Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing pipe manufacturing and processing, and in particular to a tooling for cylinder docking. Background Technology
[0002] When fixing two connected cylinders together to form a pipe section, the opening edges of the two cylinders need to coincide when they are joined, that is, the coaxiality of the two cylinders. This prevents the two cylinders from misaligning and causing processing errors. Therefore, when joining, the two cylinders need to be positioned using molds or tooling so that the central axes of the two cylinders are on the same straight line. Usually, the two cylinders are placed on the mold manually. However, after the cylinders are fixed together, the volume will increase, making it difficult for workers to remove them. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling for connecting cylinders, which has the advantage of facilitating the cutting of connected pipe cylinders.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A tooling for cylinder docking includes a gantry frame. The gantry frame includes a base and columns fixed to both sides of the base. A crossbeam is fixedly connected to the upper part between the two columns. A hydraulic press is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. Support seat one and support seat two are fixedly connected to the upper part of the base and the pressure plate of the hydraulic press, respectively. Support seat one includes a base plate and two side plates vertically fixed to its upper part. The two side plates are parallel to each other and have corresponding arc grooves. The centers of the arc grooves of the two side plates are located on the same axis. Support seat two is structurally similar to support seat one. Similarly, the two side plates on the second support base correspond to the two side plates on the first support base. A cylinder and a support rod are hinged to the base surface on each side of the first support base. A support plate is hinged between the output shaft end of the cylinder and the end of the support rod on one side of the first support base. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the two support plates on different sides of the first support base. A groove is provided on the upper surface of the support plate. Two cylinders are hinged to the base. The output shafts of the two cylinders are hinged to the support rod. A material rack is placed on the side of the gantry hydraulic press.
[0006] Using the above technical solution, two cylinders are placed in the arc grooves of the two side plates on support base one, so that the two openings of the two cylinders contact each other. The hydraulic press drives support base two to descend, and support base two drives its two side plates to contact the corresponding two side plates on support base two, so that the two arc grooves close to form a complete circular hole, thereby embedding the two cylinders and fixing them in place. This prevents the cylinders from shifting or misaligning when they are fixedly connected together, which would cause processing errors. Then, the two cylinders are fixedly connected at the joint. After the connection is complete, the hydraulic press drives support base two to rise, and its upper side plates move away from the cylinders. The second cylinder drives the two support rods on both sides of the support base to rotate. Each support rod drives the cylinder on the same side to rotate through the support plate. The rotation of the support rod and the cylinder drives the support plate to rotate. The angle of the support plate remains unchanged during the rotation, and it is always in a horizontal rotation state. The two support plates rotate until they contact the two cylinders respectively, and drive the connected cylinders to rise away from the arc groove of the side plate. Then the second cylinder stops outputting. The output shaft of the first cylinder extends and pushes the support plate to rotate relative to the support rod. The support plate drives the cylinder to rotate. After the support plate rotates to a certain angle, the cylinder rolls from the support plate onto the material rack, which facilitates the unloading of the two cylinders that are fixedly connected together.
[0007] In the above technical solution, inclined surfaces are respectively provided on both sides of the groove of the support plate.
[0008] Using the above technical solution, after the support plate drives the cylinder to rotate at a certain angle, it does not need to rotate 90 degrees. The cylinder can roll along the inclined surface of the groove side of the support plate onto the material rack, which is convenient for unloading.
[0009] Preferably, a rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the bottom of the groove.
[0010] Using the above technical solution, during processing, the rotating wheel on the support plate supports the cylinder. When processing different parts of the connecting seam between the two cylinders, the cylinder is rotated, and the cylinder drives the rotating wheel to rotate, reducing the friction on the cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, a second support plate with the same structure as the first support plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate, and the second support plate is located between the two side plates of the first support base.
[0012] Using the above technical solution, cylinder one and support rod drive support plate one and connecting plate fixed to support plate one to rotate. The connecting plate drives support plate two to support the connection point of the two cylinders that are fixed together, so that the cylinders after docking are evenly stressed and prevented from breaking in the middle.
[0013] Preferably, the gantry frame has multiple placement platforms integrally formed on the side of the uprights.
