Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a welding system for a tank body, and in particular to a P+T automatic welding system and method suitable for square and round tank bodies. Background Art
[0002] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The square round tank body includes a square round cylinder and special-shaped heads respectively arranged at both ends of the square round cylinder. It has the advantages of large volume, high load capacity, light weight, high safety and zero residual liquid unloading after loading the medium. The processing of the square round tank body has a crucial impact on its quality, among which the circumferential seam welding between the head and the cylinder is an important part of the processing process.
[0003] At present, there are two mainstream welding methods for the circumferential seam welding of square and round tank bodies: one is the manual gas shielded double-sided welding method, and the other is the special machine plasma welding method of imitation form. The manual gas shielded double-sided welding method includes, in sequence, making grooves for the circumferential seam inside the tank body, grinding the grooves, manual gas shielded welding inside the tank body, root cleaning outside the tank body, grinding, manual gas shielded welding outside the tank body, self-inspection, weld grinding, flaw detection, and defect repair. The special machine plasma welding method of imitation form includes, in sequence, grinding the welding part, setting a back protection gas hood inside the tank body, plasma profiling welding, self-inspection, weld appearance grinding, flaw detection, and defect repair.
[0004] However, the manual gas shielded double-sided welding method is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, since the welding process is manually operated, it is easy to cause the weld appearance to be poor, which requires a lot of weld grinding operations later. At the same time, in order to ensure penetration, the consumption of welding wire is large, and the weld is inspected by X-ray, which has many defects and a high rework rate.
[0005] The special plasma welding of the copying type belongs to the automatic welding of the copying plasma special machine. The control during welding is manually intervened. The centering and alignment of the weld need to be adjusted manually. The height of the welding gun from the welded part needs to be adjusted manually during the welding process. During the rotation welding of the container, the welding position is constantly changing, and the posture of the welding gun remains unchanged, which can easily lead to uphill welding and downhill welding when welding the four small arc corners of the square round tank body, resulting in defects such as poor weld appearance and high rework rate. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of complicated steps, time-consuming and labor-intensive, poor weld appearance and high rework rate in the existing circumferential seam welding method for square and round tank bodies, and to provide a P+T automated welding system and method for square and round cross-section special-shaped containers, wherein P stands for plasma arc welding (PAW) and T stands for argon arc welding (TIG).

A P+T automatic welding method suitable for square and round tank bodies according to claim 6, characterized in that: Step 6 is as follows: The two head and tail frame robot positioners (2) start to control the multi-claw clamping system (3) to drive the square round tank body intermediate body to rotate synchronously, and the rotation line speed of the square round tank body intermediate body at the annular seam (101) is a constant value, and then the two plasma welding guns start to weld the annular seam (101); at the same time, the smoke purification system (5) purifies the generated dust, the welding wire barrel (13) replenishes the welding wire in real time, and the tracking device monitors the running trajectory of the two plasma welding guns; Step 7 is as follows: After the two head and tail frame robot positioners (2) control the multi-claw clamping system (3) to drive the square round tank body intermediate body to rotate synchronously for one circle, the welding is completed, and the two welding robots (6) move to the initial position to obtain the square round tank body (4).
8. The P+T automatic welding method for square and round tank bodies according to claim 6 is characterized in that: Step 6 is as follows: The two head and tail frame robot positioners (2) start to control the multi-claw clamping system (3) to drive the square-shaped tank body intermediate body to rotate synchronously, and the rotation line speed of the square-shaped tank body intermediate body at the annular seam (101) is constant, and then the two plasma welding guns and the tungsten inert gas welding gun start to weld the annular seam (101) in turn, and each welding gun welds one circle; at the same time, the smoke purification system (5) purifies the generated dust, the welding wire barrel (13) replenishes the welding wire in real time, and the tracking device monitors the running trajectory of the two plasma welding guns and the tungsten inert gas welding gun; Step 7 is as follows: After the two head and tail frame robot positioners (2) control the multi-claw clamping system (3) to drive the square round tank body intermediate body to rotate synchronously for two weeks, the welding is completed, and the two welding robots (6) move to the initial position to obtain the square round tank body (4).
9. A P+T automated welding method suitable for square and round tank bodies according to any one of claims 6 to 8, characterized in that: Step 2 is as follows: The AGV mobile trolley (11) reaches the first fixed position, controls the lifting plate (1201) and the lifting inclined plate (1203) to rise, carries the square round tank intermediate body thereon, and transports the square round tank body (4) to the welding position; Step 8 is as follows: The AGV mobile vehicle (11) (11) is moved from the second preset position to the first preset position below the square round tank body (4), and the lifting plate (1201) and the lifting inclined plate (1203) are controlled to rise to lift the square round tank body (4). Then, the two head and tail frame robot positioners (2) control the multi-claw clamping system (3) to release and move the system backward to a third preset distance.
