[0002] The vacuum bellows is usually made of metal or non-metal materials, and its main structure includes a bellows body, a connecting flange or a joint, etc. The bellows body is composed of a series of corrugated thin-walled metal pipes or plastic pipes, and these corrugations can increase the flexibility and stretchability of the pipes. During the welding process of the bellows and the port flange, the flange and the bellows need to be fixed and then welded.
[0003] A corrugated pipe welding device is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN215615960U, which fixes the welding ring and the corrugated pipe by means of a first clamp and a second clamp. The second clamp has a clamping piece, and the chuck on the clamping piece can drive the corrugated pipe and the welding ring to be clamped and connected, thereby positioning the corrugated pipe.
[0004] With respect to the above-mentioned related technology, a large amount of heat will be generated during long-term welding work. If the tool for fixing the corrugated pipe and the welding ring flange cannot effectively dissipate heat, it may be deformed due to thermal expansion. This deformation will further affect the positioning effect and welding quality of the corrugated pipe. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, the piston rod of the driving cylinder is extended and retracted to drive the clamping jaw to open and close, so as to clamp and move the to-be-welded corrugated pipe. Manual clamping of the staff is not needed, the work efficiency is improved, and the staff is prevented from being too close to the welding position, so that the safety is guaranteed.
[0017] Optionally, a motor is arranged on the fixing seat, and the motor is connected with the support frame.
[0018] By adopting the technical scheme, the support frame can slowly rotate by the motor, and the speed is controlled to be uniform, so as to prevent defects such as lack of welding caused by too fast speed.
[0019] Optionally, a fixing ring for fixing the sprinkling pipe is arranged on the fixing seat, a screw is threadedly connected with the side wall of the fixing ring, and the bottom of the screw abuts against the pipe wall of the sprinkling pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-4 The present application will be further described in detail.

A bolt 5 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the fixed ring 4. The stability of the water spraying pipe 3 is ensured by screwing the bolt 5 and abutting the bolt 5 against the side wall of the water spraying pipe 3, and the water spraying pipe 3 is conveniently disassembled. The problem of equipment deformation caused by heat generated during long-time welding is prevented by spraying water to cool.
[0033] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support assembly comprises a support frame 6, and the water spraying pipe 3 is arranged towards the support frame. The support frame 6 is rotationally connected to the fixed seat 2, one end of the fixed seat 2 away from the support frame 6 is provided with a motor 16, the output shaft of the motor 16 is connected to the support frame 6, one end of the support frame 6 close to the fixed seat 2 is provided with a convex ring 7, and a rubber ring is arranged outside the support frame 6. During welding, the bottom of the welding ring flange is in contact with the convex ring 7, and the inner side of the welding ring flange is in contact with the rubber ring, so that the stability and anti-skid effect of the welding ring flange during placement are improved.
[0034] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In order to effectively drain the cooling water in the water spraying cooling process, a drainage hole 8 for draining water is formed on the workbench 1, the surrounding of the drainage hole 8 is funnel-shaped, and the top of the drainage hole is lower than the surface of the workbench 1. A horizontal rod 9 for placing the to-be-welded bellows is arranged on the workbench 1, the horizontal rod 9 is fixed to the workbench 1 through a vertical stand plate 10, and the horizontal rod is used for placing the to-be-welded bellows.
[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A support 11 is arranged along the length direction of the workbench 1, a rodless cylinder 12 is arranged on the support 11, a clamping assembly for clamping the to-be-welded bellows is arranged on the sliding block of the rodless cylinder 12, the clamping assembly comprises a driving cylinder 13, the driving cylinder 13 is vertically arranged, and the bottom of the driving cylinder 13 is provided with a clamping jaw 14, the clamping jaw 14 comprises two symmetrically arranged clamping rods (not marked in the figure), and the end of the clamping rod is provided with an arc-shaped structure matched with the shape of the to-be-welded bellows. The piston rod of the driving cylinder 13 is used for driving the two clamping rods to open and close for clamping. After the to-be-welded bellows is clamped, the to-be-welded bellows is moved through the sliding block of the rodless cylinder 12, so that the automatic clamping and positioning of the to-be-welded bellows are realized, and the welding precision and efficiency are improved.

[0037] The implementation principle of the welding tool for the vacuum bellows is as follows: before welding, the welding ring flange is placed on the supporting rod, so that one end of the welding ring flange abuts against the convex ring 7. At the same time, the to-be-welded bellows is sleeved on the cross rod 9. The driving cylinder 13 controls the opening and closing of the clamping jaw 14 and clamps the to-be-welded bellows. At this time, the rodless cylinder 12 moves, driving the to-be-welded bellows to approach and abut against the welding ring flange. At this time, welding is performed. When the welding point of the to-be-welded bellows and the welding ring flange is welded, the motor rotates, driving the supporting frame to rotate slowly. At this time, the to-be-welded bellows can rotate with the welding ring flange. After one rotation, the welding is completed.
[0038] When the welding is performed for a period of time, in order to prevent the temperature of the supporting rod from being too high due to welding, causing deformation and affecting the welding effect. Start the water pump, the water spraying pipe 3 flows out cooling water, and the cooling water is splashed to the supporting rod, accelerating the heat dissipation of the supporting rod, reducing the possibility of deformation of the supporting rod due to heating, and ensuring the welding quality. At the same time, the cooling water flows into the water tank 15 along the drain groove 15.
[0039] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
