[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a positioning device 2 for welding an elbow assembly 1, the elbow assembly 1 comprises an elbow 11, two flanges 13 and two short straight pipes 12, one end of the short straight pipe 12 is connected to the elbow 11, and the other end is connected to the flange 13; the flange 13 has a plurality of connection holes for connecting to another flange 13, the middle part of the flange 13 has a through hole 131, the short straight pipe 12 is inserted into the through hole 131, and one end of the short straight pipe 12 inserted into the through hole 131 is located in the through hole 131, the positioning device 2 for welding the elbow assembly 1 comprises:

[0030] Base 21;

[0031] Two flange positioning parts 22, the flange positioning part 22 includes a support frame 221 and a flange positioning plate 222, the support frame 221 is arranged on the base 21, the flange positioning plate 222 is tiltedly arranged on the support frame 221, and at least two positioning members 223 are arranged on the flange positioning plate 222, and the positioning members 223 match the connecting holes; the middle part of the flange positioning plate 222 has a positioning boss 224, and the positioning boss 224 is used to abut against one end of the short straight tube 12 inserted into the through hole 131;

[0032] Among them, after the flange 13 is positioned to the flange positioning plate 222, the short straight tube 12 is inserted into the through hole 131 and abuts against the positioning boss 224, the two short straight tubes 12 are in a state of inclination towards each other, and there is space between the two short straight tubes 12 for placing the bent tube 11; when the bent tube 11 is placed, the two ports of the bent tube 11 are just aligned and abutted with the ports of the two short straight tubes 12.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses a positioning device 2 for welding an elbow assembly 1. An operator places two flanges 13 on two inclined flange positioning plates 222 respectively, and uses the positioning piece 223 to position the flange 13, so that after the two short straight pipes 12 are placed in the through holes 131 of the flange 13, the two short straight pipes 12 are in an inclined state facing each other, and the bottom end height of the short straight pipe 12 is positioned by using the positioning boss 224, so that the relative position between the flange 13 and the short straight pipe 12 is stable, and the operator can first perform spot welding positioning processing on the flange 13 and the short straight pipe 12; then manually place the elbow 11 between the two short straight pipes 12, so that the two ports of the elbow 11 are respectively kept against the ports of the two short straight pipes 12, and finally spot welding is performed on the connection between the elbow 11 and the short straight pipe 12, so that the elbow 11 and the short straight pipe 12 are initially connected, and the relative position between the elbow 11 and the short straight pipe 12 is stable, which is convenient for subsequent welding work and effectively guarantees the subsequent welding effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the flange 13 has a sealing surface 133 on one side facing the flange positioning plate 222; the flange positioning plate 222 has an annular groove 225 on one side facing the flange 13, and the annular groove 225 is arranged around the positioning boss 224; after the flange 13 is positioned, the sealing surface 133 is located in the annular groove 225. The arrangement of the positioning boss 224, in addition to ensuring that the welding positions of the connecting pipe and the elbow 11 are adapted, can also ensure that the process distance between the end of the short straight pipe 12 and the sealing surface 133 meets the requirements, and the annular groove 225 is used to avoid the sealing surface 133 from being in the air.

[0035] Furthermore, the top of the annular groove 225 has a first annular bevel 226; the outer periphery of the sealing surface 133 has a second annular bevel 134; the first annular bevel 226 abuts against the second annular bevel 134. When the flange 13 is installed on the flange positioning plate 222, since the first annular bevel 226 abuts against the second annular bevel 134, the centerline symmetry axis of the positioning boss 224 located in the middle coincides with the central symmetry axis of the through hole 131, which plays a positioning role in the connection between the flange positioning plate 222 and the flange 13, avoiding the position deviation of the flange 13 due to installation error, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the positioning position of the short straight pipe 12, and further ensuring that when the elbow 11 is placed, the two ports of the elbow 11 can be aligned and abutted with the ports of the two short straight pipes 12 at the same time.

[0036] Preferably, the angle α between the flange positioning plate 222 and the vertical direction line A is 45°. The 45° inclined design and the use of the first ring bevel 226 and the second ring bevel 134 can make the flange 13 remain stationary on the flange positioning plate 222 and not easily fall off, making it convenient for the operator to fix the positioning piece 223. At the same time, it avoids the automatic deviation caused by the external welding force and the gravity of the flange 13 and the elbow 11 during welding, which affects the welding quality of the elbow assembly 1 and the relative position in three-dimensional space. The inclination angle of the flange positioning plate 222 will affect the inclination angle of the short straight pipe 12. When the angle α between the flange positioning plate 222 and the vertical direction line A is 45°, after the short straight pipe 12 is placed on the positioning boss 224, the angle between the short straight pipe 12 and the horizontal direction line B is also 45°. The 45° design allows the through hole 131 of the flange 13 to support the outer wall surface of the short straight pipe 12, so that the short straight pipe 12 can remain stationary on the flange 13 and is not easy to fall off.

[0037] It should be noted that the angle between the flange positioning plate 222 and the vertical direction line can be not only 45°, but also an angle close to 45°, such as 40°, 50°, etc., so that the flange 13 can be placed on the flange positioning plate 222 and the short straight pipe 12 can be placed on the flange 13.

[0038] In this embodiment, the positioning member 223 is a screw rod. After the flange 13 is placed, a nut fastener is threadedly connected to the screw rod to fix the flange 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning device 2 for welding the elbow assembly 1 also includes a fixing assembly, and the fixing assembly includes a stationary part 23 and a movable part 24, the stationary part 23 is located on the same side of the two flange positioning parts 22, and the movable part 24 is located on the other side of the two flange positioning parts 22; after the short straight tube 12 is placed on the positioning boss 224, the side of the short straight tube 12 close to the stationary part 23 is against the stationary part 23; before placing the elbow 11, the movable part 24 is moved toward the direction of the flange positioning part 22, so that the two short straight tubes 12 are fixed under the clamping of the stationary part 23 and the movable part 24. After the short straight tube 12 is fixed, it is difficult to move, which is more convenient for the operator to perform spot welding.

[0040] Furthermore, the stationary member 23 and the movable member 24 are both arranged below the top end of the short straight tube 12, thus freeing up space above the short straight tube 12 for operators to perform spot welding work.

[0041] Furthermore, a transmission screw 25 is connected between the movable part 24 and the stationary part 23, and a nut 26 for rotating the transmission screw 25 is provided on the stationary part 23. The transmission screw 25 is fixedly connected to the movable part 24, and the movable part 24 is driven to move forward and backward by rotating the transmission screw 25, thereby realizing the clamping, fixing and loosening of the short straight tube 12.

[0042] Preferably, the movable part 24 can be a strip plate or a round roller rod; the stationary part 23 can be a plate connected to the fixed parts in the positioning device 2, such as the base 21, the flange positioning plate 222, etc., or two spaced limit plates can be set on a plate, and the plate is connected to the base 21 and used as a lifting support member. The two limit plates are used to act on two different positions of the short straight tube 12 to limit the short straight tube 12.

[0043] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. If various changes or modifications to the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and if these changes and modifications fall within the claims of the present invention and the scope of equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
