[0026] The present invention provides a stainless steel pipe inner wall automatic shielded welding gas distribution device, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, the welding assembly 1 includes a welding head 3 and a gas distribution assembly 2. A welding head 3 is located at the center of the welding assembly 1, and a gas distribution assembly 2 is installed outside the welding head 3. The gas distribution assembly 2 works in conjunction with the welding head 3 to provide weld protection for the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe. Adjusters 9 are located on either side of the welding assembly 1, and sliding supports 10 are installed inside the adjusting members 9. The sliding supports 10 are used to support the welding assembly 1 and reduce friction.

[0027] The specific structure of the gas distribution component 2 is as follows Figure 2-3As shown, the core portion of the device is an annular air cavity 4, with several guide vanes 5 fixedly mounted inside the annular air cavity 4. A gas channel 6 is formed between the guide vanes 5. The outlet of the gas channel 6 is connected to a diverter nozzle 7, and a microporous plate 8 is located inside the diverter nozzle 7. The microporous plate 8 has multiple evenly distributed through-holes. The shielding gas in the annular air cavity 4 is transported to the diverter nozzle 7 through the gas channel 6. The microporous plate 8 further refines the gas flow distribution and evenly covers the welding area. The outer side of the annular air cavity 4 is provided with an air inlet connector 15, which is connected to an external gas source via a pipeline. The interior of the air inlet connector 15 is equipped with a filter 16 to remove impurities in the gas. The guide vanes 5 have an arc-shaped cross-section, with the arc surface facing the center of the annular air cavity 4. This allows the gas to flow along the arc surface under the action of the guide vanes 5, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas. The outlet end of the diverter nozzle 7 is provided with a tapered expansion portion, the diameter of which gradually increases from the inside to the outside, which is used to expand the gas coverage area. The thickness of the microporous plate 8 is 1-2 mm, the diameter of the through holes is 0.5-1 mm, and the spacing between adjacent through holes is 1-1.5 mm, ensuring that the gas can be evenly distributed and the welding quality will not be affected by excessive airflow.

[0028] The specific structure of the regulating member 9 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the adjusting member 9 includes an adjusting rod 11, one end of which is fixedly connected to a limit block 12, and the two limit blocks 12 are respectively located on both sides of the welding assembly 1. A threaded section is provided at the other end of the adjusting rod 11, and the threaded section is used in conjunction with an external locking nut to adjust the position of the welding assembly 1. A scale mark is provided in the middle of the adjusting rod 11, and the scale mark is used to indicate the position of the welding assembly 1, so that the operator can accurately adjust the position of the welding head 3. The sliding support member 10 includes a slider 13 slidably connected to the inside of the adjusting member 9, and a ball 14 is provided at the bottom of the slider 13. The ball 14 contacts the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe fitting to support the welding assembly 1 and reduce friction. A spring is provided at the top of the slider 13, and the two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the slider 13 and the inner wall of the adjusting member 9. The elastic force of the spring ensures that the slider 13 always clings to the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe fitting.

[0029] The specific structure of the welding assembly 1 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the welding assembly 1 includes two support seats 17 respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the welding head 3, and a guide rod 18 is provided between the two support seats 17. The guide rod 18 passes through the welding head 3 and is slidably connected to the welding head 3. The welding head 3 moves along the guide rod 18 to adjust the welding position.

[0030] A sealing ring is provided on the inner side of the annular air cavity 4 , and the sealing ring is in close contact with the outer side of the guide plate 5 to prevent gas leakage.

[0031] During operation, the welding assembly 1 and gas distribution assembly 2 are first assembled, and then the entire assembly is inserted into the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe to be welded. The position of the welding assembly 1 is adjusted using the adjustment rod 11 of the adjustment member 9, so that the welding head 3 is aligned with the area to be welded. The scale markings on the adjustment rod 11 assist the operator in precisely controlling the position of the welding head 3. The slider 13 in the sliding support 10, due to the elastic force of the spring, adheres tightly to the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe, while the ball bearing 14 reduces friction, ensuring that the welding assembly 1 moves smoothly along the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe.

[0032] During welding, an external gas source delivers shielding gas into the annular air cavity 4 through the air inlet connector 15. The shielding gas passes through the filter 16 to remove impurities and then enters the annular air cavity 4. The gas in the annular air cavity 4 enters the gas channel 6 under the guidance of the guide vane 5, and then the air flow distribution is further refined by the diverter nozzle 7 and the microporous plate 8. The conical extension of the diverter nozzle 7 expands the gas coverage area, and the through holes in the microporous plate 8 ensure that the gas is evenly distributed, avoiding interference with the welding process due to excessively fast airflow. When the welding head 3 is welding on the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe, the gas distribution assembly 2 delivers uniform shielding gas to the welding area, thereby effectively protecting the welding area from oxidation or other external factors.

[0033] The entire device is designed with the practical needs of stainless steel pipe interior welding in mind. The multi-stage gas flow refinement of the gas distribution assembly 2 and the flexible adjustment capabilities of the welding assembly 1 address the existing issues of uneven gas shielding, unstable welding quality, complex equipment structure, and high manufacturing costs. The various components of the device function through mechanical connections and coordination, resulting in a simple and easy-to-maintain structure suitable for welding the interior walls of stainless steel pipes of various specifications.

[0034] In order to better enable relevant personnel in this technical field to fully understand and implement the present invention, the specific implementation principles of the present invention are supplemented below in combination with specific application scenarios.

