Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen storage tank liner processing technology, and in particular to welding and cutting equipment for hydrogen storage tank liner. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen storage tanks are commonly used for centralized transportation of hydrogen. Due to the special physicochemical properties of hydrogen, it is prone to accidents such as deflagration and is classified as a dangerous transport item, requiring extremely high standards for its transportation. Therefore, the processing quality of the welding of the hydrogen tank liner is of paramount importance. Currently, the processing equipment for welding and cutting the hydrogen storage tank liner requires different clamping mechanisms at the welding and cutting stations to hold the liner. Furthermore, a transfer mechanism is needed to transport the hydrogen storage tank liner, which has been welded at the welding station and released by one clamping mechanism, to the cutting station to be clamped by another clamping mechanism. This not only results in low work efficiency but also makes it easy for the hydrogen storage tank liner to be placed unevenly during transfer, affecting the processing quality. Additionally, the relatively large distance between the welding and cutting stations further reduces the overall processing efficiency.

[0003] In summary, existing processing equipment suffers from technical problems such as low processing quality and low processing efficiency when processing the inner liner of hydrogen storage tanks. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low processing quality and low processing efficiency, by providing a welding and cutting device for hydrogen storage tank liners. The device includes: a first clamping device and a second clamping device facing each other, used to clamp a first hydrogen storage tank liner and a second hydrogen storage tank liner respectively; an infrared heating device, including an infrared heating component, which moves in or out between the first and second clamping devices, heating the respective end faces of the two hydrogen storage tank liners to be welded when the infrared heating component moves out of between the first and second clamping devices; a first pressing device and a second pressing device facing each other, which press against the first and second hydrogen storage tank liners respectively after the infrared heating component moves out of between them, pressing the end faces of the two liners to be welded together to obtain a complete hydrogen storage tank liner; and a cutting device for cutting the weld seam on the outer periphery of the hydrogen storage tank liner.

[0005] Furthermore, both the first and second clamping devices include: a support frame, comprising a hollow support cylinder and a support ring protruding from the outer periphery of one end of the support cylinder, wherein the inner liner of the first or second hydrogen storage tank is spaced apart within the support cylinder; multiple grippers, arranged circumferentially on the support ring and movable radially along the support ring, each gripper having a clamping surface facing the central axis of the support ring, and each gripper's clamping surface having a conformal shape adapted to the inner liner of the first or second hydrogen storage tank; a drive ring connected to the support ring; a drive mechanism driving the drive ring to rotate to drive each gripper to move closer or further away from the central axis of the support ring radially; a rotating ring fixedly connected to the support cylinder; and a rotating mechanism driving the rotating ring to rotate, thereby enabling the rotating ring to drive one of the inner liners of the hydrogen storage tank held by the grippers to rotate around the central axis of the support ring; the outer ring of the rotating ring is provided with a driven gear; The moving mechanism includes a rotating motor and a drive gear. The drive gear meshes with the driven gear. The rotating motor drives the drive gear to rotate, thereby causing the support ring to rotate. As a result, multiple jaws rotate synchronously with the support ring. The infrared heating component has two heating surfaces. When the two heating welding end surfaces are heated, the jaws of each clamping device move closer together, so that the clamping surfaces of each jaw form a clamping surface for attaching and holding the circumferential outer surface of the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank or the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank. The rotating motor drives the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank or the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank to rotate, and the infrared heating component moves between the two clamping devices under the drive of the moving motor and heats the two heating welding end surfaces at the same time. After the two heating welding end surfaces have been heated, the infrared heating component moves out between the two clamping devices under the drive of the moving motor, the rotating motor stops working, and the two heating welding end surfaces are pressed together to obtain the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping and turning device also includes a guide mechanism with the same number of grippers. Each gripper includes a snap-fit ​​plate and a force-transmitting plate. The snap-fit ​​plate has a snap-fit ​​surface. A pair of guide blocks are fixed at intervals to the side of the support ring facing away from the drive ring. A guide groove is located in the drive ring and is inclined relative to the radial direction of the drive ring. The guide mechanism includes a slider, a pair of guide blocks, a guide groove, and a cam follower. The slider is fixed to the side of the force-transmitting plate facing the support ring and located between the pair of guide blocks. The cam follower is connected to the slider. The drive mechanism includes a drive cylinder, a drive gear, a rack, a mounting plate, and a fixing plate. The rack is fixed to the fixing plate. The fixed plate is fixed to the drive ring, the mounting plate is fixed to the support ring, and the drive cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate. The drive cylinder is connected to the drive gear and drives it to rotate forward or backward. The drive gear drives the rack to move, thereby driving the drive ring to rotate forward or backward. In turn, the cam follower drives the slider to slide between a pair of guide blocks under the action of the guide groove, thereby causing each gripper to move closer or farther away from the central axis of the support ring. When each gripper moves closer, the clamping surface of each gripper holds the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. When each gripper moves farther away, the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank held by each gripper can be released.

