Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of tube blank rolling, in particular to a metal tube blank rolling device for welding. Background Art
[0002] In today's industrial manufacturing, coil welding is a crucial welding technology. This is particularly true for metal bellows. This specialized welding method involves joining two or more metal pipes together under high temperature and pressure to form a seamless pipe. This technology is widely used in industries such as oil, gas, chemicals, and nuclear energy, and is an integral part of the modern industrial system.
[0003] Coiled tube welding has a wide range of applications. In the petrochemical industry, it connects various pipelines to ensure the smooth flow of oil and natural gas. In the nuclear power industry, it connects reactor pressure vessels and heat exchangers to ensure the safe operation of nuclear reactions. Coiled tube welding, as described in this article, involves welding sheet metal to a coiled tube. This welding method solves the problem of connecting large-diameter, thick-walled pipes that traditional welding methods cannot. Its emergence has significantly improved production efficiency in these industries. The principle of coiled tube welding is simple. First, the sheet metal and coiled tube are heated to their melting point, and then they are tightly bonded together. The welder's technical proficiency, the advanced welding equipment, and the quality of the welding materials all have a significant impact on the welding results. While the principle of pipe welding may seem simple, its actual operation requires advanced skills. Because the material, size, and shape of the sheet metal and coiled tube may vary, the welder must be able to flexibly adjust welding parameters to ensure weld quality.
[0004] The welding environment for rolled tube blanks is often harsh, characterized by high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive environments. This requires welding equipment with excellent resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosion. Furthermore, welding materials must be able to maintain stable performance in these environments. Although rolled tube blank welding has been widely used in many industries, its technological development still faces several challenges. For example, how to improve welding efficiency and reduce production costs; how to improve welding quality and reduce welding defects; and how to meet increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements. As an advanced welding technology, rolled tube blank welding has made significant contributions to modern industrial production. However, with the advancement of technology and increasing environmental protection requirements, we need to continue to explore new welding technologies and methods to meet future production needs.
[0005] In the existing technology, before welding the rolled tube blanks, it is necessary to produce an appropriate tube blank. The materials and specifications of the tube blanks are diverse. In order to improve the welding quality of the rolled tube blanks, the consistency of the gap between the tube blanks to be welded is particularly important. This requires a set of rolling devices for each tube blank. The tooling cost is high, and debugging and maintenance are time-consuming and labor-intensive, which increases production costs and poors production quality and process consistency.

The blind groove on one side of the connecting seat 7 is convenient for the staff to disassemble and assemble the rolling core mold 4. After the molding is completed, the tube blank needs to be disassembled.
