[0028] Example 1

[0029] A flange 1 welding and fixing mechanism is disclosed. The flange 1 has a straight hole 11, which is used to connect to flanges 1 on other pipes 2, so that the two pipes 2 can communicate with each other. A bolt is provided to pass through the straight holes 11 formed on two flanges 1 in sequence and is fixed by the bolt. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame 3, locating pins 4, and fixing elements 5. The fixing frame 3 has a bearing surface 311 for placing the flange 1 and a first abutment surface 321 that contacts the outer wall of the pipe 2. The bearing surface 311 is horizontally arranged to prevent the flange 1 from slipping. At least two locating pins 4 are provided on the bearing surface 311. The diameter of the locating pins 4 matches the diameter of the straight hole 11. The locating pins 4 are fixedly arranged on the bearing surface 311. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the two locating pins 4 are arranged opposite each other so that the flange 1 can be fixed on the bearing surface 311. In other embodiments, the number of locating pins 4 is the same as the number of straight holes 11 formed on the flange 1. Since the positions of the straight holes 11 formed on flanges 1 of different diameters are also different, in other embodiments, blind grooves matching the size of the straight holes 11 are formed on the bearing surface 311. The blind grooves are used to accommodate the locating pins 4, aligning them with the straight holes 11 on the flanges 1 to fix the flanges 1. Multiple blind grooves are provided on the bearing surface 311 according to the positions of the straight holes 11 on the flanges 1. Some flanges 1 with larger diameters can also be placed on the bearing surface 311, and the positions of the straight holes 11 formed on the flanges 1 correspond to the positions of the blind grooves, so that the locating pins 4 can pass through the straight holes 11 and be placed in the blind grooves to fix the flanges 1. The fixing bracket 3 forms a mounting surface 322 for placing the fixing member 5. The fixing member 5 forms a second abutment surface 511 that contacts the outer wall surface of the pipe 2. The first abutment surface 321 and the second abutment surface 511 are matched in projection position on a plane perpendicular to the ground. The distance between the first contact surface 321 and the second contact surface 511 is matched with the diameter of the pipe 2, which allows the pipe 2 to be fixed on the fixing bracket 3. The pipe 2 is placed above the end face of the flange 1 in a direction perpendicular to the ground, and one end of the pipe 2 is in contact with the end face of the flange 1. This facilitates the welding of the pipe 2 and the flange 1 by employees and avoids the problem of wasting spare parts and increasing costs due to welding misalignment.

[0030] Specifically, the fastener 5 includes a fixing plate 51, bolts, and nuts 52. The fixing plate 51 forms a second abutment surface 511. The mounting surface 322 forms a positioning hole 3221. The fixing plate 51 forms a connecting hole 512 that matches the positioning hole 3221. When the bolt passes through the connecting hole 512 and the positioning hole 3221 in sequence and is threaded to the nut 52, the first abutment surface 321 and the second abutment surface 511 are aligned in a projection position on a plane perpendicular to the ground. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 51 is fixed to the mounting surface 322 by bolts and nuts 52, which has a simple structure and is easy for operators to operate.

[0031] Specifically, the mounting bracket 3 includes a support section 31 and a guide section 32. The support section 31 is in contact with the ground, and the end of the support section 31 facing away from the ground forms a bearing surface 311. The guide section 32 is located in the middle of the support section 31 along a direction perpendicular to the ground. The guide section 32 forms a first contact surface 321 and a mounting surface 322. The placement of the guide section 32 in the middle of the support section 31 along a direction perpendicular to the ground allows for greater stability when the pipe 2 and flange 1 are placed on the mounting bracket. If the guide section 32 were located at the end of the support section 31, the mounting bracket 3 might tilt when the pipe 2 and flange 1 are placed on it, eventually causing the mounting bracket to fall to the ground, which would be detrimental to the welding of the pipe 2 and flange 1 by the workers.

[0032] Specifically, a gap of more than 30cm is formed between the bearing surface 311 and the mounting surface 322. When workers are welding the pipe 2 and the flange 1, if the distance between the bearing surface 311 and the mounting surface 322 is too close, that is, if the distance between the mounting plate and the support section 31 is too close, then the workers will not have enough space to perform welding operations. Therefore, in this embodiment, a gap of more than 30cm is set between the bearing surface 311 and the mounting surface 322 so that workers have enough operating space to weld and fix the pipe 2 and the flange 1.

[0033] Specifically, the width of the first contact surface 321 and the second contact surface 511 is greater than or equal to 1 cm, so that when the pipe 2 is placed between the first contact surface 321 and the second contact surface 511, the contact area between the first contact surface 321 and the second contact surface 511 and the outer wall surface of the pipe 2 is larger, so that the mounting bracket and the fixing plate 51 can effectively fix the pipe body of the pipe 2.

[0034] Specifically, the support section 31 forms a collection groove for collecting debris generated during the welding process. In this embodiment, both the guide section 32 and the support section 31 have U-shaped cross-sections to reduce the overall weight of the fixing mechanism, making it easier for workers to carry or move.

[0035] Reference Figure 5

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the fastener 5 forms a protrusion 54. The protrusion 54 is a block structure. The fastener 5 is a plate structure. The mounting surface 322 forms a positioning hole 3221 that matches the diameter of the protrusion 54. When the outer wall surface of the protrusion 54 abuts against the inner wall surface of the positioning hole 3221, the first abutment surface 321 and the second abutment surface 511 are aligned in a projection position on a plane perpendicular to the ground. The protrusion 54 can be directly inserted into the positioning hole 3221 formed by the mounting surface 322 to achieve quick installation of the fastener 5. In other embodiments, the protrusion 54 may be a rod-shaped structure or a star-shaped structure.
