Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of annular support devices, in particular to an annular support device. Background Art
[0002] The manufacturing, processing and transportation of large annular parts usually rely on support devices to complete each process. To make a large annular workpiece into a complete annular workpiece, multiple arc-shaped plates need to be spliced and then welded. To ensure the external dimensions of the spliced annular workpiece, an annular support device is required. However, there are currently few annular support devices that can take into account different diameters and different processes at the same time. For annular parts of different diameters, most of the existing support devices are one support device suitable for the production process of annular parts of one diameter. Therefore, the manufacture of large annular workpieces with multiple diameters will result in the demand for a large number of annular support devices, which will cause waste and take up storage space. For the manufacture of annular parts of the same diameter, the annular support needs to be welded together with the annular support device during splicing and welding to form a stable support. When the annular support device is repeatedly used, it will involve repeated welding and cutting of the annular support, which will cause the annular support device to be damaged and cannot be reused.
[0003] In order to increase the applicable diameter range of the annular support device, reduce material waste caused by different annular support devices required for different diameters, and at the same time improve the support reliability and service life of the annular support device, and maintain functionality after multiple uses, there is an urgent need for an annular support device with a long service life, high reuse rate, applicable to multiple diameters, stable and reliable, and applicable to multiple processes.
[0004] Patent CN220347594 discloses a U-shaped ring positioning support device. This device consists of a disc-shaped support body and multiple detachable support rods mounted on the support body. The support rods are slidable, telescopic, and adjustable. However, this ring positioning support device utilizes friction between the adjustable rods and the inner wall of the support tube as a supporting force. However, the welding of the ring generates significant tension or pressure on the ring positioning support device, making it difficult to rely solely on friction between the adjustable rods and the inner wall of the support tube as a supporting force. Consequently, its stability and reliability are low. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an annular support device, comprising: an annular support base 1, multiple sets of fixed seats 2, and multiple sets of adjustable support rods 3. The multiple sets of fixed seats 2 are evenly distributed along the circumference and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular support base 1. The multiple sets of adjustable support rods 3 are fixedly connected to the fixed seats 2 in a one-to-one correspondence via fixing pins 23 and are in contact with the upper surface of the annular support base 1. The annular support device is connected to the inner wall of an annular workpiece 4.
[0027] like Figure 6 The figure shows the ring supporting state of the annular supporting device of the present invention. The specific implementation steps are as follows:
[0028] Step 1: Preliminarily adjust the extension length of the support rod 31 of the adjustable support rod 3 according to the inner diameter of the ring to be manufactured, and fix it with the fixing pin 23.
[0029] Step 2: Accurately adjust the screwing depth of the adjustable sleeve 32 on the threaded head 302 according to the inner diameter of the ring to be produced, and lock the adjustable sleeve 32 with the lock nut 33 to prevent the adjustable sleeve 32 from moving on the threaded head 302. According to the operations of steps 1 and 2, the advantage of the annular support device is that the diameter range supported by the annular support device can be adjusted accordingly according to the actual workpiece diameter size requirements, and the adjustment diameter size is infinitely adjustable within the specified range. That is, a single annular support device can be used to produce and use all large rings within the diameter coverage range of the annular support device, with strong versatility, greatly reducing the demand for annular support devices of different diameters, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and labor costs in producing the annular support device.
[0030] Step 3: Place the inner wall of the formed ring arc block in contact with the adjustable sleeve 32 of the annular support device and press them together, spot weld and rivet the arc block joints, and weld the adjustable sleeve 32 of the annular support device to the inner wall of the ring to form a Figure 6 The annular support device in this case provides reliable support for the welding of the rings, preventing deformation during welding between the ring segments. The adjustable sleeve 32 is a detachable threaded connection. This provides a stable and reliable support force, and after repeated welding and cutting of the adjustable sleeve 32 from the rings, if it becomes damaged, it can be promptly replaced without having to scrap the entire annular support device, thereby extending the service life of the annular support device.

The advantage of the annular support device in this case is that it is applicable to multiple processes. It not only serves as a welding support for the annular workpiece 4, but also provides additional support for the workpiece during the machining process to prevent machining errors caused by deformation. At the same time, it eliminates the need for additional support during the machining process, which can improve work efficiency.
[0032] Step 5: Cut off and separate the welding between the adjustable sleeve 32 of the annular support device and the inner wall of the ring, and remove the annular support device.

The adjustable sleeve 32 of the annular support device is a detachable structure with a threaded connection. The threaded connection can withstand the support force stably and reliably. After the adjustable sleeve 32 is welded and cut off from the ring piece multiple times, if it is damaged, it can be replaced in time without scrapping the entire annular support device, thereby increasing the service life of the annular support device. The annular support device can be applied to multiple processes. It can not only serve as a welding support for the annular workpiece 4, but also support the workpiece again during the processing process to prevent processing errors caused by processing deformation. It can support multiple processes at one time, thereby improving work efficiency.
