Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding workstations, and particularly to a multi-functional automatic welding workstation and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a manufacturing process that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials by heating, high temperature or high pressure; there are many energy sources for modern welding, including gas flames, electric arcs, lasers, electron beams, friction, and ultrasonic waves, etc.

[0003] In the existing chemical fluid transportation system for actively regulating the medium pressure, a process scheme of adding a variable-diameter throttle pipe section between two main pipelines is usually adopted. When the system involves the connection of pipelines with special-shaped cross-sections (such as a special working condition where the upstream is a square pipe and the downstream is a circular pipe), the existing automatic welding equipment performs automatic welding on a three-section composite pipeline system composed of a square pipe, a circular pipe, and a variable-diameter throttle pipe through a PLC system. And before the chemical pipeline is used, it is necessary to flush and clean the inner and outer sides of the chemical pipeline to avoid contamination of catalysts and chemical solutions by sundries such as mud and sand. However, the residual water body after flushing cannot be removed in time, which makes the chemical pipeline prone to local corrosion. And if the components for flushing and removing the water body are controlled by the above-mentioned PLC system, it will cause the PLC system to be too bloated, which increases the debugging and maintenance costs of the PLC system. And when there is a local failure in the PLC system, the components for flushing and removing the water body will also fail and cannot be used, thus causing the interruption of the flushing and cleaning of the chemical pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that when the components for flushing and removing the water body are controlled by a PLC system in the prior art, it will increase the debugging and maintenance costs of the PLC system, and to propose a multi-functional automatic welding workstation and a control method thereof.

[0013] A control method for a multifunctional automatic welding workstation, comprising the following steps: Step S1: First, pass the throttle pipe, the square pipe orifice and the circular pipe orifice through the placing hole, and sequentially start the three clamping telescopic rods to clamp the throttle pipe. Then, sleeved one end of the square pipe between the two groups of fixed cylinders, and sleeved one end of the circular pipe between the two groups of fixed cylinders to perform multiple cleaning on the inner and outer sides of the square pipe, the circular pipe and the throttle pipe.

At the same time, since the cleaning operation process is independent, it allows the cleaning operation process to be independently optimized, avoiding affecting the normal use of the welding PLC system when optimizing the cleaning operation process.

[0016] 3. The present invention splits the flushing and cleaning outside the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube into four cleaning operation processes through the four push button switches at the moving square plate and the moving circular plate, namely the flushing and scraping and cleaning outside the square tube and the circular tube, as well as the flushing and cleaning outside the throttle tube and the heating and drying outside the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube, so that the operator can judge whether to start the next cleaning operation process according to the cleaning completion degree, thereby improving the independence of the cleaning operation process.

One vertical mounting plate 12 is connected to the square mounting plate 40 through a second mounting cylinder 45 and a second telescopic water pipe 46. The second mounting cylinder 45 and the second telescopic water pipe 46 extend to the inside of the square tube through the square hole to make the square mounting plate 40 move and clean inside the square tube. And the other vertical mounting plate 12 is connected to the circular mounting plate 41 through a second mounting cylinder 45 and a second telescopic water pipe 46. The second mounting cylinder 45 and the second telescopic water pipe 46 extend to the inside of the circular tube through the circular hole to make the circular mounting plate 41 move and clean inside the circular tube.

One temperature sensor 26 is electrically connected to one outer side resistance heater 17 and one inner side resistance heater 42, and the other temperature sensor 26 is electrically connected to one outer side resistance heater 17 and one inner side resistance heater 42.

