Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange leveling technology, and in particular to a flange sealing surface leveling device. Background Technology
[0002] A flange, also called a flange plate or flange, is a part used to connect shafts to each other. It is used for connecting pipe ends, and also for connecting two pieces of equipment at the inlet and outlet. A flange has several bolt holes, and bolts are used to tightly connect two flanges together, forming a sealed channel between the pipes or equipment, thus serving the functions of connection, sealing and fixing.
[0003] Over time and with the continuous operation of equipment, flange sealing surfaces are prone to problems such as wear, scratches, and corrosion. This not only leads to a decline in sealing performance and causes media leakage, but may also pose safety hazards and seriously threaten the stable operation of production. At this time, a flange sealing surface repair device is needed.
[0004] Traditional flange leveling usually involves using an angle grinder. Since flanges are fixed with multiple bolts, especially equipment flanges which are often welded, disassembly requires removing the flange, which is a cumbersome and time-consuming process. This does not allow for quick flange maintenance. Furthermore, manual grinding cannot restore the water ripple pattern on the flange sealing surface during leveling, affecting the sealing effect and incurring high costs. This reduces the practicality of the device and fails to meet the needs of users. Utility Model Content

A slider is threaded to the outside of the lead screw. A tool holder is provided on the front side of the slider. A cutter head is provided in the middle of the front side of the tool holder.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The top of the support plate is provided with a fixing piece, and the inner size of the slot matches the size of the card block.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The top of the fixing plate is threaded with multiple bolts at equal intervals, and the bottom ends of the multiple bolts all penetrate the fixing plate and are threadedly connected to the slider.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a flange sealing surface leveling device, comprising a rectangular cover 1, a first support block 3 fixedly connected to the rear right end of the rectangular cover 1, a connecting rod 4 rotatably connected to the right side of the first support block 3, a first gear 5 fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting rod 4 passing through the first support block 3, the connecting rod 4 driving the first gear 5 to rotate, a spring 6 provided at the outer left end of the connecting rod 4, and a locking gear 7 fixedly connected to the middle left side of the first gear 5, the locking gear 7 rotating with the first gear 5, driving the first gear 5 to rotate, and the left and right sides of the rear wall of the rectangular cover 1 are fixedly connected to... A second support block 8 is connected to each of the two adjacent second support blocks 8, and each is rotatably connected to the same transmission rod 9. The left and right ends of the transmission rod 9 pass through the corresponding second support block 8. A gear sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the transmission rod 9, and a second gear 11 is fixedly connected to the left end of the transmission rod 9. The second gear 11 will drive the transmission rod 9 to rotate. An inner groove 12 is opened on the left side of the rear wall of the rectangular cover 1. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the inner groove 12. A worm gear 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 13. A secondary gear 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the worm gear 15. The secondary gear 14 and the second gear 15 are connected to the second gear 10. Gear 11 meshes with the inner groove 12, and a hollow worm 16 is rotatably connected to the inner center of the groove. The hollow worm 16 meshes with the worm wheel 15. When the worm wheel 15 rotates, the secondary gear 14 on the right side will drive the second gear 11 to rotate. The upper and lower ends of the hollow worm 16 pass through the rectangular cover 1. A moving component is provided on the front side of the rectangular cover 1, and a fixing mechanism 2 is provided on the lower side of the rectangular cover 1. The fixing mechanism 2 is used to facilitate the fixing of the device to the flange. Fixing plates 17 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the front wall of the rectangular cover 1. The middle of the adjacent side of the two fixing plates 17 is rotatably connected to the same thread. The right end of the rod 18 and the lead screw 18 passes through the fixing plate 17 and is fixedly connected to the long gear 19. The long gear 19 meshes with the first gear 5. When the first gear 5 rotates, the long gear 19 will drive the lead screw 18 to rotate. The outer side of the lead screw 18 is threaded with a slider 20. A tool holder 21 is provided on the front side of the slider 20. When the lead screw 18 rotates, the slider 20 will drive the tool holder 21 to move. A cutter head 22 is provided in the middle of the front side of the tool holder 21. The right end of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 26. The top right side of the rectangular cover 1 is fixedly connected to a handle 27. The handle 27 makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the device.
