Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an internal welding machine and its internal structure, specifically to a welding torch head device, a welding turntable, and an internal welding machine, belonging to the field of machinery. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the natural gas, oil, and chemical industries, internal welding machines have become indispensable welding equipment in pipeline construction operations. The quality of the welding gun box in the internal welding machine directly affects the quality of the entire welding result. Therefore, the functional quality of the welding gun box has become one of the important factors in the industry for judging the quality of equipment. Various companies are also striving to make their welding gun boxes easier to adjust, easier to use, more stable, and more reliable.
[0003] Currently, most welding gun boxes on the market are not highly integrated. They are basically assembled from various standard components. The gun box is assembled from side plates and an upper cover. The swing (hinged rotation) of the welding gun or gun box is achieved by controlling a cylinder. Due to the large volume of the gun box caused by the rotation space and the fact that the structure is basically a force-intensive structure, the cylinder needs to provide a greater output force.
[0004] Existing equipment, designed to accommodate the various functions of the welding gun housing, has a complex structure with each function existing or designed separately, relying heavily on standard parts. This limitation restricts the overall size of the welding gun housing, resulting in a relatively large weight. Furthermore, the hinged rotating structure causes the angle between the welding gun and the pipe to change with each adjustment of the adjusting nut, altering the overlap and failing to meet welding requirements. This necessitates readjustment of the overlap, significantly increasing the operator's adjustment difficulty. Additionally, this structure is essentially labor-intensive in application, placing high demands on the cylinder's thrust.
[0005] like Figure 1-1 and 1-2 As shown, in the existing welding torch box, the torch box base 1 is fixed to the inner welding machine. The lower end of the rubber telescopic sleeve 2 is fixed to the torch box base 1, and the upper end is connected to the welding torch box 5. The welding torch box 5 is connected to the torch box base 1 through a hinge device 6. The welding torch head 3 is mounted on the angle adjustment mechanism 9 and separated by an insulating collar 8. One end of the angle adjustment mechanism 9 is connected to the welding torch box 5, and the other end is connected to the lateral adjustment mechanism 7. The lateral adjustment mechanism 7 is mounted on the welding torch box 5. The cylinder of the welding torch cylinder 4 is connected to the welding torch base 1, and the piston rod is connected to the welding torch box 5. The wire feeding mechanism is generally mounted on the front frame of the inner welding machine, which has the following drawbacks:
[0006] 1. If the wire feeding mechanism is on the front frame, it is inevitable that the wire feeding needs to be bent, which results in the wire exiting the gun head with a bend;
[0007] 2. Long wire feeding distance leads to increased wire feeding resistance;
[0008] 3. If the wire feeding distance is too long, the welding wire may twist during the transmission process, resulting in the welding wire not being in a consistent state when it exits the welding gun;
[0009] 4. The size is too large and cannot be used in equipment with small pipe diameters;
[0010] 5. The increased weight and length of the front frame increased the difficulty of equipment debugging. Summary of the Invention

[0047] This invention provides a welding torch head device, a welding turntable, and an internal welding machine. The torch head adjustment device allows for horizontal adjustment of the torch head position according to welding requirements, while the torch box adjustment device allows for vertical adjustment. The base adjustment device enables the torch head to move up and down to accommodate welding pipe walls of varying thicknesses. This invention offers the following beneficial technical effects:
[0048] (1) The gun head adjustment device, gun box adjustment device and base adjustment device are fully integrated and built into the gun box, making all the structures compact and the overall volume much smaller than the existing welding gun boxes;
[0049] (2) The gun box adjustment device acts directly on the gun box, making the gun box move in a straight line, avoiding the hinged rotation structure in the prior art; since the space occupied by the hinged rotation structure is much larger than that of the gun box adjustment device, the gun box adjustment device makes the overall volume of the welding gun head device smaller.
[0050] (3) The gun box adjustment device makes the gun box move in a straight line. The straight line motion directly transmits the force, which reduces the amplification of the force and reduces energy loss.
[0051] (4) The gun box adjustment device ensures that the gun box moves along the pipe radius during linear motion, thus eliminating the problem of adjusting the overlap of the weld when the wall thickness of the welded pipe is different. This greatly reduces the difficulty of adjustment for the operator and makes the equipment adjustment faster and more convenient.
