Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a measuring device, in particular to a device for measuring the misalignment of annular seams of unequal thickness between a cone and a cylinder of a container. Background Art
[0002] When operating, pressure vessels face challenges of high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive and highly toxic media. Figure 12 As shown, some pressure vessels use cones 31 and cylinders 32 connected by unequal thickness circumferential welds. This type of weld structure is subject to greater stress, and cylinder 32 is mostly processed by coil welding and cold working, while cone 31 is mostly welded by piece pressing and assembly. Since cylinder 32 and cone 31 themselves are elliptical and have relatively complex dimensions, when the ellipticity of cylinder 32 or cone 31 is large, there will be misalignment, which will cause insufficient local thickness of the weld and reduce the strength of the weld. Since the stress of the weld structure itself is large, and the local thickness of the weld is insufficient, the product is very easy to crack when running at high temperature, posing a safety hazard to the operation of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure the misalignment between the cone and the cylinder in order to reduce the misalignment before welding or to provide an accurate numerical basis for the calculation of weld strength.
[0003] Most containers have bevels inside and outside the cones and cylinders, and their thickness is uneven, making it difficult to detect the misalignment of the circumferential seams between the cones and cylinders. Existing methods for measuring the misalignment of the circumferential seams between cones and cylinders mainly use mechanical and optical measurements. Mechanical measurement, such as using thickness gauges and calipers, relies on manual operation and is easily affected by inaccurate equipment positioning and operator errors. It is difficult to obtain accurate data, especially under conditions of complex shapes and unequal thicknesses. Optical measurement uses optical projection or imaging equipment to capture data. Although it can avoid some mechanical operation errors, it has high requirements for equipment accuracy and the measurement environment. In actual engineering, especially under high temperature and high pressure environments, the stability and measurement accuracy of optical equipment are difficult to guarantee. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively detect the misalignment of the cones and cylinders, and it is impossible to determine the minimum value of the weld, which makes it impossible to ensure that the weld meets the ultimate load-bearing value.

[0032] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 As shown, for the assembled or welded cone 31 and cylinder 32, the thickness of the cylinder 32 is T1, the thickness of the cone 31 is T2, and the cone angle α of the cone 31 is 75°. When using the utility model, 1) the magnetic base 1 and the support rod 5 are placed on the surface of the cone 31 parallel to the generatrix of the cone 31, and the width centerline 23 of the support rod 5 coincides with the width centerline 21 of the magnetic base 1; 2) the angle scale 7 is adjusted so that its upper 0° line coincides with the height centerline 22 of the support rod 5, and the angle scale 7 is fixed to the mounting frame 6; 3) the angle pointer 19 is adjusted so that its centerline coincides with the centerline of the detection laser head 17, and the angle pointer 19 is fixed to the side of the laser rangefinder 14;
[0033] (4) Turn the rotating screw 8 and drive the laser rangefinder 14 to rotate synchronously through the key 15. The angle pointer 19 cooperates with the angle scale 7 to make the rotation angle equal to the cone angle α: 75°; turn on the vertical laser head 16 and axially move the position of the rotating screw 8.

[0042] The relative position of the support rod and the magnetic base can be adjusted; the displacement of the rotating screw 8 can be easily controlled through the blind hole 9;