[0007] Furthermore, the infrared heating device includes: a drive bracket with a first leg; an infrared heating component fixedly connected to the drive bracket; a first support plate with a first guide rail that slides with the first leg; a moving motor supported on the first support plate, the moving motor being drivenly connected to the drive bracket to drive the first leg to move along the first guide rail; a second support plate located below the first support plate with a second guide rail, the second guide rail being perpendicular to the first guide rail, a second leg that slides with the second guide rail on the side of the first support plate facing the second support plate, and driving components that drive the second leg to move in opposite directions along the second guide rail on both sides of the second support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the cutting device includes: a reciprocating support, including a first guide foot and a support plate; a cutting assembly supported on the support plate, the cutting assembly including a cutting holder, a cutting motor, and a cutting blade, the cutting motor driving the cutting blade located in the cutting holder to rotate; a support plate, provided with a first guide rail that slides with the first guide foot; a displacement motor supported on the support plate, the displacement motor being driven and connected to the reciprocating support to drive the first guide foot to move along the first guide rail; a power advance motor supported on the support plate, the power advance motor being driven and connected to the cutting holder, the cutting holder being provided with a second guide foot, the support plate being provided with a second guide rail, the power advance motor driving the second guide foot to move the cutting blade along the second guide rail, the cutting blade being used to cut the weld seam on the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank rotated by the two clamping devices under the drive of the power advance motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the cutting device also includes a pair of guide mechanisms located opposite each other on both sides of the cutter holder. The guide mechanism includes a support plate and a floating guide wheel. The floating guide wheel is rotatably connected to the support plate. The floating guide wheel rotates before the cutter to abut against the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank and determines the cutting amount of the cutter on the kerf. The cutter holder includes a dust collection hood, and the cutting device also includes a vacuum cleaner. The cutter is located in the dust collection hood, and the vacuum cleaner is connected to the dust collection hood and is used to adsorb and collect the debris generated by the cutter during the cutting operation.

The second pressing motor drives the second pressing frame to move along the second frame guide rails, so that the second pressing cylinder can press the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank against the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank.

[0012] Furthermore, the welding and cutting equipment for the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank also includes a shifting motor. The first clamping and rotating device is movably supported on a pair of first guide rails. The drive shaft of the shifting motor is driven and connected to the first clamping and rotating device. The infrared heating device and the cutting device are located on one side of the machine base. The drive shaft of the shifting motor drives the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank held by the first clamping and rotating device to move to the heating position corresponding to the infrared heating device. The infrared heating component moves between the first clamping and rotating device and the second clamping and rotating device. The infrared heating component heats the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank and the second clamping and rotating device, which are respectively rotated by the first clamping and rotating device. The opposing end faces of the hydrogen tank liner are heated. After the heating is completed, the first clamping and rotating device stops rotating. The first pressing cylinder of the first pressure frame and the second pressing cylinder of the second pressure frame press against the first and second hydrogen tank liners, which are clamped radially, and squeeze and weld them together to form the hydrogen tank liner. The hydrogen tank liner is made of plastic. After the welding is completed, the shifting motor drives the first clamping and rotating device to move the hydrogen tank liner to the cutting position corresponding to the cutting device.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element limited by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element. Unless otherwise specified, embodiments of the present invention and the various features thereof can be combined with each other, all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] refer to Figure 1As an objective of this utility model, a welding and cutting device 100 for hydrogen storage tank liners is provided, comprising a first clamping device 10 and a second clamping device 10 facing each other, an infrared heating device 20, a first pressing device 40 and a second pressing device 50 facing each other, and a cutting device 30. The first clamping device 10 and the second clamping device 10 are respectively used to clamp the first hydrogen storage tank liner portion and the second hydrogen storage tank liner portion (not shown). The two hydrogen storage tank liners can be understood as one of the two parts of a complete hydrogen storage tank liner obtained by welding, and preferably half of a hydrogen storage tank liner portion. In addition, a complete hydrogen storage tank liner can also be obtained by welding three hydrogen storage tank liners. In this case, the two hydrogen storage tank liners are first welded into a longer hydrogen storage tank liner portion by the two clamping devices 10, and then the longer hydrogen storage tank liner portion is clamped by one clamping device 10 and welded to another hydrogen storage tank liner portion clamped by the other clamping device 10 to obtain a complete hydrogen storage tank liner, and so on. The infrared heating device 20 includes an infrared heating component 22, which moves in and out between the first clamping device 10 and the second clamping device 10. When the infrared heating component 22 moves between the first clamping device 10 and the second clamping device 10, it heats the respective end faces to be welded of the inner liner of the two hydrogen storage tanks. After the infrared heating component 22 moves out between the first clamping device 10 and the second clamping device 10, the first pressing device 40 and the second pressing device 50 press the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank and the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank respectively against each other to weld their end faces together, thereby obtaining a complete inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. The cutting device 30 is used to cut the weld seam on the outer periphery of the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. Therefore, the hydrogen storage tank liner welding and cutting equipment 100 provided by this utility model is equipped with both an infrared heating device 20 and a cutting device 30, so that welding and cutting operations can be completed within a very short distance, without the need to transfer two different workstations that are far apart to complete the operation separately. Therefore, it has the advantages of good processing quality and high processing efficiency for welding and cutting of hydrogen storage tank liners.

