Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding equipment technology, specifically relating to an automatic welding device for pipelines in water conservancy and hydropower projects. Background Technology
[0002] During the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects, pipes are connected by welding. Initially, manual welding was used, which was inefficient and the weld quality was greatly affected by the experience of the construction workers, resulting in inconsistent weld quality. Later, welding equipment was developed to replace manual welding, improving both efficiency and the stability of weld quality.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN222243225U discloses a water conservancy pipeline welding device, which can synchronously drive two water conservancy pipelines on the left and right sides to move inwards, so as to achieve a tight connection at the joint of the two water conservancy pipelines. It is more convenient and faster than manual subsequent adjustment. However, it uses a positioning plate to clamp and fix the pipeline, which is not convenient to rotate the pipeline and makes it difficult to achieve circumferential welding on the outside of the pipeline.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic welding device for water conservancy and hydropower engineering pipelines that can achieve a tight connection at the joint of two water conservancy pipelines, while facilitating the rotation of the pipelines to realize external circumferential welding and improve welding efficiency, in order to solve the current technical problems.

The two sets of friction rollers above the fixed bracket and the movable bracket are coaxially driven by a drive shaft. A drive motor for driving the drive shaft to rotate is disposed at the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0011] A guide rod is vertically fixed to the top of the lifting plate, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the top of the support frame. A baffle is fixed to the top of the guide rod.
[0012] The lifting plate has an opening that cooperates with the welding mechanism.
[0013] The welding mechanism has a welder, and a Z-axis driving component is provided on one side of the welder to drive it to move along the Z-axis direction. An X-axis driving component is provided on one side of the Z-axis driving component to drive the welder to move along the X-axis direction.
[0014] The top of the base frame is symmetrically provided with two slide rails, and the bottom of the movable bracket is fixedly provided with a slider that is slidably connected to the slide rails.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (2) After the two pipes are connected, the lifting adjustment mechanism drives the lifting plate to move down, so that the friction drive mechanism abuts against the outside of the pipe. The friction drive mechanism drives the two pipes to rotate synchronously. In conjunction with the welding structure, it realizes automatic ring welding of the outside of the pipe to replace manual welding and improves welding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the automatic welding device for pipelines in water conservancy and hydropower projects includes a base frame 1. Two corresponding support frames 2 are fixedly mounted on the base frame 1. A movable bracket 3 is slidably mounted on the base frame 1. A fixed bracket 11 is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the base frame 1. A hydraulic cylinder 4, which drives the movable bracket 3 to reciprocate, is mounted on the other end of the base frame 1. A lifting adjustment mechanism 7 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 2. A lifting plate 5 is mounted at the bottom of the lifting adjustment mechanism 7. The lifting adjustment mechanism 7 drives the lifting plate 5 to move up and down. A welding mechanism 6 is mounted on the lifting plate 5. A welding mechanism 6 is mounted at the bottom of the lifting plate 5 to drive the pipe 9 above the fixed bracket 11 and the movable bracket 3. The friction drive mechanism 8 rotates in a step-by-step manner. In this embodiment, when welding two pipes 9, the two pipes 9 are placed on the top of the fixed bracket 11 and the movable bracket 3, respectively. The movable bracket 3 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 4 to slide along the base frame 1, so as to achieve a tight connection at the joint of the two water pipes 9. After the two pipes 9 are joined, the lifting adjustment mechanism 7 drives the lifting plate 5 to move down, so that the friction drive mechanism 8 abuts against the outside of the pipes 9, pressing and fixing the two pipes 9. The friction drive mechanism 8 drives the two pipes 9 to rotate synchronously. With the help of the welding structure, the automatic ring welding of the outside of the pipes is achieved, which replaces manual welding and improves the welding efficiency.
[0023] In some embodiments, the friction drive mechanism 8 has two sets of friction rollers 81 rotatably disposed at the bottom of the lifting plate 5, corresponding to the fixed bracket 11 and the movable bracket 3 respectively. The two sets of friction rollers 81 above the fixed bracket 11 and the movable bracket 3 are coaxially driven by the drive shaft 82. The bottom of the lifting plate 5 is provided with a drive motor 83 that drives the drive shaft 82 to rotate. When the drive motor 83 is powered on, it drives the drive shaft 82 to rotate. When the drive shaft 82 rotates, it drives the two sets of friction rollers 81 above the fixed bracket 11 and the movable bracket 3 to rotate synchronously, which can drive the two pipes 9 to rotate synchronously, realizing automatic ring welding of the outside of the pipes instead of manual welding. Specifically, the outer side of the friction rollers 81 is fitted with anti-slip sleeves to increase the friction between the friction rollers 81 and the outside of the pipes 9.
[0024] In some embodiments, the top fixed frame of the support frame 2 is provided with a portal frame 51, and the lifting adjustment mechanism 7 is provided on the portal frame 51. The portal frame 51 is used to provide stable support for the lifting adjustment mechanism 7.
[0025] In some embodiments, the lifting adjustment mechanism 7 has a screw 72 that is threadedly connected to the portal frame 51. A handle 73 is fixedly provided at the top of the screw 72. By rotating the screw 72 through the handle 73, the threaded structure between the screw and the portal frame 51 cooperates to drive the screw 72 to move the lifting plate 5 up and down.
[0026] In some embodiments, a guide rod 71 is vertically fixedly provided on the top of the lifting plate 5. The guide rod 71 is slidably connected to the top of the support frame 2. A baffle 74 is fixedly provided on the top of the guide rod 71. The lifting plate 5 slides in cooperation with the support frame 2 through the guide rod 71, thereby improving the stability of the lifting plate 5.
[0027] In some embodiments, the lifting plate 5 is provided with a clearance opening 52 that cooperates with the welding mechanism 6, and the clearance opening 52 provides space for the welding mechanism 6 to weld the pipe 9.
[0028] In some embodiments, the welding mechanism 6 has a welder 61, a Z-axis drive component 62 for driving the welder 61 to move along the Z-axis direction is provided on one side of the welder 61, and an X-axis drive component 63 for driving the welder 61 to move along the X-axis direction is provided on one side of the Z-axis drive component 62. The Z-axis drive component 62 is used to adjust the distance between the welder 61 and the weld, and the X-axis drive component 63 is used to drive the welder 61 to move along the axial direction of the pipe 9 so that the welder 61 corresponds to the weld. Specifically, both the Z-axis drive component 62 and the X-axis drive component 63 are linear modules.
[0029] In some embodiments, two slide rails 12 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base frame 1, and a slider 31 that is slidably connected to the slide rails 12 is fixedly arranged on the bottom of the movable bracket 3.
