Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of welding auxiliary equipment, and specifically relates to an overhead angle welding auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern welding production, high-quality welding operations not only rely on high-performance welding equipment, appropriately matched welding materials, and scientifically optimized welding processes, but also require well-equipped and highly adaptable welding fixtures. These fixtures play a crucial role in improving welding efficiency, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and ensuring welding quality.
[0003] For large cylindrical workpieces, circumferential welding is typically used for butt joints. However, if the workpiece remains in a fixed position throughout the welding process, welding the top area becomes extremely difficult. This requires complex welding postures, such as vertical or overhead welding, and the weld quality is hard to guarantee, resulting in high labor intensity and significant safety hazards. To address these issues, the common practice is to place the workpiece on a welding roller frame. The rotation of the rollers causes the workpiece to rotate synchronously, keeping the area to be welded at a convenient bottom position, effectively avoiding the inconveniences of vertical and overhead welding, significantly reducing construction difficulty, and improving the safety and operability of the welding operation. However, in practical applications, when the welding roller frame is tilted due to working conditions, several shortcomings remain. For example, the operator's welding posture is restricted in the tilted position, welding efficiency decreases, and certain safety risks exist, affecting the stability and continuity of the overall welding work.

Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an overhead welding auxiliary device is provided. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 It includes a roller frame and an auxiliary platform 3. The auxiliary platform 3 is located above the roller frame. The first end of the roller frame is hinged to the working surface. A telescopic element 6 is provided in the middle of the roller frame and is hinged to it. The second end of the roller frame is hinged to the second end of the auxiliary platform 3. The first end of the auxiliary platform 3 is provided with an upper connecting rod 4 that is hinged to it. The middle part of the upper connecting rod 4 is hinged to the roller frame. The bottom of the upper connecting rod 4 is hinged to the lower connecting rod 5. The bottom of the lower connecting rod 5 is hinged to the working surface.
[0026] Specifically, the roller frame includes a support frame 1, two crossbeams 2, and a roller assembly. The support frame 1 is a frame structure, welded from multiple steel pipes to form a stable support structure. A first support frame connecting seat 7 is provided at the first end of the support frame 1, and a working surface connecting seat 9 is provided on the working surface. The first support frame connecting seat 7 and the working surface connecting seat 9 are hinged together. Both the first support frame connecting seat 7 and the working surface connecting seat 9 are made of high-strength alloy material to ensure the stability and durability of the hinge point. The support frame 1 has a second support frame connecting seat 8 in the middle, which is hinged to the telescopic element 6. The angle between the roller frame and the working surface can be adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic element 6. The upper connecting rod 4, lower connecting rod 5, auxiliary platform 3 and roller frame are combined into one unit by using the hinge. The auxiliary platform 3 and roller frame share the telescopic element 6, which does not require an additional power component. At the same time, the auxiliary platform 3 and roller frame are detachable, making installation and operation convenient. During the operation, the auxiliary platform 3 always maintains a horizontal posture and will not change with the tilt angle of the roller frame. Welders can change their welding posture at will when performing welding operations on the auxiliary platform, which helps to improve welding efficiency and welding quality, and ensures the stability and continuity of welding work. The first support frame connecting seat 7, the second support frame connecting seat 8, the working surface connecting seat 9, the upper connecting rod 4 and the lower connecting rod 5 are all symmetrically arranged, adopting a symmetrical structure, which enhances overall safety.
[0027] Preferably, the telescopic element 6 is a hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder body of which is connected to the working surface, and the end of the piston rod is hinged to the second support frame connecting seat 8.
[0028] Specifically, a support column is provided below the second end of the support frame 1. The support column is fixedly connected to the working surface. In the initial state, the second end of the support frame 1 abuts against the top of the support column, which enhances the stability of the entire device.
[0029] Furthermore, two parallel and spaced-apart crossbeams 2 are positioned above the support frame 1. The crossbeams 2 are made of I-beam steel, providing high load-bearing capacity. The crossbeams 2 are detachably connected to the support frame 1 via bolts, and the spacing between them can be adjusted as needed. Each crossbeam 2 is equipped with a roller assembly, consisting of two spaced-apart rollers made of wear-resistant rubber coated with polyurethane to improve friction and service life. At least one roller's relative position to the crossbeam 2 is adjustable, allowing for the adaptation to cylindrical workpieces of different diameters.
