Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding equipment technology, specifically to an automatic welding equipment for circumferential welds of steel pipe towers. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of steel structures in construction, bridges, and other fields, the reliability and safety requirements for steel pipe towers are becoming increasingly stringent. A steel pipe tower is composed of multiple steel pipes that need to be connected, and these connection points require welding. Traditionally, this welding work is usually done manually, but this method has many problems, such as difficulty in guaranteeing weld quality, low production efficiency, and high difficulty for operators.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN2015209834028, which discloses a steel pipe tower elevation angle plane flange displacement welding device, including a flange displacement jig device and an adjustable submerged arc welding machine placement platform spaced apart on a steel foundation platform. An adjustable roller frame is provided on the steel foundation platform between the flange displacement jig device and the adjustable submerged arc welding machine placement platform. The adjustable submerged arc welding machine placement platform and the adjustable roller frame are respectively movably installed on serrated guide rails on both sides of the steel foundation platform. A submerged arc welding machine is placed on the adjustable submerged arc welding machine placement platform.

[0004] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned device are as follows: the structure is reasonably designed, the angle of the welding part between the steel pipe and the flat flange can be adjusted, and the welding torch of the submerged arc welding machine can be adjusted according to the needs of the rotation trajectory of the welding part, realizing semi-automatic welding, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and effectively ensuring the welding quality.

[0005] However, in practical applications, existing steel pipe tower welding equipment cannot perform simultaneous welding operations due to the presence of internal and external double weld seams in the steel pipe tower. Furthermore, since the weld seam of the steel pipe tower is circumferential, the steel pipe tower needs to be adjusted to achieve complete and continuous weld seam welding, resulting in low work efficiency. Moreover, the welding position is prone to change during the movement of the steel pipe tower, leading to poor welding results.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please see Figure 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0035] An automatic welding device for circumferential welds of steel pipe towers includes a welding table 1 with two sets of support platforms 2 mounted on its surface. An external weld welding mechanism 3 is installed between the two sets of support platforms 2. When the steel pipe tower is placed between the two sets of support platforms 2, the weld seams of the two sets of steel pipe towers to be welded are aligned between the two sets of support platforms 2. The external weld welding mechanism 3 can then weld the weld seams of the two sets of steel pipe towers. During the welding process, the welding path of the external weld welding mechanism 3 is circular, thus enabling the external weld welding mechanism 3 to perform complete welding of the weld seams of the two sets of steel pipe towers.

[0036] Both sides of the welding table 1 are connected to steel pipe tower fixing mechanisms 4. The two sets of steel pipe tower fixing mechanisms 4 can fix the two sets of steel pipe towers and further control the translation of the two sets of steel pipe towers so that the weld seam of the two sets of steel pipe towers is located between the two sets of support platforms 2. This further facilitates the welding of the weld seam by the external weld seam welding mechanism 3. In addition, the two sets of steel pipe tower fixing mechanisms 4 can fix steel pipe towers of different radii, improving the applicability of this device.

[0037] The external weld welding mechanism 3 includes an installation ring frame A301 connected between two sets of support platforms 2. A rotating ring A302 is installed inside the installation ring frame A301, and a welding head A303 is installed on the rotating ring A302. The two sets of steel pipe towers to be welded are inserted into the installation ring frame A301 through the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4. The external welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers can be welded by the operation of the welding head A303. The rotating ring A302 can rotate on the installation ring frame A301, further controlling the circumferential movement of the welding head A303 on the installation ring frame A301, thereby realizing the complete circumferential welding path of the welding head A303, and further completing the welding of the external welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers.

