Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water filtration and treatment, and in particular to a high-strength aluminum alloy material and a welding device thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloy castings are widely used in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, and electronic communications due to their light weight, high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good thermal and electrical conductivity. In the automotive industry, aluminum alloy castings are used to manufacture engine parts, wheels, etc. to reduce the weight of the vehicle body and improve fuel efficiency. In the aerospace field, they are used to manufacture structural parts, shells, etc. to ensure the lightweight and high strength requirements of aircraft. However, during the production or use of aluminum alloy castings, defects may sometimes occur or need to be connected to other parts. At this time, the defective parts need to be welded.

[0003] In the prior art, TIG welding is mostly used to weld aluminum alloy castings to meet the requirements of connecting defective parts or positions connecting with other parts. When TIG welding is used, the welding torch head will spray inert gas to protect the torch head, and most TIG welding is done manually. After welding is completed, the welded aluminum alloy castings are often moved to an inspection station by mechanical transmission to inspect the welding quality.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, when the wall thickness of the aluminum alloy casting is relatively large, welding only on the outer wall may not be sufficient to provide an effective connection effect. When the wall thickness of the aluminum alloy casting is relatively large and the shape is relatively complex, it is difficult to weld the inner and outer walls of the aluminum alloy casting at the same time by manual operation, and after welding, the aluminum alloy casting needs to be moved to the inspection station for inspection, which is relatively troublesome, so improvements are made.

When the mounting rod drives the first arc-shaped mounting plate to move, the second arc-shaped mounting plate can be moved synchronously and maintain the same rotational angular velocity as the first arc-shaped mounting plate, thereby achieving the same rotational angular velocity between the first welding gun and the second welding gun, and the inner and outer walls of the spherical part can be welded at the same time, thereby improving the welding efficiency.

If the welding of the aluminum alloy casting is incomplete and there are gaps, since the inert gases used by the first welding gun and the second welding gun are inconsistent, and the Tesla coil can make different inert gases emit visible light of different colors, the color of the inert gas will change during the process of the air pump exhausting the inside of the spherical part. At this time, the signal output of the photosensor can be used to determine whether the welding of the aluminum alloy casting is complete.

[0020] Optionally, a rubber layer is provided on the surfaces of the first hemispherical cover, the second hemispherical cover, the first semi-column cover and the second semi-column cover that contact each other.

The second driving motor 71 is arranged on the mounting frame 1. The driving gear 772 is arranged on the output shaft of the second driving motor 71. The driving gear 772 and the toothed disc 771 are meshed with each other.

[0038] The third drive motor 773 is started and drives the drive gear 772 to rotate. Since the drive gear 772 and the toothed disc 771 are meshed with each other, the third drive motor 773 can drive the cylinder 11 on the toothed disc 771 to rotate. Since the blocking plate 12 is arranged on the telescopic end of the cylinder 11 and the mounting column 13 is arranged on the blocking plate 12, the rotation of the mounting column 13 is realized, so the first welding gun 14 can be rotated in the horizontal direction.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting mechanism 8 includes a first electromagnet 81, a second electromagnet 82, a first arc-shaped mounting plate 83, a second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 and an adjusting component 85. The first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 is arranged at the end of the mounting rod 74 away from the rotating column 72, and is sleeved on the first welding gun 14. The first electromagnet 81 is arranged on the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83. The second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 is slidably arranged between the first hemispherical cover 4 and the spherical portion 21, and is sleeved on the second welding gun 15. The second electromagnet 82 is arranged on the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84. The first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 are started, and the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 attract each other. When the first electromagnet 81 moves, the second electromagnet 82 moves synchronously under the action of magnetic force. The adjusting component 85 is arranged on the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 and the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84, and is used to adjust the distance between the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 and the aluminum alloy casting 2 before welding.

[0040] The first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 are started, and the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 attract each other, so that the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 is adsorbed on the outer wall of the spherical portion 21 through the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82. When the mounting rod 74 drives the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 to move, the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 can be moved synchronously and maintain the same rotational angular velocity as the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83, so as to achieve the same rotational angular velocity between the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15, and the inner and outer walls of the spherical portion 21 can be welded at the same time, thereby improving the welding efficiency. The adjustment component 85 can adjust the distance between the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 and the aluminum alloy casting 2, so as to avoid damage to the gun heads of the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 during welding.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment component 85 includes a first ball 851, a second ball 852, a magnet 853, an electric telescopic rod 854 and a third ball 855. The first ball 851 is arranged on a surface of the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 away from the mounting rod 74, the second ball 852 is arranged on a surface of the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 close to the spherical portion 21, and the third ball 855 is arranged on a surface of the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 away from the spherical portion 21. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 854 is arranged on the mounting rod 74, and the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 is arranged on the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 854. A telescopic column 856 is arranged between the third ball 855 and the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 and between the electric telescopic rod 854 and the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83. A spring 857 is sleeved on the telescopic column 856. The magnet 853 is embedded in the inner wall of the first hemispherical cover 4, which is used to adsorb and fix the third ball 855 after welding is completed.

