Description

本発明はフランジとパイプとの溶接作業時にパイプに対するフランジとの溶接位置を決めて溶接作業を行いやすいようにさせるフランジの溶接位置決め装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a welding positioning apparatus for a flange that determines the welding position of a flange with respect to a pipe at the time of welding work between the flange and a pipe so as to facilitate the welding work.

流体配管パイプや弁などを接続する接続部品として、パイプの外周から鍔状に突出するフランジを一体に取り付けてフランジ継手を形成し、フランジ同士をボルト・ナット等の締結部材で締結させてパイプを接続する管継手が知られている。フランジ継手を製作する際には、円筒パイプの端縁外周部分にドーナツ円盤形のフランジを溶接により接続固定する。フランジ付のパイプ同士の連結、あるいはフランジ付のパイプと流体処理装置等との接続時には、フランジ面を利用して連結されるから、フランジとパイプとの直角度が精度良く保持されている必要がある。例えばフランジ付のパイプ同士の連結に際しては、フランジとパイプとの直角度が保持されていないと複数のフランジパイプを接続した長い配管流路を形成したり、あるいは曲がり管を介して曲がり流路を形成する場合に、フランジ同士の接続位置がしだいにずれて最終的に締結部材による締結が困難となる場合を生じる。一方、フランジとパイプとの溶接は、フランジの孔にパイプを挿入しパイプの先端がフランジの板面と面一ではなく板面からやや後退した位置で溶接する必要がある。パイプの先端とフランジの板面とを面一に合わせた状態で溶接すると溶接ビードが盛り上がり、フランジ面同士を付き合わせた場合に密着性が得られず、シール性が損なわれる。
従来、フランジとパイプとの溶接作業においては、図19、図20に示すように、パイプ150を適宜の支持部材により水平状に支持し、パイプの端部152の外周にフランジ153のフランジ孔154をあてがって挿入させ、水平部156と直角部158を一体連結した変形ゲージ160の水平部156をパイプの外周頂部に設置しフランジの突設部分を乗り越えて延設した直角部158をフランジの縦、横等複数の直径位置にあてがった状態でそれぞれ仮溶接し、位置が決まったところで本溶接を行うものであった。この際、図19に示すように、パイプ先端をフランジの板面から後退した位置で位置決めるためにゲージと交差する上側のパイプ−フランジ当接部の近傍位置w1(図20参照)を溶接仮付けし、次にゲージと交差する下側のパイプ−フランジ当接部の近傍位置w2を溶接仮付けする手順で行い、それを鎖線示のように90度回転位置、あるいは他の回転位置で何回か行って、それらの仮付け溶接後に本溶接を行うものであり、1個のフランジが例えば10kg(キログラム)あるいはそれ以上の重量の場合、フランジ孔へのパイプ先端部の挿通作業あるいは仮付けのための細かな位置ずらし作業を伴って、容易ではなく、作業時間もかかりフランジ継手製作の作業効率を低下させるものであった。一方、特許文献1において、溶接フランジ取付工具についての提案がなされている。
As connecting parts to connect fluid piping pipes, valves, etc., flanges protruding from the outer periphery of the pipe are integrally attached to form flange joints, and the flanges are fastened with fastening members such as bolts and nuts to connect the pipes. Connecting pipe joints are known. When manufacturing the flange joint, a donut disk-shaped flange is connected and fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the end of the cylindrical pipe by welding. When connecting flanged pipes, or connecting flanged pipes and fluid processing equipment, etc., the flange surface is used for connection, so the perpendicularity between the flange and pipe must be maintained with high accuracy. is there. For example, when connecting flanged pipes, if the perpendicularity between the flange and the pipe is not maintained, a long pipe flow path connecting a plurality of flange pipes is formed, or a bent flow path is formed via a bent pipe. When forming, the connection position of flanges will shift | deviate gradually and the case where fastening by a fastening member becomes difficult finally arises. On the other hand, for welding the flange and the pipe, it is necessary to insert the pipe into the hole of the flange and weld the pipe at a position where the tip of the pipe is not flush with the plate surface of the flange but slightly receded from the plate surface. If welding is performed with the pipe tip and the plate surface of the flange being flush with each other, the weld bead rises, and when the flange surfaces are brought together, adhesion cannot be obtained, and the sealing performance is impaired.
Conventionally, in a welding operation between a flange and a pipe, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the pipe 150 is horizontally supported by an appropriate support member, and the flange hole 154 of the flange 153 is formed on the outer periphery of the end portion 152 of the pipe. The horizontal portion 156 of the deformation gauge 160, in which the horizontal portion 156 and the right-angle portion 158 are integrally connected, is installed on the outer peripheral top portion of the pipe, and the right-angle portion 158 extending over the protruding portion of the flange is installed in the vertical direction of the flange. In this state, temporary welding was performed in a state of being applied to a plurality of diameter positions such as laterally, and main welding was performed when the positions were determined. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, in order to position the pipe tip at a position retracted from the plate surface of the flange, a position w1 (see FIG. 20) in the vicinity of the upper pipe-flange contact portion intersecting with the gauge is temporarily welded. Next, the position w2 near the lower pipe-flange contact portion that intersects the gauge is welded and temporarily attached, and this is performed at the 90 ° rotation position as shown by the chain line, or at other rotation positions. If the flange has a weight of, for example, 10 kg (kilogram) or more, the pipe tip is inserted into the flange hole or temporarily attached. For this reason, it is not easy and requires a long time to move the position of the flange joint. On the other hand, in patent document 1, the proposal about the welding flange attachment tool is made | formed.

