Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding equipment, and in particular to an intelligent weld monitoring device. Background Art
[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, resistance welding is widely used in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, and electronic equipment production due to its advantages of high efficiency, energy saving, and stable welding quality. For example, in automobile body manufacturing, a large number of parts are connected together by resistance welding to build the overall frame of the car.
[0003] In the process of resistance welding, current is one of the key parameters. According to Joule's law \(Q=I^{2}Rt\) (where \(Q\) is heat, \(I\) is current, \(R\) is resistance, and \(t\) is time), the magnitude of the current directly determines the heat generated during welding, which in turn affects the quality of the weld. When the current changes, it will have a significant impact on the welding effect. If the current is too large, it will cause local overheating of the weldment, resulting in problems such as burn-through and spatter, reducing the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the weld; if the current is too small, it may cause defects such as incomplete penetration and cold welding of the weldment, making the weld unable to meet the strength requirements.
[0004] At present, although there are many current monitoring methods applied to the field of resistance welding, such as using current sensors to monitor the current in the welding circuit. However, most of these methods can only monitor the value of the current, and it is difficult to directly reflect the actual impact of current changes on the quality of the weld. In the actual welding process, the contact resistance between the electrode and the weldment will change due to various factors, such as the roughness of the weldment surface, the fluctuation of the electrode pressure, etc. According to Ohm's law \(I=U / R\) (where \(I\) is the current, \(U\) is the voltage, and \(R\) is the resistance), changes in contact resistance will cause current fluctuations, and existing monitoring technologies are difficult to quickly and accurately associate this current change with the real-time status of the weld quality. For example, when welding steel pipes, traditional monitoring methods cannot promptly detect changes in contact resistance caused by the undulations of the weld surface, and thus cannot promptly adjust welding parameters, resulting in welding defects.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a monitoring device that can monitor the current changes during resistance welding in real time and accurately and directly reflect the quality of the weld. It is crucial to improve welding production efficiency, reduce scrap rate and ensure product quality. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 9The present embodiment provides a technical solution: an intelligent weld monitoring device, comprising a clamping mechanism 100, and a detection mechanism 200 connected to the clamping mechanism 100. The steel pipe to be welded is inserted into the clamping mechanism 100 and driven by the clamping mechanism 100 to rotate on a fixed axis. The detection mechanism 200 comprises a resistance welding head 230 arranged on the upper part of the weld. When the steel pipe to be welded rotates, the resistance welding head 230 moves relatively to the weld. The detection mechanism 200 also comprises a rotating shaft 210, and a driving wheel 220 for driving the steel pipe to be welded to rotate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 210. The driving wheel 220 The rotation speed is equal to the rotation speed of the steel pipe to be welded. A plurality of detection columns 261 in an annular array are axially slidably connected on the end face of the driving wheel 220. The plurality of detection columns 261 correspond to the welding points on the weld. The contact pressure between the resistance welding head 230 and the weld can increase or decrease with the fluctuation of the weld surface. The driving wheel 220 has a first end face and a second end face. When the contact pressure increases, the detection column 261 at the corresponding position of the weld slides toward the first end face of the driving wheel 220, and when the contact pressure decreases, the detection column 261 at the corresponding position of the weld slides toward the second end face of the driving wheel 220.
[0035] The two sections of steel pipe to be welded are fixed by the clamping mechanism 100 so that the two ends of the steel pipe to be welded are in contact with each other, the position of the resistance welding head 230 is adjusted and fixed so that the resistance welding head 230 and the weld of the steel pipe have appropriate contact pressure, the clamping mechanism 100 drives the steel pipe to rotate so that the weld is relatively displaced to the resistance welding head 230, so that the resistance welding head 230 welds the weld part, because the resistance welding head 230 is in contact with the weld, when the weld moves, the pressure between the resistance welding head 230 and the weld can change with the height fluctuation of the weld, the electrode pressure will affect the contact resistance between the weldment and the electrode, according to Ohm's law, when the contact pressure changes, the current will also change, and the change of current affects the welding effect of the weld, the device is Detecting the pressure between the resistance welding head 230 and the weld reflects the welding effect of the weld. The driving wheel 220 drives the steel pipe to be welded to rotate at the same speed. When the pressure change between the resistance welding head 230 and the weld leads to poor welding quality, the detection column 261 on the driving wheel 220 corresponding to the angle of the welding part can slide. The welding effect of the weld can be obtained by observing the sliding of the detection column 261. In addition, when the contact pressure is large, it will cause the weldment to overheat and burn through. At this time, the detection column 261 slides toward the first end face of the driving wheel 220. When the contact pressure is small, it will cause incomplete penetration. At this time, the detection column 261 slides toward the second end face of the driving wheel 220. Therefore, the current change in the welding process and the possible welding defects can be obtained according to the sliding direction of the detection column 261.