[0033] Specifically, when using this device, first turn the handwheel 26. When the handwheel 26 is turned, the rotation of the handwheel 26 is transmitted to the long gear 19 through the meshing of the first gear 5, causing the lead screw 18 to start rotating. As the lead screw 18 rotates, the slider 20 moves accordingly, and the movement of the slider 20 drives the tool holder 21 to move. When the cutter head 22 reaches the edge of the flange sealing surface, push the handwheel 26 to the left. At this time, the locking gear 7 will tightly engage with the gear sleeve 10. Then pull the handle 27 to rotate the entire device. Since the hollow worm 16 remains stationary during rotation, and the worm wheel 15 meshes with the hollow worm 16, the worm wheel 15 will rotate as the device rotates. The rotation of the worm wheel 15, through the transmission action of the secondary gear 14 and the second gear 11, enables the transmission rod 9 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 9, through the cooperation of the gear sleeve 10 and the locking gear 7, will drive the first gear 5 to rotate. This allows the movement of the tool holder 21 to be controlled while the device rotates, thus facilitating and quickly completing the leveling work on the flange sealing surface, improving the practicality of the device and meeting the needs of users.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a threaded rod 201, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the hollow worm gear 16. The bottom end of the threaded rod 201 passes through the hollow worm gear 16 and is threadedly connected to a pressing block 202. When the threaded rod 201 rotates, the pressing block 202 will move accordingly. A support plate 203 is provided on the outer side of the pressing block 202. The support plate 203 has mounting grooves 204 on all four sides. Each mounting groove 204 has a locking block 205 inside. The mounting groove 204 is used to place the locking block 205. Each side of the locking block 205 has an inclined surface 206. The pressing block 202 has a locking groove 207 on all four sides. The locking blocks 205 are respectively engaged with the corresponding locking grooves 207. When the pressing block 202 moves, it will push the locking block 205 to move outward.
[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to fix the device to the flange, first rotate the threaded rod 201. As the threaded rod 201 rotates, the pressing block 202 at its bottom moves upward. Since the inner side of the clamping block 205 is designed as a slope 206, when the pressing block 202 moves upward, the clamping groove 207 will correspondingly push multiple clamping blocks 205 to move outward, so that the clamping blocks 205 can make tight contact with the inner side of the flange, thereby conveniently fixing the device to the inner side of the flange. This makes it easier to use the device to perform flange leveling operations and reduces the workload of the workers.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The top of the support plate 203 is provided with a fixing plate 23. The inner size of the slot 207 matches the size of the block 205. The top of the fixing plate 23 is threaded with multiple bolts 24 at equal intervals. The bottom ends of the multiple bolts 24 all pass through the fixing plate 23 and are threadedly connected to the slider 20. The fixing plate 23 can be removed by removing the multiple bolts 24.
[0037] Specifically, the fixing piece 23 is used to fix the card block 205. The inner size of the card slot 207 matches the size of the card block 205, so that the card block 205 will not wobble. The fixing piece 23 can be removed by removing multiple bolts 24.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 Limiting rods 28 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of adjacent sides of the two fixed plates 17. The outer sides of the two limiting rods 28 pass through the same slider 20. The limiting rods 28 can limit the movement of the slider 20. Screws 25 are threaded at the four corners of the front side of the tool holder 21. The rear end of the screws 25 passes through the tool holder 21 and is threaded to the slider 20. The tool holder 21 can be disassembled by removing multiple screws 25.
[0039] Specifically, the limit rod 28 can limit the movement of the slider 20, so that the slider 20 can move along with the lead screw 18 when it rotates, and the tool holder 21 can be removed by removing multiple screws 25.
[0040] Working principle: When using this device, pull the handwheel 26 to the right. Since the first gear 5 meshes with the long gear 19, when the handwheel 26 rotates, the screw 18 can be rotated through the transmission of the first gear 5 and the long gear 19. The slider 20 will then drive the tool holder 21 to move. When the tool head 22 moves to the edge of the flange sealing surface, push the handwheel 26 to the left to make the locking gear 7 engage with the gear sleeve 10. At this time, pull the handle 27 to rotate the whole device. Since the hollow worm 16 is stationary when rotating, and the worm wheel 15 meshes with the hollow worm 16, the worm wheel 15 will drive the transmission rod 9 to rotate through the transmission of the auxiliary gear 14 and the second gear 11. At this time, the transmission rod 9 will drive the first gear 5 to rotate through the gear sleeve 10 and the locking gear 7. Thus, the tool holder 21 can be moved while the device is rotating, which makes it convenient to perform the leveling work on the flange.
[0041] Furthermore, when it is necessary to fix the device to the flange, the threaded rod 201 is rotated. When the threaded rod 201 rotates, the pressing block 202 at the bottom will move upward. Since the inner side of the clamping block 205 is designed with a slope 206, when the pressing block 202 rises, the clamping groove 207 will push multiple clamping blocks 205 to move outward, so that they can contact the inner side of the flange. This allows the device to be easily fixed to the inner side of the flange, making it convenient to use the device to level the flange later.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
