Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tube sheet welding technology, and more specifically, to a rotary positioning and clamping device for an automatic tube sheet welding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic tube sheet welding machines are key equipment in the manufacturing of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and large pipelines. Their core task is to achieve high-precision welding between tube sheets and tube bodies. With the improvement of automation and intelligence, this device is developing towards higher precision, stronger adaptability, and higher safety. In the future, it will further promote the efficiency and welding quality of automatic tube sheet welding technology, providing a solid guarantee for the high-quality manufacturing of large pipelines and pressure vessels.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (publication number: CN221849143U) proposing an automatic tube sheet welding test plate clamping fixture, comprising a base plate, a clamping platform, a test plate to be processed, and a clamping structure. The clamping platform is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and the test plate to be processed is placed on top of the clamping platform. This utility model of an automatic tube sheet welding test plate clamping fixture can use a control board and a control motor to automatically drive the bolt to rotate, thereby causing the bolt to move inside the nut and abut against the test plate to be processed, thus completing the self-driving screw operation. At the same time, the presence of a buffer ring can slow down the speed and force of contact between the bolt and the test plate to be processed, thereby ensuring the safety of the test plate. Compared with existing clamping fixtures that rely solely on the screw as the clamping element, this device can automatically drive the screw while avoiding pressure from the screw on the test plate, making it convenient for users while ensuring the quality of the test plate.

[0004] While the aforementioned patents can achieve the detection function, they still have the following shortcomings in actual use: In practical use, the above-mentioned solution only fixes the bottom of the tube sheet. However, during welding, the pipe needs to be tightly pressed against the tube sheet. This process can lead to tube sheet displacement, causing deviations in the welding position. This displacement has multiple adverse effects on the tube sheet clamping device. First, the clamping device must withstand additional lateral forces or torques; if the design is not robust enough, the device may loosen or be damaged. Second, changes in the tube sheet position directly affect welding accuracy, leading to weld misalignment, poor continuity, or angular deviations, thus reducing weld quality. Furthermore, uneven stress on the clamps accelerates wear and reduces their service life. More importantly, tube sheet displacement may cause instability in the clamping device, increasing safety hazards.

[0005] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a rotary positioning clamping device for an automatic tube sheet welding machine to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, this design has strong adaptability and can handle various types of tube sheets, reducing reliance on special fixtures, improving system versatility, and the automated adjustment reduces human intervention, reduces errors, and improves operational safety. Furthermore, by quickly adjusting the position and angle of the clamping components, welding efficiency and production efficiency are improved. 4. The fourth hydraulic rod drives the moving plate and limiting sleeve to move, cooperating with the third slide rail, second slider, first support frame, rotating frame, and top structure to clamp the welded pipe and adjust the angle and position between the pipe and the tube sheet, ensuring precise clamping and fine-tuning, thus improving welding quality and stability. Secondly, the automated adjustment function reduces manual intervention, improving operational accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the system's adaptability and flexibility allow it to handle pipes of different sizes and shapes, enhancing the equipment's versatility.

A first fixing frame 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the synchronous toothed belt 23 on the side away from the transmission rod 22. The first fixing frame 24 is rotatably connected to the second support plate 2. The opposite side of the first fixing frame 24 is fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 3.

The third motor 35 drives the threaded rod 36 to rotate through the rotating sleeve 34 inside the limiting plate 38, thereby causing the limiting plate 38 to slide linearly inside the slide groove 37 (the side wall of the slide groove 37 has a limiting groove, and the outside of the limiting plate 38 is provided with a limiting block that is fixedly connected to it. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove and the limiting block, the limiting plate 38 can only slide inside the slide groove 37 and cannot rotate), and drives the limiting groove 39 to move synchronously.

The first hydraulic rod 53 drives the sliding groove plate 54 and the third fixed frame 6 to slide on the outside of the second slide rail 52 with the second slide rail 52 as the stress point, thereby driving the structure on the top of the third fixed frame 6 to move, and the pipe can be moved and rotated through the structure on the top of the third fixed frame 6.

The third hydraulic rod 72 drives the second clamping arm 73 to rotate outside the limit frame 7 with the end of the fixed rod 71 as the stress point, thereby clamping and fixing the end of the pipe away from the clamping assembly. At the same time, the second slider 62 drives it to move, thereby adjusting the relative angle between the pipe and the tube sheet. Meanwhile, the first hydraulic rod 53 drives it to move, thereby pushing the pipe closer to or away from the tube sheet.

[0031] Specifically, the rotary positioning and clamping device of this automatic tube sheet welding machine is used as follows: First, the threaded ring 42 on the outer side of the corresponding limiting ring 4 is installed on the inner side of the worm gear 33.

The inner end of the first clamping arm 43 is rotated by the limiting groove 39 through the limiting plate 38, so that the tube sheet is clamped and fixed by the first clamping arm 43. Then, the pipes to be welded are inserted into the limiting sleeve 83 in sequence. Then, the first hydraulic rod 53 and the second hydraulic rod 67 drive the limiting frame 7 to align with the end of the pipe. Then, the third hydraulic rod 72 drives the second clamping arm 73 to rotate outside the limiting frame 7 with the end of the fixed rod 71 as the stress point, thereby clamping and fixing the end of the pipe. Then, the first hydraulic rod 53 pulls the sliding groove plate 54 and the third fixed frame 6 with the limiting frame 7 at the top and the surrounding structure to move to one side of the tube sheet with the second slide rail 52 as the stress point. Simultaneously, the first screw slide 11 drives the tube sheet to move synchronously to one side of the pipeline using the first support plate 12 and the first slider 13, and the second screw slide 16 drives the second support plate 2 and the tube sheet to rise and fall, so that the height of the tube sheet corresponds to the height of the pipeline. Then, the second motor 31 drives the worm gear 32 to rotate, and the worm wheel 33 drives the inner rotating sleeve 34 to rotate, thereby adjusting the lateral angle of the tube sheet. At the same time, the first motor 21 drives the transmission rod 22 to rotate, and then the synchronous toothed belts 23 on both sides drive the first fixed frame 24 and the first limiting plate 3 to rotate longitudinally, thereby adjusting the longitudinal angle between the tube sheet and the pipe, so that the welding position and relative angle between the tube sheet and the pipe can be precisely adjusted.
