Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tank body welding, and specifically to an automatic welding device for vertical storage tanks. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of China's economy, the chemical industry is booming. The production and sales volume of chemical products are increasing year by year. Correspondingly, a number of new storage and transportation facilities are also needed year by year. Among them, corrosive media such as acids and alkalis need to be stored and transported in stainless steel storage tanks with strong corrosion resistance. Storage tanks usually need to withstand a certain pressure. There are mainly two ways to prepare the tank body. One is the one-piece extrusion molding method, and the other is the method of curling and welding plates.

[0003] For the splicing of tank pieces, multiple people need to cooperate to adjust the position, and the roundness is guaranteed by experience. The assembly speed is slow. Manual operations are required for handling, positioning, and welding, which is prone to fatigue and leads to quality fluctuations. Manual assembly is prone to misalignment of tank pieces, resulting in uneven welding penetration, incomplete penetration, or burn-through. It is necessary to first roll into a circle → assemble → tack weld → weld, and each link is carried out independently. Manual welding or ordinary automatic welding needs to start and stop multiple times. The rolling die and assembly tooling need to be customized, and it takes half a day to several days to switch specifications. The traditional process is suitable for large quantities, and the cost per single tank in small and medium-sized orders surges. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The present invention provides an automatic welding device for a vertical storage tank, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The present invention features modular collaborative design to achieve efficient continuous operation: Through the modular layout of the main fixed frame and the side suspended frame, a pipeline operation for can piece input, positioning, splicing, and welding is realized. The coordinated actions of the material taking synchronization mechanism and the displacement linkage mechanism enable seamless connection of processes such as can piece transfer, rotational positioning, and welding.

[0025] 2.

The operator only needs to monitor the equipment operation. The buffer characteristics of the elastic flexure rod can cope with the fluctuations in the stacking height of can pieces and avoid mechanical jamming; the redundant stroke of the linkage socket allows self-correction of small positioning deviations.

[0027] 4. The present invention features equipment compactness and scalability: The cantilever design of the side suspended frame and the main frame body saves floor space and is suitable for narrow workshop environments; the vertical stacking feeding of the arc-shaped storage slide reduces the lateral floor area. By changing the size of the suspended die cylinder and adjusting the stroke of the drive screw, it can be adapted to the manufacturing of storage tanks with different diameters, with strong scalability. Through mechanical linkage design, complex processes are simplified into automated processes, reaching the leading level in the industry in terms of positioning accuracy, welding quality, energy efficiency ratio, etc. It is especially suitable for the efficient production of small and medium batches and multi-specification storage tanks, providing a standardized manufacturing solution for fields such as pressure vessels and chemical storage and transportation.

First, this device is mainly used for welding the cylindrical tank body of medium and small vertical storage tanks. It mainly inputs the sheet raw materials that make up the tank body in sequence, then splices them into the tank body, and at the same time, laser welding treatment is carried out on the spliced parts. The overall device structure is fixedly installed through the main fixed frame 1, and the side suspension frame 2 added to the side of the main fixed frame 1 installs a displacement linkage mechanism 5 that can drive displacement and rotation through its own parallel shaft frame structure. The suspended die cylinder 3, which is mainly responsible for carrying the sheet raw materials and serving as a die for splicing the tank body, is erected on the top of the main fixed frame 1, and the sheet raw materials are stacked in the sheet input mechanism 4. The sheet input mechanism 4 is erected and fixed at the displacement of the input port of the suspended die cylinder 3. At the same time, by starting the displacement linkage mechanism 5, the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 is driven to displace, and the sheet raw materials pre-loaded in the sheet input mechanism 4 are sequentially transferred into the suspended die cylinder 3. Then, the clamping and pressing mechanism 8 installed inside the suspended die cylinder 3 is used to fix the first and last sheet raw materials sent in. Subsequently, the cross welding mechanism 7 is driven by the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 to laser weld and fix the splicing joints of adjacent sheets.

