Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, specifically to a welding fixture with back gas protection. Background Technology

[0002] In modern welding processes, gas shielding on the back side of the weld is crucial to ensuring weld quality. This is especially important when welding oxidation-sensitive metals such as stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, and titanium alloys. Back-side gas shielding effectively prevents direct contact between the high-temperature molten pool and oxygen in the air, avoiding weld oxidation failure and thus ensuring the performance of the weld joint.

[0003] Currently, common back-side gas shielding methods for welding have many shortcomings. On the one hand, many existing devices struggle to synchronize the movement of the back-side shielding gas output device with the welding head. During welding, the welding head needs to move flexibly to complete various complex welds. If the shielding gas output device cannot synchronize with this movement, certain areas of the weld will not receive effective gas protection in a timely manner, leading to quality problems such as oxidation. For example, some devices use pre-positioned shielding gas hoods around the welding area or long pipelines to deliver the shielding gas. However, when the welding head moves, the shielding gas hoods are fixed and cannot follow in real time, while long pipelines are prone to gas delivery delays or instability, severely affecting the stability of welding quality.

[0004] On the other hand, existing welding fixtures are poorly adaptable to various weldments. Different weldments vary greatly in shape, size, and structure; however, most existing back gas protection devices are often designed for specific types or sizes of weldments, lacking versatility. For example, some back gas protection fixtures used for pipe welding are only suitable for pipes of specific diameters and cannot be used for weldments of other diameters or different shapes. This necessitates frequent changes of different fixtures when facing diverse welding tasks, significantly increasing production and time costs.

[0005] Furthermore, existing shielding gas output devices have limited capabilities in controlling the flow direction of the shielding gas. The flow direction of the shielding gas plays a crucial role in accurately and efficiently covering the back of the weld. If the gas flow direction is unreasonable, uneven gas distribution may occur, with some areas having excessively high gas concentrations, resulting in waste, while other areas have insufficient gas concentrations, failing to provide adequate protection. For example, some simple shielding gas injection devices have a single gas outlet design, making it impossible to adjust the gas flow direction according to the shape of the welded workpiece and the welding process requirements. This makes it difficult to ensure that all parts of the weld receive sufficient gas protection when welding complex-shaped workpieces.

[0006] In summary, it is necessary to provide a welding fixture that can realize the synchronous movement of the device for outputting back protective gas and the welding head, adapt to various welded parts, and effectively control the flow direction of the protective gas to meet the growing welding process requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a welding fixture with back gas protection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The protective cover is located inside the welding port and moves along the length of the welding port. The motor transmits power to the reduction gearbox to drive the welding torch, drive block, connecting rod, and protective cover to move synchronously.

[0009] The top of the protective cover is slidably sealed to the bottom of the two workpieces to be welded, and the protective cover has multiple gas ports connected to a gas source.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective cover has an upward-opening air collection chamber, the length of the cross-section of the air collection chamber gradually decreases from high to low in the direction of travel, forming an inclined surface whose inner wall gradually slopes from the outside to the inside, and a filter plate is installed inside the protective cover, the two ends of the filter plate have chamfered portions, and the chamfered portions abut against the inclined surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the drive block is connected to a threaded rod, the outer wall of the threaded rod has an external thread, the connecting rod has a sleeve part and a movable part, the movable part is slidably connected to the sleeve part and is located at the bottom end of the sleeve part, the sleeve part has a connecting groove with an internal thread, and the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the sleeve part.

[0012] The end of the protective cover away from the gearbox is the front end, and a hinge seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall. The end of the movable part away from the sleeve part is hinged to the hinge seat.

The two auxiliary wheels correspond to a workpiece to be welded and roll on the upper surface of the workpiece to be welded.

[0014] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is installed around the top of the protective cover, and the sealing gasket abuts against the bottom of the workpiece to be welded. A grinding section extends rearward from the top of the protective cover, and rollers are rotatably connected to both sides of the grinding section via a rotating shaft. One of the rollers is rotatably connected to a lower slider via a shaft.

[0015] The protective cover is also provided with a front end interface, a side interface, a bottom interface and an exhaust port that communicate with the air collection chamber. The front end interface is located directly below the hinge seat. The exhaust port and the front end interface are symmetrically arranged. The bottom interface is located at the bottom of the protective cover. The side interface is located on one side of the protective cover. The front end interface, the side interface, the bottom interface and the exhaust port are all provided with plugs.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the filter plate is provided with a plurality of filter holes evenly arranged in an array, and the bottom of both sides of the filter plate in the width direction are provided with chamfered portions, which abut against the inner wall slope of the protective cover.

