Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of AP component welding, and specifically to a welding device for large-scale coils of nuclear fusion AP components. Background Art

[0002] The large-scale coil AP components in a nuclear fusion device are the core components of magnetic confinement devices such as tokamaks, mainly involving key parts such as toroidal field coils, vacuum chamber structures, and blanket systems.

[0003] Some AP components are formed by welding two plates. Each single plate is divided into a straight section and an arc section. The straight sections of the two plates are welded to form an AP component. The total length of the AP component is 15535.3 mm, the width is 2668.4 mm, and the height is 1165.3 mm; the thinnest plate thickness is 50.2 mm, the thickest is 98.3 mm, the total weight is 13071 kg, the single weight is about 6535.5 kg, and adding the tooling for fixing the AP component, the single-piece tooling weight is about 22000 kg, and the total weight of a single workpiece is about 30 tons.

[0004] Currently, when welding AP components, the following problems exist: 1. Since the single-piece tooling is relatively heavy, when using a gantry crane to lift and move the single-piece tooling for assembly, the inertia of the single-piece tooling is very large. When the gantry crane stops moving, the single-piece tooling often collides with another tooling due to inertia, resulting in deformation of the single plate of the AP component, making it difficult to align the straight sections of the two single plates, and thus affecting the welding efficiency; 2. When aligning the straight sections of the two single plates, the distance between the two single plates is very short, but the single-piece tooling is relatively heavy. During the process of using a gantry crane to adjust the position of the single plate, multiple adjustments are required to make the straight sections of the two single plates fit together, resulting in low splicing efficiency of the AP component; 3. Since the single plate is composed of a straight section and an arc section, when fixing the single plate into the tooling, it is usually in a side-lying position. After lying on its side, the tooling needs to be flipped to facilitate welding of the single plate. However, the flipping of the tooling is usually achieved by the cooperation of a gantry crane and a crane to flip the tooling, and it is not easy for a single gantry crane to flip the tooling, resulting in inconvenient flipping of the tooling.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 - 15 , a welding device for assembling large-scale coils of a nuclear fusion AP component, comprising a base 1 and two component toolings 8. A gantry 3 is fixed to the top of the base 1 by bolts. A flipping module 2 is provided at one end of the top of the base 1 for flipping the assembled component tooling 8. A position adjustment module 4 for adjusting the left and right positions of the component tooling 8 is provided at the rear of the flipping module 2. An anti-collision module 5 for eliminating inertia when the component tooling 8 stops is provided at the rear of the position adjustment module 4. A support module 7 for assisting in fixing one of the component toolings 8 is provided at the bottom of the component tooling 8, and the support module 7 can be fixed to the anti-collision module 5. A welding module 6 fixed to the top of the base 1 is provided on one side of the joint of the two single plates for welding the assembled single plates. During use, the component tooling 8 is assembled on the flipping module 2, the component tooling 8 is fixed by using the gantry 3 and a steel wire rope, the component tooling 8 is flipped by using the flipping module 2. After flipping, the component tooling 8 is lifted by using the gantry 3, the support module 7 is fixed to the bottom of the component tooling 8. After fixing, the component tooling 8 is driven by the gantry 3 to move to the rear of the anti-collision module 5. After placement, the fixing of the component tooling 8 by the steel wire rope is released, the gantry 3 is reset, and at the same time the flipping module 2 is reset. Then, the component tooling 8 is continuously assembled on the flipping module 2, and the above steps are repeated again until the component tooling 8 is lifted by the gantry 3, the component tooling 8 is driven by the gantry 3 to move to the other side of the anti-collision module 5, and the inertia is eliminated by the anti-collision module 5 so that the two component toolings 8 do not come into contact. During the movement, the component toolings 8 are assisted in alignment by the position adjustment module 4. After alignment, the height is adjusted by the position adjustment module 4, thus completing the assembly of the two single plates. Then, the two single plates are welded by the welding module 6 to complete the welding of the AP component, which can not only avoid collision when the two component toolings 8 are butted, but also splice the single plates on the two component toolings 8, and can also reduce the dependence on external objects when the component tooling 8 is flipped, making the flipping of the component tooling 8 more convenient.

