Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of pipeline welding in construction sites, in particular to a pipeline internal welding device and an engineering pipeline welding system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The upper and lower reservoirs of a pumped storage power station have a large drop and a long horizontal distance, and are connected by a water diversion culvert, with a high-pressure steel pipe lining in the culvert. Due to continuous technological progress, the requirements for the pressure strength grade of the lining pipe are becoming higher and higher, and the diameter and wall thickness are also becoming larger and larger, while the installation and operation space reserved for the culvert and the lining pipe is becoming smaller and smaller. The pipeline is first pre-assembled and lengthened by two 3-meter pipes in a steel pipe factory into a 6-meter sectional pipe, with an epoxy resin lining on the inner wall for corrosion prevention. On site, the gap between the sectional pipe to be installed and the installed sectional pipe is fixed by spot welding, the weld is welded and inspected, the new weld area is anticorrosive, and other work is performed. After every 18-meter steel pipe welding (i.e. 3 sectional pipes), about 0.54m thick concrete is poured between the steel pipe and the bedrock. The lining pipe is installed on site by this cycle of sectional welding, pouring concrete, and installing new sectional pipes. The installation period of the pipeline is long, and welding is a key link that restricts the construction quality and period of the pumped storage power station.
[0003] The traditional welding for water diversion pipeline installation adopts a manual welding process, which has inherent defects such as great influence of welder operation on quality stability, low welding efficiency, and specific safety, technical, and period risks in this working condition. Moreover, due to the extremely poor natural ventilation conditions in the culvert, a large amount of smoke dust is generated by arc welding, the humid environment in the culvert is superimposed on the large heat generated by welding, resulting in high environmental temperature, high humidity, poor working environment, and risks such as burns, heat stroke, and toxic and harmful smoke gas poisoning. At the same time, the aging of the population makes it more and more difficult to recruit manual welders, and it is even more difficult to train high-level manual welders, and there is a risk that the shortage of high-level welders will affect the project period due to the dependence on manual welding.
[0004] With the development of science and technology, traditional manual welding operations are gradually replaced by robot automatic welding operations, which solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of traditional manual welding operations, but the existing automatic welding technology still has the following shortcomings: (1) Since the inner wall of the pipeline has been pre-coated with an epoxy resin anticorrosive layer, any temporary welding method is not allowed to fix the welding track on the pipe wall, so the welding track of the existing automatic welding machine is a simple flexible track, which is mostly fixed on the pipeline in the form of magnetic adsorption or a clamp, resulting in great difficulty and time-consuming in the installation and displacement operation of the welding track; (2) Due to the large drop of the culvert, the high air pressure at the bottom and the low air pressure at the top, the chimney effect causes the natural formation of updraft in the culvert, and the wind speed fluctuates greatly with the weather, and most of the time the wind speed exceeds the welding procedure for gas shielded welding, resulting in oxidation of the welding pool metal due to poor gas protection, which seriously endangers the welding quality.