[0036] The detection mechanism 200 also includes multiple sliding rods 260, and multiple detection columns 261 are respectively connected to the multiple sliding rods 260. A disc 270 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 210. A threaded rod 262 is connected to the sliding rod 260. A threaded hole that cooperates with the threaded rod 262 is opened on the disc 270. When the threaded rod 262 rotates in the threaded hole, the detection column 261 slides on the driving wheel 220.
[0037] The disc 270 and the driving wheel 220 are both fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 210, so that the disc 270 can rotate synchronously with the driving wheel 220. The two ends of the sliding rod 260 are respectively connected to the detection column 261 and the threaded rod 262. When the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 changes, the threaded rod 262 can rotate relative to the threaded hole on the disc 270, so that the sliding rod 260 slides axially to drive the detection column 261 to slide axially relative to the driving wheel 220.
[0038] The detection mechanism 200 also includes an electric telescopic rod 240, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 240 is connected to a mounting base 250, a first rack 251 and a second rack 252 are vertically symmetrically connected to the mounting base 250, the ends of multiple threaded rods 262 are all connected to gears 263, and a pressure sensor is provided on the resistance welding head 230. When the pressure sensor detects that the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 decreases or increases, the electric telescopic rod 240 synchronously extends or shortens to move the mounting base 250, so that the first rack 251 or the second rack 252 engages with the gear 263 to make the detection column 261 at the corresponding position of the weld slide.
[0039] The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 240 follows the pressure change of the resistance welding head 230. When the pressure sensor detects that the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 increases, the electric telescopic rod 240 extends. At this time, the second rack 252 engages with the gear 263 on the disk 270 of the corresponding weld angle, thereby driving the threaded rod 262 to rotate, so that the detection column 261 slides toward the first end surface of the driving wheel 220. Conversely, when the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 decreases, the electric telescopic rod 240 shortens. At this time, the first rack 251 engages with the gear 263 on the disk 270 of the corresponding weld angle, thereby driving the threaded rod 262 to rotate, so that the detection column 261 slides toward the second end surface of the driving wheel 220.
[0040] The clamping mechanism 100 includes a base 110, on which two supports 120 are symmetrically connected, a driven wheel 130 is rotatably connected inside the support 120, the driven wheel 130 is transmission-connected to the driving wheel 220 via a belt, holes for the steel pipe to pass through are provided on the driven wheel 130 and the support 120, an electric clamp is provided inside the driven wheel 130, and the electric clamp clamps the steel pipe so that the steel pipe is in a coaxial position with the driven wheel 130.
[0041] The diameters of the driving wheel 220 and the driven wheel 130 are equal, so that when the driving wheel 220 rotates, the driven wheel 130 and the driving wheel 220 can be driven by the belt to rotate at the same speed, thereby ensuring that the multiple detection columns 261 can correspond to the positions on the weld.
[0042] It also includes a current control mechanism 400, which includes inner cone rings 410 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the resistance welding head 230. Two guide rods 450 are symmetrically connected to the resistance welding head 230. The ends of the two guide rods 450 are respectively abutted against the inner cone surfaces of the two inner cone rings 410. The two inner cone rings 410 are close to each other to drive the resistance welding head 230 to be pressed against the weld.