[0044] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 7The tank sheet input mechanism 4 is located on the side hanging frame 2 and is used to input the tank sheet raw materials required for tank welding. The tank sheet input mechanism 4 includes a bottom slide 41 and an arc-shaped object slide 42. The bottom slide 41 is fixedly installed on the side of the main fixed frame 1 away from the side hanging frame 2. The arc-shaped object slide 42 is slidably embedded in the bottom slide 41.

The bottom slide 41 included in the tank sheet input mechanism 4 is fixed on one side of the main fixed frame 1 and is located at the input port of the suspension mold cylinder 3. The tank body spliced tank The stacked can sheet materials are stacked on an arc-shaped storage slide 42 which slides in the bottom slide 41. A large amount of stacked materials drives the arc-shaped storage slide 42 to descend along the bottom slide 41 and compresses the elastic bending rod 43 installed at the bottom of the bottom slide 41. After the uppermost can sheet is separated from the can sheets stacked on the arc-shaped storage slide 42, the compression elastic force of the elastic bending rod 43 drives the arc-shaped storage slide 42 to rise along the bottom slide 41 and push new can sheet materials to the top, and so on, so that all the stacked can sheet materials can be driven to the contact height of the traction slide 66 when the upper raw materials are extracted.

[0045] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 9, the displacement linkage mechanism 5 is located on the side suspension frame 2 and, in cooperation with the parallel shaft frame structure, the driving gear member and the bottom-mounted carriage 41 of the side suspension frame 2, is used to drive the displacement of the can sheet extraction and welding structure. The displacement linkage mechanism 5 includes a central sleeve shaft 51 and an external sleeve shaft 52. The central sleeve shaft 51 is fixedly embedded on the side of the parallel shaft frame structure of the side suspension frame 2 away from the suspension die barrel 3, and the external sleeve shaft 52 is sleeved on the central sleeve shaft 51 and rotatably embedded on the side of the parallel shaft frame structure of the side suspension frame 2 close to the suspension die barrel 3. The driving screw 53 is rotatably embedded inside the central sleeve shaft 51. The traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51 is fixedly provided at one end of the central sleeve shaft 51 close to the suspension die barrel 3. The arranged shaft rods 54 are fixedly distributed on the side of the external sleeve shaft 52 close to the suspension die barrel 3 in a rectangular distribution. The driving screw 53, the traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51, and the arranged shaft rods 54 pass through the inside of the suspension die barrel 3 and extend to the outside of the bottom-mounted carriage 41. The contact disk 55 is fixedly connected to the end of the arranged shaft rod 54 away from the external sleeve shaft 52. An arc cone structure is provided on the side of the contact disk 55 facing the arranged shaft rod 54. A toothed ring structure meshing with the driving gear structure of the side suspension frame 2 is provided on the outer wall of the external sleeve shaft 52. A driving motor element is provided on the central sleeve shaft 51 and is connected to one end of the driving screw 53 through flat key transmission at the output shaft end of the driving motor element. The central sleeve shaft 51 and the externally sleeved external sleeve shaft 52 included in the displacement linkage mechanism 5 are installed on the parallel shaft frame structure of the side suspension frame 2. The external sleeve shaft 52 rotates relative to the central sleeve shaft 51 at the same time. The driving screw 53 rotatably embedded inside the central sleeve shaft 51 and the traction rod structure installed on the side wall of the central sleeve shaft 51 pass through the suspension die barrel 3 and extend to the bottom-mounted carriage 41. The rotation of the driving screw 53 and the guidance of the traction rod of the central sleeve shaft 51 can drive the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 installed on the displacement linkage mechanism 5 to displace horizontally. The arranged shaft rods 54 installed on the external sleeve shaft 52 in a rectangular distribution also pass through the suspension die barrel 3 and extend to the bottom-mounted carriage 41. The driving gear member of the side suspension frame 2 drives the toothed ring structure of the external sleeve shaft 52 to rotate, and at the same time drives the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 sleeved on the arranged shaft rod 54 to rotate in the suspension die barrel 3 while carrying the can sheet raw material. When the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 displaces to the end, the contact disk 55 installed at the end of the arranged shaft rod 54 will contact the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 and drive the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 to expand and adsorb and extract the can sheet raw material.

