Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cladding, in particular to an adjustable tooling for cladding of composite tees. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the cladding industry, the following problems are faced when cladding the branch pipe of the composite tee:

[0003] 1. Unstable placement: In the cladding industry, composite tee cladding branch pipe is a crucial process. However, in this process, the shape of the main pipe is cylindrical, which brings considerable trouble to the operation. Due to the inherent characteristics of the cylindrical main pipe, it is not easy to place it firmly, and it is easy to slip with a slight external force. This instability not only increases the complexity of the welding process, but also makes the welding work more difficult. The cylindrical design of the main pipe means that it has only one contact point on the horizontal plane, which leads to its instability during the welding process. Especially when performing composite tee cladding branch pipes, extremely high precision and stability are required to ensure welding quality and efficiency. However, the unstable placement of the main pipe makes it difficult for welders to perform precise operations, and may even cause welding interruptions due to the sudden slip of the main pipe, which not only affects work efficiency, but also may pose a threat to workers' safety. In addition, due to the instability of the main pipe, welders need to spend more time and energy to adjust the position of the main pipe to ensure its stability. This not only increases the complexity of the welding process, but also may lead to a decline in welding quality. Therefore, how to solve the problem of unstable placement of the main pipe has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in the cladding industry.

[0004] 2. Difficulty in horizontal movement: For the manual placement of large-sized tee cladding branches, these branches are large in size and heavy in weight, so professional crane equipment is needed to assist in the placement process. Workers need to operate the crane carefully to ensure that the branch can be accurately lifted to the designated position. In this process, they must also accurately insert the bottom of the main pipe into the slot to ensure the stability and fixity of the branch. After completing this step, the next step is to gradually level the workpiece by crane. This link also requires superb skills and rich experience. Because once the operation is improper, it may cause the branch to tilt or move, which will cause a safety accident.

[0005] 3. Difficulty in center alignment: In the operation of compact machines, small-sized tee branches are usually aligned by manual handling. Although this method is relatively simple, it is impractical for large-sized tee branches. At this time, the operator often has to use impact to move the tee to align its center. However, this method has great defects. First, the impact method can easily cause damage or defects to the pipe fittings during the impact process. This will not only affect the normal operation of the machine, but also may cause safety hazards, and even require frequent replacement of damaged pipe fittings, increasing maintenance costs. Secondly, the impact method may also cause harm to the personal safety of the operator. If the impact force is too large or the operation is improper, the operator may be injured.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop adjustable tooling for composite tee cladding to solve the problems of unstable placement, difficulty in horizontal movement, and difficulty in centering the circle during composite tee cladding. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] The utility model is an adjustable tooling for composite tee surfacing, comprising a base portion, a plane moving portion and a relatively flat flip portion. The base portion comprises a compact welding machine rotating chassis 1 and a rectangular frame 2. The rectangular frame 2 and the compact welding machine rotating chassis 1 are connected in a nested manner. The rectangular frame 2 is made of four square steels welded in pairs. A pair of cylinders are provided below the two short sides of the rectangular frame 2. The cylinders are inserted into the connection holes of the compact welding machine rotating chassis 1 to firmly fix them. The compact welding machine rotating chassis 1 is made of high-strength steel, which can withstand large loads and impact forces, ensuring that the equipment can operate stably even in harsh environments.

[0024] The plane moving part includes a plane slide rail 3, a slider 6 and a connecting crossbeam 9. The plane slide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the rectangular frame 2 by screws. There are two plane slide rails 3. The slider 6 is located in the slide groove of the plane slide rail 3. The connecting crossbeam 9 connects the two sliders 6 so that they can move horizontally in coordination. The plane slide rail 3 is a precisely machined flat guide rail, which is firmly fixed to the rectangular frame 2 by screws to provide strong support and stability. The slider 6 is a special component, which is cleverly designed to be embedded in the groove on the plane slide rail 3, ensuring that the slider 6 can slide freely on the plane slide rail 3. This structure enables the slider 6 to move horizontally smoothly on the plane slide rail 3, providing a reliable foundation for the movement of the entire device. At the same time, the connecting crossbeam 9 plays a key role, which connects the sliders 6 on the two plane slide rails 3. The connecting crossbeam 9 is located at the bottom of the slider 6 and tightly connects the slider 6 together through a suitable connection method. This design ensures that the two sliders 6 can move horizontally at the same time to maintain balance and stability. No matter how far one of the sliders 6 moves on the planar rail 3, it will pull the other slider 6 to move accordingly, thereby achieving synchronous movement of the entire system. After the planar moving part moves to the appropriate position, it can be fixed in its position and can adapt to 500 kg linear impact.

