Description

Technical Field

[0002] During the welding process of bridge steel structure, it is necessary to weld the corrugated plate and the I-beam. Multiple corrugated plates are overlapped between two I-beams along the length direction of the I-beam. The end plate of each corrugated plate is located on the upper wing plate of the I-beam. After the adjacent corrugated plates are overlapped and welded, the corrugated plates are temporarily positioned, and the end plates are welded to the I-beam. After the end plates of multiple corrugated plates are connected, they have a considerable length with the I-beam. During the welding process, it is necessary to ensure the continuity of the weld as much as possible, so as to ensure the overall connection strength between the corrugated plate and the I-beam. There are multiple shear nails welded vertically on the upper wing plate of the I-beam. After the shear nails are welded to the I-beam, some of the shear nails may have a small deflection during the stress release process. At the same time, the shear nails may also have a small deflection due to bumps during transportation, which will cause the distance between the shear nails and the end plates to be reduced. The shear nails may interfere with the welding gun. The corresponding position of the deflected shear nails cannot be welded, and later welding is required, which reduces the welding continuity.

The driving slide bar 1012 is also constructed with a limiting groove adapted to the second slide bar 1034 to limit the movement of the second slide bar 1034 relative to the driving slide bar 1012 in the length direction of the driving slide bar 1012 when the driving slide bar 1012 contacts the second slide bar 1034.

[0048] When working, you can refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.10When the front of the vehicle body 200 encounters the skewed shear nail, the vehicle body 200 is stopped at a predetermined position, and the driving slide bar 1012 is controlled to rotate forwardly. The driving slide bar 1012 can drive the second slide bar 1034 to move during the forward rotation, so that the movable seat 103 can rotate on the sliding column 1021. At the same time, due to the existence of the strip slide groove 1031 and the limiting groove, the movable seat 103 can slide along the length direction of the strip slide groove 1031 at the same time, so that the end of the welding gun 500 on the movable seat 103 can enter under the skewed shear nail at the same level, and the end of the welding gun 500 can weld the I-beam and the end plate. After the welding is completed, the driving slide bar 1012 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, and the movable seat 103 is on the elastic member 10 32 is reset under the action of the elastic force of the sliding rod 1022, and the sliding rod can drive the first sliding rod 1022 to move during the reverse rotation process, and at the same time drive the vehicle body 200 forward, and the first sliding rod 1022 can drive the end of the welding gun 500 to move when sliding in the arched slide groove, and the end of the welding gun 500 has an arc path, and the end of the welding gun 500 can pass over the skewed shear nail to achieve obstacle avoidance function, and stop the vehicle body 200 at the second predetermined position. After the first sliding rod 1022 slides to the end of the arc segment of the arched slide groove 1011, it quickly returns to the other end of the arc segment under the action of the elastic reset member 1014. At this time, the end of the welding gun 500 corresponds to the weld at the skewed shear nail, and the I-beam beam and the end plate are continued to be welded by the welding gun 500 to make the weld continuous.