[0052] (5) The gun head adjustment device includes a slider and an adjustment rod. The slider is set in the track groove of the gun box. The adjustment rod drives the slider to move in the track groove, thereby driving the gun head to move. Therefore, the gun head adjustment process is more stable and reliable, avoiding the error problem of bolt adjustment in the prior art. Moreover, the fit accuracy between the track groove and the slider is necessarily higher than the fit accuracy between the screw and the thread.
[0053] (6) The wire feeding structure is set on the welding turntable so that the wire spool is close to the welding gun head device, so that the welding wire can easily enter the gun head. This can reduce the wire feeding distance, reduce the wire feeding resistance, and reduce the degree of bending of the welding wire, thereby achieving the technical effect of more stable wire feeding and saving welding wire.
[0054] In this invention, the relevant terms have the following meanings:
[0055] Welding wire: A metal wire that melts and fills the joint between two workpieces during the welding process. At the same time, the welding wire also acts as a conductive electrode during operation.
[0056] Weld bead: A single weld bead formed by each deposition of molten metal during welding.
[0057] Overlap amount: Specifically refers to the amount of overlap between two adjacent weld passes during welding. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0074] Example 1:
[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, a welding torch head device includes a torch head 11, a torch housing 10, and a base 15. The torch head 11 is connected to the torch housing 10 via a torch head adjustment device, which drives the torch head 11 to move. The torch housing 10 is connected to the base 15 via a torch housing adjustment device, which drives the torch housing 10 to move. The base 15 is also driven to move via a base adjustment device. The torch housing 10 has a cable interface 10-1, a welding wire inlet 10-2, and a shielding gas inlet 10-3 (e.g., [missing information]). Figure 4 As shown, the gun head 11 is connected to the cable through the cable interface 10-1, the welding wire is inserted into the gun head 11 through the welding wire inlet 10-2, and the protective gas is introduced through the protective gas inlet 10-3. The protective gas is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide.
[0076] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the gun head adjustment device includes a slider 16 and an adjusting rod 18 connected together. The gun head 11 is connected to the slider 16, which is disposed in the track groove 10-6 of the gun box 10. The adjusting rod 18 is connected to an adjusting rod nut 17, which is disposed on the side of the gun box 10. The adjusting rod 18 is locked by the adjusting rod nut 17. When the gun head 11 reaches the predetermined position, the adjusting rod 18 is locked by the adjusting rod nut 17, thereby fixing the position of the gun head 11. The adjusting rod 18 and the slider 16 are connected by a thread. By rotating the adjusting rod 18, the adjusting rod 18 rotates, causing the slider 16 to move within the track groove 10-6, thereby causing the gun head 11 to move. The lateral movement of the slider 16 can cause the gun head 11 to move laterally (movement on the horizontal plane). Figure 2 The direction of the arrow in the image indicates that the position of the gun head can be adjusted laterally during the welding operation according to the welding requirements. The gun head adjustment device is also equipped with a pressure plate 19, which is connected to the gun box 10 and is used to limit the up and down sliding of the slider 16.
[0077] Preferably, the gun head 11 is connected to the slider 16 via a wedge block 12, and the gun head 11 is fixed to the wedge block 12. The wedge block 12 is made of insulating material; the function of the wedge block 12 is to adjust the tilt angle of the gun head 11. During the welding process, the gun head 11 is electrified, and the wedge block 12, being an insulating material, can provide insulation to prevent the gun box 10 from becoming electrified.
[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, the gun case adjustment device is a cylinder 10-4, which is located inside the gun case 10. The cylinder 10-4 includes a piston rod 20 and a piston 21. The piston rod 20 is connected to the base 15. The cylinder cover 22 is located below the cylinder 10-4. The cylinder 10-4 has an air inlet (not shown) and an air outlet (not shown). The movement of the cylinder 10-4 drives the movement of the gun case 10. Since the gun head 11 is connected to the gun case 10, the longitudinal movement (movement on the vertical plane) of the gun case 10... Figure 5 (The arrow in the image) can drive the gun head 11 to move longitudinally.
