Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pipeline welding, in particular to a pipeline annular welding device. Background Art

[0002] Laying pipes is a very common task in various construction scenarios. In order to facilitate transportation, pipes are usually cut into fixed lengths and re-welded and assembled at the construction site.

[0003] Currently, the welding work after pipe butt connection is usually done manually. When welding the pipe, the welding gun needs to circle the pipe for welding. When the pipe is laid in a long line, it is fixed in sections. Because the previous pipe has been welded and fixed, it is usually impossible to rotate the pipe during welding. Manual welding is extremely inconvenient and the welding efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a pipeline annular welding device, which has the advantage of replacing manual welding of pipelines with high efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pipe annular welding device, comprising:

[0006] Opening and closing drive assembly;

[0007] A first track and a second track are driven to be spliced ​​together by the opening and closing drive assembly and are combined to form a circular track when spliced ​​together;

[0008] A transfer drive member drives the first track and the second track to move so that the first track and the second track are arranged in a circle outside the pipeline after being assembled;

[0009] a surround drive assembly; and,

[0010] A surrounding frame is driven by the surrounding drive assembly and slides along the paths of the first track and the second track, and a welding gun is mounted on the surrounding frame.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, after the pipelines are docked, the opening and closing drive assembly drives the first track and the second track to open, and the transfer drive member drives the first track and the second track to move, so that the first track and the second track move toward a preset position where the pipeline is surrounded. After the first track and the second track reach the preset position, the opening and closing drive assembly drives the first track and the second track to be spliced ​​together, so that the first track and the second track are surrounded by the pipeline. Thereafter, the welding gun works, and at the same time, the surrounding drive assembly drives the surrounding frame to move along the circular track formed by the first track and the second track, so that the welding gun surrounds the pipeline to weld the pipeline. This solution drives the welding gun to surround the pipeline to weld the pipeline through a mechanical mechanism, replacing manual labor to efficiently weld the pipeline.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the opening and closing drive assembly includes:

[0013] A driving gear and a driven gear meshing with the driving gear, a first screw and a second screw with opposite thread directions are fixed on both sides of the driven gear, the first screw is threadedly connected to a first slider fixedly connected to the first track, and the second screw is threadedly connected to a second slider fixedly connected to the second track; an opening and closing drive member drives the driving gear to rotate reciprocally so that the first slider and the second slider move toward or in opposite directions to achieve the splicing and separation of the first track and the second track.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the opening and closing drive member drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate. When the driven gear rotates, it drives the first screw and the second screw to rotate. Since the threads of the first screw and the second screw are set in opposite directions, the first slider and the second slider will move towards each other or in opposite directions, thereby driving the first track and the second track to separate or splice.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the surround drive assembly includes:

[0016] A surrounding drive member mounted on the surrounding frame; a surrounding gear driven to rotate by the surrounding drive member; and a gear ring mounted separately on the first track and the second track, wherein a complete gear ring is formed when the first track and the second track are assembled, and the surrounding gear is meshed with the gear ring.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the surrounding drive member drives the surrounding gear to rotate, and the surrounding gear moves along the ring gear, thereby driving the surrounding frame to move on the first track and the second track, so that the welding gun moves around the pipe.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer driving component is configured as a robotic arm.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the robotic arm flexibly drives the first track and the second track to move.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further comprises a welding drive mounted on the surrounding frame and a welding gun fixing frame driven by the welding drive frame to slide back and forth along the length direction of the pipe during welding, wherein the welding gun is mounted on the welding gun fixing frame.

[0021] With the above technical solution, when the surrounding frame drives the welding gun to circle around the welding pipe, the welding drive member drives the welding gun fixing frame to slide back and forth, thereby making the weld into a wave shape and improving the welding strength.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, the welding drive component is configured as a screw mechanism driven by a stepper motor or a servo motor, or an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0023] Through the above technical solution, the screw mechanism, electric cylinder, air cylinder and hydraulic cylinder drive the welding gun fixing frame to slide back and forth, thereby making the weld into a wave shape and improving the welding strength.

[0024] As described above, the pipe annular welding device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] After the pipelines are docked, the opening and closing drive assembly drives the first track and the second track to open, and the transfer drive member drives the first track and the second track to move, so that the first track and the second track move toward a preset position where the pipeline is surrounded. After the first track and the second track reach the preset position, the opening and closing drive assembly drives the first track and the second track to be spliced ​​together, so that the first track and the second track are surrounded by the pipeline. Then the welding gun works and the surrounding drive assembly drives the surrounding frame to move along the circular track formed by the first track and the second track, so that the welding gun surrounds the pipeline to weld the pipeline. This solution uses a mechanical mechanism to drive the welding gun to surround the pipeline to weld, replacing manual labor to efficiently weld the pipeline. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
