Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alignment and correction after flange disassembly and inspection, and specifically to a correction device for flange alignment. Background Technology

[0002] Flange connections are a common and important method of connection in industrial pipeline installation and equipment connection. However, due to various factors such as welding, installation, pipeline deformation, and long pipeline spans, misalignment or misalignment often occurs between the two flanges to be connected, such as axial offset or angular deviation. Traditional flange alignment methods usually rely on manual adjustment, which is inefficient and difficult to guarantee accuracy. Sometimes, it even requires the use of large tools to force alignment, which can easily damage the flange sealing surface, affect the connection quality, and pose certain safety hazards. Therefore, designing a simple, easy-to-operate, and accurate flange alignment correction device is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a correction device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, and can effectively improve the alignment accuracy and efficiency of flange openings, while ensuring the standardization of flange fastening during the correction process.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a straightening device for flange alignment includes a set screw (1), a sliding support rod (2), a base (3), a positioning pin (4), a support rod fixing screw (5), an oil groove (6), and a positioning pin support (7). The set screw (1) is installed on one side of the sliding support rod (2), the sliding support rod (2) is installed inside the base (3), the support rod fixing screw (5) is installed at one end of the base (3), the oil groove (6) is inside the base (3), the positioning pin support (7) is welded to one end of the base (3), and the positioning pin (4) is installed on the positioning pin support (7). When in use, place a correction device for flange alignment on the outside of the offset flange, insert the positioning pin (4) into the flange bolt hole. The positioning pin (4) can be replaced according to the size of the flange bolt hole. Adjust the sliding support rod (2), adjust the set screw (1) to the outside of the edge of another flange that needs to be aligned, and after the two flanges are aligned, tighten the support rod fixing screw (5) to fix the sliding support rod (2), insert the bolt for tightening, and after tightening, remove the device and replenish the bolts in the remaining bolt holes.

[0005] Preferably, the base (3) has oil grooves (6) on the upper and lower parts.

[0006] Preferably, the sliding support rod (2) can slide relative to the base (3), and oil grooves (6) are provided on the upper and lower sides of the base (3) to prevent corrosion of the contact surface between the sliding support rod (2) and the base (3) and affect the relative sliding.

[0007] Preferably, in order to improve the support strength of the sliding support rod (2) and ensure that the strength of the offset flange is controlled during the recovery process, the contact surface of the sliding support rod (2) and the base (3) is designed to be arc-shaped, which improves the contact area and the torque bearing capacity, and can adjust larger flanges.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning pin (4) is used to fix a straightening device for flange alignment, so as to prevent the device from failing to be fixed when the set screw (1) is applied. Attached Figure Description
