Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary tools for steam turbines, and particularly relates to a welding tool for steam turbine pipelines. Background Art
[0002] Steam turbine pipelines are complex. Many pipelines need to be separately manufactured and then welded together for convenient installation. However, during welding, misalignment is likely to occur. High-pressure fluids flow inside the pipelines. Even a small misalignment will generate a large amount of turbulence, resulting in an increase in flow resistance. Therefore, generally, a tooling is needed for fixation during welding. After that, several points are welded first for positioning. Since it is welding pipelines, if the acting force of an ordinary tooling is too large, it will cause deformation of the pipelines, affecting the fluid flow, especially having a greater impact on high-speed flowing fluids, generating local turbulence, increasing the flow resistance, and reducing the working efficiency of the steam turbine. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an optimized welding tool for steam turbine pipelines.
[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is realized as follows: A welding tool for steam turbine pipelines includes a clamping part, an upper semi-circular pipe part, and a lower semi-circular pipe part. The clamping part includes a locking part, an upper clamping part, and a lower clamping part. The upper semi-circular pipe part is fixed to the upper clamping part, and the lower semi-circular pipe part is fixed to the lower clamping part. The inner wall of the upper semi-circular pipe part is a semi-cylindrical surface or close to a semi-cylindrical surface, and the inner wall of the lower semi-circular pipe is a semi-cylindrical surface or close to a semi-cylindrical surface. When the upper clamping part and the lower clamping part are locked in a certain position by the locking part, the inner walls of the upper semi-circular pipe part and the lower semi-circular pipe part are in the same cylindrical surface or close to the same cylindrical surface.
[0005] The beneficial effect of such a design is: It can ensure that the steam turbine pipeline does not deform while maintaining sufficient clamping force, which can not only avoid the relative movement or rotation of the steam turbine pipeline during welding, but also avoid the deformation of the steam turbine pipeline during welding. In this way, the welded steam turbine pipeline is flatter, has less flow resistance, and reduces the impact on the working efficiency of the steam turbine.
[0006] Furthermore, the upper semi-circular pipe includes a left upper semi-circular pipe and a right upper semi-circular pipe, and the lower semi-circular pipe part includes a right lower semi-circular pipe part and a left lower semi-circular pipe part. There is a first gap between the left upper semi-circular pipe and the right upper semi-circular pipe, and there is a second gap between the left lower semi-circular pipe part and the right lower semi-circular pipe part. In this way, spot welding can be performed at the positions of the first gap and the second gap. Adjusting the locking part can make the whole tooling rotate relative to the steam turbine pipeline, so that spot welding can be performed at different positions.
[0007] Further, the inner wall of the upper semi-circular pipe portion includes a left upper semi-conical surface and a right upper semi-conical surface. The radius of the left upper semi-conical surface and the right upper semi-conical surface near the center is greater than that of the outer side. The inner wall of the lower semi-circular pipe portion includes a left lower semi-conical surface and a right lower semi-conical surface. The radius of the left lower semi-conical surface and the right lower semi-conical surface near the center is greater than that of the outer side. When welding on the outer side, the temperature is relatively low and deformation is not likely to occur, so the radius can be reduced to increase the clamping force. The temperature at the center position is high and it is prone to thermal expansion, so a larger margin is left.
[0008] Further, the upper clamping portion is provided with an upper clamping piece, and the lower clamping portion is provided with a lower clamping piece. The upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are sheet-shaped. The upper semi-circular pipe portion is fixed at the end of the upper clamping piece, and the lower semi-circular pipe portion is fixed at the end of the lower clamping piece. The sheet structure has a certain elasticity and is not likely to cause deformation of the steam turbine pipeline due to excessive clamping force, that is, the magnitude of the clamping force is more controllable, avoiding the situation of excessive or too small clamping force.
[0009] Further, the first sections of the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are hinged together, which is convenient for installation and manufacturing.
[0010] Further, the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece are of an integral structure, so the manufacturing cost is relatively low.
[0011] Further, locking screws are provided at the middle positions of the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece, which is convenient for locking the upper clamping piece and the lower clamping piece.
[0012] Further, a upper semi-circular notch is provided at the lower end of the middle position of the upper semi-circular pipe portion, and a lower semi-circular notch is provided at the upper end of the middle position of the lower semi-circular pipe portion. The upper semi-circular notch and the lower semi-circular notch form the same welding notch for welding, so that there is a large welding space to avoid the tooling being melted and welded to the steam turbine pipeline.
[0013] Further, the lower end of the inner side of the upper semi-circular pipe portion abuts against the upper end of the inner side of the lower semi-circular pipe portion, which can avoid excessive clamping force squeezing the steam turbine pipeline and causing deformation of the steam turbine pipeline, especially not excessively squeezing the steam turbine pipeline even under high-temperature conditions.
[0014] Further, an inclined surface is provided at the upper end of the outer side of the lower semi-circular pipe portion, which can reduce the adhesion of welding slag splashes to the tooling. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
