Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a matching tool, in particular to a matching tool for small-gap pipe rows. Background Art
[0002] The existing thermal power unit boiler has a small gap in the internal superheater tube row and insufficient space. As a result, the weld joints often have misalignment and discounts during the tube row maintenance and replacement welding process. It cannot meet the quality requirements of the welding process. The existing matching tools on the market are relatively large in size and are only used for positions with large spaces for single pipes. They cannot be used in the case of small gaps on the heating surface tube rows. The use of matching calipers requires that the tube row gap or the pipe periphery must be more than 40mm before it can be used. It cannot be used when the gap between the tube rows on the heating surface of the boiler is only 10mm. The matching pliers use the lever principle to connect the pliers on both sides through an axle pin, and the gap at the axle pin connection will directly affect the misalignment of the pipe weld. The excessive axle pin gap leads to an increase in the misalignment of the matching, and the too small gap affects the flexible use of the matching pliers. In summary, the matching pliers cannot meet the matching welding maintenance work during the maintenance and replacement of the small gap tube row on the heating surface of the boiler.

[0005] Furthermore, the driving structure connected to the upper end of the screw rod comprises a fixed sleeve and a ratchet wrench, the fixed sleeve is fixed to the upper end of the screw rod, and the ratchet wrench cooperates with the fixed sleeve.
[0006] Furthermore, the angle steel is installed in a direction with one side at a right angle facing downward, and the upper side is connected to the lower end of the screw rod through a bearing.

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0018] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a tool for matching small gap pipe rows includes a ratchet wrench 1, a fixed sleeve 2, a screw rod 3, a square steel 4, a semicircular arc groove 5, a wire rope 6, a wire rope lock 7, a bearing 8, and an angle steel 9. The square steel 4 is provided with a threaded hole, and the screw rod 3 passes through the threaded hole on the square steel 4. The upper end of the screw rod 3 is fixedly connected with a fixed sleeve 2, and the fixed sleeve 2 cooperates with the ratchet wrench 1. The screw rod 3 is rotated by the ratchet wrench 1, and then the screw rod 3 is relatively moved with the square steel 4 in the axial direction. The lower end of the screw rod 3 is connected to the angle steel 9 through the bearing 8, and the right-angled side of the angle steel 9 is downward, so that when the angle steel 9 is close to the pipe 10 to be matched, the angle steel 9 will not rotate with the screw rod 3, and at the same time, the two right-angled sides of the angle steel 9 can ensure that the two pipes 10 to be matched are coaxial, avoiding the occurrence of misalignment and stop.
[0020] Two wire rope locks 7 are arranged on the square steel 4, and both ends of the wire rope 6 are fixedly connected to the two wire rope locks 7 respectively. A semicircular arc groove 5 is arranged on one side of the square steel 4, and the wire rope 6 is hung on the semicircular arc groove 5 so that two U-shaped structures are formed when the wire rope 6 droops naturally. The angle steel 9 passes through the two U-shaped structures formed by the wire rope 6.
[0021] When the docking operation is required, the two pipes 10 to be docked are respectively passed through the two U-shaped structures formed by the steel wire rope 6, and then the ratchet wrench 1 is operated to move the angle steel 9 downward, and the steel wire rope 6 provides an upward reaction force to the pipes 10 to be docked, so that the angle steel 9 is close to the pipes 10 to be docked, ensuring that the two pipes 10 to be docked are coaxial. Since the diameter of the steel wire rope 6 is small, it can adapt to the situation where the spacing between the pipes is small, solving the problem of no tools available for docking when the gap between the pipes inside the boiler is small.
[0022] The above embodiments describe the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. The technicians in this industry should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the changes and modifications made by the technicians in this field shall be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
