Welded drums have the advantages of light self-weight and strong bearing capacity, with obvious performance advantages. However, welded drums have a large amount of welding work. Currently, single-wire submerged arc welding is generally used. And if there is a large gap in the welded joint, manual repair welding and filling are also required, which seriously restricts the production efficiency of products. Therefore, the existing welding methods need to be improved urgently.

[0004] For this reason, we provide a multi-machine collaborative welding method for thick plate drum grooves. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Among them, the SAW welding torch in the front is located 50 - 100 mm behind the MAG welding torch, and the welding current of the SAW welding torch in the front is 550 - 600 A.

[0020] Preferably, before MAG welding or SAW welding, use the vision sensor of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment to pre-scan the weld seam, and adjust the starting and ending positions and height of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment according to the weld seam information.

[0021] Preferably, the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment includes a support frame and a front and rear slide rail pair installed on one side thereof. The sliding part of the front and rear slide rail pair is provided with a vertical slide rail pair, and the sliding part of the vertical slide rail pair is provided with a left and right slide rail pair.

[0036] The present invention can be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", etc. indicating the orientation or positional relationship, it is only corresponding to the drawings of the present application for the convenience of describing the present invention; it should be understood that if there are terms such as "end", "side", "end part", "side part", "transverse", "longitudinal", etc. indicating the orientation or positional relationship, it is only corresponding to the length and width of the corresponding component, that is, the "end part" indicates the head and tail regions in the length direction of the corresponding component, and the "side part" indicates the head and tail regions in the width direction of the corresponding component; it is for the convenience of describing the present invention rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.

[0037] Embodiment 1, in combination with the attached Figures 1-4 , a multi-machine collaborative welding method for thick plate drum bevels, includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 1: Roll the thick plate into a drum section, and machine the weld to a Y-shaped bevel.

[0039] As required, the slope angle of the Y-shaped bevel is 60 ± 2°, and the root face length is 1 - 2 mm.

[0040] Specifically, use a plate rolling machine to roll the thick plate into a drum section.

[0041] Step 2: Place the drum section on the support frame 1 of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment, and ensure that the Y-shaped bevel is placed upward;

[0042] It should be noted that: when the weld is a circumferential weld, at this time, the drum only needs to be placed horizontally, and there is no need to rotate and adjust the angle of the drum.

[0043] As required, the support frame 1 includes two support wheel sets 11 arranged at intervals front and rear, and the support wheel set 11 has two support wheels 111 arranged at intervals left and right, that is, the drum section is stably supported by the two support wheel sets 11; specifically, the distance between the two support wheel sets 11 is set according to the axial length of the drum section. Preferably, the distance between the two support wheel sets 11 is 2 / 3 - 3 / 4 of the axial length of the drum section. Specifically, the support wheel set 11 also has a wheel frame for fixing the two support wheels 111.

[0044] As needed, the support wheel set 11 may also have a structure of a braking support wheel 111. In this way, the angle of the drum can be adjusted when the support wheel 111 is not braked, and the stability of the drum section can be ensured without rotation when it is braked.

[0045] Step 3: Paste a ceramic backing on the back of the Y-groove; ensure that a back weld is formed during the root pass welding. It should be noted that the ceramic backing itself has a groove structure that forces the weld formation. When the molten weld pool flows into the groove structure of the ceramic backing, it will solidify into the shape of the weld along with the shape of the groove.

[0046] Step 4: Adjust the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment according to the weld position;

[0047] Step 5: Use the MAG welding torch 6 of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment to weld the positions where the weld gap is greater than 1.5 mm.

[0048] As needed, the wire diameter of the MAG welding torch 6 is 1.2 mm, the welding current is 250 - 270 A, and the welding speed is 500 - 650 mm / min.

