[0002] Tube-to-sheet welding is a common welding process in the industrial field, primarily used to connect pipes to flat plates (with holes in the plates). It is widely used in the manufacturing of boilers, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, chemical equipment, and other applications. The quality of the weld directly affects the equipment's sealing, pressure-bearing capacity, and service life.
[0003] Currently, referring to patent publication number CN102039468A, when welding a pipe to a plate, one end of the pipe is first inserted into a hole in the plate, and then a welding torch is used to perform a circumferential weld at the connection between the pipe and the plate. In actual production, welding of tube sheets of varying sizes is often necessary. When the diameter of the pipe changes, the position and angle of the welding head within the welding torch, as well as the position of the welding wire, need to be adjusted. However, conventional welding torches struggle to achieve multi-directional adjustment of the welding head position, angle, and wire feed position, making it difficult to precisely weld tube sheets of varying sizes.

The adjustment mechanism welds the tube sheet during the rotation process. When welding tube sheets of different sizes, rotating the first lifting screw and the first sliding screw can drive the first sub-slider to move up and down and move parallel, thereby driving the wire feeding tube to move, so that the welding wire feeding position can be precisely adjusted. Rotating the second lifting screw and the second sliding screw can drive the second sub-slider to move up and down and move parallel, thereby driving the welding mechanism to move, so that the position of the welding mechanism can be precisely adjusted.

The sliding tungsten needle can adjust the length of the tungsten needle extending out of the gun head. By rotating the gun tail, the gun tail drives the clamping rod to slide in the sliding groove of the mounting block.

A plurality of deformation grooves are provided on the locking sleeve, and the pipeline is sleeved on the deformation sleeve.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, before welding the pipeline, the locking sleeve is first extended into the pipeline, and the third driving member then pulls the pull rod to move, and the pull rod drives the front cone sleeve to move toward the rear cone sleeve, and the ends of the front cone sleeve and the rear cone sleeve that are close to each other are inserted into the locking sleeve. Under the action of the deformation groove, the locking sleeve expands and deforms, and after expansion, the locking sleeve presses against the inner wall of the pipeline, thereby locking the pipeline and making it difficult for the pipeline to move during welding.

Whenever the turntable drives the reset tooth to move to the rack, the reset tooth contacts the rack and drives the mounting plate to move and reset. After the reset tooth has moved the mounting plate multiple times, it can drive the mounting plate to slowly move and reset.
[0023] Preferably, the reset tooth is rotatably arranged on the turntable, a reset torsion spring is provided at the rotation connection between the reset tooth and the turntable, an empty slot is opened in the middle of the rack, and when the mounting plate moves and resets, the turntable drives the rack to rotate into the empty slot.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mounting plate moves and resets, when the turntable drives the reset tooth to rotate to the rack, the reset tooth rotates into the empty slot of the rack, so that the reset tooth will not continue to move the mounting plate.

With the help of the guide rail and the slide, when the welding wire is fed out for a long time, the end of the welding wire will abut the workpiece. When the second driving member continues to drive the wire feeding wheel to rotate, the wire feeding wheel will not continue to drive the welding wire to feed the wire. At this time, the wire feeding wheel rolls on the welding wire. Under the action of the guide rail and the slide, the wire feeding wheel can drive the mounting plate to slide on the machine body, thereby buffering the feeding of the welding wire and preventing the welding wire from being stuck on the workpiece. 3. Through the locking mechanism, before welding the pipeline, the locking sleeve is first extended into the pipeline, and the third driving member pulls the pull rod to move, and the pull rod drives the front cone sleeve to move toward the rear cone sleeve. The ends of the front cone sleeve and the rear cone sleeve that are close to each other are inserted into the locking sleeve.

After the tungsten needle 66 is adjusted, the gun tail 63 is rotated, and the gun tail 63 drives the clamping rod 65 to slide in the slide groove 8 of the mounting block 64. When the end of the clamping rod 65 abuts the chamfer 9 of the slide groove 8, the end of the clamping rod 65 is tilted under the guidance of the chamfer 9, so that the tungsten needle 66 can be clamped and fixed.