また、拡大縮小装置は、3個の位置決め部材を支持しつつ相互に連係して円筒管の管孔に挿入しやすいように可変保形させる複数のリンク部材と付勢部材とを有する構成とすることにより、位置決め部材の円筒管端縁への装着時にリンク部材同士のリンク角がランダムな折角を形成することなく、付勢部材の付勢力とリンク機構によりある程度の保形と、その変形容易性により装着をしやすくし、かつ、内壁当接部の正しい当接状態を得る作業を簡単、迅速に行うことが可能である。   Further, the enlargement / reduction device includes a plurality of link members and biasing members that support the three positioning members and are variably held so as to be easily inserted into the tube hole of the cylindrical tube while being linked to each other. Therefore, when the positioning member is attached to the end of the cylindrical tube, the link angle between the link members does not form a random folding angle, and the shape is maintained to some extent by the biasing force of the biasing member and the link mechanism, and its deformability Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly perform the operation of making the mounting easy and obtaining the correct contact state of the inner wall contact portion.

The flange 4 is correctly welded and fixed to the end of the cylindrical tube so that the flange surface 4a is perpendicular or orthogonal to the cylindrical axis CL of the cylindrical tube 2. In other words, the flange welding positioning device of the present invention is a device that determines the welding position of a donut-shaped flange that is welded and fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the end of the cylindrical tube. Here, the flange has a donut disk shape having a flange hole in the center, and the disk body has a plurality of fastener holes through which bolts are inserted and fixed at other intervals in the circumferential direction. Is provided.

図2ないし図4は本発明のフランジの溶接位置決め装置1の第1の実施形態を示しており、図において、フランジの溶接位置決め装置1は、複数の位置決め部材5と、装着機構6と、を含む。位置決め部材5は、円筒管2の端縁の外周複数位置にフランジ4のフランジ面4aに当たる当たり部7を形成させフランジ4の当たり位置で溶接するフランジの溶接位置決め手段であり、本実施形態において、フランジ4の位置決めは、予め円筒管にフランジ4の中央フランジ孔を貫通させ、その状態で位置決め部材5を円筒管の端面近傍に装着し、その後、フランジ4を円筒管端縁方向に移動させて円筒管2の外周複数位置に形成された当たり部7に当てたその当たり位置を溶接位置とするものである。   2 to 4 show a first embodiment of a flange welding positioning apparatus 1 according to the present invention. In the figure, the flange welding positioning apparatus 1 includes a plurality of positioning members 5 and a mounting mechanism 6. Including. The positioning member 5 is a flange positioning means for forming a contact portion 7 that contacts the flange surface 4a of the flange 4 at a plurality of positions on the outer periphery of the end of the cylindrical tube 2 and welding at the contact position of the flange 4, and in this embodiment, The positioning of the flange 4 is performed by passing the central flange hole of the flange 4 through the cylindrical tube in advance and mounting the positioning member 5 in the vicinity of the end surface of the cylindrical tube in that state, and then moving the flange 4 toward the end of the cylindrical tube. The contact positions applied to the contact portions 7 formed at a plurality of positions on the outer periphery of the cylindrical tube 2 are set as welding positions.

図2、3において、位置決め部材5は、円筒管2の直径位置に2個装着されている。実施形態において、位置決め部材5は、側面視L字状のL字体部材から成り、L字体の隅部が円筒管2の端縁の円筒管の孔と円筒管端面との角部に当接し、その状態でL字体の一方脚が円筒管2の内壁に沿って当接する直状部を有し、L字体の他方脚が円筒管の外周半径方向に円筒管から鍔状に拡大突設して形成されたL字杆部材から構成されている。内壁当接部10と外周突設部12とは直角に接続されている。すなわち、実施形態において、位置決め部材5は、円筒管2の軸線CL方向で円筒管2の内壁2aに沿って当接配置される内壁当接部10と内壁当接部10と直角状に接続してL字体を成す外周突設部12とを含む。そして、L字体の隅部が円筒管2の端縁に直角状に係合する。実施形態において、L字体は、角形あるいは丸形の棒材あるいはパイプをL字に一体形成して設けられているが、内壁当接部10及び外周突設部12を形成しておれば、その全体形状は任意に設定してよい。なお、内壁当接部10と外周突設部12は一体に形成しても、一体でなく別体部材を組み付けて形成することもできる。   2 and 3, two positioning members 5 are attached to the diameter position of the cylindrical tube 2. In the embodiment, the positioning member 5 is composed of an L-shaped member having an L-shape when viewed from the side, and a corner portion of the L-shaped body abuts on a corner portion between the hole of the cylindrical tube at the end of the cylindrical tube 2 and the end surface of the cylindrical tube, In this state, one leg of the L-shaped body has a straight portion that abuts along the inner wall of the cylindrical tube 2, and the other leg of the L-shaped body protrudes from the cylindrical tube in a bowl shape in the outer peripheral radial direction of the cylindrical tube. It is comprised from the formed L-shaped collar member. The inner wall contact portion 10 and the outer peripheral protruding portion 12 are connected at a right angle. That is, in the embodiment, the positioning member 5 is connected to the inner wall abutting portion 10 and the inner wall abutting portion 10 that are arranged in abutment along the inner wall 2 a of the cylindrical tube 2 in the direction of the axis CL of the cylindrical tube 2. And an outer peripheral projecting portion 12 forming an L shape. The corners of the L-shaped body engage with the end edges of the cylindrical tube 2 at right angles. In the embodiment, the L-shaped body is provided by integrally forming a square or round bar or pipe into the L-shape, but if the inner wall abutting portion 10 and the outer peripheral protruding portion 12 are formed, The overall shape may be set arbitrarily. In addition, even if the inner wall contact part 10 and the outer peripheral protrusion part 12 are formed integrally, they can be formed not by being integrated but by assembling separate members.

