Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of discharge pipeline positioning, in particular to a discharge pipeline positioning fixture tool for hydrogen energy filling equipment. Background Art

[0002] The hydrogen filling and release process is the main process of the hydrogen refueling station. Among them, the release process flow is: hydrogen is safely released through the release pipeline to deal with excess hydrogen.

[0003] The safety valve vent pipeline of hydrogen filling equipment (hydrogen filling machine) mainly consists of three parts: one is the safety valve outlet end, one is the vent main pipe collection end, and the other is the sleeve pipeline. The safety valve outlet end is connected to the vent main pipe collection end through the sleeve pipeline.

[0004] Among them, the safety valve outlet uses an NPT thread-to-weld union. Since there are multiple safety valves installed on the hydrogen filling equipment, and the models and specifications of the safety valves are different, the safety valve outlets are not in the same horizontal plane after conversion through the NPT thread-to-weld union. Therefore, the size of the ferrule pipeline corresponding to each safety valve is different, and the other end of each ferrule pipeline needs to be aggregated and connected to the aggregate end of the vent main pipe after aggregation.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, it is necessary to position each pipeline and weld a joint at one end of each pipeline for connecting to the corresponding safety valve outlet. The other end of each pipeline is aggregated and welded with a joint for connecting to the aggregate end of the relief main pipe. Subsequently, the ferrule pipeline is installed between the safety valve outlet and the aggregate end of the relief main pipe.

[0006] Currently, manual positioning of pipelines is the main method used. However, due to certain deviations in manual positioning, the size of the ferrule pipeline does not meet the assembly requirements. In addition, thermal stress during welding causes pipeline deformation, which also makes it impossible to assemble the ferrule pipeline. The ferrule pipeline cannot be inspected for assembly after welding, and needs to be assembled on the hydrogen filling equipment (hydrogen filling machine) to determine whether it meets the assembly requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, it needs to be re-positioned and re-welded, which is labor-intensive and costly. Utility Model Content

One end of the upper connector is detachably connected to the intermediate connector, and the other end of the upper connector is used to be fixedly connected to the pipeline.

[0011] Among them, the height of the positioning block is determined according to the gap of the safety valve outlet end. When the safety valve outlet end is far away from the reference plane, a positioning block with a larger height is selected. Conversely, the gap between the outlet ends of each safety valve is compensated by the positioning block, so that the reference platform is used as a reference plane, and the height of each pipeline welding adapter is added to the positioning block to reach the same plane. After the welded pipeline is removed, it can be connected to the safety valve outlet end of the hydrogen filling equipment to complement and adapt. By adopting the fixture tooling of the utility model, the positioning accuracy of the pipeline is high and the error is small, ensuring that the size of the ferrule pipeline meets the assembly requirements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. 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.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a positioning fixture for a hydrogen filling equipment discharge pipeline, comprising a reference platform 1, wherein the reference platform 1 is used to be installed on a welding platform.

[0060] The reference platform 1 includes a top plate 101, a side plate 102 and a bottom connecting plate 103. A side plate 102 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate 101. The side plates 102 are perpendicular to the plate surface of the top plate 101. The bottom ends of the two side plates 102 are respectively connected to a bottom connecting plate 103. The bottom connecting plates 103 are arranged horizontally and located on the outside of the side plates 102. The bottom connecting plates 103 are used to connect to the welding platform.

[0061] In this embodiment, a connecting hole 104 is opened on the bottom connecting plate 103 , and a connecting member (such as a bolt, a screw, etc.) is installed in the connecting hole 104 to fix the reference platform 1 on the welding platform.

[0062] The top plate 101, the side plates 102 and the bottom connecting plate 103 are integrally formed structural parts, such as being formed by bending the entire plate, or the top plate 101, the side plates 102 and the bottom connecting plate 103 are connected together by a fixed connection method such as welding to form a whole.

[0063] The top plate 101 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 105. The spacing between two adjacent positioning holes 105 is selectively set according to actual conditions. The positioning holes 105 are preferably arranged at equal intervals to facilitate size control, facilitate subsequent positioning of the pipeline 4, and improve size controllability and installation convenience.

[0064] A positioning block 2 is installed on the reference platform 1, and the positioning block 2 is fixed to the top surface of the top plate 101. In this embodiment, the interior of the positioning block 2 has an internal thread, and the positioning block 2 is fixed to the top plate 101 by a bolt. During operation, one end of the bolt is passed through one of the positioning holes 105 from the bottom surface of the top plate 101, and then screwed into the positioning block 2, thereby fixing the positioning block 2.

