Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pipe connection and alignment, and particularly relates to a method for quickly aligning and positioning a pipe to be connected. BACKGROUND

[0002] Municipal pipes often need to be connected, old pipes need to be connected, and new pipes need to be connected. Most of the time, the target pipe section needs to be "appropriately" cut and removed according to the relative position of the prefabricated part and the target pipe section, so that the connection port of the target pipe can be aligned with the connection port of the prefabricated part. After many actual field operations, it is found that the positioning, marking, cutting and alignment of the prefabricated part and the target pipe section are relatively time-consuming, and there may be large errors and deviations, which brings certain difficulties to the efficiency and safety of pipe connection work.

[0003] The prior art has the following disadvantages: (1) In the actual operation process of marking and cutting the target pipe section, the dependence on experience is still large, and relative errors are easy to occur, resulting in "the gap between the connection port of the target pipe section and the alignment port of the prefabricated part does not meet the expectation" after cutting; (2) The positioning and marking process of the current alignment method mainly relies on subjective visual judgment, which consumes a lot of time, and the cooperation between workers cannot be divided, so "relative dynamic reference factors" are easy to cause confusion in field cooperation and cooperation, and increase the possibility of deviation and error.

[0004] (3) The current alignment positioning process is complicated, lacks a main line, is relatively vague, has great limitations, and has poor collimation. SUMMARY

[0005] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a method for quickly aligning and positioning a pipe to be connected, which aims to solve the existing technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a method for quickly aligning and positioning a pipe to be connected, comprising the following steps, Preliminary determination of the cutting range of the target pipe section connection port: based on the connection requirements of the target pipe section to be connected and the prefabricated part, the approximate range of the connection port to be cut on the target pipe section is preliminarily determined; Balancing comparison of the prefabricated part: the prefabricated part and the target pipe section are preliminarily aligned, the position of the prefabricated part is adjusted, and the prefabricated part and the target pipe section are ensured to be in a relatively balanced state; The pipe end head scribing positioning ruler is fixed to the end of the prefabricated part: the pipe end head scribing positioning ruler is provided with a bite function side 00', a precise flush line 11' and a quick confirmation flush line 22', the bite function side 00' of the pipe end head scribing positioning ruler is standardized bitten with the end of the prefabricated part, and the precise flush line 11' is precisely flush with the pipe along the end of the prefabricated part; The fixed cross line infrared laser source: the cross line infrared laser source is fixed at a predetermined position, and the cross line infrared laser source can emit transverse laser SS' and vertical laser FD; The laser source and the flush line are combined to position: whether the cross line infrared laser source is coplanar with the end face of the prefabricated part is judged by the quick confirmation flush line 22', if the transverse laser SS' or the vertical laser FD does not shoot to the corresponding position of the quick confirmation flush line 22' of the internal arc surface on the other side of the prefabricated part, the position of the cross line infrared laser source is adjusted until the laser shoots to the corresponding position, and the coplanar positioning is realized; Adjust and determine flush: according to the laser emitted by the cross line infrared laser source and the precise flush line 11', the relative position of the prefabricated part and the target pipe segment is further adjusted to ensure that the two are accurately positioned; Manual scribing ruler scribing: using a manual scribing ruler, a cutting scribing target position is marked on the target pipe segment according to the laser track of the cross line infrared laser source, the cutting scribing target position includes L2 cutting scribing target position CD of the target pipe segment to be connected and L1 cutting scribing target position C'D' of the target pipe segment to be connected; Cutting: according to the marked cutting scribing target position, the target pipe segment is cut, and the cutting segment C'D'M'M of the target pipe segment to be connected and the cutting segment CDN'N of the target pipe segment to be connected are cut off; Cleaning: the cutting surface of the cut target pipe segment and the connection port of the prefabricated part are cleaned to remove impurities and burrs generated during cutting; The prefabricated part and the target pipe segment are pre-fixed: the cleaned prefabricated part and the target pipe segment are connected, and the two are pre-fixed by a pre-set fixing method; Confirm and weld: check whether the pre-fixed position of the prefabricated part and the target pipe segment is accurate, and if there is no error, the connection port of the two is welded; Quality inspection: after welding, the welding quality is inspected to determine whether the welded pipe connection meets the pre-set quality standard.

[0007] Further, the precise flush line 11' and the quick confirmation flush line 22' of the pipe end head scribing positioning ruler in step 3 have a line width of 2-3 mm, and the pipe end head scribing positioning ruler is provided with a spaced hollow structure, so that the laser emitted by the cross line infrared laser source can pass through the hollow area corresponding to the quick confirmation flush line 22' and shoot to the internal arc surface on the other side of the prefabricated part.

[0008] Further, in step 5, when judging whether the cross-line infrared laser source is coplanar with the end face of the prefabricated part, it is necessary to ensure that the horizontal laser SS' and the vertical laser FD can both shoot to the fast confirmation flush line 22' corresponding position of the internal arc face of the other side of the prefabricated part.

[0009] Further, in step 7, when marking the cutting line target position, the cutting line target position needs to match the size of the prefabricated part joint, so as to ensure that the joint of the target pipe segment after cutting can be accurately connected with the joint of the prefabricated part.

[0010] Further, in step 10, the preset fixing mode includes at least one of the following: clamp fixing and temporary spot welding fixing.

[0011] Further, in step 12, the quality inspection includes appearance inspection, size inspection and sealing inspection, the appearance inspection needs to check whether there are defects such as pores, cracks and welding bumps at the welding position, the size inspection needs to measure the size deviation of the joint, and the sealing inspection needs to detect whether there is leakage in the welded pipeline.

[0012] Further, in step 2, when balancing and comparing the prefabricated part, a measuring tool such as a level or a tape measure can be used to assist in adjusting the position of the prefabricated part, so as to ensure the relative balance of the prefabricated part and the target pipe segment.

[0013] Further, in step 4, when fixing the cross-line infrared laser source, it is necessary to ensure that the emission direction of the cross-line infrared laser source is adapted to the axial direction of the prefabricated part, and the laser emission is stable without deviation.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are embodied in: Improve positioning accuracy: through the combination of laser line and pipe end head line positioning ruler, the use of standardized occlusion of positioning ruler 00', accurate flush positioning of line 11', and confirmation of coplanar of laser source and prefabricated part end face by line 22', reduces the error of artificial subjective judgment, ensures the matching accuracy of cutting line and prefabricated part end position, and avoids the problem of inconsistent gap of joint after cutting. Improve work efficiency: simplify the positioning process, clearly define 12 standardized steps, reduce positioning and line drawing time, and make each person responsible for their own work, avoid confusion, and shorten the overall joint operation time. Convenient and labor-saving operation: the positioning ruler structure is designed to adapt to the end of the pipeline, the laser source is easy to adjust, no need to rely on rich experience, reduce the operation difficulty, save time and labor, at the same time, the collimation is reliable, which guarantees the operation safety and quality.