その際、円筒管2の内壁2aに沿って当接配置される内壁当接部10の内壁との当たり部分は軸方向にある程度の長さを有し、さらにその当たり部分の幅は狭いほうが好ましい。直径方向2点の当たり位置をできるだけ正確に設定する必要があるからである。また、位置決め部材の材質は、金属製が好ましいが、位置決め部材による位置決め後、該位置決め部材をフランジ管から離脱させた状態で溶接を行う場合には、合成樹脂で製造することもできる。   At that time, the contact portion with the inner wall of the inner wall abutting portion 10 disposed in contact with the inner wall 2a of the cylindrical tube 2 has a certain length in the axial direction, and the width of the contact portion is preferably narrower. . This is because it is necessary to set the contact positions of the two points in the diameter direction as accurately as possible. The material of the positioning member is preferably made of metal. However, after the positioning by the positioning member, when welding is performed in a state where the positioning member is detached from the flange tube, the positioning member can be made of synthetic resin.

外周突設部12は、当たり部7と段差部14と、を含む。外周突設部12は円筒管の内壁にその長手方向を円筒軸方向に沿うように当接させた内壁当接部10から直角方向に円筒管の外周半径方向に向けて突設した角形棒状部材で形成されており、これによってL字体の隅部を確実に円筒管の端縁に係合して円筒管から直角鍔状に外周突設部12が突出するようにL字体が装着配置される。外周突設部12の装着裏面側であるフランジ4との対向部分は長板面部が形成されており、この長板面部が当たり部7とされる。外周突設部12の装着裏面側の長板面部は、円筒管2の端面2fと平行な1つの面8に含まれる部分であり、実施形態では長板面部分がフランジ4のフランジ面4aと当接し円筒管に対するフランジの溶接位置を決める。なお、当たり部7は、実施形態のように長板面である必要はなく、任意の当たり面形状、線状あるいは点状の当たり部としてもよい。ここで、円筒管の端面は、円筒管の円筒軸線CLに直角な面上に形成される円筒管の端面である。   The outer peripheral protruding portion 12 includes a contact portion 7 and a step portion 14. The outer peripheral projecting portion 12 is a rectangular bar-shaped member projecting from the inner wall abutting portion 10 which is in contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical tube so that its longitudinal direction is along the cylindrical axis direction, in a direction perpendicular to the outer peripheral radial direction of the cylindrical tube. Thus, the L-shaped body is mounted and disposed such that the corner of the L-shaped body is securely engaged with the edge of the cylindrical tube, and the outer peripheral projecting portion 12 projects from the cylindrical tube in a right-angled manner. . A long plate surface portion is formed at a portion facing the flange 4 on the mounting back surface side of the outer peripheral protruding portion 12, and this long plate surface portion is a contact portion 7. The long plate surface portion on the mounting back surface side of the outer peripheral protruding portion 12 is a portion included in one surface 8 parallel to the end surface 2 f of the cylindrical tube 2. In the embodiment, the long plate surface portion is the flange surface 4 a of the flange 4. Abutting and determining the welding position of the flange to the cylindrical tube. In addition, the contact part 7 does not need to be a long plate surface like embodiment, and is good also as arbitrary contact surface shape, a linear form, or a point-like contact part. Here, the end surface of the cylindrical tube is an end surface of the cylindrical tube formed on a surface perpendicular to the cylindrical axis CL of the cylindrical tube.

段差部14は、フランジ4のフランジ面4aを当たり部7に当接させて円筒管2の先端をフランジ面からフランジの厚み内部側に後退させた位置に位置を決める手段であり、実施形態において、L字体の隅部において、外周突設部12の長板面部の下部から小さな段差を形成して内壁当接部10に接続する部分に設けられている。すなわち、実施形態において、段差部14は、円筒管2の端面2fと平行な面8に含まれる当たり部7から段差を形成し、円筒管2の軸線CLに沿って円筒管の端縁から離隔する方向x1に突設されて形成される。段差部14は、当たり部7の下部から水平方向に突出する段差面14aと段差面の先端から鉛直下方に垂下する差部14bとを含み、差部14bの下端からさらに水平方向に内壁当接部10が延設されて構成されている。   The step portion 14 is a means for determining the position at a position where the flange surface 4a of the flange 4 is brought into contact with the contact portion 7 and the tip of the cylindrical tube 2 is retracted from the flange surface to the inside of the thickness of the flange. At the corner of the L-shaped body, a small step is formed from the lower part of the long plate surface portion of the outer peripheral projecting portion 12 to be connected to the inner wall contact portion 10. That is, in the embodiment, the stepped portion 14 forms a step from the contact portion 7 included in the surface 8 parallel to the end surface 2 f of the cylindrical tube 2, and is separated from the edge of the cylindrical tube along the axis CL of the cylindrical tube 2. And projecting in the direction x1. The step portion 14 includes a step surface 14a that protrudes in the horizontal direction from the lower portion of the contact portion 7 and a difference portion 14b that hangs vertically downward from the tip of the step surface, and further contacts the inner wall in the horizontal direction from the lower end of the difference portion 14b. The part 10 is extended and configured.