[0042] When the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 and the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 are moving, the first ball 851 can reduce the friction between the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 and the inner wall of the spherical portion 21, and the second ball 852 can reduce the friction between the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 and the outer wall of the spherical portion 21, so that the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 can be driven better, and a certain distance can be maintained between the gun tips of the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 and the aluminum alloy casting 2, thereby improving the welding effect and avoiding damage to the gun tips. The electric telescopic rod 854 can adjust the distance between the first welding gun 14 and the mounting rod 74, so as to facilitate the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 to be driven better. A ball 851 is in contact with the inner wall of the spherical portion 21, and a telescopic column 856 is provided between the third ball 855 and the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84. A spring 857 is sleeved on the telescopic column 856, which can make the third ball 855 abut against the inner walls of the first hemispherical cover 4 and the second hemispherical cover 5, thereby improving the stability of the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84. A telescopic column 856 is provided between the electric telescopic rod 854 and the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83, and a spring 857 is sleeved on the telescopic column 856, which can make the contact between the first ball 851 and the inner wall of the spherical portion 21 become elastic and release, so as to drive the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 more stably.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detection component 9 includes a Tesla coil 91, a photo sensor 92, a placement plate 93 and an air pump 94. The Tesla coil 91 is arranged in the placement groove and is arranged below the first welding gun 14. The placement plate 93 is arranged in the placement groove and is located between the first welding gun 14 and the Tesla coil 91. The photo sensor 92 is arranged on a side of the placement plate 93 close to the Tesla coil 91. An air hole is opened at the bottom of the placement groove. The air pump 94 is arranged on the sealing plate 12 and is used to evacuate the inside of the aluminum alloy casting 2 through the air hole.

[0044] The first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 will spray different inert gases to protect the gun heads during welding. When welding is completed, the Tesla coil 91 and the air pump 94 are started. The Tesla coil 91 can make the inert gas glow, and the air pump 94 can extract the gas inside the spherical part 21 through the air holes at the bottom of the placement groove. If the welding is complete and under the action of the air pump 94, the gas in the spherical part 21 is extracted and is in a vacuum state, the intensity of the inert gas glow caused by the Tesla coil 91 will gradually weaken until there is no light and no discharge. If the welding of the aluminum alloy casting 2 is incomplete and there are gaps, since the inert gases used by the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 are inconsistent, and the Tesla coil 91 can make different inert gases emit visible light of different colors, the color of the inert gas will change during the process of the air pump 94 exhausting the inside of the spherical part 21. At this time, the signal output of the photosensitive device 92 can be used to determine whether the welding of the aluminum alloy casting 2 is complete.

[0045] The implementation principle of a high-strength aluminum alloy material and a welding device thereof in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: When the inner wall of the aluminum alloy casting 2 needs to be welded, the aluminum alloy casting 2 is first conveyed to between the first hemispherical cover 4 and the second hemispherical cover 5 by the conveyor belt 3, the cylinder 11 is first started to make the blocking piece abut against the bottom of the cylindrical portion 22 of the aluminum alloy casting 2 so that the aluminum alloy component rises and separates from the conveyor belt 3, and the first driving motor 61 is started. The rotation of the screw rod 62 can drive the first semi-column cover 41 and the second semi-column cover 51 to approach each other, so that the first hemispherical cover 4 and the second hemispherical cover 5 cover the spherical portion 21 to form a closed space; The second drive motor 71 is started, and the second drive motor 71 drives the driving gear 76 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod can drive the first welding gun 14 to rotate in the vertical direction. Then the third drive motor 773 is started, and the third drive motor 773 drives the driving gear 772 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the mounting column 13 and the rotation of the first welding gun 14 in the horizontal direction, so that the first welding gun 14 can weld all positions on the inner wall of the spherical portion 21; When it is necessary to weld the outer wall of the aluminum alloy casting 2 at the same time, the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 are started, and the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82 attract each other, so that the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 is adsorbed on the outer wall of the spherical part 21 by the first electromagnet 81 and the second electromagnet 82. When the mounting rod 74 drives the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83 to move, the second arc-shaped mounting plate 84 can be moved synchronously and maintained at the same rotational angular velocity as the first arc-shaped mounting plate 83, so as to achieve the same rotational angular velocity between the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15, and the inner and outer walls of the spherical part 21 can be welded at the same time; When it is necessary to detect the welding quality, start the Tesla coil 91 and the air pump 94. The Tesla coil 91 can make the inert gas emit light, and the air pump 94 can extract the gas inside the spherical part 21 through the air holes at the bottom of the placement groove. If the welding is complete and under the action of the air pump 94, the gas in the spherical part 21 is extracted and is in a vacuum state, the intensity of the light emitted by the Tesla coil 91 will gradually weaken until there is no light and no discharge. If the welding of the aluminum alloy casting 2 is incomplete and there are gaps, since the inert gases used by the first welding gun 14 and the second welding gun 15 are inconsistent, and the Tesla coil 91 can make different inert gases emit visible light of different colors, the color of the inert gas will change during the process of the air pump 94 evacuating the inside of the spherical part 21. At this time, the signal output of the photosensor 92 can be used to determine whether the welding of the aluminum alloy casting 2 is complete.
