[0002] The arch beams of large storage tanks are mostly "H" steel curved structures, which are generally made by self-cutting and manual welding. At present, there is no professional assembly platform. Due to the thickness of the plate itself, deformation is very easy to occur during the assembly and welding of the arch beams, and the deformation is complex and diverse, making it difficult to correct the shape later. At the same time, the efficiency of welding the arch beams of large storage tanks by manual welding is relatively low, and the welding quality cannot be effectively guaranteed.

[0003] The assembly, welding deformation and weld quality problems of the vault beams of large storage tanks seriously affect the on-time delivery of products. The traditional method of assembly and welding deformation prevention of vault beams of large storage tanks is mainly to limit and fix the plates through ground molds, adjust the welding process for control, and correct the deformed position of the vault beams again after welding. When the above traditional process is used, it is often necessary to make ground molds of different specifications according to the vault beam structures of different specifications, which will occupy the construction site and waste a lot of construction auxiliary materials and human resources; at the same time, the production accuracy and production efficiency of the vault beams are also relatively low, which seriously affects the construction cycle of the product.

The number of support plates corresponds to the number of pallets in each group, and the clamping operation of each position of each component of the vault beam 2 can be controlled by one person. An integrated assembly welding method for a large storage tank vault beam 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Provide the components of the welding system as described above, and install and debug them.

[0046] Before welding the two groups of arch beams, select a suitable number of platform units according to the length of the arch beam 2 and assemble them in sequence; then connect and debug each platform unit with the PLC controller and the drive device to ensure the displacement accuracy of the pallet assembly in each platform unit.

[0047] Step 2: The PLC controller designs the positions of the first clamping plate 1.6 and the second clamping plate 1.12 in each clamping plate assembly according to the relevant specification parameters of the arch beam 2.

[0048] Input relevant specification parameters of the vault beam 2 such as the length and width of the vault beam 2, the curvature of the vault beam 2, etc. into the PLC controller. The PLC controller designs the setting positions of the first clamping plate 1.6 and the second clamping plate 1.12 in each clamping plate assembly according to the relevant specification parameters of the vault beam 2, and the spacing between the first clamping plate 1.6 and the second clamping plate 1.12, so that the connecting line of the setting position of each first clamping plate 1.6 is adapted to the contour line of the inner flange plate 2.1 of the vault beam 2, the connecting line of the setting position of each second clamping plate 1.12 is adapted to the contour line of the outer flange plate 2.2 of the vault beam 2, and the spacing between the first clamping plate 1.6 and the second clamping plate 1.12 is adapted to the width of the vault beam 2.

[0049] Step 3: The PLC controller receives the displacement information of each displacement sensor, and calculates the driving displacement of each driving device in combination with the set positions of the first card plate 1.6 and the second card plate 1.12 in each card plate assembly, and controls the driving device to move the first card plate 1.6 and the second card plate 1.12 into position; and places the lower support plate 1.5 on the platform base 1.1 between the first card plate 1.6 and the second clamping plate.

[0050] Step 4: hoist the inner and outer flange plates and web plate 2.3 of the vault beam 2 onto the assembly platform 1, clamp the inner and outer flange plates with the first clamp plate 1.6 and the second clamp plate 1.12, and place the upper support plate 1.18 on the web plate 2.3. Specifically, place the inner flange plate 2.1 of the vault beam 2 at the set position of each first clamp plate 1.6, place the web plate 2.3 of the vault beam 2 on each lower support plate 1.5, place the outer flange plate 2.2 of the vault beam 2 at the set position of the second clamp plate 1.12, and place the upper support plate 1.18 on the web plate 2.3; sequentially adjust the pneumatic push rod mechanism 1.17 corresponding to each group of clamp plate assemblies, so that the first clamp plate 1.6 and the second clamp plate 1.12 clamp the inner and outer flange plates of the vault beam 2.

[0051] Step 5: Automated welding of the vault beam 2. After the vault beam 2 is clamped and assembled, the automatic welding device 3 is controlled by a welder to perform intermittent automatic jump welding with two guns. The automatic welding device 3 is a gas shielded welding device, and the welding gun has a tracking and identification function. The two welding guns can realize synchronous automatic positioning, tracking and identification welding. After the intermittent welding is completed, the support plate position is adjusted, and two welds are synchronously welded again at the shielded position. After the upper part of the vault beam 2 is welded, it is turned over and clamped, assembled and welded using the same process.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
