[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a vertical tank cone forming tool, comprising a mounting platform 10, a suspension arm 20 and a small head support mold 30, wherein the mounting platform 10 is provided with a circular mounting channel for placing a cone 40, and allowing the lower part of the cone 40 to sink into the mounting channel, thereby facilitating the welding and fixing of a small head 50 at the bottom end of the cone 40;

[0027] The boom 20 is connected with a lifting rope 21 for lifting the cone 40 to the installation platform 10, and making the lower part of the cone 40 located in the installation channel, and the boom 20 is connected with a vertical telescopic element 22 adjacent to the lifting rope 21, wherein the telescopic axis of the vertical telescopic element 22 is located at the bottom;

[0028] The boom 20 may also be referred to as a crane arm or a jib, and is mainly used to support and lift heavier objects to a certain height or to move them at high altitudes;

[0029] The small head support mold 30 is located directly below the installation channel, and a groove 301 suitable for accommodating the small head 50 is provided on the top of the small head support mold 30. An elastic telescopic mechanism 60 is connected to the bottom of the small head support mold 30 to generate a vertical displacement space when the vertical telescopic element 22 presses down the small head 50 on the small head support mold 30 through the cavity of the cone 40.

[0030] During the installation process, the cone 40 is first lifted onto the installation platform 10 by the crane arm 20, and the lower part of the cone 40 is sunk into the installation channel. The cone 40 can be supported and positioned by the installation platform 10 and the installation channel. Then, the small end cap 50 is manually placed into the cavity of the cone 40, and the small end cap 50 falls into the groove 301 of the small end cap support mold 30. The small end cap 50 can be moved up and down by means of the elastic telescopic mechanism 60 at the bottom of the small end cap support mold 301. Finally, the vertical telescopic element 22 is activated to move in the cavity of the cone 40. The small head 50 is pressed down in the cavity to a predetermined position so that the small head 50 is moved into place. At this time, spot welding can be directly performed to fix it, thereby completing the precise assembly of the small head 50. The work efficiency is greatly improved, and can be reduced from the original 1.5 hours to about 0.5 hours. At the same time, the problem of high manpower consumption is solved by the boom 20 and the vertical telescopic element 22, and the overall labor intensity is reduced. In addition, the installation platform 10 and the small head support mold 30 are used to ensure the assembly quality of the small head 50 at the bottom of the cone 40, and the positioning accuracy is high.

[0031] Generally, the lifting rope 21 has good flexibility, and the lifting rope 21 and the vertical telescopic element 22 can be installed at the same position. After the lifting rope 21 lifts the cone 40, the lifting rope 21 can be put aside, and then the vertical telescopic element 22 can be activated.

[0032] In one embodiment, the vertical telescopic element 22 is implemented as a vertical hydraulic cylinder. A profiling punch 23 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic shaft of the vertical telescopic element 22, and the profiling punch 23 is adapted to the inner notch of the small end cap 50, so that the contact area between the vertical telescopic element 22 and the small end cap 50 can be increased by the profiling punch 23, so that the vertical telescopic element 22 can press down the small end cap more stably and accurately, and the small end cap 50 will not be deflected, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the small end cap 50.

[0033] In one embodiment, the elastic telescopic mechanism 60 includes a base 61, a spring 62, a guide column 63 and a sleeve 64, wherein the base 61 is located directly below the small end mold 30, and the guide column 63 is vertically connected to the top of the base 61, wherein the sleeve 64 is vertically connected to the bottom of the small end mold 30, and is sleeved on the guide column 63 in a sliding manner, so as to play a guiding role in the process of the small end mold 30 moving up and down, ensuring that the positions of the small end mold 50 and the small end mold 30 are not deflected, thereby ensuring that the small end mold 50 and the small end mold 30 are not deflected. The positioning accuracy of the head 50, wherein the spring 62 is elastically connected between the small head support mold 30 and the base 61, and is sleeved on the sleeve 64, thereby being able to generate an elastic deformation stroke during the up and down movement of the small head support mold 30 and the sleeve 64, so that the small head 50 and the small head support mold 30 can be pressed down to a certain height, thereby completing the assembly and molding of the small head 50 and the cone 40, and at the same time, the small head support mold 30 can be rebounded after the vertical telescopic element 22 is retracted, so that it moves upward to a certain height, thereby facilitating the small head support mold 30 to receive the new small head 50.

[0034] Since the cone 40 has a large deadweight, although the positioning accuracy of the cone 40 can be ensured by relying on its deadweight, it is impossible to ensure that the cone 40 will not be deflected during the welding process. In order to further ensure the positioning accuracy of the cone 40, in one embodiment, at least three horizontal telescopic elements 11 are installed on the top of the mounting platform 10, wherein at least three of the horizontal telescopic elements 11 are evenly distributed along the outer side of the mounting channel, and the telescopic ends of the horizontal telescopic elements 11 are all facing the center of the mounting channel, so that they can be simultaneously limited at different points on the lower part of the cone 40, thereby circumferentially limiting the cone 40 to ensure that the cone 40 always remains in a vertically extended state, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the cone 40 and the small head 50.

[0035] Further preferably, the number of the horizontal telescopic elements 11 is four. The horizontal telescopic elements 11 are implemented as horizontal hydraulic cylinders.

[0036] Further preferably, the telescopic end of the horizontal telescopic element 11 is fixedly connected to a limiting mold 12. The inner side of the limiting mold 12 has a curvature that matches the surface of the cone 40, so that the limiting molds 12 on the four horizontal telescopic elements 11 can cooperate with each other at the lower part of the cone 40 to form a circular limiting space, so that the limiting mold 12 can form a larger limiting contact area for the cone 40, the limiting is more stable, and the positioning accuracy of the cone 40 can be further ensured on the basis of the limiting of the installation channel.

[0037] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.
