Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stainless steel pipeline root protection welding, in particular to an inflation device for stainless steel pipeline root protection welding. Background Art
[0002] Root protection welding of stainless steel pipes is a process for protecting the root of the weld during the welding process, aiming to ensure welding quality and efficiency. This welding method is particularly important because the metal at the root of the weld is easily oxidized during the welding process, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Therefore, special protection measures are needed to prevent root metal oxidation and alloy element burnout. A commonly used method is to fill the back with argon gas for protection to prevent oxygen in the air from contacting the weld, thereby protecting the root of the weld from oxidation; in the existing technology, direct inflation is mostly used for the inflation of stainless steel pipes. By sealing the end of the pipe, and then inserting the inflation pipe into the interior of the stainless steel pipe, the protective gas is continuously injected into the pipe to replace the oxygen inside the pipe with protective gas. However, some pipes are larger in size, and the inflation process requires more protective gas, and the inflation process takes a long time, affecting the efficiency of stainless steel pipe root protection welding.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1-3 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: an inflation device for root protection welding of stainless steel pipes, comprising an inflation pipe 1 and a flow guide mechanism 3;
[0021] Inflatable tube 1: The right end of its outer arc surface is provided with an inflation hole 2. The protective gas is transported through the inflation tube 1 and discharged from the inflation hole 2 to inflate the welding position of the stainless steel pipe;
[0022] The guide mechanism 3 includes a hollow disk 31, an exhaust hole 32, a guide tube 33 and a sealing gasket 34. The hollow disk 31 is threadedly connected to the right end of the outer arc surface of the inflation tube 1. The inner arc surface of the hollow disk 31 is an open structure. The hollow disk 31 is installed in conjunction with the inflation hole 2. The outer edge of the right side of the hollow disk 31 is respectively provided with an exhaust hole 32, the right end of the hollow disk 31 is provided with a guide tube 33, and the left end of the hollow disk 31 is provided with a sealing gasket 34. The sealing gasket 34 is installed in conjunction with the stainless steel pipe. The sealing gasket 34 is used to seal the hollow disk 31 and the stainless steel pipe to prevent the protective gas from flowing to the left. The protective gas enters the interior of the hollow disk 31 through the inflation hole 2 and is finally discharged from the exhaust hole 32. The protective gas is discharged from the outer arc surface of the guide tube 33 and the non- The air flows to the right between the inner arc surface of the stainless steel pipe to inflate the welding position, guide the shielding gas to concentrate on inflating the welding position, reduce the use of shielding gas, and speed up the inflation speed. The guide mechanism 3 also includes a connecting ring 35, which is arranged on the inner arc surface of the guide tube 33. The connecting ring 35 is threadedly connected to the right end of the hollow disk 31, and the guide tube 33 is inserted into the slot on the right side of the hollow disk 31, which is convenient for disassembly of the connecting ring 35. The guide mechanism 3 also includes an elastic support plate 36, a guide column 37 and a top pressure ring 38. The elastic support plate 36 is arranged on the outer edge of the left side of the hollow disk 31, and the sealing gasket 34 is arranged at the left end of the outer arc surface of the elastic support plate 36. The guide columns 37 are respectively arranged on the left side of the hollow disk 31. A top pressure ring 38 is connected to the outer arc surface of the guide column 37 for horizontal sliding. The right end of the outer arc surface of the top pressure ring 38 is a conical arc surface. The guide mechanism 3 also includes a return spring 39, which is respectively arranged between the top pressure ring 38 and the hollow disk 31. The return spring 39 is movably sleeved on the outer arc surface of the guide column 37. Under the elastic force of the return spring 39, the top pressure ring 38 is convenient to reset. The outer arc surface of the inflation tube 1 is threadedly connected with a locking rotating tube 4. The right end of the locking rotating tube 4 is installed in conjunction with the top pressure ring 38. The locking rotating tube 4 is rotated and connected to the inflation tube 1 through the threaded connection between the locking rotating tube 4 and the inflation tube 1. The locking rotating tube 4 moves rightward and applies a rightward thrust to the top pressure ring 38, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 39, so that the top pressure ring 38 moves rightward. The conical arc surface of the top pressure ring 38 is used to apply a force to the elastic support plate 36, so that the elastic support plate 36 is deformed in the direction away from the inflation tube 1, pushing the sealing gasket 34 to fit tightly with the stainless steel pipe, and sealing between the hollow disk 31 and the stainless steel pipe. At the same time, the friction between the sealing gasket 34 and the stainless steel pipe is used to fix the position of the hollow disk 31 in the stainless steel pipe. The mounting holes on the inner arc surface of the hollow disk 31 are each provided with a sealing gasket 5. After the hollow disk 31 is connected to the inflation tube 1, the inflation hole 2 is located between the two sealing gaskets 5, which seals the hollow disk 31 and the inflation tube 1. A sealing gasket 2 6 is provided in the slot on the right side of the hollow disk 31 to seal between the hollow disk 31 and the guide tube 33.
[0023] The working principle of the inflatable device for root protection welding of stainless steel pipes provided by the present invention is as follows: when performing protective welding on the root of the stainless steel pipe, according to the size of the stainless steel pipe, a hollow disk 31 of a suitable diameter is selected to connect with the inflatable pipe 1, and then the hollow disk 31 is inserted into the interior of the stainless steel pipe so that the welding position coincides with the guide pipe 33, and then the locking rotating pipe 4 is rotated. Through the threaded connection between the locking rotating pipe 4 and the inflatable pipe 1, the locking rotating pipe 4 is moved to the right to apply a rightward thrust to the top pressure ring 38, overcoming the elastic force of the return spring 39, so that the top pressure ring 38 moves to the right, and the tapered shape of the top pressure ring 38 is utilized. The arc surface applies a force to the elastic support plate 36, causing the elastic support plate 36 to deform in the direction away from the inflation tube 1, pushing the sealing gasket 34 to fit tightly against the stainless steel pipe, thereby sealing the hollow disk 31 and the stainless steel pipe. At the same time, the friction between the sealing gasket 34 and the stainless steel pipe is used to fix the position of the hollow disk 31 in the stainless steel pipe. Then, the protective gas is introduced into the inflation tube 1, and the protective gas enters the interior of the hollow disk 31 through the inflation hole 2, and is finally discharged from the exhaust hole 32. The protective gas flows to the right between the outer arc surface of the guide tube 33 and the inner arc surface of the stainless steel pipe to inflate the welding position.
