Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plastic-lined steel pipe repair and processing equipment, specifically to a special processing equipment for plastic-lined steel pipe flanges. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic-lined pipes are made of ordinary carbon steel pipes as the base, lined with chemically superior thermoplastic plastics, and formed by cold drawing or rotational molding. They have both the mechanical properties of steel pipes and the corrosion resistance of plastic pipes, and are characterized by slow scaling and resistance to microbial growth. They are ideal pipelines for transporting media such as acids, alkalis, salts, and corrosive gases.
[0003] If a leak occurs during the use of plastic-lined steel pipes, it is necessary to repair the leak promptly. Repairing this requires inserting a plastic inner lining into the original plastic-lined steel pipe. The inner lining needs to be flanged and connected to the flange in the original plastic-lined steel pipe. Currently, this is mainly achieved by fixing the lower end of a carbon steel cone to the center of a circular grooved steel plate, which is then used to insert a PE pipe for flangering. However, this method is difficult to control during the one-time heating and forming process on the thin-walled composite pipe, making flangering difficult. Bolt tightening is used, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. If welded flanges are used, the pressure resistance of welded flanges for U-shaped linings and municipal pipeline linings is insufficient, requiring an outer protective sleeve. This requires a large operating space and is too costly. Another method is hot-melt welding, mainly used for connecting plastic-lined steel pipes. The drawback of this method is that the connection cannot be easily disassembled after connection, and since plastic-lined steel pipes cannot withstand pressure, an outer protective sleeve is required, resulting in high construction costs. Therefore, the industry urgently needs equipment that facilitates the flange flanging and welding of plastic-lined steel pipes. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a special processing equipment for plastic-lined steel pipe flanges to solve the problems of difficult flange repair and time-consuming and labor-intensive repair of plastic-lined steel pipes in the prior art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0006] A special processing equipment for plastic-lined steel pipe flanges comprises a base, an inner lining pipe fixing mechanism, and a flange fixing mechanism. A slide rail is installed on the base. The inner lining pipe fixing mechanism includes two electric trolleys, each with an inner support using a hydraulic support structure. The flange fixing mechanism is located on sliding worktables at both ends of the slide rail. A lifting frame and a welding torch are installed on the sliding worktables. A flange clamping plate is installed at the top and bottom of the front side of the lifting frame. A push-pull hydraulic cylinder is installed at the rear side of the lifting frame, with its piston rod connected to a tapered flange cylinder. A clamping cylinder is installed on a trolley at the rear of the sliding worktable, with its piston rod end connected to the sliding worktable.
[0007] A positioning sensor is installed on one side of the inner support of the aforementioned electric trolley.
[0008] When using this device, a plastic inner lining tube is placed inside the original pipe to be repaired. Then, the inner support of the electric trolley is placed inside the plastic inner lining tube and secured. The flange of the plastic-lined steel pipe is fixed between the upper and lower flange plates of the lifting frame. The plastic inner lining tube at the flange port is heated, and the push-pull hydraulic cylinder pushes the conical flanging cylinder to flanging the end of the plastic inner lining tube. After the end of the plastic inner lining tube cools down, the conical flanging cylinder is removed. The connection between the flange and the plastic-lined steel pipe is welded using a welding torch.
[0009] This invention achieves mechanical automation of the inner lining flanging and welding in the repair of plastic-lined pipes. By combining heated flanging with welding reinforcement, it improves the efficiency and quality of plastic-lined steel pipe repair, while reducing the amount of manual labor and lowering the labor intensity of plastic-lined steel pipe repair. It has the advantages of reasonable design, convenient use, and safety and reliability. Attached Figure Description
