Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat exchanger manufacturing technology, specifically to a welding fixture structure for a heat exchanger shell. Background Technology
[0002] A heat exchanger is an energy-saving device that enables heat transfer between two or more fluids at different temperatures. It transfers heat from a higher-temperature fluid to a lower-temperature fluid, bringing the fluid temperature to the specified parameters to meet process requirements. It is also one of the main devices for improving energy efficiency. As an important component of the heat exchanger, the welding quality of the heat exchanger shell directly affects the overall performance and service life of the heat exchanger. Typically, the heat exchanger shell has a cylindrical structure. To ensure the welding effect of such heat exchanger shells, it is particularly important to develop a welding fixture structure for the heat exchanger shell.
[0003] A welding fixture structure for a heat exchanger shell, as described in reference announcement number CN218695474U, includes a base, a reference fixing seat, a movable positioning seat, an adjusting assembly, a clamping assembly, and a welding positioning template. The reference fixing seat is located at one end of the base, and the movable positioning seat is located at the other end. The clamping assembly is mounted on the movable positioning seat, which has a positioning boss. The welding positioning template is positioned above the reference fixing seat and has multiple positioning holes. The clamping assembly drives the positioning boss to move axially closer to or further away from the reference fixing seat. The device clamps both ends of the shell; by setting an adjustment component, it can adapt to clamping shells of different lengths; and a welding positioning template is set above the reference fixing seat to achieve the positioning of the medium inlet pipe and medium outlet pipe for welding. This can ensure the accuracy of the welding position, improve production efficiency and welding quality. As can be seen from the above, although this welding fixture structure can be well applied, it is usually not convenient to horizontally adjust the position of the heat exchanger shell workpiece. The welding equipment needs to be moved before welding operations can be carried out on the designated area of the heat exchanger shell workpiece. There are still some inconveniences in use, and further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a welding fixture structure for a heat exchanger shell, so as to solve the problem that although the welding fixture structure proposed in the background art can be well applied, it is usually not convenient to adjust the position of the heat exchanger shell workpiece horizontally. The welding equipment needs to be moved before the welding operation can be carried out on the designated area of the heat exchanger shell workpiece, and there are still some inconveniences in the use process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding fixture structure for a heat exchanger shell, comprising a base, a positioning seat fixed on one side of the top of the base, two limiting rails on the top of the base on one side of the positioning seat, each limiting rail being slidably connected to a rail seat, a bearing platform mounted on the top of the two rail seats, an electric push rod mounted on the inner wall of one side of the positioning seat, the end of the electric push rod away from the positioning seat being connected to the outer wall of one side of the bearing platform, a strip seat at the center of the top of the bearing platform, a strip plate fixedly mounted on the top of the strip seat, a second electrical control box mounted on the top of the bearing platform in front of the strip seat, the output end of the microcontroller inside the second electrical control box being electrically connected to the input end of the electric push rod, a base frame mounted on the top of the strip plate, and a first electrical control box mounted on one side of the top of the base frame.

[0007] Preferably, a component holder is installed on the outer wall of one side of the support frame, and a lifting cylinder is installed on the outer wall of the component holder away from the lower clamping plate. The input end of the lifting cylinder is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller inside the first electrical control box. The lifting cylinder is configured to drive the upper clamping plate to perform lifting and lowering operations.
[0008] Preferably, a linkage seat is installed at the top of the lifting cylinder, and an upper clamping plate is installed at the end of the linkage seat away from the lifting cylinder.

[0013] (2) By placing both ends of the heat exchanger shell workpiece on the top of the lower clamping plate, and then starting the lifting cylinder, the upper clamping plate is driven to move downward through the linkage seat so that the upper clamping plate moves down to fit against the upper outer wall of the heat exchanger shell workpiece. This allows the upper clamping plate to cooperate with the lower clamping plate to clamp and fix the heat exchanger shell workpiece from both ends, thereby ensuring the stability of the heat exchanger shell workpiece during welding.
[0014] (3) By fixing side connecting plates on the outer walls on both sides of the strip seat, and by using several reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural strength between the side connecting plates and the strip seat, and by installing two lifting rings on the top of each of the two side connecting plates, the welding fixture structure can be lifted and moved as a whole by using four lifting rings, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the lifting and transportation of the welding fixture structure.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a welding fixture structure for a heat exchanger shell, comprising a base 1, a positioning seat 5 fixed on one side of the top of the base 1, two limiting rails 2 on the top of the base 1 on one side of the positioning seat 5, rail seats 3 slidably connected to the top of each limiting rail 2, a bearing platform 4 installed on the top of the two rail seats 3, an electric push rod 6 installed on the inner wall of one side of the positioning seat 5, the end of the electric push rod 6 away from the positioning seat 5 connected to the outer wall of one side of the bearing platform 4, a strip seat 7 at the center of the top of the bearing platform 4, side connecting plates 13 fixedly installed on the outer walls on both sides of the strip seat 7, the bottom end of the side connecting plate 13 connected to the top of the bearing platform 4;
[0022] In use, the side connecting plate 13 is provided to facilitate the placement of the lifting ring 14;
[0023] Both sides of the top of the side connecting plate 13 are equipped with lifting rings 14, and two reinforcing ribs 15 are provided on the inner wall of the side connecting plate 13. The bottom end of the reinforcing rib 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the strip seat 7.
[0024] In use, the welding fixture structure is hoisted and transported as a whole by setting up several lifting rings 14;
[0025] A strip plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the strip base 7. A second electrical control box 12 is installed on the top of the support platform 4 in front of the strip base 7. The output terminal of the microcontroller inside the second electrical control box 12 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the electric push rod 6. A base frame 9 is installed on the top of the strip plate 8. A first electrical control box 11 is installed on one side of the top of the base frame 9. Support frames 16 are provided on the top of the base frames 9 on both sides of the first electrical control box 11. A lower clamping plate 17 is installed on the top of the support frame 16.
[0026] In use, the lower clamping plate 17 is used to support and position the heat exchanger shell workpiece 10.
[0027] A component rack 18 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the support frame 16. A lifting cylinder 19 is installed on the outer wall of the component rack 18 away from the lower clamping plate 17. The input end of the lifting cylinder 19 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller inside the first electrical control box 11.
[0028] In use, the lifting cylinder 19 is used to drive the upper clamping plate 21 to perform lifting and lowering operations.
[0029] A linkage seat 20 is installed at the top of the lifting cylinder 19. An upper clamping plate 21 is installed at the end of the linkage seat 20 away from the lifting cylinder 19.