[0017] The bottom of the filter plate is fixedly connected to a primary guide plate and a secondary guide plate. The primary guide plate has an arc-shaped primary guide surface, and the secondary guide plate has an arc-shaped secondary guide surface.

[0018] The side interface is directly opposite the first-stage guide plate, the bottom interface is located between the first-stage and second-stage guide plates in the longitudinal direction, and the side interface is located between the first-stage and second-stage guide plates in the transverse direction.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the workbench is symmetrically provided with two tracks, which are located on both sides of the length of the welding joint. Each track has a sliding cavity, and the roller slides within the sliding cavity.

[0020] The bottom of the workbench is also provided with a bearing block. The end of the lower lead screw away from the gearbox is rotatably connected to the bearing block.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides a welding fixture with back gas protection. The fixture is equipped with a speed reducer, which controls the lower slider, the upper slider and the drive block, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the welding torch and the protective cover, and enabling the protective gas to be stably delivered to the weld.

[0025] By incorporating a threaded rod and a sleeve, the top of the protective cover can be sealed or left open with the workpiece to be welded, increasing the range of applications for the protective cover to accommodate different workpieces and enhancing its versatility.

[0026] By setting a grinding part on the protective cover, the protective cover is not in a sealed state for the workpiece to be welded. The grinding part can contact the back of the workpiece to be welded. Thus, in the case of open welding, when welding defects occur on the back of the workpiece to be welded, the grinding part can clean the defects in time by passing through the defects.

[0027] By providing front-end, side, and bottom interfaces, the number of ways in which protective gas can enter the protective cover can be increased, thereby providing gas protection for the weld from different angles.

[0028] By installing a slag filter plate, welding slag can be prevented from entering the protective cover. On the other hand, the primary and secondary guide plates can change the direction and speed of the airflow, thus providing better gas protection for the weld.

[0029] This invention solves the technical problems of existing devices, such as difficulty in achieving synchronous movement between the back protective gas output device and the welding head, lack of versatility, and limited ability of existing protective gas output devices to control the flow direction of protective gas.

The welding port 11 of the welding gun 5 is located between the two workpieces 2 to be welded and directly above the protective cover 8. The welding gun 5 is located between the gearbox 3 and the drive block 6. The bottom of the drive block 6 is connected to the connecting rod 7. One end of the connecting rod 7 is hinged to the protective cover 8. The connecting rod 7 passes through the welding port 11 and is located between the two workpieces 2 to be welded. The protective cover 8 is located inside the welding port 11 and moves along the length of the welding port 11. The motor 4 transmits power to the gearbox 3 to drive the welding gun 5, the drive block 6, the connecting rod 7 and the protective cover 8 to move synchronously.

[0049] The top of the protective cover 8 is slidably sealed to the bottom of the two workpieces 2 to be welded. The protective cover 8 has multiple gas ports connected to a gas source.

[0050] The protective cover 8 has an upward-opening air collection chamber. The length of the cross-section of the air collection chamber gradually decreases from high to low in the direction of travel, forming an inclined surface whose inner wall gradually slopes from the outside to the inside. A filter plate 9 is installed inside the protective cover 8. Both ends of the filter plate 9 have chamfered portions 94, which abut against the inclined surface. By abutting against the inclined surface, the position of the filter plate 9 within the protective cover 8 can be restricted, allowing the filter plate 9 to be quickly positioned and installed.

[0051] The bottom of the drive block 6 is connected to a threaded rod 61. The outer wall of the threaded rod 61 has an external thread 611. The connecting rod 7 has a sleeve part 71 and a movable part 72. The movable part 72 is slidably connected to the sleeve part 71 and is located at the bottom end of the sleeve part 71. A connecting groove with an internal thread is opened in the sleeve part 71. The threaded rod 61 is threadedly connected to the sleeve part 71.

[0052] The end of the protective cover 8 away from the gearbox 3 is the front end, and the outer wall is fixedly connected to the hinge seat 82. The end of the movable part 72 away from the sleeve part 71 is hinged to the hinge seat 82.

[0053] The diameter of the sleeve part 71 is larger than the diameter of the movable part 72. A connecting plate 73 is slidably connected to the movable part 72. Auxiliary wheels 74 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 73. The two auxiliary wheels 74 correspond to a workpiece 2 to be welded and roll on the upper surface of the workpiece 2 to be welded.