[0049] As needed, the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment includes a support frame 1 and a front-back slide rail pair 2 installed on one side of it. The sliding part of the front-back slide rail pair 2 is provided with a vertical slide rail pair 3, the sliding part of the vertical slide rail pair 3 is provided with a left-right slide rail pair 4, and an installation frame 5 is provided at the sliding part of the left-right slide rail pair 4 corresponding to one end of the support frame 1; the MAG welding torch 6 is installed on the installation frame 5.

[0050] As needed, to improve the practicability of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment, the installation frame 5 is rotatably arranged horizontally at the sliding part of the left-right slide rail pair 4.

[0051] Furthermore, the installation frame 5 is correspondingly connected to the sliding part of the left-right slide rail pair 4 through a rotating structure with a locking function, so that the installation frame 5 can rotate a certain angle when it needs to rotate and can ensure its fixed position when it does not need to rotate. The above rotating structure can adopt the structure of manually rotating the installation frame 5 in the existing technology, and can also be equipped with a power system to realize the function of automatically rotating the installation frame 5. For example, it includes a vertically arranged rotating rod, a sleeve sleeved outside the rotating rod, and a locking screw screwed on the body of the sleeve. The position of the rotating rod and the sleeve is fixed through the locking screw, where the rotating rod or the sleeve is fixedly connected to the installation frame 5, and the sleeve or the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the sliding part of the left-right slide rail pair 4.

[0052] Step 6: Use one SAW welding torch 7 in the front and two SAW welding torches 7 arranged in parallel at the rear of the multi-machine collaborative welding equipment to weld the weld simultaneously; among them, one SAW welding torch 7 in the front performs root pass welding, and the two SAW welding torches 7 at the rear perform filler welding;

[0053] As required, the wire diameter of one SAW torch 7 in the front is 4 mm, the current is 580 - 620 A, and the welding speed is 550 - 600 mm / min; the wires of the two SAW torches 7 in the rear are 2 mm, and the current is 360 - 390 A.

[0054] It should be noted that: since the SAW torch 7 in the front and the SAW torch 7 in the rear operate simultaneously, at this time, the welding speed of the SAW torch 7 in the rear is the same as that of the SAW torch 7 in the front.

[0055] As required, the three SAW torches 7 are distributed in a triangle and are all installed on the mounting frame 5; the distance between the SAW torch 7 in the front and the SAW torches 7 in the rear is 45 - 55 mm, and the gap between the two SAW torches 7 in the rear is 30 - 50 mm; in this way, the two SAW torches 7 in the rear can utilize the residual heat after welding by the SAW torch 7 in the front, and appropriately reduce the welding current of the two SAW torches 7 in the rear while ensuring the welding quality. The two SAW torches 7 in the rear are inclined 15 ± 2° towards the weld center; in this way, the distance between the two SAW torches 7 in the rear can be increased, so that the position of the molten pool on the base material accounts for about 2 / 3 of the molten pool, and the heat can be dissipated by relying on the base material to ensure the impact performance of the weld and the heat affected zone. It should be noted that: there is a certain relationship between the welding speed of the SAW torch 7 and the distance between the three SAW torches 7, as well as the inclination angle of the two SAW torches 7 in the rear, otherwise the following situations are likely to occur: 1. When the welding speed is higher than the limit value, the weld formation is likely to be poor and the root pass is likely to be incomplete; 2. When the welding speed is lower than the limit value, due to the triangular arrangement of the three SAW torches 7, heat concentration will occur, resulting in weld burn-through and excessive heat input per unit length, which will affect the mechanical properties of the weld. However, the inclined setting of the two SAW torches 7 in the rear utilizes the base material to dissipate heat and reduces the lower limit of the welding speed limit.

[0056] It should be noted that: the front and rear positions are defined according to the direction of the torch movement during the welding process; specifically, the direction of the torch movement is the front.

[0057] Step seven: Repeat step six until the groove filling welding is completed.

[0058] During operation, before performing the operation in step seven, according to the need, after the mounting frame 5 is rotated horizontally by a certain angle, the return process of the sliding part of the front and rear slide rail pairs 2 is completed to repeat the operation in step six.

