[0040] In modern manufacturing industry, robot welding is widely used for its high efficiency and precision. However, a significant limitation is that these robot systems often lack the adaptive ability that welding workers have. Groove change is a key variable in the welding process. Traditional welding robots weld along a straight line and cannot dynamically perceive the specific form and size change of the groove, which leads to rigid and mismatched welding parameters, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of welding quality. In the face of complex factors of groove change in the welding process, traditional robots are difficult to perceive and adjust welding parameters in real time, thereby frequently causing welding defects such as incomplete fusion, undercut, and uneven welds.

[0041] To solve the above problems, as shown in Figures 1-5 The present embodiment provides a hull structure fillet weld process. The welding torch 2 is arranged on the mechanical arm. The welding torch 2 is applied to weld a T-shaped joint with a welding leg height of 7mm using the hull structure fillet weld process. The hull structure fillet weld process comprises the following steps:

[0042] S1, the welding torch 2 performs arc welding according to preset arc starting parameters;

[0043] S2, the welding torch 2 performs standard welding according to preset welding parameters;

[0044] S3, the welding torch 2 performs arc extinguishing welding according to preset arc extinguishing parameters;

[0045] In the S1 step, the S2 step and the S3 step, the welding torch 2 swings according to the preset swing parameters to form a weld leg with a height of 7 mm; when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters include the following parameters: the swing form is "Z-shaped", the swing frequency is 1.5 Hz, the swing amplitude is 2 mm, and the swing limit position dwell time is 0; when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters include the following parameters: the swing form is "Z-shaped", the swing frequency is 1 Hz, the swing amplitude is 7 mm, and the swing limit position dwell time is 0.4 s. The welding torch 2 on the mechanical arm can form a T-shaped joint with a weld leg height of 7 mm by adopting the above ship structure fillet welding process, which can ensure the stability of the weld 11 quality and improve the welding speed by more than 20% compared with manual welding. Moreover, during welding, the mechanical arm can drive the welding torch to swing along the "Z-shaped" path to completely cover the groove, so that the welding torch 2 can cover the groove during swinging even if the groove changes, thereby increasing the welding area and ensuring the welding quality of the weld 11 to achieve the effect of correcting the weld 11. By adopting the above preset swing parameters for swing welding, regular horizontal swinging is performed on the weld 11, so that the welding energy is more uniformly distributed on the weld 11, thereby improving the uniformity of the weld 11. The swing welding can form good fusion between the weld 11 and the welding plate 1, thereby improving the strength and stability of the welding.

[0046] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters further include that the angle between the axis of the welding torch 2 and the horizontal plane is 45°, and the axis of the welding torch 2 is perpendicular to the weld 11; as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters further include that the posture of the welding torch 2 is push welding, the angle between the axis of the welding torch 2 and the horizontal plane is 15°, and the axis of the welding torch 2 is located on the angle bisector of the angle between the two welding plates 1, wherein the two welding plates 1 are perpendicular, and the angle between the axis of the welding torch 2 and the two welding plates 1 is 45°. The appropriate angle of the welding torch 2 helps to reduce defects such as undercut and slag inclusion generated during welding, improve the forming quality of the weld 11, and improve the welding efficiency.

According to the preset arc extinguishing parameters, the arc is stable during arc extinguishing, can ensure that the arc pit of the arc extinguishing welding part is filled, and can prevent defects such as porosity, cracks, pores, or slag inclusion from occurring in the arc extinguishing welding part.

[0050] Preferably, in the S1 step, the S2 step, and the S3 step, the welding part is sprayed with protective gas, and the protective gas has a flow rate of 15 L / min-25 L / min. By spraying the protective gas, the weld 11 area can be isolated from contact with oxygen and moisture in the air, thereby preventing the high-temperature metal from being oxidized and corroded. This not only maintains the metal composition and performance of the weld 11, but also reduces the occurrence of welding defects such as pores, cracks, etc., and improves the corrosion resistance and durability of the weld 11. The protective gas can also protect the welding gun 2 to some extent, reduce equipment damage caused by high temperature and oxidation, and prolong the service life of the equipment. In the present embodiment, the protective gas is CO2.

[0051] Further preferably, the protective gas starts to be sent 1 s before the arc welding, can ensure that the air in the nozzle is exhausted, can ensure that the welding part is within the range of the protective gas at the beginning of welding, and can reduce the influence of air on the welding quality; the protective gas is sent for 1.5 s after the arc extinguishing welding, and after the welding stops, the protective gas can cool and protect the welding point. The present embodiment improves the quality of the welding part while ensuring the welding efficiency.

[0052] In the embodiment, the gap of the weld 11 between the two welding plates 1 is 0-2mm, the thickness of the welding plate 1 is 3mm-16mm, the area to be welded should be cleaned before welding to ensure that there is no oil stain, moisture, rust and other impurities.

Therefore, although the present application has been described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and can include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present application, and the scope of the present application is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
