive shaft 200, and the moving seat 9 is threadedly installed on the thread 300. Pushing arms 10 for pushing the connecting body assembly 8 to move are fixed on both sides of the moving seat 9.

[0017] The present invention provides four welding heads 100, and the four welding heads 100 are evenly distributed on the outer shell. Then, the four welding heads 100 are symmetrically arranged in pairs. By starting the reduction motor 3 to drive the drive shaft 200 to rotate, the power plate 7 will rotate. When the power plate 7 rotates, two symmetric convex portions 71 will contact two symmetric welding seat bodies 5, causing the convex portions 71 to squeeze the limit heads 54, making the moving columns 51 move outwards. In this way, these two welding heads 100 will first contact the flange and perform welding operations. These two welding points are also symmetric. Subsequently, as the power plate 7 continues to rotate, the convex portions 71 will squeeze the other two welding heads 100, making the other two welding points also symmetric. Then, when all the welding heads 100 have completed welding, the corresponding points on the flange and the pipe will be welded symmetrically. Through this synchronous symmetric welding method, two symmetric welding points are formed. The two symmetric welding points can ensure that the stresses on both sides are consistent, so that the welding stresses can cancel each other out as much as possible, thus ensuring the welding performance. The above method is the first step of welding in the present invention and can be called symmetric spot welding. After the first step is completed, the rotation of the drive shaft 200 will cause the moving seat 9 to move within the outer shell 4, and the push arm 10 will push the connecting body assembly 8 towards the operation seam 41. The movement of the outer sleeve 81 will cause the teeth of the inner tooth press 83 and the outer tooth press 84 to mesh with each other, and the power plate 7 will enter the bottom shell 82. The power plate 7 will be tightly inserted into the bottom shell 82. Finally, when the power plate 7 rotates, it will drive the connecting body assembly 8 to rotate. The rotation of the outer tooth press 84 will drive the circular seat 6 to rotate, causing two of the welding seat bodies 5 to rotate. The welding heads 100 on these two welding seat bodies 5 can perform re-welding on the flange and the pipe. Since these two welding heads 100 perform synchronous welding from two places, the welding gap between the flange and the pipe will be divided into two parts, enabling all welding to be completed quickly during welding. The temperatures of the two parts are quite the same during welding, avoiding the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature differences.

[0018] Specifically, the centers of the outer shell 4, the circular seat 6, the power plate 7, the outer sleeve 81, the bottom shell 82, and the moving seat 9 coincide. The outer sleeve 81 and the bottom shell 82 are both arranged in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 4. There is a space for the outer sleeve 81 to enter between the outer tooth press 84 and the inner wall of the outer shell 4. The diameter of the limit head 54 is greater than the diameter of the circular seat hole 61, and the length of the moving column 51 is greater than the length of the circular seat hole 61. The power plate 7 is provided with a reinforcing plate made of metal. It should be noted that one end of the outer shell 4 is provided with a plug plate 700. A U-shaped frame 800 is fixed between the plug plate 700 and the outer shell 4. An operation slit 41 is formed between the plug plate 700 and the outer shell 4. The radian of the arc-shaped bottom 52 is the same as that of the operation slit 41. The length of the arc-shaped bottom 52 is greater than the depth of the operation slit 41. The drive shaft 200 is provided with an extension part penetrating through the plug plate 700, and a guide body 400 is fixed to the extension part. The mounting frame 1 is fixed on the workbench 500. An electric slide 600 is provided on the workbench 500. The welding frame 2 is mounted on the electric slide 600. The mounting frame 1 includes a guiding inlet 11 and also fixes a pipe rack 12. The pipe is placed on the pipe rack 12 and enters into the guiding inlet 11. The axis of the drive shaft 200 coincides with the center of the placed pipe. A limiting hoop 13 is fixed on the mounting frame 1. A flange opening 14 is formed between the limiting hoop 13 and the guiding inlet 11.

[0019] Working principle: First step, place the pipe on the pipe rack 12 so that the end of the pipe to be welded is inserted into the guiding inlet 11 and is located in the flange opening 14. Then insert the flange sleeve into the flange opening 14 so that the flange sleeve is outside the pipe. Finally, tighten the limiting hoop 13 to make them stable. Second step, start the electric slide 600 to make the welding frame 2 move towards the mounting frame 1. During the movement, the guide body 400 will enter the pipe and contact the inner wall of the pipe. As the guide body 400 completely enters, the welding head 100 will align with the welding gap between the pipe and the flange. Third step, start the reduction motor 3 to drive the drive shaft 200 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 200 will drive the power plate 7 to rotate. The rotation of the power plate 7 will push two symmetric limiting heads 54 through the protrusion 71, so that the limiting heads 54 push the moving column 51 to move towards the operation slit 41 in the round seat hole 61, making the arc-shaped bottom 52 move out of the operation slit 41. The movement of the arc-shaped bottom 52 drives the mounting seat 53 to move, so that the two welding heads 100 contact the welding gap between the pipe and the flange. Start these two welding heads 100 for welding. As the power plate 7 continues to rotate, the protrusion 71 will then push the other two limiting heads 54 to move, so that the other two welding heads 100 perform welding, thus forming symmetric spot welding on the welding gap between the pipe and the flange. Fourthly, with the continuous rotation of the drive shaft 200, the moving seat 9 will move along the thread 300 towards the operation seam 41. The moving seat 9 will push the outer sleeve 81 and the bottom shell 82 to move, so that the inner tooth press 83 inside the outer sleeve 81 and the outer tooth press 84 outside the circular seat 6 are engaged with each other. The power plate 7 will be inserted into the bottom shell 82, and the power plate 7 will drive the bottom shell 82 to rotate. Thus, the bottom shell 82 drives the outer sleeve 81 to rotate. Through the engagement of the inner tooth press 83 and the outer tooth press 84, the circular seat 6 will be driven to rotate. At this time, the convex part 71 will push two of the welding seat bodies 5 to move outwards, so that the welding heads 100 of these two welding seat bodies 5 perform rotational welding, and thus the welding of all the weld seams is completed.
