Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valve welding, and in particular to a valve body welding positioning tool. Background Art

[0002] In industrial fluid control systems, the valve body is a key component for controlling fluid flow and direction. Its installation stability has a significant impact on the reliability of the system. To ensure the stability of the valve body during use, it is usually necessary to weld a bracket on the outside of the valve body to provide solid support. At present, the welding process of valve body brackets mostly relies on manual operation, that is, the operator first docks and places the bracket with the valve body, and then performs the welding operation. This traditional welding method has significant defects. On the one hand, due to the lack of precise positioning auxiliary tools, during the docking process, the operator needs to rely on experience to repeatedly calibrate the relative position of the bracket and the valve body to meet the welding requirements. This process not only consumes a lot of time and manpower, but also has high difficulty in position adjustment. On the other hand, the operator not only needs to weld one by one, but also needs to repeatedly calibrate the spacing, angle and other parameters of the two sets of legs through measuring tools to ensure their symmetrical setting.

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0018] In order to facilitate the rapid positioning of the valve body bracket and improve production efficiency, as an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a valve body welding positioning tool described in the present invention includes a support assembly for placing the valve body, the support assembly is provided with an inner positioning assembly for positioning the inner side of the valve body, and an outer positioning assembly for positioning the outer side of the valve body, the support assembly is provided with a pressing assembly corresponding to the valve body, and the pressing assembly drives the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly to approach each other after being pressed down by the valve body, and the outer positioning assembly is provided with a bracket conveying assembly for supporting the valve body bracket to be welded, and a transmission assembly is provided between the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly, and the transmission assembly drives the bracket conveying assembly to squeeze the valve body bracket toward one side of the valve body when the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly are close to each other.

[0019] During use, the two sets of valve body brackets to be welded are placed horizontally on the bracket conveying assembly, and the valve body is hoisted horizontally to the support assembly by hoisting equipment. After the valve body is placed, the valve body's own weight presses down to trigger the pressing assembly, which synchronously drives the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly to move toward the center of the valve body. The inner and outer positioning assemblies squeeze the valve body to achieve precise positioning. This process does not require manual calibration, and the valve body is automatically clamped and fixed to ensure its position accuracy. When the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly move toward each other, the transmission assembly is driven synchronously, and the valve body bracket is driven by the bracket conveying assembly to move horizontally toward the valve body until the valve body bracket and the valve body are in contact, and the alignment and fitting are automatically completed, achieving precise positioning before welding, avoiding manual adjustment errors, and improving positioning efficiency. The positioning operation of the two sets of valve body brackets can be completed synchronously. After the positioning is completed, the contact parts of the valve body and the valve body bracket are welded by welding equipment to ensure that the two are firmly connected. No mid-way position calibration is required throughout the process, effectively reducing the time spent on pre-welding preparation. After the welding operation is completed, the valve body is slowly lifted by the lifting equipment, so that the valve body and the pressing assembly are gradually separated. At this time, the pressing assembly resets due to the loss of extrusion force, and drives the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly to reset outward, and simultaneously releases the clamping state of the valve body. At the same time, during the resetting process of the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly, the transmission assembly drives the bracket conveying assembly to return to the initial position, completing the automated resetting process, reducing manual intervention, and preparing for the next set of valve body and bracket positioning welding operations.

[0020] In order to facilitate the positioning of the inside and outside of the valve body, for example, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the present invention further includes that the inner positioning assembly includes an inner first mounting frame 1, vertically arranged first positioning rollers 2 are installed on both sides of the first mounting frame 1, and a first support member 3 is provided on one side of the first mounting frame 1; the outer positioning assembly includes a second mounting frame 4, vertically arranged second positioning rollers 5 are installed on both sides of the second mounting frame 4, and a second support member 6 is provided on the side of the second mounting frame 4 away from the first mounting frame 1; The first support member 3 is fixedly connected to the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 on the side away from the first positioning roller 2, and the second support member 6 is fixedly connected to the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 on the side away from the second positioning roller 5. A horizontally arranged support seat 9 is provided below the support assembly, and the fixed ends of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support seat 9 through a vertically arranged connecting rod 10.