[0030] In order to flip the component tooling 8, in the present invention, the flipping module 2 includes a first mounting box 201 fixed to the bottom of the base 1. A plurality of first hydraulic cylinders 203 are rotatably connected to one inner wall of the first mounting box 201 through bearings. An L-shaped frame 204 that rotates with the first hydraulic cylinders 203 is rotatably connected between the two inner walls of the base 1 through bearings. After flipping, the bottom inner wall of the L-shaped frame 204 is flush with the top of the base 1. A resistance increasing component for reversely jacking up the flipping of the L-shaped frame 204 is provided on the top of the base 1. When the plurality of first hydraulic cylinders 203 are started simultaneously, the L-shaped frame 204 is pushed to rotate, thereby driving the component tooling 8 placed on the L-shaped frame 204 to flip. By using the resistance increasing component to push against the flipping of the L-shaped frame 204, the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204 becomes more stable, and the convenience of flipping the component tooling 8 is improved.

[0031] In order to make the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204 more stable, in the present invention, the resistance increasing component includes an avoidance groove 209 opened on the top of the base 1. A vertical plate 208 is welded to one side of the avoidance groove 209. A plurality of force arms 205 are rotatably connected to one side of the L-shaped frame 204 through bearings. One ends of the plurality of force arms 205 are rotatably connected to a connecting plate 206 that slides in the avoidance groove 209 through bearings. A plurality of springs 207 are fixed between the connecting plate 206 and the vertical plate 208 by bolts. A limiting plate 202 that contacts the L-shaped frame 204 is welded between the two inner walls of the first mounting box 201. When the L-shaped frame 204 rotates more than 45°, under the action of gravity, the component tooling 8 will drive the L-shaped frame 204 to continue rotating. At this time, the thrust of the first hydraulic cylinder 203 will accelerate the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204. During the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204, the L-shaped frame 204 will push one end of the force arm 205, causing the other end of the force arm 205 to push the connecting plate 206 to slide in the avoidance groove 209, thereby squeezing the springs 207 to contract and generate elastic force, applying a reverse thrust to the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204. Thus, when the L-shaped frame 204 rotates more than 45°, it cancels out the gravity of the component tooling 8, making the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204 more stable, avoiding the displacement of the component tooling 8 caused by the too fast rotation of the L-shaped frame 204. At the same time, a gantry 3 is used to assist in pulling the component tooling 8 to improve the safety of the device flipping.

[0032] In order to make the heights of two single boards flush, in the present invention, the position adjustment module 4 includes a second mounting box 401 fixed to the bottom of the base 1. A second hydraulic cylinder 403 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the second mounting box 401 by bolts. The top of the second hydraulic cylinder 403 is fixed to a support plate 405 by bolts. Two telescopic rods 411 fixed to the second mounting box 401 are fixed to the bottom of the support plate 405 by bolts. A positioning component for changing the position when the component tooling 8 moves is provided on the top of the base 1. The horizontal position of the component tooling 8 transported by moving is adjusted through the positioning component. When the component tooling 8 moves to the same side as another component tooling 8, the second hydraulic cylinder 403 is started. The second hydraulic cylinder 403 drives the support plate 405 to move upward, thereby lifting the current component tooling 8 upward, and further making the two single boards located on the same horizontal plane, capable of eliminating the error existing between the two component toolings 8, and enabling the two single boards to contact better.

[0033] In order to position the component tooling 8 in the left and right positions during the moving process, in the present invention, the positioning component includes a vehicle body 402 placed on the top of the base 1. A plurality of Mecanum wheels 409 are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 402. The Mecanum wheels 409 are Mecanum wheels. A guide frame 406 is fixed to the bottom of the vehicle body 402 by bolts. One end of the guide frame 406 is an oblique angle 407. Two limit rods 404 are fixed to the top of the base 1 and are respectively located on both sides of the support plate 405, and the two limit rods 404 can respectively contact the two guide frames 406. Two connecting blocks 408 are welded to one side of the vehicle body 402. A plurality of positioning frames 410 for positioning the component tooling 8 are fixed to the top of the vehicle body 402 by bolts. When the component tooling 8 is lifted by the gantry 3, the vehicle body 402 is placed on the component tooling 8. The gantry 3 lowers the height of the component tooling 8. Under the action of the positioning frame 410, the position of the component tooling 8 on the vehicle body 402 is fixed. The component tooling 8 is fixed to the vehicle body 402 by bolts. After fixing, the height of the component tooling 8 is continuously lowered so that the pressure exerted by the component tooling 8 on the vehicle body 402 is the same as the pulling force of the gantry 3 pulling the component tooling 8. The DATA-52 series diffused silicon piezoresistive sensors can be used to determine the pressure. Furthermore, the vehicle body 402 can move easily. The gantry 3 drives the vehicle body 402 and the component tooling 8 to move together. The position of the vehicle body 402 is assisted and adjusted through the oblique angle 407 until the limit rods 404 are in full contact with the guide frames 406, thereby positioning the left and right positions of the vehicle body 402, aligning the left and right positions of the two single boards, being able to adjust the position of the component tooling 8 during its displacement, making the displacement time coincide with the position adjustment time, and further reducing the total time-consuming of the component tooling 8 for butt welding and improving the welding efficiency of the AP component.

