[0007] Furthermore, the pad has a U-shaped groove structure, and the top of the pad contacts the inner wall of the casing.

[0008] Furthermore, the height of the sliding pad is higher than that of the accompanying pad.

[0009] Furthermore, the accompanying pad is attached to the thin wall surface of the casing, and a hanging hole is provided at the left end of the upper side of the accompanying pad.

[0010] Furthermore, the pins and reinforcing bars are used in conjunction with the hanging holes, and a square groove is provided at the right end of the upper side of the accompanying pad.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the sliding pad is engaged and limited within the square groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the cotter pin passes through one end of the pin and extends to its exterior.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper side of the sliding pad has a threaded hole that matches the bottom of the threaded rod, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a single-arm support welding fixture for thin-walled engine casings, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This single-arm support welding fixture for thin-walled engine casings is placed inside the casing using accompanying pads. The pads and sliding pads respectively engage with the thick and thin walls of the casing, and the threaded rod is controlled to achieve a stabilizing effect.

[0016] 2. This single-arm support welding fixture for thin-walled engine casings uses a square groove at one end of the accompanying pad to facilitate the rotation of the sliding pad, thereby enabling the threaded rod to be twisted and extended. It also facilitates subsequent installation and disassembly, solving the problem that simple reinforcement to prevent deformation cannot meet the surface quality requirements of thin-walled structures due to the alloy composition requirements and strict requirements on the amount of deformation. In addition, it prevents the L-shaped support fixture from shifting during welding. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a single-arm support welding fixture for thin-walled engine casings, comprising a follower pad 2 snapped into the inside of the casing 1, with a support device on the upper side of the follower pad 2. The support device includes a sliding pad 6 embedded inside the right side of the follower pad 2, a threaded rod 8 threadedly connected to the upper side of the sliding pad 6, a pad 9 snapped into the upper side of the threaded rod 8, a nut 7 threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 8, a reinforcing rod 5 sleeved on the lower outer wall of the threaded rod 8, a pin 3 inserted into the left side of the reinforcing rod 5, and a cotter pin 4 threadedly connected to one side of the pin 3.

[0024] Among them, the pad 9 has a U-shaped groove structure. The top of the pad 9 contacts the inner wall of the casing 1. The height of the sliding pad 6 is higher than that of the accompanying pad 2. The accompanying pad 2 fits against the thin wall surface of the casing 1. A hanging hole is provided on the upper left side of the accompanying pad 2. The pin 3 and the reinforcing rod 5 are used in conjunction with the hanging hole. A square groove is provided on the upper right side of the accompanying pad 2. The outer side of the sliding pad 6 is locked in the square groove for limitation. The cotter pin 4 passes through one end of the pin 3 and extends to its outside.

[0025] It should be noted that the accompanying pad 2 serves to fix the thin wall profile of the casing 1, prevent deformation, and dissipate heat. The sliding pad 6 can be removed from the side wall in a narrow space.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 2 Based on Embodiment 1, it includes a threaded hole on the upper side of the sliding pad 6 that matches the bottom of the threaded rod 8, and the threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded hole can be used to fasten the threaded rod 8.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] Before installation, remove pin 3 and cotter pin 4. Tighten nut 7 to the upper end of threaded rod 8, fully tightening threaded rod 8 and sliding pad 6. Sliding pad 6 increases the height, providing more room for installation and removal. Place the fixture between the two thin walls of housing 1, with pad 9 engaging with the thick wall of housing 1 and sliding pad 6 engaging with the thin wall of housing 1. After the fixture is in the correct position, tighten threaded rod 8 to raise it, causing sliding pad 6 to extend relative to threaded rod 8. Once firmly secured, rotate rib 5 to align with accompanying pad 2, insert pin 3 and secure cotter pin 4. Then tighten nut 7, forcing rib 5 to apply a downward-southward force to accompanying pad 2, ensuring maximum stability under single-arm conditions. Installation is now complete. Disassembly is performed in reverse order.

[0031] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effects can be implemented.
