Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline flange assembly technology, and more specifically, to a special machine for assembling tee flanges. Background Technology

[0002] Flange assembly is an essential step in the construction of industrial pipelines. However, a flange assembly machine is required when connecting tee flanges to pipelines.

[0003] Currently, commonly used flange assembly machines are not convenient for quickly fixing flanges during use, and the pipes are not easy to adjust axially during positioning, which may cause surface damage. For example, the flange assembly machine disclosed in publication number CN204504594U includes a fixed baffle and a horizontal support. The fixed baffle is set at one end of the horizontal support and is perpendicular to the horizontal support.

[0004] As can be seen from the above-mentioned disclosed scheme, the flange is placed close to the fixed baffle when it is fixed. However, neither the fixed baffle nor the movable baffle has a fixing structure for the flange, which makes it take a long time to position the flange when it is connected to the pipeline. At the same time, the pipeline rotates by rotating the round pipe, and the surface of the pipeline will be damaged by friction with the surface of the rotating round pipe when it moves axially. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a special machine for assembling tee flanges. This special machine, through the setting of clamping plates, a first electric telescopic rod, a rotating plate, and a second electric telescopic rod, can not only quickly fix the flange body, but also adjust its height position, greatly improving the convenience of assembly. Furthermore, through the setting of limiting grooves and ball bearings, it can not only quickly position the pipeline, but also facilitate the rotation and axial movement of the pipeline without causing damage to the pipeline surface.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0007] This tee flange assembly machine includes a flange assembly machine body. Support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body. A limiting groove is formed on the surface of the machine body, and a pipe is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove. A flange body is movably connected to the end face of the pipe. A clamping mechanism is movably connected to the surface of the flange body. An adjusting mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes a sliding plate. A second electric telescopic rod is fixedly sleeved at one end of the sliding plate. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the second electric telescopic rod. The surface of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flange assembly machine body. This tee flange assembly machine, through the clamping plate, the first electric telescopic rod, the rotating plate, and the second electric telescopic rod, can not only quickly fix the flange body but also adjust its height, greatly improving assembly convenience. Furthermore, the limiting groove and ball bearings not only allow for quick pipe positioning but also facilitate pipe rotation and axial movement without damaging the pipe surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping plate with a groove on its clamping surface. A connecting arm is fixedly connected to the other surface of the clamping plate. A first electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm, and a rotating plate is fixedly sleeved on the other end of the first electric telescopic rod. The clamping plate can clamp and release the flange body under the drive of the first electric telescopic rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the flange assembly has a sliding groove at the bottom of the machine body, and a slider is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plate. The slider has a T-shaped cross-section and its surface is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, so that the sliding plate can move along the length of the flange assembly to the machine body, thereby driving the clamping plate to adjust its horizontal position.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting groove has a V-shaped cross-section, and a ball is movably fitted on the inner wall of the limiting groove. The surface of the ball is in rolling contact with the surface of the pipe. The V-shaped limiting groove can quickly position the pipe, while the ball facilitates the rotation and axial movement of the pipe within the limiting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating plate has mounting holes on its side, and a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate. One end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to a support plate via a bearing, allowing the rotating plate to be selected, thereby enabling the clamped flange body to rotate, which facilitates welding and fixing with the pipeline.

[0012] Furthermore, a hydraulic telescopic arm is fixedly sleeved at one end of the slide plate, and one end of the hydraulic telescopic arm is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. The hydraulic telescopic arm can adjust the vertical movement position of the clamping plate.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the slide plate is provided with a bend and forms a clearance groove, which can prevent the connecting arm from contacting the slide plate when the rotating plate rotates.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) This solution, through the setting of clamps, first electric telescopic rod, rotating plate and second electric telescopic rod, can not only quickly fix the flange body, but also adjust its height position, which greatly improves the convenience of assembly.