[0034] To avoid collisions between two component toolings 8 during splicing, in the present invention, the anti-collision module 5 includes a fixing plate 501 fixed to the top of the base 1. At the top of the fixing plate 501, there is a monitoring component for real-time monitoring of the splicing of two single plates. One side of the fixing plate 501 is rotatably connected to a plurality of first rotating rods 504 through bearings. One end of the first rotating rod 504 is rotatably connected to a second rotating rod 505. One ends of a plurality of second rotating rods 505 are rotatably connected to a connecting frame 508 through bearings. The first rotating rod 504 and the second rotating rod 505 can assist in supporting the movement of the connecting frame 508. Between the connecting frame 508 and the fixing plate 501, two arc-shaped elastic plates 509 are fixed by bolts. The arc-shaped elastic plates 509 are made of elastic metal materials, preferably carbon steel, such as 65 steel and 75 steel. On the side of the connecting frame 508 in contact with the component tooling 8, a rubber pad 515 is bonded to protect the connecting frame 508. Between the connecting frame 508 and the fixing plate 501, there is a pulling component for pulling the connecting frame 508 to move. When the component tooling 8 and the vehicle body 402 are moved by the gantry 3 to contact the rubber pad 515 on the connecting frame 508, the movement of the gantry 3 is stopped. Due to inertia, the component tooling 8 will impact the connecting frame 508, causing the connecting frame 508 to move, and then squeezing the arc-shaped elastic plate 509 to deform and generate elastic force, canceling the inertial impact force of the component tooling 8, so that the two component toolings 8 cannot come into contact, thereby avoiding their collision and improving the protection effect of the device. A damper can be provided between the connecting frame 508 and the fixing plate 501 to consume the elastic potential energy, so that the reset elastic force of the arc-shaped elastic plate 509 on the component tooling 8 becomes smaller, enabling the component tooling 8 to quickly stabilize.

[0035] Wherein, at both ends of one side of the connecting frame 508, sliding grooves 507 are provided. Sliders 506 are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 507. After the component tooling 8 is stabilized, bolts can be used to fix the sliders 506 and the connecting blocks 408, so that the vehicle body 402 will not shift during the height adjustment process.

[0036] In order to monitor the splicing of two single boards in real time, in the present invention, the monitoring component includes two support rods 502 fixed to the top of the fixing plate 501. A baffle 520 is welded to the top of the support rod 502. The side surface of the baffle 520 and the welding surface of the single board in the component tooling 8 on the support module 7 are located on the same horizontal plane. A distance sensor 523 not exceeding the baffle 520 is fixed to the top of the baffle 520 by bolts. The model of the distance sensor 523 is Baumer optoNCDT5500. Fixed frames 521 are welded to both sides of the baffle 520. A vision sensor 522 is fixed to the top of the fixed frame 521 by bolts. The model of the vision sensor 522 is MV-SC1008M-05S-WBN-SR. By processing the data of the vision sensor 522 and the distance sensor 523 through the monitoring system, the monitoring of the single board during assembly is completed, so that the distance between the two single boards meets the welding standard.

[0037] In order to make the two component toolings 8 on the same side, in the present invention, the pulling component includes a first slot 510 and a second slot 516 respectively opened on the top of the fixing plate 501 and the connecting frame 508. A first plug-in frame 511 that can be fixed by bolts is inserted into the first slot 510. One side of the first plug-in frame 511 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 519 through a bearing. One end of the threaded rod 519 is key-connected to a worm gear 512. A second plug-in frame 517 is inserted into the second slot 516. A threaded pipe 518 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 519 is welded to one side of the second plug-in frame 517. A servo motor 514 is fixed to one side of the fixing plate 501 by bolts. The output shaft of the servo motor 514 is fixed to a worm 513 meshing with the worm gear 512 through a coupling. After the slider 506 and the connecting block 408 are fixed, the first plug-in frame 511 and the second plug-in frame 517 are respectively inserted into the first slot 510 and the second slot 516, and at the same time, the worm gear 512 and the worm 513 are meshed. The first plug-in frame 511 is fixed in the first slot 510 with bolts. The servo motor 514 is started. The servo motor 514 drives the worm 513 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 512 to rotate, and further driving the threaded rod 519 to rotate, so that the threaded pipe 518 and the connecting frame 508 move together, and further driving the vehicle body 402 and the component tooling 8 to move, so that the welding surface of the single board contacts the baffle 520, thereby positioning the two single boards, making the welding surfaces of the two single boards on the same horizontal plane. Through secondary deceleration, the torque of the rotation of the threaded rod 519 can be greatly increased, making the movement of the vehicle body 402 and the component tooling 8 easier.

