Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ship welding, in particular to ship tooling multi-angle welding equipment with welding density monitoring function. Background Art
[0002] As a core technology in modern shipbuilding, ship welding is evolving towards high precision and intelligent manufacturing. With the deep integration of robotics and CNC automation, the shipbuilding industry will continue to gain momentum for upgrading, and advancements in welding technology will further enhance the efficiency and reliability of shipbuilding.
[0003] In the current ship welding process, different working conditions lead to diverse welding requirements. For the welding of large workpieces, it is usually necessary to use gantry cranes, dock equipment and robotic arms for assistance; small workpieces are mostly welded manually. However, the welding position of some workpieces is inside the cabin, and it is impossible to use a gantry crane for lifting operations. When faced with workpieces with relatively large mass, such as large steel plates that need to be welded perpendicular to the cabin floor, multiple people are often required to assist in maintaining the vertical state of the workpiece. However, due to the large mass of the steel plates, there is a risk of rollover during the welding process, which seriously threatens the safety of the operation. In addition, the welding quality of large workpieces using manual assisted clamping is difficult to guarantee stably. In ship welding, the gaps between steel plates need to be sealed and isolated from air, but the current method of separate detection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which greatly restricts the overall efficiency of ship welding manufacturing.

[0006] The present invention relates to a welding tool for assembling steel plates on ships. A positioning mechanism is used to absorb and clamp three groups of steel plates, and the three groups of steel plates are pre-assembled into a three-dimensional right-angle space perpendicular to each other. An expansion mechanism drives a welding mechanism to move in a straight line along the gap between the two pre-assembled groups of perpendicular steel plates. A welding gun welds the gap. A laser locator is used to identify the distance between the welding gun and the weld, and an electrical signal is fed back to the welding mechanism to ensure that the spacing between the welding gun and the weld is always equal, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weld. After completing one weld, the rotating mechanism rotates the welding mechanism to the gap between two adjacent groups of perpendicular steel plates to complete welding between welds of different angles. While welding, a visual inspection probe is used to monitor the density of the weld points in real time to see if it meets the specified standards. After welding is completed, a detection mechanism is used to detect whether there is air leakage between the two groups of perpendicular steel plates to ensure that the welding operation can effectively seal the two groups of steel plates.
[0007] Furthermore, the expansion mechanism also includes a first cylinder, a spring rod, a support leg mechanism and a pulley mechanism. The chassis frame is provided with a first slide groove, and the top plate is provided with a hinge buckle. The first slide groove, hinge buckle, spring rod, support leg mechanism and pulley mechanism are each provided with three groups. The three groups of first slide grooves, hinge buckles, spring rods, support leg mechanisms and pulley mechanisms are evenly distributed along the circumference of the chassis frame. The support leg mechanism includes a support rod, the support rod is hinged to the hinge buckle, the pulley mechanism is slidably connected to the support rod, the welding mechanism is fixedly connected to the pulley mechanism, and the rotating mechanism includes a top platform, which is fixedly connected to the chassis frame.
[0008] The three groups of steel plates are adsorbed and clamped by the positioning mechanism, and the three groups of steel plates are pre-assembled into a three-dimensional right-angled space perpendicular to each other. The three groups of support rods evenly distributed along the circumference of the chassis frame are respectively located above the three groups of pre-assembled gaps perpendicular to each other. In the initial state, the top plate is located away from the chassis frame, the support rod is located in the first slide groove close to the center of the chassis frame, and the support rod is perpendicular to the chassis frame. The three groups of pulley mechanisms contact the two sides of the three groups of welds respectively. The first cylinder pulls the top plate toward the direction of the chassis frame according to the set program output end. The top plate compresses the spring rod, and one end of the support rod rotates around the hinge buckle away from the center of the chassis frame. The three groups of pulley mechanisms move in a straight line away from the center of the chassis frame along the weld, driving the welding mechanism to weld one group of gaps, and the welding of the three groups of gaps is completed in this reciprocating manner.
[0009] Furthermore, the support leg mechanism also includes a slider and a first spring, a second slide groove, a third slide groove and a convex plate are provided on the support rod, a convex column is provided on the slider, the slider is slidably connected to the first slide groove, the first spring is fixedly connected to the slider and the first slide groove, the second slide groove is in contact with the convex column, the third slide groove and the convex plate are provided on the support rod away from the hinge buckle, the pulley mechanism includes an assembly frame and a second spring, the assembly frame is slidably connected to the third slide groove, and the second spring is fixedly connected to the convex plate and the assembly frame.
