Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a flat welding fixture for pressure-bearing pipe openings. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure vessels, as key equipment in the industrial field, are widely used in many industries such as petroleum, chemical, energy, and power. In the petrochemical industry, various pressure vessels such as towers and reactors undertake the important tasks of material reaction, separation, and storage. As the connection hub between the pressure vessel and the external piping system, the pressure-bearing nozzles must withstand the long-term effects of high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive media. The welding quality of the nozzles is a key guarantee for the service life of the equipment, and the welding quality of the nozzles is crucial to the use of pressure vessels.

[0003] Currently, manufacturers primarily employ two methods for welding pressure vessel nozzles: one is to purchase specialized automated equipment, such as automatic positioners, automatic roller frames, and dedicated welding machines. Automated equipment is generally expensive, especially for heavy-duty equipment, increasing costs. Furthermore, its adaptability and specificity are insufficient for on-site operations or when encountering nozzles with unique structures, making it difficult to achieve ideal welding results. The other method involves manual or semi-automatic welding, relying on the welder's skills to perform horizontal or all-position welding, incorporating continuous lifting and turning processes to complete the welding of the pressure vessel nozzle. This method demands a high level of skill from the welder, as horizontal or all-position welding is prone to defects, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the weld joint. Moreover, if horizontal welding is to be used, which is easier to operate, auxiliary lifting equipment is required, and the welder needs to operate more meticulously. Completing the welding of a single nozzle often takes a considerable amount of time, severely restricting production progress for mass-produced pressure vessel nozzles and failing to meet the actual production needs of manufacturers.

[0004] Therefore, developing a low-cost, simple-structured, and easy-to-use welding fixture for pressure pipe openings that can be fabricated by welders on-site is of significant practical importance and engineering application value. This fixture can not only save production costs but also facilitate welders' use, providing strong assurance for welding quality in manual or semi-automatic welding applications.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0023] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model provides a flat welding fixture for pressure-bearing pipe openings, consisting of a worktable, rotating rails, positioning rails, and positioning pins. The worktable has a square structure and includes legs, tie rods, and connecting plates for support. The rotating rails consist of two parts, including angle steel, bearings, and bearing fixing pins, providing rotation for the pipe openings. Positioning holes are arranged on the positioning rails. The distance between the two rotating rails is adjusted according to the diameter of the pressure-bearing pipe opening, and the positioning pins are inserted into the positioning holes for limiting the position, thereby adapting to various specifications of pressure-bearing pipe openings for flat welding and ensuring the quality of the circumferential weld of the pressure-bearing pipe opening.

[0025] The workbench includes support legs, tie rods, and connecting plates. The workbench is made of steel, and the components are fixed together by welding to form a stable structure, so as to ensure sufficient rigidity to support the weight of pressure-bearing pipes of different sizes to be welded.

[0026] The legs of the workbench can be made of hollow round tubes, hollow square tubes, or angle steel, which helps to reduce the weight of the workbench itself and facilitates handling on the construction site.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating track can be made of angle steel, and bearings and bearing fixing pins are installed on the rotating track. There are two rotating tracks, which are distributed on both sides below the pressure-bearing pipe opening to be welded.

[0028] Furthermore, the rotating track has square slots to provide space for the bearing to rotate. The bearing is placed into the square slots on the angle steel, and the spacing is adjusted to prevent interference between the bearing and the angle steel when rotating. The bearing retaining pin is then passed through the bearing's center hole on the back of the angle steel and welded firmly to the rotating track, providing a fulcrum for the bearing's rotation.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning track has symmetrically distributed through holes for the insertion of positioning pins, providing a limiting function for the rotating track.

[0030] Furthermore, the distance between the two rotating tracks can be adjusted according to the diameter of the pressure-bearing pipe opening to be welded. When the rotating track is placed on the positioning track, the positioning pin is inserted into the through hole on the positioning track nearby, thus realizing that the workpiece diameter applicable to the flat welding fixture for the pressure-bearing pipe opening is adjustable.

[0031] The embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
