[0002] In the LNG liquefied natural gas industry, cryogenic pump pools are one of the core facilities for storing and transporting LNG. These pump pools usually contain complex pipeline systems and pump body structures. Among them, the pump pool bottom plate is a key component for supporting and installing the pump body and pipelines. The manufacturing and installation processes of the pump pool bottom plate are crucial for the overall performance and safety of the pump pool. Traditional toolings for LNG cryogenic pump pool bottom plates are often relatively simple in design, and mostly adopt fixed or manually adjustable installation methods. These methods have many inconveniences during the welding, assembly, and debugging processes of the pump pool bottom plate. First of all, the fixed tooling cannot adapt to the welding requirements of the pump pool bottom plate at different angles and positions, resulting in low welding efficiency and difficult-to-guarantee quality. Secondly, although the manually adjustable tooling can solve the angle adjustment problem to a certain extent, it is complex to operate, has a large labor intensity, and has potential safety hazards.

[0003] In the prior art, the old version of the tooling is equivalent to a frame, which requires welders to rotate along with the welding progress, affecting the welding progress and increasing energy and labor consumption. Content of the Utility Model

The reinforcing plate 12 and the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 are integrally formed, and the edges of the surface of the reinforcing plate 12 are rounded. By adding the reinforcing plate 12 to the top surface of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4, the surface of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 is secondarily reinforced through the reinforcing plate 12, maintaining the stability of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4, preventing deformation during welding, and increasing stability, compressive resistance, and pressure resistance.

[0027] Other limiting structures of the entire device are as follows: Multiple groups of support channel steels 3 are circumferentially distributed. A movable universal wheel 1 is bolted to the bottom surface of the end of the support channel steel 3 away from the center position. The bearing mounting plate 5 is connected to the surfaces of the pump pool bottom plate working part and the support channel steel 3 by bolts. Adjacent bearing mounting plates 5 are of the same size, and the vertical center lines of adjacent bearing mounting plates 5 coincide with each other. The support channel steel 3 stably supports the entire pump pool bottom plate tooling 4, and the position of the entire device can be moved through the movable universal wheel 1 provided at the bottom. The output shaft of the drive motor 8 is connected to the center position of the bottom surface of the drive gear 11. The bottom surface of the drive motor 8 is provided with a motor mounting seat 13, and the edge of the motor mounting seat 13 is connected to the surface of the support channel steel 3 by bolts.

Specific Embodiment Two:

[0030] Refer to Figures 1-4 , and further disclose the following technical content based on the content in the above specific embodiment:

[0031] When performing the welding work of the LNG cryogenic pump pool bottom plate tooling 4, the entire process can be divided into several key steps: the preparation stage, installation and positioning, welding operation, rotation adjustment, and re-welding, which are as follows:

[0032] Preparation stage: Check whether the connection relationships of all components of the entire device correspond, whether the installation positions are correct. The connections of the drive motor 8, the central gear 10, and the drive gear 11 need to be accurate. Conduct a preliminary debugging of the drive motor 8 through the remote control main body 2 and the motor controller 9, and check whether its rotation direction and speed adjustment functions are normal;

[0033] Placement tooling: Place the assembled pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 on a flat workbench or the ground, ensuring that the support channel steel 3 is stable and does not shake. If welding is required at specific positions, fixtures or pressing plates can be used to fix the tooling on the workbench to prevent displacement during the welding process;

[0034] Welding operation: Start the preliminary welding work on the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4. According to the welding drawings or process requirements, weld at positions that do not require rotation. During the welding process, continuously monitor the welding quality to ensure that the welds are uniform, free of pores, cracks and other defects;

[0035] Rotation adjustment and re-welding: Start the drive motor 8 through the remote control. The drive gear 11 drives the central gear 10 to rotate, and then the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 starts to rotate through the guide bearing 6. According to the parts to be welded and the welding process requirements, adjust the speed of the drive motor 8 through the remote control to achieve the best welding angle and speed;

[0036] Continue welding: After the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 rotates to the specified position, stop the drive motor 8 and carry out the welding work at this position. Repeat this process until all the parts that need to be welded are completed;

[0037] Welding completion and inspection: After all the welding work is completed, turn off the drive motor 8 through the remote control to stop the rotation of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4;

[0038] Inspect the welds: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the welds to ensure that the welding quality meets the design requirements and there are no missed welds, false welds and other phenomena.

[0039] Clean up the site: Clean up the work site, put the tools and equipment in place, and keep the work environment clean.

[0040] For the control and adjustment of the drive motor 8, it is mainly achieved through the remote control and the motor controller 9:

[0041] Remote control operation: The remote control is usually equipped with control elements such as start / stop buttons, speed adjustment knobs or buttons. The operator can start the drive motor 8 by pressing the start button, adjust the speed of the motor by rotating the speed adjustment knob or button, and when the welding is completed or a pause is needed, press the stop button to stop the motor;

[0042] Motor controller 9: The motor controller 9 is a key device connecting the remote control and the drive motor 8. It receives the command signal sent by the remote control and converts it into a control signal that the drive motor 8 can recognize. At the same time, the motor controller 9 also has safety functions such as overload protection and short-circuit protection to ensure the safe and stable operation of the motor during operation.

[0043] Through the cooperation of the above steps and equipment, the efficient and precise welding work of the LNG cryogenic pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 can be achieved, and the work efficiency and welding quality can be greatly improved.

[0044] In summary:

[0045] 1. The bottom surface of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 is connected to the central gear 10 through the bearing mounting plate 5 and the guiding bearing 6. The driving gear 11 meshing with the central gear 10 rotates under the drive of the driving motor 8, thereby driving the central gear 10 to rotate. The guiding bearing 6 drives the entire pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 to rotate, enabling the entire pump pool bottom plate work to rotate automatically during welding. By controlling the opening, closing, and rotation speed of the driving motor 8, the direction and speed of the entire pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 can be automatically controlled, facilitating the welding process on the working surface of the pump pool bottom plate for the operator. It is simple, convenient, easy to operate and control, avoiding the cumbersome operation of manual position movement. The structure is in the southeast direction and is easy to control and operate.

[0046] 2. The support channel steel 3 is used to stably support the entire pump pool bottom plate tooling 4, and the position of the entire device can be moved through the mobile universal wheels 1 installed at the bottom. The reinforcing plate 12 is added to the top surface of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 to reinforce the surface of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 for the second time, maintaining the stability of the pump pool bottom plate tooling 4 and preventing deformation during welding, thereby increasing stability, compressive strength, and pressure resistance.
