CMT arc welding has low current, low heat input, low spatter and post-weld deformation, and high metallurgical quality of the weld metal. This method is particularly suitable for thin plate welding. Since the CMT transition mode is different from ordinary MIG / MAG welding, its composite mode and composite effect are also changed.

[0003] Existing CMT welding devices, such as announcement number CN215469111U, are named as a CMT cold transition welding device for a car power battery cover, including a base, a control host, a robotic arm and a welding gun.

[0004] The existing CMT welding device mainly adopts the traditional straight-line welding method. For the parts with higher connection strength requirements, the weld size is too small, which can easily reduce the strength of the welded joint. Therefore, we provide an aluminum alloy arc welding device based on CMT cold metal transfer and its working method. Summary of the invention

[0012] The micro-transmission mechanism is connected to the CMT welding head. During the movement, the servo motor on the micro-transmission mechanism runs to control the rotation of the active eccentric gear, which engages and transmits with the driven eccentric gears on both sides. The continuous eccentric rotation of the driven eccentric gears on both sides will drive the transmission block connected to it to move back and forth along the slide slot, thereby driving the two sets of CMT welding heads to follow the device to move linearly along the weld, while increasing the lateral reciprocating motion, so that the traditional linear strip transport welding method is changed to a staggered strip transport welding method.

[0013] Preferably, a detection seat is installed at the front end of the CMT welding head, an inclined seat is provided at the middle position of the front end of the detection seat, and a weld scanner is installed on the outer wall of the inclined seat.

[0014] Preferably, brackets are provided on both sides of the tilting seat, and the brackets are fixedly connected to the detection seat, and a laser rangefinder is installed at one end of the bracket.

[0015] Preferably, guide rod supports are installed above and below one end of the transmission block, a first guide rod is installed on the inner wall of the upper guide rod support, and one end of the first guide rod passes through and extends to the outside of the second transmission arm, a second guide rod is installed on the inner wall of the lower guide rod support, a bearing seat is provided on the outer wall of the second guide rod, and the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the lower end of the micro-transmission mechanism.

[0016] Preferably, a first bearing is installed at the connection between the first guide rod and the second transmission arm, a second bearing is installed at the connection between the second guide rod and the bearing seat, and a limit block is installed at one end of the first guide rod and the second guide rod.

[0018] Preferably, a transmission cover is installed on one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped support, a driven sprocket is installed at one end inside the transmission cover, and the axle of the driven sprocket is transmission connected to the second transmission arm, a driving sprocket is installed at the other end inside the transmission cover, the driving sprocket is transmission connected to the driven sprocket through a chain belt, a third stepper motor is installed on the outer wall of the transmission cover, the output end of the third stepper motor passes through and extends to the interior of the transmission cover, and is transmission connected to the driving sprocket.

[0019] Preferably, a base is installed on the lower surface of the electric turntable, and shock-absorbing support feet are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the base.

[0020] Preferably, a working method of an aluminum alloy arc welding device based on CMT cold metal transfer comprises the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: The loading equipment moves the two sets of plates to be welded to the predetermined positions, and the CMT welding head is controlled to move to the welding position of the joint of the two sets of plates through the rotation cooperation among the electric turntable, the first transmission arm, the transmission seat, the connecting rod, the U-shaped support and the second transmission arm;

[0022] Step 2: Before welding, the weld scanner on the detection seat detects the subsequent weld position at a certain inclination angle, and the two sets of laser rangefinders on the detection seat determine the flatness of the two sets of plate assembly based on laser distance measurement. After the flatness and weld position are confirmed to be correct, the controller controls the device to operate based on a predetermined program to move the CMT welding head along the weld;

[0023] Step 3: During the movement, different welding methods are enabled according to the welding requirements of the plate. One is the operation of the micro-transmission mechanism. The servo motor on the micro-transmission mechanism controls the rotation of the active eccentric gear, which meshes with the driven eccentric gears on both sides. The continuous eccentric rotation of the driven eccentric gears on both sides will drive the transmission blocks connected to the rotation thereof to reciprocate and extend along the slide slot, thereby driving the two groups of CMT welding heads to follow the device to move linearly along the weld seam, while increasing the lateral reciprocating motion, so that the traditional linear wire feeding welding method is changed to the staggered wire feeding welding method, and during the welding process, the two groups of CMT welding heads alternately start arcs, and use the wire feeding motion and the molten droplet transition for digital coordination to ensure the stability of the arc during the welding process. The second is the stop of the micro-transmission mechanism, and the device drives the two groups of CMT welding heads to move linearly along the weld seam. During the process, the two groups of CMT welding heads efficiently alternately start arcs to shorten the welding interval;

