Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel tank welding auxiliary equipment, and particularly relates to a welding device for a fuel tank. Background Technique

[0002] A fuel tank, that is, a container device for storing fuel, is generally used on machines driven by gasoline engines or diesel engines. Storing fuel is the most basic function of a fuel tank. In addition, it also plays functions such as heat dissipation, sedimentation of impurities in the fuel, and separation of air bubbles in the oil body. For example Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a fuel tank for a heavy rail vehicle includes a main box body A with an upward opening. At the front and rear ends of the outer side of the left side plate A-3 of the main box body A and the front and rear ends of the outer side of the right side plate A-4, there are respectively welded and fixed with an installation foot B. On the bottom plate of the installation foot B, three first installation holes B-1 are spaced apart from the outer edge away from the main box body A. Inside the cavity of the main box body A, a transverse partition G is welded and fixed on the front side. Both the left and right ends of the transverse partition G extend outside the main box body A, and the right end of the transverse partition G extending outside the right side plate A-4 forms an L-shaped step G-1. On the outer side of the left end of the rear side plate A-2 of the main box body A, an oil pillow C is welded. On the outer side of the rear end of the left side plate A-3 of the main box body A, a secondary oil storage cavity D is also welded and fixed. The installation foot B corresponding to the rear end of the left side plate A-3 is welded and fixed on the left outer wall surface of the secondary oil storage cavity D. Outside the right rear corner position of the main box body A, there is an L-shaped first oil pipeline E, and outside the right front corner position, there is an L-shaped second oil pipeline F. The flange E-1 at the rear end of the L-shaped first oil pipeline E is welded and fixed on the upper side of the right end of the outer side of the rear side plate A-2 through a first support plate K. On the outer side of the rear end of the right side plate A-4, an L-shaped vertical plate A-4a is vertically welded and fixed. In the middle of the outer side of the right side plate A-4, a horizontal support plate H is welded. The flange E-2 at the front end of the L-shaped first oil pipeline E is welded and fixed on the right-angle edge surface of the L-shaped vertical plate A-4a. The front end of the L-shaped second oil pipeline F penetrates and is welded and fixed on the front end of the right side plate A-4. The flange F-1 at the rear end of the L-shaped second oil pipeline F is welded and fixed on the right-angle edge surface of the L-shaped step G-1. On the outer side of the right end of the front side plate A-1, two right-angle plates L are welded and fixed from top to bottom. Between the two mutually perpendicular arm plates of the right-angle plate L, a horizontal rib plate L-1 is welded and fixed. It also includes an L-shaped third oil pipeline M welded and fixed on the lower side of the outer side of the rear side plate A-2. The left end of the L-shaped third oil pipeline M penetrates and is welded and fixed on the lower side of the outer side of the rear side plate A-2. The flange plate M-1 at the right end of the L-shaped third oil pipeline M is vertically welded and fixed on the lower side of the right end of the outer side of the rear side plate A-2. On the lower side of the middle of the outer side of the left side plate A-3, a pair of second support plates J-1 are horizontally and vertically welded and fixed in the front-rear direction. At the ends of the pair of second support plates J-1, a connecting vertical plate J is welded and fixed in the horizontal direction. Along the length direction of the connecting vertical plate J, a number of third installation holes J-2 are spaced apart. A number of second installation holes are opened on the flange E-1, flange E-2, flange F-1, and flange plate M-1. There is a fourth installation hole on the horizontal support plate H. There are fifth installation holes on the arm plate of the right-angle plate L in the front-rear direction.Since the fuel tank has high requirements for the weld sealing performance, and the fuel tank with this structure is large in volume, involves many components, and has complex welding positions, the following problems exist in the traditional manual splicing and welding method: (1) The alignment accuracy of each component is poor, resulting in a large deviation in the overall dimensions of the fuel tank after welding, and in severe cases, it is even difficult to meet the requirements of the drawing dimensions and geometric tolerances; (2) The weld sealing performance requirements are high, and the welding time for each component is relatively long, resulting in a large overall deformation of the fuel tank after welding; (3) There are requirements for the welding direction for the first L-shaped oil pipe, the second L-shaped oil pipe, the third L-shaped oil pipe, and the connecting vertical plate. If the operator is slightly careless, the positions of the first L-shaped oil pipe and the second L-shaped oil pipe will be welded in reverse, and the directions of the third L-shaped oil pipe and the connecting vertical plate will be welded in reverse, resulting in the unqualified finished fuel tank and the need for rework and repair, which easily leads to product rework and scrapping; (4) There are many components involved, and workers need to splice each component in place before welding. The workload is large and the welding efficiency is not high, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale shipments. Therefore, it is necessary to specifically design a welding device for fuel tanks in order to improve the welding efficiency and product quality of fuel tanks. Summary of the Invention
