Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding fixtures, specifically to a welding fixture for positioning refrigeration pipe interfaces. Background Technology
[0002] Refrigeration pipe joint welding refers to the welding process that connects different pipe parts together in a refrigeration system. This process is crucial for ensuring the sealing, stability and overall efficiency of the refrigeration system.
[0003] In the welding process of refrigeration pipe joints, there are generally two main welding methods: moving the welding head and rotating the refrigeration pipe. Rotating the refrigeration pipe means that the welding head remains in a fixed position while the refrigeration pipe rotates during the welding process. This method ensures uniform welding and is suitable for welding large-diameter pipes.
[0004] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: The existing welding fixtures that use the rotating welding method of refrigeration pipes usually have a rotating clamping mechanism that drives the two refrigeration pipes to rotate synchronously and position them for docking. However, this method is only suitable for refrigeration pipes with flat ends. When the ends of the two refrigeration pipes are beveled and need to be positioned for welding, the traditional refrigeration pipe joint positioning welding fixture is difficult to make the two beveled refrigeration pipes rotate along the joint trajectory while keeping the welding gun fixed.
[0005] Therefore, traditional refrigeration pipe interface positioning and welding fixtures have the problem of being unable to rotate and weld angled refrigeration pipes, making it necessary to invent a refrigeration pipe interface positioning and welding fixture. Utility Model Content

The deflection clamping mechanism is used to clamp two sections of refrigeration pipe and to drive the refrigeration pipe to deflect so that the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail.
[0007] Preferably, the deflection clamping mechanism includes an outer frame plate, which is fixedly installed on the side of the slider away from the center of the annular guide rail, and a deflection motor is fixedly installed on the side of the outer frame plate away from the slider.
[0008] Preferably, the output end of the deflection motor near the outer frame plate passes through the outer frame plate and is fixedly mounted with a hydraulic guide rod. The hydraulic guide rod is disposed between the outer frame plate and the slider, and the output end of the deflection motor is connected to the middle of the hydraulic guide rod.
[0009] Preferably, hydraulic slides are fixedly installed at both ends of the hydraulic guide rod, a first-stage hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the side of the hydraulic slide near the center of the annular guide rail, and a first side plate is fixedly installed at the end of the first-stage hydraulic rod away from the hydraulic slide.
[0010] Preferably, the refrigeration pipe is located at the center of the inner side of the annular guide rail, the first side plate is located on the side of the refrigeration pipe closer to the slider, and the second side plate is provided on the side of the refrigeration pipe away from the slider.
[0011] Preferably, a U-shaped plate is fixedly installed between the upper end of the first side plate and the upper end of the second side plate, and a U-shaped plate is also fixedly installed between the lower end of the first side plate and the lower end of the second side plate. The U-shaped plate is arranged on both sides of the refrigeration pipe perpendicular to the first side plate.
[0012] Preferably, a secondary hydraulic rod is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the first side plate near the refrigeration pipe, and a secondary hydraulic rod is also fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the second side plate near the refrigeration pipe. A clamping plate is fixedly installed at the end of the secondary hydraulic rod near the refrigeration pipe.
[0013] Preferably, a gear is rotatably mounted on the side of the slider near the center of the annular guide rail, and a gear motor is fixedly connected to one side of the gear's rotating shaft. The inner wall of the annular guide rail is provided with tooth grooves, and the gear meshes with the tooth grooves.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: two sections of refrigeration pipe are placed inside the annular guide rail and clamped and fixed by a deflection clamping mechanism. Then, the deflection clamping mechanism is activated to drive the refrigeration pipe to deflect, so that the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail. The deflection clamping mechanism is controlled to connect with the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe. Finally, the slider is controlled to slide along the annular guide rail to achieve the effect of driving the joint of the two oblique-cut refrigeration pipes to rotate, which makes it convenient for workers to weld evenly while holding the welding gun in a fixed posture.

The deflection clamping mechanism is used to drive the refrigeration pipe 3 to deflect so that the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail 11.
[0024] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 are placed inside the annular guide rail 11 and clamped and fixed by the deflection clamping mechanism. Then, the deflection clamping mechanism is activated to drive the refrigeration pipe 3 to deflect, so that the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail 11. The deflection clamping mechanism is controlled to connect with the interface of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3.

