Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sample processing methods, and particularly relates to a sheet metal welding device and welding method for welding the longitudinal mounting edge of a split casing. Background Technology

[0002] The existing casing has a semi-ring plate with a longitudinal mounting edge, which is a protrusion on both sides of the semi-ring plate in an integrated manner. The longitudinal mounting edge needs to be welded to the welded part before it is installed on the casing. The existing welding method is to use a support frame to fix the semi-ring plate and complete the welding of the longitudinal mounting edge to the welded part. However, the support frame method cannot adjust the gap between the longitudinal mounting edge and the welded part. Generally, the gap between the welded part and the longitudinal mounting edge after the initial position adjustment is 1mm. With the influence of collisions or slight vibrations during the welding process, and because the opening tension of the longitudinal mounting edge of the non-integral ring plate welding casing is large, the gap between the welded part and the longitudinal mounting edge increases to 2mm. This results in poor flatness of the welded longitudinal mounting edge, out-of-tolerance opening chord length, and low welding efficiency between the longitudinal mounting edge and the welded part.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding device and method for welding the longitudinal mounting edge of a sheet metal split-type casing, at least solving the technical problem of low efficiency in welding the longitudinal mounting edge and welded parts in existing devices.

It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that various aspects of embodiments within the scope of the appended claims are described below. It will be apparent that the aspects described herein can be embodied in a wide variety of forms, and any particular structure and / or function described herein is merely illustrative. Based on this invention, those skilled in the art will understand that one aspect described herein can be implemented independently of any other aspect, and two or more of these aspects can be combined in various ways. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein can be used to implement the device and / or practice the method. Additionally, this device and / or method can be implemented using structures and / or functionalities other than one or more of the aspects set forth herein.

[0022] The sheet metal welding longitudinal mounting device for the split-type casing of the present invention is described in detail below. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this is applicable to welding the longitudinal mounting edge of a semi-ring plate to a weldment 4. It includes a base 1, with supporting semi-rings 2 arranged on both sides of the base 1 along its centerline. The two supporting semi-rings 2 are circumferentially spaced with first clamping components and have first grooves 21 on their opposing sides. The first grooves 21 are used to place the semi-ring plate and limit its axial movement. The first clamping components are used to clamp the semi-ring plate. After the semi-ring plate is placed in the first groove 21, it is flush with the height of the supporting semi-rings 2, ensuring that the first clamping components clamp the semi-ring plate and preventing displacement during welding.

[0023] Weight reduction holes 11 are provided at intervals on the base 1 and between the two supporting semi-rings 2. Generally, the base 1 is installed on the bracket and welded. The appropriate welding height facilitates the welding of the operator. The weight reduction holes 11 can reduce the weight of the base 1 and make it easier to place the base 1 on the bracket.

[0024] The base 1 has hidden patterns on both sides of the supporting semi-ring 2, along the center line of the base 1. The hidden patterns are used for the initial positioning of the mating parts. For example, the hidden patterns with white lines are convenient for initial positioning.

[0025] A second groove 12 is provided on the base 1 and near the weight reduction hole 11. The second groove 12 is used to install the adjustable expansion block 51 assembly. The adjustable expansion block 51 assembly is used to adjust the gap between the longitudinal mounting edge and the weldment 4 before welding. During the welding process, the semi-ring plate is prone to high-temperature deformation. When a large gap occurs during welding, the gap between the longitudinal mounting edge and the weldment 4 is adjusted by the adjustable expansion block 51 assembly until a seamless state is reached before welding, thereby ensuring the quality of welding, avoiding welding deformation, and improving welding efficiency.

[0026] A first limiting component is installed on the side of the base 1, near the dark pattern facing away from the weight reduction hole 11. The first limiting component is used to limit the weldment 4 in the centerline direction of the base 1 during welding. The first limiting component, for example, the use of a rectangular block, resists the side of the weldment 4, preventing the weldment 4 from moving during the welding process and in the centerline direction of the base 1.

[0027] On the base 1 and near the welded part 4, two second limiting components are respectively provided on its two sides in the centerline direction. The second limiting components limit the movement of the welded part 4 in the centerline direction during welding, thus preventing the welded part 4 from moving in the centerline direction during the welding process.

[0028] As a specific implementation provided in this case, the supporting semi-ring is provided with two circumferentially spaced first holes with internal threads (not shown in the figure). The first clamping assembly includes a first pressure plate 31 and a first bolt 32 with a lock head. The first pressure plate 31 has a first rectangular hole (not shown in the figure) for installing the first bolt 32. The size of the lock head is larger than the size of the first rectangular hole.

[0029] After the supporting half-ring 2 is installed in the first groove 21, the first bolt 32 is rotated to cause the lock head to press against the first pressure plate 31, thus completing the pressing of the first pressure plate 31 against the half-ring plate.

