Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding construction technology, and to a portable working cover for welding precast piles. In particular, it relates to a working cover and its method of use that solves the problem that ordinary windproof covers are easy to fall over and have poor windproof effect during welding, which leads to more porosity in the weld of the precast pile body and substandard welding quality. Background Technology
[0002] Modern industrial buildings increasingly adopt pile foundation structures. PHC pipe piles, or prestressed high-strength concrete pipe piles, are hollow cylindrical precast concrete components manufactured using a pre-tensioned prestressed centrifugal molding process and steam-cured at approximately 10 atmospheres (1.0 MPa) and 180°C. The application of PHC precast piles can significantly improve on-site work efficiency. However, on-site construction often requires welding of the pile body. In specific scenarios, such as tropical coastal areas with strong winds, heavy rains, and high humidity, welding is more difficult because the harsh working conditions will affect the number of pores in the weld. Excessive pores in the weld will seriously affect the weld quality, which will greatly affect the pass rate of subsequent strain testing of the pile body.
[0003] CN 220407600 U discloses a windproof cover for welding pipe piles, which uses a support rod and a telescopic rod as the supporting frame of the cover. Although it can effectively protect the working position, its overall structure is complex, its operation is inconvenient and its cost is high. CN 215393386 U discloses a portable windproof cover for welding offshore steel pipe piles. Its structure is reasonable and its windproof effect is good, but its structure is relatively complex and its cost is high, which greatly affects its widespread application in the field.
[0004] Therefore, developing a low-cost and easy-to-operate welding cover that can effectively improve the welding quality of precast piles is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content

[0036] The structure of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the utility model.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] A portable work cover for welding precast piles, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a regular polygonal skeleton and an outer casing;
[0039] The regular polygonal skeleton (regular hexagonal skeleton) is formed by multiple (six) rectangular borders 1 connected end to end, and is arranged with the precast pile 13 as the central axis. The rectangular borders 1 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the rectangular frame 1 has an X-shaped reinforcing rib 2 in the middle, a pin 3 on one side of the rectangular frame 1, and a pin cylinder 4 that matches the pin 3 on the other side. Adjacent rectangular frames 1 are fixed by the cooperation of the pin 3 and the pin cylinder 4, and the rectangular frame 1 is perpendicular to the working surface.
[0040] The outer cover (rainproof cloth) is hung on a regular polygonal frame. The outer cover includes a transparent top cover 9 and side covers 5. The transparent top cover 9 is arranged on the top of the regular polygonal frame. Figure 3As shown, the transparent top cover 9 is equipped with a top cover zipper 10. The transparent top cover 9 is fixed to the precast pile 13 by a drawstring 12. The transparent top cover 9 is tightened and fixed to the side cover 5 as a whole by a pull rope 11. The side cover 5 is located on the outer periphery of the regular polygonal frame. The side cover 5 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the top and bottom sides are fixed with snap buttons 7. The snap buttons are arranged 50mm from the end and 150mm apart. The snap buttons 7 can wrap and fix the side cover 5 to the regular polygonal frame. The two ends of the side cover 5 are sewn with side cover zippers 6. The top and bottom sides of the side cover 5 have side cover holes 8, arranged 80mm from the end and 1000mm apart. The bottom hole can be tied to the working surface with a binding rope to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0041] The aforementioned portable work cover for welding precast piles was successfully applied in the Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron & Steel Hydrogen-based Vertical Furnace System Project (Step 1) Direct Reduction Vertical Furnace Project undertaken by the applicant. The project is located in Zhanjiang. Due to Zhanjiang's unique coastal geographical environment, most of the foundations adopt pile foundation structures, with a total of 2,100 precast piles. The number of precast piles is huge and the sea wind is strong. By applying the aforementioned portable work cover for welding precast piles, a good working environment can be provided for welding, improving welding quality. At the same time, the aforementioned work cover can be directly made using on-site materials.
