Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of assembly and welding technology, specifically relating to a gap adjustment tooling. Background Technology

[0002] When assembling internal T-shaped structures in sections of a large cylindrical body, there are differences in the ellipticity of the entire T-shaped structure and the ellipticity of the cylindrical body in certain areas. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylindrical body to ensure that the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylindrical body meets the welding requirements.

[0003] In related technologies, a method of spot welding a wedge onto the web of the T-shaped structure and then inserting an iron wedge to adjust the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylinder is used. However, this method affects the appearance quality of the cylinder and the T-shaped structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a gap adjustment fixture, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that adjusting the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylinder by spot-welding a plate onto the web of a T-shaped structure and then inserting an iron wedge affects the appearance quality of the cylinder and the T-shaped structure.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A gap adjustment fixture is used to adjust the gap between a cylindrical body and a T-shaped structure. The gap adjustment fixture includes: a support member for supporting the T-shaped structure; multiple connecting components that can be detachably connected to the T-shaped structure; and multiple telescopic members that correspond one-to-one with the multiple connecting components, one end of each telescopic member abutting against the corresponding connecting component, and the other end abutting against the cylindrical body.

[0006] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly includes: a first connector that abuts against the telescopic member; and a second connector that is detachably connected to the T-shaped structure and connected to the first connector; wherein the second connector is located between the cylinder and the first connector.

[0007] In some implementations, the first connector and the second connector are arranged at an angle.

[0008] In some implementations, the T-shaped structure includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member connected at an angle to the first, the second mounting member having a mounting groove; wherein the second mounting member is partially embedded in the mounting groove.

[0009] In some implementations, the width of the second mounting element matches the width of the mounting groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second connector has a notch communicating with the mounting groove; wherein the first mounting member passes through the notch.

[0011] In some implementations, the notch is angled relative to the mounting groove.

[0012] In some implementations, the depth of the notch is less than the depth of the mounting groove.

[0013] In some implementations, the telescopic member and the T-shaped structure of the kit are located on opposite sides of the second connector.

[0014] In some implementations, the support member is provided with rollers on its top.

[0015] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a control method applied to the aforementioned gap adjustment fixture, the gap adjustment fixture including a controller connected to the heat exchanger and the water pump assembly, the control method including:

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following: Since the support components are used to support the T-shaped structure, multiple connecting components can be detachably connected to the T-shaped structure. Multiple telescopic components correspond one-to-one with multiple connecting components. One end of the telescopic component abuts against the corresponding connecting component, and the other end abuts against the cylinder. Therefore, when adjusting the gap between the cylinder and the T-shaped structure, the T-shaped structure is connected to the multiple connecting components, and the multiple telescopic components are activated. The telescopic components extend to drive the corresponding connecting components to move away from the cylinder. The connecting components drive the T-shaped structure to move on the support components so that the gap between the cylinder and the T-shaped structure meets the requirements, and welding can then be carried out. After welding, the multiple connecting components can be directly separated from the T-shaped structure. It is not necessary to spot weld auxiliary plates on the web of the T-shaped structure, nor is it necessary to insert iron wedges between the auxiliary plates and the cylinder. This ensures the appearance quality of the T-shaped structure and the segmented shell plates of the cylinder. The number of construction personnel (no spot welding personnel or grinding personnel are required) is significantly reduced, reducing labor intensity, lowering costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0017] Since multiple telescopic components correspond one-to-one with multiple connecting components, the extension amount of each telescopic component can be the same or different when it extends. That is, the extension amount of each telescopic component is adjusted according to the gap between the cylinder and the T-shaped structure to make the gap between each area of ​​the T-shaped structure and the cylinder consistent, so as to improve the welding quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0023] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0025] In related technologies, when adjusting the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylinder, iron wedges need to be inserted between the support plate and the cylinder. During the insertion of the iron wedges into the support plate and the cylinder, scratches are left on the segmented shell plates of the cylinder, affecting the appearance quality of the cylinder. Moreover, after the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylinder is adjusted, the spot-welded support plate needs to be cut off, and the remaining support plate roots need to be planed off, which also affects the appearance quality of the web plate of the T-shaped structure.

[0026] Based on these technical problems, this application provides a gap adjustment fixture, which aims to solve the technical problem that the method of spot welding a wedge onto the web of a T-shaped structure and then inserting an iron wedge to adjust the gap between the T-shaped structure and the cylinder affects the appearance quality of the cylinder and the T-shaped structure.

