[0003] After retrieval, it is found that the Chinese patent with the application number 201610396529.9 discloses "an electron beam welding method for tubes and tube sheets in a titanium alloy heat exchanger. The tubes and tube sheets assembled with a tooling are fixed on the rotating table of an electron beam welding machine. The rotating table is located on an XY workbench, and the XY workbench includes an X track and a Y track perpendicular to each other. The center coordinates of the tube to be welded are (x1, y1), and the center coordinates of the rotating table are (x0, y0). First, move the XY workbench to make the center of the electron gun located at the position of (x1 + R + L, y1). Then, adjust the electron gun to move its beam spot to (x1 + R, y1). Next, while the rotating table rotates uniformly, adjust the XY workbench to make the rotating table move along the X track and the Y track to keep the center of the tube to be welded at the position of (x1, y1) and rotate uniformly, and weld the connection between the tube to be welded at the position of (x1 + R, y1) and the tube sheet with an electron gun with a fixed emission position and direction".

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1: In the present invention, argon gas is filled within the sealing shell to wrap the weld seam, thereby providing protection during argon arc welding of the weld seam, avoiding the phenomenon that the weld seam absorbs hydrogen when heated and is prone to brittle cracking in the later stage. By using two sealing shells to completely seal the weld seam between the tube plate and the titanium alloy tube, it is possible to prevent hydrogen in the external air from being absorbed by the weld seam during welding, isolate the hydrogen in the external air from the weld seam, avoid the phenomenon that the weld seam absorbs hydrogen when heated, and by using two sealing shells to seal the weld seam and using argon gas to wrap the weld seam, the weld seam is completely surrounded by argon gas, providing protection for the weld seam with argon gas and improving the welding quality during argon arc welding of the weld seam.

[0019] 2: In the present invention, two sealed shells are used to completely seal the weld seam. At the same time, the parts of the tube sheet and the titanium alloy tube that are heated by welding are also sealed within the two sealed shells. This allows the parts of the titanium alloy tube that are heated by welding during welding to be within the sealed shells and protected by the argon gas inside the sealed shells, avoiding hydrogen absorption and brittle cracking at the parts of the titanium alloy tube that are heated during welding, and improving the comprehensiveness of the protection for the weld seam welding.

[0020] 3: In the present invention, the fan blade blows the argon gas towards the L-shaped guide plate. The guide flow channel on the side of the L-shaped guide plate can then guide the argon gas. Thus, the argon gas fanned by the fan blade is guided to the position where the argon arc welding gun head is welding through the L-shaped guide plate and the guide flow channel, thereby guiding the argon gas so that the guided argon gas blows argon on the part where the argon arc welding gun head is welding. While fully ensuring that the weld seam is fully protected by argon gas during the welding of the argon arc welding gun head, the argon gas flow formed by the fanned argon gas blows and cools the welding area, avoiding overheating of the weld seam welding area and causing grain growth in the welding zone, which affects the welding quality.

[0021] 4: In the present invention, the alumina grinding wheel performs a circular grinding treatment on the weld seam, which can grind and remove the oxide scale on the surface of the weld seam, ensuring the cleanliness before welding of the weld seam, improving the later welding effect. The alumina grinding wheel comes into contact with the water-absorbing sponge, and thus the alumina grinding wheel dips into the acetone inside the water-absorbing sponge. By repeating the grinding step of the alumina grinding wheel, the acetone dipped by the alumina grinding wheel can be smeared on the weld seam when it rubs against the weld seam. Then, the acetone is used to clean the oil stain on the weld seam, ensuring the cleanliness before welding of the weld seam. Just after the oxide scale on the weld seam is ground off by the alumina grinding wheel and the oil stain on the weld seam is removed by smearing acetone, after the weld seam is cleaned, welding treatment can be carried out on the weld seam in a timely manner. This can complete the welding of the weld seam in a fully clean state, thereby ensuring that the weld seam is in a clean state during welding and improving the welding quality of the weld seam.

[0044] As a technical optimization solution of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes a first fixing plate 3 and a second fixing plate 4 symmetrically installed on the top of the bottom plate 1.

Installation holes 2 are provided on the bottom plate 1. The collection box 12 can facilitate the collection of the welded tube sheet 15 and titanium alloy tube 16.