[0049] The front cone sleeve 154 is threadedly fixedly mounted on the end of the second rod 1522 away from the first rod 1521, and the rear cone sleeve 155 is fixedly mounted on the end of the blocking rod 153 away from the fuselage 1, and the second rod 1522 slides through the rear cone sleeve 155. The diameters of the ends of the front cone sleeve 154 and the rear cone sleeve 155 that are close to each other gradually decrease and form a tapered shape.
[0050] Locking sleeve 156 is mounted between front and rear cone sleeves 154 and 155. It fits over second rod 1522. The inner sidewalls of locking sleeve 156 are flared at both ends to engage the tapered ends of front and rear cone sleeves 154 and 155. Locking rings 26 are integrally formed on both ends of the outer sidewalls of locking sleeve 156. Multiple deformation grooves 16 are spaced apart within locking sleeve 156 and locking ring 26.
[0051] Before welding the pipe, the locking sleeve 156 is first inserted into the pipe. The third driving member 151 drives the second rod 1522 to move via the first rod 1521. The second rod 1522 drives the front cone sleeve 154 to move toward the rear cone sleeve 155. The tapered ends of the front cone sleeve 154 and the rear cone sleeve 155, which are close to each other, are inserted into the locking sleeve 156. Under the action of the multiple deformation grooves 16, the locking sleeve 156 expands and deforms. After the expansion, the locking sleeve 156 drives the locking ring 26 to press against the inner wall of the pipe, thereby locking the pipe and preventing it from moving during welding.
[0052] The tube-to-sheet welding gun of the present embodiment is implemented as follows: before welding a pipe, the locking sleeve 156 is first inserted into the pipe. The third driving member 151 drives the second rod 1522 to move via the first rod 1521. The second rod 1522 drives the front cone sleeve 154 toward the rear cone sleeve 155. The tapered ends of the front cone sleeve 154 and the rear cone sleeve 155, which are close to each other, are inserted into the locking sleeve 156. Under the action of the multiple deformation grooves 16, the locking sleeve 156 expands and deforms. After the locking sleeve 156 expands, it drives the locking ring 26 to press against the inner wall of the pipe, thereby locking the pipe and preventing it from moving during welding. The pipe is then inserted into the hole in the plate. The first lifting screw 505 and the first sliding screw 507 are rotated to adjust the position of the wire feed tube 3. The second lifting screw 510 and the second sliding screw 512 are rotated to adjust the position of the tungsten needle 66. The rotating seat 514 is rotated to adjust the welding angle of the tungsten needle 66. The second driving member 73 drives the wire feed roller 74 to rotate, and the wire feed roller 74 drives the welding wire to move. After passing through the machine body 1, the welding wire enters the wire feed tube 3, so that the welding wire can be automatically fed out of the wire feed tube 3. The first driving member 41 can drive the head 2 to rotate through the driving gear 42 and the driven ring gear 43. The head 2 drives the wire feed tube 3 and the welding mechanism 6 to rotate around the pipe through the adjustment mechanism 5. The welding mechanism 6 then automatically performs circumferential welding on the connection between the pipe and the plate.
[0053] Example 2: Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 This embodiment differs from Example 1 in that a first gear 28 and a second gear 29 are rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the cover plate 23, meshing with each other. The second gear 29 is located above the first gear 28, and the rotating shaft of the first gear 28 is inserted into the driving end of the second driving member 73. A turntable 30 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the second gear 29. A reset tooth 31 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the turntable 30, and a reset torsion spring 32 is installed at the rotational connection between the reset tooth 31 and the turntable 30. C-shaped frames 25 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the guide rail 10 via bolts. A rack 27 is formed at the bottom of the C-shaped frame 25, and a slot 33 is defined in the middle of the rack 27.
[0054] The implementation principle of Example 2 of the present application is as follows: After the mounting plate 72 moves and buffers on the guide rail 10 through the slide 11, the second drive member 73 drives the wire feed wheel 74 to rotate to feed the welding wire. The second drive member 73 simultaneously drives the first gear 28 to rotate. The first gear 28 drives the turntable 30 to rotate through the second gear 29. The turntable 30 drives the reset tooth 31 to rotate. Whenever the turntable 30 drives the reset tooth 31 to move to the rack 27, the reset tooth 31 contacts the rack 27 and moves the mounting plate 72 to reset. After the reset tooth 31 has moved the mounting plate 72 multiple times, it can drive the mounting plate 72 to slowly move and reset. After the mounting plate 72 moves and resets, when the turntable 30 drives the reset tooth 31 to rotate to the rack 27, the reset tooth 31 rotates into the empty slot 33 of the rack 27, so that the reset tooth 31 will not continue to move the mounting plate 72. When the mounting plate 72 moves again for buffering and the reset tooth 31 just rotates to the rack 27, the reset tooth 31 can rotate away from the rack 27 so that the movement of the mounting plate 72 is not blocked, and then the reset torsion spring 32 drives the reset tooth 31 to rotate and reset.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present disclosure may be modified and varied in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, and the like made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
