Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of plasma welding, and in particular to an arc welding device for machining of electromechanical equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the manufacturing of electromechanical equipment, plasma welding technology is widely used in precision component welding due to its high thermal efficiency and high energy density. However, the existing plasma welding equipment generally has problems such as poor connection of multiple processes and low automation degree, which makes it difficult to improve the welding efficiency. Traditional equipment mostly adopts a single-station operation mode, which requires frequent manual loading and unloading of workpieces, not only increasing the operation strength, but also easily causing positioning deviation due to human factors. Especially in double-sided butt welding, the workpiece turning process relies on additional mechanical hands or manual intervention, which not only increases the complexity of the equipment, but also affects the welding precision. In addition, the problems such as workpiece deformation caused by welding heat accumulation and welding slag splashing to pollute the equipment have not been effectively solved. Some improvement schemes try to improve the efficiency through rotating station design, but due to the insufficient precision of the transmission mechanism, inertia deviation is easily generated during station switching, and secondary positioning calibration is still needed. The existing clamping mechanism mostly adopts rigid limiting mode, which easily causes thin-walled part deformation due to overload pressure during workpiece clamping, affecting the weld quality.

[0053] The functions and effects of each structure in the above content are further explained and described below, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the technical solutions:

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 The workpiece carrier disc 2 is driven by the rotating shaft 23 to complete the four-station cycle switching in a 90° indexing manner. The transmission mechanism adopts the self-locking characteristics of the worm and the gear, which can effectively prevent the deviation caused by inertia during the work station conversion, and ensure the positioning accuracy of the workpiece carrier disc 2 in the static state. The four workpiece carriers 21 arranged in a ring on the workpiece carrier disc 2 are designed with inner and outer workpiece grooves 211, which can simultaneously carry two welding workpieces to be butt-jointed in the same station.

[0055] The jacking frame 3 is a vertical motion actuator, which drives the lifting welding platform 4 to complete height adjustment through the jacking cylinder 31, and cooperates with the guide system composed of the guide sleeve 32 and the lifting guide rod 41 to ensure smooth and stable lifting process. The alignment sensor 33 arranged on the upper end of the jacking frame 3 and the trigger piece 22 on the bottom of the workpiece carrier 2 form a closed-loop feedback system. When the carrier tool 21 rotates to the welding station, the trigger piece 22 triggers the sensor signal, and the rotating motor 11 stops running, realizing accurate positioning of the station. The specially arranged welding powder collection box 34 is located directly below the welding area, which can collect the scattered welding slag and powder in real time during the welding process, avoiding pollution of the workpiece surface and mechanical parts.

[0056] The double clamping module 5 arranged on the lifting welding platform 4 adopts a dynamic and static combined design, in which the fixed end clamping module 5 and the movable end clamping module 5 controlled by the horizontal movement mechanism form a clamping alignment system. The horizontal movement mechanism drives the movable end clamping module 5 to slide along the horizontal movement guide rail 45 through the horizontal movement cylinder 44, and cooperates with the elastic limiting mechanism composed of the horizontal movement stop rod 46 and the stop block 461 to automatically stop moving when the built-in pressure sensor in the stop block 461 reaches the preset threshold, ensuring that the workpiece clamping process maintains sufficient clamping force and avoids excessive pressure causing workpiece deformation. The mechanism realizes accurate positioning and flexible contact of the workpiece during clamping through the double protection of mechanical limiting and electrical control.

[0057] The core component of the turnover mechanism, the turnover control plate 9, is coupled with the pin shaft 54 of the clamping module 5 through the movable strip hole 92. When the turnover cylinder 93 drives the turnover control plate 9 to move downward, the movable strip hole 92 generates a vector force on the pin shaft 54, forcing the rocker arm 53 to rotate 90° around the turnover shaft 52, so that the two rotary clamping cylinders 51 carry out spatial pose adjustment of the workpiece. The pressure sheet sensor 421 in the limiting block 42 can sense the downward contact state of the turnover control plate 9 in real time, trigger the rear linkage horizontal movement cylinder 44 for micro-distance adjustment, and cooperate with the visual recognition function of the image acquisition module 64 to realize sub-millimeter level alignment accuracy of the workpiece butt joint surface. During this process, the 135° angle design of the rocker arm 53 and the rotary clamping cylinder 51 effectively increases the length of the force arm of the overturning torque, reducing the driving energy consumption.

