Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal processing equipment, and in particular relates to a flash butt welding machine control system for titanium alloy bar welding and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, titanium alloy materials have been widely used in many fields such as aerospace, marine engineering, and medical devices due to their high strength, low density, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. In the production process of titanium alloy products, the welding of bars is a key link, and its welding quality directly affects the performance and reliability of the final product.
[0003] Among them, the flash butt welding machine is widely used for longitudinal connection of bars. Its working principle is to use the bars of the electrodes at both ends of the butt welding machine to contact each other, pass low voltage and high current, and after the bars are heated to a certain temperature and softened, axial pressure forging is performed to form a butt welding joint. It has the advantages of fast welding speed and relatively simple welding process. However, our company has found in long-term use that the traditional flash butt welding machine has poor welding effect on titanium alloy bars, especially the low success rate of welding titanium alloys of different specifications. The reasons are as follows:
[0004] First, the heat control is not precise: during the welding process, it is difficult for traditional flash butt welding machines to accurately control the welding heat according to the special physical and chemical properties of titanium alloy bars. Titanium alloys have high melting points, low thermal conductivity, and strong chemical activity, and the heat input requirements during the welding process are relatively stringent. When welding titanium alloy bars of different specifications, it is necessary to accurately adjust the heat at each stage of welding (such as flash establishment, stable heating, and stamping welding stages), but traditional welding machines lack effective means to achieve this precise heat control, which makes it easy for the weld joint to overheat or lack of heat, thereby affecting the quality of the weld, such as coarse grains, lack of fusion, pores, cracks and other defects in the weld, which reduces the success rate of butt welding of titanium alloy bars;
[0005] Second, the equipment is less safe: the mechanism and motion control of traditional flash welding machines is relatively simple, and there are safety hazards in the welding process, such as bar clamping, electrode clamp feeding, and protection of the welding area. For example, when clamping materials, due to the lack of effective protection and precise control, operators are prone to accidental touch, causing burns or mechanical injuries; during the welding process, the operating state of the equipment is unstable, and it is easy to cause equipment failure due to unexpected circumstances, which not only affects production efficiency, but may also cause more serious safety accidents, increasing the production risks and costs of enterprises.
[0006] The third is inconvenient operation and lack of flexibility: the operating interface and control system of traditional welding machines are not intelligent enough, and it is impossible to quickly and accurately set welding parameters according to different specifications of titanium alloy bars. Operators need to rely on experience and multiple tests to adjust welding current, time and other parameters, which not only consumes time and energy, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency and stability of each welding. At the same time, during the welding process, it is impossible to monitor key parameters such as temperature and current in the welding area in real time, making it difficult to adjust and optimize the welding process in a timely manner, and unable to meet the needs of modern industrial production for efficient and high-quality welding.
[0007] In summary, these problems existing in the existing flash butt welding machine in titanium alloy bar welding have seriously restricted the wide application and further development of titanium alloy materials in various fields. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new flash butt welding machine control system specifically for titanium alloy bar welding to solve these problems.

[0038] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.
[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] See also Figures 1-2The flash butt welding machine control system for titanium alloy bar welding provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises a human-machine interface 1, which is respectively connected to a welding heat control unit 3 and a mechanism motion control unit 4 through a PLC controller 2. In the actual operation process, the welding heat control unit 3 and the mechanism motion control unit 4 realize a highly coordinated linkage operation mechanism under the precise control of the PLC controller 2, which can accurately and efficiently execute various instructions, thereby realizing the welding operation of titanium alloy bars A of different specifications.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the human-machine interface 1 is mainly composed of a parameter setting area, an action start / stop button, a heating current monitoring part, a welding area temperature detection part and an over-temperature alarm part.
[0042] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the welding heat control unit 3 is the core of the entire control system, and it is divided into the following three stages when controlling heat: the first stage is the flash establishment stage P1, which mainly realizes rapid heating of the weldment by applying a relatively large current to the bar for a short time, forming a spark torrent-flash, thereby establishing a weldment heating circuit; the second stage is the stable heating stage P2, which mainly realizes heating of the bar by continuously applying a relatively small current to the bar for a long time, so that the temperature of the bar in this area reaches the specified welding temperature; the third stage is the stamping welding stage P3, which mainly realizes welding function by applying a relatively large current to the bar for a short time so that the bar is squeezed against each other in the case of top forging; in addition, the duration corresponding to these three stages P1, P2, and P3 is set as T1, T2, and T3 respectively. It is worth noting that in the entire welding process, the current size and duration required for each stage can be accurately set through the parameter setting area of the human-machine interface 1. Since in the actual welding scene, the voltage is usually kept constant, according to Joule's law (Q=I 2 RT, where Q represents heat, I represents current, R represents resistance, and T represents time). Under the condition of constant resistance and voltage, by precisely controlling the current and duration of each stage, the total amount of heat released in each stage can be effectively controlled, thereby achieving refined and precise control of the welding process, ensuring that the welding quality meets the expected standards and meets the stringent requirements for heat in welding titanium alloy bars of different specifications.
[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the welding heat control unit 3 includes a thyristor control circuit board 31, a first thyristor 32 and a second thyristor 33. The first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 are respectively connected to the thyristor control circuit board 31, and the thyristor control circuit board 31 is connected to the PLC controller 2. The thyristor control circuit board 31 outputs a continuous analog signal to adjust the conduction angle of the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 according to the control command signal of the PLC controller 2, so as to control the current size in each stage during welding.
