Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] A high-power laser welder is used in a cold-rolling and pickling mill train welder. The laser welder focuses laser to melt the steel plate to form a welding seam, that is, the tail of the front coil and the head of the rear coil of the strip produced by the mill train are welded to realize the full continuous production of the mill train. In order to improve the quality of the laser welding seam, the welding seam after welding needs to be rolled and reinforced. At present, the welding seam reinforcement rolling device is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. Since the rolling gap cannot be automatically adjusted, the rolling effect of different thickness welding seams is not ideal. The thin welding seam is not effectively rolled, and the thick welding seam is excessively rolled, which causes damage to the welding seam. In addition, the high-strength welding seam cannot be effectively rolled due to the limitation of system pressure, which seriously affects the rolling reinforcement effect of the laser welding seam and greatly affects the reliability of the welding production.

[0003] A welding seam rolling machine with the patent application number 202110087331.3 includes a machine table and a positioning support mechanism, a mandrel and a rolling mechanism installed on the machine table. The mandrel passes through the positioning support mechanism, and the rolling mechanism is located above the mandrel. The positioning support mechanism and the rolling mechanism are movably installed on the machine table. The moving direction of the positioning support mechanism is parallel to the length direction of the mandrel. The rolling mechanism is movable in the first direction and the second direction perpendicular to each other. The first direction is parallel to the length direction of the mandrel. The to-be-processed cylinder is supported on the mandrel after being sleeved on the mandrel, and one end surface of the cylinder abuts against the positioning support mechanism. The rolling mechanism moves in the second direction to press the welding seam of the cylinder on the mandrel, and simultaneously moves in the first direction to roll the welding seam. The rolling mechanism does not have the automatic adjustment technology of the rolling gap, and cannot solve the above problems.

[0004] A pipe welding seam rolling machine with the patent application number 201821310101.9 includes a machine frame, a horizontal support shaft, a rolling wheel and a driving mechanism.

The top surface of the horizontal support shaft is provided with a rolling plate. The rolling plate is provided with a limiting component corresponding to the welding lug portions. The limiting component includes at least two elastic lifting columns arranged on both sides of the welding lug portions. The patent technology mainly facilitates the positioning of the pipe to improve the stability of the welding seam rolling. However, it also does not have the automatic adjustment technology of the rolling gap, and cannot control the rolling force by rolling locking. SUMMARY

[0024] The welding strip rolling reinforced weld control system of the present application will be further described as follows:Figures 1-4 As shown, the control system specifically comprises the upper and lower roller assemblies 1, 2, the upper roller lifting mechanism, the lower roller assembly 2 is fixedly arranged, and the upper and lower roller assemblies 1, 2 each comprises a micro-convex arc roller 11, an axle 12, and a roller axle locking plate 13 arranged at both ends. The upper roller lifting mechanism comprises a frame 3, a double-rod roller lifting cylinder 4 arranged on the frame 3, a guide rod 6 connecting the lower piston rod 5 of the double-rod roller lifting cylinder 4 and the lower roller assembly 2, and a roller gap automatic adjusting mechanism arranged on the frame 3, which is different from the prior art and comprises an adjusting motor 8, a transmission gear 9, an adjusting position detection encoder 10, a detection gear 14 arranged in the inner hole of a screw cap 7, the lower section of the inner hole of the screw cap 7 is internally threaded, and the upper section is internally toothed, the upper piston rod 18 of the double-rod roller lifting cylinder 4 is externally threaded and threadedly matched with the screw cap 7, the output end of the adjusting motor 8 is meshed with the internal tooth of the screw cap 7 through the transmission gear 9, and the adjusting position detection encoder 10 is meshed with the internal tooth of the screw cap 7 through the detection gear 14. When the adjusting motor 8 drives the transmission gear 9 to reverse, the screw cap 7 can be driven to axially ascend and descend along the upper piston rod 18 to adjust the limiting height, that is, the roller gap between the upper roller assembly 1 and the lower roller assembly 2 can be adjusted, and at the same time, the transmission of the transmission gear 9 can enable the adjusting position detection encoder 10 to detect the rotation amount of the adjusting cap.

