[0038] Embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, which is an embodiment of the present utility model, proposes a swing welding device for a flotation machine casing frame, used for positioning the lower flange 19 and the main pipe 20. It includes a base 1, a positioning sleeve 2, and a tightening block 3. The positioning sleeve 2 is arranged on the base 1, and an annular slot 4 is opened on the positioning sleeve 2 for inserting the main pipe 20; the tightening block 3 is arranged on the base 1, and the number of tightening blocks 3 is at least two. All the tightening blocks 3 are arranged around the positioning sleeve 2, and a clamping cavity for the lower flange 19 is left between the tightening block 3 and the positioning sleeve 2.

[0039] The upper end surface of the positioning sleeve 2 is located above the base 1, and the annular slot 4 is located on the upper end surface of the positioning sleeve 2. During swing welding, the lower flange 19 is sleeved around the positioning sleeve 2 and clamped between all the tightening blocks 3. The lower end of the main pipe 20 is inserted into the annular slot 4. Since the distance between the bottom surface of the annular slot 4 on the positioning sleeve 2 and the upper end surface of the base 1 is fixed, the gap between the lower flange 19 and the main pipe 20 is fixed. Then, the upper end of the reinforcing rib plate 21 is welded to the main pipe 20, and the lower end of the reinforcing rib plate 21 is welded to the lower flange 19. The structure is simple, the design is reasonable, the operation is convenient and fast, time-saving and labor-saving, which can improve the processing efficiency, reduce the influence of human factors on the swing welding accuracy, and thus improve the swing welding accuracy.

[0040] In addition, when the inner diameter of the main pipe 20 is equal to the inner diameter of the annular slot 4 and the outer diameter of the main pipe 20 is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the annular slot 4, the inner wall of the main pipe 20 fits with the inner side wall of the annular slot 4, and the outer wall of the main pipe 20 fits with the outer side wall of the annular slot 4 or is located inside it; when the inner diameter of the main pipe 20 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the annular slot 4 and the outer diameter of the main pipe 20 is equal to the outer diameter of the annular slot 4, the inner wall of the main pipe 20 fits with the inner side wall of the annular slot 4 or is located outside it, and the outer wall of the main pipe 20 fits with the outer side wall of the annular slot 4. It has high versatility and can meet the swing welding requirements of different models of the main pipe 20.

[0041] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , mounting holes 8 are opened on the base 1, the positioning sleeve 2 is inserted at the mounting holes 8. It also includes a positioning shaft 5, a positioning convex ring 6, and an upper cushion block 7. The positioning shaft 5 is arranged on the base 1 and is located outside the mounting holes 8; the positioning convex ring 6 is arranged outside the positioning sleeve 2; the upper cushion block 7 is rotatably sleeved on the positioning shaft 5 and is located above the base 1. After the upper cushion block 7 rotates, it contacts the lower end surface of the positioning convex ring 6 for supporting the positioning convex ring 6.

[0042] At least two positioning shafts 5 are arranged around the installation hole 8. An upper cushion block 7 is rotatably sleeved on each positioning shaft 5. The positioning sleeve 2 is lifted, and the upper cushion block 7 is rotated so that the upper cushion block 7 contacts the lower end surface of the positioning convex ring 6, so that the positioning convex ring 6 and the positioning sleeve 2 can be maintained at the current height. When the distance between the lower flange 19 and the main pipe 20 is small, the upper cushion block 7 is rotated so that the upper cushion block 7 is separated from the positioning convex ring 6, and then the positioning sleeve 2 is lowered to the lowest position. It can meet the swing welding requirements of different specifications of casing frames.

[0043] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, an annular positioning groove 9 is formed on the upper end surface of the base 1. The annular positioning groove 9 is located around the installation hole 8. The inner diameter of the annular positioning groove 9 is equal to the diameter of the installation hole 8, the outer diameter of the annular positioning groove 9 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the positioning convex ring 6, and the positioning shaft 5 is located outside the annular positioning groove 9. When the upper cushion block 7 is separated from the positioning convex ring 6, the positioning convex ring 6 is placed in the annular positioning groove 9. At this time, the lower end surface of the positioning sleeve 2 is flush with or above the lower end surface of the base 1, which can prevent the positioning convex ring 6 from protruding above the base 1, and the appearance is more neat and beautiful.

