Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a ring main unit, specifically to a ring main unit welding system capable of simultaneously welding the inner and outer sides of the cabinet side panel joints. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of power transmission and distribution, ring main units (RNBs) are mainly used to control internal switches, fuses, and other devices. When an electric arc or overcurrent short circuit occurs, the internal insulating gas can extinguish the arc, thus ensuring the stable operation of the power system. During the manufacturing process of RNBs, the front, rear, left, and right side plates are typically welded together to form the various parts or the overall structure of the RNB. For example, patent application CN118218838A discloses a dual-station welding device for RNB gas boxes, specifically including a first station. The upper end of the first station is equipped with a placement mechanism and a support plate for placing steel plates. The bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to the first station. The upper end of the first station is equipped with a self-cleaning full weld inspection mechanism for detecting welding quality. While this technical solution allows for dual-station welding of RNBs, the welding positions are all on the outside of the cabinet, preventing simultaneous welding of the inside and outside of the weld seam. This can easily generate stress and affect the welding quality. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the ring main unit welding system of the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention sets up a transverse side plate loading unit, a longitudinal side plate loading unit, and a side plate seam welding unit. The transverse side plate loading unit is equipped with a base, and a transverse belt conveyor is mounted on the base. Multiple clamping devices are fixed on the belt conveyor, and these clamping devices are spaced apart transversely and symmetrically distributed longitudinally. The clamping devices are used to clamp and fix the transverse side plates. The longitudinal side plate loading unit is equipped with two adsorption devices, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor.

[0028] First, it should be noted that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, and back used in this invention are merely descriptions based on the accompanying drawings for ease of understanding, and are not intended to limit the technical solution or the scope of protection claimed in this invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 12The embodiment of the ring main unit welding system of the present invention shown includes a transverse side plate loading unit, a longitudinal side plate loading unit, and a side plate seam welding unit. The transverse side plate loading unit is equipped with a base 1, on which a transverse belt conveyor 2 is mounted. Multiple clamping devices 3 are fixed on the belt conveyor 2, and are spaced apart transversely and symmetrically distributed longitudinally. The clamping devices 3 are used to clamp and fix the transverse side plates, i.e., the transverse side plates are clamped and fixed by the symmetrically distributed clamping devices 3. The longitudinal side plate loading unit is equipped with two adsorption devices 4, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor 2. Each adsorption device 4 is equipped with a support platform 41 and a plate 42 mounted on the support platform 41 via a rotating mechanism. A cylinder 43 is fixed on the plate 42, and a transition plate 44 that slides with the plate 42 is fixed on the piston rod of the cylinder 43. A vacuum suction cup 45 is fixed on the side of the transition plate 44 away from the cylinder 43, and the vacuum suction cup 45 is used to adsorb and fix the longitudinal side plates. The side panel seam welding unit is set on the support plate 5 above the belt conveyor 2. Two frames 6 that are symmetrically distributed in the longitudinal direction and can be raised and lowered are installed on the support plate 5. The frames 6 are set on two gantry frames 61 that are symmetrically distributed in the transverse direction. The tops of the two gantry frames 61 are fixedly connected by crossbeams 62. A raised and lowerable outer welding device 7 and an inner welding device 8 are installed on the two vertical bars of the gantry frames 61 respectively. The outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8 are at the same height and are raised and lowered synchronously.