[0034] Please refer to the reference. Figures 2 to 4Specifically, both the first clamping device 10 and the second clamping device 10 include: a support frame 11, comprising a hollow support cylinder 111 and a support ring 112 protruding from the outer periphery of one end of the support cylinder 111, with the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank or the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank located at intervals within the support cylinder 111; a plurality of grippers 12, arranged circumferentially on the support ring 112 and movable radially along the support ring 112, each gripper 12 having a clamping surface 1211 facing the central axis of the support ring 112, and each gripper 12 having a conformal shape adapted to the inner liner of the first or second hydrogen storage tank; a drive ring 13 connected to the support ring 112; a drive mechanism 14 driving the drive ring 13 to rotate to drive each gripper 12 to move closer to or further away from the central axis of the support ring 112 radially; and a rotating ring 17 fixedly connected to the support cylinder 111. The rotating mechanism 18 drives the rotating ring 17 to rotate, thereby causing the inner liner of one of the hydrogen storage tanks held by the grippers 12 to rotate around the central axis of the support ring 112. A driven gear 171 is provided on the outer ring of the rotating ring 17. The rotating mechanism 18 includes a rotating motor 181 and a driving gear 182. The driving gear 182 meshes with the driven gear 171. The rotating motor 181 drives the driving gear 182 to rotate, thereby causing the support ring 112 to rotate, and thus the multiple grippers 12 rotate synchronously with the support ring 112. The infrared heating assembly 22 has two heating surfaces. When the two heating welding end surfaces are heated, the grippers 12 of each clamping device 10 move closer, so that the clamping surface 1211 of each gripper 12 forms a clamping surface for attaching and clamping the circumferential outer surface of the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank or the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank. The rotating motor 181 drives the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank to rotate, and the infrared heating assembly 22 moves between the two clamping devices 10 under the drive of the moving motor 24 and heats the two heating welding end surfaces at the same time. After the two heating welding end surfaces have been heated, the infrared heating assembly 22 moves out between the two clamping devices 10 under the drive of the moving motor 24, the rotating motor 181 stops working, and the two heating welding end surfaces are pressed together to obtain the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. Therefore, the two clamping devices can adaptably clamp the cylindrical surfaces of the hydrogen storage tank inner liner with different outer diameters by means of multiple jaws 12 that can move closer or further away from the central axis of the support ring 112. Moreover, the clamping surfaces 1211 of each jaw 12 can form an annular clamping surface to clamp multiple parts of the circumferential outer surface of the hydrogen storage tank inner liner, thereby ensuring high stability of workpiece clamping. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 18 drives the rotating ring 17 to rotate, thereby driving each jaw 12 connected to the support cylinder 111 to rotate synchronously, thus ensuring that the hydrogen storage tank inner liner is stably clamped and rotated, so that the hydrogen storage tank inner liner can be heated evenly, ensuring high welding quality.

