Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power transmission tower technology, and in particular to a tower foot welding positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] The tower legs of a power transmission tower are assembled from several steel plates welded together, including the cross-shaped tower legs and the base plate. Generally, the cross-shaped tower legs are welded first, and then the cross-shaped tower legs are welded to the base plate. Since the structure of the tower legs directly affects the stability and service life of the power transmission tower, the structure of the tower legs must be ensured during welding. Therefore, the position of the base plate needs to be fixed, usually by bolting. Then the cross-shaped tower legs are placed on the base plate and welded. Because the cross-shaped tower legs are welded vertically to the base plate, deformation will occur during welding, which will cause the cross-shaped tower legs to tilt or shift. It is impossible to ensure the perpendicularity of the weld between the cross-shaped tower legs and the base plate, thus affecting the stability of the power transmission tower. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tower foot welding positioning device to improve welding verticality.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the tower leg welding positioning device of this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A tower foot welding positioning device includes a welding platform with a positioning frame above it. The welding platform has a lower positioning component for positioning the tower foot base plate, and the positioning frame has an upper positioning component for positioning the cross-shaped tower foot. The upper positioning component includes four vertically arranged positioning plates, each with a vertically oriented side surface and an L-shaped cross-section. The four positioning plates are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. A cross-shaped positioning channel is formed between the four positioning plates. The cross-shaped tower foot is vertically inserted into the positioning channel, with its side surface contacting the side surface of the positioning plate and its bottom surface contacting the tower foot base plate. Each positioning plate has a clamping cylinder that presses it against the side surface of the cross-shaped tower foot. The four clamping cylinders are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner, with their cylinder barrels horizontally mounted on the positioning frame. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder is connected to the right-angle bend of the positioning plate, and the clamping cylinder drives the positioning plate to move horizontally. The positioning plate has a right angle, and the direction of movement of the positioning plate is the bisector of the right angle.

[0006] Preferably, the lower positioning component includes positioning holes on the welding platform, mounting holes at the four corners of the tower foot base plate, and fasteners passing through the mounting holes and positioning holes for locking.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning frame has four guide seats, each guide seat has two symmetrically arranged guide grooves, which are arranged laterally. One end of the positioning plate is slidably mounted in the guide groove of one of the guide seats, and the other end of the positioning plate is slidably mounted in the guide groove of the adjacent guide seat. The end of the positioning plate can move laterally along the guide groove. The guide grooves guide the movement of the positioning plate, ensuring that the positioning plate moves along the bisector of its right angle.

[0008] Preferably, a support column is provided between the positioning frame and the welding platform, and the support column is located at the four corners of the positioning frame.

[0009] Preferably, a gap is left between the bottom of the positioning plate and the welding platform. By leaving a gap between the bottom of the positioning plate and the welding platform, the weld between the cross-shaped tower feet and the base plate of the tower feet is not obstructed, thus facilitating welding.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. This utility model uses four positioning plates to clamp the cross tower foot. The cross-section of the positioning plate is set in an L shape. The L-shaped structure is matched with the right-angle bend of the cross tower foot. Under the action of the clamping cylinder, the positioning plate clamps the right-angle side of the cross tower foot. At the same time, the pressing force point of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder is the right-angle bend of the positioning plate, thereby pressing the right-angle bend of the cross tower foot. Combined with the pressing of the right-angle side of the cross tower foot, the cross tower foot is always in a vertical state, avoiding the cross tower foot from tilting or displacing during the welding process, and further improving the perpendicularity of the welding between the cross tower foot and the tower foot base plate.

[0012] 2. When operating this utility model, simply place the cross tower feet through the positioning channel onto the tower foot base plate, and then drive the four clamping cylinders to work. It is simple to operate and practical. Attached Figure Description
