[0019] Figure 5 Flowchart for intelligent welding of narrow gap welds using tungsten electrode adaptive oscillation GTAW. Detailed Implementation

[0020] In order to better express the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and implementation cases. The implementation method of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0021] Step one: tungsten electrode swing amplitude control

[0022] In the process of intelligent welding of tungsten electrode self-adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld, the swing amplitude of the tungsten electrode needs to be controlled to accurately control the heat source, so that the side wall is better fused. The present application discloses a tungsten electrode self-adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld intelligent welding tungsten electrode swing amplitude control method. Before welding, the welding torch moves forward, Figure 3 The structured light vision sensor in the above scans the weld and detects the groove width D0. Figure 3 The two electromagnet sliders in the above move towards or away from each other on the electromagnet rotating slide rail, and the distance between the two electromagnet sliders is adjusted to D1. The tungsten electrode reciprocates between the two transverse magnetic field electromagnets under the traction of the armature, so as to control the tungsten electrode swing amplitude at D1, D0>D1. In the welding process, the structured light vision sensor detects D0 in real time, and when D0 changes, Figure 1 The control cabinet in the above controls the movement of the transverse magnetic field electromagnet in real time to adjust D1.

[0023] Step two: gas shield opening size control

[0024] In the process of intelligent welding of tungsten electrode self-adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld, the opening size of the gas shield needs to be controlled to avoid collision with the tungsten electrode and the side wall while the adaptive tungsten electrode swing amplitude is controlled. The present application discloses a tungsten electrode self-adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld intelligent welding gas shield opening size adaptive control method, Figure 3 The ceramic gas guide plate umbrella and metal gas guide plate umbrella in the above move downward at the same time, so that Figure 4 The eight gas guide plates in the above contract towards the welding torch axis to reach the minimum opening of the gas shield. The structured light vision sensor detects the weld trajectory in front of the welding direction, and the welding torch moves to above the weld to make the gas shield part extend into the narrow gap weld. After the structured light vision sensor detects the groove width D0, the ceramic gas guide plate umbrella and the metal gas guide plate umbrella move upward at the same time to expand the eight gas guide plates, so as to control the gas shield diameter at D2, D0>D2>D1. Then the metal gas guide plate umbrella is controlled to move downward to make the high-temperature spring metal gas guide plate contract to cover the edges of the two ceramic gas guide plates. The cooperation of the gas guide plates when forming the gas shield is shown in Figure 4 The deformation of the high-temperature spring metal gas guide plate is detected by the resistance strain gauge, and the contraction is stopped when the deformation is ε, so that the gas shield reaches good airtightness and does not collide with the tungsten electrode and the side wall. In the welding process, the structured light vision sensor detects D0 in real time, and when D0 changes, the control cabinet controls the movement of the ceramic gas guide plate umbrella and the metal gas guide plate umbrella in real time to adjust D2.

[0025] Step three: tungsten electrode swing direction control

[0026] In the process of intelligent welding of tungsten electrode adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld, the swing direction of the tungsten electrode needs to be controlled to adapt to the weld track, the present application discloses a tungsten electrode adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld intelligent welding tungsten electrode swing direction control method, in the welding process, the structured light vision sensor detects the weld track in front of the weld in real time, when the welding torch moves to the corresponding position of the weld, Figure 3 The electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail rotates to make the direction of the electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail perpendicular to the weld track, the tungsten electrode is dragged by the armature to swing in the direction of the electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail, so the swing direction of the tungsten electrode is also perpendicular to the weld track. The structured light vision sensor is installed outside the electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail and perpendicular to the direction of the electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail, as shown in Figure 2 When entering the broken line weld in Figure 1 , the structured light vision sensor and the swing direction of the tungsten electrode are turned synchronously with the electromagnetic iron rotating slide rail, so the structured light vision sensor can scan the weld all the time to detect the weld track and the groove width D0 in front of the weld, and the swing direction of the tungsten electrode can be perpendicular to the weld track all the time.

[0027] Step four: tungsten electrode height control

[0028] In the process of intelligent welding of tungsten electrode adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld, the height of the tungsten electrode needs to be controlled to control the constant arc length and the weld slope of the workpiece under actual working conditions, the present application discloses a tungsten electrode adaptive swing GTAW narrow gap weld intelligent welding tungsten electrode height adaptive control method, after the welding torch is successfully ignited, the Hall voltage sensor detects the arc voltage U between the tungsten electrode and the workpiece in real time, Figure 3 The retractable rod in the tungsten electrode retractable clamping mechanism is elongated or shortened to make the tungsten electrode clamping slide rail rise or lower, and the height of the tungsten electrode is increased or decreased, so that the arc voltage U is controlled at U0 corresponding to the set arc length L. During the welding process, when U≤U0, the retractable rod in the tungsten electrode retractable clamping mechanism is elongated, the tungsten electrode clamping slide rail is raised to make the tungsten electrode clamping slide block rise, the height of the tungsten electrode is increased, and the arc length is stabilized at L; when U≥U0, the retractable rod in the tungsten electrode retractable clamping mechanism is shortened, the tungsten electrode clamping slide rail is lowered to make the tungsten electrode clamping slide block lower, the height of the tungsten electrode is lowered, and the arc length is stabilized at L, realizing the adaptive control of the height of the tungsten electrode.