[0044] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, it further includes a lower cushion block 10. The lower cushion block 10 is arranged at the bottom of the base 1 and is located around the installation hole 8. The distance between the bottom surface of the annular positioning groove 9 and the lower end surface of the lower cushion block 10 is L1, and the distance between the lower end surface of the positioning convex ring 6 and the bottom surface of the annular positioning groove 9 is L2, and L1≥L2. By arranging the lower cushion block 10, the height of the positioning sleeve 2 below the positioning convex ring 6 can be increased. When the upper cushion block 7 contacts the lower end surface of the positioning convex ring 6, the positioning sleeve 2 can be inserted into the installation hole 8 to play a limiting role. When the upper cushion block 7 is separated from the positioning convex ring 6, the positioning sleeve 2 can also be inserted into the installation hole 8 to play a limiting role. At this time, the lower end surface of the positioning sleeve 2 is flush with or above the lower end surface of the lower cushion block 10, and the stability is better.

[0045] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the number of the lower cushion blocks 10 is at least two, and all the lower cushion blocks 10 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the installation hole 8. The force on the base 1 is uniform and the stability is better. The number of the lower cushion blocks 10 is preferably three. On the premise of meeting the support requirements, the number of the lower cushion blocks 10 is reduced as much as possible, the structure is simpler, and the cost can be saved.

[0046] Further, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , it further includes a support base 11 and an adjusting rod 12. The support base 11 is arranged on the base 1 and is located outside the pressing block 3. The adjusting rod 12 is threadedly connected to the support base 11. The inner end of the adjusting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the pressing block 3. The outer end of the adjusting rod 12 is located outside the support base 11. After the adjusting rod 12 rotates, it drives the pressing block 3 to approach or move away from the positioning sleeve 2. By rotating the adjusting rod 12, the inner end of the adjusting rod 12 can approach or move away from the positioning sleeve 2, thereby driving the pressing block 3 to move synchronously closer to or away from the positioning sleeve 2. After the adjusting rod 12 stops rotating, the pressing block 3 can stay at the required position without moving. The structure is simple, the adjustment is convenient, fast, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0047] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 it further includes a slider 13. A sliding groove 14 is formed on the upper end surface of the base 1. The pressing block 3 is located above the sliding groove 14. The slider 13 is arranged at the bottom of the pressing block 3 and forms a sliding fit with the sliding groove 14. During the movement of the pressing block 3, the slider 13 slides along the sliding groove 14, which can play a role of guiding and limiting to prevent the slider 13 from shifting.

[0048] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 it further includes an annular positioning line 15. The positioning line 15 is arranged on the upper end surface of the base 1. The number of the positioning lines 15 is at least two, and all the positioning lines 15 are coaxially arranged with the positioning sleeve 2. Each positioning line 15 corresponds to a lower flange 19 with a specific outer diameter. When adjusting the pressing block 3, it only needs to align the pressing block 3 with the corresponding positioning line 15, which can better ensure the coaxial arrangement of the lower flange 19 and the positioning sleeve 2.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 it further includes a lifting ring 16. The lifting ring 16 is arranged on the base 1. The two lifting rings 16 are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the positioning sleeve 2, which is convenient for flipping, adjusting the height and carrying the swing welding device by using the lifting rings 16.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, an air duct flange marking hole 17 and a chemical dosing flange marking hole 18 are provided on the base 1. The air duct flange marking hole 17 and the chemical dosing flange marking hole 18 are both located outside the positioning sleeve 2 and are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the positioning sleeve 2. An air duct flange 22 and a chemical dosing flange 23 are provided on the side wall at the upper end of the main pipe 20, and an upper flange 24 is provided at the top of the main pipe 20. The clamping between the center point of the air duct flange marking hole 17, the center point of the positioning sleeve 2 and the center point of the chemical dosing flange marking hole 18 is α, and the included angle α corresponds to the included angle between the axis of the air duct flange 22 and the axis of the chemical dosing flange 23. During swing welding, make the axis of the air duct flange 22 pass through the center point of the air duct flange marking hole 17 and the axis of the chemical dosing flange 23 pass through the center point of the chemical dosing flange marking hole 18, then the included angle between the axis of the air duct flange 22 and the axis of the chemical dosing flange 23 can reach the required size. As Figure 7 shown, the four air duct flange marking holes 17 and the four chemical dosing flange marking holes 18 correspond to four different included angles α. During swing welding, select the corresponding air duct flange marking hole 17 and chemical dosing flange marking hole 18 as a reference according to the included angle between the axis of the air duct flange 22 and the axis of the chemical dosing flange 23.