[0035] Please refer to the reference. Figures 2 to 4 Specifically, the clamping and turning device 10 also includes a guide mechanism 15, the same number as the grippers 12. Each gripper 12 includes a snap-fit ​​plate 121 and a force transmission plate 122. The snap-fit ​​plate 121 has a snap-fit ​​surface 1211. A pair of guide blocks 152 are fixed at intervals on the side of the support ring 112 facing away from the drive ring 13. A slider 151 is fixed on the side of the force transmission plate 122 facing the support ring 112 and located between the pair of guide blocks 152. A cam follower 154 is connected to the slider 151. A guide groove 153 is located in the drive ring 13 and is inclined relative to the radial direction of the drive ring 13. The guide mechanism 15 includes a slider 151, a pair of guide blocks 152, a guide groove 153, and a cam follower 154. The drive mechanism 14 includes a drive cylinder 141, a drive gear 142, a rack 143, a mounting plate 144, and a fixing plate 145. 143 is fixed to the fixing plate 145, the fixing plate 145 is fixed to the drive ring 13, the mounting plate 144 is fixed to the support ring 112, the drive cylinder 141 is mounted on the mounting plate 144, the drive cylinder 141 is connected to the drive gear 142 and drives it to rotate forward or backward, the drive gear 142 drives the rack 143 to move, thereby driving the drive ring 13 to rotate forward or backward, and then the cam follower 154 drives the slider 151 to slide between a pair of guide blocks 152 under the action of the guide groove 153, thereby correspondingly causing each gripper 12 to move closer or farther away from the central axis of the support ring 112. When each gripper 12 completes to move closer, the clamping surface 1211 of each gripper 12 clamps the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. When each gripper 12 completes to move farther away, the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank clamped by each gripper 12 can be released. Therefore, for each pawl 12, the cam follower 154 can convert the circumferential force from the rotation of the drive ring 13 into a radial force on the guide block 152, thus achieving a stable radial displacement of the pawl 12 relative to the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. Furthermore, since the cam follower 154 can efficiently convert the circumferential force from the drive ring 13 into a radial force on the guide block 152, the radial movement of the pawl 12 is smoother and more precise.

[0036] Please refer to the reference. Figure 4 Preferably, the support ring 112 has a pair of communicating stepped grooves 1121 facing the slider 151. The guide block 152 protrudes above the stepped grooves 1121, thus forming a sliding groove 1122 between the guide block 152 and the stepped grooves 1121. The slider 151 includes a pair of protrusions 1511 opposite each other in the radial direction of the support ring 112, and the protrusions 1511 slide in contact with the sliding groove 1122. Since the cam follower 154 can efficiently convert the circumferential force from the drive ring 13 into a radial force on the guide block 152, and by utilizing the sliding contact between the protrusions 1511 and the sliding groove 1122 of the slider 151, the displacement of the slider 151 is more stable and precise, thereby making the radial movement of the chuck 12 more stable and precise.

[0037] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 Preferably, the force transmission plate 122 is further provided with a reinforcing part 123, which protrudes from both sides of the force transmission plate 122. In this way, the reinforcing part 123 can not only enhance the clamping strength of the clamping surface 1211 of the claw 12, but also improve the reliability of transmitting the force received by the force transmission plate 122 from the cam follower 154.

[0038] Please refer to the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Preferably, the number of grippers 12 is set to 2N, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 4. In this utility model, N is set to 4, that is, the number of grippers 12 is 8. By setting the number of grippers 12 to an even number of more than 8, the workpiece can obtain multiple uniform clamping forces in the circumferential direction, while avoiding damage caused by excessive clamping force on the workpiece due to insufficient clamping surfaces 1211. A guide mechanism 16 is provided between each of the N guide groove groups formed by two adjacent and non-repeating guide grooves 153 on the drive ring 13. The guide groove groups and the guide mechanisms 16 located therebetween are evenly arranged around the drive ring 13. The guide mechanism 16 includes a guide groove 161, a guide post 162, and a limiting disk 163. The guide groove 161 is located in the drive ring 13 and extends in the radial direction of the drive ring 13. The guide post 162 is inserted into the guide groove 161 and its two ends are connected to the support ring 112 and the limiting disk 163, respectively. The limiting disk 163 slides against the drive disk. Because multiple guide mechanisms 16 are provided, the rotation of the drive ring 13 relative to the support ring 112 is both smooth and does not deflect, ensuring that each gripper 12 reliably receives the force applied by the cam follower 154 acting on it when the drive ring 13 rotates.

