Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of welding equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a pressure vessel circumferential weld device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of pressure vessels, circumferential welding is a key process with extremely high requirements for welding quality and efficiency. As pressure-bearing equipment, the welding quality of pressure vessels is directly related to the safety and reliability of the equipment. Currently, when welding and assembling pressure vessels, two sets of clamps of the welding device are used to position and clamp different cylindrical parts. After the cylindrical parts are spliced and positioned, the circumferential weld is then processed.
[0003] When the existing pressure vessel circumferential welder is in use, the two sets of positioning clamps are not controlled synchronously, which makes it difficult to ensure the alignment and fixation of the welded parts. This leads to deviations during the welding process and affects the welding quality. At the same time, due to the asynchronous control of the two sets of clamps, the clamps need to be adjusted frequently during the welding process, which increases the operation time and labor intensity, reduces welding efficiency, and has poor practicality.

Under the control of the clamping mechanism, the positioning component can realize the synchronous clamping and releasing control of the internal clamping mechanisms of the two sets of seat mechanisms. It is convenient and flexible to use, and quick and easy to adjust, which improves the welding and assembly efficiency of pressure vessels. At the same time, the distance between the two sets of seat mechanisms can be adjusted by the displacement mechanism, so as to adapt to the positioning, fixing and welding assembly operations of pressure vessels of different specifications. Under the positioning action of the clamping mechanism, the two cylinders of the pressure vessel can be accurately spliced, resulting in high processing quality and strong flexibility, adaptability, stability and practicality.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0022] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0023] Example 1: This utility model provides a pressure vessel circumferential weld device, including a base assembly 1 and a positioning assembly. The base assembly 1 consists of a mounting base 101, a displacement mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The displacement mechanism includes a displacement screw 102 and a displacement motor 103, and the clamping mechanism includes a main control rod 104 and a clamping motor 105. The displacement screw 102 is rotatably connected inside the mounting base 101, and the displacement motor 103 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 101. The rotating shaft of the displacement motor 103 is drivenly connected to one end of the displacement screw 102. The main control rod 104 is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting base 101, and the clamping motor 105 is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting base 101. The rotating shaft of the clamping motor 105 is drivenly connected to one end of the main control rod 104. Positioning The assembly consists of a base mechanism 2 and a clamping mechanism 3. The base mechanism 2 has two sets, each including a clamping seat 201, a release screw 202, and a synchronizing gear 203. The clamping seat 201 of one set of base mechanisms 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 101, and the clamping seat 201 of the other set of base mechanisms 2 is inserted into the top of the mounting base 101. The release screw 202 is rotatably connected inside the clamping seat 201, and the synchronizing gear 203 is rotatably connected inside the clamping seat 201. The clamping mechanism 3 includes a clamping arm 301 and a centering wheel 302. The clamping arm 301 is inserted into the clamping seat 201, and the release screw 202 is screwed into the clamping arm 301 through a rod thread. The centering wheel 302 is rotatably connected inside the clamping arm 301.
[0024] In this embodiment, the displacement screw 102 is screwed onto the bottom of the clamping seat 201 inserted into the mounting base 101 via a screw thread. In use, the positioning component and the displacement mechanism work together to adjust the spacing between the two clamping seats 201, thus adapting to the rapid positioning and splicing operation of pressure vessel cylinders of different specifications and lengths. It is convenient and flexible to use. When the displacement motor 103 rotates, it can drive the displacement screw 102 to rotate. When the displacement screw 102 rotates, it can drive the clamping seat 201 that is threadedly engaged with it to move via the screw thread, thereby changing the spacing between the two clamping seats 201. It can be adjusted according to the actual needs of pressure vessel welding and processing, and has a strong adaptability.