[0030] As a specific embodiment provided in this case, the welded part 4 is a rectangular structure, and its length is adapted to the length of the longitudinal mounting edge on the semi-circular plate. The adjustable expansion block 51 assembly includes an adjustable expansion block 51, a nut 52, and a screw 53. The length of the adjustable expansion block 51 is adapted to the length of the second groove 12, wherein:

[0031] Nut 52 is installed at the edge of the second groove 12 near the adjacent side, and one end of screw 53 passes through nut 52 and is connected to adjustable expansion block 51;

[0032] After assembling the semi-ring plate and the welded part 4, rotate the screw 53 to make the longitudinal mounting edge seamlessly connect with the welded part 4.

[0033] As a specific implementation provided in this case, the first limiting component includes a first limiting block 61 and a second bolt 62 with a locking head. The base 1 has a second hole with internal threads at a preset position, wherein:

[0034] After the first limiting block 61 comes into close contact with one side of the mating part, the second bolt 62 is rotated and inserted into the second hole, causing the lock head to press against the limiting block to complete the limiting of the welding line by the first limiting block 61.

[0035] As a specific implementation method provided in this case, see Figure 4 As shown, a third groove 611 is provided on the side of the first limiting block 61 that contacts the welded part 4, and a second rectangular hole is provided in the central area of ​​the first limiting block 61. The second rectangular hole is used to assemble the second bolt 62, wherein:

[0036] The third groove 611 causes the first limiting block 61 to form an extended section. The extended section is in close contact with the top surface of the welded part 4. When the second bolt 62 is rotated to fix the first limiting block 61, the extended section provides universal positioning for the first limiting block 61.

[0037] Multiple pin holes 8 are provided on the base 1 along the center line of the welded part 4, and the welded part 4 is limited by the insertion of the pins.

[0038] As a specific embodiment provided in this case, an adjustment component is provided on the base 1 at the dark pattern position. The adjustment component is used to adjust the height of the welded part 4 in the vertical direction. The adjustment component includes, for example, a support plate 9 and a screw 10. The support plate 9 is placed on the dark pattern, and one end of the screw 10 passes through the base 1 (in a threaded manner) and is connected to the support plate 9. By rotating the screw 10, the height of the welded part 4 in the vertical direction can be adjusted.

[0039] Secondly, a welding method is provided, applicable to welding the longitudinal mounting edge of a semi-ring plate to the welding component 4. This method includes: using some or all of the aforementioned devices, specifically:

[0040] The semi-ring plate is arranged in the first groove 21. The first pressing component that supports the top of the semi-ring 2 presses the semi-ring plate, and then the first pressing components from the top of the semi-ring 2 to both sides press the semi-ring plate in sequence.

[0041] After assembling welded part 4, adjust the adjustable expansion block 51 assembly to adjust the gap between welded part 4 and the longitudinal mounting edge. The adjustable expansion block 51 assembly enables adjustment of the welding misalignment during the assembly and welding of the semi-ring sheet metal part and the longitudinal mounting edge to meet the requirement that the welding misalignment should not exceed 0.5mm.

[0042] The longitudinal mounting edge and the welding part 4 are welded by spot welding. The welding positions on both sides of the welding part 4 are continuously spot welded. After the spot welding is completed, the welding part 4 is welded from the spot welding position at the center point to both sides.

[0043] Welding sequence and stress analysis of longitudinal installation edges as follows Figure 3 As shown, the welding sequence for longitudinal mounting edges A1 and A2 starts from the middle of the mounting edges, proceeding according to welding sequences 1 and 2, and welding sequences 3 and 4 respectively. When welding in this sequence, the later welds are subjected to tensile stress from the earlier welds, in the opposite direction to the welding direction. Longitudinal mounting edge 1 is subjected to tensile heat forces f5 and f7 in the opposite direction, and longitudinal mounting edge A2 is subjected to tensile heat forces f6 and f8 in the opposite direction, preventing twisting or deformation of the longitudinal mounting edges after welding. The flatness of parts processed using this welding sequence is reduced from 3.2mm to 0.4mm, achieving a first-pass yield of 90%. With a small amount of auxiliary fitter correction, the process requirements are met.

[0044] This method effectively solves the problem of deformation of the longitudinal mounting edge, realizes three-dimensional spatial positioning full-surface support and clamping, optimizes and determines a reasonable welding sequence, controls the deformation of welded longitudinal mounting edge parts, improves the stability of the parts processing, increases the part qualification rate and processing efficiency, and greatly reduces production costs.

[0045] The product provided by this invention has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this invention. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the core ideas of this invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the invention without departing from the principles of the invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the invention claims.