[0030] The above setup constitutes a simple, easy-to-operate, safe, reliable, and highly practical ring main unit welding system. In practical applications, firstly, two transverse side plates 100 are fixed at intervals to the belt conveyor 2 using clamping devices 3, and then the belt conveyor 2 moves the two transverse side plates 100 to a position between two adsorption devices 4; then, the two adsorption devices 4 each adsorb a longitudinal side plate 200 using vacuum suction cups 45, and the longitudinal side plate 200 is moved to a position where it is spliced ​​with the transverse side plates 100 using a rotating mechanism and cylinder 43; next, the two frames 6 are lowered to a set position, wherein four gantry frames 61 (two frames, each...) The two gantry frames (61 and 62) correspond one-to-one with the four side panel splicing points. The two vertical rods of the gantry frame 61 are located on the inner and outer sides of the longitudinal side panel 200. Then, the outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8 are started and moved synchronously from top to bottom to weld the inner and outer seams of each side panel splicing point. After welding is completed, the outer welding device 7, the inner welding device 8 and the frame 6 are reset, the adsorption device 4 is detached from the longitudinal side panel 200, and the welded cabinet is moved away from the welding station by the belt conveyor. Then, the clamping device 4 can be released and the cabinet can be taken away. This invention improves the ease of loading the transverse side plate 100 by equipping the transverse side plate loading unit with a belt conveyor 2 and a clamping device 3, and improves the ease of loading the longitudinal side plate 200 by equipping the longitudinal side plate loading unit with a rotating mechanism, a cylinder 43 and a vacuum suction cup 45. By equipping the side plate seam welding unit with a gantry frame 61, an outer welding device 7 and an inner welding device 8, and by placing the outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8 at the same height and lifting them synchronously, stress between the side plates during welding can be effectively avoided, thereby improving welding quality and welding efficiency. It should be noted that, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the structure and operation, the base 1 is usually fixed on the ground, and the support platform 41 and the bracket plate 5 are also fixed on the ground by multiple columns. In order to improve production efficiency and ensure the continuity of the process, the side plate loading, seam welding and cabinet retrieval are usually carried out in sequence. The area between the two clamping devices 4 of the belt conveyor 2 is the welding station, the area in front of the belt conveyor 2 of the welding station is the transverse side plate loading station, the area behind the belt conveyor 2 of the welding station is the cabinet retrieval station, and the area where the two adsorption devices 4 are opposite to the belt conveyor 2 is the longitudinal side plate loading station.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the present invention employs the following structure for the belt conveyor 2: two side beams 21 are fixed at intervals on the base 1, conveyor rollers 22 are installed at intervals between the two side beams 21, and a conveyor belt 23 is fitted around the outside of all the conveyor rollers 22. The outermost conveyor roller 22 is connected to a first servo motor 24, and the first servo motor 24 is fixed on the side beam 21. This belt conveyor 2 features a simple structure, convenient control, and stable operation. In a specific embodiment, the present invention employs the following configuration for the clamping device 3: a support block 31 is fixed on the conveyor belt 23, a positioning member 32 is fixed on the support block 31, two convex clamping members 33 are installed in the positioning member 32 through a T-slot, screw rods 34 are threaded onto both ends of the positioning member 32, the inner end of the screw rod 34 is rotatably connected to the corresponding clamping member 33, a rotating operating head 341 is fixed to the outer end of the screw rod 34, and a scale line 35 is provided on one side of the T-slot of the positioning member 32. The clamping device 3 in this configuration features a simple structure, convenient adjustment, and stable clamping. By rotating the operating head 341 to move the clamping members 33 in opposite directions, the distance between them can be increased to accommodate the transverse side plate. By rotating the operating head 341 to move the clamping members 33 in opposite directions, the distance between them can be decreased to clamp the transverse side plate. By using two or more symmetrically distributed clamping devices 3 to clamp and fix the transverse side plate, it is possible to effectively prevent the transverse side plate from shaking during transportation and welding, thus ensuring welding accuracy and reliability. By setting the scale line 35, the clamping and fixing position of the transverse side plate can be precisely controlled to adapt to different transverse side plate thicknesses, thereby enhancing welding accuracy and reliability.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the rotating mechanism of the present invention is configured as follows: a second servo motor 46 is fixed on a support platform 41, and a rotating shaft 47 is mounted on it via bearings. A drive gear 461 is fixed on the output shaft of the second servo motor 46, and a driven gear 471 meshing with the drive gear 461 is fixed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 47. The platform 42 is fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 47. This rotating mechanism features a simple structure, stable support, and smooth operation. The second servo motor 46 and gear transmission can drive the rotating shaft 47 and the platform 42 to rotate, thereby causing the cylinder 43 and the vacuum suction cup 45 to reverse direction, facilitating the movement of the longitudinal side plate from the loading station to the welding station. As a specific structure for the sliding engagement between the adapter plate 44 and the platform 42, the present invention provides a groove 421 on the platform 42, and a slider 48 that slides within the groove 421 is provided for sliding engagement with it. The adapter plate 44 is fixed to the slider 48. This configuration features a simple structure, easy processing, and smooth operation. In practical applications, to facilitate disassembly and assembly, the present invention typically uses multiple mounting bolts to fix the cylinder 43 to the platform 42.

[0033] In a specific implementation, to enable the outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8 to rise and fall synchronously, the present invention provides a first guide groove and a second guide groove on the inner sidewalls of the two vertical rods of the gantry frame 61. A first lead screw 63 and a second lead screw 64 are installed in the first guide groove and the second guide groove respectively through bearings. The first lead screw 63 is threaded with a first nut 631 that slides in cooperation with the first guide groove. The upper end of the first lead screw 63 extends from the top of the gantry frame 61 and is fixed with a first synchronous pulley 632. The second lead screw 64 is threaded with a second nut 641 that slides in cooperation with the second guide groove. The upper end of the second lead screw 64 extends from the top of the gantry frame 61 and is fixed with a second synchronous pulley 642. A synchronous belt 65 is sleeved between the second synchronous pulley 642 and the first synchronous pulley 632. A third servo motor 66 is fixed on the upper side of the second synchronous pulley 642 and connected to the second lead screw 64. This setup features a compact structure, smooth operation, and good synchronization. The third servo motor 66 drives the second synchronous pulley 642 and the second lead screw 64 to rotate. Under the transmission action of the second synchronous pulley 642, the synchronous belt 65, and the first synchronous pulley 632, the first lead screw 63 rotates synchronously with the second lead screw 64, driving the second nut 641 and the first nut 631 to slide synchronously along their respective guide grooves. Initially, the second nut 641 and the first nut 631 are set at the same height, and the outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8 are correspondingly fixed to the first nut 631 and the second nut 641, thus achieving synchronous lifting and lowering of the outer welding device 7 and the inner welding device 8.

