Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel box girder welding, and in particular to a steel box girder welding device and a welding method. Background Art

[0002] Stiffeners are auxiliary components in steel box girders, used to enhance the bearing capacity of the top plate, bottom plate and web. U-shaped ribs, as longitudinal stiffeners, have good torsional resistance and stiffening effects, which help reduce stress concentration and fatigue damage in bridge structures, and improve the durability, overall stability and safety of bridges.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN116852014B discloses a bidirectional welding device for a U-shaped rib of a steel box girder top plate, comprising: a welding platform, the welding platform is used to support the steel box girder top plate and the U-shaped rib; a slide, the slide is connected to both sides of the welding platform and is used to move a gantry; a welding gun, two of the welding guns are connected under the gantry and arranged on both sides of the U-shaped rib; a local positioning unit, the local positioning unit comprises a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate and an adjustment frame, the first clamping plate is horizontally arranged, and two of the second clamping plates are arranged on both sides of the first clamping plate to form a clamping surface adapted to the U-shaped rib.

[0004] The above patent clamps the U-shaped rib by placing the first clamping plate against the top surface of the U-shaped rib and the two second clamping plates against the side surfaces of the U-shaped rib. During welding, as the gantry moves, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate move on the U-shaped rib to maintain stability at the welding position.

[0005] However, in the actual implementation process, since the first and second clamps are always in contact with the U-shaped ribs, sliding friction will occur between the first and second clamps and the U-shaped ribs as they move with the gantry, which will cause wear on the U-shaped ribs. On the other hand, since the U-shaped ribs may deform during welding, when the first and second clamps pass through the deformation site, the movement of the gantry will be blocked, and the movement process will not be smooth, so that the movement process of the welding gun installed on the gantry will not be smooth, affecting the quality of the weld. If the first and second clamps are separated from the U-shaped ribs and welding is suspended when the gantry moves, the weld will be discontinuous, affecting the welding quality.

[0006] Therefore, the art needs a steel box girder welding device and a welding method to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

In addition, the clamping plate of the clamping assembly is equipped with a track.

By setting the speed at which the track drives the clamping assembly to move along the side of the U-shaped rib to be completely synchronized with the travel speed of the gantry, the sliding friction between the track and the side wall of the U-shaped rib is avoided. This design enables the clamping plate to continuously and stably clamp the side wall of the U-shaped rib during the process of the gantry pulling the welding gun to continuously weld the U-shaped rib, while avoiding the wear of the U-shaped rib caused by sliding friction, further ensuring the smooth movement of the gantry and the continuous progress of the welding operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a steel box girder welding device of the present invention includes a platform 1, a mobile frame arranged on the platform 1, and a welding mechanism arranged on the mobile frame. The mobile frame includes a gantry 2 and a walking wheel 21 arranged at the bottom of the gantry 2, and the walking wheel 21 is connected to a driving motor (not shown in the figure). A walking groove 11 for the walking wheel 21 to move is opened on the platform 1, and the driving motor drives the walking wheel 21 to drive the gantry 2 to move along the extension direction of the walking groove 11. When welding the U-shaped rib 3 of the steel box girder, the arrangement direction of the U-shaped rib 3 is the same as the extension direction of the walking groove 11, and the extension direction of the walking groove 11 is defined as the front-to-back direction, that is, the extension direction of the U-shaped rib 3 is the front-to-back direction.

[0044] The mobile frame is provided with a carrier frame 4, on which a rolling assembly and a driving assembly 1 for driving the rolling assembly to contact the top surface of the U-shaped rib 3 of the steel box beam are provided. The carrier frame 4 is provided with two clamping assemblies symmetrically distributed on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3 and a driving assembly 2 for driving the clamping assembly to contact the two side surfaces of the U-shaped rib 3. The clamping assembly includes a mounting frame 5 and a clamping plate 51 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5, a crawler 52 is provided around the outer periphery of the clamping plate 51, and a driving assembly 3 for driving the crawler 52 to rotate is provided on the mounting frame 5.

[0045] The welding mechanism includes two welding guns 6 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3. When welding between the U-shaped rib 3 and the top plate 10 of the steel box girder, the driving motor is controlled to drive the walking wheel 21 to move, so that the gantry 2 drives the rolling component and the clamping component to move to one end of the U-shaped rib 3, and stays at a position where the rolling component is located above the U-shaped rib 3 and the two clamping components are located on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3; the driving component 1 is controlled to drive the rolling component to contact the top surface of the U-shaped rib 3, and the driving component 2 is controlled to drive the two clamping components to move in the direction close to the U-shaped rib 3, until the clamping plate 51 makes the track 52 contact the side of the U-shaped rib 3; the welding mechanism is controlled to start welding; the walking wheel 21 is controlled to drive the gantry 2 to move toward the other end of the U-shaped rib 3, and the driving component 3 is controlled to drive the track 52 to rotate, so that when the clamping component follows the movement of the gantry 2, the track 52 does not slide and rub against the side of the U-shaped rib 3.

