[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in , this embodiment provides a welding auxiliary tool 1 for assisting a welder in welding a gas distribution plate 100 to be welded into a finished gas distribution plate. The gas distribution plate 100 to be welded is a gas distribution plate that has been assembled with a flange ring 101 and a double-layer welding pad 102, but the welding process has not yet been completed. The finished gas distribution plate is a gas distribution plate that has been welded on the basis of the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded. The double-layer welding pad 102 includes a concave disk 1021 and a flat disk 1022 that are connected. When welding the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded, the concave disk 1021 is welded to the inner wall of the flange ring 101, and the flat disk 1022 is welded flush with the end surface of the flange ring 101 to form the finished gas distribution plate.
[0031] To facilitate welding the double-layer welding pad 102 and the flange ring 101, the welding auxiliary tooling 1 in this embodiment includes a base plate 11, a pressure plate 12 and a fixing assembly, which is used to fix the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded to the base plate 11 to position the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded. The bottom plate 11 is provided with a positioning area 111 on one side. When welding the concave disk 1021 and the flange ring 101, the gas distribution disk 100 to be welded is placed flat on the side where the positioning area 111 is located, and the flat disk 1022 is fitted with the surface of the positioning area 111 to ensure the overall flatness of the flat disk 1022. The pressure plate 12 is placed on the concave disk 1021, specifically in the groove of the concave disk 1021, so that the concave disk 1021 can be shaped. When the concave disk 1021 and the flange ring 101 are welded, no large deformation will occur. At the same time, the fixing assembly fixes the gas distribution disk 100 to be welded to the bottom plate 11, and no relative movement will occur when the concave disk 1021 and the flange ring 101 are welded. In this way, the flatness of the concave disk 1021 welding can be guaranteed, and the welding strength of the concave disk 1021 can be guaranteed, thereby improving the welding quality of the concave disk 1021 and the flange ring 101.
[0032] A protruding area 112 is provided on the other side of the bottom plate 11. When welding the flat plate 1022 and the flange ring 101, it is necessary to disassemble the fixing assembly, remove the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded from the bottom plate 11, turn the bottom plate 11 over so that the protruding area 112 faces upward, and place the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded on the protruding area 112. Specifically, the flange ring 101 is placed on the outer periphery of the protruding area 112, and the concave plate 1021 is fitted with the protruding area 112. The setting of the protruding area 112 can achieve that when welding the flat plate 1022, the concave plate 1021 is 21 is substantially in contact with the flat plate 1022, preventing deformation of the flat plate 1022 due to the concave structure of the concave plate 1021 during welding, thereby ensuring the flatness of the flat plate 1022 in the finished gas distribution plate. The fixing assembly is used to fix the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded to the side of the base plate 11 having the protruding area 112, thereby preventing relative movement between the flat plate 1022 and the flange ring 101 during welding, thereby ensuring the quality of the weld at the flat plate 1022. This ensures both the flatness of the weld at the flat plate 1022 and the strength of the weld at the flat plate 1022. Under the action of the welding auxiliary tooling 1, the deformation of the concave disk 1021 and the flat disk 1022 can be reduced while ensuring the welding strength of the concave disk 1021 and the flat disk 1022 and the flange ring 101, so that the double-layer welding disk 102 is firmly welded to the flange ring 101 to form a finished gas distribution disk, thereby ensuring the use effect and quality of the finished gas distribution disk.
[0033] Specifically, the fixing assembly includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member, wherein the first fixing member is used to fix the double-layer welding pad 102 and the base plate 11 to each other, and the second fixing member is used to fix the flange ring 101 and the base plate 11 to each other. Fixing the flange ring 101 and the double-layer welding pad 102 on the base plate 11 can avoid relative movement between the two when welding them, so as to ensure the welding quality of the double-layer welding pad 102 and the flange ring 101, and thereby ensure the quality of the finished gas distribution plate.
[0034] For example, regarding the connection between the double-layer pad 102 and the base plate 11, in this embodiment, a plurality of through holes 1111 are provided on the positioning area 111, and a plurality of positioning holes 121 are provided on the pressure plate 12, wherein the positioning holes 121 and the through holes 1111 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the through holes on the double-layer pad 102. The first fixing member penetrates and connects the positioning holes 121, the through holes, and the through holes 1111 to fix the pressure plate 12, the double-layer pad 102, and the base plate 11. In this case, the first fixing member can be a bolt or a latch. Of course, the first fixing member can also be a plurality of protruding columns corresponding to the through holes of the double-layer pad 102 provided on the positioning area 111. When the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded is placed on the base plate 11, the protruding columns are correspondingly inserted into the through holes on the double-layer pad 102 to fix the double-layer pad 102 to the base plate 11. Regarding the form of the first fixing member, no specific limitation is made here.