[0038] The mounting ring frame A301 has an internal annular groove A304, into which a rotating ring A302 is inserted. The annular groove A304 limits the rotation of the rotating ring A302, allowing it to rotate stably within the groove. This further controls the welding head A303 to smoothly weld the external seam of the steel pipe tower. The surface of the rotating ring A302 has serrations A305, which are inserted into the annular groove A304. Simultaneously, the surface of the mounting ring frame A301 has a connecting groove A306 that communicates with the annular groove A304. A mounting plate A307 is connected to the surface of the mounting ring frame A301, and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate A307. There is a motor B308, and a drive gear A309 is connected to the output shaft of the motor B308. The drive gear A309 is inserted into the connecting groove A306 and passes through the connecting groove A306 to be inserted into the annular groove A304. The drive gear A309 and the tooth pattern A305 are meshed. When the motor B308 is turned on, it drives the drive gear A309 to rotate, further meshing with the tooth pattern A305 to connect the rotating ring A302 to rotate in the mounting ring frame A301, realizing the rolling of the rotating ring A302 on the mounting ring frame A301, further controlling the circumferential movement of the welding head A303 on the mounting ring frame A301, realizing a circular welding path.

[0039] The surface of the rotating ring A302 is provided with a damping groove 310, and two sets of symmetrical damping sliders 311 are inserted into the damping groove 310. The cross-section of both the damping groove 310 and the damping sliders 311 is set as "T" shaped. Therefore, the damping sliders 311 will not fall off when they slide in the damping groove 310. At the same time, the damping sliders 311 have a damping effect when sliding in the damping groove 310. Therefore, after the damping sliders 311 slide to the designated position in the damping groove 310, their position will not be offset due to the shaking of the device.

[0040] A connecting rod 313 is hinged to the damping groove 310 via a damping shaft A312. The other end of the connecting rod 313 is connected to a damping shaft B314. The damping shaft B314 is hinged to a protrusion 316 on the surface of the fixed platform A315. Therefore, when the two sets of damping sliders 311 slide and change the distance in the damping groove 310, they will control the two sets of connecting rods 313 to rotate and adjust the position of the fixed platform A315. This controls the fixed platform A315 to slide linearly relative to the center of the rotating ring A302. The welding head A303 is installed on the fixed platform A315, further controlling the position of the welding head A303 relative to the center of the rotating ring A302. When the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 inserts steel pipe towers of different models into the installation ring frame A301, the position of the fixed platform A315 is adjusted so that the welding head A303 can maintain the welding effect on the outer weld of the steel pipe tower, thereby achieving a complete and continuous welding operation. This is suitable for steel pipe towers of different radii.

[0041] The steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 includes a base 401 connected to one side of the welding table 1. The surface of the base 401 is provided with two sets of parallel limiting slide rails 402. The surfaces of the two sets of limiting slide rails 402 are equipped with matching slide tables 403. At the same time, the surfaces of the slide tables 403 are equipped with two sets of symmetrically distributed support plates 404. The two sets of support plates 404 are distributed in a "V" shape. Therefore, steel pipe towers of different radii can be placed on the slide tables 403 for fixing. The two sets of support plates 404 provide stable support for the steel pipe towers. The two sets of support plates 404 can rotate on the slide tables 403 to further adjust the support angle of the two sets of support plates 404 for steel pipe towers of different radii. This allows steel pipe towers of different radii to be placed on the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4. The steel pipe towers and the mounting ring frame A301 can be controlled to be distributed in concentric circles, which facilitates welding by the external weld welding mechanism 3.

[0042] Simultaneously, a limiting plate 405 is connected to the surface of the support plate 404, and a motor C406 is connected to the surface of the support plate 404. The output shaft of the motor C406 is connected to the limiting plate 405 for transmission. The motor C406 is opened to control the limiting plate 405 to rotate on the support plate 404. Different angles are formed between the support plate 404 and the limiting plate 405 to further reinforce and fix steel pipe towers of different radii, ensuring the stable installation of the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 on the steel pipe tower. This prevents the steel pipe tower from shaking and shifting during transportation, which could lead to inaccurate welding of the external weld seam by the external weld seam welding mechanism 3. At the same time, motors C406 are hinged to both sets of support plates 404 and are independently controlled by the two sets of motors C406, further improving the stability of the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 in supporting the steel pipe tower.