[0046] The rolling component contacts downwardly the top of the U-shaped rib 3, pressing and fixing the U-shaped rib 3 from top to bottom, and the clamping component contacts the two sides of the U-shaped rib 3, clamping and fixing the two side surfaces of the U-shaped rib 3, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the U-shaped rib 3 during welding and improving the deformation at the welding position; and because a track 52 is arranged on the periphery of the clamping plate 51 of the clamping component, when the driving component 3 drives the track 52 to rotate, the track 52 drives the clamping component to move along the side surface of the U-shaped rib 3, and when the speed at which the track 52 drives the clamping component to move along the side surface of the U-shaped rib 3 is set to be the same as the moving speed of the gantry 2, no sliding friction occurs between the track 52 and the side surface of the U-shaped rib 3, and in the process of the gantry 2 driving the welding gun 6 to continuously weld the U-shaped rib 3, while the clamping plate 51 continuously clamps the side surface of the U-shaped rib 3, no sliding friction occurs between the side surface of the U-shaped rib 3, thereby reducing the wear on the U-shaped rib 3 and ensuring the stability of the moving process of the gantry 2 and the continuity of the welding process.

[0047] like Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the mounting frame 5 includes a top plate 53, a bottom plate 54 and a connecting rod 55, and the connecting rod 55 is connected between the top plate 53 and the bottom plate 54. The driving assembly 3 includes a motor 3 56, a rotating roller 1 57 and a rotating roller 2 58, and the rotating roller 1 57 and the rotating roller 2 58 are respectively rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the clamping plate 51, and the rotating roller 1 57 and the rotating roller 2 58 are respectively against the inner side of the crawler 52. The motor 3 56 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 5, and the output end of the motor 3 56 is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel 1 561, and the rotating roller 1 57 is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel 2 571, and the transmission wheel 1 561 and the transmission wheel 2 571 are connected by a transmission belt 59. The motor 3 56 drives the rotating roller 1 57 to rotate, and the rotating roller 1 57 drives the crawler 52 and the rotating roller 2 58 to rotate.

[0048] The mounting frame 5 is provided with a pre-shaping mechanism, which is located in front of the welding gun 6 along the forward direction of the moving frame, and is used to correct the position to be welded of the U-shaped rib 3. The pre-shaping mechanism includes a shaping roller 7 and an automatic telescopic cylinder 71 that drives the shaping roller 7 to reciprocate in the front-back direction. As an example, the automatic telescopic cylinder 71 is an electric telescopic cylinder. The automatic telescopic cylinder 71 is installed on the corresponding clamping plate 51, and the driving end of the automatic telescopic cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 72, and the shaping roller 7 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 72. The top plate 53 and the bottom plate 54 of the mounting frame 5 are respectively provided with a slide groove 531, and the U-shaped frame 72 is slidably connected to the slide groove 531 in the front-back direction. The shaping roller 7 is located in front of the clamping plate 51 along the extension direction of the U-shaped rib 3, and the shaping roller 7 abuts against the inner side of the crawler 52. When the clamping plates 51 are clamped on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3 , a deformation space is reserved between the shaping roller 7 and the side surfaces of the U-shaped rib 3 .

[0049] Since the welding position of the U-shaped rib 3 located in front of the welding position is not fixed, during the welding process of the U-shaped rib 3 by the welding gun 6, the welding position of the U-shaped rib 3 may be deformed due to the high temperature at the welding position, affecting subsequent welding.

[0050] When the deformation degree of the U-shaped rib 3 does not exceed the deformation space between the shaping roller 7 and the side of the U-shaped rib 3, then as the clamping assembly continues to move forward, the track 52, the rotating roller 58 and the clamping plate 51 cooperate to extrude and shape the deformed part to ensure the subsequent welding quality.

[0051] When the deformation degree of the U-shaped rib 3 at the welding position exceeds the deformation space, the automatic telescopic cylinder 1 71 drives the shaping roller 7 to move back and forth, and the deformed part is pre-shaped to avoid the deformation position affecting the continuity and stability of welding. When the rotating roller 2 58 and the clamping plate 51 move to the deformation position, the deformation position is squeezed and shaped again to improve the stability of the U-shaped rib 3 welding process.

[0052] Since the tightness of the crawler 52 will change during the reciprocating movement of the shaping roller 7 in the front-back direction, a tensioning mechanism for tensioning the crawler 52 is provided in the mounting frame 5 in this embodiment. The tensioning mechanism includes a tensioning roller 8 and an elastic telescopic rod 81. The tensioning roller 8 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 5 in a direction perpendicular to the side of the U-shaped rib 3. The elastic telescopic rod 81 is connected between the tensioning roller 8 and the clamping plate 51. The elastic telescopic rod 81 pushes the tensioning roller 8 to contact the inner side of the crawler 52. When the shaping roller 7 moves forward, the crawler 52 contracts the elastic telescopic rod 8 by squeezing the tensioning roller 8. When the shaping roller 7 moves backward, the elastic force of the elastic telescopic rod 81 pushes the tensioning roller 8 to move away from the clamping plate 51 to tension the crawler 52.

