Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mooring chain welding, and particularly relates to a mooring chain welding machine with a preheating tooling. Background Art

[0002] Mooring chains are essential key components in important marine equipment such as ships, offshore platforms, and port facilities. They are mainly used to fix the positions of ships or platforms. Mooring chains are usually made of high-strength steel, and their manufacturing process requires extremely high precision and quality to ensure good load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance during use. In the manufacturing process of mooring chains, welding is one of the most critical processes. During the welding process, the welded parts need to have sufficient strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance to ensure the long-term stable use of mooring chains. During the welding of the cross bars in the middle of mooring chains, due to the temperature change in the welding area and the contact of different materials, problems may occur in the performance of the welded metal. Especially when welding high-strength steel, cracks, welding defects, etc. are likely to occur in the welded parts, thus affecting the welding quality and the overall performance of mooring chains. Therefore, in order to improve the welding quality and avoid welding defects, the preheating technology has emerged. During the welding of high-strength steel, too large a temperature difference in the welded parts will cause phenomena such as cracks and stress concentration during welding, affecting the welding quality. Preheating can effectively reduce the thermal gradient during welding, reduce the stress and thermal deformation generated during welding, prevent the material from cooling prematurely, and make the temperature of the welded metal and the base material closer, thereby reducing the risk of welding defects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to ensure the firm and stable clamping of the mooring chain during the welding process through the coordinated action of the moving clamping device and the first and second clamping and welding devices, enabling the mooring chain to be accurately positioned during the welding process, avoiding welding deviation or unevenness. The heating device can preheat the mooring chain before welding to ensure that the metal material during the welding process remains within an appropriate temperature range, thereby improving the welding quality and reducing stress concentration, and avoiding problems such as welding defects.

The moving clamping device includes a first base. A moving device is arranged at the upper end of the first base. A first clamping and welding device is arranged on one side of the upper end of the moving device. A second clamping and welding device is arranged at the upper end of the first clamping and welding device. A cleaning device is arranged at the upper end of the second clamping and welding device. The moving device includes two first fixing blocks in an opposing state. A rotating motor is arranged on one side of the first fixing block. A lead screw is arranged at the output end of the rotating motor. A rotating shaft is connected to the lead screw. Slide rails are arranged on both sides of the lead screw.

The cleaning device can effectively remove impurities on the welding surface. After welding is completed, air is blown through the cleaning device to blow off the impurities, and the welding slag and gas are sucked out through the suction ports. Since welding operates at a high temperature, the clamping device has a high temperature after operation. The clamping and welding device is moved to the other side through the moving device, and air is blown through the air blowing and cooling ports for cooling. After the welded device is cooled, the processing of the next workpiece is carried out, increasing the service life of the device.

The design of the third fixed plate provides a stable support structure, which avoids displacement or vibration of the workpiece during welding, thereby ensuring welding quality.

[0008] Further, the second welding device includes a second clamping head, which is in the shape of four claws.

After the mooring chain reaches the welding area, the moving clamping device 3 adjusts its position through the moving device 32 to ensure that the clamping device can accurately clamp the mooring chain. The moving device 32 drives the slider 326 on the slide rail 325 through the rotating motor 322 and the lead screw 323 to achieve precise control of the clamping device. The first clamping and welding device 33 and the second clamping and welding device 34 provide support for completing the welding task. The first clamping and welding device 33 adjusts its clamping force and position through the first telescopic cylinder 332 to ensure the stability of the mooring chain. The second clamping and welding device 34 continues to accurately clamp the mooring chain to ensure that the welding process is not interfered. Each first clamping head 3351 and second clamping head 3451 provides precise welding head positioning through the motor-driven lead screw system to ensure the welding position and quality. During the welding process, the cleaning device 35 regularly removes the residues and welding slag on the welding fixture through the air jet head 353 to avoid the influence of these impurities on the welding quality. The design of the U-shaped support frame 351 and the air jet head 353 enables effective removal of these impurities to ensure the smooth progress of the welding process. After the clamping device precisely fixes the mooring chain, the first welding head 3356 and the second welding head 3456 perform precise forward and backward, up and down movements through the longitudinal and transverse lead screw motor moving devices of the control system to ensure the accuracy of welding. The automatic adjustment function of the welding head can adjust the welding depth and angle according to needs, thus ensuring the welding quality. After welding, the air blowing cooling port 312 on the clamping device cools the welding part quickly through air flow to prevent welding defects caused by overheating. The cooling process ensures the stability of the welded mooring chain. After welding and cooling, the completed mooring chain is transported to the final position by the conveying device, ready for the next step of processing or transportation.
