[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] To address the problems of traditional manual handheld flame gun preheating methods, this embodiment provides a tooling bracket specifically designed for wind turbine tower flange alignment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the tooling bracket specifically designed for wind turbine tower flange calibration includes a base 1, a bracket assembly, and a flame gun holder 2. The bracket assembly is fixedly installed at the center of the base 1 and is L-shaped overall. The flame gun holder 2 is installed on one side of the bracket assembly and is used to fix the flame gun. The flame gun is detachably mounted on the flame gun holder 2, and its height and angle relative to the tower welding position can be adjusted via the bracket assembly.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 1 is a steel plate 300 mm long, 300 mm wide, and 20 mm thick, used to fix the entire support assembly; a circular hole with a diameter of 38 mm is opened at the center of the base 1 for mounting the support assembly. Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly in this embodiment is generally L-shaped, including an outer support 3, an inner support 4, and a positioning component for the inner support 4. The outer support 3 is a hollow tube with a diameter of 38 mm and a height of 1000 mm, vertically inserted into the center of the base 1 through a circular hole and welded to the base 1. The inner support 4 is an L-shaped rod with a vertical length of 800 mm and a horizontal length of 335 mm; one end of the inner support 4 is inserted into the outer support 3 and can rotate relative to it, while the other end extends outward and is fitted with a gun mount 2. Considering the rotational positioning of the inner support 4 relative to the outer support 3 and the height adjustment, as... Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a horizontally extending threaded tube is provided on the tube body of the outer support 3. Of course, a nut can also be used instead of the threaded tube. The interior of the threaded tube is connected to the interior of the outer support 3 through an opening. The support positioning member 5 in this embodiment is a T-shaped structure, one side of which is a threaded rod that is threaded to the threaded tube. The end of the threaded rod can extend into the tube body of the outer support 3 and abut against the outer wall of the inner support 4, thereby limiting the rotational positioning and height adjustment of the inner support 4 relative to the outer support 3.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the gun holder 2 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 9, which is a steel plate 110 mm long, 30 mm wide, and 5 mm thick. The mounting plate 9 has mounting holes at its lower part and a gun barrel 10 fixed at its upper part. The gun barrel 10 has a structure similar to the outer bracket 3. It is a hollow tube with a diameter of 38.5 mm and a length of 30 mm, and its outer wall is welded to the mounting plate 9. The tube of the gun barrel 10 has a horizontally extending threaded tube, or a nut can be used instead of the threaded tube. The structure of the spray gun positioning component 11 is similar to that of the bracket positioning component 5. The T-shaped spray gun positioning component 11 is threadedly connected to the threaded tube and can extend into the gun barrel 10 to abut against the outer wall of the flame gun. The function of the gun holder 2 is to fix the flame gun. After the flame gun barrel passes through the gun barrel 10, it is limited by the spray gun positioning component 11.

[0028] Considering the connection issue between the inner bracket 4 and the gun mount 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a threaded hole is opened at the other end of the inner bracket 4, and the gun holder 2 is detachably installed on the other end of the inner bracket 4 through the gun holder positioning component 6. The gun holder positioning component 6 is similar in structure to the spray gun positioning component 11 and the bracket positioning component 5. The gun holder positioning component 6 is a T-shaped structure, with a threaded rod on one side that is threaded to the threaded hole. An abutment bolt 7 is fixedly welded on the threaded rod, and a washer 8 is fitted on it. After the threaded rod of the gun holder positioning component 6 passes through the mounting hole on the mounting plate 9, it is threaded to the other end of the inner bracket 4. After the threaded connection, the abutment bolt 7 on the gun holder positioning component 6, through the washer 8, cooperates with the end face of the inner bracket 4 to fix and clamp the mounting plate 9 of the gun holder 2. This clamping installation method allows the gun holder 2 to be detached and its angle to be adjusted.

[0029] Based on the specific structure of the tooling bracket specifically designed for wind turbine tower flange calibration, its usage process is as follows:

[0030] First, place the outer support 3 and base 1 on a flat, hard surface to ensure foundation stability. Then, install the inner support 4 and the torch holder 2 in sequence. Adjust the height and angle of the inner support 4 according to the preheating and straightening requirements of the wind turbine tower flange welding and the welding position, and use the support positioning piece 5 to limit the inner support 4. Next, pass the flame gun through the torch tube 10 of the torch holder 2, and use the torch positioning piece 11 to limit the flame gun. Finally, adjust the angle of the torch holder 2 relative to the inner support 4, and use the torch holder positioning piece 6 to limit the angle of the torch holder 2. At this point, the preheating and straightening work for the wind turbine tower flange welding can begin.

[0031] This specialized tooling bracket for wind turbine tower flange alignment overcomes the shortcomings of traditional manual preheating methods through its multi-angle and height adjustment capabilities. During use, it is easy to operate, reduces manual intervention, improves construction efficiency, lowers labor costs, and significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of wind turbine tower flange welding. Furthermore, after the wind turbine tower flange welding work is completed, components such as the inner bracket 4 and the gun holder 2 can be retracted or disassembled for easy transport.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
