[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a support fixture for manufacturing pressure vessels, comprising a base, on which an adjustment mechanism and two sets of support mechanisms are provided. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment motor, which is fixedly installed at the right end of the base. A groove is formed at the top of the base, and a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably mounted on the base through the groove. The right end of the bidirectional threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjustment motor. Two sets of slide rails are fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove, and the left and right ends of the two sets of slide rails are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the groove. The two sets of slide rails are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the bidirectional threaded rod.

The vertical plate is slidably mounted on the groove at the top of the base through the cooperation of the slide grooves and slide rails, and the vertical plate is screwed in. A bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the upright plate, which is fitted onto a double-threaded rod. An installation groove is provided on the upright plate, and a dual-axis motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation groove. Worm drive shafts are fixedly connected to the output ends of both sides of the dual-axis motor, with the two sets of worm drive shafts rotating in opposite directions. Support plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the bracket. The worm drive shafts pass through the installation groove and are rotatably mounted on the upright plate and support plates. Two sets of bearing seats are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the bracket. Rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the two sets of bearing seats on the front and the two sets on the right.

Then, by starting the clamping cylinder, the clamping cylinder pushes the rubber... The clamping blocks are positioned at appropriate locations on both sides of the pressure vessel shell, at the front and rear ends. The clamping position of the rubber clamping blocks is higher than the center of gravity, allowing the clamping force to be divided into two components: one horizontally pointing inwards, and the other diagonally downwards towards the center of gravity. This presses the pressure vessel onto the support, supporting and fixing it in place through the cooperation of the rubber clamping blocks and the support. The clamping and fixing of the shell is automatically accomplished through the operation of the adjusting motor, the dual-axis motor, and the clamping cylinder. This makes supporting and fixing the pressure vessel shell more convenient, enhances the support and fixing effect, makes the pressure vessel shell more secure, and improves practicality.