[0054] A sealing gasket 87 is installed around the top of the protective cover 8. The sealing gasket 87 abuts against the bottom of the workpiece 2 to be welded. A grinding part 88 extends rearward from the top of the protective cover 8. Rollers 81 are rotatably connected to both sides of the grinding part 88 via a rotating shaft. One of the rollers 81 is rotatably connected to a sliding block 33 via a shaft.

[0055] The protective cover 8 is also provided with a front end interface 83, a side interface 84, a bottom interface 85 and an exhaust port 86 that communicate with the air collection chamber. The front end interface 83 is located directly below the hinge seat 82. The exhaust port 86 and the front end interface 83 are arranged symmetrically. The bottom interface 85 is located at the bottom of the protective cover 8. The side interface 84 is located on one side of the protective cover 8. The front end interface 83, the side interface 84, the bottom interface 85 and the exhaust port 86 are all provided with plugs.

[0056] The top of the filter plate 9 is provided with a number of filter holes 91 evenly arranged, and the bottom of both sides of the filter plate 9 in the width direction are provided with chamfered parts 94, which abut against the inner wall slope of the protective cover 8.

[0057] The bottom of the filter plate 9 is fixedly connected to a primary guide plate 92 and a secondary guide plate 93. The primary guide plate 92 has an arc-shaped primary guide surface 921, and the secondary guide plate 93 has an arc-shaped secondary guide surface 931. The primary guide surface 921 and the secondary guide surface 931 are arranged facing each other, and the secondary guide plate 93 is located in the upper middle part of the primary guide plate 92.

[0058] The side interface 84 is directly opposite the first-stage guide plate 92, the bottom interface 85 is located between the first-stage guide plate 92 and the second-stage guide plate 93 in the longitudinal direction, and the side interface 84 is located between the first-stage guide plate 92 and the second-stage guide plate 93 in the transverse direction.

[0059] Two tracks 13 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the workbench 1. The tracks 13 are located on both sides of the length of the welding joint 11. The tracks 13 have sliding cavities 131, and the rollers 81 slide within the sliding cavities 131.

[0060] The bottom of the workbench 1 is also provided with a bearing block 14. The end of the lower lead screw 31 away from the gearbox 3 is rotatably connected to the bearing block 14. Lower guide posts 32 are installed on both sides of the lower lead screw 31. One end of the lower guide post 32 is fixedly connected to the gearbox 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bearing block 14.

[0061] A lower slider 33 is installed on the roller 81 near the lower lead screw 31. The lower slider 33 is connected to the lower lead screw 31 and the lower guide post 32. The rotation of the lower lead screw 31 drives the lower slider 33 to slide along the lower guide post 32, so that the roller 81 slides in the sliding cavity 131 and drives the protective cover 8 to move.

[0062] A positioning frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. The welding joint 11 is located between the gearbox 3 and the positioning frame 12. The end of the upper lead screw 34 away from the gearbox 3 is rotatably connected to the positioning frame 12. Upper guide posts 35 are installed on both sides of the upper lead screw 34. One end of the upper guide post 35 is fixedly connected to the gearbox 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 12.

[0063] An upper slider 36 is installed on one side of the welding torch 5. The upper slider 36 is connected to the upper lead screw 34 and the upper guide post 35. The rotation of the upper lead screw 34 drives the upper slider 36 to slide along the upper guide post 35, so that the welding torch 5 can move in a straight line.

[0064] In one embodiment, how does the device provide backplate gas protection for the tooling?

[0065] Specifically, place two workpieces 2 to be welded on the upper surface of the workbench 1, so that their welding position is above the welding port 11. Adjust the position of the protective cover 8 by using the drive block 6 and the lower slider 33 so that the center of the protective cover 8 is located at the center of the welding gun 5. Move the welding gun 5 to one end of the workpiece 2 to be welded, and the connecting rod 7 is located in front of the welding gun 5 in the forward direction.

[0066] Rotate the sleeve part 71, and the sleeve part 71 will fit the threaded rod 61 inside. The total length of the connecting rod 7 gradually decreases. The protective cover 8 uses the roller 81 as an axis to make its upper surface gradually approach the workpiece 2 to be welded. When the sealing gasket 87 is in contact with the lower surface of the workpiece 2 to be welded, the protective cover 8 is in a horizontal position. At this time, stop rotating the sleeve part 71.

