Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding tooling technology, specifically to a butt welding tooling for welding steel plates of a steel-covered air cushion pressure regulating chamber. Background Technology
[0002] The steel-shrouded air cushion pressure regulating chamber is a pressure regulating structure used in hydropower projects. It is primarily constructed using a combination of a supporting structure and steel plates. Before welding the steel plates to the supporting structure, vertically distributed weldments need to be welded to the surface of the steel plates to form a prefabricated structure. This prefabricated structure is then welded and fixed to the supporting structure to improve the stability of the connection between the steel plates and the supporting structure. Current methods for welding the vertically arranged weldments to the steel plates mostly involve one person holding the weldment, aligning it with the welding position on the steel plate surface, and then controlling the other hand to weld the weldment. Maintaining the verticality of the weldment during welding is difficult and affects the finished prefabricated structure. Therefore, we propose a butt welding fixture for the steel plates of the steel-shrouded air cushion pressure regulating chamber. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a welding fixture for welding steel plates in a steel-covered air cushion pressure regulating chamber, including a workbench 1, the top of the workbench 1 is integrally formed with a fixing groove 2, the fixing groove 2 is used to place the horizontally arranged steel plate, and a fixing mechanism 3 is assembled in the fixing groove 2. The fixing mechanism 3 can simultaneously fix the vertically arranged welding parts and the horizontally arranged steel plate in the fixing groove 2, which facilitates the welding and fixing between the welding parts and the steel plate.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a first fixing frame 31 and a second fixing frame 32. The first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides in the fixing groove 2. By setting two sets of fixing frames, when the length of the steel plate in the fixing groove 2 is too long, the end of the steel plate can be better limited and fixed, thereby enhancing the stability of the steel plate in the fixing groove 2.
[0020] The bottom of the workbench 1 is fixedly equipped with a drive assembly 4 that is connected to the first fixed frame 31 and the second fixed frame 32. The drive assembly 4 can drive the first fixed frame 31 and the second fixed frame 32 to move synchronously, so that the first fixed frame 31 and the second fixed frame 32 move downward along the fixed groove 2 to fix the steel plate in the fixed groove 2.
[0021] The drive assembly 4 includes a hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the workbench 1. The output end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to a lifting frame 42, which is X-shaped. Connecting frames 43 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lifting frame 42. The connecting frames 43 pass through the workbench 1 and are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the first fixed frame 31 and the second fixed frame 32. The hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41 is connected to an external hydraulic control pipeline. The movement of the output end of the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41 is controlled by the external hydraulic control pipeline. The hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41 can drive the lifting frame 42, the connecting frame 43, the first fixed frame 31, and the second fixed frame 32 to move synchronously and limit and fix the steel plate in the fixing groove 2.
[0022] One end of the connecting block 33 is uniformly welded and fixed to the side wall of the first fixing frame 31, and the other end of the connecting block 33 is welded and fixed to the auxiliary support frame 34. The auxiliary support frame 34 is triangular. By setting the auxiliary support frame 34, the perpendicularity between the welded part and the steel plate can be maintained. At the same time, the connecting block 33 can extend the support position of the auxiliary support frame 34 out of the fixing groove 2, which facilitates the subsequent welding.
[0023] like Figure 3As shown, rubber pads 35 are attached to the bottom of the first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32. By setting the rubber pads 35, the friction between the first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32 and the steel plate can be increased, thereby strengthening the limiting and fixing effect of the first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32 on the steel plate.
[0024] A limiting component 5 is installed on the top of the auxiliary support frame 34. The limiting component 5 can further limit and fix the welded parts and the steel plate, thereby improving the accuracy of the position of the welded parts during the welding process.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 5 includes a fixing stud 51, which is welded and fixed to the top of the auxiliary support frame 34. There are at least two fixing studs 51, which are located at the top of the frontmost and rearmost auxiliary support frame 34, respectively. A limiting frame 52 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing stud 51, and a fixing nut 53 is screwed onto the outer wall of the fixing stud 51. The fixing nut 53 and the fixing stud 51 cooperate to limit and fix the limiting frame 52. The limiting frame 52 clamps and fixes the welded parts to the steel plate. The limiting frame 52 can be replaced according to the thickness of the welded parts to be welded in batches. A limiting frame 52 with a suitable size is selected to limit the welded parts.
[0026] The bottom of the workbench 1 is welded and fixed with support frames 6 that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right, and the workbench 1 is supported and fixed by the support frames 6.
[0027] Working principle: When constructing a steel-shrouded air cushion pressure regulating chamber, vertically installed welded components and horizontally installed steel plates need to be pre-welded. Subsequently, the welded steel plates are welded and fixed to the supporting structure inside the pressure regulating chamber, completing the overall construction of the chamber. During the welding operation, the steel plates are inserted into the fixing groove 2. Then, the drive assembly 4 is controlled to move, causing the hydraulic telescopic cylinder 41 to drive the lifting frame 42 and connecting frame 43 downwards. Through the cooperation of the first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32, the steel plate is fixed in the fixing groove 2. At this time, the auxiliary support frame 34 is in contact with the surface of the steel plate. The vertically positioned weldment abuts against the side wall of the auxiliary support frame 34. The auxiliary support frame 34 maintains the perpendicularity between the weldment and the steel plate during the welding process. Then, a limit frame 52 of the corresponding size is selected according to the size of the weldment to be welded in batches. The limit frame 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary support frame 34 by the fixing nut 53 to maintain the stability of the position between the weldment and the steel plate. The weldment can be welded to the surface of the steel plate using a welding gun. After welding, the limit frame 52 is removed, and the first fixing frame 31 and the second fixing frame 32 are controlled to move upward. The welded steel plate is then taken out from the fixing groove 2.
