Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of crane manufacturing, and more specifically to an automatic welding device for reinforcing ribs of a main beam web Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of China's industrial level and manufacturing capacity, the application scope of cranes has become increasingly extensive. A crane refers to a multi-action lifting machine that vertically lifts and horizontally transports heavy objects within a certain range. Among them, a bridge crane is a type of bridge crane that runs on elevated tracks, also known as an overhead crane. The bridge of the bridge crane runs longitudinally along the tracks laid on both sides of the elevated structure, and the lifting trolley runs transversely along the tracks laid on the bridge, forming a rectangular working range, which can make full use of the space under the bridge to lift materials without being hindered by ground equipment.

[0003] The bridge crane is composed of a main beam and end beams, which are rigidly connected. The structure of the main beam is formed by welding reinforcing ribs and connecting inner vertical plates to two steel plates in the shape of the main beam, that is, the main beam web. During the production and manufacturing process of the main beam, since the main beam web is a thin steel plate about one centimeter thick and has a relatively large length, multiple reinforcing ribs need to be welded in parallel on the inner side wall of the main beam web to increase the strength and stiffness of the main beam web. Currently, the welding of the reinforcing ribs of the main beam web mainly relies on manual welding. The reinforcing ribs are generally angle steels. A single welding worker simply cannot complete the vertical welding of the angle steel, and the welding efficiency is relatively low. Each main beam web requires at least three reinforcing ribs. A welding worker needs at least one day to weld the reinforcing ribs of three main beam lengths, and the labor intensity is relatively high. Welding causes great harm to the human body and is not conducive to safe production; moreover, when manually welding the reinforcing ribs of the main beam web, the welding position of the reinforcing ribs cannot be changed to adapt to the shape of the main beam edge, and only straight-line welding can be performed, which results in poor strength uniformity of the main beam web and inconsistent load-bearing capacities of each part, affecting the product quality of the crane main beam. Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned existing technical problems and defects has become a key problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The working principle of the automatic welding equipment for the main beam web stiffener of the present invention:

[0047] First, place the main girder web plate with the initial welding ends of the stiffeners pre-spot welded on the material feeding table. The electronic control unit controls the carrier trolley to drive the frame to move on the welding track, so that the welding spacing adjustable device is translated to the initial welding end of the stiffener to be welded at the end of the main girder web plate. According to the positions of the stiffeners pre-spot welded on the main girder web plate, adjust the position of the welding carrier plate according to the following method: Starting from the rightmost welding carrier plate, adjust the adjustment drive on the tracking carrier plate of the adjacent profiling tracking mechanism to drive the adjustment lead screw to rotate. As a result, the rightmost welding carrier plate is translated along the adjustment slide rail driven by the adjustment nut to align it with the stiffener of the rightmost main girder web plate. Then, use the same method to sequentially adjust the adjacent left welding carrier plates to align the welding carrier plates with the corresponding stiffeners of the main girder web plate, and determine the welding positions of the welding carrier plates on the adjustment slide rail. The angle steel stiffeners only play a role in strengthening the main girder web plate and are not subject to impact loads themselves. Therefore, only the single-sided section needs to be welded. When starting to weld the stiffeners of the main girder web plate, the profiling tracking mechanism drives the tracking lead screw through the tracking motor to move the tracking carrier plate on the adjustment slide rail, so that the edge rolling wheel of the tracking sensor abuts against the edge of the main girder web plate. When welding, the electronic control unit controls the translation motor of the carrier trolley to work, so that it drives the translation gear to engage and transmit on the driving rack, thereby driving the frame and the welding spacing adjustable device to translate and weld above the main girder web plate along the welding track. At this time, the edge rolling wheel rolls along the edge of the main girder web plate. When there is a non-linear change in the edge of the main girder web plate, the edge rolling wheel moves against the movable rod of the stroke sensor to generate a displacement signal. After the displacement signal is fed back to the electronic control unit, the electronic control unit controls the forward and reverse rotation of the tracking motor to perform profiling adjustment of the position of the tracking carrier plate on the adjustment slide rail according to the shape of the edge of the main girder web plate, so that the welded stiffeners match the shape of the main girder web plate, achieving the purpose of high uniformity of the strength of the main girder web plate and more consistent load-bearing capacity of each part, and realizing the full-automatic welding of the stiffeners of the main girder web plate. The welding efficiency and quality have achieved a breakthrough improvement compared with manual welding.

The inner cavity of the fixed ejector rod is externally connected to a high-pressure air source to provide a downward pre-pressure for the movable ejector rod. The pressing wheel is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the movable ejector rod.