[0021] When in use, the valve body is slowly placed on the supporting assembly, and the deadweight of the valve body generates vertical downward pressure on the pressing assembly. After the pressing assembly is pressurized, the pressing assembly drives the output ends of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 to extend through the pipeline, and the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 drives the first support member 3 and the first positioning roller 2 to move toward the valve body, and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 drives the second support member 6 and the second positioning roller 5 to move toward the valve body. The first positioning roller 2 fits tightly against the inner wall of the valve body to limit the displacement in the inner diameter direction of the valve body. The second positioning roller 5 simultaneously presses the outer wall of the valve body to form a clamping force with the inner positioning roller to ensure that the valve body is completely fixed in the radial direction. The valve body is positioned on the supporting assembly, which is convenient for the subsequent welding operation of the valve body bracket. The support seat 9 and the connecting rod 10 can ensure the overall stability of the first positioning roller 2 and the second positioning roller 5, making it easier to position the inside and outside of the valve body. The pressing assembly is triggered by the gravity of the valve body itself, and the synchronous movement of the first positioning roller 2 and the second positioning roller 5 can be achieved without an additional power source, simplifying the operation process; the symmetrical arrangement of the first positioning roller 2 and the second positioning roller 5 ensures that the center of the valve body and the center axis of the tooling are automatically aligned, eliminating manual measurement errors. At the same time, positioning can be completed with a single placement, reducing the repeated calibration steps of traditional tooling and improving welding efficiency.

[0022] In order to facilitate driving the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly to clamp and position the valve body, for example, Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the present invention also includes that the pressing assembly includes an arc-shaped frame 11 fixedly connected to the supporting assembly and opening upward, an extrusion block 12 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped frame 11, and an air storage cushion 13 is arranged between the extrusion block 12 and the inner side of the arc-shaped frame 11, and the fixed ends of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 are both connected to an air inlet connector 14, and the air storage cushion 13 is connected to the air inlet connector 14 through a pipeline.

[0023] When in use, the valve body is placed horizontally on the supporting assembly, and the weight of the valve body will vertically press the extrusion block 12 in the pressing assembly downward, and the extrusion block 12 slides downward in the arc frame 11, and the air storage cushion 13 between the extrusion block 12 and the inner side of the arc frame 11 is compressed. After the air storage cushion 13 is pressurized, the internal gas is transported to the air inlet joint 14 of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 through the pipeline, pushing the output ends of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 to extend synchronously. When the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 extends, it drives the first positioning roller 2 of the inner positioning assembly to move toward the inner side of the valve body until it fits with the inner wall of the valve body. When the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 extends, it drives the second positioning roller 5 of the outer positioning assembly to move toward the outer side of the valve body until it fits tightly with the outer side wall of the valve body. The first positioning roller 2 and the second positioning roller 5 achieve radial clamping of the valve body through extrusion, completing the positioning of the valve body. There is no need to manually adjust the positioning components, which reduces the repeated calibration steps in traditional welding, reduces the operation difficulty and labor cost, and at the same time avoids displacement of the valve body during the welding process.

[0024] In order to facilitate the fixing of the valve body bracket, for example, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the present invention also includes that the bracket conveying assembly includes support plates 15 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second mounting frame 4, and the support plates 15 are fixedly connected to a horizontally arranged first hydraulic telescopic rod 16, and the output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to a vertically arranged conveying plate 17, and a magnet 18 is provided on the side of the conveying plate 17 close to the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16, and a plurality of groups of circumferentially distributed conical blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the magnet 18.

[0025] When in use, the two sets of valve body brackets are placed horizontally on one side of the conveying plate 17 close to the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16, so that one end of the valve body bracket contacts the magnet 18 on the conveying plate 17. The magnet 18 magnetically attracts the valve body bracket, and at the same time, the tapered block 19 on the magnet 18 is embedded in the mounting hole 42 on the surface of the valve body bracket, forming a positioning clamping connection, thereby completing the fixation of one end of the valve body bracket; The valve body is hoisted onto the supporting assembly, and the dead weight of the valve body squeezes the air storage cushion 13 of the pressing assembly, driving the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 to approach each other. When the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 moves, it drives the second mounting frame 4 of the external positioning assembly to move synchronously, and then drives the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16, the conveying plate 17 and the valve body bracket to move toward the valve body through the supporting plate 15. At the same time, when the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 approach each other, the transmission structure is driven to work, and the output section of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 is shortened by the transmission structure. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 drives the conveying plate 17 to move further toward the outside of the valve body, so that the valve body bracket is close to the valve body with the conveying plate 17. When the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 complete the clamping of the inside and outside of the valve body, the conveying plate 17 drives the valve body bracket to make close contact with the outside of the valve body, completing the positioning before welding; After welding is completed, the hoisting valve body is moved upward, the valve body no longer squeezes the air storage cushion 13, the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 are reset, and the supporting plate 15, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 and the conveying plate 17 are driven back to the initial position, so as to facilitate the subsequent positioning and welding of the valve body bracket of the next group of valve bodies; It should be pointed out that the valve body bracket described in the present invention includes a support leg 40 and a support 41. The support 41 is provided with circumferentially distributed mounting holes 42. When the valve body bracket is placed, the mounting holes 42 on the support 41 are aligned with the conical block 19, and the support 41 is magnetically adsorbed by the magnet 18 to ensure the overall stability of the valve body bracket; after welding is completed, when the valve body is hoisted and moved upward, the mounting holes 42 of the support 41 are squeezed and contacted with the outer side of the conical block 19, and the conical block 19 facilitates the separation of the support 41 from the conical block 19.

