Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a limiting device for a U-shaped long steel beam includes a long strip-shaped base 4, on which a fixing assembly is provided for fixing the base plate 2 of the U-shaped steel beam 1. The fixing assembly includes a slide block 5 that is slidably mounted on the base 4 along its length. The top of the base 4 is provided with a groove 6 extending along its length, and multiple grooves 6 are evenly spaced along the width of the base 4. By installing the slide block 5 into different grooves 6, base plates 2 of different widths can be fixed. The cross-section of the groove 6 is inverted T-shaped, and the lower end of the slide block 5 matches the shape of the groove 6 to prevent the slide block 5 from falling out of the groove 6. The upper end of the slide block 5 extends out of the outside of the groove 6 and is integrally formed with a cantilever 7. The cantilever 7 extends horizontally along the length of the base 4, and a vertically extending screw rod 8 is screwed onto the cantilever 7. A pressure block 9 for pressing down the base plate 2 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the screw rod 8.
[0023] Place the base plate 2, which makes up the U-shaped steel beam 1, on top of the base 4. According to the width of the base plate 2, install a slide block 5 in the two slide grooves 6 at the front end and the two slide grooves 6 at the rear end of the base plate 2. The distance between the two slide grooves 6 should be less than the width of the base plate 2. When installing the slide block 5, the cantilever 7 should face the side of the base plate 2. Slide the slide block 5 along the slide groove 6 so that the slide block 5 abuts against the end of the base plate 2. Then, drive the pressure block 9 to press down on the base plate 2 by rotating the screw rod 8, thereby fixing the base plate 2 and preventing the base plate 2 from shifting during the welding process.
[0024] Several portal frames 10 are slidably mounted on the base 4 along its length. In this embodiment, two sets of portal frames 10 are provided, which are used to fix the front and rear ends of the web plate 3 respectively. The portal frame 10 specifically includes two columns 11 arranged opposite each other on the left and right sides along the width direction of the base. A horizontal plate 12 is fixedly installed between the upper ends of the two columns 11 by bolts. An inverted U-shaped wheel frame is fixedly installed at the lower end of the columns 11 by bolts. A roller 13 is rotatably installed in the wheel frame. In this embodiment, two rollers 13 are arranged side by side, and the axis of the rollers 13 extends laterally along the width direction of the base 4, which can reduce the resistance when the portal frame 10 moves back and forth. Wheel grooves 14 extending back and forth along the length direction are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the base 4, and the wheel frames and rollers 13 on both sides are respectively placed in the corresponding wheel grooves. Inside the gantry 14, a V-shaped groove is provided around the outer circumference of the roller 13. A guide rail 15, matching the bottom of the roller 13, is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the groove 14 by bolts. The top of the guide rail 15 is inverted V-shaped, matching the bottom of the roller 13, which can improve the stability of the roller 13 rolling in the groove 14. The top of the groove 14 is provided with a strip-shaped groove 16 that penetrates the base 4 upwards. The strip-shaped groove 16 extends back and forth along the length of the base 4. The column 11 passes through the corresponding strip-shaped groove 16 and can move back and forth along the strip-shaped groove 16. When the gantry frame 10 moves back and forth, the strip-shaped groove 16 can provide guidance for the column 11. With this setting, the gantry frame 10 can move back and forth along the length of the base 4, so that the position of the gantry frame 10 can be adjusted according to the length of the U-shaped steel beam 1, and the gantry frame 10 can provide stable support for the web 3 that makes up the U-shaped steel beam 1.
[0025] Two support plates 17 are movably mounted on the portal frame 10, arranged laterally to each other along the width direction of the base 4. A sliding rod 18 extending laterally along the width direction of the base 4 is bolted between the upper ends of the two columns 11. Two sliding rods 18 are arranged side-by-side, and the upper ends of the two support plates 17 are simultaneously slidably mounted on the two sliding rods 18. The two support plates 17 are driven to move closer or further apart by an adjusting assembly, which includes a positive and negative threaded rod 19 rotatably mounted between the upper ends of the two columns 11 via bearings. The positive and negative threaded rod 19 is parallel to the sliding rod 18, and the two sliding rods 18 are located in front of and behind the positive and negative threaded rod 19, respectively. On both sides, the bottom of the horizontal plate 12 is provided with a concave groove extending laterally. The slide rod 18 and the positive and negative threaded rods 19 are both contained in the concave groove at the bottom of the horizontal plate 12. The positive and negative threaded rods 19 are provided with two external threads with opposite directions of rotation. The upper ends of the two support plates 17 are respectively threaded to the external threads of the positive and negative threaded rods 19 with different directions of rotation. The optical shaft at one end of the positive and negative threaded rods 19 passes through the outside of the column 11 and is fixedly installed with a crank 20. By cranking the crank 20, the positive and negative threaded rods 19 are driven to rotate, thereby driving the two support plates 17 to move closer or further away from each other, so as to adjust the distance between the two support plates 17 according to the width of the U-shaped steel beam 1.
[0026] The two webs 3 of the U-shaped steel beam 1 rest against the inner sides of the two support plates 17 respectively. A telescopic component is provided between the two webs 3. The telescopic component is specifically located between the left and right support plates 17. Support seats 29 for pressing the webs 3 tightly onto the corresponding support plates 17 are installed at both ends of the telescopic component. The telescopic component can be a hydraulic telescopic rod. The two support seats 29 are fixedly installed at both ends of the hydraulic telescopic rod. The two webs 3 are placed on top of the base plate 2 and rest against the inner sides of the corresponding support plates 17. After placement, the hydraulic telescopic rod is placed horizontally between the two webs 3 at the support plate 17. The extension of the hydraulic telescopic rod drives the support seats 29 at both ends to press the two webs 3 to both sides, thereby clamping the corresponding webs 3 through the support plates 17 and support seats 29, realizing the fixing effect of the webs 3, thus facilitating the welding between the webs 3 and the base plate 2.
[0027] Alternatively, the telescopic component includes a threaded tube 21 and a threaded rod 22. One end of the threaded tube 21 and one end of the threaded rod 22 are screwed together. Support seats 29 are fixedly installed at the ends of the threaded tube 21 and the threaded rod 22 that are far apart from each other. After the web plate 3 and the bottom plate 2 are placed, the threaded tube 21 and the threaded rod 22 are placed laterally between the two web plates 3 at the support plate 17. By rotating the threaded rod 22, the two support seats 29 are moved away from each other, so that the support seats 29 at both ends press the two web plates 3 to both sides respectively.
[0028] Support screws 23 are bolted to the lower outer sides of the two support plates 17. The support screws 23 are parallel to the slide rods 18. The corresponding columns 11 have through holes for the support screws 23 to pass through. Adjusting nuts 24 are screwed onto the support screws 23 to abut against the inner side of the corresponding columns 11. When the position of the support plate 17 changes, the adjusting nut 24 is rotated to abut against the inner side of the corresponding column 11, thereby providing support for the lower end of the support plate 17 and preventing the support plate 17 from bending and deforming outward under pressure.
[0029] Two columns 11 are respectively fixed to mounting bases 25 on opposite sides by bolts. Each mounting base 25 has a vertically penetrating pin hole 26. The top of the base 4 below the pin hole 26 has a pin groove 27, with multiple pin grooves 27 evenly spaced along the length of the base 4. A locking pin 28 is inserted into the pin hole 26 and one of the pin grooves 27. After the position of the portal frame 10 is adjusted, the locking pin 28 is inserted into the pin hole 26 and the pin groove 27 below it, thereby fixing the position of the portal frame 10.