[0067] Remove the plugs from the front end interface 83 and the exhaust port 86, and connect the pipe of the protective gas release device to the front end interface 83. Discharge the gas into the gas collection chamber of the protective cover 8, and discharge the air from the exhaust port 86. At this time, the protective gas fills the protective cover 8 and contacts the back of the workpiece 2 to be welded.

[0068] Turn on the welding torch 5 to weld the workpiece 2, then turn on the motor 4. The lower lead screw 31 and the upper lead screw 34 rotate through the gearbox. The upper slider 36 drives the welding torch 5 to move linearly. The drive block 6 drives the protective cover 8 to move through the connecting rod 7. The lower slider 33 also drives the protective cover 8 to move through the rotation of the lower lead screw 31, improving the stability of the movement of the protective cover 8. The roller 81 slides in the sliding cavity 131. The slag filter plate 9 receives the welding slag that falls off during welding. The auxiliary wheel 74 rolls on the upper surface of the workpiece 2 to be welded.

[0069] The welding torch 5 completes the welding of the workpiece 2 until the drive block 6 reaches the positioning frame 12.

[0070] When grinding is required again at the welding point of the workpiece 2 to be welded according to the processing technology, the speed reducer 3 can be controlled so that the lower screw 31 does not rotate, and the threaded rod 61 is separated from the connecting rod 7, so that the welding gun 5 can move back and forth at the welding point of the workpiece 2 to be welded for welding.

[0071] In another embodiment, gas protection can also be carried out in a variety of different ways.

[0072] Specifically, referring to the above embodiments, some workpieces 2 do not need to be sealed and welded. Before starting the welding gun 5, rotate the sleeve part 71 so that the protective cover 8 gradually moves away from the workpiece 2 with the roller 81 as the axis. Then the sealing gasket 87 does not contact the workpiece 2, and at the same time, one end with the grinding part 88 is raised and contacts the back of the workpiece 2.

[0073] Welding begins at this point. Shielding gas is discharged from the opening of the shield 8 into the workpiece 2 to be welded. Since it is an open shield, there is a certain probability that defects will appear at the weld. At this time, when the grinding part 88 moves synchronously with the welding gun 5, it can grind the weld of the workpiece 2 to be welded and deal with the defects in time.

[0074] Plug the front end interface 83 with a plug, open the plug of the bottom end interface 85, and then connect the bottom end interface 85 to the protective gas device. At this time, the protective gas is directly sprayed from the bottom end interface 85 to the welding area of ​​the workpiece 2 to be welded, so that the flow of the protective gas is in a high flow state.

[0075] Plug the bottom interface 85 with a plug, open the plug of the side interface 84, and then connect the side interface 84 to the protective gas device. At this time, the protective gas is sprayed out from the side interface 84. The protective gas first contacts the first-stage guide plate 92. The gas is transferred to the second-stage guide plate 93 along the first-stage guide surface 921. The gas is then transported upward along the second-stage guide surface 931 to the welding point of the workpiece 2 to be welded, so that the airflow of the protective gas is slowed down.

[0076] When the protective gas is input using the bottom port 85 and the side port 84, it is applicable for both sealed and open protection.

[0077] In summary, this fixture, by incorporating a reduction gearbox 3, controls the lower slider 33, upper slider 36, and drive block 6, achieving synchronous movement of the welding torch 5 and the protective cover 8, ensuring stable delivery of shielding gas to the weld. The threaded rod 61 and sleeve 71 allow the top of the protective cover 8 to be sealed or open with the workpiece 2 to be welded, increasing its versatility and adaptability to different workpieces. Furthermore, the grinding section 88 on the protective cover 8 allows it to be in a non-sealed state with the workpiece 2, enabling it to interact with the workpiece. The back of the workpiece 2 is in contact, so that in open welding, when welding defects occur on the back of the workpiece 2, the grinding part 88 can promptly clean the defects by passing over them. The front interface 83, side interface 84, and bottom interface 85 increase the ways in which protective gas enters the protective cover 8, thus providing gas protection for the weld from different angles. The slag filter plate 9 prevents welding slag from entering the protective cover 8, and the primary guide plate 92 and secondary guide plate 93 change the direction and velocity of the airflow, providing better gas protection for the weld. This solves the technical problems of existing devices, such as difficulty in achieving synchronous movement between the back protective gas output device and the welding head, lack of versatility, and limited ability to control the flow direction of the protective gas.

[0078] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