[0039] Please refer to the reference. Figure 5Specifically, the infrared heating device 20 includes: a drive bracket 21 with a first support leg 211; an infrared heating assembly 22 fixedly connected to the drive bracket 21; a first support plate 23 with a first guide rail 231 that slides along the first support leg 211; and a moving motor 24 supported on the first support plate 23, which is driven by the drive bracket 21 to move the first support leg 211 along the first guide rail 231. Therefore, the infrared heating device 20 can use the moving motor 24 to drive the heating assembly to move to the heating position promptly and accurately, and to move it away from the heating position promptly after heating is completed, thus providing excellent heating effect and high reliability for the inner tanks of the two hydrogen storage tanks. The infrared heating device 20 also includes a second support plate 28 located below the first support plate 23. The second support plate 28 has a second guide rail 281 perpendicular to the first guide rail 231. The side of the first support plate 23 facing the second support plate 28 has a second support leg (not shown) that slides with the second guide rail 281. On both sides of the second support plate 28 are drive components 29 that drive the second support leg to move in opposite directions along the second guide rail 281. Because the position of the infrared heating component 22 along the second guide rail 281 can also be adjusted, the infrared heating component 22 can be more flexibly and precisely moved to the heating position.

[0040] Please refer to the reference. Figure 5 Preferably, the driving assembly 29 includes a crank handle 291 and a rocker arm 292 rotatably connected.

[0045] Please refer to the reference. Figure 6 and Figure 7Specifically, the cutting device 30 includes: a reciprocating support 31, including a first guide foot 311 and a support plate 312; a cutting blade assembly 32, supported on the support plate 312, the cutting blade assembly 32 including a cutting blade holder 321, a cutting blade motor 324, and a cutting blade 325, the cutting blade motor 324 driving the cutting blade 325 located in the cutting blade holder 321 to rotate; a support plate 33, provided with a first guide rail 331 that slides with the first guide foot 311; and a displacement motor 34, supported on the support plate 33, the displacement motor 34 being drivenly connected to the reciprocating support 31 to drive the first guide foot 311 to move along the first guide rail 331.

The cutter holder 321 has a second guide foot 317, and the support plate 312 has a second guide rail 316. The power feed motor 35 drives the second guide foot 317 to move the cutter 325 along the second guide rail 316. Driven by the power feed motor 35, the cutter 325 is used to cut the weld seam on the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank, which is rotated by the two clamping devices 10. Because the cutting device 30 can use a displacement motor 34 to drive the reciprocating support 31 to precisely move to the desired cutting position, and is particularly suitable for accurately ensuring the cutting thickness of the cutter 325 on the weld seam, it has the advantages of high accuracy and high quality in weld seam cutting.

[0046] Please refer to the reference. Figure 7 Preferably, the cutting device 30 further includes a pair of guide mechanisms 36 located opposite each other on both sides of the cutter holder 321.

The floating guide wheel 362 rotates and contacts the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank before the cutter 325, thus determining the cutting amount of the cutter. Because the floating guide wheel 362 rotates and contacts the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank before the cutter 325, it prevents the cutter 325 from being accidentally struck by the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank, and allows the cutter 325 to float along the outer contour of the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank during the cutting process, ensuring uniform cutting and consistent cutting amount. The cutter holder 321 includes a dust collection hood 323, and the cutting device 30 also includes a vacuum cleaner. The cutter 325 is located in the dust collection hood 323. The vacuum cleaner is connected to the dust collection hood 323 and is used to collect and absorb debris generated by the cutter 325 during cutting. Because the dust collection hood 323 can collect debris in a timely manner, it prevents scattered debris from polluting the environment.

[0047] Please refer to the reference. Figure 7 Preferably, a horizontal brush group 37 and a vertical brush group 38 are provided on the outer wall of the dust collection hood 323. The horizontal brush and the vertical brush abut against the adjacent parts of the part to be cut in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.

[0048] Please refer to the reference. Figure 7 Preferably, the horizontal brush group 37 extends at an angle relative to the horizontal plane, and the vertical brush group 38 extends in the vertical direction.

