Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wall panel auxiliary positioning technology, and in particular to a pipe welding installation auxiliary device and its installation method based on arc frame splicing. Background Technology
[0002] Pipeline welding is an indispensable and crucial process in modern industrial manufacturing and infrastructure construction, widely used in fields such as petroleum, natural gas, chemical, power, and marine engineering. With the continuous growth of industrial demands, pipeline welding technology has evolved from manual welding to automated welding to improve welding quality, operational efficiency, and safety.
[0003] Currently, there are many shortcomings in the field of auxiliary devices for pipeline welding and installation. On the one hand, some traditional devices are too simple in structure, only providing basic pipeline support and fixation functions. When faced with complex pipeline routes, different pipe diameters, and varying site environments, they struggle to achieve rapid and accurate positioning and installation. For example, some small pipe clamps cannot meet the welding needs of large-diameter pipes, while large fixed supports are difficult to maneuver in confined spaces, severely restricting welding efficiency. On the other hand, the automation and intelligence of existing auxiliary devices need improvement. In most cases, pipeline welding and installation still rely on manual operation and visual judgment, lacking effective technical means for real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of issues such as precise weld alignment and thermal deformation control during welding. This not only leads to poor weld quality stability, making weld defects and pipe misalignment more likely, but also increases the cost of subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0027] The installation method for pipe welding installation auxiliary devices includes the following steps:
[0028] S1: Install a wide-angle arc frame on the outer wall of the pipe to be welded. Place the wide-angle arc frame on the outside of the pipe and fix it initially with a stabilizing and fixing mechanism. Then, use the axis motion component to drive the wide-angle arc frame to move along the pipe axis to the welding start position. Adjust the wide-angle arc frame to a suitable welding angle with the circumferential rotation component. Finally, use the stabilizing and fixing mechanism again for final fixing.
[0029] S2: Connect the spliced arc frame with the wide-angle arc frame, and precisely adjust the position and secure the connection through the telescopic connection component and the guide traction component to form a complete ring structure;
[0030] S3: Install the welding base frame on the side of the spliced arc frame away from the wide-angle arc frame, and adjust and stabilize the arc frame to the welding position;
[0031] S4: Start the welding mechanism to weld the pipe weld, and achieve full circumferential automatic welding through the cooperation of the axial motion component and the circumferential rotation component during the welding process;
[0032] S5: After welding is completed, stop the welding mechanism, adjust the axis movement component to move the wide-angle arc frame away from the weld area, and release the stabilizing and fixing mechanism to disengage the wide-angle arc frame from the pipe.
[0033] S6: Disassemble the splicing arc frame and welding base frame, and remove the equipment.
[0034] In step S1, when the initial or final fixation is performed by the stabilizing and fixing mechanism, the air pump inflates the ring pressure airbag unit to make the airbag fit against the outer wall of the pipe, while the flexible clamping component and the stabilizing top support component provide flexible constraint and stable support for the pipe.
[0035] The combination design of the wide-angle arc frame and the spliced arc frame in this invention can adapt to pipes of different diameters and lengths. The semi-circular structure of the wide-angle arc frame provides a wider support surface, while the flexible connection method of the spliced arc frame allows the device to be adjusted according to the specific dimensions of the pipe, ensuring stable support and fixation in various pipe welding scenarios.
[0036] The stabilizing and fixing mechanism of this invention is equipped with a flexible clamping assembly and a stabilizing support assembly. Through the unfolding of the flexible fabric and the movement of the support arc seat, it achieves flexible constraint and stable support for the pipeline. Combined with the ring pressure airbag assembly, it effectively prevents pipeline displacement and vibration during welding, improving welding quality. The coordinated work of the axial motion assembly and the circumferential rotation assembly allows the device to move and adjust precisely along the pipeline's axis and circumference. The tracked walking unit provides stable axial motion, while the circumferential wheels ensure that the wide-angle arc frame can accurately align with the welding angle, achieving fully circumferential automatic welding.