[0046] Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 - appendix Figure 11, the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 is located on the displacement linkage mechanism 5, and cooperates with the traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51, the driving screw 53, the arranged shaft rod 54 and the contact disc 55 to extract and convey the can piece raw materials required by the storage tank. The material taking synchronization mechanism 6 includes a linkage sleeve seat one 61, a linkage sleeve seat two 62 and a nut pair wheel 63. The linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 are juxtaposed and embedded between the arranged shaft rods 54 and slide along the arranged shaft rods 54. The linkage sleeve seat one 61 is closer to the can piece input mechanism 4 than the linkage sleeve seat two 62. The nut pair wheel 63 is rotationally embedded inside the linkage sleeve seat one 61, and the inner threaded end is spirally sleeved on the outer threaded surface of the driving screw 53, and the nut pair wheel 63 is sleeved and slides on the traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51. A snap ring structure is fixedly connected between the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62. One side of the top of the linkage sleeve seat one 61 close to the contact disc 55 is rotatably connected with a contact curved rod 64. The contact curved rod 64 is composed of a short-distance rod and a long-distance rod structure. The short-distance rod of the contact curved rod 64 is close to the contact disc 55, and the long-distance rod structure is provided with a chute. A traction drag rod 65 is fixedly installed on the top of the linkage sleeve seat two 62. One end of the traction drag rod 65 away from the linkage sleeve seat two 62 is embedded and slides in the chute of the long-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64. A straight track structure is arranged at the bottom of the linkage sleeve seat one 61, and a traction slide rod 66 is slidably installed through the straight track structure. The bottom end of the traction slide rod 66 is provided with a suction cup structure distributed in an arc. A linkage push rod 67 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the linkage sleeve seat two 62. One end of the linkage push rod 67 away from the linkage sleeve seat two 62 is rotatably connected to the traction slide rod 66. The linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 included in the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 are displaceably installed on the arranged shaft rods 54 in a juxtaposed form. The nut pair wheel 63 rotationally embedded in the linkage sleeve seat one 61 will be thread-fitted along the outer surface of the driving screw 53. The snap ring structure installed between the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 will drive the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to approach the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and will retreat by using the elastic force at the same time. The traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51 passes through the nut pair wheel 63, so that the nut pair wheel 63 itself cannot rotate on the driving screw 53. When the driving screw 53 rotates, it will drive the nut pair wheel 63 to drive the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to displace along the arranged shaft rods 54 and reach above the arc-shaped object placing slide table 42 along the output port of the suspension die barrel 3. The contact curved rod 64 installed on the top of the linkage sleeve seat one 61 will touch the arc-shaped cone structure of the contact disc 55. When the short-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 contacts the arc-shaped cone structure, it will displace along the arc-shaped inclined plane by itself and drive the long-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 to rotate along the linkage sleeve seat one 61. The long-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 drives the traction slide rod 66 installed on the top of the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to displace through its own chute, driving the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to approach the linkage sleeve seat one 61 along the arranged shaft rods 54. The linkage push rod 67 installed at the bottom of the linkage sleeve seat two 62 will due to the approach of the linkage sleeve seat two 62,Push the traction slide bar 66 that slides along the in-line rail structure at the bottom of the first linkage socket 61 downward, and drive the suction cup structure distributed in an arc at the bottom of the traction slide bar 66 to contact and adsorb the uppermost can piece structure. Then, drive the first linkage socket 61 to retract by driving the screw rod 53. After the short-distance rod structure of the contact lever 64 disengages from the contact disk 55, the second linkage socket 62 retracts and moves away from the first linkage socket 61 under the action of the snap spring structure. At the same time, the traction slide bar 66 also drives the adsorbed can piece raw material to rise under the traction of the linkage push rod 67, and is guided by the first linkage socket 61 into the suspension die cylinder 3 until the second linkage socket 62 displaces and touches the side wall of the embedded disk 81 included in the clamping and touching mechanism 8. At this time, the second linkage socket 62 begins to approach the first linkage socket 61, and drives the traction slide bar 66 to push the can piece towards the side wall of the suspension die cylinder 3 until the can piece adheres to the inside of the suspension die cylinder 3. When extracting the upper raw materials, all stacked can piece raw materials can be pushed to the contact height of the traction slide bar 66, and are sequentially adsorbed by the traction slide bar 66 and sent into the suspension die cylinder 3. At the same time, drive the external sleeve shaft 52 and the arranged shaft rod 54 to drive the first linkage socket 61 and the second linkage socket 62 to rotate inside the suspension die cylinder 3, so that the can piece raw materials are spliced along the inner wall of the suspension die cylinder 3 into the cylindrical shape required for the storage tank. Then, use the driving screw rod 53 to drive the first linkage socket 61 and the second linkage socket 62 to displace, and at the same time drive the cross-welding mechanism 7 installed on the second linkage socket 62 to displace.,

