[0027] The following is for reference Figures 1-5 As shown in the illustration, and further illustrated with specific embodiments, this embodiment provides a pipe welding positioning fixture. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The system includes a positioning platform 1, on which a first fixing member 2, a sliding seat 3, a sliding guide rail 4, and a second fixing member 5 are provided. The first fixing member 2 is provided on the positioning platform 1, the second fixing member 5 is provided on the sliding seat 3, and the sliding guide rail 4 is provided on the positioning platform 1. The sliding seat 3 is slidably provided on the sliding guide rail 4. The sliding guide rail 4 includes two parallel straight sections and an arc-shaped section provided between the two straight sections. The first fixing member 2 is located in the space surrounded by the sliding guide rail 4. The first fixing member 2 is used to fix the main pipe 6, and the second fixing member 5 is used to fix the auxiliary pipe 7 to be welded.
[0028] During pipe welding, the main pipe 6 is placed on the positioning table 1 and fixed by the first fixing member 2. Then, the secondary pipe 7 is fixed by the second fixing member 5. When the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 are welded coaxially, the sliding seat 3 moves on the sliding guide rail 4 to drive the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 to be coaxial, and then the welding operation is carried out. When the main pipe 6 is welded laterally, the sliding seat 3 slides on the sliding guide rail 4 to the side wall of the main pipe 6, so that the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 have a certain angle, and then the welding operation is carried out. By adjusting the position of the sliding seat 3 on the sliding guide rail 4, the angle between the pipes can be adjusted, thereby improving the pipe angle adjustment speed and the pipe welding efficiency.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 5 each include two mounting seats 8, which are spaced apart and facing each other. The top surface of the mounting seat 8 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning notch 9, and the axial direction of the positioning notch 9 is parallel to the axial direction of the pipe. A lower pressure plate 10 is provided on the mounting seat 8, which spans the positioning notch 9. The first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 5 also include two positioning balls 11 disposed in the positioning notch 9 and a positioning wheel 12 disposed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 10. The main pipe 6 and the secondary pipe 7 are located in the space surrounded by the two positioning balls 11 and the positioning wheel 12. The lower pressure plate 10 is slidably disposed on the mounting seat 8 and slides in the vertical direction. The first fixing member 2 and the second fixing member 5 also include a first driving member for driving the lower pressure plate 10 to slide.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first driving component includes a hydraulic cylinder 13 mounted on the mounting base 8. The length direction of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13 is perpendicular to the lower pressure plate 10. There are two hydraulic cylinders 13, which are located on both sides of the two positioning balls 11 respectively. The lower pressure plate 10 is mounted on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13.
[0031] Once the pipe enters the positioning notch 9, the hydraulic cylinder 13 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 13 drives the lower pressure plate 10 to move toward the positioning notch 9, which in turn drives the positioning wheel 12 to move toward the pipe and press down on the pipe's circumference, thus fixing the pipe onto the mounting base 8. The operation is simple and convenient. Furthermore, the positioning ball 11 reduces the friction between the pipe and the positioning ball 11, making it easier to adjust the position of the pipe between the two mounting bases 8 and keep the pipe in a horizontal state.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 To facilitate coaxial welding of pipes, in this embodiment, a fixing seat 14 is provided at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 10. The fixing seat 14 is located in the middle of the lower pressure plate 10, and an installation notch 20 is provided at the bottom of the fixing seat 14. The positioning wheel 12 is rotatably mounted in the fixing seat 14 through the installation notch 20, and the peripheral wall of the positioning wheel 12 is located outside the fixing seat 14. A first motor 15 is provided on the fixing seat 14, and the positioning wheel 12 is coaxially mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 15. When the pipes are coaxially welded, the welding end of the pipe is first welded for positioning, and then the first motor 15 is started. The first motor 15 drives the positioning wheel 12 to rotate, and the rotation of the positioning wheel 12 causes the pipe to rotate in the mounting seat 8, which facilitates axial welding of the pipe.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 Furthermore, to improve the welding effect of the pipe, the fixing seat 14 is rotatably mounted on the lower pressure plate 10, and the rotation axis of the fixing seat 14 is perpendicular to the lower pressure plate 10. A second motor 16 is mounted on the top surface of the lower pressure plate 10, and the output shaft of the second motor 16 passes through the lower pressure plate 10. The fixing seat 14 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 16. When the pipe is being welded laterally, the second motor 16 is started, which drives the fixing seat 14 to rotate. The fixing seat 14 carries the positioning wheel 12 to rotate. The positioning wheel 12 rotates to a position perpendicular to the pipe. Then, the first motor 15 is started, which drives the positioning wheel 12 to rotate. The pipe to be welded tends to move towards the welding pipe, and a thrust is applied to the welding joint of the two, so that the two are tightly fitted together, thereby improving the welding effect.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, to facilitate the mounting base 8 to adapt to pipes of different diameters, the positioning ball 11 is slidably disposed in the positioning notch 9. The two positioning balls 11 slide in the arc direction of the positioning notch 9. The two positioning balls 11 move closer or further away from each other to support the pipe. A third fixing member is also included. The third fixing member is used to fix the positioning ball 11 to the position after sliding. The third fixing member includes an arc-shaped groove 17 opened at the bottom of the positioning notch 9. The positioning ball 11 is hemispherical and has an arc-shaped bottom. A sliding plate 18 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the positioning ball 11. The sliding plate 18 is slidably engaged in the arc-shaped groove 17. Furthermore, a rack 19 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the arc-shaped groove 17. An installation notch 20 is opened in the middle of the sliding plate 18 and a gear 21 is rotatably disposed through the installation notch 20. The gear 21 meshes with the rack 19. Furthermore, a fixed motor 22 is also disposed in the sliding plate 18. The gear 21 is fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the fixed motor 22.