[0079] like Figure 7 As shown, the gun housing 10 is connected to the base 15 via the piston rod 20 of the cylinder. The base adjustment device is an adjusting screw 14, and the base 15 is connected to the adjusting screw 14. A pressure nut 13 is provided above the adjusting screw 14, and the pressure nut 13 is set on the welding turntable of the inner welding machine (e.g., Figure 8(As shown), thus connecting the base 15 to the welding turntable. A thread is provided below the adjusting screw 14, and the base 15 is connected to the adjusting screw 14 via the thread. Rotating the adjusting screw 14 drives the base 15 to move, and the adjusting screw 14 is locked by the pressure nut 13. When the gun head 11 reaches the predetermined position, the adjusting screw 14 is locked by the pressure nut 13, thereby fixing the position of the gun head 11. A screw 23 and a baffle 24 are also provided at the lower end of the adjusting screw 14. The screw 23 is connected to the adjusting screw 14 via the thread, and the baffle 24 is fixed to the lower end of the adjusting screw 14, restricting the movement of the base 15 within a specified stroke. Since the gun box 10 is connected to the base 15, and the gun head 11 is connected to the gun box 10, rotating the adjusting screw 14 can drive the base 15 to move up and down (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (The arrow in the image indicates the direction of the welding torch), which allows the torch head 11 to move up and down during the welding process to adapt to the different thicknesses of the welded pipe wall.
[0080] The working process of the welding torch head assembly is as follows: the movement of cylinder 10-4 drives the longitudinal movement of torch box 10 (e.g., Figure 5 (As indicated by the arrow in the image), this causes the torch head 11 to move longitudinally, meaning that during the welding operation, the torch head 11 can be extended to the welding position or retracted according to the welding requirements; rotating the pressure nut 13 can loosen or tighten the adjusting screw 14, and rotating the adjusting screw 14 can cause the base 15 to move up and down (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (The arrow in the image indicates the direction of the weld) This allows the torch head 11 to move up and down during the welding process to adapt to different wall thicknesses. The insulating inclined block 12 prevents the torch box 10 from becoming electrified. The tilt angle of the torch head 11 can also be adjusted by replacing the inclined block 12 with different angles. The adjusting rod nut 17 can be rotated to loosen or lock the adjusting rod 18. Rotating the adjusting rod 18 causes it to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 16 to move laterally within the track groove 10-6, thereby causing the torch head 11 to move laterally (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (The direction of the arrow in the image).
[0081] Example 2:
[0082] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the gun box adjustment device is an electric cylinder, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the gun box adjustment device is set as an electric cylinder 10-5, which is located inside the gun box 10. The electric cylinder includes a motor 42, a lead screw 44, and a nut 43. The lead screw 44 is connected to the motor 42, the motor 42 is connected to the base 15, and the nut 43 is connected to the gun box 10, thus securing the electric cylinder 10-5 inside the gun box 10. The movement of the lead screw 44 of the electric cylinder drives the movement of the gun box 10. Since the gun head 11 is connected to the gun box 10, the longitudinal movement (movement on the vertical plane) of the gun box 10... Figure 6(The arrow in the image indicates the direction of ...
[0083] Example 3:
[0084] like Figure 9 As shown, the only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the inclined block 12 in Embodiment 1 is made of insulating material, while the inclined block 12 in this embodiment is made of non-insulating material. An insulating spacer 56 is provided between the gun head 11 and the inclined block 12. Specifically, a dustproof plate 55 is provided on the gun head 11, and the gun head 11 is fixed to the inclined block 12 by screws 56-1. The insulating spacer 56 separates the screws 56-1 from the gun head 11, and the screws 56-1 are directly fastened to the slider 16.

The housing 49 is detachably mounted on the turntable body 46.
[0087] like Figure 11 , 12 As shown, the wire feeding mechanism 48 includes a wire feeding motor 25, a reducer 26, a wire feeding machine support 29, a wire feeding wheel 35, a bearing pressure roller structure, a front wire feeding hole device, and a rear wire feeding hole device. The wire feeding motor 25, reducer 26, wire feeding wheel 35, bearing pressure roller structure, front wire feeding hole device, and rear wire feeding hole device are mounted on the wire feeding machine support 29. The wire feeding wheel 35 is provided with a wire feeding wheel insulating sleeve 36 and a wire feeding wheel insulating pad 37, and a V-groove (not shown in the figure) is provided on the wire feeding wheel 35. The bearing pressure roller structure includes a spring pressure shaft 27, an upper cover plate 28, a spring 30, a pressure roller seat 31, an insulating pad 32, an insulating sleeve 33, and a bearing 34.
