With the development of technology, the types of welding have gradually diversified, mainly including arc, plasma beam, laser, stir friction welding, gas welding, etc., and welding grinding technology is an important part of production and processing, and its main purpose is to improve the quality and appearance of the weld.

[0003] Before welding, the processed groove must be polished to remove burrs, scale, oil stains, etc. at the processed groove; during the welding process, the positioning spot welding must be polished, the internal weld of the cylindrical pressure vessel must be polished, and the surface of each welding part during the cladding process must be polished and cleaned to prevent the generation of pores and surface oxides that affect the quality of the weld; after welding is completed, the weld is polished to make it smoothly transition with the parent material. Manual polishing has low manual polishing efficiency, high labor intensity, poor consistency of weld polishing, and poor polishing quality. The noise and dust generated by grinding and the sparks generated during the process cause harm to personnel. The generation of cracks during cladding has a serious impact on product quality, and the change state of the molten pool also has a certain impact on the quality of the weld. For the inside of the pressure vessel cylinder, incomplete penetration defects are prone to occur, and these defects cannot be found through appearance inspection. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a multifunctional pressure cylinder welding-grinding device to solve the problems of low manual grinding efficiency, poor grinding consistency of welds leading to poor grinding quality, noise and dust generated by grinding, and sparks generated during the process causing harm to personnel.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional pressure cylinder welding-grinding device, including a mechanical main arm 1, a telescopic connecting rod 2, an external weld grinding device 3, a molten pool detection camera 4, an infrared temperature detection device 5, a welding gun head 6, a cylindrical pressure vessel 8, a base device 9, a clamp 10, a telescopic shaft 11, an internal weld grinding device 12 and a visual and perception device 13.

Specific implementation plan

[0027] The present invention discloses a multifunctional pressure cylinder welding-grinding device. During the welding process, the molten pool is observed by a molten pool detection camera. Since the welding process is slow and it is difficult to ensure the preheating effect of the weld, an electromagnetic induction heating device is used for preheating treatment. At the same time, an infrared temperature detector is used to monitor the temperature of each weld so that the preheating temperature reaches the required temperature. In the welding cavity and when welding is completed, grinding treatment is performed by a grinding device.

[0028] The grinding of the internal weld of the cylindrical pressure vessel is achieved through the telescopic shaft, vision, sensing device and grinding wheel. The grinding part is identified and accurately located to make a smooth transition between the weld and the base material. Secondly, the generation of cracks in the cladding process has a serious impact on the quality of the product. Therefore, the interlayer temperature must be controlled, and the temperature of the weld area must be detected by an infrared detection device to prevent heat accumulation and huge stress. At the same time, a certain temperature range must be ensured during the welding process to preheat the subsequent welding process. The changing state of the molten pool also has a certain impact on the quality of the weld. The molten pool detection camera is used to monitor the molten pool in the welding process in real time, and the morphology of the molten pool, the position of the wire, the shape of the arc, and the inclusions and bubbles formed in the molten pool are monitored in real time.

The electromagnetic induction heating device 7 can preheat the weld, remove moisture from the weld surface, and reduce defects such as pores. Through infrared detection, the interlayer temperature during multiple welding passes is measured, and heat accumulation is prevented while ensuring preheating. When the interlayer temperature is 60°C, the next welding pass is carried out.

When cleaning before welding and locating the weld point, the angle range of the middle grinding wheel is 65° for the groove angle, and the applicable material thickness is 6mm. When cleaning before welding, the grinding wheel is in contact with the groove surface and the cylinder surface through the telescopic connecting rod, and the extension of the telescopic connecting rod is controlled to be 0.2mm, so as to achieve grinding and cleaning of the welded part.

[0035] The internal weld grinding device is connected to the base through a telescopic shaft. The outer side of the telescopic shaft is a cylindrical fixture 10, which can fix cylinders of different diameters (cylinder diameter is greater than the minimum diameter of the internal grinding wheel). The internal grinding wheel is also connected to the telescopic shaft 11 through a telescopic connecting rod, and the telescopic rod can be extended and retracted at the same time. After grinding a circle, the telescopic connecting rod is extended by 1.5mm at the same time until the weld and the base material are smoothly transitioned. The internal grinding wheel is as shown in the attached Figure 5 The visual and sensing device is connected to the grinding wheel device through a connecting rod to achieve real-time observation of the inner wall of the cylinder and precise positioning.

[0036] Through the detection device, the whole welding process is monitored in real time, potential problems are discovered and solved in time, and product quality and work efficiency are improved; at the same time, labor costs are reduced to avoid eye injuries of operators during work. Through the internal and external weld grinding device, the problems of low manual grinding efficiency, high labor intensity, poor grinding consistency of welds leading to poor grinding quality, noise and dust generated by grinding, and sparks generated during the process causing harm to personnel are solved, and the quality and appearance of welds are improved.