[0049] The welding device for bridge I-beams and end plates provided in the embodiment of the present application, when encountering a deflected shear nail that causes the distance between the shear nail and the end plate to be too small to allow the welding gun 500 to pass through, drives the sliding rod 1012 to drive the second sliding rod 1034 to rotate, so that the movable seat 103 can rotate on the sliding column 1021, and at the same time, the movable seat 103 and the sliding column 1021 move relative to each other, thereby changing the angle between the overall welding gun 500 and the vertical, and the end of the welding gun 500 is translated in the horizontal direction so that the welding gun 500 can enter between the deflected shear nail and the end plate, and then the position corresponding to the deflected shear nail can be corrected. Welding of the I-beam and the end plate; after the welding is completed, the driving slide bar 1012 rotates in the opposite direction, and the movable seat 103 is reset under the elastic force of the elastic member 1032, and the driving slide bar 1012 drives the first slide bar 1022 to slide in the arched slide groove 1011, so that the end of the welding gun 500 has an arc path, so that after the vehicle body 200 moves forward, the welding gun 500 can pass over the skewed shear nails to achieve rapid obstacle avoidance. The welding interval at the corresponding position of the skewed shear nails is short, that is, the previous solder has not been completely solidified, and the weld structural characteristics before and after this position are basically similar, which ensures the welding quality on the one hand, and ensures the welding continuity between the I-beam and the end plate on the other hand.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle body 200 is a hollow structure as a whole, and welding equipment and other necessary electrical components / equipment are installed on the bottom plate of the vehicle body 200; the mounting seat 101 is connected to the lower bottom surface of the bottom plate, and the mounting seat 101 is in the shape of a square plate structure. The mounting seat 101 can be connected to the base through a linear module, and the plate surface of the mounting seat 101 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the bottom plate. Driven by the linear module, the mounting seat 101 can be driven away from / close to the vehicle body 200, thereby realizing the overall rise or fall of the obstacle avoidance welding mechanism 100, and then realizing the adjustment of the initial position height of the welding gun 500. An arched slide groove 1011 is provided on one of the plate surfaces of the mounting seat 101. In the working state, the straight part of the arched slide groove 1011 is horizontal, and the driving slide rod 1012 is located directly below the arched slide groove 1011. The length direction of the driving slide rod 1012 is parallel to the plate surface of the fixed seat 102, and the driving slide rod 1012 is configured with a power source capable of driving its rotation, such as a motor.

[0051] In the present application embodiment, Figure 7~Figure 8 As shown, the fixed seat 102 is a plate structure as a whole, and the fixed seat 102 and the mounting seat 101 are arranged in parallel and at intervals. The first slide bar 1022 is a circular rod, one end of which is vertically connected to the fixed seat 102, and the other end is located in the arched slide groove 1011 to form a sliding fit with the arched slide groove 1011, wherein the groove wall of the arched slide groove 1011 is provided with necessary limiting guide grooves to prevent the first slide bar 1022 from escaping from the arched slide groove 1011, and at the same time, the first slide bar 1022 maintains a vertical relationship with the bottom of the arched slide groove 1011; the elastic reset member 1014 can be set as a coil spring, and the two ends of the elastic reset member 1014 are circular ring structures, one end of which is connected to the plate surface of the fixed seat 102, and the other end is sleeved on the first slide bar 1022 so that the first slide bar 1022 can rotate freely relative to the elastic reset member 1014.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6The movable seat 103 is a plate-shaped structure, and a strip-shaped slide groove 1031 is provided on the surface of the movable seat 103. The strip-shaped slide groove 1031 is slidably matched with the sliding column 1021 to enable the movable seat 103 to slide freely relative to the fixed seat 102. At the same time, the movable seat 103 can freely rotate around the axis of the sliding column 1021 during the free sliding process. The second slide bar 1034 is a circular rod, one end of which is vertically connected to the surface of the movable seat 103. The second slide bar 1034 and the second slide bar 1034 are arranged at intervals, and the driving slide bar 1012 passes between the first slide bar 1022 and the second slide bar 1034, so that the driving slide bar 1012 can rotate with the first slide bar 102 when rotating forward or reverse. 2 or the second slide bar 1034 contacts each other to drive the first slide bar 1022 or the second slide bar 1034 to move; the driving slide bar 1012 is vertically connected to the limit block 1013, and an arc-shaped groove is set on the end surface of the limit block 1013 as a limit groove, which is adapted to the shape of the second slide bar 1034. The driving slide bar 1012 cooperates with the second slide bar 1034 through the limit groove to achieve contact, so that when the driving slide bar 1012 drives the second slide bar 1034 to move, the position of the second slide bar 1034 in the length direction of the driving slide bar 1012 will not change, which means that at this time the driving slide bar 1012 can drive the movable seat 103 to slide on the fixed seat 102.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the sliding force of the movable seat 103 relative to the fixed seat 102 is realized by the component force of the driving slide bar 1012 acting on the second slide bar 1034. After the driving slide bar 1012 rotates a certain angle, the movable seat 103 can slide a certain distance on the fixed seat 102. By configuring the elastic modulus / stiffness coefficient of the elastic member 1032, the sliding speed of the movable seat 103 on the fixed seat 102 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the horizontal translation action of the end of the welding gun 500.

