Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of flange installation, in particular to a full-size flange positioning tool. Background Art

[0002] Flanges are parts that connect shafts to each other and are used to connect pipe ends. Traditional flange installation often involves a chaotic operation site, requiring the use of several tools such as a spirit level, square, and hammer for accuracy. Assembling larger flanges requires the use of a crane, which is fraught with uncertainty. Operators may find it difficult due to the lack of accurate positioning and fixing tools, which can also lead to safety hazards during installation. Flanges need to be assembled in a vertical position during installation. There are small holes arranged in a ring on the flange for assembling other components. The overall position and angle of the flange must be accurate, and the two holes at the top of the flange must be horizontal when the flange is placed for better and more accurate assembly. Therefore, a tooling is required to support flanges of different sizes, and the overall levelness of the flange must also be adjustable, and the two holes at the top of the flange must be adjustable to a horizontal position. Therefore, solving this problem is very important. Summary of the Invention