[0053] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the clamping plate 51 includes a clamping portion 511 and a pushing portion 512. The clamping portion 511 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5, and the clamping portion 511 is provided with a through groove (not shown in the figure) for accommodating the pushing portion 512. One end of the elastic telescopic rod 1 81 is fixedly connected to the pushing portion 512, and the other end is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 2 82, and the tensioning roller 8 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 2 82. The top plate 53 and the bottom plate 54 of the mounting frame 5 are respectively provided with a slide groove 2 532, and the U-shaped frame 2 82 is slidably connected to the slide groove 2 532. When the shaping roller 7 moves forward, the track 52 squeezes the tensioning roller 8 to make the elastic telescopic rod 1 81 squeeze the pushing portion 512, thereby increasing the pressure between the pushing portion 512 and the U-shaped rib 3, and further shaping the side of the U-shaped rib 3 is achieved.

[0054] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the rolling assembly includes a rolling roller 9 and an elastic telescopic rod 2 91, the elastic telescopic rod 2 91 is arranged vertically, and the top of the elastic telescopic rod 2 91 is fixedly connected to the support frame 4, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 3 92, and the rolling roller 9 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 3 92. The driving assembly 1 includes an automatic telescopic cylinder 2 93 extending vertically, the top of the automatic telescopic cylinder 2 93 is fixedly connected to the mobile frame, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the support frame 4. As an example, the automatic telescopic cylinder 2 93 is an electric telescopic cylinder. The automatic telescopic cylinder 2 93 drives the support frame 4 to move vertically so that the rolling roller 9 below the support frame 4 is pressed against the top surface of the U-shaped rib 3 or is out of contact with the U-shaped rib 3.

[0055] The second driving assembly includes a guide rod 41, a lead screw 42 and a second motor 43. The guide rod 41 is arranged in parallel with the lead screw 42, and the guide rod 41 is fixedly connected to the carrier frame 4, and the lead screw 42 is rotatably connected to the carrier frame 4. The second motor 43 is fixedly installed on the carrier frame 4, and the lead screw 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 43. The lead screw 42 is provided with a thread segment with a thread rotation direction opposite to that of the thread. The mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected with a support plate 50, and the support plate 50 is slidably matched with the guide rod 41 and matched with the corresponding thread segment on the lead screw 42. The second motor 43 drives the lead screw 42 to drive the two support plates 50 to move in a direction close to or away from each other, so that the clamping assembly is clamped on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3 or the clamping of the U-shaped rib 3 is cancelled.

[0056] A steel box girder welding method of the present invention uses the steel box girder welding device in the above embodiment, and the steel box girder welding method comprises the following steps:

[0057] Lay the steel box girder top plate 10 on the platform 1, and place the U-shaped rib 3 on the steel box girder top plate 10;

[0058] Control the driving motor to drive the walking wheel 21 to move, so that the gantry 2 drives the rolling assembly and the clamping assembly to move to one end of the U-shaped rib 3, and stays at a position where the rolling assembly is located above the U-shaped rib 3 and the two clamping assemblies are located on both sides of the U-shaped rib 3;

[0059] Control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 93 to drive the carrier 4 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the rolling roller 9 below the carrier 4 is pressed against the top surface of the U-shaped rib 3, and control the second motor 43 to drive the lead screw 42 to drive the two support plates 50 to move in a direction close to each other, so that the clamping plate 51 squeezes the crawler 52 against the corresponding side surface of the U-shaped rib 3;

[0060] Control the welding gun 6 to start welding, control the gantry 2 to continue moving, and control the motor 3 56 to drive the rotating roller 1 57 to rotate. The rotating roller 1 57 drives the track 52, the rotating roller 2 58, the shaping roller 7 and the tensioning roller 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the track 52, the clamping assembly is driven to move along the side of the U-shaped rib 3, and the moving speed of the clamping assembly is kept equal to the moving speed of the gantry 2, so that no sliding friction occurs between the track 52 and the side of the U-shaped rib 3;

[0061] During the movement of the gantry 2, the automatic telescopic cylinder 71 is controlled to drive the shaping roller 7 to reciprocate forward and backward to pre-shape the deformed part of the U-shaped rib 3. When the shaping roller 7 moves forward, the track 52 squeezes the tensioning roller 8 to make the elastic telescopic rod 81 squeeze the pushing part 512, thereby increasing the pressure between the pushing part 512 and the U-shaped rib 3, thereby achieving further shaping of the side of the U-shaped rib 3.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
