Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of circumferential pipe welding technology, specifically to an automated internal circumferential weld system with multiple welding heads. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the welding of internal reinforcing ribs in round tank trucks is still mostly done manually, especially in the field of pressure vessel special vehicles, where there are many reinforcing ribs to weld. For example, a 52.6m³ LNG vehicle has as many as 55 welds. This is a huge workload for workshop welding work. From a traditional perspective, only by increasing the number of personnel can production efficiency be improved. However, the strength of the weld is an important indicator of the quality of ring pipe products.

This is not only labor-intensive and tiring, but also prone to errors after prolonged work, leading to welding deviations and reducing the quality of the annular pipe. To avoid these technical problems, it is indeed necessary to provide a multi-head automated inner annular seam welding system to overcome the aforementioned defects in the existing technology.

This ensures the welding stability of the telescopic welding machine, making it suitable for welding different annular pipes. Furthermore, extending the mounting rod to the appropriate length increases welding stability, improves welding quality, and further guarantees the quality of the annular pipe after welding.

[0046] A limiting seat 307 is installed on one side of the load-bearing plate 302. A movable three-phase motor 308 is installed on the inner side of the limiting seat 307. A drive gear 309 is connected to the transmission end of the movable three-phase motor 308. A driven tooth groove 310 is opened on the outer side of the mounting rod 1.

A material chamber 313 is formed between the partition plate 303 and the limiting groove plate 304.

[0047] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: First, the operator places the pipe to be internally welded onto the support rollers 217 on top of multiple movable plates 212. Then, according to the number of welds required, the operator can remove the telescopic welding machine 206 from the inside of the material chamber 313. Next, according to the position of the weld, the mounting plate 203 is placed inside the corresponding mounting hole 201. Then, using gaskets 204 and fixing screws 205, the mounting plate 203 and the telescopic welding machine 206 are fixed to the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove 202, thereby allowing multiple telescopic welds to be welded. The shrink welding machine 206 is placed in the corresponding position. Then, the operator controls the moving plate 212 to move the annular tube, so that the annular tube can still be moved to the outside of the mounting rod 1. Then, the positioning iron block 209 is rotated on the inside of the rotating seat 207 through the connecting rod 208. Then the support rod 210 can be supported on the ground. At this time, the electromagnet 211 is turned on, so that the positioning iron block 209 can be attracted and fixed by the electromagnet 211, so that the weld can be moved to the bottom position of the telescopic welding machine 206. At this time, the telescopic welding machine 206 can be moved to the weld position.

[0048] Next, the servo motor 218 inside the servo motor base 221 is started. At this time, the servo motor 218 can drive the support roller 217 to rotate, thereby driving the annular tube to rotate on the outside of the support roller 217. At this time, the telescopic welding machine 206 is controlled to weld the annular tube while rotating the annular tube, so that all the welds of the annular tube can be welded simultaneously and quickly. Multiple telescopic welding machines 206 can simultaneously weld the welds quickly and evenly, and the machine will not be fatigued, so it can continuously and accurately weld the welds, reducing the weld failure caused by worker fatigue, improving the weld quality, and ensuring the overall quality of the annular tube. Then, during welding, the sliding groove plate 216 can be slid on the outside of the slide rail 215 according to the diameter of the annular tube, so that the sliding groove plates 216 on both sides are slid to the corresponding positions. Then, the positioning screw 220 is passed through the sliding groove plate 216 and tightened into the inner side of the corresponding positioning thread hole 219, so that the sliding groove plate 216 can be fixed. At this time, annular tubes of different diameters can be processed, further improving the processing efficiency.

[0049] Finally, before welding the annular tube, the operator can slide the mounting rod 1 inside the limiting groove plate 304 according to the length of the annular tube. At this time, the inner moving three-phase motor 308 of the limiting seat 307 is activated, which drives the drive gear 309 to rotate. The drive gear 309 and the driven tooth groove 310 can drive the mounting rod 1 to slide inside the limiting groove plate 304. At this time, the mounting rod 1 can slide on the drag-reducing roller 306, so that the mounting rod 1 can be slid to the inner position of the annular tube. The extension length of the mounting rod 1 can be adjusted according to the length of the annular tube to prevent it from being too short to process multiple welds at the same time, and to prevent the mounting rod 1 from shaking due to being too long. This ensures the welding stability of the telescopic welding machine 206, which can be adapted to the welding of different annular tubes. After the mounting rod 1 extends to an appropriate length, it can increase the welding stability, improve the welding quality, and further ensure the quality of the annular tube after welding.
