Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of welding special forming, and particularly relates to a gas turbine fairing welding positioning fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to uniformly deliver the compressed air discharged by the compressor to the combustion device at the head of the flame tube, a combustion chamber fairing structure is generally adopted, which makes the airflow flow in the required direction, so as to facilitate ignition and combustion, and enables the combustion to continue. The combustion chamber fairing structure is required to have the characteristics of small flow resistance, simple structure, accurate size, safety, reliability and long service life. The combustion chamber fairing structure is concentrically arranged outside the transition section of the flame tube, so that an annular airflow passage is formed between the flame tube, the transition section and the combustion chamber fairing structure. In the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber fairing structure not only plays a flow regulating role to provide the air required for combustion for the head of the flame tube, but also plays a role of cooling the flame tube. The combustion chamber fairing structure assembly of a certain type of engine needs three single pieces to be welded. During welding, the metal in the heated area near the weld and the weld expands. Since the metal around is relatively cold, the expansion is prevented, and compression stress and plastic shrinkage deformation are easily generated in the welding area, resulting in transverse and longitudinal shrinkage of different degrees. During welding of the assembly, after multiple welding thermal cycle actions, if the welding process parameters are not properly controlled and the local temperature is too high, the surface of the material will be oxidized, the corrosion resistance of the joint will be reduced, and in severe cases, the joint and the nearby base material will be overburned, and the corrosion resistance of the metal will be sharply reduced. During the welding process, under the condition of ensuring the quality of the weld, as small heat input as possible is adopted, and multi-layer and multi-pass welding is adopted, and the temperature between the passes is controlled at a low level. The inner wall of the fairing is easily oxidized due to high temperature, and is seriously blackened on the back, so protective measures should be taken for the inner wall of the fairing before welding. In addition, when the fairing structure is welded as a single piece, a welding fixture is used for positioning, and the welded single piece is fixed in a reliable position, so that the deformation of the parts during assembly and welding is solved, the labor intensity of the welder is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