[0037] The closed-loop inflation control unit and emergency pressure relief valve in this invention ensure that the ring pressure airbag unit can respond quickly in abnormal situations, avoiding potential risks. Furthermore, the protective ring plate unit effectively prevents sparks or other harmful substances generated during welding from damaging the equipment, further enhancing safety. The traction winch and guide roller system ensures that welding operations can be completed smoothly even in confined spaces, guaranteeing the safety of operators.
[0038] This invention adopts a modular design concept, with components such as the modular arc frame, telescopic connecting components, and stabilizing arc frame all supporting rapid assembly and disassembly. This not only simplifies the on-site assembly process but also facilitates transportation and maintenance, significantly shortening construction preparation time and improving the overall project execution efficiency. The design of the docking locking cylinder and locking screw makes the connection between the modular arc frame and the wide-angle arc frame more stable, while also being easy to disassemble and reuse.
[0039] The guiding traction assembly in this invention, through a traction winch and guide roller system, ensures a tight fit between the splicing arc frame and the wide-angle arc frame, reducing manual adjustment time and improving the assembly efficiency of the entire system. The stable triangular frame and welding platform design on the welding base allow the welding mechanism to operate stably at any angle without frequent equipment position adjustments, further improving work efficiency.

[0075] The installation method for pipe welding installation auxiliary devices includes the following steps:
[0076] S1: Install a wide-angle arc frame 110 on the outer wall of the pipe to be welded. Place the wide-angle arc frame 110 on the outside of the pipe and fix it initially with the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200. Then, use the axis motion component 300 to drive the wide-angle arc frame 110 to move along the pipe axis to the welding start position. Adjust the wide-angle arc frame 110 to a suitable welding angle with the circumferential rotation component 270. Finally, use the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200 again for final fixing.
[0077] S2: Connect the splicing arc frame 120 with the wide-angle arc frame 110, and precisely adjust the position and securely connect them through the telescopic connection component 400 and the guide traction component 500 to form a complete ring structure;
[0078] S3: Install the welding base frame 130 on the side of the splicing arc frame 120 away from the wide-angle arc frame 110, and adjust the stable arc frame 490 to the welding position;
[0079] S4: Start the welding mechanism to weld the pipe weld. During the welding process, the axial motion component 300 and the circumferential rotation component 270 cooperate to achieve fully circumferential automatic welding. The welding torch adjustment component adjusts the position of the welding torch, the welding shielding gas supply component provides shielding gas, and the electrical control system controls the welding component to start welding. During the welding process, the weld tracking component monitors and provides feedback on the weld position deviation in real time. The electrical control system adjusts the position and posture of the welding torch. At the same time, according to the welding progress and pipe deformation, the control chip adjusts the inflation volume of the ring pressure airbag unit and the support position of the stabilizing support component 260 to ensure stable welding quality.
[0080] S5: After welding is completed, stop the welding mechanism, adjust the axis movement component 300 to move the wide-angle arc frame 110 away from the weld area, and release the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200 to disengage the wide-angle arc frame 110 from the pipe.
[0081] S6: Disassemble the splicing arc frame 120 and welding base frame 130, and remove the equipment.
[0082] In step S1, when the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200 performs initial or final fixing, the air pump inflates the ring pressure airbag unit to make the airbag 231 fit against the outer wall of the pipe, while the flexible clamping component 250 and the stabilizing top support component 260 provide flexible constraint and stable support for the pipe.
[0083] In step S1, the inflation volume of the air pump and the opening degree of the solenoid valve are precisely controlled by the control chip, so that the inflation degree of the airbag 231 of the ring pressure airbag unit is adapted to the pipe diameter. At the same time, the flexible motor of the flexible clamping component 250 drives the flexible roller 252 to rotate, causing the flexible cloth 253 to unfold and fit against the outer wall of the pipe. The hanging rod helps to fix the flexible cloth 253, forming a flexible constraint on the pipe. The top support hydraulic rod 261 of the stabilizing top support component 260 pushes the top support arc seat 262 to move along the guide column 263. The inner arc surface of the top support arc seat 262 contacts the outer wall of the pipe, initially establishing stable support.