[0047] Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 - appendix Figure 12 , the cross-welding mechanism 7 is located on the material-taking synchronization mechanism 6 and is used to synchronously weld the spliced can piece raw materials in cooperation with the second linkage socket 62. The cross-welding mechanism 7 includes an arc-shaped sleeve 71. The inner side of the arc-shaped sleeve 71 is provided with a rectangularly distributed slot structure and is slidably engaged on the arranged shaft rod 54 through the slot structure. The arc-shaped sleeve 71 is sleeved and fixed on the second linkage socket 62. The bottom of the arc-shaped sleeve 71 is provided with opposite extension arms 72. The outer ends of the extension arms 72 are provided with laser welding head elements. Drive the cross-welding mechanism 7 installed on the second linkage socket 62 to displace. The arc-shaped sleeve 71 included in the cross-welding mechanism 7 wraps around the periphery of the arranged shaft rod 54 with its own fitting groove structure, so that while the arc-shaped sleeve 71 can be driven to rotate by the arranged shaft rod 54, it can also be displaced by the traction of the second linkage socket 62, driving the extension arms 72 and the laser welding head structure provided at the ends of the extension arms 72 at the bottom of the arc-shaped sleeve 71 to displace along the splicing joint of adjacent can pieces and weld the splicing joint at the same time, so that adjacent can pieces are fixed to each other. Then, drive the arc-shaped sleeve 71 and the extension arms 72 to rotate through the arranged shaft rod 54, so as to cover all the intersections of adjacent can pieces, drive the spliced cylindrical can pieces to be welded and fixed to each other, and finally form a shape.

[0048] Please refer to the appendix Figure 1 - appendix Figure 13, the clamping and pressing mechanism 8 is located on the suspension die barrel 3 and is used in cooperation with the arranged shaft rod 54 to synchronously clamp the spliced can piece raw materials. The clamping and pressing mechanism 8 includes an embedded disc 81. A rectangularly distributed fitting groove is provided at the center of the embedded disc 81, and it is sleeved on the arranged shaft rod 54 through the fitting groove. The embedded disc 81 is embedded inside the suspension die barrel 3 and is away from the input port of the suspension die barrel 3. Pressing members 82 are provided on the side wall of the embedded disc 81 and are opposite to each other up and down. The pressing member 82 includes a hydraulic driving member that outputs outward and an arc plate structure with a fixed telescopic end. The second linkage socket 62 starts to move closer to the first linkage socket 61, and drives the traction slide rod 66 to push the can piece towards the side wall of the suspension die barrel 3 until the can piece is attached and contacts the inside of the suspension die barrel 3. At this time, the pressing member 82 installed on the embedded disc 81 will compact and stabilize the first can piece in the suspension die barrel 3 through the hydraulic driving member and the pressing plate structure.

