Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bridge manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for assembling and welding a Q690qD high-strength steel beam member multi-box chamber structure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of bridge construction in recent years, the pursuit of lighter steel bridges and longer spans has also driven the development of high-performance steel materials. The use of 690MPa-yield strength steel in steel bridges has increased annually. The upper chord of the Macau-Taipa Fourth Bridge project features a three-chamber box-type structure. The compression zones at both ends of the upper chord are made of Q690qD steel. The maximum outer dimensions of a single upper chord are 3.2m × 3.6m × 15m, and the total steel consumption is approximately 1,100 tons.

[0003] The upper chord is a large and complex component. The overall weld deformation is difficult to control, and the residual stress is high, which affects the dimensional accuracy of the upper chord. The weld deformation of the upper chord needs to be corrected using flame straightening. However, due to the special rolling process of Q690qD steel, which uses TMCP (Thermo-Mechanical Control Process) plus tempering, the use of higher flame straightening temperatures will cause varying degrees of decline in mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation. Therefore, the flame straightening temperature of Q690qD steel is strictly controlled during the upper chord production process, requiring it to not exceed 600°C. This requires multiple low-temperature straightening operations, which greatly increases the flame straightening workload and cycle time, reducing production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0035] S22: Then, weld the welds between the side diaphragm units and the side web units, the middle web units, the welds between the middle diaphragm units and the middle web units, the welds between the inner web units, and the welds between the inner diaphragm units and the inner web units in sequence, with the welding direction from bottom to top;

[0036] S23: Finally, the welds between the side partition plate unit, the middle partition plate unit, and the inner partition plate unit and the top plate unit are welded in sequence, and the welding order of the welds between the side partition plate unit, the middle partition plate unit, and the inner partition plate unit and the top plate unit is carried out from the middle to the two ends.

[0037] S3: Position and assemble the inclined bottom plate unit to the middle partition plate unit and the top of the inner partition plate unit, and position and assemble the flat bottom plate unit to the top of the side partition plate unit to form a multi-chamber component. The assembly result is as follows: Figure 8 After the positioning and assembly are completed and tested, the multi-chamber component is turned rightward 180 degrees to Figure 9 The top plate unit is fixed on the tire frame with the top plate facing upwards, and then CO2 gas shielded welding is performed according to the following welding sequence; wherein, the flux-cored wire model is JQ.YJ761N4M2-1, with a diameter of 1.2mm; specifically,

[0041] Among them, the inclined bottom plate unit is welded by a combined welding method of argon-rich gas shielded welding + submerged arc welding, and the first inclined bottom plate unit and the second inclined bottom plate unit are welded into an inclined bottom plate unit in advance, which facilitates the control and correction of welding deformation, thereby reducing the construction difficulty and lowering the heating temperature of flame correction.

[0042] S4: After S3 welding is completed, the multi-chamber component formed by S3 is turned 180° to the left. Figure 10 The position shown is to place the top plate unit downward on the tire frame, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent welding and facilitating welding operations. After the multi-chamber components are turned over, submerged arc automatic welding is used for welding in the following welding sequence. The submerged arc automatic welding can improve welding efficiency and ensure beautiful weld formation; specifically,

[0043] S41: First, weld the outer welds between the flat bottom plate unit and the side web unit and the middle web unit; the welding direction is from area E to area A;

After the flipping is completed, the side diaphragm unit, the butt plate unit and the stiffener plate are positioned and assembled between the side web unit and the node plate extending from the middle web unit. The assembly result is shown in the figure. Figure 11 and Figure 3 shown.

[0050] S7: S6 welding is completed and the welds are corrected. The overall dimensions of the components and the welding quality are checked. After passing the inspection, the assembly welding of the Q690qD high-strength bridge steel multi-box structure is completed.

[0051] From the above overall content, it can be seen that the welding directions of the welds between the middle web unit, the side web unit and the inner web unit and the top plate unit, the welds inside the box between the flat bottom plate unit and the side web unit, the middle web unit, the welds inside the box between the inclined bottom plate unit and the middle web unit, the welds between the inclined bottom plate unit and the inner web unit, the welds outside the box between the flat bottom plate unit and the side web unit, the middle web unit, and the welds outside the box between the inclined bottom plate unit and the middle web unit are all the same, which can avoid the overall distortion of the component during welding, thereby reducing the welding deformation of the component and reducing the difficulty of flame correction.

[0052] Practice has proved that this welding method of the present invention, in the process of manufacturing the box-type members of the upper chord of the steel truss of the Macau-Taipa Fourth Bridge, decomposes the overall assembly and welding process into step-by-step assembly and welding by setting a reasonable assembly sequence and welding sequence. The welding stress generated by the multi-box structure of the steel beam members during the welding process can be released in stages through the step-by-step assembly and welding, which can effectively control the welding deformation of the steel beam members, reduce the heating temperature and working difficulty of flame correction welding deformation, reduce the influence of flame correction on the performance of Q690qD steel itself, ensure the dimensional accuracy and performance requirements of the steel beam members, fully meet the welding quality requirements of the project, and have extremely high practical and promotion value. It can play a good reference role in the subsequent manufacturing process of similar steel truss multi-box structures.

[0053] The above is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention should not be considered to be limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
