Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a welding device for U-shaped tubes of a split heat exchanger and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, for example, Chinese Invention Patent Publication No. CN119658080B discloses a welding torch for U-shaped dense tubes, including a body and a head. The head is located at one end of the body, and a receiving cavity is formed inside the head. The receiving cavity is open at the end away from the body. A U-shaped tube and two straight tubes connected to the U-shaped tube extend into the receiving cavity of the head from the open end of the receiving cavity, and the end wall of the head away from the body abuts against the outer wall of the heat exchanger casing. A welding mechanism is provided on the side of the head located inside the receiving cavity, and the welding mechanism welds the joint of the U-shaped tube and the straight tubes. However, this welding torch for U-shaped dense tubes only has an observation port on one side of the outer cover and mounting block. After the U-shaped tube is inserted, it is easy to block the small tungsten needle, making it difficult to observe. Moreover, it is located on the side, and when the tube bundle of the heat exchanger is densely arranged, the distance between adjacent U-shaped tubes becomes smaller, and it will be blocked by surrounding tubes, making observation inconvenient and potentially affecting the welding quality.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0018] In the description of this application, the use of "first" and "second" is for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the order of the technical features indicated.

[0019] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0020] Example 1: This embodiment provides a U-tube welding device for a split heat exchanger, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, it includes: First fuselage 1, used to house the piping; The second fuselage 2 is used to house control and drive components; Machine head 3, used for welding U-shaped tubes; The head 3 is located at one end of the first body 1 and the second body 2. The first body 1 is fixedly connected to the head 3, and the first body 1 is detachably connected to the second body 2. The second body 2 is fitted to the head 3. A receiving cavity 31 is formed inside the head 3. The receiving cavity 31 is provided with a first opening 311 for the passage of a U-shaped tube at the end away from the first body 1. The receiving cavity 31 is provided with a second opening 312 for observation at the end closer to the first body 1. A welding mechanism 4 is provided on one side inside the receiving cavity 31. When the second body 2 is detached, the second opening 312 communicates with the outside of the first body 1.

[0021] The separate design of the first body 1 and the second body 2 separates the internal pipes and electrical components, enhancing safety. Water leaks will not affect the electrical components, reducing maintenance costs and risks. The second body 2 can be disassembled relative to the first body 1, exposing the second opening 312. This allows welders to observe the contents of the receiving cavity 31 from above, providing a clearer view without obstruction from surrounding pipes to be welded. Furthermore, the second body 2 is used for control; its removal prevents the welding equipment from starting, avoiding the risk of accidental activation by welders during observation. Additionally, since electrical components are prone to damage, the second body 2 can be directly replaced for maintenance if damaged, minimizing downtime.

[0022] To facilitate the assembly of the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the first body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 101, and the second body 2 is provided with a protrusion 201 that cooperates with the positioning groove 101. The positioning groove 101 and the protrusion 201 are installed together, which enables the first body 1 and the second body 2 to be quickly positioned and assembled, and prevents the two from wobbling relative to each other after assembly.

[0023] To facilitate the assembly of the first body 1 and the second body 2, the first body 1 is provided with a positioning notch 102, and the second body 2 is provided with a positioning block 202 that cooperates with the positioning notch 102. The positioning notch 102 and the positioning block 202 are installed together, which enables the first body 1 and the second body 2 to be quickly positioned and assembled, and prevents the two from shaking relative to each other after assembly.

[0024] To facilitate the assembly of the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2, the first fuselage 1 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 103 arranged along its length, and the second fuselage 2 is provided with an arc-shaped boss 203 that mates with the arc-shaped groove 103. The arc-shaped groove 103 and the arc-shaped boss 203 are installed together, resulting in a larger contact area between the two, which is more conducive to the fitting of the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2. In addition, the long arc-shaped groove 103 can also play a guiding role, making the assembly of the two more convenient.

[0025] In this embodiment, one arc-shaped groove 103 is provided, which is located on the side of the first body 1 facing the second body 2 and is located in the middle; two positioning notches 102 are provided, which are located on both sides of the arc-shaped groove 103; four positioning grooves 101 are provided, with two on each side of the arc-shaped groove 103, and the two positioning grooves 101 on each side are located on the upper and lower parts of the first body 1, respectively.

