DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 8 , a welding device for a monopile wind turbine foundation, used for welding two rectangular steel columns 100, the welding device for a monopile wind turbine foundation comprises a base 200, and a welding mechanism 300 and a surrounding mechanism 500 are arranged on the base 200;

[0045] The welding mechanism 300 includes a housing 310, on which a welding gun 320 and a storage box 340 are slidably arranged. The welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 are distributed along a rectangular gap 110 formed by splicing two rectangular steel columns 100. The storage box 340 is provided with a solenoid valve 350 and a flux box 360, and the end of the welding gun 320 is located in the flux box 360.

[0046] The welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 are driven to move along the rectangular gap 110 by the surrounding mechanism 500. During the moving process, the storage box 340 is located at the front side of the moving direction. The flux is filled into the flux box 360 through the storage box 340, and the welding gun 320 performs welding.

[0047] The welding mechanism 300 further includes a wire feeding assembly 330, which includes a winding drum 331 rotatably disposed on the housing 310, a welding wire 332 wound on the winding drum 331, and the welding wire 332 is slidably connected to the welding gun 320;

[0048] The wire feeding assembly 330 further includes two rotating shafts 333 rotatably disposed in the housing 310 , and wire feeding wheels 334 are disposed on the two rotating shafts 333 , and the welding wire 332 passes between the two wire feeding wheels 334 ;

[0049] A first motor 335 is further disposed in the housing 310 , and an output shaft of the first motor 335 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 333 , and first gears 336 are disposed on both rotating shafts 333 , and the two first gears 336 are meshed;

[0050] The two wire feeding wheels 334 are driven to rotate in opposite directions by the first motor 335, so as to feed the welding wire 332 toward the end of the welding gun 320;

[0051] An air pump 370 is also provided on the storage box 340 , a control box 380 is provided on the housing 310 , and two wires 390 are provided on the control box 380 , one of the wires 390 is connected to the welding gun 320 , and the other wire 390 is connected to one of the rectangular steel columns 100 .

[0052] In this embodiment: Submerged arc welding is usually only applicable to the welding of horizontal welds, so it is necessary to use welding equipment as a site, adjust the two sections of rectangular steel columns 100 to be welded on the welding equipment, and adjust the four sides of the rectangular weld to the horizontal position in turn for welding. If it is necessary to weld the two sections of rectangular steel columns 100 in the foundation steel structure of a large semi-formed single pile wind turbine, it cannot be achieved by relying on existing submerged arc welding equipment.

[0053] Therefore, the base 200 is used as the base of the welding equipment, and the two ends of the base 200 are respectively connected to the two sections of rectangular steel columns 100 through two positioning mechanisms 400 for basic fixation. Then the welding mechanism 300 moves clockwise along the rectangular track of the rectangular gap 110 for welding.

[0054] During welding, the storage box 340 is located at the front side of the traveling direction. Considering that the storage box 340 will rotate to a horizontal and inverted position, it is not suitable to rely on gravity alone to send the flux in the storage box 340. Instead, a miniature air pump 370 is installed on the storage box 340. The air pump 370 is used to pneumatically transport the flux powder into the flux box 360. The types of flux and welding wire 332 are selected according to the rectangular steel column 100.

[0055] The flux box 360 moves with the storage box 340. The flux box 360 is in the shape of a rectangular box with no cover on the bottom. It can keep in contact with the surface of the rectangular steel column 100 during the movement. A small amount of flux will leak at the right-angle transition, but it will not affect the overall welding process. There is a gap between the flux box 360 and the welding gun 320. The welding gun 320 can also be connected to the flux box 360 through a bellows, thereby reducing the flux from flowing out of the gap between the flux box 360 and the welding gun 320.

[0056] At the same time, as the welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 move, the operation of the first motor 335 can drive the two wire feeding wheels 334 to rotate in opposite directions, and continuously feed the winding drum 331 toward the welding gun 320. At the same time, the control box 380 controls the two ends of the power supply to be connected to the welding gun 320 and the rectangular steel column 100 respectively, and the continuously fed welding wire 332 generates an arc between the rectangular steel column 100 and the flux layer. The heat of the arc melts the welding wire 332, the rectangular steel column 100 and the flux to form a metal molten pool, which is isolated from the air. The molten pool is then cooled and solidified to form a weld.