[0038] In order to position another component tooling 8, in the present invention, the support module 7 includes a support frame 701 fixed to the bottom of one of the component toolings 8. A positioning hole 703 and two threaded holes 702 are provided on one side of the support frame 701, and the two threaded holes 702 and the fixing ears 503 can be fixed by bolts. One side of the fixing plate 501 is welded with an insertion plate 704 that can be inserted into the positioning hole 703. The inclined surfaces are at both ends on one side of the insertion plate 704. Fixing ears 503 are welded to both sides of the fixing plate 501. When the component tooling 8 is lifted by the gantry 3, the support frame 701 is fixed to the bottom of the component tooling 8 by bolts. When the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8 are moved by the gantry 3 to one side of the fixing plate 501 together, the component tooling 8 is lowered, and the component tooling 8 and the support frame 701 are pulled to move in the opposite direction together, so that the insertion plate 704 is inserted into the positioning hole 703 to assist in positioning the positions of the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8. Bolts are used to fix the fixing ears 503 and the threaded holes 702, so as to fix the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8, position another component tooling 8, and further improve the welding efficiency of the butt welding of two single plates.

[0039] In the present invention, the component tooling 8 includes a component body 803 and two tooling bodies 801. The two tooling bodies 801 can be fixed by bolts, and the component body 803 is located between the two tooling bodies 801. One side of the two assembled tooling bodies 801 is fixed with a flattening frame 802 by bolts. During assembly, first, one tooling body 801 is placed on the L-shaped frame 204, then the component body 803 is placed on the tooling body 801, and the other tooling body 801 is symmetrically placed on the lower tooling body 801. Bolts are used to fix the two tooling bodies 801, so as to clamp and fix the component body 803. Then, the flattening frame 802 is fixed to one side of the assembled tooling body 801 by bolts, so that the component tooling 8 can stand steadily. The welding module 6 includes a robotic arm 601 fixed to the top of the base 1 by bolts. The model of the robotic arm 601 is ABB-IRB-6700. One end of the robotic arm 601 is fixed with a welding torch 602 by threads. The position of the welding torch 602 is adjusted by the robotic arm 601, and the welding torch 602 welds the splicing part of the two single plates.

[0040] The monitoring system includes a data acquisition module, a data transmission module, a data processing module, and an execution module. The data acquisition module acquires the distance data between the single plate and the baffle 520 and the distance data between the two single plates, and transmits the acquired data to the data processing module. The data processing module processes the single plate movement data and the distance data between the two single plates, generates an execution signal according to the processing result, and then transmits the execution signal to the execution module.

[0041] The analysis steps of the data processing module are as follows: Step 1: Process the data from the distance sensor 523 and the vision sensor 522 in the data acquisition module to determine whether the single board is in contact with the baffle 520 and whether the height of the single board completely exceeds that of the baffle 520. If it is determined that the single board is not in contact with the baffle 520 and the height of the single board does not completely exceed that of the baffle 520, generate Signal 1 and transmit the signal to the execution module. If it is determined that the single board is not in contact with the baffle 520 and the height of the single board completely exceeds that of the baffle 520, generate Signal 2 and transmit the signal to the execution module.

[0042] Step 2: Process the height data between the two single boards by the distance sensor 523 and the vision sensor 522 in the data acquisition module. If it is determined that the heights of the two single boards are different, no signal is generated. If it is determined that the heights of the two single boards are the same, generate Signal 3 and transmit the signal to the execution module.

[0043] The execution operations performed by the execution module are as follows: Operation 1: When the execution module receives Signal 1, the execution module controls the servo motor 514 to start.

[0044] Operation 2: When the execution module receives Signal 2, the execution module controls the servo motor 514 to turn off and simultaneously starts the second hydraulic cylinder 403.

[0045] Operation 3: When the execution module receives Signal 3, the execution module controls the second hydraulic cylinder 403 to turn off.