[0025] After the inner and outer sides of the square pipe and the circular pipe are cleaned, while scraping off the residual water by the scraping bar 3, the outer side resistance heater 17 and the inner side resistance heater 42 are used to heat and evaporate the residual water, so as to promptly remove the residual water and reduce the risk of local corrosion of the pipeline. Moreover, an external switch is provided for the built-in water pump at the square mounting plate 40 and the circular mounting plate 41. When the external switch is pressed, the built-in water pump is turned off, and at the same time, the pressing switch 4 is ineffective, and the flushing function is turned off, so that after the flushing and scraping cleaning are completed, the square mounting plate 40 and the circular mounting plate 41 can be heated and dried by the inner side resistance heater 42. Moreover, the outer side resistance heater 17 and the inner side resistance heater 42 can preheat the inner and outer ends of the square pipe and the circular pipe. Since the throttle pipe 2, square pipe orifice, circular pipe orifice, square pipe, and circular pipe are all made of aluminum alloy with good thermal conductivity, the inner and outer ends of the square pipe and the circular pipe have uniform temperatures, avoiding cracks generated during welding due to large surface temperature differences of the square pipe and the circular pipe. The temperature sensors 26 are used to detect the surface temperatures of the square pipe and the circular pipe. When the surface temperatures of the square pipe and the circular pipe are too high, the two temperature sensors 26 transmit a closing signal to the outer side resistance heater 17 and the inner side resistance heater 42, and then the outer side resistance heater 17 and the inner side resistance heater 42 are automatically turned off. After the square tube and the circular tube are in limit support, the movable square plate 30 and the movable circular plate 35 can be located at the middle ends of the square tube and the circular tube, and the square mounting plate 40 and the circular mounting plate 41 can be moved for cleaning; or the square mounting plate 40 and the circular mounting plate 41 can be located at the middle ends of the square tube and the circular tube, and the movable square plate 30 and the movable circular plate 35 can be moved for cleaning; after the square tube and the circular tube are cleaned, the square tube and the circular tube are pushed to be connected with the throttle tube 2 through the square limit plate 13 and the circular limit plate 14. At this time, the movable square plate 30 and the square mounting plate 40 are dynamically moved to the left and right ends of the square tube, and the movable circular plate 35 and the circular mounting plate 41 are dynamically moved to the left and right ends of the circular tube to limit and support the square tube and the circular tube during the pushing process; The adjusting mechanism includes an upper mounting chamber 34, a connecting mounting frame 28 and a vertical cylinder 27. The upper mounting chamber 34 is fixedly mounted at the upper end of the frame 1. Two connecting mounting frames 28 are symmetrically and slidably mounted in the upper mounting chamber 34. Two vertical cylinders 27 are symmetrically and fixedly mounted in the upper mounting chamber 34, and the output end of one vertical cylinder 27 is fixedly connected to one connecting mounting frame 28.

[0026] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism further includes a fixed slide rail 31 and a pushing telescopic rod 33. As shown in the appendix Figure 2 The fixed slide rail 31 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one of the connecting mounting frames 28. The pushing telescopic rod 33 is fixedly mounted in the fixed slide rail 31. The first laser welder 7 is slidably sleeved in the fixed slide rail 31, and the first laser welder 7 is fixedly connected to the pushing telescopic rod 33. The pushing telescopic rod 33 is an electric telescopic rod, and the first laser welder 7 is linearly moved in the fixed slide rail 31 through the pushing telescopic rod 33. The second laser welder 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the other connecting mounting frame 28, and the first laser welder 7 and the second laser welder 8 are moved up and down alternately through the two vertical cylinders 27.

[0027] Specifically, when the first laser welder 7 first contacts the square tube, the second laser welder 8 is away from the circular tube, and the first laser welder 7 is moved through the pushing telescopic rod 33 to complete the welding of the first linear contact position between the square tube and the square tube orifice; Since the trajectory of the square tube during rotation is an arc, when the square tube and the circular tube are rotated clockwise by 90°, the first laser welder 7 needs to be driven away from the square tube first, and the second laser welder 8 contacts the circular tube to align the second linear contact position between the square tube and the square tube orifice with the first laser welder 7, and at the same time, the second laser welder 8 completes a quarter of the arc contact position between the circular tube and the circular tube orifice; Then, bring the first laser welder 7 into contact with the square tube, while keeping the second laser welder 8 away from the circular tube, and repeat the above operations to successively complete the welding of the third and fourth linear contact positions of the square tube and the square tube orifice, and complete the welding of the remaining three-quarters of the circular tube and the circular arc contact position of the circular tube orifice. All the above welding operation processes are controlled by the welding PLC system.