[0024] Step 4: During the welding process, if the weld scanner or laser rangefinder on the detection seat detects that the weld position is offset or the flatness of the two sets of plates is uneven, it will feedback the signal to the terminal, sound an alarm and stop the operation to wait for subsequent maintenance to reduce operating losses.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present invention connects the micro-motion transmission mechanism with the CMT welding head. During the welding process, if the key plate has a high strength requirement, the servo motor on the micro-motion transmission mechanism runs to control the rotation of the active eccentric gear, which meshes with the driven eccentric gears on both sides. The driven eccentric gears on both sides continue to rotate eccentrically, which drives the transmission blocks connected to them to move back and forth along the slide slot, thereby driving the two groups of CMT welding head following devices to move linearly along the weld, while increasing the lateral reciprocating motion, so that the traditional straight-line welding method is changed to a staggered welding method, thereby increasing the welding range and enhancing the welding firmness. This solves the problem that the existing CMT welding device mainly adopts the traditional straight-line welding method for welding, and the weld size is too small for the part with high connection strength requirement, which is easy to reduce the strength of the welded joint.

[0027] 2. For non-critical node plates, the device can also use traditional linear straight bar welding. During the process, two sets of CMT welding heads efficiently and alternately start arcs, shortening the welding interval to improve welding efficiency, reduce consumables, reduce welding costs, and improve the flexibility of the device.

[0028] 3. The double CMT welding head design is adopted. During the welding process, two groups of CMT welding heads start arcs alternately, and the wire feeding movement is digitally coordinated with the molten droplet transition to achieve the molten droplet transition in the state of no current at a frequency of 1.5-5.0 GHz. The wire feeding and retraction in the short-circuit state realizes the separation of the welding wire and the molten droplet, so as to ensure the stability of the arc during the welding process, reduce the welding heat by 20-30%, and the weld surface is nearly 100% spatter-free, reducing or even eliminating the need for manual rework and maintenance.

[0029] 4. By setting a detection seat on the CMT welding head, the "inspection before welding" operation mode is adopted. Before welding, the weld scanner on the detection seat detects the subsequent weld position at a certain inclination angle, and the two sets of laser rangefinders on the detection seat judge the flatness of the two sets of plate parts based on laser ranging. After the flatness and weld position are confirmed to be correct, the controller controls the device to run based on a predetermined program to move the CMT welding head along the weld. During the welding process, if the weld scanner or laser rangefinder on the detection seat detects that the weld position is offset or the flatness of the two sets of plates is different, it will feedback a signal to the terminal, issue an alarm and stop the operation to wait for subsequent maintenance to reduce operation losses.

7. A working method of an aluminum alloy arc welding device based on CMT cold metal transfer, which is implemented based on the aluminum alloy arc welding device based on CMT cold metal transfer according to claim 6, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: The loading device moves two sets of plates to be welded to a predetermined position, and controls the CMT welding head (16) to move to the welding position where the two sets of plates are joined by the rotational cooperation among the electric turntable (1), the first transmission arm (5), the transmission seat (6), the connecting rod (7), the U-shaped support (8) and the second transmission arm (9); Step 2: Before welding, a weld scanner (28) on the detection seat (24) detects the subsequent weld position at a certain inclination angle, and two sets of laser rangefinders (26) on the detection seat (24) determine the flatness of the two sets of plate assembly based on laser distance measurement. After the flatness and weld position are confirmed to be correct, the controller controls the device to operate based on a predetermined program, so that the CMT welding head (16) moves along the weld; Step 3: During the movement, different welding methods are activated according to the welding requirements of the plate. One is that the micro-transmission mechanism (10) is operated, and the servo motor (15) on the micro-transmission mechanism (10) controls the active eccentric gear (106) to rotate, and meshes with the driven eccentric gears on both sides for transmission. The continuous eccentric rotation of the driven eccentric gears on both sides will drive the transmission block (102) connected to the rotation thereof to reciprocate and extend along the slide groove (101), thereby driving the two groups of CMT welding heads (16) to follow the device to move linearly along the weld seam, while increasing the lateral reciprocating movement, so that the traditional linear wire feeding welding method is changed to a staggered wire feeding welding method, and during the welding process, the two groups of CMT welding heads (16) alternately start arcs, and use the wire feeding movement and the molten droplet transition to perform digital coordination to ensure the stability of the arc during the welding process. The second is that the micro-transmission mechanism (10) stops, and the device drives the two groups of CMT welding heads (16) to move linearly along the weld seam. During the process, the two groups of CMT welding heads (16) efficiently alternately start arcs, shortening the welding interval. Step 4: During the welding process, if the weld scanner (28) or laser rangefinder (26) on the detection seat (24) detects that the weld position is offset or the flatness of the two sets of plates is different, it will feedback a signal to the terminal, sound an alarm and stop the operation to wait for subsequent maintenance, thereby reducing operation losses.