これによって、2個の位置決め部材5が円筒管の直径端縁位置に配置されると、それぞれの外周突設部12の裏面側に円筒管の端面と平行な面8に含まれる当たり部7が形成され、これにフランジのフランジ面4aを当接するだけで、円筒管の端面からフランジの厚み内部側に後退させた位置であって、円筒管の軸線と直角度を正しく設定した管の外周位置にフランジを配置させて位置決めすることができ、この状態のまま、あるいは本位置決め装置1を円筒管から離脱させた状態で、仮付け溶接、さらにそれに続く本付け溶接を簡単かつ円滑に実行することができる。   Thus, when the two positioning members 5 are arranged at the diameter edge positions of the cylindrical tubes, the contact portions 7 included in the surfaces 8 parallel to the end surfaces of the cylindrical tubes are formed on the back surfaces of the respective outer peripheral protruding portions 12. The outer peripheral position of the pipe which is formed and is set to be retracted from the end face of the cylindrical pipe to the inner thickness side of the flange simply by contacting the flange face 4a of the flange, and the axis and perpendicularity of the cylindrical pipe are correctly set. In this state or with the positioning device 1 detached from the cylindrical tube, the tack welding and the subsequent main welding can be performed easily and smoothly. Can do.

装着機構6は、複数の位置決め部材5を円筒管2の等角度位置に押し付け離開自在に装着する円筒管への位置決め部材の装着手段であり、特に、円筒管の円周方向等角度位置に位置決め部材を押し付けて装着させる。本実施形態において、上述の通り、円筒管2の直径方向に2個、円筒管の円周の180度離隔位置において位置決め部材5が装着されている。本実施形態において、具体的には、装着機構6は、円筒管の直径方向に伸縮自在に係合し、任意の伸縮位置で固定する2個の支持桿16を含む伸縮固定装置18から構成されている。2個の支持桿16A,16Bはそれぞれ先端側にL字体からなる位置決め部材5を内壁当接部のL字体脚杆が円筒管の軸方向に沿うように配置され、さらに外周突設部のL字体脚杆が円筒管の端縁からL字直角方向に外方向に向けて延びる状態で固定させている。2個の支持桿16はそれぞれ断面の1辺大きさが異なる角パイプ材で構成されており、それぞれの基部の一方が他方の角パイプ部材に嵌挿されて伸縮自在に係合し、任意の係合位置でビス20により押し付け固定されるようになっている。支持桿16を縮長した状態で装置1を円筒管2に対して着脱操作し、円筒管2の端面近傍に装置1を配置させた状態で支持桿16を伸長させることにより位置決め部材5の内壁当接部10を円筒管の内壁に当接させて、円筒管円周の等角度位置を決めて固定させることで、位置決め部材5の直角部分の隅部を円筒管の端縁に正しく係合させた状態で仮固定させることができる。   The mounting mechanism 6 is a means for mounting a positioning member on the cylindrical tube that presses a plurality of positioning members 5 against the equiangular position of the cylindrical tube 2 so as to be releasably mounted. The member is pressed and attached. In the present embodiment, as described above, two positioning members 5 are mounted in the diameter direction of the cylindrical tube 2 at positions 180 degrees apart from the circumference of the cylindrical tube. In the present embodiment, specifically, the mounting mechanism 6 is configured by an expansion / contraction fixing device 18 including two support rods 16 that are elastically engaged in the diameter direction of the cylindrical tube and fixed at an arbitrary expansion / contraction position. ing. The two support rods 16A and 16B are each provided with an L-shaped positioning member 5 on the tip side so that the L-shaped leg rod of the inner wall abutting portion extends along the axial direction of the cylindrical tube, and further, the L of the outer peripheral projecting portion L The character leg is fixed in a state of extending outward from the edge of the cylindrical tube in a direction perpendicular to the L-shape. Each of the two support rods 16 is formed of a square pipe material having a cross-sectional one side size different from each other, and one of the respective base portions is inserted into the other square pipe member to be engaged with each other in an expandable manner. The screw 20 is pressed and fixed at the engagement position. The apparatus 1 is attached to and detached from the cylindrical tube 2 in a state where the support rod 16 is contracted, and the support rod 16 is extended in a state where the device 1 is disposed in the vicinity of the end surface of the cylindrical tube 2 to thereby increase the inner wall of the positioning member 5. By abutting the abutting portion 10 against the inner wall of the cylindrical tube and determining and fixing the equiangular position of the circumference of the cylindrical tube, the corner of the right angle portion of the positioning member 5 is correctly engaged with the edge of the cylindrical tube. It can be temporarily fixed in the state of being made to.