[0028] When welding the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2, the movable square plate 30 and the movable circular plate 35 can be rotated to the horizontal state to move away from the outer sides of the square tube and the circular tube. The square mounting plate 40 and the circular mounting plate 41 are respectively moved into the cylindrical parts of the square limiting plate 13 and the circular limiting plate 14 to move away from the inner sides of the square tube and the circular tube, so as to avoid interfering with the rotational movement during the welding of the square tube and the circular tube. At the same time, the square tube and the circular tube are limited and supported by the limiting spheres 37. And when the welding of the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2 is completed, the movable square plate 30 and the movable circular plate 35 are rotated to the horizontal state to facilitate the final extraction of the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2. A control method for a multifunctional automatic welding workstation includes the following steps: Step S1: First, pass the throttle tube 2, the square tube orifice and the circular tube orifice through the placement hole 21, and successively start the three clamping telescopic rods 22 to clamp the throttle tube 2. Then, put one end of the square tube sleeved between the two fixed cylinders 36, and one end of the circular tube sleeved between the two fixed cylinders 36 to perform multiple cleaning on the inner and outer sides of the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2. Then, while removing the residual water body by scraping, heat and evaporate the residual water body to facilitate the timely removal of the residual water body, and start the two pushing cylinders 11 to make the other ends of the square tube and the circular tube respectively sleeved in the square tube orifice and the circular tube orifice to complete the connection of the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2. Step S2: Then start the driving motor 19 to drive the three clamping telescopic rods 22 to drive the square tube and the circular tube to rotate, and start the two vertical cylinders 27 to make the two connecting mounting frames 28 move up and down alternately, so that the first laser welder 7 and the second laser welder 8 are successively brought into contact with the square tube and the circular tube. When the first laser welder 7 is in contact with the square tube, the second laser welder 8 is away from the circular tube, and the first laser welder 7 is used to weld the contact part between the square tube and the square tube orifice through the pushing telescopic rod 33. When the second laser welder 8 is in contact with the circular tube, the first laser welder 7 is away from the square tube, and the square tube and the circular tube are driven to rotate to make the second laser welder 8 weld a section of the contact between the circular tube and the circular tube orifice until the welding of the square tube, circular tube and throttle tube 2 is completed. Embodiment 2

[0029] When connecting two circular tubes and a throttle tube 2, round tube openings are provided at both ends of the throttle tube 2. The frame 1 is provided with two circular limiting plates 14 and two second equipment plates 25, and the first laser welder 7 and the second laser welder 8 are respectively used to weld the contact parts between the two circular tubes and the round tube openings. Embodiment 3

[0030] When connecting two square tubes and a throttle tube 2, square tube openings are provided at both ends of the throttle tube 2.

At the same time, a fixed slide rail 31 and a pushing telescopic rod 33 are arranged at the upper end of the first laser welder 7, and the first laser welder 7 is used to weld the contact parts between the two square tubes and the square tube openings.

[0031] The functional principle of the present invention can be elaborated through the following operation methods: First, pass the throttle tube 2, the square tube opening and the round tube opening through the placement hole 21, so that the throttle tube 2 is located at the placement hole 21 of the rotating gear 20, and then start the three clamping telescopic rods 22 in sequence to clamp the throttle tube 2. The square tube opening and the round tube opening are located outside the equipment installation chamber 15. Then, sleeved one end of the square tube between two groups of fixed cylinders 36, and sleeved one end of the circular tube between two groups of fixed cylinders 36. After that, drive the moving square plate 30 and the moving circular plate 35 to move through the first installation cylinder 39, and switch to start the scraping and cleaning function and the flushing function of the moving square plate 30 and the moving circular plate 35, and perform multiple cleaning on the outer sides of the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube 2. And let the square installation plate 40 and the circular installation plate 41 move through the second installation cylinder 45, and start the scraping and cleaning function and the flushing function, so as to perform multiple cleaning on the inner sides of the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube 2. After that, while scraping to remove the residual water body, while heating to evaporate the residual water body, so as to timely remove the residual water body. And drive the sewage collecting frame 23 to move below the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube 2 through the second connecting telescopic rod 6 to collect the sundries and dripping water bodies removed by scraping.

After that, start the drive motor 19 to drive the drive gear 18 to rotate.

When the first laser welder 7 contacts the square tube, the second laser welder 8 is away from the circular tube, and the first laser welder 7 is pushed by the telescopic rod 33 to weld the contact part between the square tube and the square tube orifice. When the second laser welder 8 contacts the circular tube, the first laser welder 7 is away from the square tube, and the square tube and the circular tube are driven to rotate so that the second laser welder 8 welds the contact section between the circular tube and the circular tube orifice until the welding of the square tube, the circular tube and the throttle tube 2 is completed.
