Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine back-firing, and in particular relates to a flexible electromagnetic induction heating device, a back-firing system and a method. Background Art

[0002] During the hull construction process, residual stress will be generated during welding operations, and the correction angle will also be deformed, which will lead to local deformation of the hull structure. In order to prevent this deformation, the back of the weld needs to be back-burned, which can not only eliminate the angle deformation, but also eliminate the internal stress, and it is also a pre-deformation. When building a ship, especially a large hull, the area of ​​steel plates that need to be back-burned is very large, and the requirements for back-burning quality are also high. The traditional pyrotechnic back-burning construction method uses one person to operate a back-burning tool, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, is inefficient, and relies on the experience and technology of the workers. Toxic gases are also produced during the back-burning process, which affects the health of the workers. Therefore, the heating device, as a key device of the back-burning system, is crucial to the efficiency, degree of automation and quality of the back-burning. Compared with the flame gun nozzle type heating device, the electromagnetic induction heating device uses a heating coil to heat treat the weld, which has the advantages of standardization, light load and more environmental protection. Compared with the heating device that can only back-burn one weld at a time, although patents CN115261593A, CN117015094A, etc. use two heating coils, two welds can be back-burned at a time, and each heating coil can be independently raised and lowered relative to the heating surface, which increases efficiency and flexibility, but the vertical lifting flexibility is not enough. For example, on the uneven slope of the weld, it is easy to cause one end of the heating coil to be closer to the heating surface and the other end to be farther away. Therefore, it is difficult to adapt to different weld curved surfaces, and the ability to adapt to changes is poor, and it is difficult to meet the back-burning requirements.

[0003] Compared with back-burning systems and methods with fewer heating devices, although patents CN109333550B, CN219336493U, etc. use multiple heating or ignition devices on rollers or beams to adapt to the simultaneous back-burning of multiple surfaces to be heated, and can relatively adjust the distance between adjacent heating or ignition devices to increase efficiency and flexibility, they can only achieve a large range of movement in a certain direction. After the back-burning of the weld in the horizontal direction is completed, the weld in the vertical direction cannot be back-burned. Although the wheeled back-burning system is more flexible in steering than the track-type structure, the stability and accuracy of back-burning of multiple welds cannot meet the requirements.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] Embodiment 1:

[0046] In view of the problem that the prior art cannot adapt to different weld curves due to insufficient flexibility when back-heating two welds at a time, such as Figure 1As shown, a preferred embodiment of a flexible electromagnetic induction heating device of the present invention is shown. The flexible electromagnetic induction heating device 1 includes a heating mechanism 11, and the heating mechanism 11 includes a first support member 111 and two electromagnetic induction heating members 112 spaced apart from each other. The first support member 111 is provided with a first driving mechanism 113, and the first driving mechanism 113 is used to drive each electromagnetic induction heating member 112 to perform lifting and lowering movement and reciprocating deflection movement around the horizontal circumference relative to the first support member 111. The electromagnetic induction heating member 112 can move relative to the weld surface perpendicularly rather than vertically lifting and lowering movement under the composite movement through the added deflection movement, thereby increasing the heating uniformity of the weld surface, and thus having a strong ability to adapt to different weld surfaces.

[0047] Further, the first driving mechanism 113 includes a first driving motor 1131, a first shaft 1132, a second driving motor 1133 and a first bracket 1134. The first driving mechanism 113 can be axially connected to the first shaft 1132 to drive the first shaft 1132 to rotate around a horizontal axis. The first shaft 1132 is provided with a first bevel gear 1135. The second driving mechanism 113 can be axially connected to the first bracket 1134 to drive the first bracket 1134 to reciprocate around the axial direction of the first shaft 1132. The first bracket 1134 is provided with a second shaft 1136. and an elastic support member 114, the second shaft 1136 is perpendicular to the first shaft 1132, a second bevel tooth 1137 and a cam 1138 are provided on the second shaft 1136, the second bevel tooth 1137 is meshed with the first bevel tooth 1135, the cam 1138 is provided with a protrusion 1139 that can cooperate with the elastic support member 114, the elastic support member 114 can elastically support each electromagnetic induction heating member 112 parallel to the second shaft 1136, and transmission can be achieved through the meshing of the first bevel tooth 1135 and the second bevel tooth 1137, the structure is simpler, and it is beneficial to reduce the driving load and energy consumption.

[0048] Furthermore, the first shaft 1132 passes through the first bracket 1134, which can further improve stability.