[0035] First, assemble the welding assembly 1 and gas distribution assembly 2 according to the design requirements, ensuring that all components are tightly and securely connected. Next, insert the entire assembly into the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe to be welded. The balls 14 in the sliding support 10 now contact the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe, and the spring force keeps the slider 13 in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe, providing stable support for the entire assembly and reducing friction. The adjustment rod 11 in the adjustment member 9 is secured to the sides of the welding assembly 1 by stoppers 12 at each end. The operator can precisely adjust the position of the welding head 3 using the scale markings on the adjustment rod 11 to align it with the area to be welded.

[0036] Before the welding starts, the external gas source delivers the shielding gas to the annular gas cavity 4 through the gas inlet joint 15, and the gas enters the annular gas cavity 4 after removing impurities through the filter screen 16. The flow guide vane 5 in the annular gas cavity 4 has an arc-shaped cross section, and the arc-shaped surface thereof faces the center direction of the annular gas cavity 4, so that the gas flows along the arc-shaped surface, thereby improving the uniformity of the gas. The gas passage 6 between the flow guide vanes 5 guides the gas to the flow divider nozzle 7, and the outlet end of the flow divider nozzle 7 is provided with a tapered expansion portion, and the diameter of the tapered expansion portion gradually increases from inside to outside, thereby further expanding the coverage range of the gas. A plurality of through holes are formed in the microporous plate 8 on the inner side of the flow divider nozzle 7, the diameter of the through holes is 0.5-1mm, and the spacing between adjacent through holes is 1-1.5mm. This design ensures that the gas can be uniformly distributed and will not interfere with the welding process due to excessive gas flow.

[0037] During the welding process, the welding head 3 moves along the guide rod 18 to adjust the welding position. When the welding head 3 is welding on the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe, the gas distribution assembly 2 delivers uniform shielding gas to the welding area, effectively protecting the welding area from oxidation or other external factors.

[0038] In actual application, if it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding head 3, the operator can fine-tune it through the adjusting rod 11 of the adjusting piece 9. The threaded section of the adjusting rod 11 is used in cooperation with the external locking nut, and the position of the welding assembly 1 can be adjusted by rotating the locking nut, and at the same time, the scale mark on the adjusting rod 11 can assist the operator to accurately control the position of the welding head 3. The sliding block 13 in the sliding support 10 always maintains contact with the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe through the elastic force of the spring, and the design of the ball 14 reduces the friction force when the device moves on the inner wall of the pipe, thereby ensuring that the welding assembly 1 can run smoothly.

[0039] The design of the whole device realizes the uniform distribution of the shielding gas through a multi-stage gas flow refinement mechanism. The gas in the annular gas cavity 4 flows along the arc-shaped surface under the action of the flow guide vane 5, thereby improving the initial uniformity of the gas; the gas passage 6 guides the gas to the flow divider nozzle 7, and the tapered expansion portion of the flow divider nozzle 7 further expands the coverage range of the gas; and the through holes on the microporous plate 8 finally refine the gas flow distribution, thereby ensuring that the gas can uniformly cover the welding area. In addition, the sealing ring effectively prevents gas leakage.

[0040] The application also discloses a stainless steel pipe inner wall automatic protection welding process, which comprises the following steps: S1, device pretreatment: assemble the welding assembly 1 and the gas distribution assembly 2, adjust the extension length of the sliding support 10 through the adjusting rod 11 of the adjusting piece 9, make the ball 14 fit the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe, and control the spring compression amount to be 2-3mm, so as to ensure that the sliding resistance of the device in the pipe is ≤5N; S2. Gas parameter setting: Connect argon gas with a purity of ≥99.99% through the gas inlet connector 15, adjust the gas source pressure to 0.2-0.3 MPa, control the gas flow rate to 8-12 L / min, and filter it through the filter 16 before entering the annular gas cavity 4; S3. Welding positioning: Push the device to the welding position, and position the welding head 3 by adjusting the scale mark of the rod 11 so that the alignment deviation between the welding head 3 and the weld is ≤1mm, and at the same time ensure that the distance between the micro-plate 8 and the welding area is 5-8mm; S4, shielding gas pre-flow: open the gas source 3-5 seconds in advance, so that the shielding gas is guided by the guide plate 5, diffused by the diverter nozzle 7 and refined by the micro-porous plate 8, forming a stable gas curtain in the welding area. The coverage of the gas curtain is ≥ 1.5 times the diameter of the welding area; S5. Automatic welding: Start the welding head 3 and move it along the guide rod 18 at a speed of 50-100 mm / min. At the same time, the position of the movable plate 306 is adjusted in real time by the push rod to keep the tension in the welding area at 20-30N. During the welding process, the air curtain pressure is continuously monitored and the fluctuation range is ≤±0.02MPa. S6. Post-weld treatment: After welding is completed, delay 5-8 seconds to turn off the gas source. After the protective gas completely covers the molten pool and cools down, exit the device and clean the inner wall of the pipe.

[0041] The automatic shielded welding process for the inner wall of a stainless steel pipe according to claim 9 is characterized in that, in S5, the welding head 3 adopts a pulse arc welding mode with a pulse frequency of 50-100 Hz, a peak current of 120-150 A, a base current of 40-60 A, and an arc voltage maintained at 18-22 V; when the inner diameter of the pipe changes, the elastic coefficient of the spring of the sliding support 10 is adaptively adjusted to 80-100 N / m to ensure that the gap between the microplate 8 and the inner wall of the pipe is always maintained at 3-5 mm, and the gas flow rate uniformity error is ≤5% By combining the above steps and principles, the present invention solves the existing problems of uneven gas shielding, unstable welding quality, complex equipment structure, and high manufacturing costs. The various components of the device function through mechanical connections and coordination, resulting in a simple and easy-to-maintain structure suitable for welding the interior walls of stainless steel pipes of various specifications.