[0059] Embodiment two, in combination with the attached Figures 1-4 , A multi-machine collaborative welding method for thick plate drum grooves, which is different from Embodiment one in that steps five and six in Embodiment one are combined and executed, so that the MAG torch 6 and the SAW torch 7 operate simultaneously.

[0060] At this time, the welding speed is: 550 - 600 mm / min.

[0061] In this embodiment, the SAW torch 7 is located 50 - 100 mm behind the MAG torch 6.

[0062] It should be noted that: Since the residual heat generated by the operation of the MAG torch 6 (the temperature at the weld will increase to a certain extent) will be utilized by the SAW torch 7 in front, the current input of the SAW torch 7 can be appropriately reduced while ensuring the welding quality. At this time, the welding current of the SAW torch 7 in front is 550 - 600 A, thus achieving the effect of energy saving.

[0063] It should be noted that: When step six is executed for the first time, step six is executed simultaneously with step five; for the subsequent repeated execution of step six, only the three SAW torches 7 operate, while the MAG torch 6 no longer operates.

[0064] Embodiment three, in combination with the attached Figures 1-4 A multi - machine collaborative welding method for thick - plate drum grooves is different from Embodiment one in that a vision sensor 8 is also installed at the position of the mounting bracket 5 in front of the MAG torch 6.

[0065] At this time, step five in Embodiment one is changed to: Use the vision sensor 8 of the multi - machine collaborative welding equipment to pre - scan the weld, adjust the starting and ending positions and height of the multi - machine collaborative welding equipment according to the weld information, and use the MAG torch 6 of the multi - machine collaborative welding equipment to weld the positions where the weld gap is greater than 1.5 mm.

[0066] In this embodiment, as needed, the MAG torch 6 can be installed on the mounting bracket 5 through a linear slide rail pair arranged in the left - right direction, and the left - right position of the MAG torch 6 can be adjusted in real - time through the position with a larger weld gap. Specifically, the multi - machine collaborative welding equipment also has a control system connected to the vision sensor 8, and through the interaction between the vision sensor 8 and the control system, the left - right position of the MAG torch 6 is adjusted in real - time.

[0067] It should be noted that: The adjustment of the left - right position of the MAG torch 6 is a small - distance adjustment, generally within a range of 5 mm, so the length of this linear slide rail pair does not need to be designed too long.

[0068] As needed, the MAG torch 6 can also be installed on the mounting bracket 5 through a swing device. When the MAG torch 6 is not in use, the height of the MAG torch 6 can be increased through the swing device. That is to say, when the SAW torch welding is repeatedly executed, the height of the MAG torch 6 is increased through the swing device. Of course, when the swing device is not equipped, the height of the MAG torch 6 can be increased manually.

[0069] Embodiment four, in combination with the attached Figures 1-4, a multi-machine collaborative welding method for thick plate reel bevels, which is different from the third embodiment in that a vision sensor 8 is also installed at the position of the mounting bracket 5 in front of the MAG welding torch 6.

[0070] Steps five and six in the third embodiment are combined and executed, so that the MAG welding torch 6 and the SAW welding torch 7 operate simultaneously.

[0071] At this time, the welding speed is: 550 - 600 mm / min.

[0072] In this embodiment, the SAW welding torch 7 is located 50 - 100 mm behind the MAG welding torch 6.

[0073] It should be noted that: Since the waste heat generated by the operation of the MAG welding torch 6 (the temperature at the weld will increase to a certain extent) will be utilized by the SAW welding torch 7 in front, the current input of the SAW welding torch 7 can be appropriately reduced while ensuring the welding quality. At this time, the welding current of the SAW welding torch 7 in front is 550 - 600 A, thus achieving the effect of energy saving.

[0074] It should be noted that: The above linear slide rail pairs all adopt existing equipment equipped with standby power sources, and no further description will be given here.

[0075] The parts not detailed in the present invention are prior art. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention; therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, aiming to include all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements within the present invention.
