Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding machine slag scraping devices, and in particular to an automatic slag scraping device for a submerged arc welding machine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of steel manufacturing, many steel structure components, such as large cylinders, will suffer various forms of wear on their outer surfaces during long-term use. The worn steel structure surface will not only affect its appearance quality, but more importantly, it will reduce its structural strength and service life. If the worn steel structure is scrapped and repurchased, it will increase production costs. Therefore, in order to restore the performance of the steel structure and reduce production costs, the usual practice is to first use a submerged arc welding machine to weld a layer of metal material with good performance on the outer surface of the steel structure to enhance the structural strength. After welding is completed, fine grinding and polishing are performed on the lathe to restore the surface of the steel structure to a flat and smooth state, thereby completing the renovation work. Compared with ordinary manual arc welding, the automatic submerged arc welding machine has the advantages of high production efficiency, good welding quality, energy saving and small welding deformation. During welding, a layer of granular flux is spread on the part to be welded, and the wire feeding mechanism automatically feeds the welding wire into the welding area. An arc is generated between the welding wire and the weldment, and the arc burns under the flux layer. The heat generated by the arc melts the edges of the welding wire and the weldment to form a molten pool. As the automatic submerged arc welding machine moves, the molten pool metal cools and solidifies to form a weld.

[0003] The automatic submerged arc welding machine will generate a large amount of welding slag during the multi-layer and multi-pass continuous welding operation. The welding slag needs to be cleaned in time. If the welding slag is not cleaned in time, the normal formation of the next weld cannot be guaranteed. Currently, the welding slag is cleaned manually using a slag cleaning rod.

[0004] However, during manual cleaning, since it completely relies on manual operation by workers, each welding slag needs to be handled carefully by workers, so the work efficiency is low. In the face of a large number of welding workpieces, in order to ensure the cleaning progress, more workers have to be deployed, resulting in a significant increase in labor costs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic slag scraping device for a submerged arc welding machine to solve the problems of low efficiency of manual cleaning of welding slag, cumbersome cleaning work, high demand for manpower, and increased labor costs.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the slag scraping rod is driven by a motor to automatically scrape the slag without manual operation, which greatly improves the scraping speed and improves work efficiency; at the same time, it reduces dependence on manual labor and reduces labor costs; in addition, the driving component drives the moving wheel to rotate, so that the device moves, which is convenient for automatic slag scraping operations on the welding workpiece.

Each scraping rod 7 is provided with a scraping head for scraping slag. The width of the scraping head is 3 times the normal weld width. The scraping head includes a rigid scraping head 701 and a flexible scraping head 702. The rigid scraping head 701 is made of steel, and the flexible scraping head 702 is a wire brush. The scraping rod 7 is threadedly connected with a joint 703, and the joint 703 is made of insulator material. The joint 703 is threadedly connected to the rigid scraping head 701 and the flexible scraping head 702. There is a gap between the rigid scraping head 701 and the weld of the workpiece, while there is no gap between the flexible scraping head 702 and the weld of the workpiece.

[0021] The bottom of the support frame 1 is rotatably connected with a driving shaft 8 and a driven shaft 9, respectively. Both ends of the driving shaft 8 and the driven shaft 9 are fixedly connected with a moving wheel 10. A track 101 for limiting the deviation of the moving wheel 10 is laid on the ground. The support frame 1 is provided with a driving assembly for driving the moving wheel 10. The driving assembly includes a support plate 110, a pulley 111 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 6, the support frame 1 and the support plate 110 are bolted, a support seat 112 is fixedly connected to the support plate 110, a worm 113 is rotatably connected to the support seat 112, and a worm 113 is rotatably connected to the worm 113.

[0022] The implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: when it is necessary to clean the welding slag of the submerged arc welding machine, firstly, the track 101 is laid beside the welding workpiece on the automatic submerged arc welding machine, and then the moving wheel 10 of the automatic scraping device of the submerged arc welding machine is clamped on the track 101, and then the two rigid scraping heads 701 are respectively aligned with the centers of the two starting welds of the welding workpiece, and then the nut 13 is rotated left and right by a wrench, so that the scraping rod 7 moves in the threaded hole 12, thereby adjusting the gap between the rigid scraping head 701 and the welding workpiece. After the gap is adjusted to the optimal state, the motor 2 is first started through the electrical control cabinet 4, and the motor 2 drives the high-speed shaft of the reducer 3 to rotate, and then the reducer 3 reduces the speed of the high-speed shaft and drives the transmission shaft 6 to rotate through the low-speed shaft of the reducer 3, and the transmission shaft 6 drives the two scraping rods 7 to rotate, and the rigid scraping head 701 on the scraping rod 7 scrapes off the welding slag. When the rigid scraping head 701 fails to completely clean the welding slag, the flexible scraping head 702 that rotates immediately thereafter further thoroughly cleans the welding slag left on the weld. At the same time, as the transmission shaft 6 rotates, the pulley 111 on the transmission shaft 6 drives the pulley 2 114 to rotate through the belt 115, the pulley 2 114 drives the worm 113 to rotate, and the worm 113 drives the worm wheel 117 meshing therewith to rotate. Whenever the worm wheel 117 rotates one circle, the gear 2 119 on the worm wheel 117 meshes with the gear 1 118 on the driving shaft 8, so that the driving shaft 8 rotates a little, and then disengages. When the worm wheel 117 rotates one more circle, the gear 2 119 on the worm wheel 117 meshes with the gear 1 118 on the driving shaft 8 again, so that the driving shaft 8 rotates a little more. In this way, the moving wheel 10 moves intermittently on the track 101 in a cycle, thereby realizing automatic scraping operation.

[0023] When the moving speed of the moving wheel 10 on the track 101 does not match the welding speed of the submerged arc welding machine, the speed of the motor 2 is adjusted by the frequency converter 16. When the diameter of the welding workpiece is large and the welding time of the submerged arc welding machine is long, the speed of the motor 2 is slowed down by the frequency converter 16. When the diameter of the welding workpiece is small and the welding time of the submerged arc welding machine is short, the speed of the motor 2 is increased by the frequency converter 16 to adapt to different slag scraping requirements.

[0024] When the automatic scraping device has finished scraping the last weld, the motor 2 is turned off and the automatic scraping device is moved to a placement location.