[0049] Furthermore, the elastic support member 114 includes a guide member 1141, a stopper 1142 and an elastic member 1143. The guide member 1141 and the first bracket 1134 slide in a direction parallel to the second shaft 1136. The guide member 1141 is provided with a roller 1144 that cooperates with the protrusion 1139. The stopper 1142 is connected to the guide member 1141. The elastic member 1143 is located between the stopper 1142 and the first bracket 1134. The elastic member 1143 It can be extended and retracted parallel to the second axis 1136. The elastic member 1143 can be a spring. One end of the guide member 1141 passes through the first bracket 1134 and the spring connection limit member 1142, and the spring is pre-stressed. The electromagnetic induction heating element 112 can use a heating strip, and the heating strip is installed at the other end of the guide member 1141 to achieve elastic support and installation of the electromagnetic induction heating element 112 by the elastic support member 114, and the roller 1144 cooperates with the protrusion 1139 to reduce friction resistance and improve stability.

[0050] The working principle of the above-mentioned heating device 1 includes:

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown in (a), if the heights of the two weld sections are consistent, the protrusion 1139 and the roller 1144 give way, and the two electromagnetic induction heating elements 112 maintain consistent positions under the support of the elastic support member 114; Figure 2 As shown in (b), when the left weld 4 is lower than the right weld 5 due to deformation on the surface to be heated, the first drive motor 1131 drives the first shaft 1132 to rotate around the horizontal axis, and the first bevel tooth 1135 rotates synchronously, driving the second bevel tooth 1137 meshing with the first bevel tooth 1135 to rotate, then the second shaft 1136 and the cam 1138 on the second shaft 1136 rotate perpendicular to the first shaft 1132, until the protrusion 1139 of the cam 1138 runs to the roller 1144 corresponding to the left electromagnetic induction heating element 112, pushing the guide member 1141 to descend parallel to the first shaft 1132, and the spring is further compressed, then the distance from the left electromagnetic induction heating element 112 to the weld is adjusted to adapt to the concave surface of the left weld 4.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown in (c), similarly, when the right weld 5 is lower than the left weld 4 due to deformation on the surface to be heated, the first drive motor 1131 drives the first shaft 1132 to rotate in the opposite direction, which can drive the electromagnetic induction heating element 112 on the right side to adapt to the concave surface of the weld 5 on the right side. At the same time, after the protrusion 1139 leaves the roller 1144 of the left electromagnetic induction heating element 112, the guide member 1141 moves in the opposite direction under the support of the elastic force of the spring, and the electromagnetic induction heating element 112 on the left side can be reset; therefore, the lifting and lowering adjustment of the two electromagnetic induction heating elements 112 can be further optimized by further optimizing the shape and number of the protrusions 1139 and the relative position of the roller 1144.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown in (a), when the height along the extending direction of the weld is kept straight, the second shaft 1136 of the first bracket 1134 can be driven by the second driving motor 1133 to keep it in a vertical state, parallel to the weld surface; Figure 3 As shown in b, when the protrusion 1139 is extended in the direction of the weld and the heating mechanism 11 moves forward, the second driving motor 1133 drives the first bracket 1134 to deflect axially around the first shaft 1132, so that the two electromagnetic induction heating elements 112 are parallel to the weld surface under deflection; Figure 3 As shown in (c), when the heating mechanism 11 moves forward while being depressed in the extending direction of the weld, the second driving motor 1133 drives the first bracket 1134 to deflect in the opposite direction around the axial direction of the first shaft 1132, so that the two electromagnetic induction heating elements 112 are parallel to the weld surface under deflection; Figure 3 As shown in d, when the protrusion 1139 is along the extension direction of the weld and one weld is lower than the other weld, the corresponding electromagnetic induction heating element 112 is driven downward by the first driving motor 1131 under deflection to adjust the heating distance to the weld. Other possible scenarios are adjusted by compound motion in the same way and will not be repeated. Therefore, it can be seen that each electromagnetic induction heating element 112 can perform a compound motion of lifting and lowering movement and reciprocating deflection around the horizontal circumference relative to the first supporting element 111, which greatly increases the adaptability to the weld curved surface, can meet the back-burning processing of different weld cross-sections and undulating extension directions, and is beneficial to improving the processing quality and applicability.

[0054] Embodiment 2:

[0055] Based on the same inventive concept, Figure 4 As shown, another preferred embodiment of the flexible electromagnetic induction heating device described in the present invention includes a second support member 12 and a plurality of heating mechanisms 11 as described in Example 1 spaced apart from each other. A second driving mechanism 13 is provided between the plurality of heating mechanisms 11 and the second support member 12, and the second driving mechanism 13 is used to drive each heating mechanism 11 to reciprocate left and right.