[0058] The mechanical arm 61 carried by the welding frame 6 adopts a multi-degree-of-freedom motion mechanism, and the electric arc welding gun 62 and the associated gas pipe 63 at the end form a composite welding unit. The electric arc welding gun 62 generates a high-temperature plasma beam through high-frequency electric arc during welding, and cooperates with the protective gas delivered by the gas pipe 63 to form a stable welding environment, significantly improving the weld quality. The image acquisition module 64 adopts a high-resolution visual camera, which can capture the position offset of the workpiece butt joint surface in real time, automatically correct the advancing distance of the horizontal movement cylinder 44 through a closed-loop feedback system, and ensure that the welding path and the workpiece joint completely coincide. The visual system can also automatically identify the weld shape and dynamically adjust the welding parameters to realize intelligent welding process control.

[0059] Cooling jacket 8 adopts 120° sector structure to cover the machining area of workpiece carrier 2, and the internal circulating cooling medium can quickly absorb the welding residual heat to avoid the deformation of workpiece due to heat accumulation. The sector coverage range matches the work position conversion angle, ensuring that each carrier tool 21 can enter the cooling area for heat balance treatment after completing welding. The distribution box 7 integrates multiple electrical control modules, adopts distributed control strategy to coordinate and manage each actuator, and realizes the automatic operation of welding process through PLC programming.

[0060] Working principle:

[0061] After the device is started, the operator loads the workpieces to be welded into the workpiece slots 211 on the inner and outer sides of the carrier tool 21 of the workpiece carrier 2. When the rotating motor 11 drives the worm 12 to rotate the worm gear 231, the rotating shaft 23 rotates accurately at 90° indexing, and the carrier tool 21 enters the welding position in turn. In this process, the trigger piece 22 at the bottom of the carrier tool 21 rotates synchronously with the workpiece carrier 2, and when the trigger piece 22 passes through the alignment sensor 33 on the jacking frame 3, the sensor signal triggers the rotating motor 11 to stop, ensuring that the current carrier tool 21 is accurately parked directly below the two clamping modules 5. At this time, the jacking cylinder 31 pushes the lifting welding table 4 to stably descend along the guide sleeve 32 and the lifting guide rod 41 to form a guide system, so that the fixed-end clamping module 5 and the movable-end clamping module 5 reach the workpiece clamping position respectively.

[0062] After the rotating clamping cylinder 51 clamps the workpiece, the horizontal moving cylinder 44 drives the movable-end clamping module 5 to slide outward along the horizontal moving guide rail 45. In this process, the stop block 461 forms elastic buffering to the clamping module 5 through the pre-tightening force of the stop spring 462, and when the clamping module 5 contacts the stop block 461 and triggers the built-in pressure sensor, the horizontal moving cylinder 44 automatically stops, ensuring that the space between the two clamping modules 5 forms a safety space required for 90° rotation. At this time, the rotating cylinder 93 is started to drive the rotating control plate 9 to move downward along the directional rod 91, and the movable slot 92 exerts a vector force on the pin shaft 54 of the two clamping modules 5, forcing the rocker arm 53 to rotate 90° synchronously around the rotating shaft 52. In this process, the 135° angle formed by the rocker arm 53 and the rotating clamping cylinder 51 allows the workpiece to obtain the optimal force arm length during rotation, effectively reducing the driving energy consumption. When the rotating control plate 9 is pressed into the recess of the limiting block 42 to trigger the pressure sheet sensor 421, the horizontal moving cylinder 44 performs a micro-advance action, and cooperates with the visual positioning function of the image acquisition module 64 to realize the sub-millimeter level accurate positioning of the workpiece butt joint surface.

[0063] After the docking is completed, the mechanical arm 61 on the welding frame 6 carries the arc welding gun 62 to move along the preset trajectory, while the associated gas pipe 63 sprays protective gas to the welding area to form a stable welding environment. The image acquisition module 64 captures the weld shape in real time, dynamically adjusts the welding parameters through the closed-loop control system, ensures uniform penetration and smooth weld surface. After the front welding is completed, the clamping module 5 is started again to make the workpiece turn over 180°, and the mechanical arm 61 performs the back welding process to realize the consistency of the double-sided welding quality. The welding slag and powder generated during the welding process are collected in real time by the welding powder collection box 34 to avoid contaminating the workpiece surface.

[0064] The workpiece completed welding rotates into the 120° sector covered by the cooling sleeve 8 with the workpiece carrier 2, and the cooling medium circulates in the sleeve to quickly absorb the residual heat of the workpiece and avoid thermal deformation. At the same time, the subsequent carrier tooling 21 has rotated to the welding station to start a new round of welding cycle. The PLC control system integrated in the distribution box 7 realizes four-station continuous operation by coordinating the action timing of the rotating motor 11, the lifting cylinder 31, the horizontal moving cylinder 44 and the turning cylinder 93, which significantly improves the welding efficiency.
