Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a positioning mechanism for a tee fitting. Background Technology

[0002] Tees, also known as pipe tees, are pipe fittings, or tee connectors. They are mainly used to change the direction of fluid flow and are placed where a branch pipe needs to be installed on a main pipeline. They can be classified according to pipe diameter. They are generally made of materials such as carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, plastic, argon-bonded asphalt, and PVC. Tee fittings require positioning during processing. Therefore, patent application number 202323443821.6 discloses a fixing fixture for opening holes in tees. The fixing fixture in the prior art cannot position oblique tee fittings. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology and to provide a tee pipe positioning mechanism with a reasonable structural design.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: The positioning mechanism for the tee fitting includes a frame, and its structural feature is that it also includes a clamping device and a clamping device. The clamping device and the clamping device are both installed on the frame. The clamping device includes a first clamping block, a first connecting rod, a second clamping block and a second connecting rod. Each end of the first connecting rod is fixed with a first clamping block, and each end of the second connecting rod is fixed with a second clamping block. The two first clamping blocks and the two second clamping blocks are opposite to each other and slidably arranged on the frame. The clamping device includes a rotating table, a rotating seat and a clamping seat. The rotating table is fixedly arranged on the frame, the rotating seat is rotatably arranged on the rotating table, and the clamping seat is rotatably arranged on the rotating seat.

[0005] Furthermore, both the bottom of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are fixedly provided with sliders, and the frame is provided with a sliding groove, with the slider located in the sliding groove.

[0006] Furthermore, a lead screw seat is fixedly provided at the bottom of both the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. The lead screw seat passes through the lead screw and is threadedly connected. The lead screw is connected to the motor shaft of the motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the two lead screw seats are connected to the lead screw via positive and negative threads, respectively.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the clamping seat is rotatably connected to the rotating seat via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the clamping seat is fixed to the rotating seat via a locking pin.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping device also includes a clamping shaft and a lever. The clamping shaft is mounted on the rotary table and the two are threaded together. One end of the clamping shaft abuts against the rotary seat, and the other end of the clamping shaft is fixed to the lever.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly provided on the clamping seat.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the tee fitting positioning mechanism can not only position straight tee fittings, but also angled tee fittings by adjusting the angle of the clamping device. Therefore, the tee fitting positioning mechanism has a wider range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0020] Example

[0021] See Figures 1 to 4As shown in the accompanying drawings, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and to provide a clear understanding. They are not intended to limit the scope of this invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, provided they do not affect the effectiveness or purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" in this specification is solely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0022] The tee fitting positioning mechanism in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a clamping device 2, and a clamping device 3. Both the clamping device 2 and the clamping device 3 are mounted on the frame 1. The clamping device 2 includes a first clamping block 21, a first connecting rod 22, a second clamping block 23, and a second connecting rod 24. Each end of the first connecting rod 22 is fixed with a first clamping block 21, and each end of the second connecting rod 24 is fixed with a second clamping block 23. The two first clamping blocks 21 and the two second clamping blocks 23 are opposite to each other and are slidably arranged on the frame 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first connecting rod 22 and the second connecting rod 24 are both fixedly provided with sliders 25 and lead screw seats 29. The frame 1 is provided with a slide groove 26. The slider 25 is located in the slide groove 26. The lead screw seat 29 passes through and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 28. The lead screw 28 is connected to the motor shaft of the motor 27. The two lead screw seats 29 are respectively connected to the lead screw 28 through positive and negative threads.

[0024] The clamping device 3 in this embodiment includes a rotating platform 31, a rotating seat 32, a clamping seat 33, a clamping shaft 35, and a lever 36. The rotating platform 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the rotating seat 32 is rotatably mounted on the rotating platform 31, the clamping seat 33 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 32, and a handle 37 is fixedly mounted on the clamping seat 33.

[0025] In this embodiment, one end of the clamping seat 33 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 32 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the clamping seat 33 is fixed to the rotating seat 32 via a locking pin 34. The top clamping shaft 35 is installed on the rotating table 31 and the two are threadedly connected. One end of the top clamping shaft 35 abuts against the rotating seat 32, and the other end of the top clamping shaft 35 is fixed to the lever 36.

[0026] Specifically, when the tee fitting positioning mechanism is working, the main pipe of the tee fitting is placed between the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 23, and the screw 28 is driven to rotate by the motor 27. The screw 28 drives the screw seat 29 to move the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 23 inward synchronously, thereby clamping the main pipe of the tee fitting. The branch pipe of the tee fitting is placed on the rotating seat 32, and the branch pipe of the tee fitting is clamped by flipping the clamping seat 33 to facilitate the processing of the tee fitting. When positioning the oblique tee fitting, the tightening shaft 35 can be loosened in advance to disengage the tightening shaft 35 from the rotating seat 32, so that the rotating seat 32 can rotate on the rotating table 31 to achieve angle adjustment to match the angle of the branch pipe of the tee fitting. After adjustment, the tightening shaft 35 is tightened to make the tightening shaft 35 abut and fix the rotating seat 32.

[0027] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model are included within the protection scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined by the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