[0043] A fixing plate 407 is connected to the end of the base 401 away from the welding table 1. A lead screw A408 and a limiting slide rail 402 are inserted into the fixing plate 407 and are distributed in parallel. A slide table 403 is installed on the lead screw A408 in a matching manner. At the same time, a motor D409 is installed on the surface of the fixing plate 407. The output shaft of the motor D409 is connected to the lead screw A408. When the motor D409 is turned on, it drives the lead screw A408 to rotate in the slide table 403, further controlling the slide table 403 to slide linearly on the surface of the limiting slide rail 402, changing the distance between the slide table 403 and the welding table 1, and controlling the displacement of the steel pipe tower supported on the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4.

[0044] Both sides of the welding table 1 are equipped with steel pipe tower fixing mechanisms 4. By operating the two sets of steel pipe tower fixing mechanisms 4, the two sets of steel pipe towers can be controlled to move horizontally, and further move the outer weld between the two sets of steel pipe towers to the outer weld welding mechanism 3, thereby controlling the outer weld welding mechanism 3 to accurately weld the outer weld of the two sets of steel pipe towers.

[0045] The surface of the support platform 2 is provided with a sliding groove 201. The inner weld welding mechanism 5 includes a rack 501 inserted into the sliding groove 201. At the same time, a motor A203 is connected to the surface of the support platform 2. A control gear 204 is connected to the output shaft of the motor A203. The control gear 204 and the rack 501 are meshed. When the motor A203 is turned on, it drives the control gear 204 to rotate, further meshing the rack 501 to slide in the sliding groove 201. This can control the sliding of the inner weld welding mechanism 5 on the support platform 2 and change the relative position of the inner weld welding mechanism 5. Limit grooves are provided on both sides of the rack 501, and a limit strip 202 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 201. The limit strip 202 is adapted to the limit grooves provided on the surface of the rack 501. Therefore, the rack 501 is limited and supported by the limit strip 202, which can ensure the smoothness and stability of the rack 501 sliding in the sliding groove 201.

[0046] One end of the rack 501 is connected to the mounting ring frame B506. Inside the mounting ring frame B506, a rotating ring B507 is installed. A welding head B508 is installed on the rotating ring B507. The welding head B508 is inserted into the steel pipe tower fixed on the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4. At the same time, the rotating ring B507 can rotate on the mounting ring frame B506, further controlling the circumferential movement of the welding head B508 on the mounting ring frame B506. This allows the welding head B508 to weld the inner welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers.

[0047] The inner surface of the mounting ring frame B506 has an annular groove B509, and the surface of the rotating ring B507 has teeth B510, which are inserted into the annular groove B509. The surface of the mounting ring frame B506 also has a connecting groove B514 that communicates with the annular groove B509. A mounting plate B511 is connected to the surface of the mounting ring frame B506, and a motor F512 is connected to the mounting plate B511. A drive gear B is connected to the output shaft of the motor F512. 513 is inserted into the connecting slot B514, and the drive gear B513 passes through the connecting slot B514 and is inserted into the annular groove B509. The drive gear B513 and the toothed B510 are meshed and connected. When the motor F512 is turned on, it drives the drive gear B513 to rotate. Furthermore, the drive gear B513 meshes with the toothed B510 to drive the rotating ring B507 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the welding head B508 installed on the rotating ring B507 to weld the inner weld of the steel pipe tower.

[0048] A fixed frame 515 is connected to the surface of the rotating ring B507. Mounting seats 516 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 515, and parallel lead screws B517 and limiting rods 518 are inserted between the two sets of mounting seats 516. A motor G519 is connected to the surface of the mounting seat 516. The output shaft of the motor G519 is connected to the lead screw B517. Matching movable slides 520 are mounted on the surfaces of the lead screw B517 and the limiting rod 518. When the motor G519 drives the lead screw B517... When 17 rotates, it controls the movable slide 520 to slide linearly on the surface of the lead screw B517 and the limit rod 518. At the same time, a damping rod 521 is inserted inside the movable slide 520. One end of the damping rod 521 is connected to the fixed platform B522. The welding head B508 is installed on the fixed platform B522. Therefore, by sliding the damping rod 521 inside the movable slide 520, the extension length of the fixed platform B522 can be changed, thereby adjusting the distance between the welding head B508 and the mounting ring B506.

