[0002] In the field of pressure vessel manufacturing, circumferential welding is a key process to ensure the structural strength and sealing performance of the vessel. With the diversification of industrial requirements for pressure vessel specifications, the size range, weight distribution, and shape differences of medium and large-sized pressure vessels have increased significantly. Traditional circumferential welding equipment faces multiple technical bottlenecks when dealing with such complex working conditions.

[0003] A welding device for welding circumferential seams of pressure vessels, with publication number CN217193402U, includes a support beam. A fixed plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support beam. A drive shaft is rotatably connected inside the fixed plate.

This achieves the effect of adaptive adjustment and quick clamping according to the weight of pressure vessels of different medium and large sizes. It is simple to operate, flexible and convenient to use, and improves work efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] An automatic welding device for circumferential seams of pressure vessels with adaptive adjustment function, as shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5, includes a welding table 1, fixed columns 2, adjusting rods 3, limiting plates 4, fixing knobs 5, pins 8, an adjustable welding torch 16, an adjustment assembly, and a rotating assembly. Two fixed columns 2 are connected to the upper front of the welding table 1, and two more fixed columns 2 are slidably connected to the rear of the welding table 1. Adjusting rods 3 are connected to the outer sides of the middle of each fixed column 2. Limiting plates 4 are slidably connected between adjacent left and right adjusting rods 3. Fixing knobs 5 are threadedly connected to both sides of the limiting plates 4. The fixing knobs 5 have anti-slip textures for easy gripping. Pins 8 are engaged between the two rear left and right fixed columns 2 and the welding table 1. Grip blocks are provided on the upper parts of the pins 8 for easy gripping. A robotic arm is located in the middle right of the welding table 1, and an adjustable welding torch 16 is connected to the robotic arm. An adjustment assembly is located on the fixed columns 2, and a rotating assembly is located on the adjustment assembly.

[0022] As shown in Figures 1-3, the adjustment assembly includes a first stop 6, a first spring 7, a second stop 9, a second spring 10, a limiting rod 15, and a locking nut 17. The upper part of each fixed post 2 is slidably connected to the first stop 6, and the first stop 6 is connected to the adjacent fixed post 2 by the first spring 7. The lower part of each fixed post 2 is slidably connected to the second stop 9, and the second stop 9 is in contact with the adjacent first stop 6. The parts of the first stop 6 and the second stop 9 that are close to each other are wedge-shaped structures. The second stop 9 is connected to the adjacent fixed post 2 by the second spring 10. The lower side of each first stop 6 is connected to the limiting rod 15, and the limiting rod 15 is in contact with the adjacent second stop 9. The parts of the second stop 9 that are far apart from each other are threadedly connected to the locking nut 17, and the locking nut 17 is in contact with the adjacent fixed post 2.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, it also includes a rotating assembly, which includes side rollers 11, rollers 12, connecting plates 13 and motors 14.