[0044] Specifically, the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 both adopt a flat plate structure, and the model is KP500A, 1600V. The selection of this model is based on a comprehensive consideration of the current carrying capacity and voltage stability during the welding process. It is particularly critical that the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 are connected in anti-parallel. After this connection, when the system is running, by adjusting the conduction angle of each thyristor, it is possible to accurately adjust the size of the welding current, and then form a complete and accurate heat control system based on the pre-set duration of each stage. In this way, the welding heat control unit 3 can stably and accurately output heat that is compatible with the titanium alloy bar welding process requirements in the flash establishment stage P1, the stable heating stage P2, and the stamping welding stage P3, which fundamentally guarantees the quality of titanium alloy bar welding.
[0045] Among them, the thyristor control circuit board 31 uses a PAC16P single-phase phase-shifting voltage regulator board, which can output a continuous analog signal. The signal directly acts on the thyristor to accurately adjust the conduction angle of the thyristor, thereby realizing accurate control of the welding current of the welding machine. In addition, the trigger pulse analog signal output by the thyristor control circuit board 31 has extremely high symmetry and stability, and does not change with the ambient temperature. There is no need to adjust the pulse symmetry and limit during use. At the same time, it also has a complete multi-channel protection system such as overcurrent, overvoltage, current limiting, and voltage limiting. Once a fault occurs, the protection system can act in a short time to reliably protect the thyristor.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the PLC controller 2 should be able to output a 4-20 mA analog current signal, thereby achieving stable control of the trigger circuit of the thyristor control circuit board 31 .
[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mechanism action control unit 4 is as follows Figure 2As shown, it includes a bar clamping cylinder 41, an electrode clamp 42 and a feeding cylinder 43. Among them, the electrode clamp 42 and the feeding cylinder 43 are both arranged on the base, and the electrode clamp 42 is arranged to slide in the horizontal direction. The bar clamping cylinder 41 is arranged just above the initial position of the electrode clamp 42, and is used to provide clamping force to the titanium alloy bar A located on the electrode clamp 42. The feeding cylinder 43 is located on one side of the electrode clamp 42, and the end of the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 43 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the electrode clamp 42. During the welding process, the feeding cylinder 43 plays the role of controlling the feeding of the electrode clamp 2. By controlling the extension and contraction of the piston rod, the position of the electrode clamp 42 can be adjusted.
[0048] Furthermore, the mechanism motion control unit 4 also includes a welding guard plate 44 and a limit switch 45. The welding guard plate 44 plays a role of physical protection to prevent sparks, heat and other potential dangerous factors in the welding process from causing harm to the operator, while the limit switch 45 is used to detect the position state of the welding guard plate 44 in real time and accurately. Only when the limit switch 45 detects that the welding guard plate 44 is in a closed state, the entire system will allow the heating welding operation to be performed, which eliminates the safety hazards caused by misoperation or unexpected situations from the source, and effectively guarantees the safety of the production process. In addition, the bar clamping cylinder 41, the electrode clamp 42, the feeding cylinder 43, the welding guard plate 44 and the limit switch 45 are all connected to the PLC controller 2, so that the PLC controller 2 can coordinately control these components, ensuring that the entire mechanism motion control unit 4 can operate stably according to the preset program and parameters, providing reliable protection for the welding operation of titanium alloy bars, and greatly improving the automation and precision control capabilities of the welding process.
[0049] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for using a control system of a flash butt welding machine for titanium alloy bar welding, and the specific process is as follows:
[0050] 1) Parameter setting: Determine the heat required for each stage according to the specifications of the titanium alloy bar A to be welded, and then set the current size and duration of each stage in the human-machine interface 1 according to the heat required for each stage;
[0051] 2) Clamping materials: After step 1) is completed, the welding guard plate 44 is controlled by the PLC controller 2 to place the titanium alloy bar A to be welded in the material clamping area, and the bar clamping cylinder 41 is controlled to extend so that the electrode clamp 42 clamps the titanium alloy bar A, and then the welding guard plate 44 is closed. When the limit switch 45 detects that the welding guard plate 44 is closed in place;
[0052] 3) Welding: After step 2) is completed, the PLC controller 2 controls the thyristor control circuit board 31 to make the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 start to ignite and discharge, enter the flash establishment stage P1, and quickly heat the welding part of the rod according to the set current. After the P1 stage duration T1 ends; the PLC controller 2 controls the feeding cylinder 43 to uniformly control the feeding of the electrode clamp 42 to make the welding part close, and make the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 discharge according to the current set in the stable heating stage P2. When the P2 section duration T2 ends; the feeding cylinder 43 arrives at the stamping welding area, the PLC controller 2 controls the thyristor control circuit board 31 to make the first thyristor 32 and the second thyristor 33 discharge according to the current set in the stamping welding stage P3, and the feeding cylinder 43 continues to move forward evenly. When the P3 section duration T3 ends, the forging and welding operation is completed; at this time, the PLC controller 2 controls to open the welding guard plate 44, and resets the rod clamping cylinder 41 and the feeding cylinder 43, and the entire welding process ends.