[0035] Preferably, the first fixing member can be a bolt with an internal thread provided in the through hole 1111. After the first fixing member passes through the positioning hole 121 and the through hole on the double-layer pad 102, it can be threadedly connected to the internal thread and locked in the through hole 1111. The threaded connection method facilitates the installation or removal of the first fixing member by the worker, so as to quickly connect or remove the double-layer pad 102 from the base plate 11, thereby improving the operator's convenience.
[0036] Regarding the fixation of the base plate 11 to the flange ring 101, in this embodiment, the second fixing member includes a base and a crimping member. The base and base plate 11 can be fixed by a snap fastener or a bolt fastening device, without limitation. The crimping member can be crimped onto the end face of the flange ring 101, thereby fixing the flange ring 101 to the base plate 11. The second fixing member can be a manual toggle clamp. The manual toggle clamp is designed based on the mechanical principle of the double rocker mechanism in a planar four-bar linkage. Its basic structure consists of four components: a connecting rod, a frame, and two connecting rods. When the two hinge points of the connecting rod and the connecting rod, and the hinge point of one of the connecting rods and the frame are in a straight line, the mechanism is in a dead center position. At this time, no matter how much reaction force is applied to the clamped workpiece, the pressure head cannot be loosened. Manual toggle clamps can be broadly categorized into vertical manual toggle clamps, horizontal manual toggle clamps, push-pull manual toggle clamps, latch manual toggle clamps, extrusion manual toggle clamps, cam manual toggle clamps, and multi-functional modular manual toggle clamps. Manual toggle clamps are commonly used components in the field of fixing and are not the focus of this utility model.
[0037] The second fixing part can also be formed by combining two clamping plates and a locking bolt. Specifically, one clamping plate is attached to the bottom surface of the base plate 11, and the other clamping plate is attached to the end surface of the flange ring 101. Internal threaded mounting holes are provided on both clamping plates. The locking bolt is passed through the two mounting holes and locked in the two mounting holes to fix the flange ring 101 to the base plate 11.
[0038] In order to improve the convenience of welding the double-layer welding pad 102 and the flange ring 101 and improve the welding efficiency of the staff, a plurality of welding pieces are arranged at intervals on the outer periphery of the flat plate 1022. In order to ensure that the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded can be placed flat on the side of the positioning area 111 on the base plate 11, in this embodiment, a circle of avoidance grooves 113 is arranged on the outer periphery of the positioning area 111. When the staff places the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded on the base plate 11, the welding pieces can be accommodated in the avoidance grooves 113 to facilitate the assembly of the base plate 11 and the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded.
[0039] In this embodiment, a central groove 1112 is provided in the positioning area 111. The provision of central groove 1112 reduces the weight of the base plate 11, making it lightweight. Furthermore, when the pressing plate 12 presses the concave disc 1021 against the positioning area 111, it prevents the concave disc 1021 from bulging upward and deforming. The provision of central groove 1112 further reduces the deformation of the concave disc 1021 during welding, thereby further improving the welding quality of the concave disc 1021. The depth of central groove 1112 can range from 3 cm to 5 cm, or from 5 cm to 8 cm, without specific limitation.
[0040] Preferably, the protruding area 112 can be machined into a cylindrical shape that matches the opening shape of the flange ring 101, so as to facilitate quick assembly of the base plate 11 and the gas distribution plate 100 to be welded. Since the flange ring 101 is mostly a cylindrical structure, the protruding area 112 can be configured as a cylinder. If the opening shape of the flange ring 101 is square, the protruding area 112 can be configured as a cube. The height of the protruding area 112 should be no less than the depth of the flange ring 101, so that when workers weld the flat plate 1022, the protruding area 112 can help the concave plate 1021 and the flat plate 1022 to fit more smoothly, further improving the welding quality of the flat plate 1022.
[0041] Preferably, in order to ensure the service life of the welding auxiliary tooling 1, in this embodiment, the base plate 11 and the pressure plate 12 are both made of stainless steel.
[0042] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
