Description

[0003] Chinese patent document with authorization publication number CN216830047U discloses a pipe end grinding device for spiral seam welded pipe production. The device uses two sets of clamping hydraulic cylinders to position and clamp the spiral seam welded pipe, making the positioning and clamping of the spiral seam welded pipe more reliable, thereby realizing automatic positioning and clamping of the spiral seam welded pipe, reducing the time used for clamping, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the quality of pipe end grinding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model proposes a spiral welded pipe end flatness calibration tool, comprising a roller conveyor 1, a drive assembly 3, a clamping portion 4, a clamping mechanism 6 and a lifting assembly;

[0040] A clamping mechanism 6 is provided above the roller conveyor 1. Support rods 64 extending toward the roller conveyor 1 are provided at both ends of the inner side of the clamping mechanism 6. The roller conveyor 1 is shown schematically in the figure for its rollers only. The roller conveyor 1 has multiple rollers that are arranged equidistantly in the horizontal direction and are rotatably mounted by means of a support frame and a bearing seat. Chain drive structures and motors can also be installed at the ends of the rollers to rotate the multiple rollers synchronously.

[0041] There are two clamping parts 4, which are respectively mounted at the bottom ends of the support rod 64 and arranged symmetrically; the driving assembly 3 is mounted at one end of the clamping part 4;

[0042] There are two lifting assemblies, and the two lifting assemblies are respectively located on one side of the roller conveyor 1 and connected to the end of the clamping mechanism 6 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the spiral welded pipe is supported and conveyed by the roller conveyor 1, so that it is conveyed to the grinder, and the position of the clamping mechanism 6 is adjusted up and down by the lifting component, so that the clamping part 4 moves to the middle of the spiral welded pipe, and the middle of the clamping part 4 is aligned with the middle of the horizontal position of the spiral welded pipe. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 6 drives the two support rods 64 to move synchronously toward the spiral welded pipe, and the support rods 64 drive the clamping part 4 to contact the spiral welded pipe, and the contact point is away from the horizontal center position of the spiral welded pipe, so that the two clamping parts 4 are driven by the clamping mechanism 6 to fix the spiral welded pipe on the roller conveyor 1, and during the processing, the driving component 3 drives the clamping part 4 to work, so that the clamping part 4 drives the spiral welded pipe to move on the roller conveyor 1 toward the grinder, so that the pipe end of the spiral welded pipe is continuously processed, avoiding the problem of a small single processing volume requiring shutdown for adjustment and fixation.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a spiral welded pipe end flatness calibration tool. Compared with the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the clamping portion 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a bearing 42, a rotating rod 43 and a moving wheel 44;

[0046] The connecting rod 41 is mounted on the bottom end of the support rod 64. The connecting rod 41 is U-shaped and is used to keep the connecting rod 41 away from the spiral welded pipe when in use, so as to prevent the connecting rod 41 from contacting the middle of the spiral welded pipe and causing the moving wheel 44 to be unable to connect with the moving wheel 44.

[0047] There are two rotating rods 43, and the two rotating rods 43 are rotatably mounted on one end of the connecting rod 41 through bearings 42;

[0048] There are multiple moving wheels 44, and the multiple moving wheels 44 are fixedly installed on one end of the rotating rod 43. The rotating rod 43 and the moving wheels 44 at both ends are arranged in an I-shape to avoid the two moving wheels 44 being away from the horizontal middle of the spiral welded pipe and contacting it.

[0050] In this embodiment, by making the rotation direction of the moving wheel 44 perpendicular to the direction of the force generated between the spiral welded pipe and the grinder, the moving wheel 44 has friction between the spiral welded pipe, and the clamping force and friction force are used to block the rotational force generated between the spiral welded pipe and the grinder. At the same time, the driving component 3 drives the rotating rod 43 to drive the moving wheel 44 to rotate, so that the moving wheel 44 drives the spiral welded pipe to move toward the grinder, so that the spiral welded pipe can be continuously processed. Secondly, by making the two ends of the connecting rod 41 have an I-shaped rotating rod 43 and two moving wheels 44, the moving wheels 44 at both ends of the connecting rod 41 vertically limit the moving direction of the spiral welded pipe on the roller conveyor 1 toward the grinder and the rotation direction of the grinder, thereby improving the accuracy of the flatness calibration of the pipe end of the spiral welded pipe.

[0054] There are at least two toothed pulleys 31 , which are mounted on the rotating rod 43 and the output shaft of the second motor 33 , respectively.

[0055] The toothed belt 32 is installed outside the two toothed pulleys 31 and is meshed with the toothed pulleys 31 . When in use, the toothed pulleys 31 and the toothed belt 32 can be replaced with a chain transmission structure composed of a sprocket and a chain.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second motor 33 drives the toothed pulley 31 to rotate, so that the toothed pulley 31 drives the toothed belt 32 to run and drive the toothed pulley 31 installed on the rotating rod 43 to rotate, so that it drives the rotating rod 43 to rotate on the connecting rod 41, and the moving wheel 44 drives the spiral welded pipe to move.

[0066] There are two moving blocks 63 . The two moving blocks 63 are sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 62 and are slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 61 . The bottom ends of the moving blocks 63 are connected to the support rod 64 .

[0067] It should be noted that both ends of the rotating shaft 62 have threads, and the threads at both ends of the rotating shaft 62 are arranged symmetrically according to the center of the mounting shell 61. When the rotating shaft 62 and the moving block 63 are in the assembled state, the moving block 63 is fitted into the threads at the end of the rotating shaft 62.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first motor 2 drives the rotating shaft 62 to rotate inside the mounting shell 61, so that the rotating shaft 62 drives the two moving blocks 63 to move toward each other inside the mounting shell 61 through the thread, so that the moving blocks 63 drive the support rod 64 to adjust the position.