[0046] When the present invention is in use and it is necessary to weld the titanium alloy tube 16 to the tube sheet 15, first, the conveyor belt of the peripheral device is used to convey the tube sheet 15 to the middle position between the two sealing shells 26. The first motor 5 is started, and the output shaft of the first motor 5 drives the left - and - right - hand threaded bidirectional lead screw 6 to rotate, causing the two internal - threaded blocks 8 to move closer to each other. The two internal - threaded blocks 8 moving closer to each other drive the two fixing frames 19 to move closer to each other, and further cause the two sealing shells 26 to move closer to each other to clamp the tube sheet 15. The two sealing shells 26 moving closer to each other can be used to clamp and fix the titanium alloy tube 16 conveyed to the middle of the two sealing shells 26. After the titanium alloy tube 16 is clamped and fixed by the two sealing shells 26, the two first electric sliders 30 are started simultaneously. The first electric sliders 30 slide on the first guide rail 29 to adjust the position of the sealing shells 26, and further adjust the position of the tube sheet 15 clamped and fixed by the two sealing shells 26. The tube sheet 15 can be adjusted to be directly above the limiting strip 14. At this time, the two first electric telescopic rods 17 are started simultaneously. The piston rods of the two first electric telescopic rods 17 retract to drive the two sealing shells 26 to move downward, and further drive the tube sheet 15 clamped and fixed by the two sealing shells 26 to move downward. The tube sheet 15 can be moved downward into the limiting groove opened at the top of the limiting strip 14, thereby completing the automatic feeding process of the tube sheet 15.

[0047] After automatically feeding the tube sheet 15 into the limit groove opened at the top of the limit bar 14, start the first motor 5 again to make the two sealing shells 26 move away from each other until the distance between the two sealing shells 26 is greater than the length of the titanium alloy tube 16 and then stop. At this time, start one of the first electric sliders 30 to slide on the first guide rail 29, and one of the sealing shells 26 can be adjusted to the side of the titanium alloy tube 16 and stop when the opening 36 of one of the sealing shells 26 is concentric with the titanium alloy tube 16. At this time, start the first motor 5 again to make the two sealing shells 26 move closer to each other again, and one of the sealing shells 26 that is concentric with the titanium alloy tube 16 moves closer to the titanium alloy tube 16 until the titanium alloy tube 16 is inserted into the opening 36 of the sealing shell 26. At this time, start the first electric telescopic rod 17 connected to the sealing shell 26 to make the sealing shell 26 move upward, and then make the sealing shell 26 drive the titanium alloy tube 16 to move upward, lift the titanium alloy tube 16 from the loading rack 11 so that the titanium alloy tube 16 is separated from the loading rack 11, and use the cooperation of the first electric slider 30, the first guide rail 29 and the first electric telescopic rod 17 to adjust the sealing shell 26 connected with the titanium alloy tube 16 to the position where the titanium alloy tube 16 is concentric with the through hole of the tube sheet 15. At this time, start the first motor 5 to make the two sealing shells 26 move closer to each other, and then make the sealing shell 26 connected with the titanium alloy tube 16 move closer to the tube sheet 15 to insert the titanium alloy tube 16 into the through hole of the tube sheet 15, and make the titanium alloy tube 16 pass through the through hole of the tube sheet 15 and enter the opening 36 of the other sealing shell 26. And at this time, start the two second electric sliders 33 at the same time. The second electric sliders 33 slide on the second guide rail 32 to make the limit blocks 34 move closer to the tube sheet 15, and then use the limit blocks 34 to push the titanium alloy tube 16 so that the titanium alloy tube 16 is located between the two limit blocks 34, thus completing the removal of the titanium alloy tube 16 from the loading rack 11 and inserting the titanium alloy tube 16 into the through hole of the tube sheet 15.

[0048] After connecting the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube sheet 15, start the first motor 5 to make the two sealing shells 26 move closer to each other until the two sealing shells 26 contact the side of the tube sheet 15, and then make the weld between the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16 be located between the two sealing shells 26, and use the two sealing shells 26 to seal the weld between the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16.

