Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipe welding, in particular to a pipe welding device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of pipe welding, especially in the oil, natural gas, chemical and shipbuilding industries, butt welding between round pipes is a common and critical connection process. Most existing pipe welding equipment adopts a welding method in which the pipe is fixed and the welding head rotates around the pipe. The structure of this type of equipment is relatively compact, which facilitates multi-angle welding and is suitable for working environments with limited space.

[0003] The existing pipe welding device with publication number CN114273812A has a welding gun drive assembly that can move along the outer circle of the pipe, thereby being able to uniformly weld the pipe joints. In the process of the welding gun bracket moving around the outer circle of the pipe, the push rod reciprocates and contacts the raised portion on the semicircular top plate, and then the welding gun bracket swings back and forth, so that fish scale welding is achieved at the welding point of the pipe, and the fish scale weld pattern has a high connection strength, thereby completing the welding of the pipe. In this welding method, the welding point is easily located above or to the side of the pipe during the welding process, and is greatly affected by gravity, which can easily lead to problems such as molten pool offset, insufficient penetration, and unstable forming, thereby affecting the welding quality and weld consistency.

[0004] To improve welding quality, some existing equipment adjusts the welding process by installing multi-axis linkage welding heads, introducing visual or temperature monitoring systems, and controlling the welding gun's posture. However, these solutions generally suffer from the following shortcomings: complex structures and high costs hinder their widespread adoption. Because the pipe remains stationary during welding, the welding gun travels a long path, requiring high-level path planning and trajectory control. Furthermore, the position of the molten pool constantly changes during welding, making it difficult to maintain the molten metal in a stable zone where gravity exerts minimal effects, which can easily lead to welding defects.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pipe welding device that can realize the rotation of the pipe itself, the fixed or small-range follow-up movement of the welding head, and ensure that the molten pool is always located in the lower center area, so as to reduce gravity interference, improve welding penetration and weld formation quality, and improve clamping stability and welding consistency through structural optimization to achieve high-quality automated welding.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: See also Figure 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a pipe welding device, including a base plate 1, a control module 2, two sets of fixing mechanisms 3 and a welding mechanism 4 arranged between the two sets of fixing mechanisms 3, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a bracket 301, a first motor 302, a roller 303, a lower fixing frame 304, an upper fixing frame 305, a plurality of first electric telescopic rods 306, a clamping block 307 and an arc-shaped tooth plate 308, wherein the lower fixing frame 304 and the upper fixing frame 305 are hinged to form an openable and closable structure for adapting to pipes of different diameters, the first electric telescopic rod 306 is extended and drives the clamping block 307 to fit the outer wall of the pipe to achieve stable fixation, the first motor 302 cooperates with the arc-shaped tooth plate 308 through the bevel gear to drive the lower fixing frame 304 and the upper fixing frame 305 to rotate around the axis of the pipe to achieve rotary welding preparation, through this structure, high-precision positioning and uniform rotation of the pipe are achieved, providing a basis for a stable molten pool below; In actual application of this device, the operator places two sections of round pipes to be welded horizontally between the two groups of welding mechanisms 4 of the equipment, and respectively places them on the lower fixed frame 304. The control module 2 issues an instruction, and multiple first electric telescopic rods 306 are extended synchronously, driving the clamping block 307 to fit the outer wall of the pipe fitting to achieve wrapping and clamping of the pipe fitting. The upper fixed frame 305 is closed with the lower fixed frame 304 under the action of the hinge structure to form a complete encircling structure, which is suitable for pipe fittings of different sizes.

[0020] Next, the first motor 302 is activated, and its output shaft, through the meshing of bevel gears with the curved toothed plate 308, drives the upper and lower fixed frames to rotate around the pipe axis. This rotation forms the basis for continuous welding motion, putting the system in a ready-to-weld state and creating a stable rotating platform for subsequent welding mechanism operations.

[0021] Example 2: See also Figure 1-6 On the basis of the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution: the welding mechanism 4 includes a connecting assembly and a welding module 404 on the connecting assembly. The welding module 404 can move in the front, back, up and down directions under the support of the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a fixing frame 401. The lower side of the fixing frame 401 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the bottom plate 1. A sliding rod 402 is inserted into the middle of the fixing frame 401. The outer wall of the sliding rod 402 is rotatably connected to the first hydraulic telescopic rod 403 through a bearing. The first hydraulic telescopic rod 403 A welding module 404 is provided at the upper end, a second motor 405 is fixedly connected to the rear middle part of the upper surface of the bottom plate 1, and a temperature recognition module 406 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 405. A moving mechanism 407 is provided on the right side of the fixed frame 401, and a second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 is hinged to the rear middle part of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 403. Another set of fixed frames 401 and sliding rod 402 are provided in the middle of the bottom plate 1, and the lower end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 is hinged to the outer wall of the sliding rod 402 in the middle of the bottom plate 1; The welding mechanism 4 is a multi-degree-of-freedom follow-up structure, which includes a fixed frame 401, a slide bar 402, a first hydraulic telescopic rod 403, a welding module 404, a second motor 405, a temperature recognition module 406, a second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 and a moving mechanism 407. The fixed frame 401 is fixed to the base plate 1, the slide bar 402 can slide left and right, the first hydraulic telescopic rod 403 is telescopic to drive the welding module 404 to move, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 controls the relative front and rear angles of the welding module 404, and the second motor 405 controls the posture of the temperature recognition module 406. The control module 2 adjusts the welding module 404 up and down and front and back based on the diameter of the pipe so that the welding point is always located at the bottom center of the pipe, ensuring that the molten pool is formed under the direction of gravity and the weld is uniform. The second motor 405 is controlled to adjust the angle of the detection end of the temperature recognition module 406 so that it is always aligned with the welding point for temperature detection. After the welding mechanism 4 is started during application, the welding module 404 is driven by the first hydraulic telescopic rod 403 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 to move up and down and forward and backward, accurately adjusting the height of the welding head so that it is aligned with the lower side of the weld joint of the two sections of pipe fittings, and the welding direction of the welding module 404 is right bottom upward welding. Since the first hydraulic telescopic rod 403 can rotate relative to the slide rod 402, the front and rear posture of the welding module 404 is adjusted by the second hydraulic telescopic rod 408 to ensure that the welding head is aligned with the center of the gap and the welding point is always directly below the gravity direction of the equipment. The molten pool is located in the center of the lower side, which can effectively reduce the interference of gravity on the molten metal and improve the stability of penetration and the quality of weld formation. The temperature recognition module 406 is angle-adjusted by the second motor 405 so that it continuously tracks the temperature changes at the center of the welding area according to the diameter of the pipe. The temperature information is fed back to the control module 2 in real time to provide a reference for the molten pool control. During the entire process, rotation, up and down positioning and temperature recognition cooperate with each other to ensure a stable molten pool and consistent welding.