次に第1実施形態の作用について、説明すると、まず、フランジ溶接させるパイプ材としての円筒管を水平状に配置して架台に安定して載置させる。円筒管は、例えば4mm(ミリメートル)厚×22cm(センチメートル)直径×4m(メートル)長で、重量物でありV字状受台等による安定載置状態で静止する。この状態で、2cm厚×32cm外径直径程度のフランジ4の孔を円筒管の端部から貫通させて配置させる。この状態で、フランジの溶接位置決め装置1の装着機構6の支持桿16を縮長させて円筒管の端縁側から円筒管の中空内に挿入させある程度の挿入位置で支持桿16を伸長させる。直径方向両側の位置決め部材5の内壁当接部10が円筒管の内壁に正しく当たった状態でビス20を回動させて押し付け固定させる。ビス20の固定は、内壁当接部10の脚杆が円筒管の内壁の管軸方向に沿って当たり、さらに円筒管の端面がL字体の隅部に密着配置され円筒管の端縁から外周突設部12が管軸と直角方向に外周に突設した状態で正しく当たったと判断される。このとき、内壁当接部10の円筒管内壁への当接とともに、段差部14の差部14bの壁面に円筒管2の端面も当接させ、これを確認する(図4参照)。すると、段差部の段差面14aと円筒管の外周面が面一となり、この状態でフランジ4を円筒管2の先端方向x2に移動して位置決め部材5の当たり部7に当接させる。円筒管の直径位置の2つの位置決め部材5の当たり部7にフランジ4が同時に当接した状態で、円筒管の端面と平行で円筒管軸と直交する面(8)がフランジの衝合面となる円筒管との直角位置を設定し、この状態で、例えば円筒管の任意の直径方向の対向2点を含む複数点d1、d2・・・を仮付けし、必要に応じて装置1を例えば90度回転位置で当たり部7との当たりを確認して他の部分の仮付けを行い、続いて本付け溶接を行うものである。なお、フランジのフランジ面4aと円筒管の端面とが段差状にずれた状態で位置決めされ、この段差凹部の角の接合部分に向けて溶接を施すことにより例えばフランジ同士の突合せ時に両フランジ面の密着状態で接続し、良好な配管接続を行うことができる。   Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. First, a cylindrical tube as a pipe material to be flange-welded is horizontally arranged and stably placed on a gantry. The cylindrical tube is, for example, 4 mm (millimeters) thick × 22 cm (centimeters) diameter × 4 m (meters) long, is a heavy object, and is stationary in a stable placement state by a V-shaped cradle or the like. In this state, the hole of the flange 4 having a diameter of about 2 cm × 32 cm of the outer diameter is disposed through the end of the cylindrical tube. In this state, the support rod 16 of the mounting mechanism 6 of the flange welding positioning device 1 is lengthened and inserted into the hollow of the cylindrical tube from the end edge side of the cylindrical tube, and the support rod 16 is extended at a certain insertion position. The screw 20 is rotated and pressed and fixed in a state where the inner wall contact portions 10 of the positioning members 5 on both sides in the diameter direction are correctly in contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical tube. Fixing of the screw 20 is such that the leg of the inner wall abutting portion 10 hits along the tube axis direction of the inner wall of the cylindrical tube, and the end surface of the cylindrical tube is arranged in close contact with the corner of the L-shaped body. It is determined that the projecting portion 12 is correctly hit in a state of projecting from the outer periphery in a direction perpendicular to the tube axis. At this time, the end surface of the cylindrical tube 2 is also brought into contact with the wall surface of the difference portion 14b of the stepped portion 14 together with the contact of the inner wall contacting portion 10 with the inner wall of the cylindrical tube, and this is confirmed (see FIG. 4). Then, the stepped surface 14a of the stepped portion and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical tube are flush with each other, and in this state, the flange 4 is moved in the distal direction x2 of the cylindrical tube 2 and brought into contact with the contact portion 7 of the positioning member 5. In a state where the flange 4 is simultaneously in contact with the contact portions 7 of the two positioning members 5 at the diameter position of the cylindrical tube, a surface (8) parallel to the end surface of the cylindrical tube and perpendicular to the cylindrical tube axis is an abutting surface of the flange. In this state, for example, a plurality of points d1, d2,... Including two diametrically opposed points of the cylindrical tube are temporarily attached. The contact with the contact portion 7 is confirmed at a 90-degree rotation position, and other portions are temporarily attached, followed by permanent welding. In addition, the flange surface 4a of the flange and the end surface of the cylindrical tube are positioned in a state where they are shifted in a stepped manner, and welding is performed toward the joint portion at the corner of the stepped recess, for example, when the flange surfaces are brought together. It can be connected in close contact, and good pipe connection can be made.