The positioning plate 315 is provided with a second guide rail 316, and the side of the support plate 312 facing the positioning plate 315 is provided with a second guide foot 317. By adjusting the sliding position of the second guide foot 317 on the second guide rail 316, the floating guide wheel 362 rotates and abuts against the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank before the cutter 325, so that the floating guide wheel 362 can be adjusted to roll more accurately against the corresponding desired part of the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank.

The first pressing device 40 includes a first pressing motor 41, a pair of parallel first guide rails 42 and a first pressing frame 43. The first guide rails 42 are mounted on the base frame 61, and the first pressing frame 43 is mounted on the base frame 61 and has a first pressing cylinder 44 installed on it. The first pressing cylinder 44 has a hollow structure. The drive shaft of the first pressing motor 41 drives the first pressing frame 43 to move along the first guide rails 42, so that the first pressing cylinder 44 can press the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank and squeeze it towards the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank. In this way, the first pressing cylinder 44, driven by the first pressing motor 41, applies force in a timely and accurate manner to press the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank against the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank, so that the heated end faces of the two inner liners to be welded are squeezed and welded together.

The second pressing cylinder 54 has a hollow structure. The second pressing motor 51 drives the second pressing frame 53 to move along the second guide rails 52, so that the second pressing cylinder 54 can press the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank against the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank. It should be noted that after the extrusion welding is completed, the first pressing cylinder 44 and the second pressing cylinder 54 return to their initial positions respectively. The welded complete inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank can be further moved to the cutting position by the first clamping and rotating device 10 to receive the cutting of the weld by the cutting device 30. In this way, the second pressing cylinder 54, driven by the second pressing motor 51, applies force in a timely and accurate manner to press the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank against the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank. Thus, the second pressing cylinder 54 and the first pressing cylinder 44 simultaneously and respectively press and weld the inner liners of the two hydrogen storage tanks together, which not only improves the pressing efficiency but also provides a good pressing effect.

The first clamping and rotating device 10 is movably supported on a pair of first guide rails 42. The drive shaft of the shifting motor 70 is driven and connected to the first clamping and rotating device 10. The infrared heating device 20 and the cutting device 30 are arranged on one side of the machine base frame 61. The drive shaft of the shifting motor 70 drives the first hydrogen storage tank inner liner held by the first clamping and rotating device 10 to move to the heating position corresponding to the infrared heating device 20. The infrared heating component 22 moves between the first clamping and rotating device 10 and the second clamping and rotating device 10. The infrared heating component 22 controls the first hydrogen storage tank inner liner that is rotated by the first clamping and rotating device 10 and the second clamping and rotating device 10 respectively. The opposing weldable end faces of the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank and the inner liner of the second hydrogen storage tank are heated. After the heating operation is completed, the first clamping and rotating device 10 and the second clamping and rotating device 10 stop rotating. The first pressing cylinder 44 of the first pressing frame 43 and the second pressing cylinder 54 of the second pressing frame 53 press against the first and second hydrogen storage tank inner liners, which are clamped radially, and squeeze and weld them together to form the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. The inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank is made of plastic. After the welding operation is completed, the shifting motor 70 drives the first clamping and rotating device 10 to move the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank to the cutting position corresponding to the cutting device 30. The cutting device 30 cuts the weld seam on the outer circumference of the inner liner of the hydrogen storage tank. In this way, the heating and welding of the inner liner of the first hydrogen storage tank, the cutting of the welded inner liner, and the subsequent handling of the cut inner liner can all be achieved by the accurate drive and shifting of the shifting motor 70, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of high processing efficiency and good processing quality.

[0054] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 Specifically, the hydrogen storage tank liner welding and cutting equipment 100 also includes a pair of opposing shift cylinders 80 and a pair of opposing shift plates 90. The shift cylinders 80 are supported by the machine side frame 62. The two ends of each shift plate 90 are respectively connected to the second clamping device 10 and a shift cylinder 80. The shift plate 90 is slidably engaged with the second guide rail 52. The piston rod of the shift cylinder 80 drives the second hydrogen storage tank liner held by the second clamping device 10 to move to the heating position. In this way, the heating and welding of the second hydrogen storage tank liner can be achieved by the accurate drive of the second shift motor 70. Thus, the second hydrogen storage tank liner and the first hydrogen storage tank liner can be moved towards each other simultaneously to be spaced apart and opposite each other for heating, and their welding end faces can be pressed together for welding. The two hydrogen storage tank liners can be accurately aligned and welded together, improving processing efficiency.
