[0020] Example 1, as Figure 1-2As shown, a necked welding flange includes a disc body 1. The outer surface of the disc body 1 has a plurality of mounting holes 4, which are distributed circumferentially on the outer surface of the disc body 1. A neck tube 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the disc body 1. A positioning structure 2 is installed on one side of the disc body 1 by fasteners 6 to position the angle between the pipe connected to the neck tube 3 and the neck tube 3 to prevent skewing.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment: the positioning structure 2 includes two slot blocks 21. The outer surface of the slot block 21 has through holes of the same specifications as the mounting holes 4 on the outer surface of the disc body 1. A slide rod 22 is slidably connected to one side of the slot block 21. A positioning block 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 22. The bottom surface of the positioning block 23 is arc-shaped. A round rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod 22. The round rod 24 slides on the top of the inner wall of the slot block 21. A spring 25 is provided at the top of the slide rod 22. The two ends of the spring 25 are fixed to the top of the slide rod 22 and one side of the slot block 21, respectively. The connection is as follows: an L-shaped block 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the groove block 21; the top of the round rod 24 slides on the inner wall of the L-shaped block 26; a threaded ring 27 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the round rod 24; the threaded ring 27 is located between the groove block 21 and the L-shaped block 26; by setting the positioning block 23, when welding the flange to the pipe, first, the two groove blocks 21 are attached to one side of the outer surface of the disc body 1, so that the two groove blocks 21 are in opposite positions on one side of the disc body 1 and the through holes on the outer surface of the groove blocks 21 are aligned with the mounting holes 4 on the outer surface of the disc body 1; then, fasteners 6 are used to pass through. The slot block 21 is installed on the outer surface of the disc body 1 through the through hole on the outer surface of the slot block 21 and the mounting hole 4 on the outer surface of the disc body 1. Then, one end of the pipe is fitted onto the outside of the neck tube 3 on one side of the disc body 1, aligning the center of the pipe with that of the neck tube 3. When the pipe is inserted into the outer surface of the neck tube 3, it contacts one end of the two positioning blocks 23, which pushes the positioning blocks 23 on one side of the slot block 21, causing the slide rod 22 to slide towards the L-shaped block 26 on one side of the slot block 21 and compress the spring 25. After one end of the pipe is fitted tightly onto the outside of the neck tube 3, the spring 25 will push the positioning blocks 23 to... One side of the positioning block 23 is attached to the outer surface of the pipe. When welding is required, the threaded ring 27 on the outer side of the round rod 24 is rotated so that the threaded ring 27 moves in the direction of the L-shaped block 26 on the outer surface of the round rod 24. One side of the threaded ring 27 is pressed against the surface of the L-shaped block 26 so that the round rod 24 and the sliding rod 22 will no longer move. Then the connection between the pipe and the neck pipe 3 is welded. During the welding process, the two positioning blocks 23 restrict the relative position between the pipe and the neck pipe 3 to prevent the position of the pipe from deviating from the neck pipe 3 during the welding process.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-4As shown in this embodiment: several auxiliary grooves 5 are provided on the outer surface of the neck tube 3. The auxiliary grooves 5 are arranged on the outer surface of the neck tube 3. When welding the pipe to the neck tube 3, one end of the pipe is fitted onto the outer surface of the neck tube 3 and locked in the auxiliary groove 5 on the outside of the neck tube 3, which facilitates the centering of the neck tube 3 and the pipe.
[0023] Reference Figure 2-4 As shown in this embodiment: a number of protrusions 28 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded ring 27. The protrusions 28 are circumferentially distributed on the outer surface of the threaded ring 27. By pressing the protrusions 28 on the outer surface of the threaded ring 27 with your hand, it is easier to push the threaded ring 27 to rotate and it is not easy to slip. A reinforcing block 29 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slide rod 22. The two ends of the reinforcing block 29 are fixedly connected to the side of the slide rod 22 near the groove block 21 and the side of the slide rod 22 near the positioning block 23, respectively. By setting the reinforcing block 29, the shape of the outer surface of the slide rod 22 can be reinforced, and the shape of the outer surface of the slide rod 22 can be prevented from deforming due to the force on the bottom end of the positioning block 23. A rubber gasket 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning block 23. By setting the rubber gasket 210, the positioning block 23 fits more tightly and is not easy to slip when it is pressed against the outer surface of the pipe welded to the neck pipe 3.
[0024] Reference Figure 2-4 As shown in this embodiment: a positioning piece 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the slot block 21. The outer surface of the positioning piece 211 is arc-shaped. When the slot block 21 is installed, the inner arc of the positioning block 23 can fit against the edge of the outer surface of the disk body 1, which facilitates quick positioning between the slot block 21 and the disk body 1 and makes it convenient to install the slot block 21.
[0025] Working principle: When welding the flange to the pipe, first, attach the two slotted blocks 21 to one side of the outer surface of the disc body 1, so that the two slotted blocks 21 are in opposite positions on one side of the disc body 1 and the through holes on the outer surface of the slotted blocks 21 are aligned with the mounting holes 4 on the outer surface of the disc body 1. Then, use fasteners 6 to pass through the through holes on the outer surface of the slotted blocks 21 and the mounting holes 4 on the outer surface of the disc body 1 to install the slotted blocks 21 on the outer surface of the disc body 1. Next, fit one end of the pipe onto the outside of the neck tube 3 on one side of the disc body 1, aligning the center of the pipe with the center of the neck tube 3. When the pipe is inserted into the outer surface of the neck tube 3, it contacts one end of the two positioning blocks 23, which pushes the positioning blocks 23 on one side of the two slotted blocks 21, causing the sliding rod 22 to move in an L-shape on one side of the slotted blocks 21. The block 26 slides in the direction of the spring 25 and compresses the pipe. After one end of the pipe is fitted tightly against the outside of the neck 3, the spring 25 will push the positioning block 23 so that one side of the positioning block 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the pipe. When welding is required, the threaded ring 27 on the outside of the round rod 24 is rotated so that the threaded ring 27 moves in the direction of the L-shaped block 26 on the outer surface of the round rod 24. One side of the threaded ring 27 is pressed against the surface of the L-shaped block 26 so that the round rod 24 and the sliding rod 22 will no longer move. Then the connection between the pipe and the neck 3 is welded. During the welding process, the two positioning blocks 23 restrict the relative position between the pipe and the neck 3 to prevent the position of the pipe from deviating from the neck 3 during the welding process.
