[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a sizing fixture solution for large-diameter submerged arc welded pipes: It includes a frame 1, on which a sizing mechanism 2 is mounted. The sizing mechanism 2 is used to sizing the welded pipe. A guide mechanism 4 is provided at the inlet end of the frame 1 to guide the welded pipe into the sizing mechanism 2. The sizing mechanism 2 includes an upper sizing component 3 and a lower sizing component 5, which are arranged vertically opposite to each other. The upper sizing component 3 includes a positioning rod 6 and a clamping rod 7. The two ends of the positioning rod 6 are movably mounted on the frame 1. A locking mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the positioning rod 6. The clamping rod 7 is installed in the middle of the positioning rod 6 and is threadedly connected to the positioning rod 6. An upper sizing plate 9 is installed at the bottom of the positioning rod 6 and is movably connected to the positioning rod 6. The lower sizing assembly 5 includes a lower sizing plate 10 and a support rod 11. The lower sizing plate 10 is movably connected to the support rod 11, and the bottom of the support rod 11 is mounted on the base of the frame 1.
[0021] Furthermore, the upper sizing plate 9 and the lower sizing plate 10 are semi-circular arc structures, and two sets of large-diameter submerged arc welded pipes 12 to be connected are installed between the upper sizing plate 9 and the lower sizing plate 10.
[0022] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism 4 includes a left guide plate 13 and a right guide plate 14, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the entrance end of the frame 1. The left guide plate 13 and the right guide plate 14 are funnel-shaped guiding channels.
[0023] In this embodiment, the flared design of the left guide plate 13 and the right guide plate 14 helps the welded pipe enter the sizing mechanism 2 smoothly and accurately.
[0024] Furthermore, hydraulic rods 15 are installed on the inner sides of the left guide plate 13 and the right guide plate 14. The bottom of the hydraulic rods 15 is fixedly connected to the base of the frame 1, and a support block 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the hydraulic rods 15.
[0025] Furthermore, a semi-circular arc transmission groove 17 is provided on the upper surface of the support block 16, and a transmission roller 18 is installed inside the transmission groove 17. The two ends of the transmission roller 18 are rotatably connected to the support block 16, and a handwheel 19 is connected to one end of the transmission roller 18. The handwheel 19 is connected to the transmission roller 18 in a transmission connection.
[0026] In this embodiment, by rotating the handwheel 19, the transmission roller 18 can be driven to roll in the semi-circular arc transmission groove 17, thereby adjusting the position of the large-diameter submerged arc welded pipe 12.
[0027] Furthermore, a handle lever 20 is mounted on the top of the clamping rod 7.
[0028] In this embodiment, the handle rod 20 is designed to facilitate the operator to apply force, so that the clamping rod 7 can easily and stably clamp the large-diameter submerged arc welded pipe 12.
[0029] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 8 includes a locking block 21, a spring 22, and a handle 23. The locking block 21 is movably installed inside the positioning rod 6. One end of the locking block 21 is connected to the handle 23, and the other end is inserted into the frame 1. The spring 22 is sleeved in the middle position of the handle 23.
[0030] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to fix the position of the positioning rod 6, the operator can pull the handle 23, which moves the locking block 21 and compresses the spring 22, causing one end of the locking block 21 to be pulled out from the frame 1. At this time, the position of the positioning rod 6 can be adjusted. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the handle 23 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 22 pushes the locking block 21 to reset, causing one end of the locking block 21 to be reinserted into the frame 1, thereby locking the position of the positioning rod 6.
[0031] Working Principle: During use, the large-diameter submerged arc welded pipe to be sized is guided by the left guide plate 13 and right guide plate 14 of the guide mechanism 4, and the welded pipe enters the sizing mechanism 2 along the trumpet-shaped guide channel. By rotating the handwheel 19, the handwheel 19 drives the transmission roller 18 to rotate in the semi-circular arc transmission groove 17, thereby adjusting the position of the large-diameter submerged arc welded pipe 12. After the welded pipe enters the sizing mechanism 2, the upper sizing assembly 3 and the lower sizing assembly 5 clamp and sizing the welded pipe. The positioning rod 6 is initially fixed by adjusting its position on the frame 1, and then fixed by the locking mechanism 8. Then, the distance between the upper sizing plate 9 and the lower sizing plate 10 is adjusted by rotating the clamping rod 7 to accommodate welded pipes of different diameters. The threaded connection design of the clamping rod 7 makes the adjustment process more precise and stable. During the sizing process, the semi-circular arc structure of the upper sizing plate 9 and the lower sizing plate 10 can evenly clamp the welded pipe, ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the welded pipe.
