Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of arc welding, and specifically to an environment-friendly automatic arc welding machine and method for flange parts processing. Background Art

[0002] In traditional pipe connections, flanges often rely on gaskets and bolts to achieve sealing. However, in some harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, or medium corrosion, mechanical connections are difficult to ensure long-term stable sealing performance. Therefore, "integrating" the flange with the pipe or equipment through welding not only eliminates the leakage risk caused by gasket aging but also significantly improves the impact resistance and fatigue resistance of the overall connection. By forming an integrated structure through welding connection, it can better resist the vibration and thermal stress generated during operation, thus ensuring the long-term stable and safe operation of the system.

[0003] Publication No. CN118357555A discloses a handheld precision flange welding device, including a rotating disk, and a fixing device is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating disk. It also includes: a gun body, one end of the gun body is fixedly connected to an air intake pipe, and the other end of the gun body is fixedly installed with a welding head; a wire feeding mechanism, on which a welding wire is wound; a roller, a rotating shaft is arranged inside the roller, one end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and a plurality of dividing rods are fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft. One ends of the plurality of dividing rods away from the rotating shaft are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the roller; a limiting rod, one ends of the two limiting rods respectively extend into the corresponding rollers after threading through the side wall of the gun body in a threaded manner. It can relatively easily complete the fish-scale welding, greatly reducing the skill requirements and costs of fish-scale welding, and because of the simple operation, the situation of device damage caused by operation is greatly reduced.

[0004] During the welding process, the quality of the weld directly affects the strength and sealing performance of the overall structure, and the quality of the weld is closely related to the welder's control of key parameters such as welding speed, wire feeding method, and the angle between the electrode and the weld. When the weld of the flange is wide, the methods of swing welding and segmented wire feeding are usually adopted, further increasing the welding difficulty.

[0005] As in the above patent, by supporting the welding gun, the welding difficulty is reduced. However, when the welding gun is supported, the positions of the welding gun and the two support points are fixed. After the welding gun swings, the distance between the electrode and the weld will change, and during the welding process, the welding gun needs to move circumferentially around the flange axis at a fixed angle. Therefore, the frictional force generated by the contact between the support point and the flange will also cause resistance to the movement of the welding gun.

[0006] Therefore, this application proposes an environment-friendly automatic arc welding machine and method, which avoid interfering with the change in the distance between the electrode and the weld caused by the movement of the welding gun while supporting the welding gun.

[0029] The above explanations do not fully cover the relationship definitions given in this application, but only represent a part of this application.

[0030] The present invention provides an environment-friendly automatic arc welder for flange parts processing, which is used for flange welding. Compared with small welds, the quality of this application is more stable when welding large welds, and correspondingly, the skill requirements for welders are also reduced.

[0031] Refer to Figures 1 - 5As shown, the automatic arc welding machine includes a power supply 1 with a heat dissipation function, and the power supply 1 is configured with a control system for adjusting welding parameters and displaying the parameters through a display panel; The output end of the power supply 1 is provided with a welding gun 2 for holding a welding rod; The outer side of the welding gun 2 is provided with a guide frame 31 for limiting the welding rod to extend toward the flange axis at a suitable welding angle. The guide frame 31 and the welding gun 2 are adapted to form a guide groove 311 and a support rod 312. The support rod 312 is located in the guide groove 311 and moves with the welding gun 2. The guide groove 311 and the support rod 312 cooperate to determine the extension direction of the welding rod but do not limit the position of the projection point of the welding rod on the flange axis after the welding rod extends in this direction. The guide frame 31 plays the role of receiving the welding gun 2 and limiting its position in the support unit 3. A positioning member 4 inserted into the flange mounting hole is arranged on the outside of the support unit 3. The positioning member 4 and the support unit 3 work together to limit the movement path and angle of the welding gun 2.

[0032] In one feasible method, the quality of the weld between the flange and the shaft is closely related to the welding speed, the rod feeding method, and the angle between the electrode and the weld. Since the welding parameters can be achieved through the control system and are fixed factors, and the welding speed, the rod feeding method, and the angle between the electrode and the weld are all human factors, after stabilizing the human factors, the overall quality of the welding can be improved and the requirements for the welder's skills for flange welding can be reduced.

[0033] Among them, by positioning the welding gun 2 with the guide frame 31, it is possible to ensure that the welding rod is always kept at the optimal angle during the welding process, thereby reducing welding defects caused by angle deviation and further improving the uniformity and strength of the weld. At the same time, the design of the guide frame 31 makes the welder more convenient to operate, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves work efficiency.

[0034] By precisely controlling welding parameters and welding gun 2 angles, human errors are effectively reduced, ensuring stable weld quality. Even in complex environments, efficient welding can be maintained, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing dependence on highly skilled welders, and saving costs for the company.

