Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tooling for corrugated pipe welding, and in particular to an inner diameter support tooling for corrugated pipe welding. Background Technology

[0002] Corrugated pipes mainly include metal corrugated pipes, corrugated expansion joints, corrugated heat exchange tubes, diaphragm boxes, and metal hoses. Metal corrugated pipes are mainly used to compensate for pipeline thermal deformation, reduce vibration, and absorb pipeline settlement deformation. They are widely used in petrochemical, instrumentation, aerospace, chemical, power, cement, metallurgical and other industries.

[0003] When manufacturing metal bellows, since they are mainly used to compensate for pipeline thermal deformation, damping, and absorbing pipeline settlement, their length is usually relatively short. Furthermore, flanges need to be welded to the ends of the metal bellows to facilitate subsequent connection of the metal bellows. When welding the metal bellows and flanges, a support device is first used to support and position the bellows and flanges before welding.

[0004] However, the existing support devices are inconvenient to support and fix metal bellows of different sizes during use, and the fixing effect is relatively poor. Misalignment is easy to occur during welding, and the pipes cannot be rotated after being fixed. This makes it inconvenient to weld metal bellows and flanges, and their practicality is insufficient. Utility Model Content

The two sets of star-shaped transmission discs are symmetrically slidably mounted on the star-shaped fixed frame through cooperation with the guide groove. Three sets of connecting seats are fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two sets of star-shaped transmission discs. The outer side of the three sets of support plates is arc-shaped, and the inner side of each set of support plates is symmetrically rotatably connected to two sets of support arms. The end of the support arm away from the support plate is rotatably connected to the connecting seat. The bottom end of the support plate contacts the top end of the turntable. The pressing mechanism includes three sets of cylinders. The top of the outer side of each of the three sets of support plates is fixedly connected to a fixed plate. The three sets of cylinders are respectively fixedly mounted on the three sets of fixed plates. The output end of the cylinder passes through the fixed plate. The output end of each of the three sets of cylinders is fixedly connected to a pressure plate. The inner side of the pressure plate contacts the outer side of the support plate.