[0084] In step S1, the drive motor 440 of the axial motion component 300 controls the extension and retraction of the moving end of the radial telescopic cylinder 310, thereby adjusting the position of the walking support 320. The track walking unit 330 moves along the axial direction on the outer surface of the pipe, driving the entire device to move precisely along the pipe axis to the welding start position. The drive unit of the circumferential rotation component 270 drives the circumferential rotating wheel 273 to rotate. The circumferential rotating wheel 273 contacts the pipe through the circumferential pipe groove, overcomes the resistance of the stabilizing support component 260, and drives the wide-angle arc frame 110 to rotate around the pipe circumferentially, adjusting to a suitable welding angle. During the process, the guide column 263 and the guide cylinder 264 cooperate to ensure smooth movement.
[0085] In step S2, the connecting plate 450 on one side of the splicing arc frame 120 is aligned with the connecting base 410 at the open end of the wide-angle arc frame 110. The connecting screw is inserted and initially tightened to establish a preliminary connection between the splicing arc frame 120 and the wide-angle arc frame 110. The drive motor 440 on the wide-angle arc frame 110 drives the connecting screw 430 to rotate, pushing the connecting base 410 to move in the connecting base groove 420, further pulling or pushing the splicing arc frame 120 closer together, and precisely adjusting the relative positions of the two to ensure that the splicing arc frame 120 and the wide-angle arc frame 110 fit tightly together. After the docking locking cylinder 471 and the docking rod 472 are aligned, the locking screw is tightened to complete the stable connection. At the same time, the locking telescopic rod 481 on the locking arc frame 480 cooperates with the locking alignment cylinder 482 to further reinforce the connection.
[0086] In step S4, the preparation of the welding mechanism on the welding base frame 130 includes: the welding torch adjustment assembly adjusting the welding torch to the initial position of the weld; the gas cylinder bracket of the welding shielding gas supply assembly fixing the shielding gas cylinder; the gas path connecting to the welding assembly; the weld tracking assembly activating to detect the weld trajectory and feeding back to the electrical control system; the electrical control system controlling the welding assembly to start and ignite the arc to begin the welding process according to the preset welding parameters and real-time feedback information; at the same time, the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200 and the stabilizing mechanism 600 continuously operate to ensure the stability of the pipeline and device during the welding process.
[0087] In step S4, during the welding process, the weld seam tracking component monitors the weld seam position deviation in real time, and the electrical control system adjusts the position and posture of the welding torch in a timely manner to ensure that the welding torch always travels accurately along the weld seam. According to the welding progress and the heat deformation of the pipeline, the inflation volume of the ring pressure airbag unit is adjusted in a timely manner by the control chip to maintain a stable clamping force on the pipeline. At the same time, the top support hydraulic rod 261 of the stable top support component 260 finely adjusts the position of the top support arc seat 262 to adapt to the slight deformation of the pipeline and ensure stable welding quality.
[0088] In steps S4-S6, the welding reaches its end point, the welding assembly stops working, the welding torch automatically returns to a safe position, and the gas supply to the welding shielding gas assembly is shut off. The release of the stabilizing and fixing mechanism 200 and the stabilizing mechanism 600 includes: the air pump reverses to extract gas from the airbag 231, the airbag 231 contracts, the flexible clamping assembly 250 and the stabilizing support assembly 260 release the constraint on the pipeline, the locking screw, the locking telescopic rod 481 and other components are reset, and the connection between the splicing arc frame 120 and the wide-angle arc frame 110 is released. Finally, the device is moved in the opposite direction along the pipeline axis to a suitable position, the entire auxiliary device is removed, and the pipeline welding and installation operation is completed.
