Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hull welding, and in particular to an automatic welding device and a welding method for a transverse butt weld of an FPSO hull. Background Art

[0002] Offshore floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSO) are key facilities for offshore oil development. The FPSO hull is usually a comprehensive large-scale offshore oil production base, integrating oil and gas separation, oily wastewater treatment, power generation, heating, storage and transportation of crude oil products. The FPSO hull has the advantages of strong wind and wave resistance, wide adaptability to water depths, large oil storage / unloading capacity, and transferability and reuse.

[0003] The transverse butt weld used in FPSO refers to the process of connecting two steel plates together by welding in the hull structure. This weld is often used for the splicing of two steel plates and is a very important part of the hull structure because it is directly related to the strength and watertightness of the hull. In practical applications, the welding process of the transverse butt weld needs to consider multiple factors, including the thickness of the plate, welding method, groove design, etc. For thicker plates, double-sided grooves are generally required to ensure full penetration during welding. The groove angle is usually between 40° and 60°, and the cross-sectional shapes of the groove are V-shaped, U-shaped, X-shaped, K-shaped, etc. The main welding methods are arc welding and gas welding. Among them, arc welding is the most widely used in ship repair due to its high efficiency and convenience.

[0004] The transverse butt weld of the FPSO hull refers to a transverse butt weld. This weld is to align the edges of two steel plates and connect them horizontally to form a straight weld. In shipbuilding, this weld is usually used to connect the transverse components of the hull, such as the bottom plate, the side plate, etc., to ensure the structural integrity and strength of the hull. Steel is the most commonly used metal material in shipbuilding. In the process of welding the two steel plates of the transverse groove, since the groove of the steel plate is not cut on site but processed before, the steel plate is easily corroded due to contact with the air, and the rust will affect the stability of the steel plate welding. In the welding process, some steel plates are not horizontal. Through horizontal movement welding, there will be a problem that the welding head cannot fit the weld well, resulting in a problem of loose welding.

The automatic welding device for FPSO hull transverse butt weld according to claim 8, characterized in that: A moving groove (10) is formed at one end of the transverse rod (8), one end of the moving rod (11) extends into the moving groove (10), and a compression spring (12) is fixedly installed between the moving rod (11) and the inner wall of the moving groove (10).

10. An automatic welding method for FPSO hull transverse butt weld according to any one of claims 1 to 9, the method comprising: Step 1: During the process of welding the hull, the mobile bottom plate (3) of the welding equipment is pushed to one side of the hull steel plate (1), and the overall position is adjusted so that the welding head (14) is located on one side of the weld. The height adjustment component provided can adjust the height of the crossbar welding head (14) according to the height of the weld, and has strong adaptability. After the adjustment, the weld can be welded; Step 2: During welding, the mobile base plate (3) is moved by the device to realize mobile welding operation. The rust on the connecting groove (2) can be polished by the polishing disc (25) on the polishing assembly, so that the welded part is smoother and flatter, which is beneficial to the stability after welding and avoids rust on the welded part, which affects the welding quality. Step 3: A blower assembly is provided, wherein the blower (31) generates strong blows, which are transported through the pipe (32) and finally blown out from the air outlet (34) to blow away the debris and rust generated by grinding, thereby preventing the debris and rust from being left at the position of the connecting groove (2), making the connecting groove (2) cleaner and ensuring the quality of subsequent welding; Step 4: During the welding process, a groove limiting assembly is provided, and two sets of groove limiting rollers (17) on the groove limiting assembly are respectively located at two sides of the welding head (14) to achieve guidance and limiting, so that the welding head (14) can always be aligned with the weld position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weld welding; Step 5: A contact adaptive adjustment component is set up. During the welding process, the two contact rollers (21) on the contact adaptive adjustment component can always be in contact with the surface of the hull steel plate (1). Through the push of the extrusion spring (12), adaptive movement adjustment can be achieved, so that the welding head (14) is always located on one side of the weld, and the welding is more accurate.