[0027] The design concept of this application is: to connect the cylinder and the T-shaped structure in a separable manner through multiple connecting components, and to adjust the gap between the cylinder and the T-shaped structure by the extension and retraction of the telescopic components, thereby achieving the technical effect of eliminating the need to weld the mounting plate to the T-shaped structure and ensuring the appearance quality of the cylinder and the T-shaped structure.

[0028] Specific technical solutions will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale. Similar or identical reference numerals may be used to designate the same or similar parts in different figures. The use of similar or identical reference numerals in different figures does not mean that all figures including similar or identical reference numerals constitute a single or the same embodiment. The accompanying drawings illustrate the various embodiments discussed in this application in a generalized, illustrative, and not restrictive manner.

[0029] Combination Figure 1The gap adjustment fixture of this application embodiment is used to adjust the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50. The gap adjustment fixture includes: a support member 10, multiple connecting components 20, and multiple telescopic components 30. The support member 10 is used to support the T-shaped structure 50. The multiple connecting components 20 are detachably connected to the T-shaped structure 50. The multiple telescopic components 30 correspond one-to-one with the multiple connecting components 20, with one end of the telescopic component 30 abutting against the corresponding connecting component 20 and the other end abutting against the cylinder 40. For example, the telescopic component 30 can be a jack.

[0030] Since the support member 10 is used to support the T-shaped structure 50, multiple connecting components 20 can be detachably connected to the T-shaped structure 50, and multiple telescopic members 30 correspond one-to-one with the multiple connecting components 20, one end of the telescopic member 30 abuts against the corresponding connecting component 20, and the other end abuts against the cylinder 40. Therefore, when adjusting the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50, the T-shaped structure 50 is connected to the multiple connecting components 20, and the multiple telescopic members 30 are activated. The telescopic members 30 extend to drive the corresponding connecting components 20 to move away from the cylinder 40. The component 20 drives the T-shaped structure 50 to move on the support component 10, so that the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50 meets the requirements and welding can be carried out. After welding, multiple connecting components 20 can be directly separated from the T-shaped structure 50. It is not necessary to spot weld auxiliary plates on the web of the T-shaped structure, nor is it necessary to insert iron wedges between the auxiliary plates and the cylinder 40. This ensures the appearance quality of the T-shaped structure and the segmented shell plates of the cylinder 40. The number of construction personnel (no spot welding personnel and grinding personnel are required) is significantly reduced, reducing labor intensity, reducing costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] Since multiple telescopic components 30 correspond one-to-one with multiple connecting components 20, the extension amount of each telescopic component 30 can be the same or different when it extends. That is, the extension amount of each telescopic component 30 is adjusted according to the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50, so that the gap between each area of ​​the T-shaped structure 50 and the cylinder 40 is consistent, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0032] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, to enable the connecting component 20 to drive the T-shaped structure 50, the connecting component 20 includes a first connecting member 21 and a second connecting member 22. The first connecting member 21 abuts against the telescopic member 30. The second connecting member 22 is detachably connected to the T-shaped structure 50 and connected to the first connecting member 21. The second connecting member 22 is located between the cylinder 40 and the first connecting member 21.

[0033] When adjusting the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50, the second connector 22 is connected to the T-shaped structure 50, and multiple telescopic components 30 are activated. The telescopic components 30 extend to push the first connector 21 away from the cylinder 40. The first connector 21, through the second connector 22, drives the T-shaped structure 50 to move on the support 10, so that the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50 meets the requirements, and welding can then be carried out. After welding, the second connector 22 can be directly separated from the T-shaped structure 50. It is not necessary to spot weld auxiliary plates on the web of the T-shaped structure, nor is it necessary to insert iron wedges between the auxiliary plates and the cylinder 40. This ensures the appearance quality of the T-shaped structure and the segmented shell plates of the cylinder 40. The number of construction personnel (no spot welding personnel or grinding personnel required) is significantly reduced, reducing labor intensity, lowering costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are arranged at an angle so that the telescopic member 30 can abut against the first connector 21 and the first connector 21 can drive the second connector 22 to move.