次に、本発明の第4実施形態について、図8〜図16を参照して説明するが、第1実施形態と同一部材には同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。第4実施形態のフランジの溶接位置決め装置1−4では、第1実施形態の図2,4,5と同様の内壁当接部10及び外周突設部12を有するL字体構成で当たり部7と段差部14を有する位置決め部材5の構成である点は第1実施形態と同様である。この第4実施形態のフランジの溶接位置決め装置では、複数の位置決め部材を支持する構造並びに円筒管の内壁側に内壁当接部10を押し付け操作する構成を含む装着機構6が第1実施形態と異なる。すなわち、本実施形態の装着機構6は、拡大縮小装置60と、操作部62とを含む。本実施形態の位置決め部材541,542、543は3個設けられており、この3個の位置決め部材を拡大縮小装置60により円筒管の半径方向に同時に拡大縮小自在に支持する。   Next, although 4th Embodiment of this invention is described with reference to FIGS. 8-16, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same member as 1st Embodiment, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. In the flange welding positioning device 1-4 according to the fourth embodiment, the contact portion 7 is formed in an L-shaped configuration having the inner wall contact portion 10 and the outer peripheral protrusion portion 12 similar to those in FIGS. The point which is the structure of the positioning member 5 which has the level | step-difference part 14 is the same as that of 1st Embodiment. The flange welding positioning apparatus according to the fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in a mounting mechanism 6 including a structure for supporting a plurality of positioning members and a structure for pressing the inner wall contact portion 10 against the inner wall side of the cylindrical tube. . That is, the mounting mechanism 6 of this embodiment includes an enlargement / reduction device 60 and an operation unit 62. In this embodiment, three positioning members 541, 542, and 543 are provided, and these three positioning members are supported by the enlarging / reducing device 60 so that they can be enlarged and reduced simultaneously in the radial direction of the cylindrical tube.

図9,10,13,14において、拡大縮小装置60は、位置決め部材に接続されて複数個の位置決め部材を円筒管の半径方向に同時に拡大縮小自在に支持する手段であり、実施形態において、円筒管2の軸方向に長いねじ軸64と、ねじ軸の相互離隔位置において螺合され、ねじ軸のいずれかの回転方向について相互に近接又は離隔移動する2個のナット部材66、68と、ナット部材の同心軸回りの同一位相120度位置にそれぞれ3個設けられた軸支ブラケット66A、66B、66C、68A、68B、68Cと、一端が軸支ブラケット66A、66B、66Cに枢支され他端がL字体の内壁当接部10の基端寄り位置に枢支されたリンク杆70A、71A、72A、一端が他のナット部材の軸支ブラケット68A、68B、68Cに枢支され他端がL字体の内壁当接部10の先端側寄り位置に枢支されたリンク杆70B、71B、72Bと、各位相のリンク杆とL字体の位置決め部材541,542,543とを任意のリンク折角で付勢保持する付勢部材74(図13,14参照)と、を備えている。なお、図8,10,11,15,16は付勢部材及び移動管を破線枠で囲んでそれらの図示を省略している。実施形態において、2個のナット部材66、68の中間におけるねじ軸64に移動管76が遊挿されており、この移動管76の外周120度位置に3個の係止リング78が固定されている。この係止リング78とそれぞれの位相に対応する一対のリンク杆、並びにこれらの対向するリンク杆同士を両端に接続して付勢ばね80群が設けられている。付勢ばね群は、各位相の位置決め部材に対応する付勢部材としての付勢ばね80a1、80a2、80a3、80b1、80b2、80b3、80c1、80c2、80c3を含み、各位相の位置決め部材についてリンク杆によるリンク角を付勢保持させる。また、移動管76の両側のねじ軸外周部分にはコイルばね82,82が嵌挿され、移動管76を常時2個のナット部材66、68の中央位置に位置させるようにばね付勢している。これによって、周方向120度離隔位置の3つの位相ごとに各位相で支持された3個の位置決め部材を円筒管の半径方向に同時に拡大縮小自在に支持するものである。複数のリンク杆70、72と付勢部材74により、リンク節において各自にランダムに折れた状態となることなく、適度に円筒管2の半径方向に拡大してあるまとまった立体形状を保持することができるから、円筒管の口縁から内壁当接部10を挿入させる際に(図11参照)、装置全体が付勢部材により柔らかな緊張状態でラグビーボール状から四角錐体状に保形しつつ自在に形状を変化させることができる。このとき、120度位置の各内壁当接部は同時に拡大縮小できるから、円筒管の真円に正しく内壁当接部を当接し、段差部14の段差面14aに円筒管の端面を当てた状態を設定できる。   9, 10, 13, and 14, the enlargement / reduction device 60 is a means that is connected to the positioning member and supports the plurality of positioning members simultaneously in the radial direction of the cylindrical tube so that the enlargement / reduction is possible. A screw shaft 64 that is long in the axial direction of the tube 2, two nut members 66 and 68 that are screwed together at mutually spaced positions of the screw shaft and move close to or away from each other in any rotational direction of the screw shaft; Three support brackets 66A, 66B, 66C, 68A, 68B, 68C provided at three positions with the same phase around the concentric axis of the member, and one end pivotally supported by the support brackets 66A, 66B, 66C. Are pivotally supported near the base end of the L-shaped inner wall abutting portion 10, and one end pivots to the pivot brackets 68A, 68B, 68C of the other nut members. The link rods 70B, 71B, 72B, the other ends of which are pivotally supported at positions closer to the front end side of the L-shaped inner wall contact portion 10, and the link rods of the respective phases and the L-shaped positioning members 541, 542, 543 are arbitrarily provided. And an urging member 74 (see FIGS. 13 and 14) for urging and holding at the link folding angle. 8, 10, 11, 15, and 16, the urging member and the moving tube are surrounded by a broken line frame, and illustration thereof is omitted. In the embodiment, the moving tube 76 is loosely inserted into the screw shaft 64 between the two nut members 66 and 68, and the three locking rings 78 are fixed to the position of the outer periphery 120 degrees of the moving tube 76. Yes. A pair of link rods corresponding to the locking ring 78 and the respective phases, and the opposing link rods are connected to both ends to provide a biasing spring 80 group. The urging spring group includes urging springs 80a1, 80a2, 80a3, 80b1, 80b2, 80b3, 80c1, 80c2, and 80c3 as urging members corresponding to the positioning members of the respective phases. Energize and hold the link angle. In addition, coil springs 82 and 82 are fitted and inserted into the outer peripheral portions of the screw shafts on both sides of the moving tube 76, and the moving tube 76 is urged by spring so that it is always positioned at the center position of the two nut members 66 and 68. Yes. As a result, the three positioning members supported at each of the three phases at the circumferentially spaced 120 degrees are supported at the same time in the radial direction of the cylindrical tube so as to be freely expandable / reducible. The plurality of link rods 70 and 72 and the urging member 74 maintain a solid shape that is appropriately expanded in the radial direction of the cylindrical tube 2 without being randomly folded at the link node. Therefore, when the inner wall abutting portion 10 is inserted from the edge of the cylindrical tube (see FIG. 11), the entire apparatus is held in a soft tension state from the rugby ball shape to the quadrangular pyramid shape by the biasing member. The shape can be changed freely. At this time, since the inner wall abutting portions at 120 degrees can be enlarged and reduced at the same time, the inner wall abutting portion correctly abuts on the perfect circle of the cylindrical tube, and the end surface of the cylindrical tube is in contact with the stepped surface 14a of the stepped portion 14 Can be set.

