When the welding pipeline needs to be repaired and the repair environment is inconvenient, the repair personnel can quickly transport and transport the welding machine consisting only of the welding gun 5 and the adjusting mechanism 3, and the quick connection part of the adjusting mechanism 3 can be quickly docked with the annular track 4, which can achieve a rapid response to the repair.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a welding box 6, an output guide rod 7, a first adjustment assembly, a second adjustment assembly, and a third adjustment assembly 13. A strip hole is opened on one side of the welding box 6 along the height direction. The output guide rod 7 movably passes through the strip hole and the outer end is connected to the welding gun 5. The first adjustment assembly is connected to the inner end of the output guide rod 7 and is used to drive the output guide rod 7 to telescopically move in the horizontal direction.

[0064] The second adjustment component is used to drive the output guide rod 7 to move along the strip hole. The third adjustment component 13 is used to adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 5. The first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are arranged in the welding box 6, and the welding box 6 plays a role in protecting the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component to prevent the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component from being damaged by external impact. The third adjustment component 13 is installed outside the welding box 6 and connected to the welding gun 5, so as to adjust the angle and direction of the welding end of the welding gun 5. Figure 3 The left and right direction is the horizontal direction, and the up and down direction is the height direction.

[0065] As can be seen from the above, the present application couples the three groups of adjustment components of the adjustment mechanism 3 on the inside and outside of the welding box 6, thereby minimizing the volume and reducing the overall weight while ensuring that the motion stroke remains unchanged. Among them, the structural parts in the adjustment mechanism 3 of the present application are all made of medium and low density engineering materials such as high-strength aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and engineering plastics. Under the condition of meeting the reliability and structural rigidity of the adjustment mechanism 3, the overall weight and external dimensions of the adjustment mechanism 3 are strictly controlled.

[0066] like Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, the first adjustment component includes a first rotary drive member 8, a first rotary screw 10 and a first slider. The first rotary screw 10 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is connected to the first rotary drive member 8 for rotational driving. The first slider is threadedly matched with the first rotary screw 10, and the inner end of the output guide rod 7 is connected to the first slider. The second adjustment component includes a second rotary drive member 11, a second rotary screw 12 and a second slider. The second rotary screw 12 is arranged in the height direction and is connected to the second rotary drive member 11 for rotational driving. The second slider is threadedly matched with the second rotary screw 12, and the inner end of the output guide rod 7 is connected to the second slider.

[0067] When the annular seam needs to be welded, the first rotating screw 10 can be driven to rotate axially by the first rotating driving member 8, so that the first slider slides on the first rotating screw 10 in the horizontal direction, and the output guide rod 7 extends outward or retracts from the strip hole in the horizontal direction under the drive of the first slider, so as to adjust the position of the welding gun 5 in the horizontal direction. Then, if the position of the welding gun 5 needs to be adjusted in the height direction, the second rotating screw 12 can be driven to rotate axially by the second rotating driving member 11, so that the second slider slides on the second rotating screw 12 in the height direction, so as to ensure that the output guide rod 7 moves in the strip hole in the height direction under the drive of the second slider, and finally adjust the welding gun 5 to the best position for welding the annular seam. Further, in the process of adjusting the position of the welding gun 5, the first slider can be driven to slide along the first rotating screw 10 first, and the second slider can be driven to slide along the second rotating screw 12 first, or the first slider and the second slider can be driven to slide at the same time to adjust the welding end position of the welding gun 5 until the best welding position is reached. It should be noted that guide rods are also provided on both sides of the first rotating screw 10 and the second rotating screw 12 to assist the first slider and the first rotating screw 10, and the second slider and the second rotating screw 12 to better slide and cooperate. Figure 2 As shown, a guide rod is arranged in parallel on both sides of the first rotating screw rod 10 and the second rotating screw rod 12 , and the first rotating screw rod 10 , the second rotating screw rod 12 and the guide rod are all connected to the welding box 6 .