[0065] According to the spacing between the safety valves on the hydrogen filling equipment (hydrogen filling machine), corresponding positioning holes 105 are selected on the reference platform 1 , and the positioning blocks 2 are installed at the respective positioning holes 105 .

[0066] The positioning block 2 includes a positioning ring 201 and a positioning post 202. The positioning ring 201 is located at the bottom of the positioning post 202 and is configured to contact and mate with the top surface of the top plate 101. The positioning ring 201 and the positioning post 202 are integrally formed components, or they are connected together by a fixed connection method such as welding to form a single unit. The interiors of the positioning ring 201 and the positioning post 202 are hollow structures, and the inner walls of the positioning ring 201 and the positioning post 202 are provided with internal threads.

[0067] The upper end of the positioning block 2 is fixedly connected to the welding thread adapter 7, and the welding thread adapter 7 includes a lower joint 701, an upper joint 702 and a nut 703. One end of the lower joint 701 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the positioning block 2. Specifically, the lower end of the lower joint 701 is welded to the upper end of the positioning column 202, and the upper end of the lower joint 701 is threadedly connected to the nut 703; the lower end of the upper joint 702 is threadedly connected to the nut 703, and the upper end of the upper joint 702 is welded to one end of the pipeline 4.

[0068] According to the above method, at least two pipelines 4 are arranged on the reference platform 1, and each pipeline 4 is connected to the welding thread adapter 7 and the positioning block 2. By installing the positioning blocks 2 at different heights, the gap between the outlet ends of each safety valve is compensated, so that the connection end of the sleeve pipeline used to connect with the outlet end of the safety valve is complementary to the outlet end of each safety valve, thereby ensuring that the sleeve pipeline group can be accurately connected to the outlet end of each safety valve, wherein the sleeve pipeline refers to the pipeline 4 with a connector connected to the end.

[0069] The outlet end of each pipeline 4 is connected to the aggregation joint 5. In this embodiment, the other end of the pipeline 4 is welded to the aggregation joint 5.

[0070] In this embodiment, the reference platform 1 is further mounted with a central positioning block 3 corresponding to the central end of the discharge main pipe. The structure of the central positioning block 3 is identical to that of the positioning block 2. The central positioning block 3 is also connected to the welded thread adapter 7. The upper end of the welded thread adapter 7 is connected to the central pipe 6, and the lower end is connected to the positioning block 2. The upper end of the central pipe 6 is welded to the central connector 5.

[0071] By using the hydrogen filling equipment venting pipeline positioning fixture tooling described in the utility model, the installation position of the positioning block 2 on the reference platform 1 is determined according to the position of each safety valve on the hydrogen filling machine, and the positioning block 2 is fixed to the target position on the reference platform 1 by bolts. Then, the welding thread adapter 7 is welded on the positioning block 2, and then the corresponding pipeline 4 is connected through the welding thread adapter 7, so as to realize the positioning of the pipeline 4 corresponding to each safety valve before welding. After the pipeline 4 is positioned, it is convenient to carry out the welding operation, improve the welding work efficiency, and facilitate the control of the forming accuracy of the pipeline 4 welding.

[0072] The utility model selects positioning blocks 2 of different heights according to the gaps between the outlet ends of each safety valve, and determines the size of each pipeline 4 while ensuring that the outlet mounting surfaces of the pipelines 4 are located in the same plane, and connects the outlets of each pipeline 4 to the aggregation joint 5, thereby achieving precise positioning of each pipeline 4 and obtaining a connected ferrule pipeline group. After the welded threaded adapter 7 is disassembled, the connecting ends of each ferrule pipeline used for connecting to the outlet end of the safety valve complement the outlet ends of each safety valve, and can be connected to the corresponding outlet ends of each safety valve, ensuring that the pipelines 4 after welding meet the installation requirements, and ensuring that the size of the ferrule pipeline meets the assembly requirements, effectively improving the assembly accuracy of the pipeline 4, avoiding errors caused by manual positioning, which make it impossible to assemble the pipeline 4, and ensuring the interchangeability of pipelines 4 in the same position, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0073] The ferrule pipe after welding and positioning can be disassembled from the fixture and subsequently assembled and installed at the outlet of the safety valve and the summing end of the relief main pipe.

[0074] After the pipeline 4 is welded, it can be tested by fixture and assembly inspection can be carried out in advance to detect whether the size of the pipeline 4 meets the installation requirements, further reducing the problem of the welded pipeline 4 being unable to be assembled.

[0075] The utility model can also position the collecting pipe 6 through the collecting positioning block 3 and the welding thread adapter 7, so that during subsequent assembly, the collecting pipe 6 can be directly connected to the collecting end of the discharge main pipe through the welding thread adapter 7.

[0076] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
