Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine tower frame welding equipment, and specifically discloses an automatic welding device and welding method for wind turbine tower frames. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of the global energy structure's accelerated transition to renewable energy, wind power, as one of the core clean energy sources, has seen its equipment manufacturing scale continuously expand. As wind turbine generators develop towards larger single-unit capacities and taller tower structures, the tower, as the core component supporting the unit's operation, faces increasingly stringent reliability requirements in its manufacturing process. In particular, the portal frame structure on the tower's sidewall, serving as a critical passage for equipment installation and maintenance, must maintain structural consistency with the tower body under complex mechanical environments over long periods. This poses unprecedented challenges to the precision and stability of welding processes. Traditional welding methods rely on manual operation, but this has significant limitations in practical applications. Due to the special shape and dimensions of the tower structure, operators are easily affected by the working environment and subjective factors when performing multi-angle, all-position welding, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity of weld quality. Such process deviations can not only lead to potential structural hazards but also increase subsequent maintenance costs, becoming one of the bottlenecks restricting the industry's large-scale development.

[0015] Furthermore, a method for using an automatic welding device for wind turbine tower door frames includes the following steps.
[0016] S1. Before starting work, place the wind turbine tower on the rollers of the first and fourth support plates. Then, pull out a section of welding wire from the lower welding wire spool, pass it through the reserved hole, and install it on the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder. Fix the welding wire with the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder. The length of the welding wire extending out of the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder is greater than the length of the wind turbine tower frame.
[0017] S2. Pass the welding wire on the upper welding wire spool through the circular through hole on the moving cylinder and place the welding wire at the connection between the wind turbine tower and the wind turbine tower frame. The extension end of the first electric cylinder extends and pushes the first moving frame to move away from the first electric cylinder. The first moving frame drives the second moving frame to move away from the first electric cylinder. Under the action of the first rack, the first gear rotates. The first gear drives the push block to move through the second gear. When the push block moves, under the obstruction of the limit block, the push block pushes the swing block to move, which in turn drives the second fixed plate to rotate. The second fixed plate drives the upper welding wire spool to rotate through the third rotating shaft, thereby releasing the welding wire. At the same time, the pressure block slides down along the second mounting plate. The pressure block presses the lifting shaft down. The lifting shaft drives the moving cylinder to descend along the second mounting plate through the driving block, thereby pulling the welding wire. The electric arc generated by the first arc welding gun heats the welding wire, thereby achieving welding at the connection between the wind turbine tower and the wind turbine tower frame. After welding, the first electric cylinder pulls the first moving frame back to its original position. During this process, the obstruction of the limit block is lost, and the second fixed plate does not rotate.
[0018] S3. At the same time as the first arc welding gun is started, the first motor is started. The first motor drives the third gear to rotate, and the third gear drives the grinding rod to rotate through the fourth gear. At the same time as the third gear rotates, it drives the rotating fan blade to rotate through the transmission shaft. When the grinding rod rotates, it grinds the weld seam through the grinding disc, and blows off the weld seam debris by rotating the fan blade.
[0019] S4, the second motor, the second arc welding gun, and the second electric cylinder start simultaneously. The second motor drives the fifth gear to rotate. Under the action of the second rack, the fifth gear drives the third support plate to slide along the connecting plate. The welding wire on the welding wire spool is pulled by the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder. At the same time, the welding wire is melted by the second arc welding gun. The melted welding wire is used to weld the connection between the wind turbine tower and the wind turbine tower frame.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention compared with the prior art are: (1) This invention realizes that the welding wire can be automatically pushed without the need for a person to hold the welding wire, thereby improving safety; (2) This invention realizes the collection of the weld residue after grinding, thereby avoiding the impact on the working environment.

A second rack 603 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 602, and the second rack 603 meshes with the fifth gear 604. An upper mounting plate 610 is fixedly mounted on the third support plate 605. Two second arc welding guns 608 and second electric cylinders 609 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the upper mounting plate 610. The telescopic ends of the second electric cylinder 609 are fixedly equipped with clamps. Two pre-drilled holes 611 are symmetrically arranged on the upper mounting plate 610. Two positioning shafts 612 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower side of the third support plate 605. Each positioning shaft 612 is located below a pre-drilled hole 611. A lower welding wire spool 613 is rotatably mounted on the outer surface of each positioning shaft 612. Welding wire is wound on each lower welding wire spool 613, and the welding wire on each lower welding wire spool 613 passes through the pre-drilled hole 611 and engages with a clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. Simultaneously, the second motor 606, the second arc welding gun 608, and the second electric cylinder 609 are started. The second motor 606 drives the fifth gear 604 to rotate. Under the action of the second rack 603, the fifth gear 604 drives the third support plate 605 to slide along the connecting plate 602. The welding wire on the welding wire spool 613 is pulled by the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. At the same time, the welding wire is melted by the second arc welding gun 608. The melted welding wire is used to weld the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102.
[0044] The working principle of this invention is as follows.
[0045] (a) Before work, place the wind turbine tower 101 on the rollers 211 of the first support plate 201 and the fourth support plate 205. Then, pull out a section of welding wire from the lower welding wire spool 613, pass it through the reserved hole 611, and install it on the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. Fix the welding wire with the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. The welding wire extends out of the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609, and the length of the welding wire extending out of the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609 is greater than the length of the wind turbine tower door frame 102.
