Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container crane technology, and more specifically, to a tooling for flipping and welding box girder structures. Background Technology
[0002] Box girder structures are the main load-bearing components of lifting equipment and an important part of achieving lifting functions. Their welding requires operators to perform flat welding operations. However, the weld seams are complex, with many vertical and bottom-view weld seams. The welding construction requirements are high. Moreover, the main body of the box girder is heavy and highly dependent on the overhead crane equipment. A separate overhead crane must be used to continuously lift and rotate the main body of the box girder to adjust the welding position. Then, the main body of the girder can be supported with wooden blocks or raised frames before welding can be carried out. The process is quite complicated. The heavy weight and large size also make the lifting and rotating operations very inconvenient and pose serious safety hazards. The various shortcomings such as low production efficiency and high safety risks are increasingly unsuitable for the needs of modern production.
[0003] In view of the above, there is an urgent need to design a new type of welding fixture to meet the stringent welding requirements of the main structure of the lifting box girder. The new welding fixture should also be able to achieve a flipping function to stop the movement in time and ensure safety. Utility Model Content

At least two main supports 1 are provided, which support the box girder structure flipping and welding fixture and the box girder structure 9; the main support 1 is provided with locking bolts 2 for locking the rotary table. The rotary table is used to fix the box girder structure 9 and drive the box girder structure 9 to flip; the rotary table is composed of a rotating base plate 7 and a rotating top plate 4; one end of the rotating top plate 4 is rotatably connected to the rotating base plate 7; the other end of the rotating top plate 4 is movably connected to the rotating base plate 7, and the rotating top plate 4 opens and closes through the insertion and removal of the pull-out plug 3.
[0033] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the main support 1 serves as the load-bearing device for the various components of the box girder structure's flipping and welding fixture; two or more supports jointly bear the box girder structure. Combined with...Figure 3 As shown in (a) and (b), the main support 1 includes a support base plate 11 and a support frame 12 vertically mounted on the support base plate 11. A reinforcing plate 13 is provided between the support base plate 11 and the support frame 12 (see Figure 1). Figure 3 As shown in (c)); the support frame 12 has an arc-shaped groove that matches the turntable. The arc-shaped groove of the support frame 12 contains a roller assembly 8 for driving the turntable to rotate; this roller assembly 8 reduces the resistance to rotating the turntable, enabling easy rotation of the main body of the box girder structure. The locking bolt 2 locks the position of the turntable and the main support 1 by tightening and loosening it.
[0034] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the rotary table, as the main component for realizing the tooling flipping function, is a circular or arc-shaped disc structure formed by the closed rotary base 7 and rotary top 4; the rotary base 7 and rotary top 4 are arc-shaped structures with openings and matching each other. The rotary top 4 is rotatably connected to the rotary base 7 through a cylindrical threaded pin 6; the cylindrical threaded pin 6 is used to connect the rotary top 4 and the rotary base 7. The pull-out plug 3 is a key component for opening and closing the rotary top 4 and the rotary base 7. Pulling out the pull-out plug 3 can open the closed rotary table to facilitate subsequent support of the box girder structure; inserting the pull-out plug 3 can lock the two together, and the rotary top 4 and the rotary base 7 cooperate to form the rotary table; the pull-out plug 3 can be a pull-out fixing pin.

(Combined with...) Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the rotating top plate 4 is provided with a crossbeam 14, and the crossbeam 14 is provided with clamping bolts 5 for clamping the box girder structure.

[0036] Combination Figure 6As shown, the box girder structure flipping and welding fixture in this embodiment can be manually rotated by turning the turntable on the main support 1, thereby flipping the box girder structure and completing the welding operation. The specific process is as follows: Select two sets of fixtures according to the specifications of the box girder structure (or multiple sets as needed), and place them symmetrically; rotate the turntable on the main support 1 so that the turntable base 7 is in a horizontal position with the opening facing upwards, then remove the plug-in fixing pin, lift the turntable top plate 4 upwards, and open the turntable; use a crane to hoist the main body of the box girder structure onto the turntable base 7, then close the turntable top plate 4, insert the plug-in fixing pin, and tighten the clamping bolt 5; then, by rotating the turntable, the box girder structure can be flipped.
