Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of welding devices, in particular to a metal guardrail arc welding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of metal guardrail manufacturing, the connection welding of the cross pipe and the elbow mainly relies on automatic / semi-automatic arc welding equipment. However, with the increasing requirements for welding strength, crack resistance and production efficiency of outdoor use of guardrails, the existing equipment has obvious technical pain points.

[0003] Firstly, there is a significant deficiency in the positioning accuracy of the workpiece. The existing equipment relies on manual calibration or simple positioning mechanism for the alignment of the cross pipe and the elbow. Manual calibration relies on the experience of the operator, and is prone to misalignment due to operation deviation. Even if the positioning mechanism driven by a threaded rod is equipped, it also lacks real-time detection and dynamic correction mechanism, and cannot adjust the movement trajectory according to the actual relative position of the cross pipe and the elbow, which eventually leads to welding reference deviation, resulting in defects such as welding deviation and virtual welding, and greatly increasing the scrap rate.

[0004] Secondly, the adaptability of the arc-shaped welding seam and the quality of the welding bead cannot be guaranteed. The connection welding seam of the cross pipe and the elbow is arc-shaped structure, while the existing arc welding equipment is designed based on straight-line welding track, and the welding gun angle needs to be adjusted frequently during welding to adapt to the arc-shaped track. Not only is the operation cumbersome, but also the welding breakpoints are prone to occur during the adjustment gap, which easily forms stress concentration at the breakpoints, leading to cracking of the welding seam during outdoor use of the guardrail. At the same time, the welding track of the existing equipment has fixed curvature, which cannot adapt to the arc-shaped welding seam of different specifications of the guardrail, has poor universality, and is difficult to stably form special welding beads (such as fish scale pattern welding bead) that can improve the strength of the welding seam, which cannot meet the use requirements of the guardrail for long-term wind load and fatigue resistance. Finally, the welding, fluxing and polishing processes are fragmented, and the production efficiency is low. The existing equipment relies on manual brushing for flux supply (low efficiency and uneven coating, affecting arc fusion effect), or uses fixed nozzles for spraying but lacks stirring mechanism, and the flux is prone to sedimentation and stratification after standing, affecting the use effect. The post-welding burr cleaning needs to transfer the workpiece from the welding station to the special polishing station, which not only increases the production time, but also increases the polishing difficulty due to the increased hardness of the cooled burr, and even may scratch the surface of the guardrail, further prolonging the processing cycle. Therefore, we propose a metal guardrail arc welding device. SUMMARY

[0042] The working principle is that when in use, the guardrail elbow is placed inside the second electric clamp 6 between the two sets of welding mechanisms 7, and the vertical part of the elbow is fixed through the clamping action of the second electric clamp 6; then the horizontal transverse pipe is placed inside the first electric clamp 35 at the upper end of the two moving blocks 34, and the preliminary fixation of the transverse pipe is realized through the clamping action of the first electric clamp 35 at the upper end, and then the accurate alignment and calibration of the transverse pipe and the elbow are carried out: first, the first electric clamp 35 at the lower end of the moving block 34 is started to tightly clamp the inside of the threaded rod 32, forming a transmission connection; then the first motor 33 on one side of the limiting frame 31 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 33 drives the threaded rod 32 to rotate, and through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 32 and the first electric clamp 35 at the lower end, the moving block 34 is driven to slide horizontally along the inside of the limiting frame 31, and then the transverse pipe is driven to move synchronously; in this process, the two infrared sensors 5 at the upper end of the limiting frame 31 detect the relative position of the two ends of the transverse pipe and the elbow interface in real time, and the start and stop of the first motor 33 are controlled through the feedback signal until the two ends of the transverse pipe are accurately aligned with the connecting part of the elbow; Next, the positioning assembly 71 of the welding mechanism 7 is started to realize the surrounding of the welding track: the first electric telescopic rod 711 inside the support frame 4 is started, the output shaft of the first electric telescopic rod 711 pushes the fixed frame 712 to move horizontally towards the welding seam until the positioning assembly 71 reaches the preset working position; the second motor 713 at the lower end of the fixed frame 712 is started, the output shaft of the second motor 713 drives the first bevel gear 714 to rotate, the first bevel gear 714 is engaged with the two second bevel gears 715 to rotate in opposite directions, and then the two first spur gears 716 are driven to rotate synchronously through the second bevel gears 715;

Afterwards, the movement of the welding head along the track of the weld is realized by the movement of the moving frame 7111: the second electric telescopic rod 7113 on one side of the moving frame 7111 is started, the output shaft of which pushes the second spur gear 7112 to move in the direction of the arc-shaped rack 717 until the second spur gear 7112 is completely engaged with one set of arc-shaped racks 717;

the moving rotating shaft 726 transmits the swing to the offset rotating shaft 728 through the connecting rods 727 at both ends, so that the offset rotating shaft 728 is synchronously reciprocated under the limit of the connecting frame 729; on the basis of the movement of the moving frame 7111 along the arc-shaped track, the offset rotating shaft 728 drives the welding head to make synchronous reciprocating swing, so that the movement track of the welding head is in a wave shape, thereby forming a fish-scale weld on the surface of the weld;

the fourth spur gear 7212 cooperates with the middle-shaped section of the drain pipe 7213 to drive the drain pipe 7213 to rotate synchronously, and then drives the stirring rod 7216 in the liquid storage tank 7215 to rotate through the feed pipe 7214, so as to continuously stir the flux in the liquid storage tank 7215 to prevent precipitation; the flux enters the drain pipe 7214 through the feed pipe 7214, and is accurately sprayed to the weld area through the electromagnetic valve spray head 7217 at the lower end under the control of the electromagnetic valve; the third electric telescopic rod 7220 outside the liquid storage tank 7215 is started, the output shaft of the third electric telescopic rod 7220 drives the connecting plate 7219 to move downward, drives the flexible polishing cylinder 7218 to synchronously approach and adhere to the weld surface with the electromagnetic valve spray head 7217, the flexible polishing cylinder 7218 synchronously cleans the welding burrs outside the weld with the welding progress, and at the same time, the flux sprayed by the electromagnetic valve spray head 7217 flushes and removes the impurities generated in the cleaning, further improving the welding quality.