[0026] In order to facilitate the completion of the fitting of the valve body bracket before welding, for example, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes that the transmission assembly includes mounting plates 20 respectively arranged on one side of the first mounting frame 1 and the second mounting frame 4, a second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected between the two sets of mounting plates 20, and a return spring 22 is fixedly connected between the output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 and the mounting plate 20; A first joint 23 communicating with the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 is provided on one side of the support plate 15, and a second joint 24 communicating with the fixed end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 20. The second joint 24 is communicated with the first joint 23 through a pipeline.

[0027] When in use, the valve body bracket is placed on the conveying plate 17 of the bracket conveying assembly and fixed by the magnet 18 and the conical block 19. At this time, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 of the transmission assembly is in a naturally extended state, and the return spring 22 is not compressed. When the valve body is hoisted to the support assembly, the air storage cushion 13 of the pressing assembly is squeezed, driving the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly to move toward the center of the valve body. At this time, the first mounting frame 1 and the second mounting frame 4 drive the mounting plate 20 to approach each other, squeezing the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 to make it contract, and the return spring 22 is compressed. When the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 contracts, the hydraulic oil at the fixed end flows to the first connector 23 through the second joint 24 and the pipeline, pushing the output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 to shorten, and the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 drives the conveying plate 17 to move toward the valve body, so that the valve body bracket is squeezed to the outside of the valve body along with the conveying plate 17, completing the precise fit before welding; After welding is completed, the valve body is lifted, the pressing assembly is reset, the inner positioning assembly and the outer positioning assembly are reset and moved, the pressure between the mounting plates 20 is released, the reset spring 22 pushes the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 to extend, the hydraulic oil flows back through the pipeline, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 is reset synchronously, and the conveying plate 17 returns to its initial position to prepare for the next set of welding; The transmission assembly realizes the linkage between the inner positioning assembly, the outer positioning assembly and the bracket conveying assembly through hydraulic transmission, and automatically triggers the bracket positioning by using the mechanical energy of the valve body downward pressure, without the need for an additional power source, reducing manual operation and positioning efficiency.

[0028] In order to facilitate the surface cleaning of the valve body before welding, for example, Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the present invention also includes symmetrically arranged cleaning components on both sides of the external positioning component, and the cleaning components include elastic hinge seats 25 symmetrically arranged on the outside of the second mounting frame 4, and a horizontally arranged third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 is hinged on the elastic hinge seat 25. The fixed end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 is connected to the air storage cushion 13 through a pipeline and an exhaust valve; The output end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 is provided with a vertically arranged cleaning block 27, and the output end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 is fixedly connected to two groups of vertically arranged positioning rods 28. The upper ends of the positioning rods 28 pass through the cleaning block 27 and are slidably connected to the cleaning block 27. The upper ends of the positioning rods 28 are provided with a limit plate 29, and the upper and lower corners of the cleaning block 27 close to the valve body are provided with wedge-shaped extrusion surfaces 30.