The output end of the deflection motor 18 near the outer frame plate 17 passes through the outer frame plate 17 and is fixedly installed with a hydraulic guide rod 19. The hydraulic guide rod 19 is located between the outer frame plate 17 and the slider 14. The output end of the deflection motor 18 is connected to the middle of the hydraulic guide rod 19. Hydraulic slides 20 are fixedly installed at both ends of the hydraulic guide rod 19. A primary hydraulic rod 21 is fixedly installed on the side of the hydraulic slide 20 near the center of the annular guide rail 11. The end of the primary hydraulic rod 21 away from the hydraulic slide 20 is fixed... A first side plate 22 is installed, and the refrigeration pipe 3 is located in the center of the inner side of the annular guide rail 11. The first side plate 22 is located on the side of the refrigeration pipe 3 near the slider 14. A second side plate 23 is provided on the side of the refrigeration pipe 3 away from the slider 14. A U-shaped plate 24 is fixedly installed between the upper end of the first side plate 22 and the upper end of the second side plate 23. A U-shaped plate 24 is also fixedly installed between the lower end of the first side plate 22 and the lower end of the second side plate 23. The U-shaped plate 24 is located on both sides of the refrigeration pipe 3 perpendicular to the first side plate 22. A secondary hydraulic rod 25 is fixedly installed at the four corners of the side of the first side plate 22 near the refrigeration pipe 3. A secondary hydraulic rod 25 is also fixedly installed at the four corners of the side of the second side plate 23 near the refrigeration pipe 3. A clamping plate 26 is fixedly installed at the end of the secondary hydraulic rod 25 near the refrigeration pipe 3.
[0027] In the above embodiment, it should be noted that the clamping plate 26 is made of rubber sheet, which has a large surface friction force. The refrigeration pipe 3 is placed between the first side plate 22, the second side plate 23 and the U-shaped plate 24. The secondary hydraulic rod 25 is activated to push the clamping plate 26 to clamp the refrigeration pipe 3. Then, the primary hydraulic rod 21 is controlled to extend and retract to adjust so that the central axis of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 coincides with the center point of the annular guide rail 11. Then, the hydraulic slide 20 is activated to slide at both ends of the hydraulic guide rod 19 to fix the oblique ends of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3. Then, the deflection motor 18 is activated to drive the hydraulic guide rod 19 to rotate, thereby deflecting the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 to achieve the effect of making the interface of the refrigeration pipe 3 parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail 11.
[0028] Example 3
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the refrigeration pipe interface positioning welding fixture includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. In addition, a gear 15 is rotatably installed on the side of the slider 14 near the center of the annular guide rail 11. A gear motor 16 is fixedly connected to the shaft on one side of the gear 15. The inner wall of the annular guide rail 11 is provided with a toothed groove 12, and the gear 15 is meshed with the toothed groove 12.
[0030] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that when the interface of the refrigeration pipe 3 is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail 11, the gear motor 16 is started to drive the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 meshes with the tooth groove 12 to achieve the effect of driving the slider 14 to slide along the annular guide rail 11.

Then, the primary hydraulic rod 21 is controlled to extend and retract to adjust the central axis of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 so that the center point of the annular guide rail 11 coincides with the center point of the annular guide rail 11. Next, the hydraulic slide 20 is activated to slide at both ends of the hydraulic guide rod 19 so that the oblique ends of the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 are joined and fixed. Then, the deflection motor 18 is activated to drive the hydraulic guide rod 19 to rotate, causing the two sections of refrigeration pipe 3 to deflect so that the interface of the refrigeration pipe 3 is parallel to the plane of the annular guide rail 11. Finally, the gear motor 16 is activated to drive the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 meshes with the tooth groove 12, causing the slider 14 to slide along the annular guide rail 11, which has the effect of driving the joint of the two oblique-end refrigeration pipe 3 to rotate. At this time, the worker only needs to hold the welding gun in a fixed posture to evenly weld the two oblique-end refrigeration pipe 3.