[0018] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope. Example
[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a support fixture for manufacturing pressure vessels, comprising a base 1, on which an adjustment mechanism and two sets of support mechanisms are provided. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment motor 2, which is fixedly installed on the right end of the base 1. A groove is formed at the top of the base 1, and a bidirectional threaded rod 3 is rotatably installed on the base 1 through the groove. The right end of the bidirectional threaded rod 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the adjustment motor 2. Two sets of slide rails 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove, and the left and right ends of the two sets of slide rails 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the groove. The two sets of slide rails 4 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 3. The support mechanism includes a vertical plate 5, on which two sets of slide grooves 6 are symmetrically formed at the bottom. The vertical plate 5 cooperates with the slide rails 4 through the slide grooves 6. The vertical plate 5 is slidably mounted on the groove at the top of the base 1, and screwed onto the double-threaded rod 3. A support 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 5. An installation groove is provided on the vertical plate 5, and a dual-axis motor 8 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the installation groove. Worm gear drive shafts 9 are fixedly connected to both output ends of the dual-axis motor 8, with the two sets of worm gear drive shafts 9 rotating in opposite directions. Support plates 10 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support 7. The worm gear drive shafts 9 pass through the installation groove and are rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 5 and the support plates 10. Two sets of bearing seats 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support 7. Rotating shafts 12 are rotatably mounted on the two sets of bearing seats 11 on the front and the two sets on the right. Worm gears 13 are fixedly sleeved in the middle of the two sets of rotating shafts 12. Each set of worm gear drive shafts 9 meshes with a bracket 14 fixedly sleeved on each set of rotating shafts 12. Clamping cylinders 15 are fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of each set of brackets 14, and rubber clamping blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the output ends of each set of clamping cylinders 15. In use, the distance between the two sets of support seats 7 is adjusted by starting the adjusting motor 2 according to the length of the pressure vessel shell. This adjustment ensures the support seats 7 are positioned appropriately on both sides of the pressure vessel shell. After the distance between the two sets of support seats 7 is adjusted, the pressure vessel shell is hoisted and placed onto the two sets of support seats 7, which support the shell. Then, the dual-shaft motor 8 is started, causing the bracket 14 to rotate to a vertical position. Once the bracket 14 is vertical, the rubber clamping blocks 16 are higher than the pressure vessel shell. The pressure vessel shell's center of gravity is adjusted, and then the clamping cylinder 15 is activated, causing the clamping cylinder 15 to push the rubber clamping block 16 to clamp at appropriate positions on both sides of the pressure vessel shell's front and rear ends. The clamping position of the rubber clamping block 16 is higher than the center of gravity, so that the clamping force of the rubber clamping block 16 can be divided into two components: one horizontally pointing inward, and the other obliquely downward pointing towards the center of gravity. This presses the pressure vessel onto the support 7, so that the pressure vessel is supported and fixed in place by the cooperation of the rubber clamping block 16 and the support 7. The clamping and fixing of the shell is automatically completed by adjusting the operation of the motor 2, the dual-axis motor 8, and the clamping cylinder 15, which makes it easier to support and fix the pressure vessel shell, enhances the support and fixing effect, makes the pressure vessel shell more secure, and improves practicality.
[0020] Two sets of positioning blocks 17 are fixedly connected symmetrically to the left and right ends of the two sets of support bases 7. The bottom of the outer side of the positioning block 17 is inclined, and the top of the positioning block 17 is aligned with the top of the two sides of the support base 7. By setting the positioning block 17, when the dual-axis motor 8 drives the bracket 14 to rotate, when the bracket 14 rotates to the vertical position, the inner side of the bracket 14 just abuts against the inclined surface under the positioning block 17. Thus, the rotation of the bracket 14 is limited by the positioning block 17 to ensure that the bracket 14 can smoothly rotate to the vertical position.
[0021] Both sets of support bases 7 have anti-slip rubber pads 18 fixedly connected to their top ends. By setting anti-slip rubber pads 18, when the pressure vessel shell is placed on the support base 7, the shell is more securely fixed when the shell is clamped by the rubber clamp 16, preventing the shell from slipping on the support base 7. It also plays a role in anti-collision buffering, preventing the shell from colliding with the support base 7 when it is placed.
[0022] The base 1 is fixedly connected with two sets of mounting ear plates 19 symmetrically at both the front and rear ends; by setting the mounting ear plates 19, the base 1 can be easily fixed with bolts, making it convenient to fix the base 1 on the ground or other platforms.
[0023] This utility model discloses a support fixture for manufacturing pressure vessels. In operation, the support 14 is initially in the open outer position. Based on the length of the pressure vessel shell, the adjusting motor 2 is activated, driving the bidirectional threaded rod 3 to rotate. This causes the bidirectional threaded rod 3 to drive the vertical plate 5 to slide along the slide rail 4, which in turn moves the support 7, thus adjusting the distance between the two sets of support 7. By adjusting the distance between the two sets of support 7, the support 7 can be positioned appropriately on both sides of the pressure vessel shell. After the distance between the two sets of support 7 is adjusted, the pressure vessel shell is hoisted and placed onto the two sets of support 7, which support the shell. Then, the dual-axis motor 8 is activated, driving the worm gear transmission shaft... 9 rotates, and the worm gear drive shaft 9 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate through meshing with the worm wheel 13. The rotating shaft 12 causes the bracket 14 to rotate inward and turn to vertical. After the bracket 14 is turned to vertical, the rubber clamp 16 is higher than the center of gravity of the pressure vessel shell. Then, by activating the clamping cylinder 15, the clamping cylinder 15 pushes the rubber clamp 16 to clamp at appropriate positions on both sides of the front and rear ends of the pressure vessel shell. The clamping position of the rubber clamp 16 is higher than the center of gravity, so that the clamping force of the rubber clamp 16 can be divided into two components, one horizontally pointing inward and the other obliquely downward pointing towards the center of gravity. This presses the pressure vessel onto the support 7, so that the pressure vessel is supported and fixed by the cooperation of the rubber clamp 16 and the support 7, thus completing the clamping and fixing of the shell.
[0024] The support fixture for manufacturing pressure vessels of this utility model has common mechanical installation, connection and setting methods. As long as it can achieve its beneficial effect, it can be implemented. The adjusting motor 2, dual-axis motor 8 and clamping cylinder 15 of the support fixture for manufacturing pressure vessels of this utility model are purchased from the market. Technical personnel in this industry only need to install and operate it according to the accompanying instruction manual.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