[0046] (ii) Pass the welding wire on the upper welding wire spool 411 through the circular through hole on the moving cylinder 420 and place the welding wire at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102. Then, the first electric cylinder 406 and the air pump are started, and the air pump sprays nitrogen gas into the wind turbine tower 101 through the nozzle.
[0047] The extension end of the first electric cylinder 406 pushes the first moving frame 405 to move away from the first electric cylinder 406. The first moving frame 405 drives the second moving frame 430 to move away from the first electric cylinder 406. Under the action of the first rack 402, the first gear 404 rotates. The first gear 404 drives the push block 424 to move through the second gear 408. When the push block 424 moves, under the blocking action of the limit block 426, the push block 424 pushes the swing block 427 to move, thereby driving the second fixed plate 410 to rotate. The second fixed plate 410 drives the upper welding wire spool 411 to rotate through the third rotating shaft 425, thereby releasing the welding wire. At the same time, the pressure block 414 moves along the second mounting... The plate 412 slides downward, and the pressure block 414 presses the lifting shaft 418 down. The lifting shaft 418 drives the moving cylinder 420 down along the second mounting plate 412 through the driving block 419, thereby pulling the welding wire. When the photoelectric sensor detects the gap at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102, the first arc welding gun 431 is activated to generate an arc. The arc generated by the first arc welding gun 431 heats the welding wire, thereby realizing the welding at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102. After the welding is completed, the first electric cylinder 406 pulls the first moving frame 405 back to its original position. During this process, the limit block 426 is no longer blocked, and the second fixed plate 410 does not rotate.
[0048] (III) When the first arc welding gun 431 is started, the first motor 502 is started. The first motor 502 drives the third gear 504 to rotate. The third gear 504 drives the grinding rod 508 to rotate through the fourth gear 505. When the third gear 504 rotates, it drives the rotating fan blade 507 to rotate through the transmission shaft 506. When the grinding rod 508 rotates, it grinds the weld seam through the grinding disc. The rotating fan blade 507 blows the ground debris off and it falls into the collection tank 3.
[0049] (iv) The second motor 606, the second arc welding gun 608, and the second electric cylinder 609 are started simultaneously. The second motor 606 drives the fifth gear 604 to rotate. Under the action of the second rack 603, the fifth gear 604 drives the third support plate 605 to slide along the connecting plate 602. The welding wire on the welding wire spool 613 is pulled by the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. At the same time, the welding wire is melted by the second arc welding gun 608. The molten welding wire is used to weld the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102.
[0050] The present invention also discloses a method for using an automatic welding device for wind turbine tower door frames, comprising the following steps.
[0051] S1. Before starting work, place the wind turbine tower 101 on the rollers 211 of the first support plate 201 and the fourth support plate 205. Then, pull out a section of welding wire from the lower welding wire spool 613, pass it through the reserved hole 611, and install it on the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. Fix the welding wire with the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. The welding wire extends out of the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609, and the length of the welding wire extending out of the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609 is greater than the length of the wind turbine tower frame 102.
[0052] S2. Pass the welding wire on the upper welding wire spool 411 through the circular through hole on the moving cylinder 420 and place the welding wire at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102. Then, the first electric cylinder 406 and the air pump are started. The air pump sprays nitrogen gas into the wind turbine tower 101 through the nozzle. The telescopic end of the first electric cylinder 406 extends, pushing the first moving frame 405 to move away from the first electric cylinder 406. The first moving frame 405 drives the second moving frame 430 to move away from the first electric cylinder 406. Under the action of the first rack 402, the first gear 404 rotates. The first gear 404 drives the push block 424 to move through the second gear 408. When the push block 424 moves, under the blocking action of the limit block 426, the push block 424 pushes the swing block 427 to move, thereby driving the second fixed plate 410 to rotate. The second fixed plate 41... The third rotating shaft 425 drives the upper welding wire reel 411 to rotate, thereby releasing the welding wire. At the same time, the pressure block 414 slides down along the second mounting plate 412, and the pressure block 414 presses the lifting shaft 418 to descend. The lifting shaft 418 drives the moving cylinder 420 to descend along the second mounting plate 412 through the driving block 419, thereby pulling the welding wire. When the photoelectric sensor detects the gap at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102, the first arc welding gun 431 is activated to generate an arc. The arc generated by the first arc welding gun 431 heats the welding wire, thereby achieving welding at the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102. After the welding is completed, the first electric cylinder 406 pulls the first moving frame 405 back to its original position. During this process, the limit block 426 is no longer blocking, and the second fixed plate 410 does not rotate.
[0053] S3. At the same time as the first arc welding gun 431 is started, the first motor 502 is started. The first motor 502 drives the third gear 504 to rotate. The third gear 504 drives the grinding rod 508 to rotate through the fourth gear 505. At the same time as the third gear 504 rotates, it drives the rotating fan blade 507 to rotate through the transmission shaft 506. When the grinding rod 508 rotates, it grinds the weld seam through the grinding disc. The rotating fan blade 507 blows the ground debris off and it falls into the collection tank 3.
[0054] S4, the second motor 606, the second arc welding gun 608, and the second electric cylinder 609 start simultaneously. The second motor 606 drives the fifth gear 604 to rotate. Under the action of the second rack 603, the fifth gear 604 drives the third support plate 605 to slide along the connecting plate 602. The welding wire on the welding wire spool 613 is pulled by the clamp at the telescopic end of the second electric cylinder 609. At the same time, the welding wire is melted by the second arc welding gun 608. The melted welding wire is used to weld the connection between the wind turbine tower 101 and the wind turbine tower door frame 102.