[0025] The control system further comprises a roller locking mechanism arranged on the frame 3, which comprises a pair of support plates 15, a pair of locking cylinders 16 arranged on the support plates 15, a pair of roller locking blocks 17 arranged on the piston rods of the locking cylinders 16, a support clamping block 19 located below the screw cap 7 and sleeved on the upper piston rod 18 of the double-rod roller lifting cylinder 4, the support clamping block 19 is provided with transverse guide holes at both ends, the opposite ends of the two roller locking blocks 17 are provided with semicircular concave arc clamping heads matched with the outer wall of the upper piston rod 18, and the upper piston rod 18 is clamped by the locking cylinders 16 on the same side through the guide holes into the support clamping block 19 and driven. The support clamping block 19 is fixed on the frame 3 through a support 25 and serves as a height limit for the descent of the screw cap 7.

[0026] The upper surfaces of both ends of the support clamping block 19 are further respectively provided with a locking detection emission probe 20 and a locking detection receiving probe 21. Normally, the locking detection receiving probe 21 can receive the radiation signal emitted by the locking detection emission probe 20, and when the screw cap 7 descends to the support clamping block 19, the locking detection receiving probe 21 can block the signal reception.

[0027] The control system further comprises a camera lifting cylinder 22 arranged on one side of the lower roller assembly 2 and a gap detection camera 23 arranged on the upper end piston rod of the cylinder, the gap detection camera 23 is lifted by the camera lifting cylinder 22 to detect the rolling gap between the upper and lower roller assemblies 1 and 2 and obtain the actual gap value.

[0028] The control method of the control system for rolling and strengthening the weld of the welded strip steel is as follows:

[0029] A. According to the thickness data of the welded strip steel provided by the machine set, the driving gear 9 of the motor 8 is adjusted to drive the screw cap 7 to rotate to adjust the limiting position of the screw cap 7 in the axial direction of the upper piston rod 18 of the double-rod rolling and lifting cylinder 4, and the adjusting position detection encoder 10 is used for detection, and when the screw cap 7 is adjusted to the position, the control adjusting motor 8 is stopped rotating;

[0030] B. Before preparing for welding and rolling, the lower piston rod 5 of the double-rod rolling and lifting cylinder 4 is controlled to extend to make the roller assembly press down to the position that the screw cap 7 is pressed against the supporting clamping block 19, and then the rolling locking block 17 is clamped on the upper piston rod 18 from both sides by driving the locking cylinder 16, at this time, the locking detection receiving probe 21 is blocked by the screw cap 7 and loses the receiving signal;

[0031] C. The camera lifting cylinder 22 drives the gap detection camera 23 to extend and detect the rolling gap, and the computer 24 compares the measured value with the set value, if it is within the normal deviation range, the next automatic welding step is carried out, if it is beyond the deviation range, the automatic welding step is interrupted and an alarm is given by the computer control;

[0032] D. When the welding and rolling starts, the welding machine trolley moves to start welding, the upper and lower roller assemblies contact the weld to roll, the rolling force acts on the weld, at the same time, the reaction force pushes the rolling and lifting cylinder piston rod to rise, since the upper piston rod 18 has been clamped, the normal situation can overcome the reaction force, but when the locking cylinder 16 leaks or the rolling weld is abnormally thick, the lower piston rod 5 of the double-rod rolling and lifting cylinder 4 will be lifted by the reaction force, which will cause the upper piston rod 18 and the screw cap 7 to rise together, at this time, the locking detection receiving probe 21 receives the signal, after being amplified by the signal amplifier 27, the automatic welding step is interrupted and an alarm is given by the computer 24 control.

[0033] In summary, the rolling reinforcement weld control system for welded strip steel and the method thereof can realize real-time adjustment of the rolling gap according to the actual thickness of the welded strip, effectively lock the rolling reinforcement gap to ensure the rolling effect of the high-strength steel weld, and completely solve the problem that the original weld reinforcement rolling gap cannot be automatically adjusted, resulting in unsatisfactory rolling effect of different thickness welds, ineffective rolling of thin welds, and excessive rolling of thick welds, which leads to damage to the weld. In addition, the locking can solve the problem that the weld with high strength cannot be effectively rolled due to insufficient driving pressure of the rolling cylinder, effectively improve the quality and stability of the laser welded weld, and improve the operation reliability of the unit.