[0032] As Figure 1As shown, as an embodiment of the present application, a pipeline welding device 100 is disclosed for welding the groove 103 between the to-be-installed sectional pipeline 101 and the installed sectional pipeline 102 in the pipeline, especially in the high-pressure steel pipeline lining in the inclined shaft of the pumped storage power station. The pipeline welding device 100 comprises a machine body 1, a ventilation pipe body 2 arranged in the machine body 1, and a walking mechanism 3 for driving the machine body 1 to move and fix in the pipeline. The machine body 1 comprises a first working platform and a second working platform arranged in series, which means that the first working platform can be arranged vertically or obliquely above or below the second working platform. The first working platform comprises a first rack 11, a ring-shaped moving track 12 arranged on the first rack 11, a welding mechanism 13 for welding the to-be-welded part of the groove 103 in the pipeline, and a wind-blocking structure 14 for blocking the upward airflow such as draught in the pipeline from entering the welding operation area. The welding mechanism 13 can move on the moving track 12, and the ring-shaped moving track 12 is arranged on the first rack 11, so it is movable and non-contact with the welded pipeline, and moves with the machine body 1. Therefore, the installation, displacement, and adjustment of the moving track 12 are very convenient and fast, which provides an efficient walking motion track for the movement of the welding mechanism 13 in the pipeline, greatly saves the working hours for installing, displacing, and adjusting the moving track 12 on site, and improves the efficiency of pipeline installation. The moving track 12 can be set as a rigid track, which has stronger bearing capacity and higher stability than the existing flexible track, and can easily meet the welding requirements of reliable fixation, accurate positioning, and fast displacement of the high-precision welding mechanism 13 in the pipeline. The setting of the wind-blocking structure 14 creates a gas-protected welding microenvironment, which can prevent the welding pool metal in the welding operation area from being oxidized by the upward airflow such as draught, and ensures the welding quality. At the same time, the ventilation pipe body 2 penetrates the upper and lower ends of the machine body 1, can guide the upward airflow such as draught to the upper part of the machine body 1, thereby ensuring that the gas protection effect of the welding pool will not be affected, and also guiding the smooth ventilation of the culvert, improving the air quality of the working area. The second working platform comprises a second rack 16 connected with the first rack 11, a second material table 17 arranged in the second rack 16 for carrying personnel and welding operation equipment, which can also facilitate the on-site remote welding or manual repair welding operations of the workers, and is also convenient for storing various welding operation equipment such as power distribution and electrical control cabinet, welding power supply, control console, and welding materials.In this embodiment, four welding mechanisms 13 are provided to form a welding team that works simultaneously, which greatly improves welding efficiency. Anti-collision devices can be set on each adjacent welding mechanism 13 to prevent collision damage accidents. Of course, in other embodiments, one, two, three, five, six or other numbers of welding mechanisms 13 can be set according to the size of the pipeline on site. Compared with manual welding, welding efficiency can be improved to varying degrees.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first frame 11 includes a first circular frame 111 and a first base plate 112 arranged on the first circular frame 111. The windbreak structure 14 includes an annular baffle 141 and a flexible sealing plate 142. The annular baffle 141 is arranged circumferentially around the first circular frame 111. The flexible sealing plate 142 is connected to the outer end of the annular baffle 141. It can overlap with the annular baffle 141 or be connected to the outer side wall of the annular baffle 141. The annular baffle 141 and the flexible sealing plate 142 are configured as a ring structure that matches the shape of the circular pipe. The flexible sealing plate 142 is made of flexible materials such as soft rubber or airbags, which has good airtightness. It can effectively block the airflow channel between the first frame 11 and the inner wall of the pipe, block the rising airflow such as through wind from blowing towards the welding pool in the welding operation area, and does not affect the normal movement of the welding equipment 100 in the pipe. The moving track 12 is arranged above the first frame 11, and the windbreak structure 14 is arranged around the periphery of the first circular frame 111. That is, the windbreak structure 14 is arranged at the upwind end of the welding operation area. The distance between the windbreak structure 14 and the bevel to be welded can be set to ≥0.5m, which can ensure a good windproof effect while preventing the huge heat generated during welding from melting the flexible sealing plate 142. The first base plate 112 also has a certain windproof effect, thereby guiding the rising airflow such as through drafts from the ventilation duct 2 to the top of the machine body 1, further preventing the rising airflow such as through drafts from blowing onto the weld pool in the welding operation area, and ensuring welding quality. The first frame 11 is connected to the upper part of the second frame 16. That is, the second frame 16 is isolated from the welding operation area by the windproof structure 14 and the first base plate 112, which can prevent the huge heat generated during the welding process from entering the second frame 16 and prevent the workers or welding equipment on the second platform 17 from working in a high-temperature environment. The working environment is excellent and the safety is high. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first frame 11 can also be connected to the lower part of the second frame 16, which can also facilitate the workers to perform remote welding or manual repair welding on site, or store various welding equipment.

The flexible sealing plate 142 is arranged to be enclosed by a plurality of flexible plates, or the inner ring support or the outer ring support can be arranged to be enclosed by a plurality of arc-shaped rods. The combined annular baffle 141 and flexible sealing plate 142 are designed to be divided into a plurality of small-volume structures, which facilitates production, processing and assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, the annular baffle 121 or the flexible sealing plate 142 can also be arranged as an integral structure, which can also achieve the shielding effect.

The moving structure 33 is rollingly connected to the inner wall of the pipeline, which reduces the friction between the machine body 1 and the inner wall of the pipeline, and facilitates the easy movement of the machine body 1 relative to the pipeline. Of course, in other embodiments, the roller can also be arranged as a universal roller, so that the machine body 1 can move axially and circumferentially relative to the pipeline, and can also cooperate with the traction structure 31 to drive the machine body 1 to move in the pipeline.
