Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding fixture technology, specifically a fixture for automated overlay welding of the sealing surface of a wedge gate valve. Background Technology

[0002] The mechanization and automation of welding processes represent a significant advancement in modern welding technology. This not only signifies higher welding production efficiency and better welding quality but also greatly improves working conditions. Plasma arc powder cladding, due to its advantages such as fast cladding speed, low dilution rate, high bonding strength, and good stability, is widely used in the plasma arc cladding of valve sealing surfaces. In the automated cladding of wedge gate valves, because the sealing surface has an angle, a reliable fixture is needed to level, lock, and position the workpiece. Therefore, an automated welding fixture is required. Utility Model Content

[0005] A fixture for automated welding of the sealing surface of a wedge gate valve includes a hand-cranked stud, a support base, a straightening disc, a leveling seat, a nut, and a bearing. The support base is fixedly installed on one side of the straightening disc, and the leveling seat is located on the upper part of the straightening disc. The hand-cranked stud is rotatably installed on the support base. A through hole is provided on one side of the front of the leveling seat, and the end of the hand-cranked stud passes through the through hole provided on the leveling seat. The nut and the bearing are provided on the hand-cranked stud and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the through hole provided on the leveling seat.

[0018] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 A fixture for automated welding of the sealing surface of a wedge gate valve is characterized by comprising a hand-cranked stud 1, a support base 2, a straightening disc 3, a leveling seat 4, a nut 5, and a bearing 6. The support base 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the straightening disc 3. The leveling seat 4 is disposed on the upper part of the straightening disc 3, and the hand-cranked stud 1 is rotatably mounted on the support base 2. A through hole 12 is provided on one side of the front of the leveling seat 4, and the end of the hand-cranked stud 1 passes through the through hole 12 on the leveling seat. The nut 5 and the bearing 6 are disposed on the hand-cranked stud 1 and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the through hole 12 on the leveling seat 4. A long keyway 7 and a T-slot 8 are provided on one side plane of the straightening disc 3. An inclined surface 11 is provided on the front of the leveling seat 4, and a countersunk hole 10 is provided on the inclined surface 11. A long keyway 9 is provided on the back of the leveling seat 4.

[0020] Before welding, first fix the straightening disc 3 on the bottom rotating mechanism, then install the set of fixtures in sequence, and place the wedge gate valve on the leveling seat 4. The sealing surface of the wedge gate valve is leveled by the leveling seat 4. The specific leveling method is as follows: if the inclination angle between the sealing surface of the wedge gate valve and the vertical center line of the valve plate is θ, then set the inclination angle of the leveling seat 4 to 2θ. At this time, after placing the wedge gate valve on the inclination surface of the leveling seat 4, the sealing surface of the wedge gate valve will be in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the sealing surface can be leveled by setting an inclination on the leveling seat 4. The calibration disc 3 is equipped with a long keyway 7. A flat key is placed in the long keyway, and the long keyway 9 of the leveling seat 4 is aligned with the flat key. The leveling seat 4 is then pushed onto the calibration disc 3. At this time, the leveling seat 4 can only move left and right on the calibration disc 3. A dial indicator is then used to correct the concentricity of the sealing surface. After correction, the screw placed in the countersunk hole 10 on the inclined surface of the leveling seat 4 is tightened to complete the positioning and locking of the wedge gate valve. This achieves automated welding of the sealing surface of the wedge gate valve, which is applicable to the positioning and locking of various specifications of the same type, improving the welding quality and production efficiency of the welded parts.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