[0025] In this embodiment, each clamping seat 201 is provided with two sets of clamping mechanisms 3, and the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 inside the same clamping seat 201 are symmetrical to each other. In use, the positioning component and the loosening mechanism work together to achieve synchronous loosening control of the clamping mechanisms 3 inside the two clamping seats 201, thereby facilitating the rapid positioning and fixing between the two cylinders of the pressure vessel for subsequent circumferential welding operations. When the loosening motor 105 rotates, it can drive the main control rod 104 to rotate synchronously. The cross-section of the middle rod of the main control rod 104 is a regular polygon, and the synchronous gear 203 is provided with a drive groove 2031 inside. The rod part of the regular polygon cross-section of the main control rod 104 is inserted into the drive groove 2031. 04 When rotating, the rod with its regular polygonal cross-section can drive the two synchronous gears 203 of the two sets of seat mechanisms 2 to rotate synchronously through the drive groove 2031. The side of the rod of the release screw 202 is provided with a release gear 2021, and the gear teeth of the release gear 2021 and the synchronous gear 203 mesh and drive each other. Thus, when the synchronous gear 203 rotates, it can drive the release screw 202 to rotate through the release gear 2021. When the release screw 202 rotates, it can drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 inside the clamping seat 201 to move synchronously and in opposite directions through the rod thread, thereby realizing the release operation of the pressure vessel cylinder. Moreover, the synchronous release control of the clamping mechanisms 3 inside the two clamping seats 201 is convenient to use, quick to install and dismantle, and improves work efficiency.
[0026] In this embodiment, each clamping arm 301 is provided with two centering wheels 302 inside, and the two centering wheels 302 on the same clamping arm 301 are on the same vertical line. In use, the centering wheels 302 can ensure that the two spliced cylinders of the pressure vessel are on the same axis, thereby improving the quality of the circumferential weld of the pressure vessel. After the positioning component positions the cylinder of the pressure vessel, the cylinder will be between the centering wheels 302. Thus, under the abutment and support of the centering wheels 302, the two spliced cylinders of the pressure vessel will be on the same axis, which facilitates the subsequent splicing positioning and circumferential weld operations, and is flexible and convenient to use.
[0027] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0028] In this invention, the coordinated use of the positioning component and the clamping release mechanism enables synchronous clamping and release control of the clamping mechanisms 3 inside the two clamping seats 201, thereby facilitating rapid positioning and fixing between the two cylinders of the pressure vessel for subsequent circumferential welding operations. When the clamping release motor 105 rotates, it drives the main control rod 104 to rotate synchronously. When the main control rod 104 rotates, its polygonal cross-section rod can drive the two synchronous gears 203 of the two sets of seat mechanisms 2 to rotate synchronously through the drive groove 2031. Thus, when the synchronous gears 203 rotate, they can drive the clamping release screw 202 to rotate through the clamping release gear 2021. When the clamping release screw 202 rotates, it can drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms 3 inside the clamping seat 201 to move synchronously and in opposite directions through the thread of the rod, thereby realizing the clamping and release operation of the pressure vessel cylinder. Moreover, the synchronous clamping and release control of the clamping mechanisms 3 inside the two clamping seats 201 allows for quick installation and disassembly. The coordinated use of the positioning component and the displacement mechanism enables the adjustment of the two clamping seats 201. 1. The spacing function allows for rapid positioning and splicing of pressure vessel cylinders of different specifications and lengths, offering convenience and flexibility. When the displacement motor 103 rotates, it drives the displacement screw 102 to rotate. The displacement screw 102, through its threaded rod, moves the clamping seat 201 that is threaded with it, thus changing the spacing between the two clamping seats 201. This spacing can be adjusted according to the actual needs of pressure vessel welding. The centering wheel 302 ensures that the two spliced cylinders of the pressure vessel are on the same axis, improving the quality of the circumferential weld. After the positioning assembly positions the cylinder of the pressure vessel, the cylinder will be positioned between the centering wheels 302. Through the resistance and support of the centering wheels 302, the two spliced cylinders of the pressure vessel will be on the same axis, facilitating subsequent splicing positioning and circumferential weld operations. After the two cylinders of the pressure vessel are spliced and positioned, circumferential weld operations can be performed on the spliced parts.
