DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application; based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present application provides a technical solution: a flange centering tool, comprising a flange 1, a flange eyelet fixing ruler 2, and a right angle ruler 10, the outer wall of the flange 1 is provided with a flange bolt hole 101, and the outer wall of the flange 1 is provided with a three-way rear pipeline 102.

[0025] The flange eyelet fixing ruler 2 is composed of a horizontal ruler 201, a vertical ruler 202, and a fixed positioning block 203.

[0026] The top outer wall of the flange eyelet fixing ruler 2 is provided with a sliding groove one 3 and a sliding groove two 6, the outer wall of the sliding groove one 3 is slidingly connected with a moving positioning block 4, the outer wall of the fixed positioning block 203 and the moving positioning block 4 are both provided with an adjusting groove 5, the inner wall of the adjusting groove 5 is penetratingly provided with a positioning bolt 8, the outer wall of the positioning bolt 8 is threadedly connected with a locking block 9, the positioning bolt 8 is penetratingly provided in the flange bolt hole 101, and the inner wall of the sliding groove two 6 is slidingly connected with a cross laser level positioning instrument 7.

[0027] Among them, the line connected by the centers of the two flange bolt holes 101 is the center connecting line.

[0028] Among them, the horizontal ruler 201, the vertical ruler 202, and the fixed positioning block 203 are integrally formed.

[0029] Among them, the adjusting groove 5 penetrates the fixed positioning block 203 and the moving positioning block 4, and the adjusting groove 5 is a strip-shaped.

[0030] Among them, the locking block 9 abuts against the outer wall of the flange 1 after being tightened.

[0031] In this implementation scheme, flange bolt holes 101 are selected and the center connection line is determined. On the flange 1 to be assembled, two adjacent flange bolt holes 101 are selected, and the line connecting the centers of these two flange bolt holes 101 is the center connection line. The flange eye fixing ruler 2 is adjusted and fixed. Since the movable positioning block 4 is slidably connected on the slide groove 3, the distance between the movable positioning block 4 and the fixed positioning block 203 can be adjusted by moving the movable positioning block 4 on the slide groove 3, so that the two are aligned with the two selected adjacent flange bolt holes 101 respectively. Both the fixed positioning block 203 and the movable positioning block 4 are provided with strip-shaped adjustment grooves 5. The positioning bolt 8 is passed through the adjustment groove 5 and inserted into the corresponding flange bolt hole 101. Then, the locking block 9 is tightened on the positioning bolt 8 so that it abuts against the outer wall of the flange 1, thereby firmly installing the flange eye fixing ruler 2 on the flange 1, while ensuring that the flange eye fixing ruler 2 is parallel to the center connection line of the two bolt holes.

[0032] Open the cross laser level 7, which is installed in the slide groove 2 6 and can be slidably adjusted, and make it emit a cross laser beam. Use measuring tools such as a ruler to observe the positional relationship between the cross laser beam and the center line of another flange, the pipe 102 after the tee, and the pipe after the elbow. If the beam is parallel to these components, it indicates that the assembled flange is a positive flange; if it is not parallel, it indicates that the flange is misaligned.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] This embodiment is a further optimization of Embodiment 1. Based on Embodiment 1, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, a placement groove 11 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the flange eye fixing ruler 2. The shape of the placement groove 11 is the same as that of the flange eye fixing ruler 2. The right angle ruler 10 is snapped into the placement groove 11. The bottom outer wall of the flange eye fixing ruler 2 is rotatably connected to a limiting plate 12. After the limiting plate 12 rotates to be perpendicular to the placement groove 11, it limits and fixes the right angle ruler 10.

[0035] In this embodiment, after the right-angle ruler 10 is used, it is re-snap into the placement slot 11, and the limiting plate 12 is rotated to make it perpendicular to the placement slot 11, thereby limiting and fixing the right-angle ruler 10 for the next use.

[0036] Working principle: the flange eye fixed ruler 2 is fixed in two adjacent flange bolt holes 101 of the flange 1 by the flange bolt holes 101, and the flange eye fixed ruler 2 is parallel to the center connecting line of the two flange bolt holes 101, then the cross laser horizontal positioner 7 on the flange eye fixed ruler 2 is opened, the cross laser horizontal positioner 7 emits cross laser rays, at this time, the straightedge 10 can be used for measurement, whether it is parallel, if the rays are parallel to the other flange center line, three-way pipe, elbow pipe, it can prove that the flange of the group is a positive flange, if it is not parallel, the error can be adjusted according to the measurement until the rays are parallel to it.

[0037] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
