Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the existing large-diameter stainless steel rocket tank manufacturing process, there are several major difficulties in manufacturing stainless steel head melon segments. First, the secondary clamping is difficult to control: the melon segment itself is a stainless steel plate with an elliptical arc shape. The plate is thin and has low rigidity. The secondary clamping is prone to deformation, which causes the gap of the assembly weld to change, resulting in reduced welding accuracy. Second, the dimensional accuracy of a single melon segment and the dimensional accuracy of the melon segment butt welding assembly are high: the stainless steel head is large in size, and the melon segment plate is very thin, so the melon segment shape retention is high. Third, the manufacturing process is complicated. Therefore, the welding of melon segments and heads can usually only be done by online cutting and online welding.

[0059] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides a welding device for a stainless steel rocket tank, comprising: a support base 1-6, a melon slice rotating support assembly, a melon slice inner tube 1-1, a top cover inner tube 1-12, and a lifting shaft 1-16. The melon slice rotating support assembly is disposed on the support base 1-6 to support the melon slice inner tube 1-1 and the bottom of the melon slice. The melon slice inner tube 1-1 has a profile that matches the inner side of the melon slice and supports the inner side of the melon slice to weld the longitudinal seam of the melon slice. The lifting shaft 1-16 is disposed in the middle of the support base 1-6. The top cover inner tube 1-12 is fixedly disposed on the lifting shaft 1-16. The top cover inner tube 1-12 is used to support the top cover to weld the melon slice ring and the top cover.

[0060] The welding equipment of this embodiment can be applied to the production of elliptical heads by online cutting and online welding (such as laser penetration welding). The welding equipment first sequentially cuts and welds several longitudinal seams of the melon petals to manufacture melon petal rings or melon petal segments, then cuts the butt joint edges of the top cover and the melon petal segments, and finally butts the top cover with the melon petal rings to complete the welding of the butt joint seams, thus completing the manufacture of the elliptical head. The welding equipment can control the shape and size of the melon petal segments and the top cover to prevent their deformation, improve the weld performance, and streamline the manufacturing process of the elliptical head. In addition, the welding equipment can complete the cutting and welding of the melon petals with one clamping, thus avoiding the deformation of the melon petals caused by the secondary clamping of the melon petals.

[0061] In this embodiment, the end surface of the melon segment inner tube supporting the melon segment can be an arcuate surface that matches the inner surface of the melon segment. Multiple melon segment inner tubes can be provided along the circumference of the melon segment rotation support assembly, with each segment inner tube corresponding to each melon segment. For example, a melon segment ring made by welding 16 melon segments can be provided with 16 melon segment inner tubes.

[0062] Furthermore, a plurality of (for example, 16) supporting legs 1-7 are provided along the circumferential direction of the lower end surface of the supporting base 1-6, and the supporting legs 1-7 are used to support the supporting base 1-6.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice rotating support assembly can rotate around the circumferential direction of the support base 1-6, driving the melon slice inner tube 1-1 and the melon slice to rotate, so as to weld the melon slice into a melon slice ring.

[0064] The welding equipment of this embodiment, by providing a melon slice rotating support assembly that can rotate around a support base, can achieve welding of all melon slice longitudinal seams without moving the positions of the welding equipment and the cutting equipment, thereby ensuring the consistency of weld quality.

[0065] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a melon segment inner tube lower pressing mechanism 1-3 is provided along the circumferential direction of the melon segment rotating support assembly. The melon segment inner tube lower pressing mechanism 1-3 includes a lower pressing drive cylinder 1-3-1 and a lower pressing block 1-3-2. The lower pressing drive cylinder 1-3-1 is extended and retracted to drive the lower pressing block 1-3-2 toward or away from the melon segment, thereby fitting the bottom of the melon segment to the melon segment inner tube 1-1 or releasing the melon segment.