[0049] At this time, the third motor 47 is started, and the output shaft of the third motor 47 drives the fourth mounting plate 48 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angles of the second electric telescopic rod 49 and the alumina grinding wheel 50, so that the angle of the alumina grinding wheel 50 can be adapted to the weld angle between the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16. At this time, starting the second electric telescopic rod 49 can make the alumina grinding wheel 50 approach the weld between the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16 until the alumina grinding wheel 50 contacts the weld. At this time, the third electric slider 38 and the vacuum cleaner 24 are started simultaneously. The third electric slider 38 slides on the third guide rail 37 and makes a circumferential movement around the opening 36, thereby driving the alumina grinding wheel 50 to perform a circular grinding process on the weld, and the scale on the weld surface can be ground off to ensure the cleanliness before welding and improve the later welding effect. At the same time, the suction end of the vacuum cleaner 24 adsorbs and collects the waste chips ground off by the alumina grinding wheel 50 through the second corrugated pipe 25 and the suction port 28, and the waste chips generated by the alumina grinding wheel 50 grinding the weld can be uniformly collected into the vacuum cleaner 24.

[0050] And while the alumina grinding wheel 50 is grinding the weld, the second motor 44 can be started. The output shaft of the second motor 44 drives the fan blade 45 to rotate. The wind blown by the fan blade 45 is guided by the guide flow channel 55 on the L-shaped guide plate 54 to the contact part between the alumina grinding wheel 50 and the weld, thereby blowing the waste chips generated when the alumina grinding wheel 50 grinds the weld, and the waste chips generated when the alumina grinding wheel 50 grinds the weld can be blown up, which is convenient for the suction port 28 to adsorb and collect the waste chips.

[0051] After the scale on the weld surface is ground off, by using the third motor 47 and the second electric telescopic rod 49 in cooperation again, the alumina grinding wheel 50 can be made to contact the water-absorbing sponge 57, so that the alumina grinding wheel 50 dips into the acetone in the water-absorbing sponge 57, and by repeating the grinding steps of the alumina grinding wheel 50, the acetone dipped by the alumina grinding wheel 50 can be rubbed with the weld and applied to the weld, thereby using acetone to clean the oil stain at the weld and ensuring the cleanliness before welding.

[0052] At this time, the first electronic valve in the jet nozzle 23 and the second electronic valve in the air outlet hole 27 are started. The argon gas in the argon gas cylinder 21 passes through the first corrugated pipe 22, the jet nozzle 23 and the jet hole 58 and enters the sealing shell 26. And based on the principle that the density of argon gas is greater than that of hydrogen gas, when argon gas is introduced into the sealing shell 26, the density of the argon gas introduced into the sealing shell 26 is greater than that of hydrogen gas. The argon gas in the sealing shell 26 is at the bottom of the sealing shell 26, and then the hydrogen gas in the sealing shell 26 is squeezed out through the air outlet hole 27. Thus, the sealing shell 26 is filled with argon gas. And when the sealing shell 26 is filled with argon gas, the second electronic valve in the air outlet hole 27 is closed, which can make the sealing shell 26 filled with argon gas. Using the argon gas filled in the sealing shell 26 to wrap the weld seam, and then providing protection during the argon arc welding of the weld seam, avoiding the weld seam from absorbing hydrogen when heated and being prone to brittle cracking in the later stage. Using two sealing shells 26 to completely seal the weld seam between the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16 can prevent the hydrogen in the outside air from being absorbed by the weld seam during welding, can isolate the hydrogen in the outside air from the weld seam, avoid the weld seam from absorbing hydrogen when heated during welding, and using two sealing shells 26 to seal the weld seam and using argon gas to wrap the weld seam make the weld seam completely surrounded by argon gas, providing protection for the weld seam with argon gas, improving the welding quality during the argon arc welding of the weld seam, and using two sealing shells 26 to seal the weld seam can also prevent the weld seam from being affected by external factors during welding and affecting the welding effect.

[0053] And using two sealing shells 26 to completely seal the weld seam, and at the same time sealing the parts of the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16 that are heated due to welding in the two sealing shells 26 can make the parts of the titanium alloy tube 16 that are heated due to welding during welding also be in the sealing shell 26 and be protected by the argon gas in the sealing shell 26, avoiding brittle cracking caused by the parts of the titanium alloy tube 16 being heated during welding and absorbing hydrogen, and improving the comprehensiveness of the protection for the weld seam welding.

