At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and the like used in the specification are only for easy understanding and description, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship, without substantially changing the technical content, is also considered as the scope of the present application.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a split modular assembly process of a molten iron car frame, wherein the molten iron car frame comprises two left and right main longitudinal beams 1, support cross beams 2 welded between the two main longitudinal beams 1, the main longitudinal beams 1 are arranged in the front-back direction, the support cross beams 2 are arranged in the left-right direction, the middle position of the molten iron car frame is a ladle placing space 7 for placing a ladle, a plurality of support cross beams 2 are arranged in the front area of the ladle placing space 7 and the front area, and connecting longitudinal beams 3 or cylinder seat beams 5 are welded between the support cross beams 2, and support flanges 4 are welded on the support cross beams 2 and the connecting longitudinal beams 3.

[0042] The split modular assembly process of the present application comprises the following steps S1-S5:

[0043] S1, the support cross beams 2, the connecting longitudinal beams 3, and the cylinder seat beams 5 in the front area of the ladle placing space 7 are assembled and preliminarily welded into one body, and are recorded as a front module frame, referring to Figure 2 Similarly, the support cross beams 2, the connecting longitudinal beams 3, and the cylinder seat beams 5 in the rear area of the ladle placing space 7 are assembled and preliminarily welded into one body, and are recorded as a rear module frame. In this embodiment, the front module frame and the rear module frame are mirror images of each other, and have the same structure. Of course, in other cases, the two can also be different.

[0044] As a preferred design, referring to Figure 1In the embodiment, both the front module frame and the rear module frame further comprise a reverse deformation support 11 arranged between two adjacent support cross beams 2 during assembly, the two ends of the reverse deformation support 11 abutting against the two support cross beams 2 respectively; and the reverse deformation support 11 is preliminarily welded with the support cross beams 2 to be integrated, the reverse deformation support 11 being used to increase the overall rigidity of the module frame to reduce deformation. The reverse deformation support 11 is arranged at a suitable position as required, and specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 For some adjacent support cross beams 2, only a connecting longitudinal beam 3 or a cylinder seat beam 5 is arranged between the two support cross beams 2 at the middle position, and the left and right sides are vacant, thus deformation is prone to occur, and therefore a reverse deformation support 11 is arranged at each of the left and right sides. The reverse deformation supports 11 are cut off after the front module frame and the rear module frame are welded and before being sent for machining, so as not to affect subsequent machining and welding.

[0045] See Figure 3 Preferably, in the step, the assembly and preliminary welding of the front module frame and the rear module frame are both completed on a welding platform, and the process comprises: S11, assembling a welding platform according to the structure of the module frame, the welding platform comprising a platform plate 10 and a limiting block 8 fixed on the platform plate 10; S12, placing and assembling the module frame on the platform plate 10, specifically, assembling the support cross beams 2, the connecting longitudinal beams 3 and the cylinder seat beams 5 according to the size requirements, the limiting block 8 abutting against the outer sides of the module frame, specifically, abutting against the outer sides of the support cross beams 2 and the connecting longitudinal beams 3, so as to limit the position of the module frame and complete the assembly to ensure the size accuracy; and S13, preliminarily welding the support cross beams 2, the connecting longitudinal beams 3 and the cylinder seat beams 5 of the module frame to be integrated. In the step, the preliminary welding can be simple welding such as spot welding, and only the support cross beams 2, the connecting longitudinal beams 3 and the cylinder seat beams 5 need to be welded and fixed, without strict welding according to the process requirements.

[0046] S2, checking the flatness and the outer shape size of the front module frame and the rear module frame, and welding according to the requirements after passing the check, specifically, including welding between the support cross beams 2 and the connecting longitudinal beams 3, and welding between the support cross beams 2 and the cylinder seat beams 5.

[0047] Preferably, in this step, the welding process of the front and rear module frames includes: S21, first welding the horizontal weld between the support cross beam 2 and the connecting longitudinal beam 3 in the module frame, which is free state welding because the welding amount is small; S22, on the welding platform, L-shaped fixed clamps 9 are arranged around the module frame, the L-shaped fixed clamps 9 are fixed on the platform plate 10 and are pressed on the upper surface of the module frame, specifically on the outer side of the support cross beam 2 and the connecting longitudinal beam 3, to fix the module frame on the welding platform; S23, after the front surface weld and the back surface weld on the module frame are welded, the module frame is turned over once, is fixed again in the same way as step S22, and the front surface weld and the back surface weld are welded.

[0048] S3, after the front module frame and the rear module frame are welded, the flatness of the flange mounting surface for welding the support flange 4 is checked, and the support flange 4 is welded after meeting the requirements. Preferably, in this embodiment, the infrared level gauge is used to check the entire flange mounting surface, and the number of check points of each flange mounting surface is not less than 4, and the height difference is not more than 3 mm.

[0049] S4, after the support flange 4 is welded, the flatness of the support flange 4 is checked, and the front module frame and the rear module frame are sent to processing after passing the inspection, wherein the content of sending to processing can include surface treatment, pickling and other conventional processing, which can be completed in the factory or sent to an external factory. In this embodiment, preferably, the process of checking the flatness of the support flange 4 includes: using an infrared level gauge to measure the flatness of the top surface of the support flange 4, and the number of check points of each support flange 4 is not less than 4, and the height difference is not more than 3 mm. After the welding of the support flange 4 is completed, a baking gun is used to bake the welding area of the support flange 4, the temperature during baking is 80-100℃, stress release is performed, and the rigid fixation of the module frame is released after completely cooling.

[0050] S5, after the processing is completed, the two main longitudinal beams 1 are positioned to be parallel, the front module frame and the rear module frame are placed between the two main longitudinal beams 1 and are positioned, see Figure 4 The support cross beam 2 of the front module frame and the rear module frame is assembled and welded with the two main longitudinal beams 1, and the welding of the weld between the support cross beam 2 and the main longitudinal beam 1 in the front module frame and the rear module frame is completed through three times of turning over. Since the front module frame and the rear module frame have been stably integrated at this time, the turning over is convenient, and the number of times of turning over can be reduced compared with the existing design. And the welding in this step is only concentrated between the support cross beam 2 and the main longitudinal beam 1, so the welding task is less, and the high-altitude stay time after each turning over can be reduced, thereby reducing the danger in work. In addition, the guardrails 6 and the bread seats can also be welded at this stage, and thus the welding of the entire iron water vehicle frame is completed, see Figure 5 .

[0051] The split modular assembly process of the present application can reduce the number of turning over, reduce the high-altitude time after turning over, and reduce the safety risk by adopting the modular manufacturing mode to weld the front and rear module frames first and then weld them with the two main longitudinal beams 1. The process can reduce the number of adjustments in the overall assembly process, improve the assembly efficiency, reduce the requirement for the equipment capacity of the machining manufacturer, reduce the outsourcing machining cost, and shorten the machining cycle. After adopting the process, the overall assembly of the vehicle frame is simplified, the operation is simple and easy to implement, the machining cost is greatly reduced while the precision requirement is met, and the manufacturing efficiency is improved.

[0052] In summary, the present application effectively overcomes the various shortcomings in the prior art and has a high industrial utilization value.

[0053] The above examples only illustratively explain the principles and effects of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above examples without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