[0010] The first cylinder pulls the top plate toward the chassis frame at the output end according to the set program, and the top plate compresses the spring rod. One end of the support rod rotates around the hinge buckle away from the center of the chassis frame. When the boss and the second slide groove are in relative sliding, the support rod rotates relative to the boss and deflects, and at the same time pushes the slider to slide along the first slide groove away from the center of the chassis frame. The slider squeezes the first spring. When the support rod rotates away from the center of the chassis frame, the convex plate and the assembly frame compress the second spring.
[0011] Furthermore, the pulley mechanism also includes a camber pulley, which is fixedly connected to the assembly frame. There are two groups of camber pulleys, and the two groups of camber pulleys are arranged on both sides of the assembly frame. The welding mechanism includes a first two-axis platform and a welding gun. The first two-axis platform is fixedly connected to the assembly frame and the welding gun. The first two-axis platform is connected to the laser locator through electrical signals.
[0012] When the support rod rotates away from the center of the chassis frame, the convex plate and the assembly frame compress the second spring, and the three groups of assembly frames move in a straight line along the weld away from the center of the chassis frame. The two groups of camber pulleys respectively contact two groups of steel plates that are perpendicular to each other and move. The distance between the welding gun and the weld is identified by the laser locator, and the electrical signal is fed back to the first two-axis platform. The first two-axis platform drives the welding gun to make x-axis and y-axis displacements in a forty-five-degree plane between the two groups of steel plates that are perpendicular to each other, to ensure that the distance between the welding gun and the weld is always equal, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weld.
[0013] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism also includes a base, a servo motor and a gear rod, the positioning mechanism includes a ring frame, the detection mechanism includes a second cylinder, the servo motor, the ring frame and the second cylinder are all fixedly connected to the base, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the gear rod, a side hole is provided on the base, the gear rod is rotatably connected to the side hole, a ring gear pair is provided on the top platform, the gear rod is engaged with the tooth surface of the ring gear pair, and the top platform is rotatably connected to the bottom platform.
[0014] After completing the welding of a group of gaps, the servo motor outputs a fixed-axis torque to the gear rod. The gear rod rotates in the side hole and engages with the tooth surface of the ring gear pair. The gear rod transmits the torque to the top platform. The top platform and the bottom platform are in relative rotation, and the welding mechanism is turned to the gap between two adjacent groups of mutually perpendicular steel plates to complete the welding between welds of different angles.
[0015] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes an inclined rod, an adjustment mechanism and a visual inspection probe. There are three groups of inclined rods and adjustment mechanisms. The three groups of inclined rods and adjustment mechanisms are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ring frame. The inclined rods and support rods are arranged at intervals. The inclined rods, visual inspection probes and laser locators are all fixedly connected to the ring frame. The adjustment mechanism includes an electric turntable, which is fixedly connected to the inclined rods. The visual inspection probes and the adjustment mechanism are connected through electrical signals.
[0016] Three groups of steel plates are respectively adsorbed and clamped by three groups of adjustment mechanisms evenly distributed along the circumference of the ring frame. The angles of the three groups of inclined rods are fixed so that the three groups of steel plates are in planes perpendicular to each other. The visual inspection probe is used to identify and judge whether the edges of the three groups of steel plates are aligned, and the electrical signal is fed back to the adjustment mechanism to continuously fine-tune the clamped steel plates so that the three groups of steel plates are perpendicular to each other and the edges are aligned, pre-assembled into a three-dimensional right-angle space where each pair is perpendicular to each other.
[0017] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes a second two-axis platform and an electromagnetic suction table. The second two-axis platform is fixedly connected to the electric turntable and the electromagnetic suction table. The second two-axis platform and the electric turntable are connected to the visual inspection probe through electrical signals.
[0018] The electromagnetic suction table clamps the steel plate through electromagnetic adsorption, and the visual inspection probe feeds back electrical signals to the second two-axis platform and the electric turntable. The electric turntable drives the steel plate to rotate and fine-tune so that the edges of two adjacent groups of steel plates are parallel to each other. The second two-axis platform drives the steel plate to move along the x-axis and y-axis in its horizontal plane so that the edges of two adjacent groups of steel plates are parallel and then contact each other, so that the three groups of steel plates are perpendicular to each other and the edges are aligned, and they are pre-assembled into a three-dimensional right-angle space where each pair is perpendicular to each other.
