Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of argon arc welding automatic welding, and in particular to an AVC-OSC device and a small-diameter automatic welding device. Background Art

[0002] Since the accuracy of arc length control during welding directly affects the welding quality, automatic arc length tracking control (ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL, AVC) is a key factor in ensuring the quality of steel pipe welding and improving welding efficiency. The swing technology of automatic welding (OSCILLATION, OSC) is a key technology for achieving heat distribution and wide bead welding during welding.

[0003] At present, there are automatic welding equipment with AVC structure and OSC structure on the market. Although the AVC structure and the OSC structure are concentrated at or near the head C-shaped structure where the circumferential seam welder of the automatic welding equipment performs welding operations, both are independent and each occupies a certain space, which will result in a large volume at or near the head C-shaped structure where the circumferential seam welder performs welding operations, and thus a large rotation space will need to be reserved, and usually at least 48mm of rotation space needs to be reserved. Therefore, this type of automatic welding equipment with AVC structure and OSC structure can only be used in welding occasions where the spacing between pipe rows is 48mm or more, and is powerless for welding occasions where the spacing between pipe rows is less than 48mm, and can only use traditional manual welding methods or give up welding methods and choose other methods. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an AVC-OSC device with a compact structure, flexible and reliable operation. In addition, the present invention also provides a small-diameter automatic welding device using the AVC-OSC device. The device requires a small rotation space and can fully perform welding tasks in narrow welding working environments where the spacing between pipe rows is 25 mm.

[0005] For a tube row structure composed of a series of tubes arranged in a line, such as a water-cooled wall, when a part of a tube is damaged, the traditional approach is to directly replace the complete tube row structure, but this method has a high replacement cost, so the best solution is to directly cut off the damaged part of the tube, and then replace a good part of the replacement tube. When the local replacement tube is connected to the cut-off part of the tube row structure, a circumferential welding method is usually used. Since the traditional automatic welding equipment with AVC structure and OSC structure, although the AVC structure and OSC structure on it are set in the same area, they are not integrated, and each of them has to occupy a certain space independently, so the overall occupied space is relatively large, and inevitably occupies the rotation space, so it can only be used for welding occasions where the spacing between tube rows is 48mm or more. In order to improve the scope of application of automatic welding equipment with AVC structure and OSC structure, this scheme designs an AVC-OSC device, which integrates the AVC structure and OSC structure together, thereby reducing the volume of the rotation space occupied by the AVC structure and OSC structure.

[0006] The present solution provides an AVC-OSC device, comprising: a housing and a slider located in an inner cavity of the housing, wherein the slider is provided with a first circular hole channel penetrating left and right, a first internally threaded hole channel penetrating left and right, and two second circular hole channels penetrating up and down, wherein the first circular hole channel and the first internally threaded hole channel are parallel to each other, the two second circular hole channels are parallel to each other, and the first circular hole channel is perpendicular to any of the second circular hole channels; The gear rod is inserted into the first circular hole channel, and the left and right ends of the gear rod extending out of the left and right ends of the first circular hole channel are respectively supported and installed in the inner cavity of the shell through the first bearing support; A cylindrical rack is inserted in each second circular hole channel, the two second circular hole channels are located on the same side of the first circular hole channel, and the hole wall of each second circular hole channel penetrates the hole wall of the first circular hole channel to form a through-hole, so that the cylindrical rack inserted in the second circular hole channel is meshed with the gear rod through the corresponding through-hole, and the upper ends of the two cylindrical racks are respectively fixed to the mounting seat outside the shell after passing through the corresponding first through holes on the upper side plate of the shell; The first screw is screwed into the first internal thread channel, and the left and right ends of the first screw extending out of the left and right ends of the first internal thread channel are respectively supported and installed in the inner cavity of the shell through the second bearing. The gear rod is driven by the first driving device to rotate around the axis of the gear rod, so that the two cylindrical racks meshing with it move upward or downward synchronously along the axis direction of the cylindrical racks; the first screw is driven by the second driving device to rotate around the axis of the first screw, so that the slider moves left or right along the axis direction of the first screw.

The girth welder 7 adopts a girth welder 7 with a head C-shaped structure commonly seen on the market, and a welding torch 71 on the girth welder 7 is arranged on the rotating structure of the girth welder 7 through an AVC-OSC device. The welding torch 71 is driven by the rotating structure of the girth welder 7 to rotate around the girth 103 between the first pipe 101 to be welded and the second pipe 102 to be welded clamped in the clamping mechanism.

[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the AVC-OSC device described in this embodiment adopts the AVC-OSC device described in Example 1, wherein the housing 1 of the AVC-OSC device is fixedly mounted on the rotating structure of the girth welder 7, and the welding torch 71 is fixedly mounted on the mounting seat 41 of the AVC-OSC device through the base 72.

[0047] The above-mentioned small-diameter automatic welding equipment requires a small rotation space as a whole, and can be used in narrow welding operations where the spacing between pipe rows is 25 mm or more, and has a wider range of applications. Embodiment 3

[0048] This embodiment is based on the second embodiment, and improves the clamping mechanism on the traditional automatic welding equipment, so that it occupies less space, has a more compact structure, and is more stable. The improved clamping mechanism is composed of two pipe clamping mechanisms; the two pipe clamping mechanisms are respectively located above and below the girth welder 7.

[0049] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the structure of each pipe clamping mechanism includes: a fixed clamping jaw 8 and a movable clamping jaw 9. The fixed clamping jaw 8 is composed of a fixed connecting arm 81 and a fixed clamping portion 82 located at the front end of the fixed connecting arm 81, and a first hinged arm 83 is provided at the front section of the fixed connecting arm 81, wherein the fixed connecting arm 81, the fixed clamping portion 82, and the first hinged arm 83 are preferably an integral structure formed by integral molding. The movable clamping jaw 9 is composed of an active connecting arm 91 and an active clamping portion 92 located at the front end of the active connecting arm 91, and a second hinged arm 93 is provided at the front section of the active connecting arm 91, wherein the active connecting arm 91, the active clamping portion 92, and the second hinged arm 93 are preferably an integral structure formed by integral molding.

[0050] The first hinged arm 83 and the second hinged arm 93 are hinged, and a swinging structure is provided between the fixed connecting arm 81 and the movable connecting arm 91 to drive the movable connecting arm 91 to swing around the hinge point between the first hinged arm 83 and the second hinged arm 93, so that the movable clamping part 92 moves closer to or away from the fixed clamping part 82.

In actual use, the second clamping block 922 of appropriate height can be adapted according to different pipes. At this time, the device can be clamped for pipes with a diameter of 5 to 30 mm in the pipe row.

[0057] In addition, in order to improve the stability of clamping, the clamping opening of each first clamping block 922 and / or the clamping opening of each second clamping block 922 is designed to be a V-shaped clamping opening.

[0058] The equipment adopts the above-mentioned clamping mechanism, which can realize automatic centering of two sections of pipes after clamping, omitting the manual centering process and achieving higher centering accuracy. The circular welding process can be carried out immediately after clamping, thus simplifying the process, saving time and improving work efficiency.