[0068] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the third adjustment assembly 13 includes an adjustment bracket 131, a worm gear reducer 133 and a fourth rotation driving member 134 for driving the worm gear reducer 133 to rotate. One end of the adjustment bracket 131 is connected to the outer end of the output guide rod 7, and the other end is formed with a locking portion 132 for clamping the welding gun 5 in the circumferential direction. The worm gear reducer 133 is arranged on the adjustment bracket 131 and connected to the locking portion 132. The worm gear reducer 133 is used to drive the locking portion 132 to swing circumferentially to adjust the inclination angle of the welding gun 5, so that the welding gun 5 has a larger range of motion, can better approach the annular seam, and improve the welding effect of the welding gun 5. The adjustment bracket 131 includes a first adjustment plate and a second adjustment plate. The first adjustment plate is parallel to the side wall of the welding box 6 and one end is connected to the output guide rod 7. The other end is connected to a second adjustment plate arranged in the height direction and extending in the horizontal direction. The locking portion 132 and the worm gear reducer 133 are respectively located on both sides of the second adjustment plate. The locking part 132 includes a clamp and a locking screw. The clamp passes through the second adjustment plate and is connected to the worm gear reducer 133. The worm gear reducer 133 drives the clamp to swing circumferentially. The locking screw is inserted into the opening on the clamp to adjust the tightness of the clamp holding the welding gun 5, and the position of the clamp holding the welding gun 5 can be controlled by adjusting the locking screw.

[0069] In the embodiment of the utility model, the adjustment bracket 131 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the output guide rod, and the adjustment bracket 131 and the output guide rod 7 are detachably connected by a manual adjustment screw. The inclination angle of the adjustment bracket 131 can be adjusted by the manual adjustment screw, so that the welder 5 can be closer to the annular seam to improve the welding effect.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present utility model, a welding machine quick connection device is provided, and the welding machine quick connection device is used for quick connection of the welding machine as described above. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the inner wall of the annular track 4 is evenly spaced along the circumferential direction and is provided with a plurality of groups of elastic support components 16, which are used to support the annular track 4 and maintain a constant distance between the annular track 4 and the welding pipe 2. When the annular track 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the welding pipe 2, the elastic support components 16 abut against the outer wall of the welding pipe 2, playing the role of supporting the annular track 4. The welding box 6 may be provided with a power supply module and a controller, and the power supply module may be electrically connected to the driving mechanism 30 through a power supply quick connector, so as to realize the power supply from the welding machine to the welding machine quick connector, and the controller is electrically connected to the power supply module, and the controller may send an electrical signal to the driving mechanism 30 in a wireless or wired manner, and the controller may adopt an existing PLC controller.

[0071] like Figure 6As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, the elastic support assembly 16 includes an abutment block 17, a connection block 18 and an elastic member 19. The abutment block 17 abuts against the welding pipe 2 and has a through hole formed on the surface. The connection block 18 is arranged on the inner side wall of the annular track 4 and has a pin hole formed on the surface. The elastic member 19 is connected between the connection block 18 and the abutment block 17, so that the distance between the connection block 18 and the abutment block 17 can be adjusted. When the annular track 4 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the welding pipe 2 and the welding pipe 2 is welded, the abutment block 17 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the welding pipe 2. Since the distance between the abutment block 17 and the connection block 18 is adjustable, the annular track 4 can be adapted to the welding of welding pipes 2 of different diameters; in addition, the elastic member 19 also plays a certain buffering role to prevent the welding pipe 2 from directly applying force to the annular track 4 and damaging the pipe fittings.

