[0007] Compared with the existing status in the art, the present invention has the advantages of high welding efficiency, good quality and high automation because the multi-gun steel pipe flange automatic welding machine is equipped with a program control system and each step and action is controlled by program. The flange positioning device of the flange clamping device is provided with a lead screw, and the positioning active component and the positioning driven component are respectively provided with a right-handed nut and a left-handed nut screwed with the same lead screw. Therefore, when the lead screw drives the lead screw to rotate, the right-handed nut and the left-handed nut are simultaneously driven to move toward or away from the longitudinal symmetry plane of the frame, that is, the positioning active component and the positioning driven component of the flange positioning device are driven to reciprocate along the axial direction of the lead screw, thereby ensuring that the workpiece is always "centered" relative to the longitudinal symmetry plane of the frame, which not only realizes the precision of the workpiece.

Since the positioning tube pusher assembly of the steel pipe positioning device installed on the welding slide is provided with a tube pusher rod, the steel pipe can be pushed to move axially in the direction of the clamping table of the frame, so that the axial automatic movement of the steel pipe can be realized. Positioning; since the flange clamping device is installed on the bidirectional slider of the welding slide table through the clamping slide beam, the bidirectional slider and the flange clamping device installed on the bidirectional slider can be driven to move up and down along the column linear rail through the double slide drive, so it can adapt to the clamping requirements of flanges with different diameters; since the extension length of the steel pipe positioning drive cylinder rod of the radial positioning assembly of the steel pipe positioning device is adjustable, the height position of the positioning roller of the steel pipe positioning device can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the accurate position of the positioning roller relative to the outer circle of the steel pipe to be welded, and adapting to the positioning requirements of steel pipes with different diameters; since the welding slide table is equipped with slide table rollers and welding slide table drive, the welding slide table and the various devices installed on the welding slide table can be driven to reciprocate along the slide table guide rail arranged on the bottom frame of the frame, so as to achieve the desired positioning of the steel pipes of different diameters. It can not only adapt to the clamping requirements of steel pipes to be welded of different lengths, but also promote the axial movement of the steel pipes to be welded so as to realize accurate axial positioning of the steel pipes to be welded; since the inner welding slide beam of the inner welding gun assembly is installed on the clamping table linear rail arranged on the welding slide plate of the welding slide, the inner welding gun assembly is convenient to advance and retreat in the welding state and the non-welding state; since the relative position and angle between the welding gun telescopic assembly of the inner welding gun assembly and the outer welding gun assembly and the inner welding slide beam and the outer welding frame are adjustable, it is convenient to obtain the optimal position and angle of the welding wire clamp of the welding gun telescopic assembly relative to the weld to be welded; since the lateral position of the welding wire clamp of the welding gun telescopic assembly is adjustable and a fine-tuning assembly is provided, the accurate position of the welding wire clamp relative to the weld to be welded can be finely adjusted, thereby further ensuring the welding quality.

The cylinder rod of the inner welding cylinder of the inner welding gun assembly retracts, and drives the welding gun telescopic assembly to return to one side of the equipment through the inner welding slide beam; the cylinder rods of the welding cylinders of the inner welding gun assembly and the welding gun telescopic assembly of the outer welding gun assembly retract, and drive the welding wire clamp to return to the non-welding state through the telescopic slide block.
[0015] After the flange to be welded is accurately positioned, the cylinder rod of the clamping cylinder of the flange clamping device of the flange clamping device extends out, and drives the V-groove wheel to move downward through the clamping slider, thereby clamping the flange to be welded. At the same time, the cylinder rods of the positioning pusher cylinder and the positioning pusher cylinder of the positioning pusher assembly of the steel pipe positioning device extend out, and while driving the positioning pusher assembly to move toward the symmetrical surface of the clamping slide, the positioning pin is driven to extend and inserted into the bolt hole of the flange to be welded, and the pusher rod is aligned with the end face of the steel pipe to be welded. The welding table drive of the welding slide is started in reverse, and drives the welding slide and the positioning pin and pusher rod of the positioning pusher assembly of the steel pipe positioning device installed on the welding slide to move toward the clamping table of the frame, and the pusher rod of the positioning pusher assembly pushes the steel pipe to be welded to move together toward the clamping table of the frame; when the other end of the steel pipe to be welded contacts the pusher rod of the positioning pusher assembly of the steel pipe positioning device installed on the clamping table of the frame, the axial positioning of the steel pipe to be welded is completed and stops moving.
[0016] The cylinder rod of the welding cylinder of the welding gun telescopic assembly of the inner welding gun assembly and the outer welding gun assembly extends, and drives the welding wire clamp to extend through the telescopic slider. When the welding wire held by the welding wire clamp touches the workpiece to be welded, it "ignites" and spot welds the two flanges of the workpiece to be welded with the steel pipe. The cylinder rod of the welding cylinder quickly retracts and "extinguishes the fire". At the same time, the cylinder rod of the positioning tube push cylinder of the steel pipe positioning device retracts again, and drives the positioning pin and the tube push rod to return to the non-positioning state. The positioning drive of the positioning active component of the flange positioning device installed on the welding slide plate of the welding slide is started, and drives the V-groove wheel of the positioning active component through the positioning transmission component, and then drives the flange of the workpiece to be welded together with the steel pipe to rotate "360° / set number of spot weldings". The cylinder rod of the welding cylinder of the welding gun telescopic assembly extends again, and drives the welding wire clamp to extend to the welding state through the telescopic slider to spot weld again, until the set number of spot weldings is reached and the continuous welding operation begins. At the same time, the positioning drive is started again, and the flange and steel pipe of the workpiece to be welded are driven to rotate 360° at a constant speed through the V-groove wheel and then stop, completing the welding operation of the workpiece. The cylinder rod of the welding cylinder of the welding gun telescopic assembly of the inner welding gun assembly and the outer welding gun assembly is retracted again, and the welding wire clamp is driven to return to the non-welding state through the telescopic slider; the cylinder rod of the clamping cylinder of the flange clamping device is retracted again, and the V-groove wheel is driven to return to the workpiece release state through the clamping slider.
[0017] Then, after repeating the loading, positioning and clamping of the flange and the steel pipe of the workpiece to be welded, the welding operation is carried out again, and so on.
