Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ring-shaped part welding, in particular to an aero-engine ring-shaped part alignment welding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas shielded welding is divided into manual tungsten argon arc welding, automatic tungsten argon arc welding and submerged arc welding, among which tungsten argon arc welding is most widely used in the aviation industry. This method has good visibility of arc and molten pool, is easy to operate, has no or little slag, is suitable for welding in various positions, and can weld almost all metal materials. The welding of metal pipes of aero-engines usually adopts manual argon arc welding.

[0003] However, the existing ring-shaped parts usually need to be customized with a set of fixtures to support the ring-shaped parts during welding due to different models, which is high in cost and reduces the production efficiency of the aero-engine. When welding two ring-shaped parts together, the lack of internal support and cleaning of the inner side of the welding interface causes dust to be inside the welding interface during welding, which affects the welding effect in the later stage. In addition, due to the lack of internal auxiliary positioning, if the two ring-shaped parts are slightly offset by the welding head during the welding process, the welding precision will be reduced. Moreover, due to the high temperature inside the ring-shaped part during welding, thermal stress may cause deformation of the parts. Therefore, the present application provides an aero-engine ring-shaped part alignment welding device to meet the needs. SUMMARY

[0015] Optionally, the inner diameter of the inner positioning sleeve is the same as the outer diameter of the inner positioning rod, and the first rubber plate and the second rubber plate are detachably sleeved with a cleaning sponge.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following advantages:

[0017] In the above scheme, by adjusting the positioning and clamping assembly, the structure of the sliding column can adapt to the preliminary sleeving requirements of ring-shaped parts with different inner diameters, without the need to customize a dedicated support clamp for each type, thereby greatly reducing the purchase and replacement costs of the clamp.

[0018] The first rubber plate is mounted at the end of the rotating arm of the auxiliary positioning assembly, and the second rubber plate is mounted on the inner side of the electric telescopic arm shell. The two are externally detachably sleeved with a cleaning sponge. In the positioning process of the annular part, the first servo motor is started to drive the annular part to rotate, and at the same time, the electric telescopic arm is pushed by the cylinder to make the roller group fit the outer side of the annular part to limit the position. At this time, the cleaning sponge of the first rubber plate and the second rubber plate can rotate and wipe the welded butt joint edge and the inner side of the edge of the annular part, effectively removing dust, debris and other impurities, avoiding impurities from being melted into the molten pool during welding, reducing welding defects (such as pores and slag inclusion), ensuring the strength of the welded joint, and at the same time, the cleaning sponge is designed to be detachable. After long-term use and wear and tear or pollution, it can be quickly replaced without the need to disassemble the entire positioning assembly, reducing maintenance difficulty and time cost, and ensuring that the cleaning effect is always stable.

[0019] After the support arm of the auxiliary positioning assembly is adjusted in distance by the threaded telescopic rod to support the inner wall, the sixth servo motor drives the rotating arm to rotate 90 degrees, so that the rotating arm and the support arm are in a transverse horizontal state. At the same time, the half-tooth ring pushes the second rack to drive the elastic push plate to push out outward, flexibly assisting in pushing the inner wall of the annular part, avoiding damage to the surface of the part by hard support, and further enhancing the adhesion of the inner wall. In addition, the inner support plate at the end of the electric telescopic arm can be flush with the top butt joint edge of the annular part, assisting in limiting the position from the end during welding to prevent the part from shifting up and down.

[0020] By symmetrically arranging two groups of auxiliary positioning assemblies, the output end of the electric telescopic arm of one group of auxiliary positioning assemblies is mounted with an inner positioning sleeve, and the other group is mounted with an inner positioning rod, and the inner diameter of the inner positioning sleeve is the same as the outer diameter of the inner positioning rod. During the butt joint welding stage, when the two electric slides push the annular parts to move towards the middle, the inner positioning rod can be accurately inserted into the inner positioning sleeve to form a "rod-sleeve" butt joint structure, realizing integrated positioning of the two groups of auxiliary positioning assemblies, ensuring that the two annular parts are completely aligned at the welding joint, avoiding welding misalignment (such as misaligned edges and uneven gaps) caused by misalignment during butt joint, ensuring that the welding precision meets the high requirements of aero-engine parts, and during welding, the two electric telescopic arms are synchronously pushed outward, and under the synergistic action of the inner support plate and the inner positioning sleeve and the inner positioning rod, the inner side of the annular part welding joint is supported in real time to offset the pushing force generated during welding of the welding head, preventing a small amount of displacement at the joint of the two annular parts, and further ensuring the flatness and consistency of the welding joint.

[0021] A vortex fan is mounted on the inner wall of the wind collecting cylinder at the right end of the driving assembly. During welding, the high-speed gas blown by the vortex fan carries cold air when flowing through the refrigeration pipe, and then the cold air is guided by the air distributing cylinder to be diffused to the inner side of the annular part welding joint, forming a directional and uniform cold air cooling area, which can quickly remove the local high temperature generated during welding, reducing the internal thermal stress of the annular part. The annular parts of the aero-engine are mostly made of metal materials, and high temperature during welding can easily cause the parts to deform due to thermal expansion and contraction.

[0052] When the support work is basically completed, the left and right electric sliding rails 11 are started to move synchronously to the middle, the two annular parts to be welded are pushed to the welding machine (not marked in the figure) in the middle, and the edges of the two annular parts are butted. Since the inner sides of the two annular parts are assisted by the auxiliary positioning assembly 4, the electric telescopic arms 491 at the ends are folded at this position. At this time, the inner positioning rod 496 on one side of the left electric telescopic arm 491 is accurately inserted into the inner positioning sleeve 495 on one side of the right electric telescopic arm 491 (as shown in Figure 8In the shown), the integrated support measures are formed, the positioning of the multiple two groups of auxiliary positioning assemblies 4 is completed, and the two sides of the electric telescopic arm 491 are simultaneously pushed outward. At the same time, the inside of the welding seam of the annular part is supported to prevent displacement of the joint of the two annular parts during welding, resulting in a decrease in accuracy. Finally, the welding machine is started, and the rotation of the second servo motor 14 is started to perform the welding work of the annular part.

[0053] At the same time of welding, the eddy current fan 16 and the refrigeration pipe 17 start to work. The high-speed gas blown by the eddy current fan 16 blows the cold air on the surface of the refrigeration pipe 17 to the surface of the wind collecting cylinder 15. Due to the shape of the wind collecting cylinder 15, the cold air will spread outward along the conical streamline, and the inside of the welding seam of the annular part is blown with cold air to produce a continuous heat dissipation effect, prevent the thermal stress caused by high temperature during welding, and make the annular part deformed. After the welding is completed, the cold air can also be blown to quickly cool the welded seam.
