[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange lifting equipment technology, and in particular to a flange positioning lifting equipment with precise positioning function. Background Technology
[0002] Flange lifting tools, as easy-to-install and disassemble industrial lifting equipment, are widely used in various workplaces and are essential tools for lifting flange-type workpieces. They are mainly used in many industries such as petrochemicals, oil refining, pipelines, power generation, and emergency rescue for safe and efficient flange lifting operations.
[0003] Flange connection is a common connection method when connecting two pipes. Before connecting the two pipes with flanges, the flanges need to be welded to the pipes. In the process of lifting the flanges and fitting them onto the pipes, common flange lifters often require frequent adjustments to the position of the crane boom or manual pushing of the flanges to align them with the pipes so that the flanges can be accurately fitted onto the pipes and the welding can be completed. The process of adjusting the flange position to align with the pipes is time-consuming, labor-intensive, difficult to control in terms of accuracy, and inefficient.
[0004] To address this, a flange positioning lifting device with precise positioning function is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flange positioning lifting device with precise positioning function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a flange positioning lifting device with precise positioning function, including a lifting vehicle 1. The lifting vehicle 1 is prior art and will not be described in detail here. It is easy to move, and the boom on the lifting vehicle 1 can move up and down, thereby facilitating the lifting of the flange. A lifting rope 2 is fixedly connected to the lifting vehicle 1. The bottom end of the lifting rope 2 is provided with a lifting assembly for lifting the flange. By setting the lifting assembly, the flange can be lifted and moved to the top of the pipe with the cooperation of the lifting vehicle 1, and the flange can be adjusted to the accurate position corresponding to the pipe, thereby facilitating the lifting vehicle 1 to accurately fit the flange. The flange is connected to the pipeline, which facilitates the subsequent welding of the flange to the pipeline. The entire connection process can accurately connect the flange to the pipeline without frequent adjustment of the boom position of the lifting vehicle 1 or manual adjustment of the flange position. It is time-saving, labor-saving and highly efficient. The lifting component includes a connecting block 3 at the bottom of the lifting rope 2. The connecting block 3 has two lifting plates 4, and the lifting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the lifting rope 2. A frame plate 5 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 4. The frame plate 5 has a clamping block 6 for clamping the flange. The bottom of the frame plate 5 has a positioning plate 7. The positioning plate 7 is used to ensure that the flange is accurately connected to the pipeline during the flange connection process.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, two lifting plates 4 are rotatably connected in the connecting block 3, and a tension spring 8 is fixedly connected between the lifting plates 4. A clamping block 6 is slidably connected in the frame plate 5, and a pull rod 9 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 6, with the pull rod 9 slidably connected to the frame plate 5. A spring 10 is fixedly connected between the clamping block 6 and the frame plate 5. The part of the clamping block 6 that contacts the flange is arranged in an arc shape to match the flange, and a rubber pad is provided in the clamping block 6. When connecting the flange and the pipe, the lifting plate 4, the bottom frame plate 5, and the clamping block 6 are moved to the top of the flange by moving the lifting trolley 1. Figure 5 As shown, starting the lifting vehicle 1 allows the boom of the lifting vehicle 1 to be lowered, thereby allowing the frame plate 5 and clamping block 6 to move downwards. During the lowering process, the worker pulls the pull rod 9, causing the clamping block 6 to move inwards within the frame plate 5. The spring 10 contracts under pressure, generating a reaction force. As the clamping block 6 gradually moves inwards within the frame plate 5, the distance between the two clamping blocks 6 increases, allowing the flange plate to enter the clamping groove within the clamping block 6 during its downward movement. Subsequently, releasing the pull rod 9 causes the clamping block 6 to reset under the reaction force of the spring 10, moving closer to the flange and clamping it tightly. The arc-shaped design on the clamping block 6... The placement of the clamping block 6 and the rubber pads allow the clamping block 6 to better fit and clamp the flange. Then, the lifting vehicle 1 is started to move the boom upward, thereby lifting the flange held by the clamping block 6 at the bottom through the lifting rope 2 and the lifting plate 4. During the lifting process, the flange itself has a certain weight, so the two lifting plates 4 rotate crosswise under the action of the flange's gravity. The tension spring 8 is stretched by a certain distance and generates a reaction force. The frame plate 5 at the bottom of the lifting plate 4 approaches the flange and further applies pressure to the spring 10 to squeeze the clamping block 6, thereby making the clamping block 6 better clamp the flange, so that the flange is not easy to fall off during the lifting process.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, specifically, the positioning plate 7 has an upper arc surface 701 and a lower arc surface 702. The upper arc surface 701 is adapted to the pipe portion on the flange, and the lower arc surface 702 is adapted to the pipe. After the flange on the platform is lifted, the pipe placed on the platform or the ground is moved by the lifting vehicle 1 to enter between the two positioning plates 7, that is, as shown. Figure 1This arrangement positions the pipe between the positioning plates 7, with the flange positioned at the top of the pipe during the movement of the crane boom. A mounting platform 11 is fixedly installed on the crane 1, and a motor 12 and guide rod 13 are also fixedly installed on the platform 11. A threaded rod 14, a double-threaded rod, is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 12. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 7, threadedly connected to the threaded rod 14, and slidably connected to the guide rod 13. Starting the motor 12 on the mounting platform 11 rotates the threaded rod 14, causing the two positioning plates 7 to move closer together along the guide rod 13. With the assistance of the crane 1, the positioning plates 7 gradually conform to the pipe in the middle. Because the upper arc surface 701 matches the pipe portion on the flange, and the lower arc surface 702 matches the pipe, the positioning plates 7 can fit well with the pipe and flange. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the flange is gradually lowered by the boom of the spreader 1, and the flange will move downward along the upper arc surface 701 and gradually fit onto the pipe. That is, the flange is accurately fitted onto the pipe. The reverse drive motor 12 causes the positioning plate 7 to move in the reverse direction to reset and detach from the pipe and flange. The pull rod 9 is pulled to make the clamping block 6 detach from the flange. Under the drive of the boom of the spreader 1, the lifting plate 4 moves upward along with the frame plate 5 and the clamping block 6 to separate from the flange. Then, welding can be carried out between the flange and the pipe. At this time, the lifting plate 4 is no longer subjected to the gravity of the flange. The tension spring 8 contracts under the reaction force and pulls the two lifting plates 4 to rotate and open to return to the initial state.