[0035] When adjusting the position of the positioning ball 11, the fixed motor 22 is started. The fixed motor 22 drives the gear 21 to rotate. The gear 21 rotates and moves along the rack 19, which drives the slide plate to move in the arc groove 17, which in turn drives the positioning ball 11 to move in the positioning notch 9. The operation is simple and convenient. Moreover, the fixed motor 22 is a motor with a self-locking function, which makes it easy to fix the position of the positioning ball 11.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment of the application, in order to facilitate the movement of the pipe into the positioning notch 9 of the mounting base 8, a connecting hole is provided on one side of the lower pressure plate 10. The lower pressure plate 10 is rotatably mounted on the piston rod of any hydraulic cylinder 13 through the connecting hole. An arc-shaped entry notch 23 is provided on the other side of the lower pressure plate 10. The lower pressure plate 10 is rotated so that the piston rod of another hydraulic cylinder 13 moves into the entry notch 23. The application also includes a fourth fixing member. The fourth fixing member is used to fix the lower pressure plate 10 to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13 after the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13 moves into the entry notch 23.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The fourth fixing component includes two nuts 24 and a threaded section disposed on the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13. Both nuts 24 are threadedly connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13 and are used to clamp the lower pressure plate 10.
[0038] When welding pipes with larger diameters, a hoisting method is usually used to hoist the pipes into the positioning notch 9. At this time, the nut 24 is turned to release the fixation of the lower pressure plate 10. Then, the lower pressure plate 10 is rotated to separate the lower pressure plate 10 from the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 13, thereby opening the positioning notch 9 and making it easier for the pipes to be hoisted from above the mounting base 8 into the positioning notch 9.
[0039] Reference Figure 5In this embodiment, a receiving guide rail 25 is provided on the outer side of the sliding guide rail 4, and a clamping seat 26 is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat 3. A clamping notch 27 is provided at the bottom of the clamping seat 26, and the clamping seat 26 is engaged with the sliding guide rail 4 through the clamping notch 27. Furthermore, two drive rollers 28 are provided inside the clamping seat 26 and through the clamping notch 27. The drive rollers 28 are arranged vertically and clamp the sliding guide rail 4. A third motor 29 is provided inside the clamping seat 26 to drive the drive rollers 28 to rotate and drive the sliding seat 3 to move along the sliding guide rail 4. When adjusting the position of the auxiliary pipe 7, the third motor 29 is started, and the third motor 29 drives the drive rollers 28 to rotate. The rotation of the drive rollers 28 drives the sliding seat 3 to move on the sliding guide rail 4, thereby moving the pipe to the required position. The operation is simple and convenient. Furthermore, under the action of the receiving guide rail 25, the sliding seat 3 is in a balanced state, which facilitates the movement of the sliding seat 3 on the sliding guide rail 4.
[0040] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, a guide roller 30 is rotatably provided inside the clamping seat 26 and through the top wall of the clamping notch 27. The rotation axis of the guide roller 30 is horizontally set, and the top of the receiving guide rail 25 abuts against the peripheral wall of the guide roller 30. Under the action of the guide roller 30, the friction between the sliding seat 3 and the sliding guide rail 4 is reduced, which facilitates the sliding seat 3 to slide on the sliding guide rail 4.
[0041] The implementation principle of a pipe welding positioning fixture in this application embodiment is as follows:
[0042] During pipe welding, the main pipe 6 is placed on the positioning table 1 and fixed by the first fixing member 2. Then, the secondary pipe 7 is fixed by the second fixing member 5. When the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 are welded coaxially, the sliding seat 3 moves on the sliding guide rail 4 to drive the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 to be coaxial, and then the welding operation is carried out. When the main pipe 6 is welded laterally, the sliding seat 3 slides on the sliding guide rail 4 to the side wall of the main pipe 6, so that the secondary pipe 7 and the main pipe 6 have a certain angle, and then the welding operation is carried out. By adjusting the position of the sliding seat 3 on the sliding guide rail 4, the angle between the pipes can be adjusted, thereby improving the pipe angle adjustment speed and the pipe welding efficiency.