[0030] Specifically, the two rollers are a driving roller 10 and a driven roller 11. The driving roller 10 is connected to the drive motor 13 and is rotatably mounted on the driving roller bracket. The driven roller 11 is rotatably mounted on the driven roller bracket 14. The crossbeam 2 has a slot 12, and the driven roller bracket 14 is inserted into the slot 12 and can slide along the slot 12. At the same time, the crossbeam 2 has several through holes 18 along its length. After the driven roller bracket 14 slides into place, the locking bolt 16 passes through the through holes 18 and the driven roller bracket 14 to achieve locking.
[0031] Furthermore, the auxiliary platform 3 is a rectangular flat plate structure with an anti-slip surface treatment to increase safety during operation. A platform connecting seat is provided on the lower surface of the auxiliary platform 3. The platform connecting seat has a U-shaped structure, and a connecting ear is provided at the second end of the roller frame. The connecting ear is a plate-like structure and is welded and fixed to the support frame 1. The connecting ear and the platform connecting seat are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft made of high-strength alloy steel, with anti-detachment devices at both ends to ensure reliable connection.
[0032] Furthermore, the upper connecting rod 4 is a rod-shaped structure with high strength and rigidity. The hinge point between the upper connecting rod 4 and the auxiliary platform 3 serves as the second hinge point, using a pin connection with cotter pins at both ends to prevent detachment. The middle part of the upper connecting rod 4 is hinged to the roller frame, which has a connecting shaft 15 that passes through and is rotatably connected to the upper connecting rod 4. The connecting shaft 15 is made of high-strength alloy steel with a hardened surface to improve wear resistance. The hinge point between the roller frame and the auxiliary platform 3 serves as the first hinge point, and the hinge point between the upper connecting rod 4 and the roller frame is located between the first and second hinge points, enhancing the stability of the entire mechanism.
[0033] Furthermore, the lower connecting rod 5 is also a rod-shaped structure, made of the same alloy steel material as the upper connecting rod 4. The length of the lower connecting rod 5 is greater than the length of the upper connecting rod 4. Preferably, the length of the lower connecting rod 5 is about 1.5 times the length of the upper connecting rod 4. This design allows for a larger adjustment range and a smoother movement trajectory when adjusting the height of the auxiliary platform 3. The bottom of the lower connecting rod 5 is provided with a lower connecting rod seat 17 that is hinged to it. The lower connecting rod seat 17 has a U-shaped structure, providing high strength and stability. The lower connecting rod seat 17 is fixedly connected to the working surface, securely fixed to the working surface by expansion bolts or welding. The hinge point between the lower connecting rod 5 and the working surface is located between the first end of the roller frame and the middle of the roller frame. This layout ensures that the entire mechanism forms a stable structure during operation, effectively preventing the device from shaking or tilting during use.
[0034] In use, the cylindrical workpiece to be welded is placed on the roller assembly. The cylindrical workpiece can rotate freely on the rollers, making it easy for the operator to adjust the welding position. By controlling the extension and retraction of the telescopic element 6, the angle between the roller frame and the working surface can be changed. During this process, the included angle between the upper connecting rod 4 and the lower connecting rod 5 increases or decreases, effectively compensating for the tilt of the roller frame and ensuring that the auxiliary platform 3 remains horizontal. This allows the operator to perform overhead welding operations in the most comfortable posture. In other words, the linkage mechanism composed of the upper connecting rod 4 and the lower connecting rod 5 ensures that the auxiliary platform 3 maintains a relatively stable angle during lifting and lowering, improving welding accuracy and safety.
[0035] When it is necessary to change cylindrical workpieces of different diameters, the position of the adjustable rollers in the roller assembly can be adjusted to accommodate cylindrical workpieces of different sizes. The entire device has a compact structure, occupies little space, and the connections between all components are hinged, facilitating disassembly, assembly, and transportation.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Based on Embodiment 1, the surface of the auxiliary platform 3 is provided with an anti-slip mat made of rubber material with raised patterns to increase friction. Additionally, the edges of the auxiliary platform 3 can be fitted with guardrails to prevent items from slipping off, thus improving work safety.
