Detailed Embodiment

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Example: Figures 1 - 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a vacuum butterfly valve welding turntable, which is suitable for locking and fixing the valve stem seat 41 on the valve body 4, and aligning with the through hole 42 on the valve body 4, and driving the valve stem seat 41 and the valve body 4 to rotate simultaneously, so as to facilitate welding of the valve stem seat 41; this embodiment comprises: a base 1, on which a fixing platform 101 is fixedly connected; a locking tube 5 and a tightening assembly 6, one end of the locking tube 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7, the locking tube 5 passes through the valve stem seat 41, and the locking tube 5 is used to lock and fix the valve stem seat 41; the tightening assembly 6 is arranged on the valve body 4, the tightening assembly 6 is used to tighten and fix the valve body, and the locking tube 5 and the tightening assembly 6 rotate at the same time, and the rotating shaft 7 is connected to the fixed platform 101; a three-jaw chuck 2 for fixing the rotating shaft 7 is installed on the fixed platform 101, and a driving motor 3 for driving the three-jaw chuck 2 to rotate is installed on the fixed platform 101; the three-jaw chuck 2 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 3, and the rotating shaft 7 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the locking tube 5 and the tightening assembly 6 to rotate at the same time, thereby driving the valve body 4 and the valve stem seat 41 to rotate at the same time, so as to facilitate the welding of the valve stem seat 41.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the tightening assembly 6 includes a fixed block 61, a pair of struts 63 are rotatably connected to the fixed block 61, and a guide rod 66 that can be inserted into the locking tube 5 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 61, a slider 612 is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 66, and a connecting rod 64 is rotatably connected between the slider 612 and the strut 63; a strut block 62 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 61, a strut 65 is fixedly connected to one end of the strut 63, and a cylindrical spring 68 is connected between the slider 612 and the fixed block 61, and the cylindrical spring 68 is connected to the surface of the guide rod 66; the principle of the tightening assembly 6 is as follows: Figures 2 - 3 As shown, when in use, the tightening assembly 6 is placed inside the valve body 4, the support block 62 contacts the inner wall of the valve body 4, and the guide rod 66 is inserted into the locking tube 5. When the tightening assembly 6 and the valve body 4 are manually moved together toward the locking tube 5, one end of the locking tube 5 contacts the surface of the slider 612. As the tightening assembly 6 approaches, the locking tube 5 resists the slider 612 and slides on the surface of the guide rod 66, and the slider 612 moves toward the fixed block 61. When the slider 612 slides, it drives the two support rods 63 to rotate and expand outward, so that the support column 65 is in close contact with the inner wall of the valve body 4 and the valve body 4 is tightened and fixed. The two support columns 65 and a support block 62 are in close contact with the inner wall of the valve body 4, thereby tightening and fixing the valve body 4.

[0028] like Figures 4 - 7As shown in the figure, a plurality of pressing strips 51 are evenly movably connected to the surface of the locking tube 5 along its circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the number of pressing strips 51 is set to four, and the pressing strips 51 can move closer to or away from the center direction of the locking tube 5. A push rod 511 for driving the movement of the pressing strips 51 is connected inside the locking tube 5; an inclined rail 5104 is fixedly connected to the pressing strip 51. The inclined rail 5104 is arranged inside the locking tube 5, and the thickness of the inclined rail 5104 gradually increases along the direction away from the tightening assembly 6. A guide block 512 is fixedly connected to the push rod 511, and an inclined groove 513 slidably matched with the inclined rail 5104 is arranged on the guide block 512. When the push rod 511 moves towards the inside of the locking tube 5, it will drive the pressing strip 51 to move outwards. A connecting seat 58 is welded to one end of the locking tube 5, and the connecting seat 58 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7. One end of the push rod 511 is fixedly connected with a stop block 514, and a return spring 56 is fixedly connected between the stop block 514 and the connecting seat 58; specifically in implementation: when the guide rod 66 moves towards the inside of the locking tube 5, the guide rod 66 drives the push rod 511 to move inwards, driving the four pressing strips 51 to move outwards, so that the pressing strips 51 are in contact with the inner wall of the valve rod seat 41 and the inner wall of the through hole 42 at the same time. The pressing strips 51 play a role in correcting the alignment, making the valve rod seat 41 align with the position of the through hole 42, ensuring the accurate position of the valve rod seat 41, and the pressing strips 51 pressing on the inner wall of the valve rod seat 41 also play an effect of locking and fixing the valve rod seat 41, ensuring the stable position of the valve rod seat 41 during welding.