[0016] (2) This solution, through the setting of limiting grooves and balls, can not only quickly position the pipeline, but also facilitate the rotation and axial movement of the pipeline without causing damage to the pipeline surface. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The tee flange assembly machine includes a flange assembly machine body 1. The length of the flange assembly machine body 1 can be set according to actual needs, so that the two ends of the pipe 2 protrude from the two ends of the flange assembly machine body 1, thus facilitating the mating and assembly of the clamped flange body 3 with the end face of the pipe 2. The bottom of the flange assembly machine body 1 is fixedly connected to a support leg 15. The surface of the flange assembly machine body 1 has a limit groove 11, which can prevent the pipe 2 from rolling out of the flange assembly machine body 1. The inner wall of the limit groove 11 is movably connected to the pipe 2, and the end face of the pipe 2 is movably connected to the flange body 3. The surface of the flange body 3 is movably connected to a clamping mechanism 4, which includes a clamping plate 41. The clamping surface of the clamping plate 41 has a groove 42, which facilitates the contact and clamping of the flange body 3 with the flange plate when changing the mating position, increasing... The contact area with the flange plate is increased, and a connecting arm 43 is fixedly connected to the other surface of the clamping plate 41. A first electric telescopic rod 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm 43, and a rotating plate 45 is fixedly sleeved at the other end of the first electric telescopic rod 44. The clamping plate 41 can clamp and release the flange body 3 under the drive of the first electric telescopic rod 44. An adjustment mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping mechanism 4. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes a sliding plate 51. One end of the sliding plate 51 is provided with a bend and forms a clearance groove 54. The clearance groove 54 can prevent the connecting arm 43 from contacting the sliding plate 51 when the rotating plate 45 rotates. A second electric telescopic rod 55 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the sliding plate 51. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the second electric telescopic rod 55. The surface of the fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flange assembly machine body 1.

[0027] The flange assembly has a groove 12 at the bottom of the machine body 1. A slider 52 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slide plate 51. The slider 52 has a T-shaped cross-section and its surface is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 12, allowing the slide plate 51 to move along the length of the flange assembly to the machine body 1, thereby driving the clamping plate 41 to adjust its horizontal position. The limiting groove 11 has a V-shaped cross-section and a ball bearing 13 is movably fitted to the inner wall of the limiting groove 11. The surface of the ball bearing 13 is slidably connected to the surface of the pipe 2. The V-shaped limiting groove 11 can quickly position the pipe 2, while the ball bearing 13 facilitates the rotation and axial movement of the pipe 2 in the limiting groove 11.

[0028] The rotating plate 45 has mounting holes 46 on its side. A connecting shaft 47 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate 45. One end of the connecting shaft 47 is rotatably connected to a support plate 48 via a bearing, so that the rotating plate 45 can be selected, thereby allowing the clamped flange body 3 to rotate, which facilitates welding and fixing with the pipe 2. A hydraulic telescopic arm 53 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the sliding plate 51. One end of the hydraulic telescopic arm 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 48. The hydraulic telescopic arm 53 can adjust the vertical movement position of the clamping plate 41.

[0029] When using this tee flange assembly on a special machine, first place the pipe 2 in the limiting groove 11, then place the flange body 3 between the two clamping plates 41. Next, retract the first electric telescopic rod 44 to bring the clamping plates 41 closer together and clamp the flange body 3. Then, control the second electric telescopic rod 55 to retract, causing the clamped flange body 3 to move closer to the end face of the pipe 2. Then, adjust the center position of the clamped flange body 3 with the end face of the pipe 2 using the hydraulic telescopic arm 53. Then, continue to control the second electric telescopic rod 55 to retract, so that the flange body 3 contacts and squeezes the end face of the pipe 2 tightly. Finally, weld the butt joint between the pipe 2 and the flange body 3. Next, after welding the surface part, the pipe 2 can be rotated. The pipe 2 drives the flange body 3, which is part of the welded section, to rotate, and then drives the rotating plate 45 to rotate. After adjusting the welding surface, welding can continue, thus completing the assembly work. Through the set clamping plate 41, the first electric telescopic rod 44, the rotating plate 45 and the second electric telescopic rod 55, not only can the flange body 3 be quickly fixed, but its height position can also be adjusted, which greatly improves the convenience of assembly. In addition, through the set limiting groove 11 and the ball 13, not only can the pipe 2 be quickly positioned, but it is also convenient for the pipe 2 to rotate and move axially without causing damage to the surface of the pipe 2.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
