Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a spraying control method, in particular to an arc automatic spraying control method for an outer wall of a wind power tower. Background Art

[0002] The outer wall of the wind turbine tower needs to be coated before it can be put into actual application scenarios. The coating is used to protect the wind turbine tower from erosion. In the prior art, the outer wall of the wind turbine tower is generally sprayed manually. This method is inefficient and has a large loss of raw materials, which makes the cost high. More importantly, the existing manual method often has uneven coating thickness, which affects the appearance quality on the one hand and easily causes pitting corrosion on the other hand.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, automatic spraying methods have been gradually proposed, such as using arc spraying equipment to achieve automatic spraying. The arc spraying equipment has two spray guns for simultaneous spraying. However, although the efficiency of the arc spraying gun can be improved, if the moving speed of the arc spraying gun and the overall moving position of the arc spraying equipment cannot be accurately controlled, there will still be problems of unevenness in manual spraying and the efficiency cannot be guaranteed. Since the outer surface of the wind turbine tower is a conical structure, the control method of the prior art cannot accurately achieve the above-mentioned accurate control.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve this technical problem, it is urgent to propose a new technical means. Summary of the invention

[0042] Obtain spraying parameters of arc automatic spraying equipment;

[0043] Divide the wind turbine tower into n segments along its axis;

[0045] The moving speed of the spray gun of the arc automatic spray equipment is determined according to the spraying time of the wind turbine tower sections and the working time of the spray gun of the arc automatic spray equipment, and the arc automatic spray equipment is controlled according to the moving speed of the spray gun and the moving distance of the arc automatic spray equipment. Through the above method, the overall moving position of the arc spray equipment and the moving speed of the spray gun are determined based on the combination of the arc spray equipment's own parameters and the structural parameters of the wind turbine tower, so that the arc spray equipment can be accurately controlled, ensuring the spraying quality of the outer wall of the wind turbine tower, and effectively improving the spraying efficiency, and saving spraying materials.

[0046] In this embodiment, the moving speed of the spray gun of the automatic arc spraying equipment is determined according to the spraying time of the wind turbine tower sections and the working time of the spray gun of the automatic arc spraying equipment, which specifically includes:

[0047] According to the spraying time of the wind turbine tower segment, the rotation speed of the i-th tower segment and the working time of the spray gun of the arc automatic spraying equipment are determined:

[0049] Where: V pa_i is the rotation speed of the outer wall of the i-th wind turbine tower, d i is the diameter of the i-th wind turbine tower, T i The time required to complete the spraying of the outer wall of the i-th section of the wind turbine tower;

[0050]

[0051] Where: k is the swing width of the spray gun of the arc automatic spraying equipment; t i is the working time of the spray gun for spraying the outer wall of the i-th section of the wind turbine tower;

[0052] Where: V gu_i is the moving speed of the spray gun when spraying the outer wall of the i-th section of the wind turbine tower, and λ is the length of the spray gun.

[0053] In this embodiment, the moving distance of the arc automatic spraying equipment is determined by the following method:

[0054] Determine the position Z of the arc automatic spraying equipment when it completes spraying the outer wall of the wind turbine tower i-1 ;

[0055] Determine the spraying distance Z of the arc automatic spraying equipment when spraying the i+1th section i+1 ;

Therefore, through the above method, the diameter of each segment is equivalently calculated, so as to facilitate precise control. That is to say, the diameter d i is an equivalent diameter.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