[0042] The welding requirements for the project are as follows: Conventional construction methods will be used for pile joint welding, employing CO2 gas shielded welding. On-site welders must be trained, pass an examination, and hold a valid certificate. Two welders will work simultaneously on each pile driving unit. Windbreaks must be installed at the welding site during welding to ensure the wind force does not exceed level 2, guaranteeing welding quality. During light rain, rain shelters must be provided to protect the weld from rain and electric shock. The flatness of the joint and the accuracy of the bevel preparation must be checked. Deformation of the pile joint caused by handling, pressing, or other operations should be corrected. Tack welding is required for joint positioning during welding. Tack welds are divided into six sections, each 50-80mm long, symmetrically and evenly distributed. The weld height is 4-5mm. The quality requirements for tack welds are the same as for the final welds. If cracks are found in the tack welds, they must be removed and re-welded. Full welding will be performed after tack welding. During the splicing process, the upper and lower pile sections must be on the same axis. This is observed using two theodolites at a 90° angle. If the misalignment exceeds the specified limit, clamps and wedges are used for alignment. After passing the alignment, symmetrical tack welding is performed. Then, the clamps are used to press down the joint, and the weld scars are ground down with a grinder. The welding time is 3-5 minutes. The requirements for splicing pipe piles should comply with the relevant requirements of "Pre-tensioned Prestressed Concrete Pipe Piles ZJ-001-2013".
[0043] (1) The circumferential seam should be welded symmetrically in layers (generally no less than three layers) and measures should be taken to reduce welding deformation.
[0044] (2) Correctly control the welding current and welding speed.
[0045] (3) The thickness of each weld layer should be uniform, and the weld in the groove must be fully welded.
[0046] (4) The weld should be 1mm higher than the groove.
[0047] (5) The weld must meet the requirements for Class II welds in appearance as specified in GB50205, "Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Steel Structures".
[0048] The method of using the portable work cover for welding precast piles mentioned above includes the following steps:
[0049] (1) Process a rectangular frame with dimensions of 1000mm*800mm. An X-shaped reinforcing rib is welded in the middle. A pin cylinder is welded on one side of the rectangular frame, and a pin (a 7-shaped elbow with a length of 50mm and a 7-shaped elbow 250mm from the bottom) is welded on the other side. Six rectangular frames are arranged around the precast pile as the center and the ends of the rectangular frames are connected to form a regular hexagonal skeleton.
[0050] (2) The side cover is attached to the outside of the regular polygonal frame. Both the top and bottom sides are fixed with push-buttons. The push-buttons are arranged 50mm from the end and 150mm apart. The push-buttons can wrap and fix the side cover to the regular polygonal frame. The two ends of the side cover are sewn with side cover zippers. The top and bottom sides of the side cover have side cover holes arranged 80mm from the end and 1000mm apart. The bottom hole can be tied to the working surface with a binding rope to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0051] (3) Install the transparent top cover. The middle part of the transparent top cover is fixed to the precast pile by the binding rope, and the outer edge of the transparent top cover is tightened and fixed to the side cover as a whole by the pull rope.
[0052] (4) When carrying out welding work, the on-site workers can enter the portable work cover for welding precast piles through the zipper of the side cover to carry out the work, that is, to weld the pile tip and the pile body joint on site. In windy and rainy weather, it can greatly improve the welding quality of the pile material.
[0053] (5) After the work is completed, remove the transparent top cover and side cover and dismantle the regular polygonal frame for reuse in other places to save resources and reduce usage costs.
[0054] Verification has shown that the portable work cover for precast pile welding of this utility model has a reasonable and simple structural design. The outer cover uses a regular polygonal frame as a fixed foundation, which has good wind resistance and stability. The frame is assembled from multiple rectangular frames of the same specifications. The rectangular frames can be processed on-site using common materials, which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture and disassemble. The transparent top cover of the outer cover provides external light to the working space inside the cover (facilitating lighting). The side covers use mature products on the market, which are inexpensive. The portable work cover for precast pile welding is easy to operate and can be quickly disassembled and assembled. It provides a windless and rainless working environment for welding precast piles, thereby significantly improving welding quality. At the same time, the work cover is easy to disassemble and assemble, can be reused multiple times on-site, has low overall operating costs, and has good application prospects.