[0057] Embodiment 2: This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 9 , two positioning mechanisms 400 are symmetrically arranged on the base 200, and the two positioning mechanisms 400 are used to fix the base 200 on the two rectangular steel columns 100;

[0058] The positioning mechanism 400 includes a first L-shaped block 410, and two ends of the first L-shaped block 410 are respectively slidably provided with a second L-shaped block 420 and a third L-shaped block 430. The positioning mechanism 400 also includes a fourth L-shaped block 440, and two ends of the fourth L-shaped block 440 are respectively slidably provided on the second L-shaped block 420 and the third L-shaped block 430.

[0059] A retractable rectangular structure is formed by a first L-shaped block 410, a second L-shaped block 420, a third L-shaped block 430 and a fourth L-shaped block 440 to fix the rectangular steel column 100, and another wire 390 is connected to one of the first L-shaped blocks 410;

[0060] The first L-shaped block 410 , the second L-shaped block 420 , the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are all provided with an L-shaped groove 450 ;

[0061] When the first L-shaped block 410, the second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are respectively fitted with the four sides of the rectangular steel column 100, the four L-shaped grooves 450 form a rectangular groove equidistant from the outline of the rectangular steel column 100;

[0062] The welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 are both provided with guide rods 460, and the two guide rods 460 are both slidably connected in the rectangular groove formed by the four L-shaped grooves 450;

[0063] The first L-shaped block 410 is disposed on the base 200 . The positioning mechanism 400 further includes a fixing assembly 490 . The fixing assembly 490 includes a bolt 491 . The bolt 491 is threadedly connected to the base 200 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 . A nut 492 is also threadedly connected to the bolt 491 .

[0064] In this embodiment: considering that welding must be carried out at any location in the single pile wind turbine steel structure in a non-ground location, the base 200, the positioning mechanism 400 and the surrounding mechanism 500 cannot be a complete ring, rectangular or other structure, so that the installation can be completed on the sides of the two rectangular steel columns 100.

[0065] Accordingly, the first L-shaped block 410 is installed on the base 200, and the first L-shaped block 410 can be aligned with a right angle of the rectangular steel column 100 so that the two inner sides of the first L-shaped block 410 are aligned with the two right angle sides of the rectangular steel column 100, and then Fig. 9The detachable second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are assembled so that the fourth L-shaped block 440 is aligned with another right angle on the diagonal of the rectangular steel column 100, and finally the inner rectangular contours of the first L-shaped block 410, the second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are matched with the contour of the rectangular steel column 100.

[0066] During this process, the four sliders 470 installed on the first L-shaped block 410, the second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 slide along the four slide grooves 480 respectively. After the first L-shaped block 410, the second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are matched with the four sides of the rectangular steel column 100, the bolts 491 can be installed to connect the fourth L-shaped block 440 and the base 200, and then the nuts 492 are screwed on to fix the position of the fourth L-shaped block 440, so that the positions of the first L-shaped block 410, the second L-shaped block 420, the third L-shaped block 430 and the fourth L-shaped block 440 are all fixed.

[0067] At this time, the four L-shaped grooves 450 are connected to form a rectangular groove equidistant from the outline of the rectangular steel column 100, and the welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 are both limited in the rectangular groove by the guide rod 460. When the driving housing 310 as a whole circles around the rectangular steel column 100, the welding gun 320 and the storage box 340 will slide along the housing 310 respectively under the guidance of the two guide rods 460, so that the welding gun 320 is always vertically aligned with the surface of the rectangular steel column 100, and the flux box 360 also keeps in contact with the surface of the rectangular steel column 100.

The housing 310 is installed on the third arc bracket 530.

[0072] The second motor 540 drives the second gear 550 to rotate clockwise, which can drive the arc-shaped first gear ring 560 to slide clockwise, thereby driving the second arc-shaped bracket 520 to extend in the clockwise direction relative to the first arc-shaped bracket 510.

[0073] The third motor 570 drives the third gear 580 to rotate clockwise, which can drive the arc-shaped second gear ring 590 to slide clockwise, thereby driving the third arc-shaped bracket 530 and the shell 310 to extend in the clockwise direction relative to the second arc-shaped bracket 520.