[0072] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the connecting block 18 includes a radial portion and an axial portion connected in sequence, and the number of the elastic members 19 and the abutment blocks 17 on the side of the radial portion facing the welding pipe 2 can be two or more to increase the contact area with the welding pipe 2 and improve the buffering force.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the annular track 4 includes a first circular ring 20 and a second circular ring 21 arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the axial direction. The first circular ring 20 includes two first semicircular rings that are spliced ​​and clamped. The second circular ring 21 includes two second semicircular rings that are spliced ​​and clamped. The first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring have the same structure, and both have a clamping portion protruding outward at one end, and a groove that is plugged into the clamping portion at the other end.

[0074] A plurality of connecting blocks 18 are connected between the first circular ring 20 and the second circular ring 21 to enhance the structural strength of the circular track 4 .

[0075] In an embodiment of the utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the first ring 20 is formed with a walking track 201, the outer periphery of the welding box 6 is provided with a mounting bracket, and the driving mechanism 30 includes a walking gear 31, a third rotating driving member 33 and a guide wheel 32. The walking gear 31 is mounted on the mounting bracket and meshes with the walking track 201. The third rotating driving member 33 is coaxially driven and connected with the walking gear 31. The guide wheel 32 is mounted on the mounting bracket and guides and slides with the walking track 201. Among them, the first rotating driving member 8, the second rotating driving member 11, the third rotating driving member 33 and the fourth rotating driving member 134 are all rotating motors. In addition, when the welding box 6 walks on the walking track 201 of the first ring 20, since the outer diameter of the first ring 20 is greater than the outer diameter of the second ring 21, interference with the second ring 21 can be avoided. It should be noted that the mounting bracket is also provided with a quick connector 38, which is used to conveniently connect the welding box 6 to the mounting bracket, so as to ensure that the welding box 6 and the mounting bracket can be quickly matched and installed during the two-dimensional emergency repair of the welding pipeline, thereby improving the efficiency of the two-dimensional emergency repair of the welding pipeline. When the actual welding pipeline is laid, the circular track 4 can be reserved on the welding pipeline 2 at fixed intervals in advance. During the emergency repair process, only the lightweight adjustment mechanism 3 and the welding gun 5 need to be transported to the emergency repair site, and the quick connector 38 and the circular track 4 can be conveniently assembled for emergency repair.

[0076] Among them, a plurality of rollers are evenly spaced and arranged in the circumferential direction of the travel track 201, and a receiving space is formed between two adjacent rollers. The receiving space is used to accommodate the gear teeth of the travel gear 31, and the width of the receiving space is set in accordance with the gear teeth. Under the drive of the third rotating driving member 33, the travel gear 31 meshes and drives the mounting bracket to move circumferentially along the travel track 201, and the guide wheel 32 also slides and cooperates along the travel track 201 to play an auxiliary guiding role.

[0077] The utility model also provides a pipeline welding device (pipeline maintenance and emergency repair welding device), which includes the welding machine and the pipeline welding device as described above. Since the welding machine and the pipeline welding device adopt all the above embodiments, they also have all the beneficial effects brought by the pipeline welding device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] The welding gun in the utility model is slidably connected to the annular track through an adjustment mechanism. When the adjustment mechanism can move circumferentially along the welding pipe, it drives the welding gun to move circumferentially together, thereby adjusting the position of the welding gun so that the welding gun can weld the annular seam. The adjustment mechanism can adjust the position of the welding end of the welding gun, which is conducive to the welding gun to better weld the annular seam. The adjustment mechanism in the welding machine of the utility model can adjust the welding end of the welding gun to cooperate with the annular seam for welding, thereby realizing highly automated welding of the annular seam.

[0079] The welding machine of the utility model is composed of only an adjusting mechanism and a welding gun, and the driving components on large welding machines in the prior art can be omitted, so that the welding machine can be miniaturized and lightweight. When the welding pipeline needs to be repaired and the transportation in the repair environment is inconvenient, the repair personnel can quickly carry and transport the welding machine composed of only a welding gun and an adjusting mechanism, and the quick-connect part of the adjusting mechanism can be quickly connected with the circular track, so as to achieve a rapid response to the repair.

[0080] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
