Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is an open-type weld joint flame preheater, suitable for flame preheating of small-diameter pipe weld joints that require preheating before welding. It solves the problem of uneven preheating when using a cutting torch. The open-type weld joint preheater can conveniently and efficiently perform preheating of weld joints. Background Technology
[0002] According to the specifications, for alloy steel welds, large and medium diameter pipes are preheated by electric heating, while small diameter pipes are preheated by flame. (The specifications require that when using induction preheating or flame preheating, the preheating width on each side should not be less than three times the pipe wall thickness and not less than 100mm.) Using a cutting torch to heat 100mm of pipe sections on both sides of the weld to the temperature required by the specifications results in uneven preheating and slow preheating speed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model provides an open-type weld joint flame preheater. When preheating the weld joint, the preheater is held tightly by the handle, the open ring is opened and then inserted into the pipe section where the weld joint needs to be preheated. After releasing the wrench, multiple flame nozzles are ignited to preheat along both sides of the weld joint. This solves the problems of high worker skill requirements, low construction efficiency and poor preheating effect of traditional cutting torch flame preheating.
[0004] The device consists of a fixed part, a movable part, a gas supply section, and steel wire ropes assembled together. The fixed part comprises the preheater body and a handle; the movable part is an open ring; and the gas supply section consists of a gas valve, a hose, a tee, and a flame nozzle.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: the device mainly consists of a fixed part, a movable part, a gas supply part, and a steel wire rope.
[0006] Fixed part: This part consists of the preheater body and handle, which are connected by bolts and nuts. The semi-circular part of the preheater body has an internal gas passage for gas to pass through. The straight part has a base for connecting the gas valve on one side and a clamping hole for guiding the wire rope on the other side. The end of the semi-circular part has a slot for connecting the hose. The inner circle of the semi-circular part has four threaded holes for connecting the flame nozzle. The flame nozzle is connected to the internal gas passage. The handle is fixed to the preheater body by the handle fixing bolts and nuts.
[0007] The moving part consists of an open ring, which is connected to the fixed part by bolts and nuts. The open ring has a pre-drilled internal gas passage for gas to pass through and a threaded hole for connecting the hose. The flame nozzle is screwed into the threaded hole to directly connect with the internal gas passage inside the open ring.
[0008] Gas components: gas valve, hose, tee, and flame nozzle.
[0009] The wire rope passes through the clamp holes welded to the fixed part, and the two ends are connected to the handle and the open ring, respectively.
[0010] After the open-type weld joint flame preheater is assembled: open the annular preheater by gripping the handle, insert it into the pipe section that needs to be preheated for welding, open the gas valve, ignite the flame nozzle, move it evenly, heat it to the specified temperature, close the gas valve, grip the wrench, and the preheater can be removed for welding.
[0011] The entire device consists of detachable parts, making it easy to install, remove, and replace parts.
[0012] The structural materials have been optimized multiple times, making it lightweight, durable, easy to operate, and convenient and efficient for preheating weld joints.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This device provides a stable and reliable structure, ensuring that the preheating temperature meets the specified requirements. The device uses a mechanical structure, and operators can be trained and put into operation quickly. It is highly user-friendly and versatile, can be used long-term, is easy to maintain, improves preheating efficiency, and effectively reduces construction costs. This device can rapidly preheat weld joints, accelerate construction progress, save energy consumption, and meets national green construction requirements, demonstrating good technical and economic benefits and significant value for widespread application.
