Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pipe welding hanging arm supports, and particularly to a hanging arm hook mechanism for pipe welding. Background Technique

[0002] Pipe welding is a technical method of connecting pipes or pipe fittings into a whole through a welding process, and is widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, shipbuilding, and electric power. Welding not only requires the strength and tightness of the weld seam, but also needs to consider factors such as the material, specification, shape, working pressure, temperature, and medium of the pipe, which is a work with high technical requirements and great difficulty.

[0003] In the prior art, after the pipes are fed, generally a suspended cantilever or hanging arm is needed to support the pipes. However, during the support process, the hanging arm is prone to bending under the self-weight of the pipes, thereby affecting the support of the hanging arm for the pipes and the subsequent positioning and welding effects of the pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a hook mechanism that can connect to the hanging arm to reduce the deflection change of the hanging arm. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hanging arm hook mechanism for pipe welding, with a clever structure, which can be quickly connected to or quickly disengaged from the hanging arm by rotation, can not only ensure that there is no interference during pipe feeding, but also ensure that the pipes are connected to the hanging arm and supported by the hanging arm after pipe feeding, which is convenient and practical.

[0005] The technical solution for realizing the purpose of the utility model is: the utility model has a working platform and a frame fixed on the working platform; an installation seat and a hanging arm that can extend into the pipe and support the pipe are arranged on the working platform. One end of the hanging arm is fixed on the installation seat, and the other end of the hanging arm is suspended. A hook assembly for supporting the suspended end of the hanging arm is arranged on the frame. The hook assembly includes a hook cylinder arranged on the frame, a hook bracket rotatably connected to the frame, and connecting plates oppositely arranged on the hook bracket. One end of the hook cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame, and the telescopic end of the hook cylinder is rotatably connected to the hook bracket. The rotation axis of the hook bracket is perpendicular to the extension direction of the hanging arm. Connecting wheels are arranged on both sides of the suspended end of the hanging arm, and each connecting wheel is rotatably connected to the hanging arm, and the rotation axis of each connecting wheel is parallel to the rotation axis of the hook bracket. A hook groove for the corresponding connecting block to be inserted into is arranged on each connecting plate. Each connecting plate on the hook bracket supports the suspended end of the hanging arm through the driving of the hook bracket by the hook cylinder, the rotational connection between the hook bracket and the frame, and the insertion and cooperation between the hook groove and the connecting block.

[0006] Furthermore, the above-mentioned hook bracket includes two oppositely arranged hook plates and a connecting plate connecting the two hook plates.

A connecting rod for connecting the hook plates is provided between the hook plates, and each connecting rod is parallel to the connecting plate. Each connecting plate is fixed on the connecting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the above-mentioned hook groove is provided with a guiding inclined surface for guiding the connecting wheel into or out of the hook groove, a pressing arc surface for pressing the connecting wheel, and an anti-disengagement surface. The pressing arc surface forms a surface contact with the connecting wheel after the connecting wheel is snapped into the hook groove, and the anti-disengagement surface forms a line contact with the connecting wheel after the connecting wheel is snapped into the hook groove.

A plurality of ventilation holes for introducing argon gas are provided in the welding groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting block is also provided on the above-mentioned connecting plate. The limiting block is arranged above each connecting plate. A pipe pushing assembly for pushing and positioning the pipe on the hanging arm is provided on the working platform. The pipe pushing assembly includes a linear module fixed on the working platform, a pushing block slidably arranged on the linear module driven by the linear module, and two oppositely arranged pushing plates on the pushing block. The sliding direction of the pushing block is parallel to the extending direction of the hanging arm, and the extending direction of each pushing plate is also parallel to the extending direction of the hanging arm. A limiting groove adapted to each pushing plate is also provided at the upper end of the hanging arm. Each limiting groove is arranged on both sides of the installation groove.

[0022] The hook bracket 32 includes two oppositely arranged hook plates 321 and a connecting plate 322 connecting the two hook plates 321. The cross section of the hook plate 321 is V-shaped, and each hook plate 321 is rotatably connected to the frame 2 coaxially.

Each connecting rod is parallel to the connecting plate 322, and each connecting plate 33 is fixed on the connecting plate 322.

[0023] The hook groove 36 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 361 for guiding the connecting wheel 53 into or out of the hook groove 36, a pressing arc surface 362 for pressing the connecting wheel 53, and an anti-detachment surface 363.

[0026] The working principle of the present utility model: In the process of using the present utility model, in the previous process, the pipe is transferred to the hanging arm 5. After the pipe is transferred to the hanging wall, the hook cylinder 31 drives the hook bracket 32 to rotate. The hook grooves 36 on each connecting plate 33 on the hook bracket 32 are connected with the connecting wheels 53 on the hanging arm 5. In the process of connection, each connecting wheel 53 is first introduced into the hook groove 36 through each guiding inclined surface 361, and then each connecting wheel 53 is in surface contact with the pressing arc surface 362, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness of the connection between the connecting wheel 53 and the hook groove 36. And through the line contact between the connecting wheel 53 and the anti-disengagement surface 363, it is avoided that the connecting wheel 53 is disengaged from the hook groove 36 during the pressing process with the hook groove 36, effectively ensuring the firmness of the connection between the hook groove 36 and the connecting wheel 53 on the hanging arm 5. After the hook groove 36 on the connecting plate 33 is connected with the connecting wheel 53, the linear module 42 drives the push block 43, and the push block 43 drives each push plate 44 to push the end surface of the pipe. And during the movement of the push plate 44, the cooperation between the push plate 44 and the limit groove 52 avoids the deformation of the push plate 44 during the pipe pushing process, ensuring the stability of the push plate 44 during the pipe pushing process. The pipe is pushed by each push plate 44 to lean against the limit stop 34. On the one hand, it gives the initial position for the welding torch during the later welding process of the pipe. On the other hand, different pipes have the same initial position during welding. The cooperation between the hook groove 36 on the connecting plate 33 and the connecting wheel 53, on the one hand, effectively ensures the stability and levelness of the hanging arm 5, effectively solving the problem of the deflection change of the hanging arm 5 under the action of the self-weight of the pipe in the prior art. On the other hand, the cooperation between the pipe pushing assembly 4 and the limit stop 34 also lays a foundation for the accuracy and precision of the welding of the welds on the later pipes, which is efficient and convenient.

It should be understood that the above description is only for the specific embodiments of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
