Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of maintenance, and particularly relates to a pipe gripper for improving welding stability. Background Art

[0002] In pipeline welding operations, in order to prevent the pipeline from shaking, displacing or being damaged during welding, and to ensure the stability and safety of the pipeline system, pipeline clamping devices are usually used to fix the position of the pipeline during the operation. However, the existing pipeline clamping devices have the following technical defects:

[0003] Inconvenient to use on-site: Usually, the pipeline needs to be horizontally placed and installed on a fixed bench for welding. However, the pipelines on-site are sometimes vertical and sometimes inclined, so on-site welding cannot be achieved. Existing clamping devices usually cannot quickly and conveniently adjust the height of two pipelines, resulting in manual docking during welding, which is time-consuming and laborious and affects work efficiency.

[0004] Limited clamping range: Pipelines with different diameters, wall thicknesses and materials have different requirements for clamping devices. Traditional clamping devices often have difficulty in simultaneously meeting the clamping requirements of multiple specifications of pipelines. They can only clamp one or a few diameters of pipelines, and cannot effectively clamp other diameters of pipelines, or the clamping is not firm, resulting in a decrease in welding quality and limiting their application range.

[0005] Complicated operation: The existing pipeline clamping devices have a complex structure and cumbersome operation, with a large adjustment and operation difficulty. This not only increases the welding preparation time, but also may cause errors and repeated welding during welding due to unstable clamping, resulting in reduced production efficiency and increased operation costs.

[0006] Insufficient stability: In traditional pipeline welding operations, due to factors such as pipeline material, size, weight and thermal stress generated during welding, the pipeline is prone to small or significant displacement or deformation during welding in existing clamping devices, resulting in inaccurate alignment of the welding joint, thereby affecting welding quality and welding stability, and increasing the risk of welding defects (such as lack of fusion, porosity, cracks, etc.).

[0007] Operation safety: During welding, traditional pipeline clamping devices may cause the pipeline to fall off or move accidentally due to insufficient clamping, causing harm to operators and posing a potential accident risk.

[0008] Based on this, there is an urgent need to develop a new pipeline clamping device to overcome the above technical defects of existing pipeline clamping devices. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0043] As Figure 1-8 shown, a pipe clamp for improving welding stability provided by the present invention includes: a manual screw 1, a large clamping arm support block 2, a large clamping arm 3, a small clamping arm support block 4, a clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 5, a small clamping arm bolt 6, a screw fastening screw 7, a clamping block 8, and a protruding block 9.

[0044] The clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 5 includes a first clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 51 and a second clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 52.

[0045] The large clamping arm 3 includes a side wall and a bottom, and the side wall and the bottom form an integrally formed L-shaped structure. The bottom is a semi-circular structure. Two large clamping arms 3 are symmetrically arranged, and the semi-circular bottoms are arranged opposite to each other to form a triangular structure.

[0046] A through hole is provided at the top of the large clamping arm 3, and a sliding groove is axially provided on the side wall;

[0047] The large clamping arm support block 2 is installed on the tops of the two large clamping arms 3 through the cooperation of the first clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 51 and the through hole;

[0048] The small clamp arm support block 4 is installed in the middle of the two large clamp arms 3 through the cooperation of the second clamp arm support block fastening bolt assembly 52 and the chute. The small clamp arm support block 4 can move axially along the side wall of the large clamp arm 3 through the second clamp arm support block fastening bolt assembly 52 and the chute.

[0049] At the central positions of the tops of the large clamp arm support block 2 and the small clamp arm support block 4, there are large screw holes that penetrate up and down coaxially. The large screw holes match the threads of the manual screw rod 1. The manual screw rod 1 is screwed into the large screw holes of the large clamp arm support block 2 and the small clamp arm support block 4 from top to bottom to adjust the positions of the large clamp arm 3 and the small clamp arm support block 4.

[0050] Clamping blocks 8 are respectively installed at the inner sides of the bottoms of the large clamp arms 3 and at the central positions of the bottoms of the small clamp arm support blocks 4. The inner shape of the clamping block 8 facing the pipeline matches the shape of the outer diameter of the pipeline and is used to clamp the pipeline to be welded.

[0051] Preferably, one end of the clamping block 8 close to the manual screw rod 1 is connected with a protruding block 9 that protrudes towards the pipeline. The protruding block 9 and the clamping block 8 are of an integrally formed structure. The protruding block 9 can be a circular protruding block.

[0052] Preferably, the sizes, shapes, etc. of the clamping block 8 and the protruding block 9 are all adjustable or replaceable, so that they can be adaptively adjusted according to the diameter and shape of the pipeline to be welded. When contacting the pipeline, the degree of fit between the clamping block 8 or the protruding block 9 and the pipeline is improved, and the clamping stability is further enhanced.

[0053] Preferably, the inner surfaces of the clamping block 8 and the protruding block 9 facing the pipeline are processed with anti-slip threads or coated with an anti-slip coating. When contacting the pipeline, the friction between the clamping block 8 or the protruding block 9 and the pipeline is increased, and the clamping stability is further improved.

[0054] One end of the clamping block 8 far from the manual screw rod 1 is provided with a through small screw hole, which matches the small clamp arm bolt 6. The small clamp arm bolt 6 is screwed into the small screw hole of the clamping block 8 from outside to inside to fix the position of the pipeline to be welded.

[0055] At the central position of the side surface of the small clamp arm support block 4, there is a screw hole that penetrates through the large screw hole. The screw hole matches the screw rod fastening screw 7. The screw rod fastening screw 7 is screwed into the screw hole of the small clamp arm support block 4 from outside to inside to fix the rotation position of the manual screw rod 1.

[0056] Preferably, the large clamp arm support block 2, the large clamp arm 3, and the small clamp arm support block 4 are all of a double structure. The two symmetrically arranged large clamp arms 3 are connected through the large clamp arm support block 2 and the small clamp arm support block 4 to form an interconnected double triangular structure, which serves as the main load-bearing and supporting part of the gripper. This design utilizes the stability principle of the triangle, and can maintain the structural stability even under high loads, effectively preventing shaking or slipping during the clamping process due to vibration or external forces.

[0057] When using a pipe gripper for improving welding stability provided by the present invention to perform pipe welding operations, the working principle is as follows:

[0058] When welding pipes on-site, loosen the clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 5, insert the first section of the pipe into the large clamping arm 3, manually adjust the manual screw 1 until the circular protruding blocks 9 at the bottom of the large clamping arm 3 can all contact the outer wall of the pipe, tighten the first clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 51, and rotate the manual screw 1 to make the small clamping arm support block 4 perform an axial displacement along the chute of the large clamping arm 3 until the circular protruding blocks 9 at the bottom of the small clamping arm support block 4 can all contact the outer wall of the pipe, then tighten the second clamping arm support block fastening bolt assembly 52 to firmly fix the first section of the pipe on the pipe gripper of the present invention. Place another section of the pipe between the clamping block 8 of the large clamping arm 3 and the clamping block 8 of the small clamping arm support block 4, rotate the small clamping arm bolt 6 to adjust the position of the pipe so that it is aligned with the interface of the first section of the pipe, and then tighten the small clamping arm bolt 6. After confirming that both sections of the pipe are firmly fixed on the pipe gripper of the present invention and the interfaces are aligned, tighten the screw fastening screw 7 to prevent loosening during the welding operation.

[0059] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Contents not described in detail in the present invention can all adopt existing technologies.