[0054] In some optional embodiments, the arched slide groove 1011 includes an arc segment and a straight segment, and the mounting seat 101 is also rotatably connected with a guide arc plate 1017, which is located at one end of the straight segment and can be rotated into the arc segment.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the curvature radius of the guide arc plate 1017 is adapted to the curvature radius of the inner wall of the arc segment, which means that the guide arc plate 1017 can be regarded as an extension of the arc segment, and the guide arc plate 1017 can play a certain limiting role on the first slide bar 1022. When the first slide bar 1022 is initially driven to move, the guide arc plate 1017 can play a limiting role on the first slide bar 1022 to prevent the first slide bar 1022 from entering the straight segment or getting stuck at the junction of the straight segment and the arc segment. The guide arc plate 1017 can be rotatably connected to the fixed seat 102 via a rotating shaft, and a torsional elastic member such as a torsion spring can be configured between the guide arc plate 1017 and the fixed seat 102, so that when the first slide bar 1022 returns to the initial position from the straight section, the guide arc plate 1017 is driven to rotate and the guide arc plate 1017 can be restored to its original position. Since the first slide bar 1022 is restored to the initial position, that is, the junction of the straight section and the arc section, by the elastic force of the elastic reset member 1014, the first slide bar 1022 will generate a certain vibration when it returns to the initial position. The setting of the guide arc plate 1017 can also reduce the vibration time of the first slide bar 1022 at the initial position.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, a first magnetic adsorption portion is provided on the inner wall of one end of the arc segment, and a second adsorption portion corresponding to the first magnetic adsorption portion is provided on the first slide bar 1022 so that the first slide bar 1022 is adsorbed and positioned when at one end of the arc segment.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the provision of the first adsorption portion and the second adsorption portion can play a positioning role on the first slide bar 1022, ensuring the stable state of the welding gun 500 during the welding process. At the same time, as mentioned above, the first adsorption portion and the second adsorption portion can also reduce the vibration time when the first slide bar 1022 returns to the initial position, so that the first slide bar 1022 is quickly stabilized, and the welding gun 500 can weld in time after passing the inclined shear nail, thereby ensuring the continuity of the weld.

[0058] When the first slide bar 1022 is driven by the driving slide bar 1012 to move, the fixed seat 102 and the movable seat 103 are maintained in a state by their own gravity, that is, when the first slide bar 1022 is driven to slide in the bow-shaped slide groove 1011, the fixed seat 102 and the movable seat 103 use their own gravity to make the first slide bar 1022 rotate around its own axis, but the sliding speed of the first slide bar 1022 cannot be too fast, otherwise it will cause the fixed seat 102 and shake significantly. In order to allow the first slide bar 1022 to have a relatively fast sliding speed, in some optional embodiments, a posture stabilizing mechanism is connected to the mounting seat 101, and the posture stabilizing mechanism includes a slide rail 1015 and a guide slide bar 1016; the slide rail 1015 is connected to the mounting seat 101; one end of the guide slide bar 1016 is slidably matched with the slide rail 1015, and the other end is connected to the fixed seat 102, and the guide slide bar 1016 is configured as a telescopic rod.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the length direction of the slide rail 1015 is parallel to the straight section, and the arc section is located between the slide rail 1015 and the straight section. When the first slide bar 1022 slides in the arc section, the first slide bar 1022 can drive the guide slide bar 1016 to retract and extend and at the same time make the guide slide bar 1016 slide on the slide rail 1015. The setting of the guide slide bar 1016 can maintain the state of the fixed seat 102 so that the fixed seat 102 will not shake randomly, thereby ensuring that the welding gun 500 has a stable posture. In this way, the first slide bar 1022 can slide at a relatively fast speed in the bow-shaped slide groove 1011, thereby improving the obstacle crossing efficiency, reducing the interval time between two weldings at the corresponding position of the deflected shear nail, and ensuring the continuity of the weld.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of balls are arranged on the first slide bar 1022 through a groove locking ball process, and the balls are in contact with the groove wall of the arcuate slide groove 1011. This arrangement can improve the sliding smoothness of the first slide bar 1022 in the arcuate slide groove 1011 and avoid the first slide bar 1022 from getting stuck in the arcuate slide groove 1011.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the sliding column 1021 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 103, wherein a stabilizing rod 1033 is connected inside the strip slide groove 1031, and both ends of the stabilizing rod 1033 are respectively connected to the two ends of the length direction of the strip slide groove 1031, and the stabilizing rod 1033 radially moves through the sliding column 1021, and the elastic member 1032 is configured as a coil spring and is sleeved on the stabilizing rod 1033.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the stabilizing rod 1033 can limit the elastic member 1032, prevent the elastic member 1032 from unexpectedly deforming and providing unexpected elastic force, ensure the vertical position of the welding gun 500 is more accurate, and guarantee the welding quality.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, the wheels include at least four first wheels 300 and at least four second wheels 400. The first wheels 300 and the second wheels 400 are respectively located on both sides of the vehicle body 200 to respectively cooperate with the end plates on both sides. The first wheels 300 and the second wheels 400 are both connected to the vehicle body 200 through a two-axis manipulator.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the two-axis manipulator can drive the first wheel 300 or the second wheel 400 to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the I-beam or in the vertical direction. If there is a height difference or a spacing difference between two adjacent end plates, the two-axis manipulator can drive the first wheel 300 or the second wheel 400 to move to realize the off-track function, thereby ensuring that the vehicle body 200 can smoothly switch between the two adjacent end plates.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, the first wheel 300, the second wheel 400 and the two-axis manipulator are rotationally connected, and a torsion spring is arranged between the first wheel 300, the second gear and the two-axis manipulator.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the first wheel 300 and the second wheel 400 can rotate to a certain extent to adapt to the situation where the straightness of a single end plate is insufficient, that is, relative to the I-beam, the length direction of the end plate forms a certain angle with the I-beam. At this time, the two-axis manipulator and the rotating adaptive end plate of the first wheel 300 or the second wheel 400 can prevent the first wheel 300 or the second wheel 400 from getting stuck with the end plate.