[0019] Furthermore, the detection mechanism also includes a triangular iron frame, an air valve, a pressure gauge and a vacuum membrane. The triangular iron frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder, the air valve and the pressure gauge. A hollow hole is provided on the triangular iron frame, and the vacuum membrane is fixedly connected to the hollow hole.
[0020] After welding is completed, the output end of the second cylinder pushes the triangular iron frame away from the chassis frame. The three sides of the triangular iron frame contact the three groups of steel plates respectively, and the external air pump is connected through the air valve to draw a vacuum. When the weld is airtight, the space formed by the triangular iron frame and the three groups of steel plates is evacuated, and the vacuum membrane installed in the hollow hole shrinks as the vacuum is drawn. The airtightness of the weld is tested by observing the pressure gauge reading. Welds of different lengths can be tested by replacing triangular iron frames of different models.

The welding gun welds a group of gaps. After completing welding a weld, the welding gun is turned to the gap between two adjacent groups of mutually perpendicular steel plates to complete welding between welds of different angles. The laser locator identifies the distance between the welding gun and the weld, and feeds back an electrical signal to the first two-axis platform to drive the welding gun, and performs a two-axis displacement in a forty-five-degree plane between the two groups of perpendicular steel plates to ensure that the distance between the welding gun and the weld is always equal, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weld; the present invention designs a positioning mechanism, the electromagnetic suction table electromagnetically absorbs the steel plate, and the fixed angles of the three groups of oblique rods make the three groups of steel plates in two mutually perpendicular planes. The visual inspection probe feeds back an electrical signal to the second two-axis platform and the electric turntable, and the electric turntable drives the steel plate to rotate for fine adjustment, and the second The two-axis platform drives the steel plate to move along the x-axis and y-axis in its horizontal plane. The edges of two adjacent groups of steel plates are parallel and then contact each other, so that the three groups of steel plates are pre-assembled into a three-dimensional right-angle space that is perpendicular to each other. During welding, the density of the weld points is monitored in real time by the visual inspection probe to see whether it meets the specified standards. The present invention designs a detection mechanism. After welding is completed, the output end of the second cylinder pushes the triangular iron frame to contact the three groups of steel plates. The external air pump is connected to the air valve to vacuum. The space formed by the triangular iron frame and the three groups of steel plates is evacuated, and the air tightness of the weld is detected by observing the pressure gauge reading.

In the initial state, the support rods 351 are located in the first slide groove 311 near the center of the chassis frame 31 and perpendicular to the chassis frame 31. The camber pulley 363 contacts both sides of the three groups of welds. The output end of the first cylinder 32 pulls the top plate 34 toward the chassis frame 31. The top plate 34 compresses the spring rod 33, and the support rods 351 rotate away from the center of the chassis frame 31. The camber pulley 363 contacts both sides of the three groups of welds. 63 moves in a straight line away from the center of the chassis frame 31 along the weld seam, driving the welding gun 372 to weld a group of gaps. The laser positioner 55 identifies the distance between the welding gun 372 and the weld seam, and feeds back an electrical signal to the first two-axis platform 371. The first two-axis platform 371 drives the welding gun 372 to make an x-axis and y-axis displacement in a 45-degree plane between the two groups of perpendicular steel plates to ensure that the distance between the welding gun 372 and the weld seam is always equal to ensure the weld seam accuracy. After completing a weld seam, the rotating mechanism 4 will turn the welding machine Structure 37 moves to the gap between two adjacent groups of mutually perpendicular steel plates to complete the welding between welds of different angles. While welding, the density of the weld points is monitored in real time through the visual inspection probe 54 to see if it meets the specified standards. After welding is completed, the output end of the second cylinder 61 pushes the triangular iron frame 62. The three sides of the triangular iron frame 62 contact the three groups of steel plates respectively. The external air pump is connected through the air valve 63 to evacuate the space formed by the triangular iron frame 62 and the three groups of steel plates. The air tightness of the weld is detected by observing the reading of the pressure gauge 64.