[0043] The pressure sensor is set on any guide rod 450. At the beginning of welding, the distance between the two inner cone rings 410 is adjusted so that the pressure applied by the inner cone ring 410 to the two guide rods 450 is equal. At this time, the contact pressure detected by the pressure sensor is the pressure between the resistance welding head 230 and the weld. The contact pressure is adjusted to an appropriate range, and then the steel pipe to be welded is controlled to rotate so that the resistance welding head 230 welds the weld.
[0044] The end surface of the inner conical ring 410 is fixedly connected to a round rod 420, which is inserted into the support 120. A first piston plate 430 is fixedly connected to the round rod 420. A cylindrical hole matching the first piston plate 430 is opened in the support 120. The cylindrical hole is connected to a first oil pipe 370, and the first oil pipe 370 is connected to a second oil pipe 380. The second oil pipe 380 is connected to an external hydraulic oil pump. When the external hydraulic oil pump pumps or extracts hydraulic oil into the cylindrical hole, the two inner conical rings 410 approach or move away from the resistance welding head 230; when the welding current increases, the external hydraulic oil pump extracts hydraulic oil to make the two inner conical rings 410 move away from each other, thereby reducing the welding current; and when the welding current decreases, the external hydraulic oil pump pumps hydraulic oil to make the two inner conical rings 410 move closer to each other, thereby increasing the welding current.
[0045] In order to avoid poor weld quality caused by excessive or insufficient welding current, during the welding process, when the contact pressure is too large or too small, the spacing between the two inner cone rings 410 will change. When the control system receives a signal that the contact pressure is too large and the welding current increases, it controls the external hydraulic oil pump to operate, and equally extracts the hydraulic oil in the two groups of cylindrical holes, so that the first piston plate 430 slides, so that the two inner cone rings 410 are equidistant from each other, thereby reducing the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 and reducing the welding current. Conversely, the external hydraulic oil pump injects an equal amount of hydraulic oil into the two groups of cylindrical holes, so that the two inner cone rings 410 are equidistant from each other, thereby increasing the contact pressure of the resistance welding head 230 and increasing the welding current.
[0046] The repair welding mechanism 300 also includes an electric push rod 310, the electric push rod 310 is fixedly connected to the base 110, the output end of the electric push rod 310 is fixedly connected to a slide seat 320, the slide seat 320 is fixedly connected to a piston cylinder 330, and is slidably connected to a U-shaped frame 340, the U-shaped frame 340 is fixedly connected to a piston rod 341, the end of the piston rod 341 is fixedly connected to a second piston plate 342, the second piston plate 342 slides in the piston cylinder 330, and the piston cylinder 330 is located in the second piston plate 342. The spaces on both sides of the piston plate 342 are filled with hydraulic oil and are connected to the third oil pipe 350. The third oil pipe 350 is connected to the first oil pipe 370. When the driving wheel 220 reverses, the external hydraulic oil pump extracts a small amount of hydraulic oil and then stops running, and the electric push rod 310 extends to make the U-shaped frame 340 close to the driving wheel 220. When the driving wheel 220 reverses, the detection columns 261 protruding from either end surface of the driving wheel 220 can push the U-shaped frame 340 to slide, so that the resistance welding joint 230 can be repaired at the missing welding position.
[0047] The repair welding mechanism 300 is symmetrically provided with two groups for controlling the movement of the two inner cone rings 410. After the welding is completed, if it is observed that the multiple detection columns 261 slide relative to the driving wheel 220, the external hydraulic oil pump is first controlled to extract the hydraulic oil in the cylindrical hole, so that the two inner cone rings 410 move away from each other until the value detected by the pressure sensor tends to zero, and then the rotating shaft 210 is controlled to reverse, and the electric push rod 310 is controlled to extend at the same time, so that the U-shaped frame 340 approaches the driving wheel 220. As the driving wheel 220 rotates, the detection column 261 protruding from the driving wheel 220 can push the U-shaped frame 340 to slide, so that the U-shaped frame 340 drives the second piston plate 342 to slide, so that the hydraulic oil in the piston cylinder 330 can flow into the cylindrical hole, so that the first piston plate 430 is pushed, so that the two inner cone rings 410 approach each other, thereby driving the resistance welding head 230 to contact the weld, and repairing the parts with poor welding quality.
