Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated welding technology, and specifically relates to an automated welding device and welding method for a cross-support platform. Background Technology
[0002] The cross-bracing platform is a structural design widely used in construction, bridges, and mechanical engineering. It mainly consists of a platform base plate and a pair of welded side plates. Several reinforcing ribs are welded to the base plate to further increase structural stability and reduce deformation. However, cross-bracing platforms are large in size, requiring assembly and clamping at different angles during welding. Lifting machinery is used to clamp and place the plates, and ground-based lifting machinery is used for assembly. The accuracy of the assembly position cannot be guaranteed, and each assembly is time-consuming and inefficient. During welding, the platform base plate absorbs a large amount of heat in a short time, causing thermal deformation. Large cross-bracing platforms often have poor overall flatness after welding, and the weld seams are prone to stress deformation and cracking, compromising weld quality.
[0003] A search revealed an automated welding device and method for I-shaped rods, with prior art patent publication number CN 118342179 A. The device includes an I-shaped rod, a sliding welding platform mounted on top of the rod, and sliding blocks fixed to both sides of the bottom of the platform. The platform is mounted on the rod via these blocks. A rotary mechanism is slidably mounted on top of the platform, and a drag-and-teach collaborative robot is mounted on top of the rotary mechanism. This device automates welding operations on the I-shaped rod according to a specific welding sequence using the sliding welding platform. However, it cannot adjust the workpiece welding position, thus failing to guarantee the welding dimensions.
[0004] A search revealed an automated automotive body welding device with patent publication number CN 118926796 A. This device includes a welding platform, a body clamping mechanism that can adjust the clamping components to a rectangular or circular body tube clamping state via an adjusting component, a positioning and calibration mechanism with an integrated clamping and grinding mechanism, and a flexible variable-distance calibration mechanism to determine the specific welding position of the positioning pin. A fixing component ensures the positioning pin remains stable during welding, and a grinding component treats the weld seam and weld beads produced after welding. While this device stabilizes the positioning pin during welding through the fixing component, it cannot solve the problem of deformation caused by rapid heating of parts during welding. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an automated welding equipment and method for a cross-support platform. A flipping positioning mechanism, in conjunction with a pressing positioning mechanism, positions the rear end of the platform base plate and presses it down onto the lifting plate I, limiting the position of the platform base plate and ensuring the positioning for assembly and welding. A side alignment mechanism, in conjunction with a side plate clamping mechanism, removes the platform side plate from the workpiece holder, ensuring that the opening on the clamped platform side plate aligns with the boss on the platform base plate, thus performing a primary assembly of the platform side plate. A stiffener positioning mechanism, in conjunction with a fine-tuning mechanism, clamps and removes the platform stiffener from the workpiece holder, adjusting the distance between the two sides of the clamped platform stiffener according to the welding position, performing a secondary assembly of the platform stiffener, further completing the automated assembly and welding of the cross-support platform. This ensures weld quality and overall platform flatness, solving the technical problem of stress-induced weld cracking after welding.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] S1. Support Platform Material Preparation: The support platform includes a platform base plate, platform side plates, and platform stiffeners. The platform base plate is 12mm thick, the platform side plates are 10mm thick, and the platform stiffeners are 8mm thick. The material used is Q235B steel plate, which is laser-cut. After cutting, the burrs and flash are ground off, and the steel plate surface is cleaned. The straightness deviation of the cut is ≤1‰ to ensure that the cut is smooth and flat and meets the welding standards.
[0009] S2. Welding method and parameter settings: Gas shielded welding is adopted. Select welding wire that matches the base material, specifically ER50-6, with a wire diameter of 1.2-1.6mm, and use Ar+CO2 as the shielding gas.
[0010] S3, One-time billet assembly: The conveying platform transports the platform base plate to the moving positioning platform. The moving positioning platform positions the platform base plate. The side plate positioning mechanism clamps the platform side plate and adjusts its position to ensure that the opening on the platform side plate aligns with the protrusion on the platform base plate. The platform side plate and the platform base plate are then assembled.
[0011] S4. Single Welding: The welding robot II in the mobile welding mechanism performs intermittent welding at the joint between the platform side plate and the platform bottom plate. The welding current is set to 120-200A, the welding voltage to 22-26V, the gas flow rate to 12-15L / min, the weld length to 10-20mm, the weld spacing to 200-300mm, and the weld leg size to ≥6mm. Intermittent welding fixes the platform bottom plate and side plate, reducing heat input and controlling deformation.
[0012] S5. Secondary assembly: The semi-finished product after the platform side plate and platform bottom plate are welded and fixed by the moving positioning platform continues to be transported forward. The fixing mechanism clamps the platform side plate and platform bottom plate to reduce the amount of deformation. The rib plate positioning mechanism clamps the platform rib plate and adjusts the position of the platform rib plate to assemble the platform rib plate and platform bottom plate.
[0013] S6. Secondary Welding: Full welding is performed on the platform stiffeners and the overlap between the platform bottom plate and the platform side plate using welding robot I. The welding current is 200-300A, the welding voltage is 26-32V, the gas flow rate is 15-20L / min, and the welding speed is 200-500mm / min. When welding with welding robot I, the welding torch is tilted backward, and the welding torch and the workpiece are kept at an angle of 10°-15° to increase the penetration depth, reduce air intrusion, and reduce the probability of porosity. The welding process complies with GB 50661-2011 standard.
[0014] S7. Post-weld treatment: Reset and retract the moving positioning platform, side plate positioning mechanism, and stiffener positioning mechanism; remove welding slag and spatter from the surface of the support platform, grind the weld beads, and check the appearance quality of the weld to ensure there are no defects such as leaks or porosity.
[0015] S8. After the post-weld treatment is completed, the welded finished product is transferred by hoisting.