[0049] When the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 operates on the steel pipe tower, the motor A203 first drives the control gear 204 to rotate, controlling the rack 501 to push the mounting ring B506 away from the welding table 1 until the distance between the inner weld welding mechanism 5 and the welding table 1 is greater than the length of the steel pipe tower. At this time, the steel pipe tower is fixed by the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4. After fixing, the two sets of steel pipe towers are controlled to move horizontally so that the two sets of steel pipe towers are just inserted between the outer weld welding mechanism 3. The outer weld welding mechanism 3 can align and weld the outer welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers. Then, the damping rod 521 is pulled and slids within the movable slide table 520 until the fixed table B522 aligns with the outer weld. The positions of the inner welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers are aligned so that the welding head B508 can weld the inner welds of the two sets of steel pipe towers. The damping rod 521 slides within the movable slide 520 to provide damping. After the damping rod 521 is pulled out to a certain length within the movable slide 520, it will be fixed and will not cause the position of the fixed platform B522 to shift. Furthermore, by driving the movable slide 520 to slide on the fixed frame 515 through the motor G519, the center position of the fixed platform B522 relative to the mounting ring frame B506 can be changed, further adjusting the distance between the welding head B508 and the inner welds of the steel pipe towers, and controlling the welding head B508 to weld the inner welds of the steel pipe towers.

[0050] Furthermore, the surface of the fixing frame 515 is provided with a movable groove 523 for the damping rod 521 to pass through, which facilitates the position adjustment of the fixing platform B522;

[0051] Furthermore, after the steel pipe tower fixing mechanism 4 fixes the steel pipe tower, the outer weld welding mechanism 3, the inner weld welding mechanism 5, and the steel pipe tower are all arranged in concentric circles. Therefore, when the rotating ring B507 rotates within the installation ring frame B506, it can control the welding head B508 to perform complete path welding on the inner weld of the steel pipe tower, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, by aligning the inner weld seam of the steel pipe tower with welding head B508, and simultaneously aligning the outer weld seam of the steel pipe tower with welding head A303, and by staggering welding heads B508 and A303, it is possible to control the synchronous operation of the outer weld seam welding mechanism 3 and the inner weld seam welding mechanism 5, thereby simultaneously performing incorrect welding on the inner and outer weld seams of the steel pipe tower, improving welding efficiency, and avoiding the difficulty of simultaneously welding the inner ring weld seam at the same position.

[0053] One end of the rack 501 is connected to a fixing block 502, which is U-shaped. A rotating plate 503 is hinged inside the fixing block 502. A motor E504 is connected to the surface of the fixing block 502. The output shaft of the motor E504 is connected to the rotating plate 503. Therefore, when the motor E504 is turned on, it drives the rotating plate 503 to rotate. The mounting ring frame B506 is connected between the two sets of rotating plates 503. The angle of the mounting ring frame B506 can be further adjusted. Since some steel pipe towers are frustoconical, the welding head B508 is tilted so that the welding head B508 can weld the steel pipe tower from different angles, improving the adaptability of the device. An angle sensor 505 is connected to the surface of the rotating plate 503, which can control the tilt angle of the mounting ring frame B506 and facilitate the setting of the tilt angle of the welding head B508.

[0054] Furthermore, when this device welds the inner ring weld of the steel pipe tower through the outer weld welding mechanism 3 and the inner weld welding mechanism 5, a complete circular welding path is achieved through the circumferential movement of the outer weld welding mechanism 3 and the inner weld welding mechanism 5. There is no need to move the fixed steel pipe tower, which avoids the displacement of the weld and the resulting difference in welding position. At the same time, it avoids the movement of the steel pipe tower, which could cause damage to the welded part and improve the integrity of the weld.
