Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , in this embodiment: A positioning and gas protection device for internal hole welding of dense tube bundles in a narrow space, including a first main body 1 and a second main body 2. One side of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 is hinged, which can clamp and fix the pipeline to be welded. The first main body 1 includes a vertical plate 6. A screw 5 is hinged to the left side of the vertical plate 6, and a cushion block 7 is arranged on the outer ring of one side of the screw 5. The left end of the screw 5 is hinged with a handle 3, which can make the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 close or open. The first main body 1 also includes a support plate 19. Annular protection gas cavities are respectively opened on the mutually close sides of the right sides of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2. The arc-shaped inner surfaces of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the grooves will form an annular protection gas cavity after the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are combined, realizing full argon protection for the entire annular local area on the back of the weld during the welding process, preventing welding oxidation and improving welding quality.

[0023] In this embodiment, an intake pipe 9 is installed on one side of the upper part of the first main body 1, which penetrates and extends into the annular protective gas chamber opened in the first main body 1. A valve 8 is installed on the intake pipe 9. The annular protective gas chambers opened on the side where the right sides of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are close to each other will form an annular protective gas chamber after the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are combined. A moving plate matching the outer circle of one side of the screw rod 5 is arranged, and springs 4 surrounding the outer circle of the screw rod 5 are fixedly installed on the sides where the moving plate and the cushion block 7 are close to each other. Grooves are opened on both the left side of the support plate 19 and the second main body 2, and one end of the screw rod 5 is hinged to the inner walls on both sides of the groove opened in the support plate 19. The groove opened on the left side of the second main body 2 is slightly larger than the outer circle of the screw rod 5. The right side of the handle 3 is U-shaped, and a fixing plate is installed inside the U-shaped part on the right side of the handle 3 through a pin 10. The screw rod 5 penetrates through the fixing plate on the side away from the vertical plate 6, and a nut 15 is arranged on the outer circle of the end of the screw rod 5 penetrating through the fixing plate. An observation window 17 is opened on the right side of the support plate 19, and a glass 18 is installed on the observation window 17. An observation window 17 is opened on the first main body 1 and a protective glass 18 is inlaid, so that the welding process can be observed and monitored in real time, making the welding process more intuitive, which is beneficial to monitoring and improving the welding process. The first main body 1 and the second main body 2 clamp a split tube 13. The first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are semi-circular structures, made of metal materials, with good stiffness and high temperature resistance. The arc dimensions match the product specifications. After the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are combined and clamped, the whole device forms a rigid fixation for the workpiece to be welded, preventing the workpiece from loosening and deforming during the welding process, ensuring the assembly accuracy, and effectively guaranteeing the welding quality. The handle 3, the cushion block 7, the nut 15 and the screw rod 5 form an eccentric clamping device, adopting an eccentric wheel mechanism, with a wheel diameter of φ25mm, an eccentricity of 1.2 - 2.2mm, and an eccentric wheel characteristic of about 5.6 - 10.4, which can achieve self-locking.

[0024] Working principle and usage process of the utility model: For a positioning and gas protection device for internal hole welding of dense tube bundles in narrow spaces, first, the tube sheet or header pipe joint and the heat exchange tubes can be pre-assembled, such as the split tube 13. Then, the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 are respectively placed at the pre-assembled welding position from both sides of the split tube 13, and the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 can be hinged and engaged. The position of the device is finely adjusted, and the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 can be closed and pressed through the handle 3, spring 4, screw rod 5 and cushion block 7 to fix and clamp the tube sheet or header pipe joint and the heat exchange tubes. The cushion block 7 is tightly pressed by the elastic force of the spring 4 to achieve one-time adjustment and repeated use. After that, argon can be filled through the air inlet pipe 9, and then welding can be started. The welding situation can be observed through the glass 18 installed on the observation window 17. After welding, the protective gas can be closed through the valve 8, and the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 can be opened through the handle 3, spring 4, screw rod 5 and cushion block 7. The connecting hinge of the first main body 1 and the second main body 2 is separated, and the device is removed to complete the welding. It is suitable for all weldable metal materials. The outer diameter of the heat exchange tubes is φ16 - φ60, and the center distance between the tubes is 30 - 100 mm.
