Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and the like, in particular to a butt joint positioner for a large pipe body.
Background
In the petrochemical industry, a large amount of pipeline processes are needed to convey raw materials or control chemical reactions, for example, a large amount of pipelines and pipe welding operations exist in production lines in a chemical plant, and ultra-long-distance large-diameter pipeline conveying is also needed in petroleum transportation and natural gas remote conveying. During the welding and installation process of the large-diameter pipeline, the problem to be solved is the butt joint positioning problem.
The existing large-diameter pipeline butt-joint device is large in size, poor in flexibility, large in dismounting workload and insufficient in adaptability to pipeline butt-joint operation, and is inconvenient to transport and use particularly when a pipeline is laid in the field. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel butt joint positioning device which can adapt to the welding and installation operation of large pipelines or tanks, so as to solve the problem of inconvenient use and transportation.

magnet module links together through universal connector with central skeleton, and is concrete, universal connector's connecting plate is connected with the magnet module, and universal connector's connector afterbody inserts the connector mounting hole formation hinged joint on the central skeleton, makes the connector can rotate central skeleton relatively, and the rear end of connector mounting hole is equipped with the space that holds set nut, set nut prevents that the connector from droing with connector location installation in the connector mounting hole. The magnet module realizes the rotation of the magnet module relative to three degrees of freedom of the central framework through the rotation of the steering sleeve, the hinging of the steering sleeve and the connector and the hinging of the connector and the central framework, so that the magnetic claw can flexibly adapt to the geometric surface of the pipe wall to form adaptive adjustment and is in fixed contact with the pipe wall more closely.
The locking rod and the driving rod are respectively composed of a screw rod, a sleeve rod and a tail rod, external threads are arranged outside the screw rod, the sleeve rod is hollow and is provided with internal threads, the screw rod can be screwed and extended or shortened in the sleeve rod, the tail rod is arranged at one end of the sleeve rod, which is far away from the screw rod, and the tail rod is hinged with the sleeve rod to enable the sleeve rod to freely rotate relative to the tail rod; the screw rod of check lock pole and the tip of tail-bar set up the round pin, through selling articulated together with central skeleton, the screw rod of actuating lever and the tip fixed connection nut of tail-bar are in the same place through the threaded rod fixed connection of nut and universal connector's connector.
When the mouth aligning operation is carried out:
firstly, the strong magnetic force of the magnet module is turned off through the switch, and the sleeve rod of the locking rod is screwed to increase the length of the locking rod so as to drive the inner diameter of an annular structure formed by a plurality of magnetic claw assemblies to be larger than the outer diameter of a pipeline to be butted.
Then, two sections of pipelines to be welded respectively extend into two polygonal locking rings of the butt joint positioner (a plurality of magnetic claw assemblies are distributed on two planes perpendicular to the annular central axis, the magnetic claw assemblies in each plane are connected into a polygon through a locking rod), the length of the driving rod is adaptively adjusted to adjust the fixed position of the magnetic claw assemblies on the wall surface of the pipeline, then sleeve rods of the locking rods in the polygonal locking ring structures are screwed to reduce the length of the sleeve rods, so that the inner diameter of each polygonal structure is reduced until the magnet modules are pressed on the outer wall of the pipeline, and the strong magnet magnetic force of the magnet modules is started through a switch, so that the magnet modules are adsorbed on the outer wall of the pipeline and are fixedly connected with the pipeline. Finally, the relative position of the front and the rear polygonal locking ring structures can be controlled by screwing the sleeve rod of the driving rod to adjust the length of the driving rod. The butt joint positioning is realized by continuously adjusting the relative positions of the end parts of the two pipelines in a parallel driving mode.

(2) the magnetic claw assembly is firstly installed, the driving rod and the locking rod are installed after the magnetic claw assembly is adsorbed on the pipe wall, the installation can be realized in a working environment with a narrow space, and the use is convenient;
(3) because the shape of the polygonal locking ring is adjustable, the pipe with any cross section shape can be butted from the inside or the outside theoretically, and the application range is wide;
(4) the magnet module has three degrees of freedom rotation relative to the central framework of the magnetic claw assembly, so that the magnetic claw assembly can flexibly adapt to the geometric shape of the pipe wall to form adaptation adjustment, and is in closer fixed contact with the pipe wall. Under the condition of larger load, the magnet module has a tendency of overturning relative to the pipe wall, the radius of the polygonal locking ring is increased when the magnet module overturns, and the radius of the polygonal locking ring is restrained by the locking rod, so that larger positive pressure is generated between the overturning magnetic claw assembly and the pipe wall under the tendency, so that the static friction force is increased, a self-locking effect is formed, and the magnetic claw assembly is prevented from slipping;
(5) the structure of the invention can be properly adjusted according to the size of the load, and the invention can flexibly adapt to various working conditions, such as only magnetic positioning and no adoption of the clasping mode of the polygonal locking ring.
