Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water meter processing technology, specifically relating to a water meter pipe fitting processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Water meter manufacturing is a multi-step and technical process. The following is a detailed analysis of the relevant aspects: Cutting: Positioning rings and sealing plates are cut from sheet metal; inlet and outlet pipes are cut from tubing; and the main body of the meter casing is cut from tubing with symmetrical flanged holes on both outer walls, with the flanged holes facing outwards. Welding: After welding the positioning ring to the main body of the meter casing, the inlet and outlet pipes are welded to the main body of the meter casing. Then, the sealing plate is welded to the main body of the meter casing. Grinding: The weld seams between the inlet and outlet pipes, the sealing plate, and the main body of the meter casing are ground sequentially to ensure a smooth and even weld.

[0003] Flanges typically have large diameters and weights, and their surfaces are often uneven, making it difficult for clamps to achieve sufficient stability and clamping force. Uneven distribution of flange connection parts (such as bolt holes) further increases the difficulty of clamping. During processing, it is necessary to ensure the flange remains stationary during cutting, welding, and other operations to prevent workpiece displacement or deformation. The clamping force must be large enough to resist various forces and vibrations generated during processing. Traditional clamps are often simply designed and difficult to adapt to flanges of different shapes and sizes. Their clamping range is limited, making it impossible to clamp flanges of different sizes. Flange dimensions (such as diameter and thickness) may vary depending on the water meter model and specifications. Even flanges of the same model may have differences in the number, size, and distribution of bolt holes. General clamps often use fixed clamping methods and dimensions, making it difficult to adapt to flanges of different sizes. The positioning and clamping elements of the clamp may not be precisely matched with the bolt holes on the flange. Utility Model Content
