Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of weld line energy control, in particular to the technical field of a control method of an argon arc automatic welding line energy control system for narrow gap automatic welding. [Background Technology]

[0002] During the automatic welding of thick-walled pipes, the weld head advances along a fixed track along the pipe's outer wall at a specific speed. However, due to the significant difference in circumference between the inner and outer walls of thick-walled pipes, this speed cannot directly reflect the linear velocity of the tungsten tip, hindering real-time control of the weld energy input and the weld head's adaptability to the weld bead. To maintain a constant weld energy input and improve the weld head's adaptability to the weld bead, a new control method for the argon arc weld energy control system for narrow-gap automatic welding is required. [Summary of the invention]

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and propose a control method for the argon arc automatic welding wire energy control system for narrow gap automatic welding, which can control a certain welding wire energy, improve the adaptability of the machine head to the weld bead, and achieve the required weld quality.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention proposes a control method for an argon arc automatic welding wire energy control system for narrow gap automatic welding, wherein the argon arc automatic welding wire energy control system includes a head module, a head control module and a data processing module, wherein the head control module is electrically connected to the head module and the data processing module, and the head module is provided with a laser irradiation head and a lanthanum tungsten electrode, and the laser irradiation head is electrically connected to the data processing module; the head module is fixed on a track, and the track is fixed on the outer wall of the thick-walled tube outside the thick-walled tube;

[0005] The control method includes the following steps:

[0006] Step s1: The head module performs bottom welding. The entire bottom welding process is controlled according to the maximum line energy. The bottom welding head travel speed and the bottom welding speed are the same as the time it takes for the head module to circle the pipe.

[0007] Step s2: Calculate the real-time travel speed of the head module based on the data obtained by the laser irradiation head, where the real-time travel speed is the speed of the head module relative to the track;

[0008] Step s3: Calculate the welding speed according to the linear energy = UI / V, and then calculate the head travel speed based on the outer circumference of the track and the inner circumference of the pipe. The welding speed and the head travel speed are the same as the time required to travel around the pipe.

[0009] Step s4: Complete welding according to the full-thickness welding parameters of the pipeline; the full-thickness welding parameters of the pipeline meet the following conditions: when the inner wall of the thick-walled pipe on the inside is welded to the outer wall of the thick-walled pipe, the line energy remains unchanged, and as the current and voltage increase, the welding speed increases and the head travel speed increases; in the local area of ​​the filling weld, when the inner wall of the thick-walled pipe is welded to the outer wall of the thick-walled pipe, the line energy remains unchanged, and when the current, voltage and welding speed remain unchanged, the head travel speed gradually decreases.

[0010] Preferably, the laser irradiation head is used to monitor the depth of the weld in the groove in real time and provide feedback to the data processing module.

[0011] Preferably, the pipeline full thickness welding parameters are:

[0012]

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention inputs relevant information into the data processing module, uses laser to monitor the depth of the weld in the groove in real time, and feeds back to the numerical control processing module. According to the algorithm, the instructions are sent through the control module to the machine head to adjust and control the linear speed of the tungsten extreme end (i.e., the welding speed), and fine-tune the machine head height in real time to achieve the required weld quality.