また、本実施形態では、図12に示すように、位置決め部材541,542,543のL字体の隅部に設けられた段差部14において、その段差面14aよりも外方向に向けて高い位置でフランジ4のフランジ孔壁に当接して受ける孔壁受け高さ調整装置90が設けられている。実施形態において、孔壁受け高さ調整装置90は、外周突設部または内壁当接部の基部となるL字体の隅部において、段差部14を円筒管の半径外方向に向けて進退させる先端部を有するねじ体92からなり、ねじ体92の先端部の段差面14aからの突出高さ位置を変えることにより、ねじ体92の先端部がフランジ孔壁に当たり、これによって、管軸直角の当たり面に位置する当たり部7を正しく確実に設定することができる。なお、本実施形態においては、図12のように、ねじ体からなる孔壁受け高さ調整装置90を設けることなく、第1実施形態のように、円筒管の管厚さに対応する段差部の段差長として孔壁受け高さ調整を不要とする構成としてもよい。また、第2実施形態の図5のように、内壁当接部と外周突設部を分離して内壁当接部から段差部を含む外周突設部を半径方向に進退調整可能としてもよい。   Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, in the level | step-difference part 14 provided in the corner | angular part of the L-shaped body of the positioning members 541, 542, and 543, it is higher in the outward direction than the level | step difference surface 14a. A hole wall receiving height adjusting device 90 is provided in contact with the flange hole wall of the flange 4. In the embodiment, the hole wall receiving height adjusting device 90 has a tip that advances and retracts the stepped portion 14 toward the radially outward direction of the cylindrical tube at the corner of the L-shaped body serving as the base of the outer peripheral protruding portion or the inner wall abutting portion. A screw body 92 having a threaded portion, and by changing the protruding height position of the tip end portion of the screw body 92 from the stepped surface 14a, the tip end portion of the screw body 92 hits the flange hole wall, thereby causing a contact perpendicular to the tube axis. The contact part 7 located on the surface can be set correctly and reliably. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the stepped portion corresponding to the tube thickness of the cylindrical tube is provided as in the first embodiment without providing the hole wall receiving height adjusting device 90 made of a screw body. It is good also as a structure which does not require adjustment of a hole wall receiving height as the level | step difference of this. Further, as shown in FIG. 5 of the second embodiment, the inner wall abutting portion and the outer peripheral protruding portion may be separated so that the outer peripheral protruding portion including the stepped portion can be adjusted to advance and retreat in the radial direction from the inner wall abutting portion.

