Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline mold alignment technology, specifically a high-precision mold alignment device for PTFE-lined pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] The high-precision molds for PTFE-lined pipes stem from the stringent requirements of the chemical industry for corrosion-resistant and high-pressure-resistant pipelines. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with its excellent chemical inertness, temperature resistance, and low coefficient of friction, is an ideal choice for lining materials. However, traditional molds used in manufacturing PTFE-lined pipes often face problems such as uneven lining thickness, easy pipe detachment, and interlayer cracking, leading to unstable pipe performance under negative pressure or high-temperature conditions. To solve these problems, high-precision mold technology has emerged. This technology, through optimized mold design and combined with processes such as isobaric molding and integral molding sintering, ensures a uniform and dense PTFE lining layer, effectively resisting negative pressure and high-temperature environments.
[0003] In existing technologies, when placing the pipe and the center rod of the auxiliary mold together for PTFE filling, the center points of the pipe and the center rod need to be manually aligned. However, manual adjustment often results in slight deviations, leading to uneven thickness or distribution of the PTFE lining layer inside the pipe. This can cause problems to appear during long-term use of the PTFE-lined pipe. Utility Model Content

[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] I. This utility model, through its centering mechanism, enables pipe bodies of different sizes and widths to achieve centering with the central rod without requiring manual adjustment by operators. This prevents uneven thickness during PTFE lining, improves the quality of the PTFE lining, and ensures that the pipe can be used for a longer period after PTFE lining, thus extending its service life.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0025] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a high-precision mold centering device for PTFE-lined pipes, including a base 1, a central rod 2 slidably attached to the surface of the base 1, the base 1 being "T"-shaped, a pipe body 3 slidably connected to the surface of the base 1, a centering mechanism 4 provided on the surface of the central rod 2, the centering mechanism 4 including a slip ring 401, the slip ring 401 being slidably connected to the arc surface of the central rod 2, a screw 402 threadedly connected to the surface of the slip ring 401, an extension rod 404 fixedly connected to the arc surface of the slip ring 401, a rotating plate 407 rotatably connected to the surface of the extension rod 404, a connecting frame 409 fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating plate 407, a bidirectional screw 410 rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting frame 409, and a threaded connection on the surface of the bidirectional screw 410. Two movable plates 412 are connected, and a limit rod 414 is fixedly connected to the surface of each movable plate 412. The limit rod 414 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 409. An arc plate 413 is fixedly connected to each movable plate 412 near the central rod 2. Four balls 403 are rotatably connected to the surface of the slip ring 401. The four balls 403 are slidably connected to the arc surface of the central rod 2. A sliding hole 405 is opened on the surface of the extension rod 404. A sliding plate 406 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding hole 405. An insertion hole 408 is opened on the surface of the rotating plate 407. The size of the insertion hole 408 is the same as the size of the rotating plate 407. Several sponge strips 411 are glued to the surface of the bidirectional screw 410. The sponge strips 411 are arranged in a circumferential array on the surface of the bidirectional screw 410.
[0026] The center rod 2 is then attached to the base plate 1, completing the fixed placement of the center rod 2. The pipe requiring PTFE lining is then placed through the center rod 2 onto the surface of the base plate 1. Simultaneously, the operator places the slip ring 401 on the surface of the center rod 2. A ball 403 rotates on the surface of the slip ring 401, contacting the arc surface of the center rod 2, allowing the slip ring 401 to slide smoothly on the surface of the center rod 2. The operator then moves the slip ring 401 to a position where the connecting bracket 409 can rotate to the outer arc surface of the pipe body 3. At this point, the screw 402 is rotated, pressing against the surface of the center rod 2, thus limiting the movement of the slip ring 401. Finally, the rotating plate 407 is rotated, moving the connecting bracket 409 to a position parallel to the pipe body 3. The operator then slides the slide plate 406, inserting it into the inner wall of the insertion hole 408. This stabilizes and limits the rotating plate 407, preventing it from rotating during the alignment operation. The operator can then rotate the bidirectional screw 410. The bidirectional screw 410 has a sponge strip 411 on its surface, which improves the comfort of rotating it. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 410 causes the two moving plates 412 to move towards the arc surface of the pipe body 3, simultaneously driving the pipe body 3 to move. When the arc plates 413 on the surfaces of the two moving plates 412 are both in contact with the surface of the pipe body 3, the center rod 2 can achieve alignment with the pipe body 3, preventing uneven thickness during PTFE filling.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the chassis 1 is provided with an auxiliary mechanism 5, which includes two arc-shaped frames 501. Both arc-shaped frames 501 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the chassis 1. Two rollers 502 are rotatably connected to the lower surface of each of the two arc-shaped frames 501. The rollers 502 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the chassis 1. Three sliding rods 505 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped frames 501. A placement plate 506 is fixedly connected to the end of each of the three sliding rods 505 away from the arc-shaped frames 501. Springs 507 are fitted on the surface of rod 505. The two ends of spring 507 are fixedly connected to the placement plate 506 and the arc frame 501 respectively. Several anti-slip strips 508 are glued to the upper surface of the placement plate 506. The anti-slip strips 508 are all made of rubber. The lower surface of the placement plate 506 has a chamfered surface. The size of the placement plate 506 is adapted to the inner wall size of the arc frame 501. Velcro 503 and Velcro 504 are fixedly connected to the surface of the arc frame 501.
[0028] Working principle: Before placing the pipe body 3 on the surface of the base 1, the operator can move the two arc-shaped frames 501 closer together. When they reach the top, the Velcro 504 and Velcro 503 on the surfaces of the two arc-shaped frames 501 can stick together. Then, the operator can place the pipe body 3 on the surface of the arc-shaped frames 501. The placement plate 506 inside the arc-shaped frames 501 will be driven by the spring 507 to press against the surface of one end of the pipe body 3. The surface of the placement plate 506 has anti-slip strips 508 to improve the stability of the pipe body 3. When using the centering mechanism 4, the bidirectional screw 410... When adjusting the alignment of the main pipe body 3 with the center rod 2, the main pipe body 3 is assisted by the arc frame 501 and the bottom roller 502, so that the two moving plates 412 are not subjected to a large force when driving the main pipe body 3 to move, and can be quickly adjusted to the alignment position. After the alignment operation is completed, the operator can press the placement plate 506 so that the placement plate 506 can be hidden inside the arc frame 501. The lower surface of the placement frame has a chamfered surface to prevent jamming during the pressing process. Then the operator can separate the two arc frames 501 and take them out from the bottom of the chassis 1, which increases the practicality of the auxiliary device.