[0035] See also Figures 7 - 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide frame 31 is open, and the welding gun 2 can be separated from the guide frame 31 and used alone. The guide frame 31 is swingable, and the end of the guide frame 31 away from the guide groove 311 is provided with a rotating shaft 11a and swings circumferentially around its axis. A limiter 12a is configured on the outside of the rotating shaft 11a and inserted into the inside of the limiter 12a. The limiter 12a limits the swing angle of the guide frame 31 to determine the welding path of the welding rod.

[0036] In an implementable manner, the guiding frame 31 is arranged in an open manner, providing greater freedom for the welder during the welding process. Under this condition, the guiding frame 31 supports the welding torch 2 more flexibly, ensuring both the accuracy of welding and allowing the welder to finely adjust the position of the welding torch 2 according to the actual situation, further optimizing the welding effect and ensuring the double improvement of the weld quality and work efficiency.

[0037] Among them, the guiding frame 31 does not interfere with the normal use of the welding head. Instead, through delicate design, it provides stable support when needed and flexibly avoids when not needed, ensuring the smooth operation of the welder and the consistency of the weld, thus taking into account the convenience and high efficiency of operation while improving the welding quality.

[0038] Refer to Figures 10 - 12 As shown, in an embodiment, the stopper 12a includes: A housing 13a, sleeved outside the rotating shaft 11a. Inside the housing 13a, limiting blocks 14a are symmetrically arranged. One side of the limiting block 14a close to the rotating shaft 11a is arc-shaped, and the swinging angles of the two limiting blocks 14a change the swing range of the rotating shaft 11a; A chuck 15a, rotatably installed outside the housing 13a and extending into the housing 13a. At one end of the chuck 15a extending into the housing 13a, a plurality of card slots 16a for clamping the limiting blocks 14a are provided. When the chuck 15a rotates, the card slots 16a engaged with the limiting blocks 14a change, and the rotating shaft 11a rotates with an eccentric axis; An elastic member 17a, located on one side of the limiting block 14a to push it to stably engage with the card slot 16a.

[0039] In an implementable manner, the stopper 12a is used to limit the swing angle of the rotating shaft 11a corresponding to the welding areas of different welds. After adjusting the limiting blocks 14a inside the stopper 12a, the different swing ranges of the rotating shaft 11a are correspondingly adjusted.

[0040] The rotating shaft 11a is of a two-piece design and the axes do not coincide. The rotating shaft 11a rotates around one axis as the center of rotation, and the other part moves eccentrically and contacts the limiting block 14a. When the rotating shaft 11a rotates, it gradually presses the limiting block 14a. One side of the limiting block 14a in contact with the rotating shaft 11a is arc-shaped and can be made of an elastic material. Therefore, during the swinging process of the rotating shaft 11a, it can not only achieve precise positioning but also provide a certain buffer, effectively avoiding mechanical damage caused by rigid collision and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0041] Optionally, the support member is a spring, located inside the housing 13a and supporting the limiting block 14a.

[0042] Another option is that the support member is a spring sheet, and the spring sheet supports the limiting block 14a.

[0043] In another embodiment, a positioning frame is provided on the outer side of the limit block 14a, the elastic member 17a is arranged to support the positioning frame on one side of the positioning frame, the card slot 16a meshes with the positioning frame, and the chuck 15a rotates to change the card slot 16a meshing with the positioning frame, so that the positioning frame changes to different positions, and the positioning frame squeezes the limit block 14a, causing the limit frame to shrink to different degrees.

[0044] In another embodiment, the number of chucks 15a is the same as the number of limit blocks 14a, and each controls a limit block 14a respectively, so as to be able to adjust the range of the swing of the rotating shaft 11a to both sides, realize more refined angle control, ensure the stability and flexibility of the welding torch 2 during the welding process, and further improve the welding quality and efficiency.

[0045] Refer to Figures 13 - 16 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide frame 31 is of a closed design, the support rod 312 is restricted inside the guide groove 311, and the welding torch 2 connected to the support rod 312 slides in the guide groove 311. A limit head 12b is arranged inside the guide groove 311, and the limit head 12b restricts the sliding range of the support rod 312; Wherein, when the support rod 312 is at any position inside the guide groove 311, the welding rod inside the welding torch 2 faces the flange axis at a fixed angle.

[0046] In an implementable manner, the guide frame 31 adjusts the slidable position of the welding torch 2 by adjusting the position of the limit head 12b. Due to the closed design of the guide frame 31, the welding torch 2 has better stability. The welder only needs to control the sliding distance of the welding torch 2 and does not need to additionally control the stability of the welding torch 2. Therefore, compared with the open design of the guide frame 31, the closed design has lower requirements for the welder's skills. However, compared with the open guide frame 31, the slidable range of the welding torch 2 is limited to a certain extent, which is suitable for welding tasks with higher precision requirements to ensure that the weld is uniform and without deviation.