[0022] Example 3: See also Figure 1-6 On the basis of the first and second embodiments, a lateral movement adjustment and multi-component linkage adjustment structure are further added, including a moving mechanism 407 arranged on the right side of the fixed frame 401. The moving mechanism 407 includes a third motor 701, a transmission rod 702, a diamond block 703, a spring 704 and a second electric telescopic rod 705. The third motor 701 drives the diamond block 703 to rotate through the transmission rod 702, pushing the second electric telescopic rod 705 arranged on the left side thereof to generate reciprocating movement in the left and right directions. The second electric telescopic rod 705 drives the sliding rod 402 to move horizontally as a whole, so that the welding module 404 generates lateral swing during the welding process, so that it moves synchronously during the welding process, improves the consistency of the weld and achieves high-quality automatic welding. This embodiment further realizes the lateral swing function of the welding head during the welding process, which is used to achieve a wider weld or improve the forming. As the welding mechanism 4 drives the pipe to rotate at a uniform speed, the third motor 701 starts and drives the transmission rod 702 to rotate, thereby driving the diamond block 703 to rotate. During the rotation of the diamond block 703, due to the longer lengths of its upper and lower ends, it will act on the second electric telescopic rod 705 on its left side, causing it to push the slide bar 402 to move back and forth laterally under the support of the spring 704, thereby driving the welding module 404 to swing synchronously in the left and right directions. This structure allows the welding head to remain at the center position of the bottom of the weld during the welding process, and to move back and forth slightly left and right, thereby widening the molten pool trajectory, avoiding undercutting, and improving the quality of weld formation. The control module 2 controls the motor rhythm according to the preset swing frequency to achieve precise swing welding.

[0023] Example 4: See also Figure 1-6Based on the first, second, and third embodiments, the present invention provides a technical solution: a plurality of first electric telescopic rods 306 can be extended and retracted according to the diameter of the pipe, and the maximum clamping range is set by the control module 2 to accommodate pipe diameters of different sizes. During the welding process, the welding module 404 automatically adjusts the swing amplitude and the welding power according to the welding temperature changes detected by the temperature recognition module 406. The control module 2 establishes a temperature-speed closed-loop model to achieve stable control of the molten pool. When abnormal fluctuations in the welding temperature are detected, such as when the molten pool is too shallow or too deep, the control module 2 automatically adjusts the rotation speed or welding current parameters of the first motor 302 to achieve stable and adaptive compensation welding control of the molten pool, thereby improving welding reliability.

[0024] The pipe welding equipment and its use method disclosed in the present application form a comprehensive welding solution with strong adaptability, high welding precision and high degree of automation by introducing an automatically adjustable clamping structure, a rotary drive mechanism, an adjustable posture welding module 404, a temperature recognition feedback system and a mechanical linkage moving mechanism 407 for realizing left and right reciprocating swing of the welding head on the basis of traditional pipe welding equipment. The first electric telescopic rod 306 drives the clamping block 307 to automatically fit pipes of different sizes, realizing fast and efficient automatic clamping and positioning, ensuring the initial stability of the welding process and the coaxial accuracy of the pipes, and the first motor 302 and the arc-shaped tooth plate 308 link the lower fixed frame 304 and the upper fixed frame 305 to realize the rotational drive of the clamped pipe, ensuring the continuous formation of the weld while reducing welding interruptions, and the double hydraulic telescopic rods respectively realize the fine position adjustment of the welding module 404 in the left and right and front and back directions, ensuring that the weld point is always in the gravity direction of the equipment. Directly below, the molten pool is located in the center of the lower side, which can effectively reduce the interference of gravity and changes in welding angle on the molten metal. The temperature of the welding point is monitored in real time by the temperature recognition module 406 and fed back to the control module 2. The welding parameters and position posture are dynamically adjusted according to the feedback results, effectively avoiding weld quality problems caused by heat input fluctuations. The transmission rod 702 with a diamond block 703 on the outer wall is driven to rotate by the third motor 701, and the contact between the diamond block 703 and the second electric telescopic rod 705 is used to realize the automatic left and right swing of the welding head, further expanding the coverage of the welding fusion zone, making the weld more uniform and the shape more natural. Combined with the spring 704 reset structure, the continuity and stability of the movement are ensured, and the weld quality and appearance consistency are improved. At the same time, the control module 2 centrally controls each drive unit to improve welding efficiency and consistency. The whole solution has a reasonable structure, complete functions, and close cooperation with each other, and can be widely used in round pipe welding scenarios of various sizes and materials.
