DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a thin-walled structural component welding deformation control tool, which can solve the problems of the welding deformation control method in the related art, such as large workload, high labor intensity, low efficiency, unstable quality, and inability to meet batch production requirements.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, a thin-walled structural member welding deformation control tool provided by an embodiment of the present invention may include: a base frame 1; a longitudinal anti-deformation mechanism, which is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base frame 1, and the longitudinal anti-deformation mechanism includes a first pad 6 for supporting the main body 21 and a first clamping device 2 for pressing the main body 21; a transverse anti-deformation mechanism, which is arranged at intervals along the width direction of the base frame 1, and the transverse anti-deformation mechanism includes a second pad 5 for supporting the main body 21 and a second clamping device 3 for pressing the main body 21; and an edge anti-deformation mechanism, which includes a clamping channel steel 4 extending along the length direction of the base frame 1, and the clamping channel steel 4 is used to be spot-welded and fixed to the main body 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, the base frame 1 is placed at the bottom of the welding deformation tooling as a reference, the second clamping device 3 and the first clamping device 2 are both fixed to the base frame 1 by welding, the second pad 5 is fixed to the base frame 1 by countersunk screws, and the first pad 6 does not need to be fixed. After the main body is pre-assembled, it can be placed in the middle and fixed. The first clamping device 2 and the first pad 6 can compress and support the structural member in the length direction, thereby suppressing the deformation of the structural member in the length direction. The second clamping device 3 and the second pad 5 can compress and support the structural member in the width direction, thereby suppressing the deformation of the structural member in the width direction. The clamping channel steel 4 can be spot welded to the main body 21, thereby suppressing the wave deformation on the thin-walled edge of the structural member. After the main body 21 is welded, no correction is required, and the overall shape is relatively flat, reducing the deformation of the main body 21 in the transverse and longitudinal directions and the wave deformation on the edge of the main body 21. The main body 21 can be conveniently and reliably welded, with high production efficiency and stable quality, and can ensure that the welding size requirements of the final product are met.

[0032] Specifically, the welding sequence is:

[0033] S1. Control transverse bending deformation. Figure 6 As shown, the main body 21 is laid on the tooling, and a 5mm thick second pad 5 is placed in the middle of the tooling. Both sides of the main body 21 are pressed by the second pressing device 3, which can play a role in lateral anti-deformation after the middle rib is welded.

[0034] S2, control edge wave deformation. Figure 6 As shown, after the middle rib is welded, the compression channel steel 4 and the body 21 are spot-welded along the length direction to strengthen the rigidity of the edge of the body 21 and prevent the edge from wave deformation.

[0035] S3, control longitudinal bending deformation. Referring to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, after the inner rib plate welding is completed, the outer sealing plate is pre-welded, the first cushion block 6 is placed under the body 21, the middle cushion block with a height of 30 mm is placed at the center position of the entire workpiece, the two side cushion blocks with a height of 15 mm are placed at a position 1 meter away from the middle block, and then the entire product is pressed by the first pressing device 2, which plays a role of arching in the middle and sinking on both sides. After the four longitudinal long straight welds are welded, the longitudinal reverse deformation effect can be achieved.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the first cushion block 6 has at least three blocks, one of which is arranged in the middle of the chassis 1, and the other two are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first cushion block 6 in the middle, and the top surface height of the first cushion block 6 on both sides is lower than that of the first cushion block 6 in the middle. In this embodiment, according to the deformation law of the body 21 along the longitudinal direction, the deformation amount of the middle part is greater than that of the two ends. By arranging three first cushion blocks 6 under the body 21, and making the higher first cushion block 6 support the middle part of the body 21, and the lower first cushion block 6 support the two ends of the body 21, and the position and size of the first cushion block 6 can be adjusted according to the size of the deformation amount, so as to specifically inhibit the deformation of different degrees of each position of the body 21, and the anti-deformation effect is better. In other embodiments, the first cushion block 6 can also be arranged in other quantities as needed, which can be less than 3 or more than 3.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the first pressing device 2 can have at least four, two of which are arranged on both sides of the first cushion block 6 in the middle, and the other two are arranged on the side away from the first cushion block 6 in the middle. In this embodiment, the first cushion block 6 in the middle supports the middle part of the body 21, the two first pressing devices 2 close to the middle part hold the two sides of the middle part of the body 21, the first cushion block 6 at the two ends supports the two ends of the body 21, and the first pressing device 2 at the two ends holds the two ends of the body 21. By arranging the first cushion block 6 and the first pressing device 2 alternately, there is a first cushion block 6 between every two first pressing devices 2, and there is a first pressing device 2 between every two first cushion blocks 6, so that the force distribution of the longitudinal anti-deformation mechanism along the length direction of the body 21 is more symmetrical, the force is more uniform, and the deformation inhibition effect is better. In other embodiments, the first pressing device 2 can also be arranged in other quantities as needed, which can be less than 4 or more than 4.

