It can only meet the double-sided welding requirements for short distances, and it is difficult to adapt to the diverse needs of steel pipes with different diameters and pitches in various processing scenarios, and its operation flexibility is poor. Especially when preparing spiral steel pipes, due to the diverse specifications of steel pipes and complex welding requirements, this device has obvious deficiencies in terms of adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic double-sided submerged arc welding machine for the preparation of spiral submerged arc welded steel pipes to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic double-sided submerged arc welding machine for the preparation of spiral submerged arc welded steel pipes, including a connection frame and a moving frame. An adjustment assembly is installed outside the moving frame. The adjustment assembly includes a vertically arranged lead screw 1, which is rotatably connected inside the moving frame.

The mounting frame sleeved outside the moving frame can only move up and down. The first lead screw can drive the mounting frame to move upward along the moving frame. When the pitch of the weld of the steel pipe is large, start the second motor to control the rotation of the second lead screw. Similarly, the second lead screw can drive the mounting seat to move horizontally along the mounting frame. Furthermore, the position of the welding torch installed at the bottom of the mounting seat will also change until the welding wires of the two welding torches can be aligned with the welds on the back and surface of the steel pipe.

[0015] The present invention provides an automatic double-sided submerged arc welding machine for the preparation of spiral submerged arc welded pipes, which has the following beneficial effects: (1) By providing an adjustment component, the present invention can adapt to the double-sided welding work of pipes with different diameters and pitches, thereby ensuring that the device can process pipes of different specifications, which is beneficial to improving the adaptability of the device. For example, when the diameter of the pipe is relatively large, starting the first motor to control the rotation of the first lead screw, the mounting frame sleeved outside the moving frame can only move up and down, and the first lead screw can drive the mounting frame to move upward along the moving frame. When the pitch of the weld of the pipe is relatively large, starting the second motor to control the rotation of the second lead screw, similarly, the second lead screw can drive the mounting seat to move horizontally along the mounting frame, and then the position of the welding torch installed at the bottom of the mounting seat will also change until the welding wires of the two welding torches can be directly opposite the welds on the back and surface of the pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0019] The present invention provides a technical solution: As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, an automatic double-sided submerged arc welding machine for preparing spiral submerged arc welded pipes includes a connecting frame 1 and a moving frame 3. An adjusting assembly 4 is installed outside the moving frame 3. The adjusting assembly 4 includes a vertically arranged lead screw 401 which is rotatably connected inside the moving frame 3. A mounting frame 402 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 401. The mounting frame 402 is slidably sleeved outside the moving frame 3. A horizontally arranged lead screw 404 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 402. A mounting seat 406 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 404. The mounting seat 406 is slidably sleeved outside the mounting frame 402. Driving structures are installed outside both the moving frame 3 and the mounting frame 402. The driving structures include a first motor 403 and a second motor 405.

[0020] The first motor 403 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the moving frame 3, and the output end of the first motor 403 is coaxially fixed to one end of the lead screw 401. The second motor 405 is fixedly installed on one side outer wall of the mounting frame 402, and the output end of the second motor 405 is coaxially fixed to one end of the lead screw 404.

[0021] If the diameter of the steel pipe is relatively large, start the first motor 403 to control the rotation of the lead screw 401. The mounting frame 402 slidably sleeved outside the moving frame 3 can only move up and down. The lead screw 401 can drive the mounting frame 402 to move upward along the moving frame 3. And if the pitch of the steel pipe weld is relatively large, start the second motor 405 to control the rotation of the lead screw 404. Similarly, the lead screw 404 can drive the mounting seat 406 to move horizontally along the mounting frame 402. Furthermore, the position of the welding torch 7 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 406 will also change until the welding wires of the two welding torches 7 can be aligned with the welds on the back and surface of the steel pipe.

[0022] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a flipping structure is installed at one end of the bottom of the moving frame 3. And the flipping structure includes a support column 407 rotatably connected inside the moving frame 3. A first bevel gear 408 is coaxially fixed to the outside of the support column 407. A stepping motor 409 is fixedly installed on one end outer wall of the moving frame 3. The output end of the stepping motor 409 is coaxially fixed with a second bevel gear 410. The second bevel gear 410 meshes with the first bevel gear 408.

[0023] This device can also adapt to the welding of other workpieces, only requiring the bottom welding torch 7 to participate in the work. If there is a corner position in the weld, the stepping motor 409 outside the moving frame 3 can be started. The stepping motor 409 drives the second bevel gear 410 to rotate. The second bevel gear 410 drives the first bevel gear 408 to rotate through meshing. The first bevel gear 408 drives the support column 407 to rotate synchronously. The angle of the welding torch 7 installed on the outside of the support column 407 will also change.

