Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of welding processing of evaporative condensers, in particular to a positioning tool for welding processing of evaporative condensers. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the assembly of evaporative condensers, pipe expansion and welding are the core processes for ensuring the sealing and heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchange tube assembly (condensing tube, fin, tube plate). The mainstream process sequence is generally welding first and then expanding or expanding first and then welding. The expansion rod is inserted into the tube under the drive of a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic machine, expands the tube wall radially, and deforms the tube material plastically to press the fin hole wall. The maximum cross section of the expansion head needs to be slightly larger than the target tube diameter. The welding method is manual welding with welding equipment or automatic or semi-automatic welding using automatic argon arc welding (TIG) or local protection welding.

[0003] The welding of the weld joint between the condensing tube and the tube plate generally adopts the method of zonal skip welding. The welding is performed in layers and zones. The bottom layer of weld (backing weld) is preferentially completed for single-sided backing welding of all condensing tubes to form a continuous sealing layer, thereby avoiding the invasion of impurities during subsequent turning over. During operation, attention needs to be paid to short arc small sawtooth oscillation, control of consistent hole size, arc covering 2 / 3 of the molten pool and 1 / 3 of the hole, completion of welding on the other side after turning over, and return to the initial surface for filling and surface covering to reduce the accumulation of thermal stress. The tube plate is divided into 4 to 6 symmetrical areas, and the welding is performed in an S-shaped path to avoid local overheating. The welding interval between adjacent tubes is greater than or equal to 10 minutes to ensure that the temperature drops below 100 degrees Celsius.

[0004] In the prior art, positioning is generally performed manually. In the "welding first and then expanding" process of the evaporative condenser, the specific parameters of the weld width are determined according to the type of tube material, working pressure and process requirements, and generally do not exceed 3.5 mm. However, the dense arrangement of fins increases the local weight of the condensing tube. If not supported, the tube body is prone to deflection and deformation due to its own weight. If the gap between the fin hole diameter and the tube diameter is too small or the fins are not aligned, it may cause the condensing tube axis to deviate. The above reasons will cause the weld thickness of the tube plate and the condensing tube to be inconsistent and the subsequent bending pipe to be difficult to align. Insufficient thickness (thin weld area) will reduce the weld strength and easily cause cracks under thermal cycling or pressure fluctuations. Over-thick welds (thick weld area) will increase residual stress and cause local deformation of the tube plate. Even uneven thickness will cause uneven heat conduction of the tube plate, which may cause local overheating and accelerate the decomposition of refrigerant.

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a positioning tool for welding processing of evaporative condensers, which can quickly position the cold and warm pipes according to the tube plate through hole, ensure uniform weld width and not affect welding. SUMMARY

The coaxial calibration unit 4 includes a housing 41 fixed to the top of the drive unit 5. A motor 42 is fixed inside the housing 41. The output end of the motor 42 is connected to two sets of external gears 44 and internal gears 45. A rotating block 46 is fixed inside each set of external gears 44 and internal gears 45. A mating block 47 is slidably engaged inside each rotating block 46. Another mating block 47 is slidably engaged inside the housing 41. A calibration rod 48 is slidably connected inside each mating block 47. After the calibration rod 48 is inserted into the condenser body 3, it moves in conjunction with the motor 42 to make the three calibration rods 48 angularly aligned with the weld axis of the condenser body 3. The separation is achieved by using the through hole of the tube sheet 31 and the condenser tube 32 to make the coaxial member 8 squeeze the roller 9 so that the axis of the support part 10 is aligned with the axis of the through hole of the tube sheet 31. The support part 10 is connected to the cylinder 101 inside the outer shell 41 by sliding engagement, the telescopic member 102 fixed inside the cylinder 101, and the support rod 106 connected to the output end of the telescopic member 102 by transmission.