本実施形態において、操作部62は、ねじ軸64の一端側に取り付けた操作ハンドル84で構成されており、操作ハンドル84を回動すると、各位相の一対のリンク杆と位置決め部材5がジャッキ式に位置決め部材を拡大、縮小駆動させる。すなわち、操作ハンドルを介してねじ軸64をいずれかの方向に回動させると、ねじ軸に螺合する2つのナット部材66,68は、ねじ軸に螺合してそれぞれが回転することなく、さらに周方向120度位置の位相を変化させることなく保持しながらねじ軸の長手方向のナット部材同士の離隔間隔を大小変化させる。例えばハンドルの右回転により2つのナット部材はねじ軸と螺合しつつねじ軸上を互いに近接移動し、このとき、リンク杆のリンク角を小さくし半径方向に立ち上げ、図16に示すように、位置決め部材を半径伸長方向に変位させ、これによって、3つの位置決め部材は拡大方向に同時に移動し管端の3点に内壁当接部を当接させ得る。これによって、円筒管の管端の面が管軸と直交しておれば管軸に直交する外周突設部並びに当たり部7が得られることとなる。したがって、最終的には、操作ハンドルの締め込み回動により位置決め部材を円筒管内壁に圧接させ、その状態でフランジ4を管端方向に移動させて当たり部7に当接させるものである。なお、図15は、円筒管の管径が小さい場合、図16は、管径が大きい場合の拡大縮小装置によるねじ軸上のナット部材の位置とリンク杆の変位状態を示しており、いずれの場合も、内壁当接部及び外周突設部を含む位置決め部材がその段差部において正しく円筒管端に装着され、外周突設部による管軸直交部分としての当たり部7を設定した状態を示している。   In the present embodiment, the operation unit 62 includes an operation handle 84 attached to one end of the screw shaft 64. When the operation handle 84 is rotated, a pair of link rods and positioning members 5 of each phase are jack-type. The positioning member is enlarged and reduced. That is, when the screw shaft 64 is rotated in either direction via the operation handle, the two nut members 66 and 68 screwed to the screw shaft are screwed to the screw shaft without rotating each other. Further, the distance between the nut members in the longitudinal direction of the screw shaft is changed in size while being held without changing the phase at the position of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. For example, by rotating the handle to the right, the two nut members are moved closer to each other on the screw shaft while being screwed with the screw shaft. At this time, the link angle of the link rod is reduced and raised in the radial direction, as shown in FIG. Then, the positioning member is displaced in the radial extension direction, whereby the three positioning members can be moved simultaneously in the enlargement direction and the inner wall contact portion can be brought into contact with the three points of the pipe end. Accordingly, if the surface of the tube end of the cylindrical tube is orthogonal to the tube axis, the outer peripheral projecting portion and the contact portion 7 orthogonal to the tube axis are obtained. Accordingly, the positioning member is finally brought into pressure contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical tube by tightening and rotating the operation handle, and in this state, the flange 4 is moved in the tube end direction and brought into contact with the contact portion 7. FIG. 15 shows the position of the nut member on the screw shaft and the displacement state of the link rod when the pipe diameter of the cylindrical pipe is small, and FIG. In this case, the positioning member including the inner wall abutting portion and the outer peripheral protruding portion is correctly attached to the end of the cylindrical tube at the stepped portion, and the contact portion 7 as the tube axis orthogonal portion by the outer peripheral protruding portion is set. Yes.

第4実施形態では、装置1−4を把持してねじ軸の一端側を若干挿入し、ハンドル84を回動操作して位置決め部材を半径方向に拡大方向移動させつつ位置決め部材の段差部の段差面14aを円筒管端面に正しく当たるように操作する。このとき、周方向120度離隔位置でそれぞれ同時に半径方向に位置決め部材は向かうから内壁当接部10が正しく円筒管の内壁に当接すると外周突設部12の当たり部7は、円筒管2に対して直角度を有する面上の部位として設定され、この状態で操作部62を操作して装置を円筒管端縁部分に固定し、この状態で予め円筒管に挿入していたフランジ4を管端方向に戻し移動させて、正しい溶接位置を設定することとなる。位置設定状態で、仮付けさらに本付け溶接を行ってフランジを円筒管に接合させる。   In the fourth embodiment, the device 1-4 is grasped and one end side of the screw shaft is slightly inserted, and the handle 84 is turned to move the positioning member in the radial direction in the enlargement direction. The surface 14a is operated so as to correctly contact the end surface of the cylindrical tube. At this time, since the positioning members are simultaneously directed in the radial direction at 120 degrees apart from each other in the circumferential direction, when the inner wall abutting portion 10 correctly abuts against the inner wall of the cylindrical tube, the contact portion 7 of the outer circumferential protruding portion 12 is brought into contact with the cylindrical tube 2. In this state, the operation unit 62 is operated to fix the device to the end portion of the cylindrical tube, and in this state, the flange 4 previously inserted into the cylindrical tube is connected to the tube. By moving back in the end direction, the correct welding position will be set. In the position setting state, temporary welding and permanent welding are performed to join the flange to the cylindrical tube.

上記の第4実施形態においては2つのナット部材66.68は、それぞれ外周120度位相位置に3個の軸支ブラケットを有し、それに対応する一対のリンク杆を計3対有する構成で、同時に3個の位置決め部材を120度位置で半径方向に拡大縮小させる構成としているが、必ずしも3つの位相での3個の位置決め部材の拡大縮小構成に限ることなく、例えば図17のように、180度位置に2個の位置決め部材を支持して同時に半径方向に拡大縮小させる構成としてもよいし、また、図18に示すように、90度位置に計4個の位置決め部材を支持して同時に拡大縮小操作を行って溶接位置を設定させるようにすることも可能である。   In the fourth embodiment, each of the two nut members 66.68 has three shaft support brackets at the outer peripheral 120 degree phase position, and has a pair of link rods corresponding to the three shaft support brackets. The three positioning members are configured to be enlarged / reduced in the radial direction at a 120 ° position, but are not necessarily limited to the three-member positioning member enlargement / reduction configuration in three phases, for example, as shown in FIG. A configuration may be adopted in which two positioning members are supported at the position and simultaneously enlarged or reduced in the radial direction, or, as shown in FIG. 18, a total of four positioning members are supported at the 90 degree position and simultaneously enlarged or reduced. It is also possible to perform the operation and set the welding position.
