TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of welding technology, especially relates to a fusion welding machine for soluble polytetrafluoroethylene pipe plate. BACKGROUND
[0002] The pipe plate is one of the core components of the glass tube heat exchanger, and is used for fixing the glass tube on both sides. The pipe plate is required to have certain supporting force, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance in the process gas, and needs to be tightly matched with the glass tube. The pipe plate is welded by a porous plate and a tube, and is made of soluble polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA). The pipe plate is required to be firmly welded, have good sealing performance, and have small size deviation after welding. There are two types of conventional PFA welding equipment: hot fusion welding equipment and hot pressure welding equipment.
[0003] The hot fusion welding equipment uses a heat source to heat the PTFE plate to the melting point to form a molten pool, and then different fillers are added to the molten pool for welding. This welding method is suitable for thicker PTFE plates and has higher welding strength, but it requires fillers, and the welding process is complex and the cost is high.
[0004] The hot pressure welding equipment uses the double action of heating and pressure to make the molecules of the plates penetrate and diffuse each other, thereby realizing welding. The hot pressure welding has the advantages of high welding strength and good sealing performance, and does not require filler materials during the welding process, but requires a relatively high welding equipment.
[0005] The PFA pipe plate is welded by a porous plate and a tube, and the tube perpendicular to the porous plate is welded in the inner hole of the porous plate. The outer wall of the tube is welded with the inner hole of the porous plate. The conventional welding equipment is mainly suitable for butt welding or lap welding of "plate and plate" or "tube and tube". Due to the special structure of the PFA pipe plate, the conventional welding equipment is not suitable for welding the pipe plate. The structure and process of the equipment cannot well control the temperature, pressure and cooling time and other parameters, resulting in poor welding, poor sealing performance or large size deviation after welding, etc. quality problems, thereby affecting the service life of the glass tube heat exchanger, and in severe cases, it will cause the equipment to stop running, causing a large loss.

The hanger 15 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 5, and the fixed frame 5 guides the vertical movement of the hanger 15.
[0049] Preferably, the second motor 8 is connected to the second lead screw 18 via a transmission mechanism 7. There are two pressure rods 22, each connected to the heat source core sleeve 21 and the first cylinder 14 respectively. The lower part of the top column assembly 11 is connected to the top rod 10, which is connected to the second cylinder 9. This ensures a stable connection. There are 72 die holes 23, allowing for the insertion of 72 PFA tubes at a time.
[0050] This embodiment describes a method for using a fusion welding machine for soluble polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tubing sheets, which includes the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Activate the second cylinder 9 to push the top column assembly 11 upward, so that the top column enters the mold hole 23 of the lower mold plate 12 and reaches the specified height. Place PFA tubes into all mold holes 23, up to 72 tubes at a time. Place the PFA perforated plate on the lower mold plate 12 according to the position, and press the PFA perforated plate with the pressure plate 13. Push the top column assembly 11 upward to push the PFA tubes upward to the height required for welding.
[0052] Step 2: Adjust the position of the hanger 15, start the hot air gun 17, the hot air rotates under the action of the spiral guide protrusion 28, and then heats the heating part through the hot air outlet. Start the first cylinder 14, adjust the opening and closing size of the gap between the heat source core sleeve 21 and the lower part of the heat source outer sleeve 20 to ensure sufficient hot air density, and locally heat the PFA tube and PFA porous plate to the welding temperature. When the melting state begins to appear, start the second motor 8 to drive the upper mold assembly 19 to move downward, apply vertical pressure to the melting part, and rotate in the tangential direction to achieve spin welding. Then, water cool the pressure plate 13 and the lower mold plate 12 to cool the welding part to the set temperature, and complete the welding of a PFA tube and a PFA porous plate.
[0053] Step 3: After completing the welding of all PFA tubes and PFA perforated plates by repeating step 2, start the first motor 4 to separate the pressure plate 13 from the PFA perforated plate, start the second cylinder 9, and push the tube sheet out of the lower mold plate 12 through the top column assembly 11 to complete the welding of the tube sheet.
