[0043] In the prior art, arc welding is the first step in the welding process, and the success of arc welding is directly related to the quality and efficiency of the entire welding process. However, in actual operation, if the appropriate arc starting parameters are not selected, it will often lead to various defects in the arc starting welding part, such as incomplete penetration at the arc starting position, inability to smoothly transition, unsightly forming, and high weld excess height, which seriously affect the strength and reliability of the welded joint.

[0044] To solve the above problems, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a ship welding process, the welding gun 2 is arranged on the robot arm, and the welding gun 2 is applied to a T-joint with a welding leg height of 5 mm using the ship welding process. The ship welding process includes the following steps:

[0045] S1 and welding gun 2 start arc welding according to the preset arc starting parameters; when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset arc starting parameters include the following parameters: arc starting current is 260A, arc starting voltage is 23.8V, and arc starting wire feeding speed is 11000mm / min; when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset arc starting parameters include the following parameters: arc starting current is 170A, arc starting voltage is 22V, and arc starting wire feeding speed is 5000mm / min; arc welding is performed according to the above preset arc starting parameters, which can ensure smooth transition of the weld leg at the arc starting welding part, ensure the aesthetics of the arc starting part, and the weld leg at the arc starting part is fully formed, thereby improving the strength and reliability of the weld leg.

[0046] S2, welding gun 2 performs standard welding according to preset welding parameters;

[0047] S3, welding gun 2 performs arc extinguishing welding according to preset arc extinguishing parameters;

[0048] In step S1, step S2 and step S3, the welding gun 2 swings according to preset swing parameters to form a weld foot with a weld foot height of 5 mm; the welding gun 2 on the robotic arm can swing during welding, and even if the groove changes, the welding gun 2 can cover the weld 11 when swinging, thereby ensuring the welding quality of the weld 11 and achieving the effect of correcting the weld 11.

[0049] The welding gun 2 on the robot arm of this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned ship welding process to form a T-joint with a weld foot height of 5 mm, ensuring the stable quality of the weld 11, and the welding speed is increased by more than 20% compared with manual welding.

[0050] Preferably, in step S2, when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset welding parameters include the following parameters: welding current is 280A, welding voltage is 27V, welding speed is 9.5mm / s, and wire feeding speed is 12000mm / min; when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset welding parameters include the following parameters: welding current is 180A, welding voltage is 23.5V, welding speed is 5mm / s, and wire feeding speed is 6400mm / min. The robot arm performs standard welding according to the above preset welding parameters, and can form a weld foot with a weld foot height of 5mm, and the weld 11 is of high quality, and can smoothly transition with the arc welding part, so that the hardness of the heat-affected zone meets the requirements, and the weld 11 is prevented from cracking.

[0051] Further, when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters include the following parameters: the swing form is "Z-shaped", the swing frequency is 1.5Hz, the swing amplitude is 2mm, 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 2Hz, the swing amplitude is 2.5mm, and the swing limit position dwell time is 0.6s. The above preset swing parameters are adopted for swing welding, and regular lateral swings are performed on the weld 11, so that the welding energy is more evenly distributed on the weld 11, thereby improving the uniformity of the weld 11. Swing welding can form a good fusion between the weld 11 and the welding plate 1, thereby improving the strength and stability of the welding.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when flat fillet welding is used, the preset swing parameters also include that the angle between the axis of the welding gun 2 and the horizontal plane is 45°, and the axis of the welding gun 2 is perpendicular to the weld 11; Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset swing parameters also include that the posture of the welding gun 2 is push welding, the angle between the axis of the welding gun 2 and the horizontal plane is 15°, and the axis of the welding gun 2 is located on the angle bisector of the angle between the two welding plates 1, wherein the two welding plates 1 are vertical, and the angle between the axis of the welding gun 2 and the two welding plates 1 is 45°. The appropriate angle of the welding gun 2 helps to reduce defects such as undercut and slag inclusion generated during welding, improve the forming quality of the weld 11 and improve welding efficiency.

[0053] Furthermore, in step S3, when flat fillet welding is adopted, the preset arc extinction parameters include the following parameters: arc extinction current is 220A, arc extinction voltage is 22V, and arc extinction wire feeding speed is 8000mm / min; when vertical fillet welding is adopted, the preset arc extinction parameters include the following parameters: arc extinction current is 155A, arc extinction voltage is 20V, and arc extinction wire feeding speed is 4500mm / min. Arc extinction welding is performed according to the above preset arc extinction parameters. The arc is stable during the arc extinction process, ensuring that the arc pit of the arc extinction welding part is filled, and preventing defects such as looseness, cracks, pores or slag inclusions from occurring in the arc extinction welding part.

[0054] Preferably, in step S1, step S2 and step S3, the welding part is sprayed with shielding gas, and the gas flow rate of shielding gas is 15L / min-25L / min. By spraying shielding gas, the weld 11 area can be isolated from oxygen and moisture in the air, thereby preventing oxidation and corrosion of high-temperature metal. This can not only maintain the metal composition and performance of the weld 11, but also reduce the generation of welding defects such as pores and cracks, and improve the corrosion resistance and durability of the weld 11. The shielding gas can also play a certain protective role on the welding gun 2, reduce equipment damage caused by high temperature and oxidation, and extend the service life of the equipment. In this embodiment, the shielding gas is CO2.

[0055] Further preferably, the shielding gas supply starts 1 second before arc welding, which can ensure that the air in the nozzle is exhausted, and the welding part is within the protection range of the shielding gas at the beginning of welding, reducing the impact of air on welding quality; the shielding gas supply ends 1.5 seconds after arc welding, and the shielding gas can cool and protect the welding point after welding stops. This embodiment improves the quality of the welding part while ensuring welding efficiency.

[0056] In this embodiment, the gap of the weld 11 between the two welding plates 1 is 0-2mm, and the thickness of the welding plate 1 is 3mm-16mm. Before welding, the area to be welded should be cleaned to ensure that there is no impurities such as oil, moisture, rust, etc. The welding wire in this embodiment uses a flux-cored wire with a diameter of 1.2mm.

[0057] This embodiment also provides a hull, which is welded and formed by the above-mentioned ship welding process, the weld 11 is formed to be qualified, the weld foot height is 5mm-6mm and meets the requirements, and the weld foot has no defects such as pores, undercuts, inclusions, cracks, etc. The robot adopts the above-mentioned ship welding process, which not only significantly improves the forming quality, but also increases the speed by more than 20% compared with the traditional welding method.

[0058] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in more detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include more other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