[0029] During use, when the lower end of the valve body is placed on the support assembly and the external positioning assembly moves toward the valve body, the cleaning assembly moves synchronously with the external positioning assembly. The cleaning assembly is first inserted between the flanges on the upper and lower sides of the valve body and cooperates with the positioning rod 28 to enable the cleaning block 27 to move up and down, thereby preventing the cleaning block 27 from affecting the subsequent downward movement of the valve body. As the valve body continues to move downward, the air storage cushion 13 of the pressing assembly is squeezed, and the gas in the air storage cushion 13 enters the fixed end of the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 through the pipeline and the exhaust valve. The air pressure drives the output end of the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 to extend, pushing the cleaning block 27 to expand toward the outside of the valve body. At the same time, the second air pressure telescopic rod 8 is driven by the air pressure of the air storage cushion 13, driving the second mounting frame 4 to move toward the valve body, and then pulling the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 synchronously close to the valve body through the elastic hinge seat 25. At this time, the cleaning block 27 is squeezed and contacted with the outside of the valve body, cooperating with the expansion of the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 to synchronously scrape off impurities such as oil, oxide scale and the like on the outside of the valve body, completing the surface cleaning before welding; At the same time, when the second mounting frame 4 drives the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 to expand outward, the elastic hinge seat 25 undergoes elastic deformation due to the force, storing potential energy; After welding is completed, the valve body is lifted by the lifting equipment and no longer squeezes the air storage cushion 13. Relying on the reset movement of the first air pressure telescopic rod 7 and the second air pressure telescopic rod 8, the second installation frame 4 is driven to reset and move synchronously. At the same time, the gas at the fixed end of the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 flows back into the air storage cushion 13, and the potential energy stored in the elastic hinge seat 25 is released, driving the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 to reset toward the second installation frame 4. As the second air pressure telescopic rod 8 is reset, the second installation frame 4 drives the elastic hinge seat 25, the third air pressure telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 to completely return to the initial state, waiting for the next time the valve body is placed to complete the cleaning of the welding position of the valve body; When the welded valve body is lifted up by the hoisting equipment, the flange at the lower end of the valve body gradually moves away from the supporting assembly as the lifting action progresses. When the flange moves to the lower boundary of the cleaning block 27, the edge of the flange contacts the wedge-shaped extrusion surface 30 at the lower corner of the cleaning block 27, generating a thrust on the cleaning block 27, causing the cleaning block 27 to slide on the positioning rod 28, thereby preventing the valve body from being obstructed by the cleaning block 27 during the upward movement.

[0030] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes that the support assembly includes a first support ring 31 and a second support ring 32 arranged horizontally, the second support ring 32 is located on the inner side of the first support ring 31, and the first support ring 31 and the second support ring 32 are both provided with notches, and the two ends of the first support ring 31 and the second support ring 32 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the arc frame 11, and the first support ring 31 and the second support ring 32 are provided with a plurality of groups of circumferentially distributed support plates 33, and the lower surfaces of the first support ring 31 and the second support ring 32 are provided with a plurality of groups of vertically arranged support legs 34.

[0031] When in use, the first support ring 31, the second support ring 32 and the support plate 33 can improve the overall stability, which is convenient for the stable placement of the flange valve body; at the same time, the first support ring 31 and the second support ring 32 can further improve the overall stability of the arc frame 11, which is convenient for the valve body to be pressed down to drive the pressing assembly to work when the valve body is placed; the support legs 34 can further ensure the overall stability of the support assembly.

[0032] For example, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the present invention also includes that an arc-shaped positioning frame 35 is provided on one side of the conveying plate 17, and a plurality of groups of balls 36 are provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped positioning frame 35. A vertically arranged support rod 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped positioning frame 35, and a horizontal plate 38 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support rod 37, and one end of the horizontal plate 38 is fixedly connected to the first support ring 31.

[0033] During use, when the valve body bracket is placed on the conveying plate 17, the outer side of the valve body bracket is located inside the arc-shaped positioning frame 35. The contour of the arc-shaped positioning frame 35 matches the curvature of the outer side of the valve body bracket, forming a semi-enclosed support, thereby facilitating the horizontal movement of the valve body bracket and providing convenience for subsequent welding. The balls 36 on the inside of the arc-shaped positioning frame 35 are in contact with the surface of the valve body bracket. When the conveying plate 17 is driven by the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 to move toward the valve body, the rolling of the balls 36 can reduce the resistance between the valve body bracket and the arc-shaped positioning frame 35, making the valve body bracket move more smoothly. Even under heavy load conditions, the balls 36 can ensure the smooth movement of the valve body bracket.

[0034] For example, Figure 4 、 Figure 6 As shown, the present invention further includes that the support seat 9 is located below the first support ring 31 , and the support seat 9 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the transverse plate 38 via a pull rod 39 .

[0035] During use, the pull rod 39 can further ensure the stability of the support base 9.