[0025] The utility model comprises a plane slide rail 3 with square steel connected at the bottom, a slider 6 nested on the plane slide rail 3, a connecting beam 9 connecting the sliders 6 at both ends, and a bidirectional screw 4 located on the connecting beam 9. First, the plane slide rail 3 with square steel connected at the bottom is the basis of the entire horizontal moving part. The plane slide rail 3 is made of high-strength square steel and has excellent bearing capacity and stability. Its surface is precisely processed and smooth, providing a smooth moving path for the slider. The length and width of the plane slide rail 3 are customized according to the actual needs of the equipment to meet the application requirements in different scenarios. The slider 6 nested on the plane slide rail 3 is one of the core components of the horizontal moving part. The slider 6 is made of wear-resistant material and has good wear resistance and durability. Its internal structure is cleverly designed and can fit closely with the plane slide rail 3 to achieve smooth sliding. The slider 6 is also provided with a mounting hole for installing the connecting beam 9 to make the entire structure more stable. The connecting beam 9 is a key component connecting the sliders 6 at both ends. It is usually made of high-strength steel and has high bending resistance. The length and cross-sectional shape of the connecting crossbeam 9 are adjusted according to the design requirements of the equipment to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability. A bidirectional screw 4 is also installed on the connecting crossbeam 9, and the movement of the slider 6 is driven by the rotation of the bidirectional screw 4, so as to achieve precise control of the entire horizontal moving part. The bidirectional screw 4 is an important transmission element of the horizontal moving part. It is made of high-precision thread processing and can fit tightly with the internal thread of the slider. Through the rotation of the bidirectional screw 4, the moving distance and speed of the slider 6 on the plane slide rail 3 can be accurately controlled. The bidirectional screw 4 is usually made of cemented carbide material, has high wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments. In addition to the key components mentioned above, the horizontal moving part may also include some auxiliary devices, such as limit switches, sensors, etc. These devices can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time to ensure that the equipment can be shut down in time when an abnormality occurs to avoid causing greater losses.

[0026] The relatively flat part of the flipping includes a bidirectional screw rod 4, a flip wheel 5 and a forward and reverse nut 7. The two forward and reverse nuts 7 are fixedly connected to the connecting beam 9 by bolts. The two flip wheels 5 are fixed on the connecting beam 9. The bidirectional screw rod 4, the forward and reverse nuts 7 are connected to the flip wheel 5, and a composite tee 8 is placed between the flip wheels 5. When on the connecting beam 9, the two forward and reverse nuts 7 are fixed by bolts and fixed to the flip wheel 5 on the beam together with the bidirectional screw rod 4 used in conjunction with the reverse nut. By turning the bolts clockwise or counterclockwise, the gap between the two pairs of flip wheels 5 can be adjusted to accommodate composite tees 8 of different specifications. This design not only provides flexibility, but also allows the flip wheel 5 to be rotated by remote control. When rotating, it drives the composite tee 8 above to rotate together, so that the pipe mouth above it is parallel to the ground. The ingenious design of this structure makes the operation more convenient and ensures the accurate alignment of the pipe mouth. The slider 6 is provided with a locking mechanism; the flip wheel 5 is provided with a locking mechanism, and the flip wheel 5 is connected to an external drive motor; when the equipment is powered on, the tee can be fixed as if there is no human operation to prevent the tee from rotating.

[0027] The method for using the adjustable tooling for composite tee surfacing of the utility model comprises the following steps:

[0028] 1) After the adjustment tool is powered on, operate the crane to lift the composite tee 8 to be clad onto the flip wheel 5 on the adjustment tool, and adjust the distance between the flip wheels 5 by controlling the rotation of the bidirectional screw 4 to adapt to the size of the composite tee 8. The flip wheel 5 is equipped with a locking mechanism to ensure that the composite tee 8 will not roll when no one is operating; the surface of the flip wheel 5 is engraved with anti-skid patterns to enhance friction and prevent the composite tee 8 from sliding.

[0029] 2) After the composite tee 8 is placed, operate the crane to a safe area, keep a safe distance between the operator and the adjustment tooling, start the flip wheel 5, and drive the composite tee 8 to rotate. When the composite tee 8 is heavy, use the low-speed rotation mode. Before starting the rotation, place a level ruler at the branch port of the composite tee 8 to keep the composite tee 8 level with the ground.

[0030] 3) After the composite tee 8 branches are placed horizontally, the slider 6 is adjusted to move left and right in the horizontal direction. The horizontal direction is divided into four directions: front, back, left, and right. When installing the plane slide rail 3, the center position of the circle in the left and right directions is determined in advance. When the composite tee 8 is placed, the center of the circle in the left and right directions will automatically align. By controlling the movement of the slider 6, the composite tee 8 above is driven to move, and the center position of the circle in the front and back directions is determined.

[0031] The moving speed is divided into two modes, low speed and high speed, to meet different operation requirements. When the distance to be moved is long, the high speed mode can be selected to improve efficiency; when the distance is close to the target position, it should be switched to the low speed mode for fine adjustment to ensure accuracy. In addition, the slider 6 is provided with a locking mechanism. When the center position is adjusted, the locking device can be activated to fix the slider 6 to prevent the pipe from shaking due to the rotation of the compact welding machine rotating chassis 1 during the subsequent surfacing process. This design ensures the stability and safety of the operation.