[0056] Furthermore, the first support member 111 slides with the second support member 12 along the moving direction of the heating mechanism 11, and the second driving mechanism 13 includes a first rack 131, a plurality of third driving motors 132 and a first gear 133. The rack is arranged on the second support member 12, and the plurality of third driving motors 132 are respectively arranged on each first support member 111. The third driving motor 132 is used to drive the first gear 133 to rotate, and the first gear 133 is meshed with the first rack 131. The first support member 111 can adopt a sliding platform, and the second support member 12 can adopt a heating platform. Then, the driving shaft of the third driving mechanism 2 can be connected to the first gear 133 and drive the first gear 133 to rotate. The first gear 133 is meshed with the first rack 131 to drive the corresponding sliding platform to slide on the heating platform, thereby changing the distance between adjacent heating mechanisms 11. A polytetrafluoroethylene sheet can be arranged between the contact surfaces of the heating platform and the sliding platform to reduce sliding friction.

[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, further, the second support member 12 is provided with a through hole 121 that slidably cooperates with the first support member 111. The through hole 121 serves to limit the first support member 111, which can further compact the structure.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown in (a) and 6(b), the second driving mechanism 13 can drive each heating mechanism 11 to move back and forth left and right, so that the electromagnetic induction heating element 112 of each heating mechanism 11 is aligned above the weld, and is responsible for accurately back-burning the weld. It has a strong ability to adapt to different weld spacings and the ability to adapt to different weld curves, which solves the problem of too few heating mechanisms 11 and insufficient efficiency in the past, and the problem of accurately back-burning multiple welds at the same time.

[0059] Embodiment 3:

[0060] Based on the same inventive concept, and aiming at the problem that the existing back-burning system has difficulty in turning the back-burning equipment when back-burning the weld in the vertical direction after back-burning the weld in the horizontal direction, such as Figure 7-8 As shown, a preferred embodiment of a flexible electromagnetic induction back-burning system described in the present invention is shown, and the back-burning system includes a third driving mechanism 2 and a flexible electromagnetic induction heating device 1 as described in Example 2, and the third driving mechanism 2 is used to drive the flexible electromagnetic induction heating device 1 to move in three-dimensional directions and to rotate 90° around the vertical axis. The distance from the heating device 1 to the surface to be heated can be further adjusted by lifting and lowering. The requirements for rapid turning of back-burning of the transverse weld 7 and the longitudinal weld 6 can be met by lateral and longitudinal movement and 90° rotation around the vertical axis, and a large range of movement can be performed in the three directions of XYZ, which is quite advantageous for back-burning of large steel plates 8.

[0061] Furthermore, the third driving mechanism 2 includes a Y-direction moving mechanism 21, and the Y-direction moving mechanism 21 includes a longitudinal track 211 and a portal truss 212. The longitudinal track 211 can be a straight track. The portal truss 212 is provided with at least one driving wheel 213 that cooperates with the longitudinal track 211 in the longitudinal direction. The two driving wheels 213 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the portal truss 212, and a plurality of driven wheels 214 that cooperate with the longitudinal track 211 can be arranged in front and behind each driving wheel 213 to maintain the balance of the portal truss 212. The driving wheel 213 is driven by a motor, and then the portal truss 212 is driven to move along the longitudinal track 211 through the rotation of the driving wheel 213, so that the Y-direction moving mechanism 21 is responsible for the longitudinal movement of the entire back-burning system.

[0062] like Fig. 9 As shown, further, the third driving mechanism 2 includes an X-direction moving mechanism 22, and the X-direction moving mechanism 22 includes a transverse track 221 and a sliding member 222 that slide in the transverse direction. The transverse track 221 can adopt a T-slot track, and both ends are embedded in the limit slots 2121 of the door-type truss 212. The sliding member 222 can adopt a T-bar with ears 223. A polytetrafluoroethylene sheet can be arranged between the contact surface of the T-slot track and the T-bar to reduce sliding friction. Two traction mechanisms 224 are arranged in the transverse track 221. The traction mechanism 224 can adopt a motor winding device. A traction rope 225 is respectively arranged between the two traction mechanisms 224 and the two sides of the sliding member 222. The traction rope 225 can adopt a steel rope, and the T-bar can be pulled by any traction mechanism 224 through the steel rope to make the T-bar move laterally in the T-slot track, so that the X-direction moving mechanism 22 is responsible for controlling the lateral movement of the heating device 1.
