Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding robots, and specifically to an automated robot for ship welding and its usage method. Background Art
[0002] A ship bulkhead includes a bulkhead that divides the ship space between the ship side bulkhead and the interior of the ship. Some ship side bulkheads have arcs. When welding the ship side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead inside the ship, personnel need to hold the welding pad and weld along the ship side bulkhead. During this process, it is necessary to adjust the distance between the welding torch and the ship side bulkhead, resulting in high labor intensity.
[0003] The defects of existing welding robots are as follows: 1. The prior art KR1019950010971B1 discloses a ship assembly welding robot. When welding the arc-shaped side wall of a ship, this technology does not have a structure for automatically adjusting the distance between the welding head and the ship side bulkhead. If the position of the welding head is not changed when the distance between the welding head and the ship side bulkhead changes, it is easy to cause a collision between the welding head and the bulkhead, resulting in damage to the welding head. Therefore, an automated robot for ship welding that can automatically adjust the distance between the welding head and the ship side bulkhead is needed to solve this problem.
[0004] 2. The prior art KR1020090073375A discloses a welding robot for constructing a ship hull. This technology does not have a structure for setting a laser rangefinder to measure the distance between the welding head and the welded component. When a laser rangefinder is set to measure the distance, the laser rangefinder is easily covered by dust generated during welding, resulting in poor measurement accuracy of the laser rangefinder. Therefore, an automated robot for ship welding that can measure the distance between the welding head and the welded component and can remove dust from the laser rangefinder is needed to solve this problem.
[0005] 3. The prior art KR1020130026653A discloses a welding robot. This technology does not have a structure for stably fixing the device inside the ship. When the welding robot is collided, it is easy to move, resulting in a collision between the welding head and the ship, causing an incorrect welding position or damage to the welding head. Therefore, an automated robot for ship welding that can fix the welding robot inside the ship and is not easily moved by collision is needed to solve this problem.
[0006] 4. The prior art CN114178758B discloses a ship welding robot, which does not have a structure for scraping the attached impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom. When there are difficult-to-clean attached impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom, the attached impurities are likely to cause the suction cup to be unable to effectively adsorb the wet inner wall of the ship bottom, resulting in the welding robot being unable to be stably fixed inside the ship. Therefore, an automated robot for ship welding with a structure for scraping the attached impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, the using method of the automatic robot for ship welding is as follows: S1. When welding the curved side bulkhead and transverse bulkhead of the ship, align the welding nozzle with the gap between the side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead. Then, place the welding electrode inside the frame. At the same time, rotate the second bolt to drive the pressing plate to press the welding electrode, and move the laser ranging unit to the lower rear of the welding nozzle to the left. S2.

[0020] The present invention rotates the support rod backward, and then the hydraulic telescopic unit three drives the support rod to move downwards so that the suction cup adsorbs the wet inner wall of the ship's bottom, thereby avoiding the movement of the device when it is accidentally collided and ensuring the stability when the welding nozzle welds the ship's side bulkhead.

The third bolt 41 plays a role in limiting, and can prevent the movable rectangular rod 39 from falling off the second block 38.
[0033] The usage method of the automated robot for ship welding is as follows: S1. When welding the curved side bulkhead and transverse bulkhead of the ship, align the welding nozzle 14 with the gap between the side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead. Then place the welding electrode in the frame 30, and at the same time rotate the second bolt 31 to drive the pressing plate 32 to press the welding electrode, and move the laser ranging unit 19 to the lower rear of the welding nozzle 14 to the left; S2. Then rotate the support rod 36 backward, and then the third hydraulic telescopic unit 33 drives the support rod 36 to move downward so that the suction cups 37 adsorb on the inner wall of the ship bottom; S3. Then the first motor 4 drives the welding nozzle 14 to move downward. The welding nozzle 14 sprays high-temperature gas to melt the welding electrode, and the melted welding electrode welds the ship side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead together.
[0034] In S2, the following steps are further included: S21. When there are adhered impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom, the scraping rod 40 is moved downward, and then the support rod 36 is rotated to drive the scraping rod 40 to scrape the impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the adhered impurities. The following steps are also included in S3: S31. At the same time, the laser ranging unit 19 measures the distance between itself and the ship side bulkhead during the downward movement, and thus the control unit 3 controls the electric telescopic unit three 9 to drive the welding nozzle 14 to move back and forth according to the change of the measured distance, so that the distance between the welding nozzle 14 and the ship side bulkhead is at an appropriate distance. S32. When the plate three 18 moves downward to be close to the inner wall of the ship bottom, the staff controls the laser ranging unit 19 to move right first and then up through the control unit 3 to prevent the plate three 18 from interfering with the downward movement of the welding nozzle 14.
[0035] Working principle: Before using the automated robot for ship welding, it should be checked first whether there are any problems affecting its use. When welding the curved side bulkhead and transverse bulkhead of the ship, the welding nozzle 14 is aligned with the gap between the side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead. Then, the welding rod is placed inside the frame 30, and at the same time, the bolt two 31 is rotated to drive the pressing plate 32 to press the welding rod, and the laser ranging unit 19 is moved to the rear lower part of the welding nozzle 14 to the left. The ground behind the moving plate 1 is cleaned of dust and then wetted. Then, the support rod 36 is rotated backward, and subsequently, the hydraulic telescopic unit three 33 drives the support rod 36 to move downward so that the suction cup 37 adsorbs the inner wall of the ship bottom. Then, the motor one 4 drives the welding nozzle 14 to move downward. The welding nozzle 14 sprays high-temperature gas to melt the welding rod, and the melted welding rod welds the ship side bulkhead and the transverse bulkhead together. At the same time, the laser ranging unit 19 measures the distance between itself and the ship side bulkhead during the downward movement, and thus the control unit 3 controls the electric telescopic unit three 9 to drive the welding nozzle 14 to move back and forth according to the change of the measured distance, so that the distance between the welding nozzle 14 and the ship side bulkhead is at an appropriate distance. When the plate three 18 moves downward to be close to the inner wall of the ship bottom, the staff controls the laser ranging unit 19 to move right first and then up through the control unit 3 to prevent the plate three 18 from interfering with the downward movement of the welding nozzle 14. When there are adhered impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom that are not easily removed, the scraping rod 40 is moved downward, and then the support rod 36 is rotated to drive the scraping rod 40 to scrape the impurities on the inner wall of the ship bottom, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the adhered impurities.