[0024] As Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, a welding torch 7 is installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the mounting seat 406 and on the outer wall of one side of the support column 407. A wire feeding structure and a flux delivery pipe are also provided inside the welding torch 7. A smoking assembly 5 is installed at the bottom of each of the two welding torches 7. The wire feeding mechanism continuously feeds the welding wire into the arc region at a preset wire feeding speed. The welding wire melts under the action of the arc heat to form molten droplets, which transition into the molten pool. The welding power supply automatically adjusts the output current and voltage according to the actual situation during the welding process to maintain the stable combustion of the arc. The flux melts under the action of the arc heat and forms a slag, covering the surface of the molten pool. The slag can isolate the air, prevent the oxidation and nitridation of the molten pool metal, and at the same time can also undergo a metallurgical reaction with the molten metal, remove harmful impurities, and transition beneficial alloying elements into the weld metal. The welding wire is continuously fed into the arc region, the arc continuously burns, melting the welding wire and the base metal of the workpiece, forming a continuous weld.

[0025] The smoking assembly 5 includes a shield 501 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the welding torch 7. An air suction ring 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the shield 501. A number of equally spaced air suction holes are provided outside the air suction ring 502. A connecting pipe 503 is fixedly inserted into the shield 501, and one end of the connecting pipe 503 is communicated with the air suction ring 502.

[0026] When the external air suction fan is started, the air inside the air suction ring 502 is drawn away through the connecting pipe 503, and a negative pressure will be generated at the air suction ports outside the air suction ring 502. The fumes generated during the welding process will first be collected by the shield 501 and then drawn in by the air suction ring 502, which can avoid the fumes from affecting the working environment.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a driving assembly 6 is installed between the connecting frame 1 and the moving frame 3. The driving assembly 6 includes a lead screw three 601 rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 1. A moving seat 602 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw three 601. The moving seat 602 is slidably connected inside the connecting frame 1. A motor three 603 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the connecting frame 1. The output end of the motor three 603 is coaxially fixed to one end of the lead screw three 601. The moving frame 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the moving seat 602.

[0028] When it is necessary to repair the welding torch 7 or other components, start the motor three 603 to control the rotation of the lead screw three 601. The moving seat 602 slidably connected inside the connecting frame 1 can only move horizontally. The lead screw three 601 can drive the moving seat 602 to move away from the pipeline in the horizontal direction, and the welding torch 7 extending into the pipeline will be exposed to the outside, facilitating the work.

[0029] As Figure 1As shown in FIG. 2, a connecting plate 2 is provided at each of the four corners of the connecting frame 1, and a through hole is formed inside each of the four connecting plates 2. The connecting member passes through the through hole to connect the connecting frame 1 to the output end of the external hydraulic cylinder lifting structure.

[0030] The present invention provides an automatic double-sided submerged arc welding machine for the preparation of spiral submerged arc welded pipes, and the specific working principle is as follows: When the device works, the connecting frame 1 is fixed on the output end of the external hydraulic lifting structure, and the hydraulic cylinder lifting structure is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the external gantry. By controlling the hydraulic cylinder lifting structure, the overall height of the device can be adjusted. The end of the connecting pipe 503 is docked with the air inlet of the external air purification structure including the suction fan and the filtering component. If the diameter of the steel pipe is large, start the first motor 403 to control the rotation of the first lead screw 401. The mounting frame 402 sleeved on the outside of the moving frame 3 can only move up and down, and the first lead screw 401 can drive the mounting frame 402 to move upward along the moving frame 3. If the pitch of the steel pipe weld is large, start the second motor 405 to control the rotation of the second lead screw 404. Similarly, the second lead screw 404 can drive the mounting seat 406 to move horizontally along the mounting frame 402, and then the position of the welding torch 7 installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 406 will also change until the welding wires of the two welding torches 7 can face the welds on the back and surface of the steel pipe. When it is necessary to repair the welding torch 7 or other components, start the third motor 603 to control the rotation of the third lead screw 601. The moving seat 602 slidably connected inside the connecting frame 1 can only move horizontally, and the third lead screw 601 can drive the moving seat 602 to move away from the pipeline horizontally. The welding torch 7 extending into the pipeline will be exposed to the outside, facilitating the work. Start the external suction fan, and the air inside the suction ring 502 is evacuated through the connecting pipe 503, and a negative pressure will be generated at the suction port outside the suction ring 502. The fumes generated during the welding process will first be collected by the baffle 501 and then absorbed by the suction ring 502, which can avoid the fumes from affecting the working environment. This device can also adapt to the welding of other workpieces, only the welding torch 7 at the bottom needs to participate in the work. If there is a corner position in the weld, the stepping motor 409 outside the moving frame 3 can be started. The stepping motor 409 drives the second bevel gear 410 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 410 drives the first bevel gear 408 to rotate through meshing. The first bevel gear 408 drives the support column 407 to rotate synchronously, and the angle of the welding torch 7 installed outside the support column 407 will also change.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
