Description

[0001] The application is a divisional application of patent application number 2022113235828, entitled "Inertial friction welding large length-diameter ratio shaft / tube type component clamping precision control method". TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The application relates to the technical field of solid-phase welding, and particularly relates to a welding piece control system for inertial friction welding. BACKGROUND

[0003] As an important branch of friction welding, the core principle of inertial friction welding is to use the inertial kinetic energy stored in the flywheel to generate heat through the relative friction between the workpieces, so that the metal on the contact surface reaches a plastic state, and then the inertial pressure is used to complete the solid-state connection process of forging and welding. Inertial friction welding is a high-efficiency and high-quality solid-state welding technology, and its energy source is the rotational inertia of the flywheel. During the welding process, the torque and rotational speed gradually decrease with the consumption of inertia, and it belongs to the "energy controllable" welding technology. At present, inertial friction welding is widely used in the fields of machine manufacturing, petroleum and chemical industry, automobile manufacturing, light industry and textile industry, etc. In the inertial friction welding process, the pre-welding clamping precision of the workpieces to be welded has a significant impact on the welding quality: if the coaxiality of the two workpieces to be welded after clamping is poor, it will not only affect the precision of the welded joint and cause welding misalignment, but also cause uneven friction heat at the welding interface, thereby reducing the joint strength. At the same time, in the fields of large-scale mechanical equipment and petroleum and chemical industry, a large number of pipe / tube parts with large length-diameter ratio are used. After the pipe / tube parts with large length-diameter ratio are clamped by the inertial friction welding tooling, firstly, due to the large length of the pipe / tube parts, and secondly, due to the machining precision error of the welding tooling, long-term use causes tooling wear or deformation, etc., the pipe / tube parts exhibit the problem of large radial runout after clamping. Especially due to the limitations of the structure or clamping method of the inertial friction welding equipment, the length of the clamped cantilever is increased, causing the radial runout at the welding interface to increase by multiple, further affecting the welding quality and connection strength of the welded joint (i.e. poor welding quality and low connection strength, which cannot meet the needs of mechanical equipment or petroleum and chemical industry). In addition, due to the process characteristics of inertial friction welding (i.e. the workpiece to be welded on the moving slide does not rotate, but only relies on the rotational friction heat generated by the inertial kinetic energy stored in the flywheel), it is difficult to use a dial gauge or other measuring tools to measure the radial runout value of the clamped workpiece to be welded, further affecting the welding precision and strength of the workpiece to be welded. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application aims to provide a welding piece control system for inertia friction welding, which can effectively solve the problem that it is difficult for workers to test the radial run-out value of the welding workpiece during the inertia friction welding process of a large-length-diameter-ratio pipe / axle component, thereby avoiding problems such as poor coaxiality of the workpiece after welding, uneven weld structure performance, poor welding quality, poor welding piece connection strength and the like caused by large radial run-out of the welding piece during the welding process, and ensuring the welding precision and quality of the large-length-diameter-ratio pipe / axle component.

[0005] The object of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions. A welding piece control system for inertia friction welding is achieved by the following steps: Step 1: uniformly pre-installing a plurality of hydraulic cylinders on a moving slide table of an inertia friction welding device for adjusting and controlling the radial run-out value of a workpiece to be welded; Step 2: after a large-length-diameter-ratio pipe / axle component is loaded into a welding tool, pre-clamping is performed; Step 3: a seat body of a laser range finder is fixedly installed on the inertia friction welding device, and the emission end of the laser range finder is located on the upper side of the outer circular surface of the welding interface of the large-length-diameter-ratio pipe / axle component, and the emission end (receiving end) of the laser range finder is perpendicular to the pipe / axle component, for measuring the distance from the laser range finder to the surface of the large-length-diameter-ratio pipe / axle component; Step 4: presetting the laser range finder data collection time interval Δt , collecting data of the laser range finder once every Δt interval, and adjusting the pressure value of the plurality of hydraulic cylinders in real time according to a hydraulic cylinder control algorithm; Step 5: after the pipe / axle component installed in the welding tool is in a reasonable radial run-out range, the inertia friction welding device automatically completes automatic welding of the workpiece to be welded.

[0006] For further optimization, the number of hydraulic cylinders in Step 1 is 3-6; and the pressure range of the hydraulic cylinders is 5-50 kN.

[0010] Then, the maximum value of the distance between the laser range finder and the outer surface of the pipe / axle member at all recorded moments is obtained L max and the minimum value L min The distance range at all moments is obtained ΔL 2:

[0011] The preset radial run-out threshold value: if the difference ΔL 1 is within the run-out threshold value and the distance range ΔL 2 is within the run-out threshold value, the hydraulic cylinder of the laser range finder is not adjusted; if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance range ΔL 2 at the current moment is outside the run-out threshold value, the hydraulic cylinder pressure value is adjusted to realize the control of the corresponding radial run-out.

[0012] Preferably, the run-out threshold value is 0.08-0.35 mm.

[0013] For further optimization, the hydraulic cylinder pressure value adjustment specifically includes: first, the pressure value applied by the hydraulic cylinder at the previous moment Δt intervening one moment from the current moment is obtained and the pressure value applied at the previous moment Δt intervening two moments from the current moment is obtained The pressure change value at the previous moment is obtained ΔN :

[0014] If , it indicates that the pressure value of the hydraulic cylinder is increased at the previous moment: if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance range ΔL 2 at the current moment is less than the run-out threshold value range, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder of the laser range finder is reduced by one unit of pressure value; if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance range ΔL 2 at the current moment is greater than the run-out threshold value range, since the pressure value of the hydraulic cylinder is increased at the previous moment, considering the adjustment hysteresis, the hydraulic cylinder does not adjust at this moment, and the difference ΔL 1 or the distance range ΔL 2 at the next moment is determined in relation to the run-out threshold value. If , indicates that the pressure value of the hydraulic cylinder is reduced at the previous moment: if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance difference ΔL 2 is less than the fluctuation threshold range at the current moment, the hydraulic cylinder does not adjust at this moment due to the reduction of the pressure value of the hydraulic cylinder at the previous moment, and the difference ΔL 1 or the distance difference ΔL 2 at the next moment is judged in relation to the fluctuation threshold; if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance difference ΔL 2 at the current moment is greater than the fluctuation threshold range, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder of the laser range finder increases by one unit of pressure value; If , indicates that the pressure value of the hydraulic cylinder is not adjusted at the previous moment: if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance difference ΔL 2 at the current moment is less than the fluctuation threshold range, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder of the laser range finder decreases by one unit of pressure value; if the difference ΔL 1 or the distance difference ΔL 2 at the current moment is greater than the fluctuation threshold range, the corresponding hydraulic cylinder of the laser range finder increases by one unit of pressure value.