[0034] In a specific embodiment, the present invention employs the following structure for the external welding device 7: an external support plate 71 is fixed to a first nut 631; an external support 72 is mounted on the external support plate 71 via a first elongated hole 711 facing the internal welding device 8 and a matching fixing bolt; an external laser welding head 73 is fixed to the external support 72; and an external fan 74 is fixed to the external support plate 71. The input end of the external fan 74 is connected to an external suction pipe 741 located above the external laser welding head 73 and facing the external weld seam; the output end of the external fan 74 is connected to an external exhaust pipe 742 located below the external laser welding head 73 and facing the external weld seam. The external welding device 7 features a simple structure, strong adaptability, and good welding effect. By setting the first elongated hole 711, the positions of the external support 72 and the external laser welding head 73 can be easily and quickly adjusted to adapt to different thicknesses of the longitudinal side plates, thus improving welding accuracy. By setting the external fan 74, air is drawn in during welding, and the heat from the weld is drawn into the external fan 74 through the external suction pipe 741. The hot air is then blown to the unwelded weld area through the external air outlet pipe 742. This allows the weld to cool down quickly after welding, improving welding quality. On the other hand, it allows the heat generated by welding to be transferred to the weld position before welding for preheating, reducing the temperature difference between the welded workpieces, reducing welding stress, and helping to avoid welding cracks. Similarly, the present invention employs the following structure for the inner welding device 8: an inner support plate 81 is fixed on a second nut 641; an inclined second elongated hole 811 is provided on the inner support plate 81; an inner support 82 is installed through the second elongated hole 811 and matching connecting bolts; an inner laser welding head 83 is fixed on the inner support 82; and an inner fan 84 is fixed on the inner support plate 81. The input end of the inner fan 84 is connected to an inner suction pipe 841 located above the inner laser welding head 83 and facing the inner weld seam; the output end of the inner fan 84 is connected to an inner exhaust pipe 842 located below the inner laser welding head 83 and facing the inner weld seam. The internal welding device 8 in this configuration also features a simple structure, strong adaptability, and good welding effect. By setting an inclined second elongated hole 811, the internal laser welding head 83 can be aligned with the inner weld seam, improving welding accuracy. By setting an internal fan 84, air is drawn in during welding, and the heat from the weld seam after welding is drawn into the internal fan 84 through the internal suction pipe 841, and the hot air is blown to the unwelded weld seam through the internal exhaust pipe 842. On the one hand, the weld seam after welding can be cooled down quickly, improving welding quality. On the other hand, the heat generated by welding can be transferred to the weld seam position before welding for preheating, reducing the temperature difference between the welded workpieces and reducing welding stress, which helps to avoid welding cracks.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, to ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the frame 6, guide strips 611 are respectively provided on the outer sides of the two vertical rods of the gantry 61. A square hole 51 is provided on the support plate 5 through which the gantry 61 passes, and a limiting groove that slides with the guide strip 611 is provided on the side wall of the square hole 51. As a specific structure for driving the frame 6 to lift and lower, a lifting rack 67 is fixed in the middle of the crossbeam 62. A through hole is provided on the support plate 5 at a position corresponding to the lifting rack 67. A fourth servo motor 68 is mounted on the support plate 5 through a motor adapter, and a drive gear 69 that meshes with the lifting rack 67 is mounted on the output shaft of the fourth servo motor 68.

[0036] Practical application has shown that the ring main unit welding system provided by this invention can produce the following beneficial effects: 1. Through the synchronous operation of the external welding device and the internal welding device, the splicing joints of the two transverse side plates (front side plate and rear side plate) and the two longitudinal side plates (left side plate and right side plate) of the ring main unit can be welded simultaneously from the inside and outside, eliminating the stress between them and improving the welding quality. In addition, during the welding process, the internal and external fans and the corresponding air inlet and outlet pipes are used to make the heat at the weld seam after welding dissipate quickly, so that the weld seam is preheated before welding, reducing the temperature difference between the welded workpieces in the welding area. On the one hand, the welding stress is reduced, and on the other hand, the welding strain rate is reduced, which helps to avoid the generation of welding cracks. 2. The transverse side plate loading unit can quickly move two transverse side plates (front and rear side plates) to the welding station, and the longitudinal side plate loading unit can quickly move two longitudinal side plates (left and right side plates) to the welding station and position them between the two transverse side plates, improving loading accuracy and efficiency. The four welds are simultaneously welded by four sets of external and internal welding devices, further eliminating stress and further improving welding quality and efficiency.