[0067] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a welding method for a bridge I-beam and an end plate, which is implemented based on any welding device for a bridge I-beam and an end plate in the first aspect, and includes the following contents:

[0068] A first distance between the welding gun 500 and the end plate is preset. When the welding gun 500 and the end plate are at the first distance, the distance between the end of the welding gun 500 and the position to be welded is the expected welding distance.

[0069] The second spacing between the shear stud and the end plate is obtained in real time, and the second spacing is the minimum spacing between the shear stud profile and the end plate surface. In actual implementation, a camera can be installed on the vehicle body 200, and the image of the shear stud and the end plate in front of the vehicle body 200 can be taken, and the minimum spacing between the shear stud profile and the end plate surface can be calculated using a contour algorithm.

[0070] When the first spacing is greater than the second spacing, it means that if the welding gun 500 moves along the length direction of the I-beam, there will be interference between the welding gun 500 and the shear pins, that is, the shear pins whose second spacing is smaller than the first spacing are skewed shear pins, which makes the driving slide bar 1012 rotate in the positive direction to drive the welding gun 500 to rotate and weld the I-beam and the end plate, that is, the end of the welding gun 500 can translate along the length direction of the I-beam, and the overall length direction of the welding gun 500 is changed from the original vertical to form an angle with the length direction of the I-beam. Of course, the car body 200 is paused during the rotation of the welding gun 500.

[0071] The driving slide bar 1012 is rotated in the reverse direction to drive the first slide bar 1022 to slide in the arched slide groove 1011 and drive the vehicle body 200 forward at the same time.

[0072] When the vehicle body 200 reaches the predetermined position, the driving force of the driving slide rod 1012 is canceled, and then the I-beam and the end plate are welded.

[0073] When the first slide bar 1022 slides in the arched slide groove 1011, the motion trajectory of the end of the welding gun 500 is a combination of an arc and a straight line. When the welding gun 500 completes a stroke and returns to the initial position, since the car body 200 is moving forward synchronously, the initial position is equivalent to a translation distance along the length direction of the I-beam. When the welding gun 500 returns to the initial position, the end of the welding gun 500 just corresponds to the end of the weld welded last time, so that the welding gun 500 can weld the I-beam and the end plate in time.
