Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of submerged arc welding technology for splicing ring-shaped workpieces, and more specifically to a welding fixture for submerged arc welding of ring-shaped workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] Submerged arc welding is a welding method in which an electric arc burns under a layer of flux. It has many advantages such as stable welding quality, high welding productivity, no arc light and less smoke and dust. It is mainly used in the fabrication of important steel structures such as pressure vessels, marine structures, and box beams and columns.
[0003] For large-diameter (6m-10m) ring-shaped workpieces, manual welding leads to reduced welding efficiency, increased weld defects, and lower first-pass yield rates in flaw detection. Existing automatic submerged arc welding machines cannot directly weld ring-shaped workpieces without modification. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a welding fixture for submerged arc welding of annular workpieces is provided.

[0007] The turntable base supports the turntable bracket via the support device, and the turntable bracket is used to support the annular workpiece. The rotating device is used to rotate the turntable bracket. The submerged arc welding machine support device is located next to the turntable bracket and is used to support the automatic submerged arc welding machine. The automatic submerged arc welding machine is used to perform submerged arc welding on the annular workpiece rotating on the turntable bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the support device includes a connecting circular plate, a turntable rotating gear, a gear base circular plate, and a steel pipe;
[0009] The connecting circular plate is fixed to the bottom center of the turntable bracket, the turntable rotating gear is fixed to the bottom of the connecting circular plate, the bottom of the steel pipe is fixedly connected to the turntable base, the top of the steel pipe is fixedly connected to the gear base circular plate, the gear base circular plate is rotatably connected to the turntable rotating gear, the rotating device has a transmission gear, and the transmission gear meshes with the turntable rotating gear.
[0010] Preferably, the rotating device includes an integrated cycloidal reducer, and the transmission gear is mounted on the output shaft of the integrated cycloidal reducer.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. In this utility model, the annular workpiece is first placed on a turntable support, and the contact point between the annular workpiece and the turntable support is spot-welded to prevent the workpiece from shaking during rotation. Based on the welding speed requirements of the welding process, the output speed of the reduction gearbox, i.e., the speed of the motor drive gear, is adjusted to adjust the speed of the turntable gear, thereby adjusting the linear velocity of the outer circle of the annular workpiece (the submerged arc welding speed of the workpiece is generally 400-550 mm / min). Depending on the size and height of the workpiece, the height of the submerged arc welding machine support is adjusted using copper or wooden shims. The position of the automatic submerged arc welding machine on the travel track is adjusted according to the welding position of the workpiece. The levelness of the turntable base is adjusted using steel or wooden plates to prevent the annular workpiece from vibrating up and down during rotation. Finally, after powering the three-phase asynchronous motor and the automatic submerged arc welding machine, welding can begin. This utility model achieves submerged arc welding of annular workpieces, reducing the workload of manual welding and improving the welding production efficiency of the workpiece.
[0020] 2. Due to the advantages of stable and reliable submerged arc welding quality, the first-pass yield of flaw detection for weld seams of circumferential workpieces is greatly improved.
[0021] Based on the above reasons, this utility model can be widely promoted in fields such as welding of ring-shaped workpieces. Attached Figure Description
