Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valve clamping, and particularly relates to a clamping device for valve welding. Background Art

[0002] A valve is a device used to control the flow direction, flow rate, and pressure of fluids (liquids, gases, etc.) and is very common in various industrial applications; valve welding is an important technology in the process of manufacturing or repairing valves; before valve welding, it is necessary to clamp the valve to ensure its stability during the welding process.

[0003] Chinese Patent with publication number CN219465255U discloses a clamping structure for valve welding and processing, including a workbench and a first mounting frame fixedly connected to the top of the workbench. An adjusting mechanism extending into the first mounting frame is arranged on the top of the workbench, and a clamping mechanism is arranged on the top of the first mounting frame. The adjusting mechanism includes a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the workbench. A bidirectional adjusting lead screw extending into the first mounting frame is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. A first thread sleeve is externally threadedly connected to the bidirectional adjusting lead screw, and a sliding block extending to the top of the first mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the first thread sleeve. This technology drives the bidirectional adjusting lead screw to rotate by setting the first motor, and then drives the first thread sleeve and the support frame to displace through the rotation of the bidirectional adjusting lead screw, so that the two clamping mechanisms displace relatively or towards each other, so as to adjust the distance between the clamping plates according to the needs of the staff.

[0004] However, it is found in actual use that when this clamping structure clamps the valve, the two ends of the valve are clamped by the two clamping plates moving towards each other. However, it is difficult to automatically position the valve during the clamping process, and the worker needs to hold the valve by hand until the two clamping plates clamp the two ends of the valve. This results in the worker needing to hold the valve for a period of time. During the batch valve welding and processing, each valve needs to be clamped, and the labor intensity of the worker is relatively high. Therefore, this clamping structure still needs to be improved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a clamping device for valve welding aiming at the above existing technical problems. This clamping device can first preliminarily position the valve and then clamp the valve, with relatively low labor intensity for the worker.

[0006] In view of this, the utility model provides a clamping device for valve welding, including:

[0007] A base, on which a fixed seat is provided, and a split seat that can approach and move away from the fixed seat is provided on one side of the fixed seat;

[0008] The movable plate is slidably arranged on the fixed seat along the clamping direction. A clamping head is provided at one end of the movable plate close to the split seat, and a clamping head is also provided on the side wall of the split seat close to the fixed seat.

[0009] The locking assembly is used to lock or release the movable plate and the fixed seat. In the locked state, the movable plate cannot slide relative to the fixed seat, and in the released state, the movable plate can slide relative to the fixed seat.

[0010] The positioning seat is arranged between the fixed seat and the split seat, and the valve to be processed can be placed on the positioning seat.

[0011] In this technical solution, first place the valve to be processed on the positioning seat, control the locking assembly to adjust the movable plate to the released state, slide the movable plate relative to the fixed seat so that the clamping head on the movable plate first clamps one end of the valve to achieve the preliminary positioning of the valve, then control the locking assembly to adjust the movable plate to the locked state, and then control the split seat to approach the fixed seat and make the clamping head on the split seat clamp the other end of the valve to complete the clamping of the valve.

[0012] In the above technical solution, further, a limiting through groove is opened on the fixed seat along the clamping direction, and the movable plate is slidably connected with the limiting through groove.

[0013] In the above technical solution, further, the locking assembly includes:

[0014] A plurality of locking grooves are spaced along the length direction of the movable plate and opened on the movable plate;

[0015] The fixing plate is arranged on the fixed seat;

[0016] The locking seat is arranged on the side of the fixing plate close to the locking groove. A plurality of locking blocks are provided on the locking seat, and the locking blocks can be inserted into the locking grooves. The plurality of locking blocks and these locking grooves are distributed at the same interval;

[0017] The locking cylinder is arranged on the fixing plate and is used to drive the locking seat to approach and move away from the locking groove.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the positioning seat includes a mounting seat, a lifting seat, and a lifting member. The mounting seat is arranged on the base, the lifting seat is arranged above the mounting seat, and the lifting seat and the mounting seat are connected by the lifting member. The lifting member can adjust the vertical position of the lifting seat relative to the mounting seat.

[0019] In the above technical solution, further, a positioning strip is provided on the upper surface of the lifting seat.

[0020] In the above technical solution, further, a translation groove is opened on the base, the lower end of the split seat is slidably arranged in the translation groove, and a push member for driving the split seat to approach and move away from the fixed seat is arranged in the translation groove.

[0021] In the above technical solution, further, the pushing member includes a screw rod and a hand wheel. The screw rod is horizontally rotatably arranged in the translation groove. One end of the screw rod penetrates through the side wall of the translation groove and extends to the outside of the base, and a hand wheel is connected to the end of the screw rod. A threaded hole threadedly connected to the screw rod is opened at the lower end of the split seat.

[0022] In the above technical solution, further, the clamping head includes a C-shaped frame body, a clamping plate, and a clamping cylinder. The clamping plate is movably arranged in the C-shaped frame body, and the clamping cylinder is arranged on the C-shaped frame body for driving the clamping plate to approach and move away from one side wall of the C-shaped frame body.

[0025] 2. By designing the locking assembly as the cooperation of multiple locking grooves, a fixing plate, a locking seat, multiple locking blocks, and a locking cylinder, when the multiple locking blocks are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves, the movable plate can be locked. When the locking blocks are withdrawn from the locking grooves, the movable plate can be released.

A translation groove 801 is formed on the base 1, and the lower end of the split base 3 is slidably arranged in the translation groove 801. A flat push member for driving the split base 3 to approach and move away from the fixing base 2 is arranged in the translation groove 801;

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , the flat push member includes a screw rod 802 and a hand wheel 803. The length direction of the screw rod 802 is the same as the sliding direction of the split base 3. The screw rod 802 is horizontally rotatably arranged in the translation groove 801 along the circumferential direction. One end of the screw rod 802 penetrates through the side wall of the translation groove 801 and extends to the outside of the base 1, and the hand wheel 803 is connected to the end of the screw rod 802. A threaded hole 804 threadedly connected to the screw rod 802 is formed at the lower end of the split base 3. When a worker applies a rotational force in the circumferential direction to the hand wheel 803, the screw rod 802 can be driven to rotate. During the rotation of the screw rod 802, the split base 3 is driven to horizontally move in the translation groove 801 to approach or move away from the fixing base 2 through the cooperation with the threaded hole 804.

[0043] The positioning seat 7 is arranged between the fixing base 2 and the split base 3, and the valve to be processed can be placed on the positioning seat 7;

[0044] In this embodiment, first, the valve to be processed is placed on the positioning seat 7. The locking assembly 6 is controlled to adjust the movable plate 4 to the released state. The movable plate 4 is slid relative to the fixing base 2 so that the clamping head 5 on the movable plate 4 first clamps one end of the valve to realize the preliminary positioning of the valve. Then, the locking assembly 6 is controlled to adjust the movable plate 4 to the locked state. Next, the split base 3 is controlled to approach the fixing base 2, and the clamping head 5 on the split base 3 clamps the other end of the valve to complete the clamping of the valve. In this way, the labor intensity of workers can be reduced, the burden on workers can be alleviated, and thus the processing efficiency of the valve can be improved.
