[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0027] like Figure 1-6As shown, a tooling for laser welding stainless steel pipe joints includes a pipe body 91 and a joint seat 92. The pipe body 91 is inserted into the connecting groove 921 of the joint seat 92. The pipe body 91 is provided with a ramp portion 911. It also includes a stop 3 and a fixing seat 4. The stop 3 is coaxially provided with an abutment ring slope 32 and a columnar portion 31. The fixing seat 4 is provided with a fitting post 41. The fitting post 41 is coaxially expanded and abuts against the inner ring side of the joint seat 92. The columnar portion 31 passes through the pipe body 91 and the joint seat 92 and is coaxially inserted into the insertion hole 42 opened on the fitting post 41. The abutment ring slope 32 of the stop 3 abuts against the ramp portion 911 so that the stop 3 and the fixing seat 4 are axially clamped on both sides of the pipe body 91 and the joint seat 92.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the end of the tube body 91 is inserted into the connecting groove 921 of the connector seat 92 to complete the approximate connection between the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92. Then, welding is required at the point where the end of the connecting groove 921 of the connector seat 92 connects with the tube body 91. At this time, the fitting post 41 of the fixing seat 4 can be coaxially tightened onto the inner ring side of the connector seat 92, thereby fixing the fixing seat 4 and the connector seat 92 coaxially. Then, the columnar part 31 of the abutment 3 is axially moved through the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92, thereby making... The columnar portion 31 is coaxially inserted into the insertion hole 42 of the fixing seat 4, and the contact ring slope 32 of the abutment 3 abuts against the slope portion 911 of the tube body 91. Thus, the abutment 3 and the fixing seat 4 are used to axially press and clamp the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92. The coaxial alignment of the slope portion 911 and the columnar portion 31 of the abutment 3 with the fixing seat 4 increases the coaxial stability when fixing the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92, and reduces the coaxiality error when welding the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92.
[0029] In the above technical solution, the abutment 3 and the fixing seat 4 are used to axially press and clamp the pipe body 91 and the connector seat 92. The slope portion 911 and columnar portion 31 of the abutment 3 are coaxially aligned with the fixing seat 4 to increase the coaxial stability when fixing the pipe body 91 and the connector seat 92, and reduce the coaxiality error when welding the pipe body 91 and the connector seat 92.
[0030] As a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a fixing post 5, a threaded hole 311 is provided on the columnar part 31, a through hole 43 is provided on the fixing seat 4, the abutment 3 and the fixing seat 4 are axially clamped on both sides of the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92 so that the threaded hole 311 and the through hole 43 are coaxially aligned, and the fixing post 5 passes through the through hole 43 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 311.
[0031] Specifically, after the columnar part 31 moves axially through the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92 and is coaxially inserted into the insertion hole 42 of the fixed seat 4, the threaded hole 311 is coaxially aligned with the through hole 43. Then, the fixed post 5 can be threaded into the threaded hole 311 through the through hole 43 to lock and fix the abutment 3 and the fixed seat 4, thereby further improving the fixing stability of the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92.
[0032] As a further embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a base 1 and a rotating seat 6 rotatably disposed thereon. A locking block 7 is slidably disposed on opposite sides of the rotating seat 6. A limiting groove 33 is formed on opposite sides of the abutment 3. The abutment 3 is coaxially inserted into the rotating seat 6 so that the limiting groove 33 is aligned with the locking block 7. The locking block 7 is driven to slide against the limiting groove 33 to lock the abutment 3 onto the rotating seat 6.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating seat 6 is rotatably arranged on the base 1, and the base 1 is also equipped with a drive motor 82 for driving the rotating seat 6 to rotate. After the abutment 3 and the fixed seat 4 axially clamp and fix the pipe body 91 and the connector seat 92, the abutment 3 can be coaxially inserted and installed on the rotating seat 6, and the drive motor 82 drives the rotating seat 6 and the abutment 3 to rotate synchronously, thereby facilitating the axial rotation welding of the pipe body 91 and the connector seat 92. When the abutment 3 is coaxially inserted on the rotating seat 6, the limiting groove 33 is aligned with the locking block 7, and the locking block 7 will slide against the limiting groove 33 of the abutment 3 to automatically lock the abutment 3 relative to the rotating seat 6, thereby improving the stability of the abutment 3 fixed on the rotating seat 6.
[0034] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a flexible pad 84 is provided at the connection between the abutment 3 and the columnar portion 31. The abutment 3 and the fixing seat 4 are axially clamped on both sides of the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92 so that the flexible pad 84 abuts against the end of the tube body 91.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flexible pad 84 is disposed at the connection between the abutment 3 and the columnar part 31. When the abutment 3 and the fixed seat 4 are axially clamped on both sides of the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92, the flexible pad 84 abuts against the end of the tube body 91 to achieve flexible wrapping protection of the tube body 91, thereby improving the protection of the tube body 91.
[0036] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, flexible abutment rings 83 are arranged in a linear array on the columnar portion 31. The flexible abutment rings 83 are funnel-shaped, and the narrow opening side of the flexible abutment rings 83 faces the fixed seat 4. The outer ring side of the flexible abutment rings 83 abuts against the inner wall of the tube body 91.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, flexible abutment rings 83 are arranged in a linear array on the columnar portion 31. When the columnar portion 31 of the abutment 3 moves axially through the tube body 91 and the connector seat 92, the flexible abutment rings 83 move synchronously with the columnar portion 31 to scrape and clean the inside of the tube body 91. The narrow opening side of the flexible abutment ring 83 faces the fixed seat 4 to facilitate the movement of the flexible abutment ring 83 into the tube body 91. Furthermore, the flexible abutment rings 83 abut against the inner wall of the tube body 91 in a ring shape, thereby improving the support for the middle part of the tube body 91, reducing the deformation of the middle part of the tube body 91, and improving the radial runout of the tube body 91 during the welding process.
[0038] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the rotating seat 6 is symmetrically provided with protrusions 62, and the abutment 3 is symmetrically provided with positioning grooves 34. The abutment 3 is coaxially inserted into the rotating seat 6 so that the protrusions 62 abut against the positioning grooves 34.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, symmetrical protrusions 62 are provided on the rotating seat 6. When the abutment 3 is axially inserted into the rotating seat 6, the protrusions 62 of the abutment 3 can be aligned and contacted with the positioning groove 34, thereby positioning the abutment 3 and the rotating seat 6 axially and angularly, so as to facilitate the alignment and locking of the locking block 7 and the limiting groove 33.
[0040] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the locking block 7 is provided with a sliding part 71, which is slidably disposed on a sliding groove 61 symmetrically opened on the rotating seat 6. An elastic member 81 for driving the locking block 7 to slide against the limiting groove 33 is provided in the sliding groove 61.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding part 71 of the locking block 7 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 61 of the rotating seat 6 to improve the sliding stability of the locking block 7. The elastic element 81 disposed within the sliding groove 61 constantly drives the locking block 7 to slide closer to the axis of the rotating seat 6 so as to lock and fix the locking block 7 against the abutment 3. The elastic element 81 can be replaced by any elastic object known to those skilled in the art, such as a spring, airbag, or elastic plate.
[0042] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the fixing post 5 is made of Teflon.