[0036] When the present invention is in use, two sets of valve body brackets to be welded are horizontally placed on the conveying plate 17 of the bracket conveying assembly, so that the mounting holes 42 on the supports 41 are aligned with the tapered blocks 19 on the conveying plate 17, and the valve body brackets are fixed by the magnetic attraction of the magnets 18, ensuring that the tapered blocks 19 are embedded in the mounting holes 42; when the valve body brackets are placed on the conveying plate 17, the outer sides of the valve body brackets are located inside the arc-shaped positioning frame 35, and the contour of the arc-shaped positioning frame 35 matches the outer curvature of the valve body brackets, forming a semi-enclosed support, thereby facilitating the horizontal movement of the valve body brackets and providing convenience for subsequent welding; The valve body is hoisted onto the supporting assembly. When the lower end of the valve body is placed on the supporting assembly, when the external positioning assembly moves toward the valve body, the cleaning assembly moves synchronously with the external positioning assembly. The cleaning assembly is first inserted between the flanges on the upper and lower sides of the valve body, and cooperates with the positioning rod 28 to enable the cleaning block 27 to move up and down, thereby preventing the cleaning block 27 from affecting the subsequent downward movement of the valve body; as the valve body continues to move downward, the air storage cushion 13 of the pressing assembly is squeezed, and the gas in the air storage cushion 13 enters the fixed end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 through the pipeline and the exhaust valve. The air pressure drives the output end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 to extend, pushing the cleaning block 27 expands toward the outside of the valve body. At the same time, the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 is driven by the air pressure of the air storage cushion 13, driving the second mounting frame 4 to move toward the valve body, and then pulling the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 synchronously close to the valve body through the elastic hinge seat 25. At this time, the cleaning block 27 is squeezed into contact with the outside of the valve body, cooperating with the expansion of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 to synchronously scrape off oil, oxide scale and other impurities on the outside of the valve body, completing the surface cleaning before welding; at the same time, when the second mounting frame 4 drives the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 to expand outward, the elastic hinge seat 25 is elastically deformed due to the force, storing potential energy; At the same time, the weight of the valve body will vertically press the extrusion block 12 in the pressing assembly downward, and the extrusion block 12 slides downward in the arc frame 11, and the air storage cushion 13 between the extrusion block 12 and the inner side of the arc frame 11 is compressed. After the air storage cushion 13 is pressurized, the internal gas is transported to the air inlet joint 14 of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 through the pipeline, pushing the output ends of the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 to extend synchronously, and the first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 drives the first support member 3 and the first positioning roller 2 to move toward the valve body, and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 drives the second support member 6 and the second positioning roller 5 to move toward the valve body. The first positioning roller 2 is tightly fitted with the inner side wall of the valve body to limit the displacement in the inner diameter direction of the valve body, and the second positioning roller 5 synchronously presses the outer side wall of the valve body to form a clamping force with the inner positioning roller to ensure that the valve body is completely fixed in the radial direction, and the valve body is positioned on the support assembly, which is convenient for subsequent welding operations of the valve body bracket; When the first mounting frame 1 and the second mounting frame 4 drive the mounting plate 20 toward each other, squeezing the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 to cause it to contract, the return spring 22 is compressed, and when the second hydraulic telescopic rod 21 contracts, the hydraulic oil at the fixed end flows through the second joint 24 and the pipeline to the first joint 23, pushing the output end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 to shorten. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 drives the conveying plate 17 to move toward the valve body, so that the valve body bracket is squeezed to the outside of the valve body along with the conveying plate 17, completing the precise fitting before welding; the rolling of the ball 36 can reduce the resistance between the valve body bracket and the arc-shaped positioning frame 35, making the valve body bracket move more smoothly; After welding is completed, the hoisting valve body moves up, and the valve body no longer squeezes the air storage cushion 13. The first pneumatic telescopic rod 7 and the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 are reset, driving the support plate 15, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 16 and the conveying plate 17 to return to their initial positions, so as to facilitate the subsequent positioning and welding of the valve body bracket of the next group of valve bodies; at the same time, the gas at the fixed end of the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 flows back into the air storage cushion 13, and the potential energy stored in the elastic hinge seat 25 is released, driving the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 to reset toward the second mounting frame 4. As the second pneumatic telescopic rod 8 is reset, the second mounting frame 4 drives the elastic hinge seat 25, the third pneumatic telescopic rod 26 and the cleaning block 27 to completely return to their initial state, waiting for the next valve body to be placed to complete the cleaning of the welding position of the valve body.