[0038] Further, the spacing between the two middle first pressing devices 2 is greater than the spacing between the two middle first pressing devices 2 and the two side first pressing devices 2, which is more in line with the deformation rule of the body 21, that is, the middle part of the body 21 deforms more than the two ends, and the anti-deformation effect is better.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the second cushion block 5 can be arranged along the longitudinal center line of the chassis 1, and the second pressing device 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second cushion block 5. In this embodiment, according to the transverse deformation rule of the body 21, the second cushion block 5 is arranged in the middle of the body 21 to support the middle part of the body 21, so as to inhibit the middle part of the body 21 from deforming concave, and the second pressing device 3 is arranged on both sides of the body 21 to press the two sides of the body 21, so as to inhibit the two sides of the body 21 from deforming convex.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first cushion block 6 can be arranged along the longitudinal center line of the chassis 1, and the first cushion block 6 is fixed on the second cushion block 5. In this embodiment, the first cushion block 6 is arranged along the longitudinal center line of the body 21 to support the bottom of the body 21, so that the force of the first cushion block 6 on the body 21 is more uniform and symmetrical in the transverse direction, and the anti-deformation effect is better. The first cushion block 6 can be directly placed on the second cushion block 5 or fixed on the second cushion block 5, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the first cushion block 6. After adjustment according to needs, the deformation of the body 21 at different positions can be inhibited in different degrees.

[0041] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first pressing device 2 can include at least two bases 14 fixed on opposite sides of the chassis 1 in the length direction, and a pressing rod 16 arranged on the two bases 14 at both ends. The pressing rod 16 extends in the width direction of the chassis 1. In this embodiment, the base 14 is provided with a groove, and the pressing rod 16 is placed in the groove. The pressing rod 16 presses the body 21 in the width direction of the body 21, so that the force on the body 21 is more uniform.

[0042] Referring to Figure 4 Further, the first pressing device 2 can further include a first pressing plate 13 mounted on the base 14 by a first screw rod 11. The first pressing plate 13 is located above the pressing rod 16. In this embodiment, the first pressing plate 13 is clamped on the pressing rod 16 to press the body 21, and the first screw rod 11 is screwed in the base 14. When the first nut 12 is tightened, the product can be fixed, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0043] Referring to Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the second pressing device 3 can include a base 20 fixed to the chassis 1, a second pressing plate 17 arranged on the base 20, a second screw rod 18 mounted on the second pressing plate 17, and a lower end of the second screw rod 18 welded to the chassis 1. In this embodiment, the second pressing plate 17 is located on both sides of the chassis 1 and used to press the body 21. A second nut 19 is assembled on the second screw rod 18, and the bottom of the second screw rod 18 is welded to the chassis 1. By tightening the second nut 19, the product can be fixed, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0044] Referring to Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the second pressing plate 17 can be located above the pressing channel steel 4, and the second pressing plate 17 can press the body 21 through the pressing channel steel 4. In this embodiment, the pressing channel steel 4 is spot-welded to the body 21 to prevent edge wave deformation. The second pressing plate 17 presses the body 21 through the pressing channel steel 4 to prevent lateral deformation. Since the pressing channel steel 4 extends along the length direction of the body 21, the pressing force exerted by the second pressing plate 17 on the body 21 is more uniform, and the anti-deformation effect is better.

[0045] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the chassis 1 can include a reference plate 10, a trunnion 7 fixed to the reference plate 10, and a trunnion sleeve 8 fixed to the trunnion 7 by bolts. In this embodiment, the trunnion sleeve 8 is fixed to the trunnion 7 by bolts, the trunnion 7 is directly welded and fixed to a rectangular tube framework 9, the reference plate 10 is directly welded to the rectangular tube framework 9, and the whole is processed by a gantry boring and milling to ensure that the overall flatness is within 1 mm. The reference plate 10 serves as the positioning reference for the whole tooling and is welded and fixed to the chassis 1. The chassis 1 can place the whole device on a large positioner through the trunnion sleeve 8 for overturning.

[0046] During assembly, the second pad 5 is first screwed to the middle position of the chassis 1, and then the first pressing device 2 and the second pressing device 3 are welded and fixed to the chassis 1. The pressing plate is unscrewed by a wrench, the bottom plate of the body is laid on the chassis 1, and the center of the bottom plate coincides with the center of the chassis 1. Then the two longitudinal edges of the bottom plate are pressed by the pressing channel steel 4, and the bottom plate is fixed by the second pressing device 3. After the pre-welding of the thin-walled structure is completed, the pressing channel steel 4 is spot-welded to the bottom plate, the second pressing devices 3 on both sides are loosened, the body 21 is lifted, the first pad 6 is placed in the middle position of the body 21, then the first pressing device 2 is pressed, the bottom plate of the body is pressed against the chassis 1 by the second pressing device 3, and then welding is performed. After welding is completed, the first pressing device 2 and the second pressing device 3 are loosened, the pressing channel steel 4 is connected to the body 21 for tempering and correction, and then the body 21 is polished after the assembly is completed.

[0047] The principle of the thin-wall structural member welding deformation control tool provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0048] According to the deformation law, three first pads 6 are added in the middle of the body for longitudinal bending deformation, and the first pressing device 2 is used to implement reverse deformation; for transverse bending deformation, the second pad 5 is placed on the middle of the chassis 1 during welding, the thickness of the second pad 5 is consistent with the reverse deformation amount, and the second pressing device 3 is used to implement reverse deformation; for the longitudinal edge, because it belongs to a thin-wall structural member, the thin plate edge has poor rigidity and is unconstrained, and after welding, the thin plate edge freely shrinks and deforms to produce wave deformation, so after the pre-welding of the body is completed, the pressing channel steel 4 is spot-welded with the bottom plate to rigidly fix the thin plate edge, the internal stress of the plate generated after being heated during welding is smaller than the rigid constraint force of the channel steel, and the plate will not deform freely, and the internal residual stress of the body can be eliminated when the body is tempered. After the body is welded to other components, the pressing channel steel 4 can be removed, and the body 21 will not produce wave deformation.