[0049] Working principle: Firstly, this device is mainly used for welding the cylindrical tank body of medium and small vertical storage tanks. It mainly works by sequentially inputting the sheet raw materials that make up the tank body, then splicing them into a tank body, and at the same time, laser welding treatment is carried out on the spliced parts. The overall device structure is fixedly installed through the main fixed frame 1. The side suspension frame 2 installed on the side of the main fixed frame 1 is equipped with a displacement linkage mechanism 5 that can be driven to displace and rotate through its parallel shaft frame structure. The suspension mold cylinder 3, which is mainly responsible for carrying the sheet raw materials and serving as a splicing mold for the tank body, is erected on the top of the main fixed frame 1. The sheet raw materials are stacked on the sheet input mechanism 4, and the sheet input mechanism 4 is erected and fixed at the input port displacement of the suspension mold cylinder 3. At the same time, by activating the displacement linkage mechanism 5, the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 is driven to displace, and the sheet raw materials pre-loaded in the sheet input mechanism 4 are sequentially transferred into the suspension mold cylinder 3. Then, the clamping and pressing mechanism 8 installed inside the suspension mold cylinder 3 is used to fix the first and last sheet raw materials sent in. Subsequently, the cross welding mechanism 7 is driven by the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 to laser weld and fix the splicing parts of adjacent sheets. Firstly, the bottom sliding frame 41 included in the sheet input mechanism 4 is fixed on one side of the main fixed frame 1 and is located at the input port of the suspension mold cylinder 3. The sheet raw materials for splicing the tank body are stacked on the arc-shaped storage sliding table 42 that slides inside the bottom sliding frame 41. The large amount of stacked raw materials drives the arc-shaped storage sliding table 42 to descend along the bottom sliding frame 41 and compress the elastic zigzag rod 43 installed at the bottom of the bottom sliding frame 41. The central sleeve shaft 51 and the externally sleeved outer sleeve shaft 52 included in the displacement linkage mechanism 5 are installed on the parallel shaft frame structure of the side suspension frame 2. The outer sleeve shaft 52 rotates relative to the central sleeve shaft 51 at the same time. The driving screw rod 53 rotatably embedded inside the central sleeve shaft 51 and the traction rod structure installed on the side wall of the central sleeve shaft 51 pass through the suspension mold cylinder 3 and extend to the bottom sliding frame 41. The rotation of the driving screw rod 53 and the guidance of the traction rod of the central sleeve shaft 51 can drive the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 installed on the displacement linkage mechanism 5 to displace horizontally. The columnar shaft rods 54 installed in a rectangular distribution form on the outer sleeve shaft 52 also pass through the suspension mold cylinder 3 and extend to the bottom sliding frame 41. The driving gear part of the side suspension frame 2 drives the toothed ring structure of the outer sleeve shaft 52 to rotate, and at the same time drives the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 sleeved on the columnar shaft rod 54 to rotate inside the suspension mold cylinder 3 while carrying the sheet raw materials. The contact disc 55 installed at the end of the columnar shaft rod 54 will contact the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 when the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 displaces to the end, and drive the material taking synchronization mechanism 6 to expand and adsorb and extract the sheet raw materials. The material taking synchronization mechanism 6 includes a linkage socket one 61 and a linkage socket two 62 that are displaced and installed on the columnar shaft rod 54 in a parallel form. The nut sub-wheel 63 rotatably embedded inside the linkage socket one 61 will thread-fit along the outer surface of the driving screw rod 53. The snap spring structure installed between the linkage socket one 61 and the linkage socket two 62 will drive the linkage socket two 62 to approach the linkage socket one 61 and at the same time retreat using elastic force.The traction rod structure of the central sleeve shaft 51 passes through the nut pair wheel 63, making it impossible for the nut pair wheel 63 to rotate on the driving screw rod 53 itself. When the driving screw rod 53 rotates, it will drive the nut pair wheel 63 to drive