Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange processing technology, and in particular to a processing fixture that facilitates flange replacement. Background Technology

[0002] Flanges are a common type of mechanical connector, typically used for pipe connections, and are particularly widely used in high-pressure pipe connections. The manufacturing process of flanges usually involves fixing a disc on a workbench and then drilling, grinding, polishing, and other processes to form the common flange.

[0003] In the existing flange processing process, the flange needs to be fixed first. However, when replacing the flange after processing, the flange center positioning step needs to be repeated to avoid misalignment between the flange center and the center of the processing tooling. Some flanges are large in size and heavy in weight, making it impossible to quickly position the flange, which wastes a lot of manpower and resources.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a machining tool that facilitates flange replacement and solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 A machining tooling for easy flange replacement, comprising:

[0023] The system comprises a base 1, a turntable 2, a drive motor 3, multiple adjustment components 4, and multiple position limiting blocks 5. The base 1 has a mounting groove 10 in the middle, the drive motor 3 is installed in the mounting groove 10 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 2, the turntable 2 has multiple adjustment grooves 20, the multiple adjustment components 4 are movably connected in the adjustment grooves 20, and the position limiting blocks 5 are located on the turntable 2 and are fixedly connected to the adjustment components 4.

[0024] The turntable 2 is driven by a drive motor 3 connected to the base 1, thereby rotating the flange for processing. Multiple position limiting blocks 5 and multiple adjusting components 4 are used to fix the flange. This method allows for quick initial positioning of the flange during replacement. Specifically, the position limiting blocks 5 are adjusted so that the diameter of the circle they form is slightly larger than the flange diameter. The diameter difference can be adjusted according to the actual situation. If the flange diameter is small and the flange swings little or not at all during replacement, the diameter difference can be controlled within a small range, such as 1mm or 2mm, as long as it does not affect the replacement process. If the flange diameter is large and the replacement process even requires crane lifting, the diameter difference can be controlled within a larger range, such as 10mm or even larger, to ensure that the flange is not bumped during lifting. Under these conditions, the position of the position limiting blocks 5 does not need any adjustment each time the flange is replaced; simply ensuring that the flange is firmly placed on the position limiting blocks 5 is sufficient to ensure initial flange fixation.

[0025] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 4 includes a screw 40, a slider 41, and an adjustment handle 42. The slider 41 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove 20. One end of the screw 40 is fitted with a clearance fit on the side wall of the adjustment groove 20 near the center of the turntable 2, and the other end passes through the slider 41 and the side wall of the adjustment groove 20 away from the center of the turntable 2 and is fixedly connected to the adjustment handle 42. The slider 41 is threadedly connected to the screw 40.

[0026] Specifically, the position limiting block 5 is trapezoidal and is fixedly connected to the slider 41, and the side wall of the position limiting block 5 at the step is provided with anti-slip texture 50;

[0027] In this utility model, the screw 40 and the slider 41 are connected by a thread for adjustment. When the screw 40 is rotated in the adjustment groove 20 by the adjustment handle 42, the slider 41 cannot rotate because the rotation is restricted by the adjustment groove 20. Therefore, the slider 41, together with the position limiting block 5 fixedly connected to it, will move about the screw 40 as the axis, thereby completing the displacement adjustment of multiple position limiting blocks 5.

[0028] Considering that there is a large gap between the position limiting block 5 and the flange when fixing the flange by simply adjusting the displacement of the position limiting block 5 for the screw 40, although the flange processing allows for a certain error, further position locking of the flange is required for more precise control of the processing quality. Specifically, the protruding part of the position limiting block 5 is provided with a threaded through hole 51, and at least one of the position limiting blocks 5 is provided with a locking rod 510 threadedly connected to the threaded through hole 51. The locking rod 51 has a locking head 511 fixedly connected to the end near the center of the turntable 2, and a locking handle 512 detachably connected to the end away from the center of the turntable 2. After the flange is initially fixed in position, fine adjustment is required to ensure that the center of the flange coincides with the center of the turntable 2. Therefore, a threaded through hole 51 is provided on the position limiting block 5, and a locking rod 51 threadedly connected to a portion of the threaded through hole 51 of the position limiting block 5 is provided. By adjusting the locking rod 51, the locking head 511 is driven to contact the flange curved surface, and the flange is fixed.

[0029] Considering that the turntable 2 has a large diameter and is made of metal, it is heavy in practical applications. The drive motor 3 not only needs to provide driving force for the rotation of the turntable 2, but also needs to support the turntable 2 to ensure that there is a gap between the turntable 2 and the base 1. Under this condition, the drive motor 3 has a large workload and is prone to failure. Therefore, other methods are needed to assist the drive motor 3. Specifically, the top surface of the base 1 is provided with a plurality of recesses 11, which are arranged in a ring. The recesses 11 are provided with auxiliary balls 110 that are intermittently engaged with them. The recesses 11 and auxiliary balls 110 provided on the base 1 can share the weight of the turntable 2 without affecting the rotation of the turntable 2.

[0030] Considering that the center of the flange needs to be checked and adjusted each time the flange is replaced for processing, in order to ensure that the center of the flange overlaps with the center of the turntable 2, specifically, the turntable 2 is provided with a positioning groove 21 at its circular part, and a positioning protrusion 210 fixedly connected to it is provided in the positioning groove 21, and a positioning component 6 detachably connected to it is provided on the positioning protrusion 210.

[0031] Specifically, the positioning component 6 includes a positioning sleeve 60, a positioning rod 61, and a locking pin 62. The positioning sleeve 60 is sleeved on the positioning protrusion 210. The positioning rod 61 passes through the upper end of the curved side wall of the positioning sleeve 60 and is clearance-fitted with it. One end of the locking pin 62 passes through the top surface of the positioning sleeve 60 and contacts the positioning rod 61. The locking pin 62 is threadedly connected to the positioning sleeve 60.

[0032] Specifically, the positioning rod 61 is provided with marking scale.

[0033] When changing flanges of different specifications and positioning is required, first adjust the positioning component 6 according to the inner diameter of the flange, loosen the locking pin 62, and adjust the relative position of the positioning rod 61 and the positioning sleeve 60 according to the markings on the positioning rod 61 so that the longer end of the positioning rod 61 is the same as the inner diameter of the flange. Then, put the sleeve 60 on the positioning protrusion 210 in the positioning groove 21, and then rotate it one revolution around the positioning protrusion 210. During this process, the process of the positioning rod 61 rotating along the inner wall of the flange is the initial position adjustment process of the flange. After the initial position of the flange is determined, adjust the position limiting block 5 in sequence to make it contact the outer wall of the flange to complete the positioning of the flange.

[0034] When replacing a flange of the same specification, after the flange is placed on the position limiting block 5, the pre-adjusted positioning component 6 is used to rotate one revolution around the positioning protrusion 210. If there is a noticeable obstruction during the contact with the inner wall of the flange, it means that the flange placement position has deviated from the predetermined position. The flange position can be adjusted at that point. In order to avoid the positioning rod 61 scratching the inner wall of the flange during the calibration process, the side of the positioning rod 61 that contacts the flange is set to be arc-shaped.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