[0066] The welding equipment of this embodiment can make the melon slice (especially the lower part of the melon slice) fit to the melon slice inner tube through the melon slice inner tube lower pressing mechanism, thereby improving the cutting and welding assembly accuracy of the melon slice. The lower pressing block is used to press the end face of the melon slice, and can be an arc-shaped surface that matches the outer side surface of the melon slice. The melon slice rotating support assembly can be provided with multiple melon slice inner tube lower pressing mechanisms 1-3 along its circumferential direction. For example, for each melon slice, three melon slice inner tube lower pressing mechanisms 1-3 can be provided accordingly, so that the lower part of the melon slice can be better fitted to the melon slice inner tube, ensuring the assembly accuracy of cutting and welding.

[0067] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 5, according to one embodiment of the present invention, below the top cover inner tube 1-12, the lifting shaft 1-16 is provided with an upper pressing mechanism base 1-14, and the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 is provided with a melon slice upper pressing mechanism 1-2 along its circumferential direction. The melon slice upper pressing mechanism 1-2 includes an upper pressing drive cylinder 1-2-2 and an upper pressing block 1-2-3. The upper pressing drive cylinder 1-2-2 is telescopically driven to drive the upper pressing block 1-2-3 toward or away from the top of the melon slice, thereby pressing the top of the melon slice against the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 or releasing the melon slice to weld the longitudinal seam of the melon slice.

[0068] The welding equipment of this embodiment can press the melon slices (especially the upper part of the melon slices) to the upper pressing mechanism base through the melon slice upper pressing mechanism, thereby improving the cutting and welding assembly accuracy of the melon slices. The upper pressing block is used to press the end face of the melon slice, and can be an arc-shaped surface that matches the outer side surface of the melon slice. A plurality of melon slice upper pressing mechanisms 1-2 can be set along the circumferential direction of the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14. For example, two melon slice upper pressing mechanisms 1-2 can be set for each melon slice, so that the upper part of the melon slice can be better fitted to the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of cutting and welding.

[0069] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper clamping mechanism base 1-14 is rotatably connected to the lifting shaft 1-16, so that the melon slice inner tube can drive the melon slice to rotate around the lifting shaft 1-16 to complete the welding of the melon slice segment.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the upper clamping drive cylinder 1-2-2 and the upper clamping block 1-2-3, the melon slice upper clamping mechanism 1-2 also includes an upper clamping mounting base 1-2-1 and an upper clamping lever 1-2-4. The upper clamping mounting base 1-2-1 is arranged on the upper clamping mechanism base 1-14, and in the vertical direction, the upper clamping mounting base 1-2-1 is provided with an upper clamping drive cylinder 1-2-2. The two ends of the upper clamping lever 1-2-4 are respectively connected to the upper clamping drive cylinder 1-2-2 and the upper clamping block 1-2-3. When the upper clamping drive cylinder 1-2-2 is extended or retracted, the upper clamping block 1-2-3 can be driven toward or away from the top of the melon slice by the upper clamping lever 1-2-4 using the lever principle, so as to clamp the top of the melon slice to the upper clamping mechanism base 1-14 or release the melon slice to weld the longitudinal seam of the melon slice.

[0071] In this embodiment, a plurality of melon slice upper pressing mechanisms 1-2 can be provided for each melon slice, so that the upper part of the melon slice can be better pressed against the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 or the upper pressing mounting base 1-2-1, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of the melon slice cutting and welding. The upper pressing mounting base 1-2-1 is used to support or fit the supporting end surface of the upper part of the inner side surface of the melon slice, and can be an arc-shaped surface or an ellipsoidal surface that matches the upper part of the inner side surface of the melon slice. The upper pressing mounting base 1-2-1 is used to support or fit the supporting end surface of the upper part of the inner side surface of the melon slice, and is tangent to the end surface of the melon slice inner tube used to support the inner side surface of the melon slice, so that the connection between the upper pressing mounting base and the melon slice inner tube is matched with the inner side surface of the melon slice, so as to better prevent the melon slice from being squeezed and deformed.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the support base 1-6, the melon segment rotation support assembly, the melon segment inner tube 1-1, the top cover inner tube 1-12, and the lifting shaft 1-16, the welding device also includes a melon segment outer pressing component 2. The melon segment outer pressing component 2 is used to press the melon segment against the melon segment inner tube 1-1 from the outer side of the melon segment.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 is provided with a melon segment outer tire upper pressing mechanism along its circumferential direction. The melon segment outer tire upper pressing mechanism can have the same structure as the melon segment upper pressing mechanism 1-2. The melon segment outer tire upper pressing mechanism is used to press the upper portion of the melon segment outer pressing component 2 against the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 or the upper pressing mounting base 1-2-1 to ensure assembly accuracy during melon segment cutting and welding.

