Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of arc welding, in particular to a high-frequency and high-voltage arc starting device with low interference for tungsten inert gas arc welding. Background Art

[0002] Tungsten inert gas welding, also known as TIG welding, is an arc welding method that generates heat between the non-consumable tungsten electrode and the workpiece. It is often used for welding non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, copper alloys, etc. Therefore, as a high-precision welding process, it is widely used in aerospace, nuclear industry and other fields.

[0003] Tungsten inert gas welding usually uses two methods: contact arc starting and non-contact arc starting. However, since contact arc starting can easily cause tungsten to be clamped in the workpiece, non-contact arc starting is used in practice. Non-contact arc starting generally uses high frequency and high voltage, but this method often brings huge conduction interference to the power grid, causing the equipment in the power grid to not work properly or damage the equipment. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study new arc starting circuits and reduce conduction interference.

[0004] There are many studies on arc starting related to tungsten inert gas welding. Li Liangyu et al. summarized and analyzed contact arc starting and non-contact arc starting in 1995. For non-contact arc starting, there are high-frequency high-voltage and high-voltage pulse methods, which are harmful to welders and equipment, indicating that the arc starting process is related to the electrode material and type, shielding gas, the gap between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece, and the external characteristics of the power supply. In 1997, Shao Chengji et al. gave different non-contact arc starting methods, such as double tungsten electrode high-frequency high-voltage arc starting, inverter vacuum arrester arc starter, double frequency high-voltage pulse arc starter, piezoelectric crystal arc starter, thyristor high-voltage pulse arc starter, etc. Shi Linan et al. conducted relevant mechanism analysis on the arc starting process of tungsten inert gas welding and MIG welding, and proposed a new method of laser-assisted tungsten inert gas welding arc starting. The patent "Arc Starting Method for Automated Welding System" Publication No. CN109648174B proposes an arc starting method for automated welding, which is essentially an automated realization of contact arc starting. In addition, in "Arc welding equipment Part 10: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements"

[0005] In GB / T15579.10-2020, the standard specifies the requirements and test methods for electric welding machines during normal operation, but there is no clear definition for the arc striking process. These studies have the following shortcomings:

[0006] 1) Only different arc striking methods or mechanism analysis are proposed, but no quantitative research on the arc striking process's interference with power grid conduction is conducted;

[0070] The arc ignition device circuit and the conducted interference test platform were built, and the conducted interference test and comparison were carried out between the domestic single-phase argon arc welding WS-250S and the Fronius iWave230. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0071] according to Figure 1 The circuit parameters provided are used to build the circuit, where the soft-switching zero-voltage oscillation circuit is composed of resistor R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , diode D 1 , D 2 , Zener tube D 3 , D 4 , FET Q 1 , Q 2 , inductance L 1 And DC high voltage package T 1 Composed of 5 It is the rectification inside the high voltage package.

[0073] according to Figure 2 The test platform for conducted interference was built. The linear impedance stabilization network (LISN) used the EM5040B model of Zhiyong Company, the oscilloscope used the SDS824X four-channel oscilloscope of Dingyang, and the high-voltage probe used the RIGOL RP1010H. The interference receiving device used the GW Instek GSP-818 spectrum analyzer, which has an EMI mode and complies with the international electromagnetic compatibility standard CISPR16-1-1. During the test, the high-pass filter at the output end of the LISN was set to 150KHz. The resolution bandwidth RBW and video bandwidth VBW of the spectrum analyzer were set to 9KHz according to the standard. The start frequency was set to 150KHz and the end frequency was set to 30MHz.

[0074] Figure 3 is the gate voltage signal of the field effect tube, proving that Q 1 and Q 2 Alternate push-pull conduction; Figure 4 The current and voltage signals of a single field effect tube confirm the quasi-resonance and close to zero voltage turn-on and turn-off; Figure 5 It is the high voltage package T 1 The primary electrical signal proves that the entire circuit system has produced self-excited oscillation; Figure 6 is the coupled inductor T 2 The voltage on the secondary side is also the arc striking voltage between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece.

[0075] On the single-phase domestic argon arc welding machine WS-250S, the interference of the arc starting method is compared based on the conducted interference test platform, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown. It is found that when welding without load (arcing), the maximum quasi-peak value of the live wire of the original arc starting circuit is 98.37dBuV, while the zero voltage soft switch arc starting circuit is 85.76dBuV, which is 12.61dB less, which is equivalent to the voltage interference of only 23.4% of the original arc starting. Under the gap of 1mm, when the arc is started normally instantly, the maximum quasi-peak value of the live wire of the original arc starting circuit is 79.78dBuV, while the zero voltage interference is reduced to 70.26dBuV, which is 9.52dB less, which is equivalent to the voltage interference of only 33.4% of the original arc starting.

[0076] Working principle:

[0077] Soft switching zero voltage technology (ZVS):

[0078] Through the inductor L 1 With capacitor C 1 / Capacitance C 2 The resonance of the field effect tube Q 1 / Effect tube Q 2Switching to the on state when the voltage passes through zero avoids the voltage / current mutation of traditional hard switching and significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI).

[0079] Effect tube Q 1 / Effect tube Q 2 The alternating conduction self-excited oscillation mode does not require an external drive signal, simplifies the circuit structure and improves reliability.

[0080] Two-stage boost and energy transmission:

[0081] Through the high voltage package T 1 The 12:3000 turns ratio can boost the low-voltage high-frequency signal to several thousand volts to meet the requirements of breaking through the air gap.

[0082] Coupled inductor T 2 The 10:25 turns ratio further amplifies the voltage, ensuring the stability and strength of the arc ignition signal.

[0083] Spark gap and RLC oscillation:

[0084] The spark gap HF acts as a switching element and only at the capacitor C 3 When the voltage reaches the threshold, it turns on, forming a pulse discharge, reducing the impact of continuous high voltage on the circuit.

[0085] The parameters of the RLC circuit (capacitor C 3 =470pF, coupled inductor T 2 The primary inductor is designed to match the high frequency (about MHz level) required for arc ignition to ensure efficient energy transmission.

[0086] Conducted interference suppression mechanism:

[0087] ZVS technology reduces voltage spikes and current surges during switching, suppressing high-frequency noise at the source.

[0088] The attenuation characteristics of the RLC oscillation signal further weaken the high-frequency harmonics and reduce the conducted interference to the power grid.

[0089] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned soft-switching zero-voltage high-frequency high-voltage tungsten-inert gas arc welding arc-starting device. The device generates quasi-resonance through a push-pull self-excitation circuit, reduces the electromagnetic interference of the switch tube, and at the same time, 1 Generate sinusoidal AC input. Circuit oscillation is formed through spark gap HF and other devices, and then coupled inductor T 2 , forming a high-frequency and high-voltage arc-starting electrical signal at the end of the welding gun.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
