[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a stainless steel branch pipe welding anti-deformation tooling includes two clamp assemblies and a fastening assembly. The two clamp assemblies are located at both ends of the fastening assembly along its length. The two ends of the clamp assemblies are fixedly connected to the two sides of the fastening assembly along its length. In use, the stainless steel branch pipe is placed between the clamp assemblies and the clamp assemblies.
[0022] Specifically, the fastening assembly includes a strip-shaped clamping body 1, with two nuts 2 symmetrically arranged at both ends of the upper surface of the strip-shaped clamping body 1, and a fastening screw 3 screwed onto each of the two nuts 2, the fastening screw 3 being perpendicular to the upper surface of the strip-shaped clamping body 1; the two ends of the clamping assembly are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the nuts 2.
[0023] More specifically, in order to ensure the stability of the fastening screw abutting against the strip clamp 1, the upper part of the strip clamp 1 is a cuboid part 101 with a hollow structure in the length direction. The nut 2 is located above the upper end face of the cuboid part 101. The fastening screw 3 consists of a threaded section 301, a grooved section 302 and a hemispherical section 303 from top to bottom. The hemispherical section 303 is located inside the hollow structure of the cuboid part 101. The top sidewalls of the cuboid part 101 located on both sides of the strip notch are embedded in the grooved section 302.
[0024] In actual production, sometimes the position of the stainless steel branch pipe overlaps with the position of the clamp assembly, causing the clamp assembly to be unable to be fixed. To solve this technical problem, in some embodiments, strip-shaped notches 1011 extending from the ends to the middle are provided at both ends of the upper end face of the cuboid portion 101. The lower end of the fastening screw 3 extends into the hollow structure of the cuboid portion 101 through the strip-shaped notch 1011. The nut 2 moves along the strip-shaped notch 1011 with the fastening screw 3 and the first-level clamp assembly.
[0025] To ensure the directional stability of the clamp assembly during movement, the strip clamping body 1 further includes an I-beam portion 102 located directly below the cuboid portion 101; the clamp assembly includes a chain 4 and two L-shaped guide plates 5 mirror-symmetrically positioned on both sides of the fastening assembly along its length, with the inner corners of the L-shaped guide plates 5 facing the fastening assembly, the horizontal plate of the L-shaped guide plate 5 placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the I-beam portion 102 and slidably disposed with the I-beam portion 102, and the upper part of the inner side of the vertical plate of the L-shaped guide plate 5 fixedly connected to the nut 2; one end of the chain 4 is directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the outer side of the vertical plate of one of the L-shaped guide plates 5, and the other end of the chain 4 is directly or indirectly detachably connected to the outer side of the vertical plate of the other L-shaped guide plate 5.
[0026] Furthermore, two V-shaped plates 6 are mirror-symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the vertical plates of the two L-shaped guide plates 5, with the two side plates of the V-shaped plates 6 arranged vertically and vertically, and the inner corner of the V-shaped plates 6 facing the L-shaped guide plates 5. The two ends of the chain 4 are respectively connected to the two V-shaped plates 6.
[0027] It is understandable that the outward bend of the V-shaped plate 6 can provide some support for the chain 4, further ensuring the stability of the fixation.
[0028] Furthermore, two ear plates 7 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the outer side of the upper side plate of one of the L-shaped guide plates, and four fixing claws 8 are arranged between the two ear plates 7. The four fixing claws 8 are fixed to the outer side of the upper side plate in a square matrix, and the fixing claws 8 pass through the chain 4 hole of the detachable end of the chain 4.
[0029] To ensure that the chain 4 does not fall off the different fixing claws 8 during the welding process, through holes are provided on the side of the two ear plates 7 away from the V-shaped plate 6. A locking pin 9 passes through the through hole and is detachably connected to the ear plate 7 by nuts 2 at both ends. The locking pin 9 is located between the upper and lower sets of fixing claws 8.
[0030] To ensure that the two clamp assemblies, nut 2 and fastening screw 3 do not fall off the strip clamp 1, both ends of the strip clamp 1 in the length direction are closed ends.
[0031] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