[0074] In this embodiment, for each melon slice, the upper pressing mechanism base 1-14 can be provided with at least one melon slice outer tire upper pressing mechanism. The melon slice outer tire upper pressing mechanism can be spaced apart from the melon slice upper pressing mechanism 1-2.

[0076] In this embodiment, the top cover pressing outer tire 1-8 can be provided with a plurality of top cover pressing mechanisms 1-8-1 along its circumferential direction. The top cover pressing blocks of the top cover pressing mechanisms 1-8-1 are used to press the end surface of the top cover, and the portion of the top cover pressing blocks used to press the top cover can be arc-shaped to match the top cover.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the top cover pressing tire 1-8 is provided with a plurality of (for example, 12) reinforcing plates 1-8-2 along its circumference to reinforce the strength of the top cover pressing tire 1-8.

[0081] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the top cover inner tube 1-12 is provided with a positioning guide column 1-12-4, and the top cover pressing outer tube 1-8 is provided with a guide positioning circular hole 1-8-5 corresponding to the positioning guide column 1-12-4.

[0082] like Figure 2 and 9 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 is provided, which is rotatable about a lifting shaft 1-16. Near the melon slice inner tube 1-1, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 is provided with an arcuate groove adapted to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice. The arcuate groove is used to provide shielding gas to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice, thereby protecting the seam during welding.

[0083] In this embodiment, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 can be rotatably arranged relative to the lifting shaft 1-16, so that the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 can be displaced 180 degrees relative to the melon slice inner tube 1-1 or the melon slice, thereby providing protective gas for the welding of each melon slice longitudinal seam.

[0084] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 includes a melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5, which is rotatably mounted on the lifting shaft 1-16.

Near the melon slice inner tube 1-1, the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 is provided with an arcuate back protection groove 1-13-3-1 that is adapted to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice. When welding the longitudinal seam of the melon slice, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 rotates relative to the lifting shaft 1-16 until the arcuate back protection groove 1-13-3-1 rotates to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice to be welded, and welding shielding gas is provided.

[0085] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped back protection groove 1-13-3-1 adapted to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice can be set to be 10 mm wide and 20 to 30 mm deep.

[0086] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 can move along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, so that the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 can rotate in the space surrounded by the melon slice inner tube to provide protective gas for the welding of different melon slice longitudinal seams.

[0087] In this embodiment, for example, along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 can move relative to the lifting shaft 1-16, so that the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3 and the arc-shaped back protection groove 1-13-3-1 can move along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, thereby facilitating the rotation of the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 within the space surrounded by the melon slice inner tube. Alternatively, along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 is relatively fixed to the lifting shaft 1-16, and the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3 and the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 can be slidably arranged, so that the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3 drives the arc-shaped back protection groove 1-13-3-1 to move along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, thereby facilitating the rotation of the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 within the space surrounded by the melon slice inner tube.

[0089] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2 is movable along the axial direction of the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 to drive the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3 and the arc-shaped back protection groove 1-13-3-1 to move along the axial direction of the lifting shaft 1-16, so as to facilitate the rotation of the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 in the space surrounded by the melon slice inner tube.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 can be slidably arranged relative to the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2 along the radial direction of the melon slice rotation support assembly, so that the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 and the arc-shaped back protection groove 1-13-3-1 are close to or away from the melon slice inner tube 1-1, which facilitates the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 to rotate in the space surrounded by the melon slice inner tube, or provide protective gas for the melon slice longitudinal seam welding.

[0091] In this embodiment, for example, along the radial direction of the melon slice rotating support assembly, a linear guide rail is set on the upper end face of the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2, and a guide groove compatible with the linear guide rail is set on the lower end face of the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3, and the guide groove is sleeved on the linear guide rail to enable the melon slice welded back protection bracket 1-13-3 to slide relative to the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2.