[0035] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 can be set from 45° to 135°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 is 90°, that is, the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are set perpendicularly, which is only used as an example and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0036] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22, the first connector 21 may be welded to the second connector 22.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to enable the second connector 22 to be detachably connected to the T-shaped structure 50, the T-shaped structure 50 includes a first mounting member 51 and a second mounting member 52 connected at an angle to the first mounting member, and the second connector 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221. The second mounting member 52 is partially embedded in the mounting groove 221.

[0038] When adjusting the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50, the second mounting member 52 is inserted into the mounting groove 221. Multiple telescopic members 30 are then activated, extending to push the first connecting member 21 away from the cylinder 40. The first connecting member 21 then moves the second connecting member 22. The groove wall of the mounting groove 221 applies force to the second mounting member 52, causing it to move. The second mounting member 52 then moves the first mounting member 51, adjusting the distance between the end of the first mounting member 51 away from the second mounting member 52 and the cylinder 40. To ensure that the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50 meets the requirements, welding can be carried out. After welding, the second mounting part 52 can be directly removed from the mounting groove 221, thus separating the second connecting part 22 from the T-shaped structure 50. It is not necessary to spot weld auxiliary plates on the web of the T-shaped structure, nor is it necessary to insert iron wedges between the auxiliary plates and the cylinder 40. This ensures the appearance quality of the T-shaped structure and the segmented shell plates of the cylinder 40. The number of construction personnel (no spot welding personnel or grinding personnel required) is significantly reduced, reducing labor intensity, lowering costs, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52 can be set to 45° to 135°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52 is 90°, that is, the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52 are set perpendicularly, which is only used as an example and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0040] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, in order to ensure smooth separation of the second connector 22 from the T-shaped structure 50, the width of the second mounting member 52 matches the width of the mounting groove 221.

[0041] When the width of the second mounting component 52 precisely matches the width of the mounting groove 221, the second mounting component 52 can slide smoothly within the mounting groove 221 during installation and separation. Excessive friction or jamming due to width mismatch will not occur, allowing operators to quickly and easily separate the second connecting component 22 from the second mounting component 52, improving the efficiency and convenience of installation and separation operations. Furthermore, it prevents the second mounting component 52 from wobbling within the mounting groove 221 due to excessive gaps, ensuring the stability of the movement of the second mounting component 52 driven by the second connecting component 22.

[0042] Combination Figure 1In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation and removal of the second mounting member 52 within the mounting groove 221, the second connecting member 22 is provided with a notch 222 communicating with the mounting groove 221. The first mounting member 51 passes through the notch 222, which accommodates the first mounting member 51, preventing the structure of the second connecting member 22 from interfering with the movement of the first mounting member 51 and ensuring that the second mounting member 52 can be smoothly installed and removed within the mounting groove 221.

[0043] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, since the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52 are set at an angle, in order to facilitate the installation and separation of the second mounting member 52 in the mounting groove 221, the notch 222 is set at an angle to the mounting groove 221 so that the arrangement of the notch 222 and the mounting groove 221 is adapted to the arrangement of the first mounting member 51 and the second mounting member 52.

[0044] In some embodiments, the included angle between the notch 222 and the mounting groove 221 can be set to 45° to 135°. In this embodiment, the included angle between the notch 222 and the mounting groove 221 is 90°, that is, the notch 222 and the mounting groove 221 are set perpendicularly, which is only used as an example and should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the depth of the notch 222 is less than the depth of the mounting groove 221, so that the groove wall of the mounting groove 221 can exert a force on the second mounting member 52, ensuring that the second connector 22 can drive the second mounting member 52 to move.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the telescopic member 30 and the T-shaped structure 50 are located on opposite sides of the second connector 22 to avoid the telescopic member 30 interfering with the movement of the T-shaped structure 50.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, in order to reduce friction, the top of the support member 10 is provided with a roller 60 to ensure smooth movement of the T-shaped structure 50.

[0048] In some embodiments, multiple connecting components 20 are evenly spaced at equal angles. When multiple telescopic components 30 extend simultaneously, the T-shaped structure 50 can move smoothly and precisely along the expected trajectory, thereby more accurately controlling the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50, so that the gap between the cylinder 40 and the T-shaped structure 50 meets the requirements.

[0049] In some embodiments, the clearance adjustment fixture further includes an assembly platform 70, on which the support member 10 and the cylinder 40 are both disposed, and the assembly platform 70 supports the support member 10 and the cylinder 40.
