Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container head processing technology, specifically, to a rotating device suitable for automatic welding of container heads. Background Technology
[0002] An end cap is a component used to seal the end of a container, isolating the internal and external media. Also known as an end cover, cylindrical end caps are generally rotating shells. Based on the shape of their surface, end caps can be classified as convex, conical, flat, and combined types. Convex end caps are those with a convex outer surface, such as hemispherical, elliptical, dished, and edgeless spherical end caps. Some gas cylinders use combined bottom end caps with a convex inward surface, ensuring both strength and safety. End caps are end covers on pressure vessels and are a major pressure-bearing component. Their function is sealing; they form the top and bottom of tank-shaped pressure vessels, and when a pipeline ends and is not intended to extend further, an end cap is used to seal the pipe by welding. Products with similar functions include blind flanges and pipe caps, but these are detachable, while end caps cannot be disassembled once welded. Matching pipe fittings include pressure vessels, pipes, flanges, elbows, tees, and crosses.