the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to displace along the columnar shaft rod 54 and reach above the arc-shaped object placing slide 42 along the output port of the suspension die barrel 3. The contact curved rod 64 installed on the top of the linkage sleeve seat one 61 will touch the arc-shaped cone structure of the contact disc 55. When the short-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 contacts the arc-shaped cone structure, it will displace along the arc-shaped inclined plane itself and drive the long-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 to rotate along the linkage sleeve seat one 61. The long-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 drives the traction slide rod 66 installed on the top of the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to displace through its own chute, driving the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to approach the linkage sleeve seat one 61 along the columnar shaft rod 54. The linkage push rod 67 installed at the bottom of the linkage sleeve seat two 62 will, due to the approach of the linkage sleeve seat two 62, push the traction slide rod 66 sliding along the straight rail structure at the bottom of the linkage sleeve seat one 61 to displace downward, and drive the suction cup structure distributed in an arc at the bottom of the traction slide rod 66 to contact and adsorb the uppermost can piece structure. Then, by driving the screw rod 53 to drive the linkage sleeve seat one 61 to retract, after the short-distance rod structure of the contact curved rod 64 disengages from the contact disc 55, the linkage sleeve seat two 62 retracts and moves away from the linkage sleeve seat one 61 under the action of the snap spring structure, and the traction slide rod 66 also simultaneously drives the adsorbed can piece raw material to rise under the traction of the linkage push rod 67 and is guided into the suspension die barrel 3 by the linkage sleeve seat one 61 until the linkage sleeve seat two 62 displaces and touches the side wall of the embedded disc 81 included in the clamping and contact mechanism 8. At this time, the linkage sleeve seat two 62 begins to approach the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and drives the traction slide rod 66 to push the can piece towards the side wall of the suspension die barrel 3 until the can piece adheres to the inside of the suspension die barrel 3. At this time, the pressing member 82 installed on the embedded disc 81 will press and stabilize the first can piece in the suspension die barrel 3 through the hydraulic driving member and the pressing plate structure. After the uppermost can piece separates from the can pieces stacked on the arc-shaped object placing slide 42, the compression elastic force of the elastic curved rod 43 drives the arc-shaped object placing slide 42 to rise along the bottom slide frame 41 and pushes the new can piece raw material to the upper part. By analogy, when extracting the upper raw materials, all stacked can piece raw materials can be pushed to the contact height of the traction slide rod 66 and then adsorbed and sent into the suspension die barrel 3 in sequence by the traction slide rod 66. At the same time, the external sleeve shaft 52 and the columnar shaft rod 54 are driven to drive the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to rotate inside the suspension die barrel 3, so that the can piece raw materials are spliced into the cylindrical shape required for the storage tank along the inner wall of the suspension die barrel 3. By using the driving screw rod 53 to drive the linkage sleeve seat one 61 and the linkage sleeve seat two 62 to displace, the cross-welding mechanism 7 installed on the linkage sleeve seat two 62 is also driven to displace. The arc-shaped sleeve 71 included in the cross-welding mechanism 7 wraps around the periphery of the columnar shaft rod 54 by using its own fitting groove structure, so that while the arc-shaped sleeve 71 can be driven to rotate by the columnar shaft rod 54,It is also possible to drive the displacement of the bottom of the arc-shaped sleeve 71 relative to the added extension arm 72 and the laser welding head structure provided at the end of the extension arm 72 along the splicing joint of adjacent tank pieces through the traction displacement of the linkage socket two 62, and weld the splicing joint at the same time, so that adjacent tank pieces are fixed to each other. Then, drive the arc-shaped sleeve 71 and the extension arm 72 to rotate through the columnar shaft rod 54, so as to cover all the intersections of adjacent tank pieces, drive the spliced cylindrical tank pieces to be welded and fixed to each other, and finally form a shape.
