Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible joint pipe welding technology, and in particular to a positioning device for flexible joint pipe welding. Background Technology

[0002] Epoxy glass composite steel pipe (also known as epoxy fiberglass pipe or FRP pipe) is a composite material pipe made of glass fiber reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix, through winding, pultrusion, or molding processes. It features corrosion resistance, high strength, light weight, and long service life, and is widely used in the petrochemical industry, power industry (desulfurization, circulating water systems), municipal water supply and drainage and sewage treatment, marine engineering and shipbuilding, agricultural irrigation and water conservancy projects, and other fields.

[0003] When epoxy glass composite steel pipes are processed, produced, and put into use, the ends of two pipes need to be flexibly connected before welding the joint with a welding torch to accommodate stresses caused by thermal expansion and contraction, vibration, or foundation settlement. Currently, during welding with a handheld welding torch, the pipe is prone to shaking and displacement, leading to poor welding results and low welding efficiency. Therefore, various pipe alignment tools have been developed to improve pipe positioning during welding, enhance welding stability, and ensure welding quality. However, existing alignment tools tend to obstruct the welded joint at the pipe interface, affecting the welding effect. Furthermore, their adjustability is poor, making them unsuitable for positioning pipes of different diameters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a positioning device for welding flexible joint pipes, so as to solve the problems that existing pipe jointing devices tend to block the gaps at the pipe joints that need to be welded after use, affecting the welding effect, and are not applicable to positioning pipes of different diameters.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a positioning device for welding flexible joint pipes, comprising:

[0006] The system comprises a pair of upper and lower arc-shaped clamping members, with a connecting plate fixed between each pair. The lower side of the connecting plate has a notch corresponding to the pipe connection seam. Positioning threaded rods located on both sides of the notch are screwed onto the connecting plate. One end of each upper arc-shaped clamping member is rotatably connected to the lower arc-shaped clamping member via a connecting assembly. The other ends of both upper arc-shaped clamping members are jointly fixed to an upper horizontal plate, and the other ends of both lower arc-shaped clamping members are jointly fixed to a lower horizontal plate. An adjusting threaded rod is screwed between the upper and lower horizontal plates.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes is provided, wherein the connecting assembly includes a connecting seat fixed to one end of the lower arc-shaped clamping member, the connecting seat is provided with an installation notch, an installation shaft passing through the installation notch is installed on the connecting seat, and one end of the upper arc-shaped clamping member is located inside the installation notch and rotatably connected to the installation shaft.

[0008] The solution requires detailed explanation of a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes, wherein both ends of the mounting shaft are screwed with limit nuts.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes includes an upper arc-shaped clamping member and a lower arc-shaped clamping member, the outer sides of which are fixed with an installation plate that is misaligned with the connecting plate, and an auxiliary positioning threaded rod is screwed onto the installation plate.

[0010] The solution requires detailed explanation of a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes, wherein multiple limiting threaded rods are screwed onto the upper and lower arc-shaped clamping parts located on the spigot pipe.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes is provided, wherein the upper ends of the positioning threaded rod, the auxiliary positioning threaded rod, and the limiting threaded rod are all fixed with nuts, and the lower ends of the positioning threaded rod, the auxiliary positioning threaded rod, and the limiting threaded rod are all fixed with positioning plates.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning device for welding flexible interface pipes includes two adjusting threaded rods, and the upper ends of both adjusting threaded rods are fixed with nuts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the positioning device for flexible interface pipe welding provided by this utility model includes a pair of upper arc-shaped clamping parts and lower arc-shaped clamping parts. A connecting plate is fixed between the two upper arc-shaped clamping parts and the two lower arc-shaped clamping parts. The lower side of the connecting plate is provided with a notch corresponding to the pipe connection seam. Positioning threaded rods located on both sides of the notch are screwed onto the connecting plate. One end of the upper arc-shaped clamping part is rotatably connected to the lower arc-shaped clamping part through a connecting assembly. The other ends of the two upper arc-shaped clamping parts are jointly fixed to an upper horizontal plate. The other ends of the two lower arc-shaped clamping parts are jointly fixed to a lower horizontal plate. An adjusting threaded rod is screwed between the upper horizontal plate and the lower horizontal plate. During use, the upper and lower arc-shaped clamping parts need to be placed on the pipes on both sides of the weld (connection seam), ensuring that the notch is located at the weld. The positioning threaded rods on both sides of the notch are located on the socket pipe and the spigot pipe, respectively. Then, tighten the adjusting threaded rods to make the upper and lower arc-shaped clamping parts on the socket pipe abut against the outer wall of the socket pipe. Afterward, tighten the positioning threaded rods so that their lower ends abut against the outer sides of the socket pipe and the spigot pipe, respectively. This achieves positioning welding of flexible joint pipes (socket pipe and spigot pipe), effectively preventing pipe displacement during welding. The notch design avoids obstruction at the weld joint during welding, improving the welding effect. The upper and lower horizontal plates, together with the adjusting threaded rods, can achieve positioning welding of pipes of different diameters, making it widely applicable.

[0024] A positioning device for welding flexible joint pipes includes a pair of upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and a pair of lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2. The shapes of the upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and the lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2 match the shape of the pipe. A connecting plate 3 is fixed between each of the two upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and the two lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2. That is, a connecting plate 3 is fixed between the two upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and the two lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2. A notch 4 corresponding to the pipe joint (that is, the weld joint where the welding rod needs to be welded) is provided on the lower side of the connecting plate 3. During welding, the welding rod can be inserted into the notch 4 by hand to weld the weld joint below it. The connecting plate 3 has two positioning threaded rods 5 screwed on it, located on both sides of the notch 4. One end of the upper arc-shaped clamping member 1 is rotatably connected to the lower arc-shaped clamping member 2 through the connecting assembly. When in use, the upper arc-shaped clamping member 1 and the lower arc-shaped clamping member 2 need to be put on the outside of the socket pipe 18 and the spigot pipe 19, and the connecting plate 3 should be made to cross the weld joint to ensure that the notch 4 is located at the weld joint. Ensure that one positioning threaded rod 5 on the same connecting plate 3 corresponds to the socket pipe 18 and the other positioning threaded rod 5 corresponds to the spigot pipe 19. The other ends of the two upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 are jointly fixed to an upper horizontal plate 6, and the other ends of the two lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2 are jointly fixed to a lower horizontal plate 7. An adjusting threaded rod 8 is screwed between the upper horizontal plate 6 and the lower horizontal plate 7. After the upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and the lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2 are positioned, the adjusting threaded rod 8 is operated to make the upper arc-shaped clamping parts 1 and the lower arc-shaped clamping parts 2 fitted on the socket pipe 18 abut against the outer wall of the socket pipe 18. Then, the positioning threaded rod 5 is screwed so that its lower end abuts against the outer wall of the socket pipe 18 and the spigot pipe 19 respectively, thereby achieving the positioning of the socket pipe 18 and the spigot pipe 19 and preventing the socket pipe 18 and the spigot pipe 19 from shifting during the welding process, which would affect the welding effect.
