[0001] This application relates to the field of welding tooling technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for argon purging protection during welding. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industrial technology in my country, welding technologies for stainless steel and other materials have been widely applied in various fields, mainly due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Stainless steel welding technology achieves atomic bonding by melting stainless steel materials during the welding process, thus connecting the stainless steel materials. This technology is widely used not only in construction, chemical, petroleum, food, and medical fields, but also plays an important role in shipbuilding, vehicles, automobiles, aerospace, and bridge construction.

[0003] In the welding process of stainless steel pipes, shielding gas is usually used to protect the back side of the weld to improve weld quality and reduce the probability of back oxidation. Shielding gas can effectively isolate air and reduce back oxidation. However, when welding stainless steel manifolds to flanges or stainless steel manifolds to branch pipes, the back side of the weld point is located inside the manifold, which presents a situation of limited space, poor gas diffusion, and a significant impact on the physical and mental health of operators. Utility Model Content

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, before welding, the conveying track is first installed inside the stainless steel pipe, and then the conveying trolley is driven to move back and forth on the conveying track. Through the lifting mechanism, the inflation mechanism is raised and lowered vertically, the inflation head is inserted into the welding back hole, the sealing plug and the inner wall of the welding back hole are sealed and abutted, and the protective gas source is turned on, so that the protective gas is delivered to the welding back hole. The device of this application only inflates the welding back hole, which has the effect of saving costs, improving welding efficiency and welding quality compared with the method of full inflation of protective gas. At the same time, it eliminates the need for operators to perform welding operations in a confined space, thus protecting the health of the operators.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] This application discloses a welding argon purging protection auxiliary device.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 A welding argon-filled protective auxiliary device includes a conveying trolley 1, a conveying track 2 that slides and cooperates with the conveying trolley 1, an inflation mechanism 3, and a lifting mechanism 4 installed on the conveying trolley 1 and driving the inflation mechanism 3 to rise and fall. This device is used to fill protective gas into a stainless steel pipe 5 during the welding process. The stainless steel pipe 5 has a plurality of welding back holes 51 evenly spaced along the axial direction for welding branch pipes.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying trolley 1 includes a conveying frame 11, four sets of conveying pulleys 12 rotatably mounted on the conveying frame 11, and a push rod 13 for pushing the conveying trolley 1. The conveying frame 11 is generally rectangular in shape. The conveying pulleys 12 are mounted on one side of the conveying frame 11 along its length and are rotatably engaged with the conveying frame 11 via bearings. A fixing ring 14 is welded and fixed to one side of the conveying frame 11 along its width. The fixing ring 14 has fixing screw holes 141 penetrating both end faces, and the fixing screw holes 141 are parallel to the length direction of the conveying frame 11.

[0039] The conveying track 2 is a double-track structure, which is connected by stainless steel square tubes. The end of the push rod 13 is threaded with a fixed thread, so that the operator can manually pull the push rod 13 to move the conveying trolley 1.

[0040] The lifting mechanism 4 is an existing electric push rod, which is fixed to the top of the conveyor frame 11 with the output shaft arranged vertically.

[0041] The inflation mechanism 3 includes an inflation seat 31 fixed to the output shaft of the lifting mechanism 4, an inflation head 32 disposed on the top of the inflation seat 31, an air supply pipe 33 disposed on the side wall of the inflation seat 31 and communicating with the inflation head 32, and a sealing plug 34 for sealing the welding back hole 51.

[0042] The inflatable base 31 is generally cylindrical, with multiple sets of locking studs 311 and locking nuts 312 threadedly engaged with them fixed to its bottom. The locking studs 311 are fixed by welding. The output shaft of the lifting mechanism 4 is fixed with a mounting plate 41 for mounting the inflatable base 31. The mounting plate 41 has locking through holes 411 that penetrate both end faces and correspond one-to-one with the locking studs 311. The fixed connection between the inflatable base 31 and the mounting plate 41 is achieved through the engagement of the locking studs 311 and the locking nuts 312.

[0043] The inflation head 32 is a vertically arranged hollow tube, and the inflation head 32 and the inflation base 31 are coaxially arranged. Part of the inflation head 32 is inserted into the inflation base 31, and part of it extends out of the top of the inflation base 31. The inflation head 32 and the inflation base 31 can be fixed by means of threads or welding. In this embodiment, the inflation head 32 and the inflation base 31 are fixed by welding.

[0044] The gas supply pipe 33 is fixed at an angle to the side wall of the inflation base 31. One end of the gas supply pipe 33 is connected to the bottom of the inflation head 32, and the other end is connected to a gas source storing protective gas. In this embodiment, the protective gas is argon.

[0045] Reference Figure 4The portion of the inflation head 32 extending out of the inflation base 31 consists of an air supply section 321 and a threaded section 322, arranged vertically from top to bottom. The top of the air supply section 321 is sealed, and its sidewalls are evenly provided with multiple air outlet holes 3211 that communicate with the inner cavity. The threaded section 322 is an external thread provided on the inflation head 32.

[0046] A sealing plug 34, made of rubber, is fitted onto the threaded portion 322 of the inflation head 32. The sealing plug 34 has mounting holes 341 extending through both end faces and allowing the inflation head 32 to pass through. The height of the sealing plug 34 is less than the length of the threaded portion 322, so that after the sealing plug 34 is installed on the inflation seat 31, part of the threaded portion 322 is exposed to the outside. A clamping member 35, threadedly engaged with the threaded portion 322, is mounted on the inflation head 32. The clamping member 35 and the threaded portion 322 cooperate to achieve a fixed connection between the sealing plug 34 and the inflation seat 31. A clamping washer 36 is also provided between the top surfaces of the clamping member 35 and the sealing plug 34 to further improve the clamping stability of the sealing plug 34.

[0047] The sealing plug 34 is shaped like a convex frustum, comprising, from top to bottom, an insertion portion 342 and a sealing portion 343. The outer diameter of the insertion portion 342 is adapted to the inner wall of the welding back hole 51, allowing it to be inserted into the welding back hole 51 and sealed against its inner wall. The outer diameter of the sealing portion 343 is larger than that of the insertion portion 342, enabling it to fit snugly against the inner wall of the stainless steel tube 5, further improving the sealing effect. To facilitate efficient insertion of the insertion portion 342, a guide slope 3421 is provided at the top of the insertion portion 342, so that the inflation head 32 does not need to be completely coaxial with the welding back hole 51 to insert the sealing plug 34, thus improving overall welding efficiency.

[0048] The implementation principle of the welding argon protection auxiliary device in this application embodiment is as follows: First, the conveying track 2 is placed in the stainless steel pipe 5 to be welded, the push rod 13 and the fixing ring 14 are threaded together, and then the push rod 13 is pushed so that the conveying trolley 1 moves on the conveying track 2. When the gas filling mechanism 3 corresponds to the welding back hole 51, the lifting mechanism 4 is activated so that the gas filling head 32 is sealed and inserted into the welding back hole 51. The protective gas is transported along the conveying pipe to the top of the gas filling head 32, and the gas is discharged from the gas outlet 3211 and evenly fills the welding back hole 51.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