[0047] Refer to Figures 13 - 16 As shown, in one embodiment, a limit groove 11b is opened inside the guide groove 311 to connect with the limit head 12b. The limit head 12b includes: A fixed part 13b and a movable part 14b. The fixed part 13b extends into the limit groove 11b and is connected to the limit groove 11b. In this state, the limit head 12b cannot move relative to the guide groove 311. The movable part 14b is connected to the fixed part 13b and controls the expansion and contraction of the fixed part 13b; A magnetic plate 15b is arranged at one end of the fixed part 13b, and the magnetic plate 15b generates magnetic force cooperation with the support rod 312.

[0048] Among them, a magnet 16b is embedded inside the support rod 312, and the magnet 16b cooperates with the magnetic plate 15b to generate a repulsive force. When the support rod 312 approaches the limit head 12b, the repulsive force increases, effectively preventing the support rod 312 from colliding with the limit head 12b with a large force, thereby further protecting the limit head 12b and the support rod 312, reducing wear and tear, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0049] In one feasible method, the magnetic plate 15b is made of a highly magnetic material to ensure that the magnetic force is stable and lasting. The cooperation between the magnetic plate 15b and the magnet 16b can effectively buffer the impact force of the support rod 312. When the welder moves the welding gun 2 left and right, he feels obvious magnetic feedback, avoiding excessive force, thereby increasing the accuracy and safety of the welding operation and improving the welding quality.

[0050] See also Figures 13 - 16 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing portion 13b includes: The frame 17b is disposed in the guide groove 311 and contacts the inner wall of the guide groove 311. The movable portion 14b extends into the frame 17b. An engagement block 18b is disposed inside the frame 17b. The engagement block 18b is retracted inside the frame 17b. An engagement strip 19b made of a buffer material is disposed inside the limiting groove 11b. The engagement block 18b extends out to engage with the engagement strip 19b. A support spring 110b, located at the back end of the engagement block 18b and supporting the engagement block 18b; The movable portion 14b contacts the engagement block 18b, and the movable portion 14b is pressed inward to contract the engagement block 18b.

[0051] In one feasible method, the engaging block 18b and the engaging strip 19b are both made of wear-resistant material to ensure that they will not deform during long-term use. In the present application, the engaging strip 19b is made of rubber material, which has excellent elasticity and wear resistance, and increases the friction with the engaging block 18b, effectively preventing loosening during sliding, and ensuring the stability of the position of the welding gun 2 during welding. Since it only needs to play a limiting role on the welding gun 2, the welding gun 2 will not produce a large impact when moving to both ends.

[0052] In this embodiment, the movable portion 14b is an insertion rod. The movable portion 14b can slide and change position after being pressed, and the end of the engagement strip 19b away from the engagement block 18b is glued to the inner wall of the guide groove 311 to ensure the stability of the engagement strip 19b.

[0053] See also Figure 18 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning member 4 includes: The positioning head 41 is arranged in a stepped manner, one end of the positioning head 41 extends into the inside of the flange mounting hole, and an engagement groove 42 is arranged at one end of the positioning head 41 located outside the flange, and the support unit 3 cooperates with the engagement groove 42; The mounting head 43 is threadedly mounted on one end of the positioning head 41 extending into the flange mounting hole. A centering member 44 is provided between the mounting head 43 and the positioning head 41 to support the mounting head 43 to be coaxial with the mounting hole.

[0054] Optionally, the centering member 44 is a spring piece, which is arc-shaped. Both ends of the spring piece respectively contact the mounting head 43 and the positioning head 41. During the process of screwing the mounting head 43 tightly, the spring piece generates elastic deformation to ensure that the mounting head 43 and the positioning head 41 always remain coaxial. Wherein, contact rings are arranged on both sides of the spring piece, and the contact rings are in close fit with the mounting head 43 and the positioning head 41 to enhance the friction force and prevent loosening.

[0055] The design of the spring piece not only improves the stability of installation, but also simplifies the assembly process and reduces the maintenance frequency. The positioning head 41 is inserted into the mounting hole, thereby changing the ring diameter formed by the positioning head 41 to adapt to different sizes of flanges.

[0056] Refer to Figure 17 and Figures 19 - 21 As shown, in one embodiment, the support unit 3 includes: A connecting portion 32, which is connected to the guiding frame 31. Adjusting portions 33 are provided on both sides of the connecting portion 32. The adjusting portions 33 are hinged to the connecting portion 32. Clamping pieces 34 are arranged on both sides of the connecting portion 32, and the clamping pieces 34 contact and support the adjusting portions 33; A chuck 35 is arranged between the connecting portion 32 and the adjusting portion 33.