[0054] After the weld seam is cleaned, start the third motor 47 to rotate the argon arc welding gun head 52 to an angle adapted to the weld seam, start the third electric telescopic rod 51, and then make the argon arc welding gun head 52 move closer to the weld seam until it stops when the argon arc welding gun head 52 reaches the preset distance from the weld seam. At this time, start the third electric slider 38. The third electric slider 38 slides on the third guide rail 37 to make the argon arc welding gun head 52 perform circumferential welding around the weld seam. Thus, the weld seam can be welded in one go. During the welding process of the weld seam, there is no need to pause to complete the welding treatment of the weld seam, and the weld seam is welded in one go, improving the welding quality of the weld seam.

[0055] When welding the weld seam, the second motor 44 is started. The output shaft of the second motor 44 drives the fan blade 45 to rotate, which fans the argon gas ejected from the air injection hole 58. The fan blade 45 fans the argon gas towards the L-shaped guide plate 54, and the guide flow channel 55 on the side of the L-shaped guide plate 54 can guide the argon gas. Then, the L-shaped guide plate 54 and the guide flow channel 55 are used to guide the argon gas fanned by the fan blade 45 to the position where the argon arc welding gun head 52 is welding. Further guiding the argon gas, so that the guided argon gas blows argon gas on the part where the argon arc welding gun head 52 is welding. While fully ensuring that the weld seam during the welding of the argon arc welding gun head 52 is fully protected by argon gas, the argon gas flow formed by the fanned argon gas is used to blow and cool the welding area, avoiding overheating of the weld seam welding area and affecting the welding quality due to grain growth in the welding area.

[0056] Moreover, the rotation of the fan blade 45 can fan the argon gas in the sealed shell 26, making the argon gas evenly distributed in the sealed shell 26, so that all angles in the sealed shell 26 are filled with argon gas. The rotating fan blade 45 can be used to fan the argon gas to achieve the stirring effect of the argon gas, making the argon gas evenly distributed in the sealed shell 26 and ensuring that all angles in the sealed shell 26 are filled with argon gas.

[0057] When using the argon arc welding gun head 52 to weld the weld seam, the oxidation scale of the weld seam is just removed by the alumina grinding wheel 50, and acetone is applied to remove the oil stain at the weld seam. After the weld seam is cleaned, the welding treatment of the weld seam can be carried out in time. It can complete the welding of the weld seam in a fully clean state, thereby ensuring that the weld seam is in a clean state during welding, improving the welding quality of the weld seam. At the same time, using two sealed shells 26 to seal the whole welding process can make the weld seam complete welding under the full protection of argon gas, and using the sealing of the weld seam can also prevent external dust and impurities from falling and adhering to the just-welded weld seam, affecting the welding quality.

[0058] When welding the weld seam, two sealed shells 26 are used to seal the weld seam. The two sealed shells 26 can be used to support the titanium alloy tube 16, so that the titanium alloy tube 16 is in a horizontal state when welding with the tube plate 15, ensuring that the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube plate 15 are perpendicular to each other when welding, avoiding the skew welding of the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube plate 15, improving the welding accuracy between the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube plate 15. And using two limit blocks 34 to clamp and fix both ends of the titanium alloy tube 16 can make the titanium alloy tube 16 be fixed between the two limit blocks 34 during welding. The limit groove at the top of the limit strip 14 fixes the tube plate 15, so that both the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube plate 15 are fixed during welding, improving the stability during the welding of the titanium alloy tube 16 and the tube plate 15.

[0059] After the tube sheet 15 and the titanium alloy tube 16 are welded, start the first motor 5 again to make the two sealing shells 26 disengage from the tube sheet 15, and use the first electric slider 30 to slide on the first guide rail 29 so that the two sealing shells 26 are located between the limiting strip 14 and the loading rack 11. At this time, start the first motor 5 again to make the two sealing shells 26 contact each other, and then make the first electric slider 30 slide on the first guide rail 29 again, so that the two mutually contacting sealing shells 26 can push the welded tube sheet 15 and titanium alloy tube 16, and then push the welded tube sheet 15 and titanium alloy tube 16 from the limiting groove into the collection box 12 to complete the unloading process of the welded tube sheet 15 and titanium alloy tube 16.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