[0026] To ensure reliable assembly of the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2, a locking mechanism 5 is also included. The locking mechanism 5 includes a locking hook 51 and a locking pin 52 that cooperates with the locking hook 51. The locking hook 51 is rotatably connected to the first fuselage 1, and the locking pin 52 is disposed on the second fuselage 2. In the locked state, the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2 are fitted together, and the locking pin 52 is engaged with the locking hook 51. The locking mechanism 5 is used to fix the first fuselage 1 and the second fuselage 2 together, preventing the second fuselage 2 from detaching and ensuring reliable welding. The locking hook 51 and the locking pin 52 cooperate; the locking hook 51 is in a "7" shape, and after hooking into the locking pin 52, it prevents the second fuselage 2 from detaching outwards.

[0027] To facilitate locking and unlocking, the locking mechanism 5 also includes a handle 53. One end of the handle 53 is connected to the locking hook 51, and the other end extends in the opposite direction to the locking hook 51. Two locking hooks 51, two locking pins 52, and two handles 53 are provided. The two locking pins 52 are located on both sides of the second body 2, and the locking hooks 51 on both sides are connected by a rotating shaft 54, which passes through the first body 1. A linkage rod 55 is provided between the two handles 53. The handle 53 can drive the locking hook 51 to rotate, which makes it convenient to operate the locking hook 51. The two locking hooks 51 clamp the second body 2 in the middle, which can prevent the second body 2 from falling off to the sides and also play a positioning role, and also make it easy for the locking hook 51 to hook into the locking pin 52. The design of the linkage rod 55 makes the two handles 53 move synchronously, which also makes it easy for the welding personnel to operate.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer end of the locking post 52 is provided with a protruding ring 521, and the two sides of the locking hook 51 are respectively attached to the protruding ring 521 and the second body 2, so that the locking hook 51 cannot be dislodged from the locking post 52 from the side, ensuring reliable locking; the handle 53 and the locking hook 51 are integrally formed; two linkage rods 55 are provided, and the two ends of the linkage rods 55 are respectively connected to the handles 53 on both sides by bolts.

[0030] To ensure the reliability of the second machine body 2, a drive component 21, a control switch 22, and a first gear 23 are provided inside the second machine body 2. The control switch 22 and the drive component 21 are electrically connected, and the output end of the drive component 21 is connected to the first gear 23. The welding mechanism 4 includes a transmission gear 41, which meshes with the first gear 23 when the second machine body 2 is assembled. The drive component 21 is used to drive the first gear 23 to perform rotational welding, thereby driving the welding mechanism 4 to perform welding. The control switch 22 is used to control the start and stop of the welding equipment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first gear 23 and the positioning block 202 are located on the same plane, and the first gear 23 is located between the two positioning blocks 202. The positioning block 202 can protect the first gear 23.

The positioning mechanism 6 is used for positioning the U-shaped tube; the positioning plate 61 is used to fit and position the U-shaped tube; the positioning screw 62 is used to fix the position of the slider 63; the slider 63 is used to slide and adjust the position of the positioning plate 61; the locking plate 64 is used to cooperate with the sliding of the slider 63 and to cooperate with the positioning screw 62 for fixation. In use, after the position of the U-shaped tube is adjusted to the correct position, the positioning plate 61 is moved to fit the U-shaped tube, and then the positioning screw 62 is tightened to fix the slider 63, thereby fixing the position of the positioning plate 61. For subsequent U-shaped tubes of the same specifications, the machine head 3 only needs to be directly placed on the U-shaped tube so that the U-shaped tube fits the positioning plate 61 to reach the appropriate welding position, without the need to disassemble the second machine body 2 for observation and adjustment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the locking plate 64 is fixedly connected to the first body 1; the locking plate 64 is provided with a slide groove 641 arranged along the length direction of the first body 1, the slide groove 641 is T-shaped, and the cross-section of the slider 63 is T-shaped and cooperates with the slide groove 641.

[0034] The welding equipment is generally flat. When the second body 2 is combined with the first body 1, the second body 2 can completely cover the second opening 312. In this embodiment, when the second body 2 is combined with the first body 1, the outer surface of the second body 2 and the outer surface of the head 3 are on the same plane or the same arc surface.

When changing to a different specification of U-tube, repeat steps S1-S5.

[0040] After disassembling the second body 2, observation can be performed through the second opening 312. There is no risk of accidental contact during observation, making it more convenient. The position of the U-shaped tube after it enters is controlled by the positioning mechanism 6.
