Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of steel pipe welding, and in particular to a clamp for welding steel pipes for steel structure buildings. Background Technology

[0002] The main advantages of steel structure buildings include significantly saving construction time, construction not being affected by the season, increasing the usable area of ​​residential space, reducing construction waste and environmental pollution, and reusable building materials. During the construction of steel structure buildings, it is often necessary to weld the steel pipes used as vertical or horizontal supports. The steel pipes need to be fixed with clamps before welding.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with application number CN201921143765.5 relates to a clamp for welding steel pipes in steel structure buildings, including a clamping mechanism, a rotating outer tube, a clamping inner tube, an annular base plate, a metal block, a welding operation port, and an inner limiting ring, which can be more convenient and easier to operate, and can improve the efficiency of steel pipe welding.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned device requires manual rotation of the bolts to tighten the steel pipe. Also, after welding is completed, the protruding part at the weld is prone to getting stuck, affecting the extraction of the steel pipe. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a steel pipe welding fixture for steel structure buildings. It uses a docking device to support the steel pipe and drive the welding ends of two sets of steel pipes to come close together, reducing the labor intensity of operators. A clamping device clamps and fixes the welding area of ​​the steel pipe, and can quickly complete clamping and releasing, improving the processing efficiency of the device. Furthermore, a supporting device, in conjunction with the clamping device, drives the steel pipe to rotate, facilitating welding of the annular joint of the steel pipe by operators, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0006] This utility model discloses a steel pipe welding fixture for steel structure buildings; it includes a docking device, a supporting device, and a clamping device. The supporting device is installed on the docking device, and the clamping device is installed on the supporting device. The docking device provides support for the steel pipe and drives the welding ends of the two sets of steel pipes to come close together, reducing the labor intensity of the operator. The clamping device clamps and fixes the welding area of ​​the steel pipe, and can quickly complete clamping and releasing, improving the processing efficiency of the device. The supporting device, in conjunction with the clamping device, drives the steel pipe to rotate, thereby facilitating the operator to weld the annular joint of the steel pipe, improving the practicality of the device.

[0007] Preferably, the docking device includes a base plate, support frames, conveyor wheels, and a reduction motor. Multiple sets of support frames are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end face of the base plate. Conveyor wheels are installed on the support frames. A reduction motor is installed on each of the two sets of support frames located close to the center of the base plate. The output end of the reduction motor is connected to the conveyor wheel on its respective support frame. Multiple sets of conveyor wheels provide support for the steel pipes, and the base plate increases the contact area between the equipment and the ground, increasing the stability of the device. Activating the two sets of reduction motors drives the two sets of conveyor wheels to rotate, thereby moving the steel pipes on the left and right sides towards each other, assisting in aligning the docking ends of the steel pipes. This reduces the labor intensity of operators and improves the practicality of the device.

[0008] Preferably, the support device includes an arc-shaped support frame, a main control frame, a support shaft, and arc-shaped sliders. A set of arc-shaped support frames is installed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base plate, respectively. Arc-shaped grooves are provided on the inner sides of the arc-shaped support frames. A support shaft is installed on the front face of the main control frame, and a set of arc-shaped sliders is provided on the left and right ends of the support shaft. The two sets of arc-shaped sliders are located in the grooves of the two sets of arc-shaped support frames. The movement of the main control frame is limited by the two sets of arc-shaped support frames and the arc-shaped sliders, allowing the main control frame to rotate at a certain angle around the steel pipe docking area. This facilitates the rotation of the steel pipe with the clamping device, switching the unwelded area to the operator's front, facilitating welding operations, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping device includes a lower clamping arm, an upper clamping arm, a first rotating shaft seat, an electric cylinder, and a second rotating shaft seat. A set of upper and lower clamping arms are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the support shaft. A set of first rotating shaft seats is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper and lower ends of the main control frame. An electric cylinder is connected to the side of the first rotating shaft seat. A set of second rotating shaft seats is installed on the upper end face of the upper clamping arm and the lower end face of the lower clamping arm. The moving end of the electric cylinder is connected to the second rotating shaft seat at its corresponding position. By selecting electric cylinders with different strokes, the maximum rotation position of the lower and upper clamping arms is limited. By controlling the extension of multiple sets of electric cylinders to drive the lower and upper clamping arms to clamp and fix the steel pipe, the impact of the steel pipe's own shaking during welding on the welding effect is reduced, and the removal of the steel pipe after welding is not affected, thus improving the stability and practicality of the device.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a pressure sensor, which is installed on the moving end of the electric cylinder; the pressure sensor monitors the pressure on the moving end of the electric cylinder, and when the pressure is greater than a preset value, the electric cylinder is controlled to stop extending, so as to prevent damage to the equipment or steel pipe and improve the protection and practicality of the device.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a handle, anti-slip strips, and a push-button switch. A handle is installed on the rear end face of the main control frame, and an arc-shaped groove is provided at the lower part of the handle. An anti-slip strip is provided in the rear part of the arc-shaped groove, and a push-button switch is installed on the rear end face of the handle. The operator can easily drive the main control frame to move in the arc support frame through the handle. The anti-slip strip increases the anti-slip property of the handle and facilitates pressing the push-button switch during the movement of the handle. The push-button switch controls the working state of the clamping device. After rotating the steel pipe to the required angle, the clamping device is released, and then the main control frame is returned to the horizontal angle, thereby reducing the impact on the welding process and improving the practicality of the device.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a guide trough, which is provided in the middle of the upper end face of the bottom plate, and the front part of the guide trough is inclined downward; the guide trough collects the welding slag generated during the welding process and guides the welding slag to the front part of the bottom plate for discharge, thereby reducing the accumulation of welding slag on the bottom plate and improving the practicality of the device.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the docking device provides support for the steel pipe and drives the welding ends of the two sets of steel pipes to come close together, reducing the labor intensity of the operators; the clamping device clamps and fixes the welding area of ​​the steel pipe, and can quickly complete the clamping and releasing, improving the processing efficiency of the device; the support device, in conjunction with the clamping device, drives the steel pipe to rotate, thereby facilitating the operators to weld the annular joint of the steel pipe, improving the practicality of the device.
