DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Figs. 1 to 4 A pre-welding preheating device with movable heat source is shown, which comprises a workpiece clamping mechanism 1, a heating mechanism 2, an offline programming system and a central control system; the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 is used for clamping a to-be-welded workpiece 3; the offline programming system is preset with the coordinates of the to-be-welded point 33 of the workpiece 3; the heating mechanism 2 is provided with movable heat source, which is moved to the to-be-welded point 33 of the workpiece 3 for preheating under the control of the central control system. In this structure, the position of the to-be-welded point 33 and the preheating time are preset in the offline programming system, so that the heating mechanism 2 moves to the preheating position according to the signal to preheat the to-be-welded point 33; the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 plays a fixing role for the main body of the workpiece 3, which is convenient for positioning and tracking the to-be-welded point 33 by the heating mechanism 2, so as to realize automatic preheating, improve preheating efficiency and improve welding quality.

[0029] In this embodiment, the workpiece 3 comprises a main piece 31 and an accessory 32, and the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 comprises a jacking cylinder 11, a pressing cylinder 12 and a workpiece clamping servo motor 13; the servo motor horizontally adjusts the cylinder push rod of the jacking cylinder 11 and the pressing cylinder 12 for fixing and clamping the main piece 31. In this structure, the jacking cylinder 11 clamps the workpiece 3 from the horizontal direction, the pressing cylinder 12 clamps the main piece 31 from the vertical direction, and the accessory 32 can be fixed by a grabbing robot or other methods.

[0030] In the embodiment, the heat source is the heating coil 21 which heats the to-be-welded point 33 through electromagnetic induction; the heating coil 21 is controlled to displace by the heating servo walking mechanism 22 to heat the to-be-welded point 33. In the structure, the heating coil 21 is used to preheat the to-be-welded point 33 through electromagnetic induction, which is more efficient, safe and environmentally friendly than open flame heating. The heating servo walking mechanism 22 receives the preset signal of the offline programming system to control the displacement and heating time of the heating coil 21, so that the heating mechanism 2 preheats the to-be-welded point 33 at different positions to achieve the required preheating temperature.

[0031] In the embodiment, the offline programming system is preset with a standard temperature for preheating before welding, and the heating mechanism 2 further comprises a temperature sensor 23 which is signal-connected with the offline programming system and is used to judge whether the temperature of the to-be-welded point 33 meets the standard. In the structure, the temperature sensor 23 is arranged to monitor whether the preheating position reaches the preset temperature, and if not, the offline programming system transmits a signal to the heating servo walking mechanism 22 to prolong the preheating time, so as to accurately control the preheating temperature and ensure the subsequent welding quality.

[0032] In the embodiment, when the workpiece clamping mechanism 1 completes clamping of the main workpiece 31, the heating coil 21 is located below the main workpiece 31. Through the structure, after the heating mechanism 2 completes preheating of the preheating position, the workpiece 3 can be welded in time above the workpiece 3 by a robot or manually, which plays a role of mutual cooperation and non-interference between preheating and welding, thereby saving adjustment time and improving welding efficiency.

[0033] In the embodiment, the heating coil 21 is provided with a temperature measuring hole 24, and the temperature sensor 23 is fixed directly below the temperature measuring hole 24 to facilitate direct measurement of the surface temperature of the workpiece through the temperature measuring hole 24. Through the structure, the temperature sensor 23 can directly measure the real-time temperature of the workpiece surface, avoiding the influence of the heating coil 21 on the measurement value.

[0034] In the embodiment, the servo walking mechanism can control the horizontal transverse movement of the heating coil 21. In the structure, the induction coil is slidingly connected to a crossbar mechanism, and the servo walking mechanism can control the transverse displacement of the induction coil. The width of the induction coil should be greater than the width of the workpiece 3 to ensure that the to-be-welded point 33 of the workpiece 3 can be preheated. The structure is simple and has good stability.

[0035] Method embodiment:

[0036] A pre-welding preheating welding method is performed by the movable pre-welding preheating device of the device embodiment, comprising the following steps:

[0037] S1, offline programming: according to the to-be-welded point 33 of the workpiece 3, the preheating point of the heating mechanism 2 is set, and the preheating standard temperature is set;

[0038] S2, clamping the workpiece 3: clamp the main piece 31, and then clamp the accessory 32 according to the preset sequence one by one;

[0039] S3, running the preheating program and welding: according to the program, the heating coil 21 is moved to the first to-be-welded point 33 below, and the coil is positioned and heated; after the preheating of the first to-be-welded point 33 is completed, the accessory 32 is welded from above the main piece 31, and the coil is moved to the next to-be-welded point 33 below to preheat, and the preheating and welding process is repeated until all.

[0040] In step S3, whether the temperature of the preheating position reaches the preset preheating temperature value is judged by the temperature sensor 23, so as to accurately control the preheating temperature. The welding step can adopt robot automatic welding, so as to realize automatic welding and improve welding efficiency; or manual welding can be performed to improve the application scene and reduce the equipment cost. Through automatic preheating below, timely welding above, the workpiece 3 need not be frequently transported or manually adjusted, so as to realize efficient and reliable welding.

[0041] Although the present application has been disclosed with the preferred embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any skilled person in the art can make many possible changes and modifications to the technical solutions of the present application, or modify equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present application, without departing from the content of the technical solutions of the present application, shall fall within the scope of protection of the technical solutions of the present application.