[0029] Preferably, a pressure ring 52 is connected to the periphery of the locking tube 5 for pressing the valve rod seat 41; a limiting hole 53 slidably matched with the pressing strip 51 is arranged on the pressure ring 52 to ensure the stable sliding of the pressing strip 51. A moving block 54 is slidably connected in the limiting hole 53. One end of the pressing strip 51 is fixedly connected with a baffle 5101, and a first elastic member 55 is fixedly connected between the baffle 5101 and the moving block 54. The first elastic member 55 can be a spring. A guiding strip 57 slidably connected to the baffle 5101 is fixedly connected to the moving block 54, so that the moving block 54 can be driven to slide in the limiting hole 53 when the pressing strip 51 moves; when the valve body 4 and the valve rod seat 41 move along the surface of the locking tube 5, one end of the valve rod seat 41 contacts the surface of the pressure ring 52, and the valve rod seat 41 is pressed on the valve body 4 through the pressure ring 52.

[0030] Preferably, a limiting strip 67 is provided on the surface of the guide rod 66, and a limiting groove 510 is provided on the locking tube 5 and is connected in cooperation with the limiting strip 67. When the guide rod 66 is inserted into the locking tube 5, the limiting strip 67 is connected to the limiting groove 510, so that when the locking tube 5 rotates, it can drive the entire tightening assembly 6 to rotate, and then drive the valve body 4 to rotate; and a plurality of ratchet grooves 59 are provided on the surface of the locking tube 5. A bracket 69 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 61. One end of the bracket 69 is rotatably connected to a ratchet pawl 610 that cooperates with the ratchet groove 59. A second elastic member 611 is connected between the ratchet pawl 610 and the bracket 69. The second elastic member 611 makes the ratchet pawl 610 closely adhere to the surface of the locking tube 5. And through the arrangement of the ratchet pawl 610 and the ratchet groove 59, it is avoided that the guide rod 66 is retracted and detached from the locking tube 5, playing a role in fixing the locking tube 5 and the guide rod 66.

[0031] Preferably, a pair of retaining frames 5102 are fixedly connected to both ends of the pressing strip 51. The retaining frames 5102 are arranged inside the locking tube 5, and a C-shaped elastic piece 5103 is fixedly connected to the retaining frames 5102. The elastic piece 5103 contacts the inner wall of the locking tube 5. The elastic piece 5103 plays a resetting role. When the guide block 512 does not apply pressure to the pressing strip 51, the elastic piece 5103 drives the pressing strip 51 to automatically retract into the locking tube 5.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the rotating shaft 7 is fixed by being pressed tightly by the three-jaw chuck 2. Then, the locking tube 5 is inserted into the valve stem seat 41 and the valve body 4. Then, the tightening assembly 6 is placed inside the valve body 4. The support block 62 contacts the inner wall of the valve body 4, and the guide rod 66 is inserted into the locking tube 5. Then, the valve body 4 and the tightening assembly 6 are moved together in the direction close to the locking tube 5. During the movement, one end of the locking tube 5 abuts against the slider 612 and slides on the surface of the guide rod 66, driving the slider 612 to move in the direction close to the fixed block 61. When the slider 612 slides, it drives the two support rods 63 to rotate and expand outward, so that the support columns 65 are in close contact with the inner wall of the valve body 4 and tightly fix the valve body 4. Through the two support columns 65 and one support block 62 being in close contact with the inner wall of the valve body 4, the tightening assembly 6 tightly fixes the valve body 4. And during the movement, the guide block 512 drives the pressing strip 51 inside the locking tube 5 to move outward, and the pressing strip 51 presses against the inner wall of the valve stem seat 41 and the inner wall of the through hole 42, so that the centers of the valve stem seat 41 and the through hole 42 are aligned; at the same time, the pressure ring 52 presses against one end of the valve stem seat 41, pressing the valve stem seat 41 against the valve body 4, thereby tightly fixing the valve body 4 and the valve stem seat 41; then, the driving motor 3 drives the three-jaw chuck 2 to rotate, driving the valve body 4 and the valve stem seat 41 to rotate, and thus the valve stem seat can be welded at 360°.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that: in the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "vertical", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0034] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