[0046] Furthermore, the first hydraulic cylinder 203, the gantry 3, the second hydraulic cylinder 403, the servo motor 514, the robotic arm 601, and the welding torch 602 are all general standard electrical appliances or electrical appliances known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can all be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or obtained through conventional experimental methods, and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] The present invention is used in the following steps: S1: First, place a tooling body 801 on the L-shaped frame 204, then place the component body 803 on the tooling body 801, symmetrically place another tooling body 801 on the lower tooling body 801, and use bolts to fix the two tooling bodies 801 to clamp and fix the component body 803. Then, fix the smoothing frame 802 on one side of the assembled tooling body 801 through bolts to make the component tooling 8 stand steadily. S2: Use the gantry 3 and the steel wire rope to fix the component tooling 8, and simultaneously start multiple first hydraulic cylinders 203 to push the L-shaped frame 204 to rotate, thereby driving the component tooling 8 placed on the L-shaped frame 204 to flip. S3: During the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204, one end of the L-shaped frame 204 will push one end of the lever arm 205, causing the other end of the lever arm 205 to push the connecting plate 206 to slide within the avoidance groove 209, thereby squeezing the spring 207 to contract and generate an elastic force, applying a reverse thrust to the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204. Thus, when the L-shaped frame 204 rotates more than 45°, it cancels out the gravity of the component tooling 8, making the rotation of the L-shaped frame 204 smoother; S4: After flipping, use the gantry 3 to lift the component tooling 8, fix the support frame 701 to the bottom of the component tooling 8 with bolts. The gantry 3 drives the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8 to move together to one side of the fixed plate 501, lower the component tooling 8, and pull the component tooling 8 and the support frame 701 to move in the opposite direction together through the gantry 3, so that the insertion plate 704 is inserted into the positioning hole 703 to assist in positioning the positions of the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8. Use bolts to fix the fixed ear 503 and the threaded hole 702 to fix the support frame 701 and the component tooling 8, and position another component tooling 8; S5: While the gantry 3 drives the component tooling 8 to move, the first hydraulic cylinder 203 resets, so that the L-shaped frame 204 resets, and another component tooling 8 is reassembled on the L-shaped frame 204. After assembly, the gantry 3 resets and lifts a new component tooling 8 again; S6: Place the vehicle body 402 on the component tooling 8, and the gantry 3 lowers the height of the component tooling 8. Under the action of the positioning frame 410, the position of the component tooling 8 on the vehicle body 402 is fixed. Fix the component tooling 8 and the vehicle body 402 with bolts. After fixing, continue to lower the height of the component tooling 8 so that the pressure exerted by the component tooling 8 on the vehicle body 402 is the same as the pulling force of the gantry 3 pulling the component tooling 8. The DATA-52 series diffused silicon piezoresistive sensors can be used to determine the pressure, so that the vehicle body 402 can move easily. The gantry 3 drives the vehicle body 402 and the component tooling 8 to move together, and the bevel angle 407 is used to assist in adjusting the position of the vehicle body 402 until the limit rod 404 is in full contact with the guide frame 406, thereby positioning the left and right positions of the vehicle body 402 and aligning the left and right positions of the two single plates; S7: When the component tooling 8 and the vehicle body 402 are moved by the gantry 3 to contact the rubber pad 515 on the connecting frame 508, stop the movement of the gantry 3. Due to inertia, the component tooling 8 will impact the connecting frame 508, causing the connecting frame 508 to move, and then squeezing the arc-shaped elastic plate 509 to deform and generate an elastic force to offset the inertial impact force of the component tooling 8, so that the two component toolings 8 cannot come into contact, thus avoiding their collision; S8: After the component tooling 8 is stabilized, use bolts to fix the slider 506 and the connecting block 408. Insert the first plug-in frame 511 and the second plug-in frame 517 into the first slot 510 and the second slot 516 respectively. At the same time, engage the worm gear 512 with the worm 513. Use bolts to fix the first plug-in frame 511 in the first slot 510. Start the servo motor 514. The servo motor 514 drives the worm 513 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 512 to rotate, and further driving the threaded rod 519 to rotate, so that the threaded tube 518 and the connecting frame 508 move together, and then driving the vehicle body 402 and the component tooling 8 to move, making the welding surface of the single plate contact the baffle 520, thereby positioning the two single plates and making the welding surfaces of the two single plates located on the same horizontal plane; S9: Start the second hydraulic cylinder 403. The second hydraulic cylinder 403 drives the support plate 405 to move upward, thereby lifting the current component tooling 8 upward, and then making the two single plates located on the same horizontal plane, which can eliminate the error existing between the two component toolings 8 and make the two single plates contact better; S10: Through the data processing of the vision sensor 522 and the distance sensor 523 by the monitoring system, the monitoring during the assembly of the single plates is completed, making the distance between the two single plates meet the welding standard. After meeting the standard, the position of the welding torch 602 is adjusted by the robotic arm 601, and the welding torch 602 welds the joint of the two single plates, thereby completing the welding of the AP component.