[0014] Using the above technical solution, the tools that need to be used can be placed on the placement table.
[0015] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the surface of the arc groove.
[0016] The above technical solution is adopted to prevent the sharp edges of the arc groove from damaging the cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0025] See Figures 1 to 4A tooling for cylinder docking includes a gantry frame 1, which comprises a base and columns fixed to both sides of the base. The sides of the columns are integrally formed with multi-layered placement platforms 14 on which tools can be placed. A crossbeam is fixedly connected to the upper part between the two columns, and a hydraulic press 2 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. Support base one and support base two are fixedly connected to the upper part of the base and the pressure plate of the hydraulic press 2, respectively. Support base one includes a base plate and two side plates 3 vertically fixed to its upper part. The two side plates 3 are parallel to each other and have corresponding arc grooves 4. The centers of the arc grooves 4 on the two side plates 3 are located on the same axis. Rubber pads are attached to the surface of the arc grooves 4 to prevent the sharp edges of the arc grooves from damaging the cylinder. Support base two has the same structure as support base one, and the two side plates 3 on support base two correspond to the two side plates 3 on support base one.
[0026] See Figures 4 to 5 Each side of the base surface of support seat 1 is hinged with a cylinder 5 and a support rod 6, respectively. A support plate 7 is hinged between the output shaft end of cylinder 5 and the end of support rod 6 on one side of support seat 1. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected between the two support plates 7 on different sides of support seat 1. A second support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate 8, and the second support plate 13 is located between the two side plates 3 of support seat 1. The upper surfaces of support plate 1 7 and support plate 13 are provided with grooves 9. Inclined surfaces 11 are provided on both sides of the grooves 9. After the support plate drives the cylinder to rotate at a certain angle, it does not need to rotate 90 degrees. The cylinder can roll along the inclined surfaces 11 on the side of the groove 9 of the support plate to the material rack, which is convenient for unloading. The bottom of the groove 9 is rotatably connected to a wheel 12. During processing, the wheel 12 on support plate 1 7 supports the cylinder. When processing different parts of the connection seam between the two cylinders, the cylinder is rotated, and the cylinder drives the wheel 12 to rotate, reducing the friction on the cylinder. Two cylinders 210 are hinged to the base, and the output shafts of the two cylinders 210 are respectively hinged to the support rod 6. A material rack is placed on the side of the gantry hydraulic press 2.
[0027] Working principle: Two cylinders are placed in the arc grooves 4 of the two side plates 3 on support base one, so that the two openings of the two cylinders are in contact. Hydraulic press 2 drives support base two to descend, and support base two drives its two side plates 3 to contact the corresponding two other side plates 3 on support base two, so that the two arc grooves 4 close to form a complete circular hole, thereby embedding the two cylinders and fixing them in place. This prevents the cylinders from shifting or misaligning when the two cylinders are fixedly connected together, which would cause processing errors. Then, the two cylinders are fixedly connected together at the joint.
[0028] After connection, hydraulic press 2 drives support base 2 to rise, and its upper side plate 3 moves away from the cylinder. Cylinder 2 10 drives the support rods 6 on both sides of support base 1 to rotate. Each support rod 6 drives cylinder 5 on the same side of it through support plate 1 7. The rotation of support rod 6 and cylinder 1 5 drives support plate 1 7 to rotate. Support plate 1 7 drives support plate 2 13 to rotate through connecting plate 8. The angle of support plate 1 7 and support plate 2 13 remains unchanged during the rotation, and they are always in a horizontal rotation state. The two support plates 1 7 rotate until they contact the two cylinders respectively, and support plate 2 13 contacts both cylinders. Then, the cylinder connected together rises away from the arc groove 4 of side plate 3. Then cylinder 2 10 stops outputting, and the output shaft of cylinder 1 5 extends to push the support plate to rotate relative to the support rod 6. The support plate drives the cylinder to rotate. After the support plate rotates a certain angle, the cylinder rolls along the inclined surface 11 on the side of the groove 9 of the support plate onto the material rack, making it easy to remove the two cylinders fixedly connected together from the docking fixture.