[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 further includes a melon slice back protection motor and a melon slice back protection outer cylindrical meshing gear 1-13-1 fixedly mounted on the lifting shaft 1-16. A melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 meshes with the melon slice back protection outer cylindrical meshing gear 1-13-1. When the melon slice back protection motor is activated, it drives the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 to rotate relative to the melon slice back protection outer cylindrical meshing gear 1-13-1 around the lifting shaft 1-16.

[0093] In this embodiment, for example, the melon slice back protection motor can be set on the melon slice back protection sleeve 1-13-5 or the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2.

Near the melon slice inner tube 1-1, the melon slice cutting back protection bracket 1-13-4 is provided with an arc-shaped protective groove 1-13-4-1 that aligns with the longitudinal seam of the melon slice. When the longitudinal seam of the melon slice is cut, the melon slice back protection mechanism 1-13 rotates relative to the lifting shaft 1-16 until the arc-shaped protective groove 1-13-4-1 rotates to the longitudinal seam of the melon slice to be welded, preventing cutting slag from falling into the welding equipment.

[0097] In this embodiment, for example, the melon slice cutting back protection bracket 1-13-4 and the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 can be symmetrically or approximately symmetrically arranged. The structures of the melon slice cutting back protection bracket 1-13-4 and the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 can be the same or approximately the same.

Along the radial direction of the melon slice rotation support assembly, the melon slice welding back protection bracket 1-13-3 and the melon slice cutting back protection bracket 1-13-4 can both be slidably arranged relative to the melon slice back protection base 1-13-2. The arc-shaped protection groove 1-13-4-1 can be set to a width of 30 mm and a groove depth of 30 to 50 mm.

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the opposite end surfaces of two adjacent upper pressing mounting bases 1-2-1 can be 60 to 80 mm to avoid components such as arc grooves.

The melon segment bottom cylindrical section 1-1-2-1 can be fixed to the inner tube frame 1-1-1 by screws or welding. The melon segment transition section 1-1-2-3 can be made of non-metallic materials, such as plastic, to reduce the overall weight of the welding equipment. The melon segment transition section 1-1-2-3 can be fixedly connected to the inner tube frame 1-1-1 by screws and screw holes. For example, the melon segment transition section 1-1-2-3 and the inner tube frame 1-1-1 are provided with four corresponding threaded holes, and the melon segment transition section 1-1-2-3 is fixed to the inner tube frame 1-1-1 by four screws. The melon segment elliptical upper section 1-1-2-4 can be made of metal material. The melon segment elliptical upper section 1-1-2-4 can be fixed to the inner tube frame 1-1-1 by screws or welding.

[0143] According to one embodiment of the present invention, baffles 1-1-2-5 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner tube outer mold 1-1-2. The baffles 1-1-2-5 are used to protect the inner tube outer mold 1-1-2 when cutting or welding melon slices.

[0144] In this embodiment, the baffle 1-1-2-5 can block the spatter generated when cutting or welding the melon slices. The baffle 1-1-2-5 can be made of copper. The baffle 1-1-2-5 can be fixedly connected to the inner tube outer mold 1-1-2 by screws.

[0145] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a laser cutting groove 1-1-2-6 is provided on the cylindrical section 1-1-2-1 at the bottom of the melon slice along the circumferential direction of the welding equipment to cut the cutting position of the lower end of the melon slice.

[0146] In this embodiment, the laser cutting groove 1-1-2-6 can be set to a width of 20 to 40 mm and a groove depth of 30 mm.

[0147] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one positioning pin 1-1-2-2 is provided at the lower end of the inner tube outer mold 1-1-2 (e.g., the cylindrical section 1-1-2-1 at the bottom of the melon slice). The positioning pin 1-1-2-2 is used to dock with the lower end of the melon slice to position the melon slice.

[0148] The welding equipment of this embodiment can position the melon segments, assist in cutting and welding the longitudinal seams of the melon segments, and control the shape and dimensional accuracy of the melon segments.

[0149] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the welding equipment further includes a limit frame 1-15, which is fixedly mounted on the lifting shaft 1-16. The limit frame 1-15 is arranged below the bottom mounting seat 1-16-1-4 to limit the lifting range of the lifting shaft 1-16 and support the bottom mounting seat 1-16-1-4.
