[0049] Based on Example 2, Example 7 provides a more preferred structure for the oblong hole A4, specifically: the oblong hole A4 is distributed in a straight line. The straight distribution of the oblong hole A4 results in a more compact structure and greater precision when the welding carriage turns.

[0050] Example 8 like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a trolley traveling device suitable for automatic submerged arc welding of irregular steel box girders, including two clamping mechanisms respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the welding trolley.

[0055] The bottom surface of corner prism 3 is a smooth arc surface.

[0056] Based on Example 8, this embodiment 9 provides a more preferred structure for the corner post 3, specifically: the bottom surface of the corner post 3 is a smooth arc surface. The smooth arc surface can reduce its contact area with the top surface of the welding jig for the irregular steel box girder, and also facilitates sliding.

[0057] This invention includes an angle steel 1, a positioning screw 2, an angle post 3, an oblong hole A4, a washer 5, a bolt 6, an oblong hole B7, and a connecting screw 8. Seven oblong holes A4 cut into the top surface of the angle steel 1 are connected to the positioning screw 2 via washers and bolts. By adjusting the position of the bolt within the oblong holes A4, clamping and limiting welding of the top plate of steel box girders of different widths can be achieved. Additionally, three more oblong holes A4 are added on one side to facilitate switching between single-machine and dual-head welding carriages.

[0058] Before welding the irregular steel box girder, the welding trolley is fixed to the front and rear ends of the welding trolley via the elongated hole B7 on angle steel 1, thus securing the welding trolley to the clamping mechanism. Then, based on the width of the steel box girder, the distance between the two positioning screws 2 on angle steel 1 is adjusted, allowing the clamping mechanism to straddle the top plate of the irregular steel box girder. Driven by the welding trolley's wheels, the trolley moves along a predetermined track to achieve weld welding. This improves automated welding efficiency while ensuring simple and safe operation.

[0059] The walking device of this invention can achieve the welding of the top plate of irregular steel box girder without the need for traditional manual welding, thus reducing labor costs.

[0060] The walking device of the present invention does not require control of the width of the steel box girder, and the walking path can be controlled by the clamping mechanism on the irregular top plate without manual intervention.

[0061] The angle steel 1 of this invention can serve as an auxiliary support for the welding trolley. The multiple elongated holes A4 facilitate the adjustment of the spacing between the positioning screws 2 to accommodate the top plates of irregularly shaped steel box girders of different widths. By adjusting the connection elevation between the positioning screws 2 and the elongated holes A4, the height between the upper corner post 3 of the positioning screws 2 and the elongated holes A4 can be controlled, thereby enabling the welding trolley to position the welding depth.

[0062] This invention relates to a trolley traveling device suitable for automatic submerged arc welding of irregular steel box girders. During use, angle steel and positioning screws straddle the top plate of the irregular steel box girder, allowing the clamping mechanism to position the top plates of irregular steel box girders of different widths. After placing it on the top plate of the irregular steel box girder and adjusting its height, positioning welding of welds of different depths can be achieved. Automatic welding is realized under the drive of the welding trolley.

[0063] This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional steel box girder top plate automatic welding trolleys that only perform linear automatic welding. It designs a trolley travel device for automatic submerged arc welding of irregularly shaped steel box girders. By adjusting the position of the positioning screw 2 within the elongated hole A4, it achieves precise positioning and welding of the top plate width and depth. Furthermore, this invention eliminates the need for manual intervention in the welding path and manual welding itself, reducing manual welding steps, simplifying disassembly, lowering labor costs, and significantly improving its practicality.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the patent. Any modifications or refinements made to the main design concept and spirit of the present invention that are not of substantial significance, but which still solve the same technical problem as the present invention, should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
