AI Technical Summary
The welding pass rate of existing fully welded ball valves is not high and the production efficiency is low. It is mainly due to the instability of welding due to manual feeling control of the compression force.
Using pneumatic tooling, the ball valve is clamped with the first rotating jaw and the second rotating jaw. The cylinder drives the second rotating jaw to move along the linear guide rail. Combined with the precision pressure reducing valve, the cylinder compressed air pressure is set to ensure stable compression force and realize automated control.
The welding pass rate and production efficiency of fully welded ball valves are improved, sealing performance and opening flexibility are ensured, and uncertainty in manual operation is reduced.

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of machinery, in particular to a welding tooling, and especially to a pneumatic tooling for assembling a fully welded ball valve. Background Art
[0002] Fully welded ball valves are often used in thermal pipe networks, gas pipelines and water supply and drainage pipelines. Since the valve forming adopts welding technology, which involves high-temperature deformation and non-disassembly after welding, etc., it is required that the valve has good sealing performance and flexible opening after group welding. Therefore, the assembly technology requirements for fully welded ball valves are high. In the prior art, bolts are used to press the flange to control the overall length and pressing force of the valve, and it is done by the worker's feeling. In this way, the unqualified rate of the fully welded ball valve assembled by welding is high, and it is often necessary to cut the welding joint and rework, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

A first rolling bearing is arranged in the first bearing seat. A first rotating jaw is arranged in the first rolling bearing. A positioning hole is arranged in the end face of the first rotating jaw. A linear guide rail is arranged on the frame on one side of the first bearing seat. A second bearing seat is connected to the linear guide rail through a slider. A second rolling bearing is arranged in the second bearing seat. A second rotating jaw is arranged in the second rolling bearing. The second rotating jaw is arranged opposite to the first rotating jaw. A cylinder is arranged on the frame. The piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the second bearing seat. The cylinder is connected to a gas source through an air pipe, a pneumatic valve and a precision pressure reducing valve.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the effects of the present utility model are positive and obvious. The first rotating jaw and the second rotating jaw are used to clamp the fully welded ball valve to be assembled. The air cylinder drives the second rotating jaw to move along the linear guide rail, and presses the fully welded ball valve to be assembled together with the first rotating jaw. According to the valve diameter and pressure, the sealing pressures of the sealing elements on both sides of the ball are different. Based on calculations and experience, the input pressure of the compressed air of the air cylinder is set by using a precision pressure reducing valve to keep the output force of the air cylinder stable, so as to control the pressing force of the fully welded ball valve to be assembled. After the valve is welded and assembled, the yield rate is extremely high, greatly improving the production efficiency of the valve; the precision pressure reducing valve can accurately set the pressure to meet the requirements of the pressing force for assembling the fully welded ball valve.

[0013] Further, a bearing retaining plate 10 is arranged on the first bearing seat 11 on one side of the first rolling bearing 9.
[0014] Further, the piston rod of the air cylinder 2 is connected to the second bearing seat 13 through a floating joint 4.
[0015] Furthermore, a flow restrictor 1 is provided on the cylinder 2.

[0017] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0018] As Figure 2 shown, the fully welded ball valve assembly structure includes a first inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 18, a second inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 15, a valve body 16, a ball 17, a valve stem 21, a bearing 19, a sealing ring 20, etc. Before the ball valve is welded and assembled, it can be divided into four parts: the first inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 18, the second inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 15, the valve body assembly, and the valve stem assembly.
[0019] 1) During operation, the first inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 18, the second inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 15, the valve body assembly, and the valve stem assembly are combined, and then the first inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 18 and the second inlet and outlet cylinder assembly 15 are respectively placed on the first rotating jaw 8 and the second rotating jaw 6, and clamped by the first rotating jaw 8 and the second rotating jaw 6. The cylinder 2 drives the second rotating jaw 6 to move along the linear guide 5 and presses the fully welded ball valve to be assembled together with the first rotating jaw 8. According to the valve diameter and pressure, and the sealing pressure of the sealing parts on both sides of the ball, and based on calculations and experience, the input pressure of the compressed air of the cylinder 2 is set by using the precision pressure reducing valve to keep the output force of the cylinder 2 stable, so as to control the pressing force of the fully welded ball valve to be assembled.