[0048] A position sensor for detecting the sliding direction of the U-shaped frame 340 is provided on the slide seat 320. When the position sensor detects that the U-shaped frame 340 slides toward the first end surface direction of the driving wheel 220, the rotation speed of the driving wheel 220 increases; and when the position sensor detects that the U-shaped frame 340 slides toward the second end surface direction of the driving wheel 220, the rotation speed of the driving wheel 220 remains unchanged.
[0049] Since the repairing methods for weld defects caused by high contact pressure and low contact pressure are different, when the position sensor detects that the U-shaped frame 340 slides toward the first end face of the driving wheel 220 due to high contact pressure, the control system controls the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 210 to increase, so that the speed at which the weld moves relative to the resistance welding head 230 increases, thereby reducing the repairing time. Conversely, when repairing weld defects caused by low contact pressure, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 210 remains unchanged, ensuring that the resistance welding head 230 has enough time to repair the weld.
[0050] The two third oil pipes 350 are both provided with solenoid valves 351. When the electric push rod 310 is shortened, the two solenoid valves 351 are both closed. The two third oil pipes 350 are both connected with a box body 360 between the piston cylinder 330 and the solenoid valve 351. A rectangular plate 361 is connected to the box body 360 through a tension spring 362. The side wall of the rectangular plate 361 fits with the inner wall of the box body 360. When the U-shaped frame 340 slides, the solenoid valve 351 located in the opposite direction of the sliding of the U-shaped frame 340 is closed, and the other solenoid valve 351 is opened.
[0051] In order to avoid pressure relief in the cylindrical hole when the external hydraulic oil pump is started, the two solenoid valves 351 are closed at this time. During the repair welding process, in order to avoid pressure relief in the cylindrical hole, the solenoid valve 351 located in the opposite direction of the sliding of the U-shaped frame 340 is closed, and the other solenoid valve 351 is opened. As a result, when the space in the piston cylinder 330 located in the opposite direction of the second piston plate 342 increases, the negative pressure is transmitted to the corresponding box body 360. At this time, the negative pressure drives the rectangular plate 361 in the box body 360 to overcome the pulling force of the tension spring 362 and slide. The hydraulic oil in the box body 360 flows to the enlarged space of the piston cylinder 330, thereby avoiding the influence of negative pressure on the sliding process of the second piston plate 342.
[0052] The two end surfaces of the U-shaped frame 340 and the driving wheel 220 repel each other magnetically, and when the U-shaped frame 340 is located in the axial middle of the driving wheel 220, the magnetic repulsion is equal; two inclined plates 390 are symmetrically connected to the base 110 on both sides of the electric push rod 310. When the electric push rod 310 is shortened, the inclined plates 390 guide the U-shaped frame 340 to slide so that the second piston plate 342 moves to the middle of the piston cylinder 330.
[0053] In order to reset the U-shaped frame 340, two pressure sensors are further provided at the position of the U-shaped frame 340 that can contact the detection column 261. When the two pressure sensors are not subjected to the pressure of the detection column 261, the two solenoid valves 351 are both opened, so that the U-shaped frame 340 is reset under the action of the magnetic repulsive force, thereby preventing the resistance welding head 230 from contacting the weld without defects. After the electric push rod 310 is shortened, the U-shaped frame 340 can slide on the inclined surface of the inclined plate 390 and be guided, so that the second piston plate 342 slides to the middle position of the piston cylinder 330, and then the two solenoid valves 351 are closed to ensure that the two inner cone rings 410 can be smoothly driven to move during the next repair welding.
[0054] After the repair welding is completed, the slide bar 260 can be manually rotated to reset the detection column 261, or a servo motor and an angle sensor can be set to record the rotation angle of the corresponding slide bar 260, and then the slide bar 260 can be reset by driving the servo motor.
[0055] The device also includes a grinding mechanism 500, which includes a fixed seat 510, and the resistance welding head 230 is inserted into the fixed seat 510.
