Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic press frame welding technology, specifically a welding method for a stable frame of a hydraulic press. Background Technology
[0002] As the core load-bearing structure, the welding quality of the hydraulic press frame directly affects the dimensional accuracy, structural rigidity, and fatigue life of the entire machine. Currently, for the welding of large hydraulic press frames, the industry generally adopts processes such as preheating before welding, sequential welding, and post-weld heat treatment, and uses special welding equipment to control welding deformation and residual stress. However, existing welding methods still have limitations in terms of process parameter control, clamping system adaptability, and real-time stress regulation, making it difficult to fully meet the requirements of mass production of high-precision, high-load frames.
[0003] An existing welding equipment for processing the frame of a large hydraulic press, with application number CN202310254893.1, although capable of automatic transfer and welding of workpieces and equipped with stress relief components to alleviate welding stress in real time, still has the following prominent problems: 1. Welding process control: Although the equipment has stress relief function, its stress relief component has a complex structure, relies on multi-stage linkages and gear transmission, and has limited adjustment accuracy and response speed, making it difficult to achieve precise and dynamic stress control of the weld area during the welding process. 2. Clamping system: Its clamping system has a single function, which can only realize basic clamping. It lacks multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment capability and adaptive elastic clamping structure, making it difficult to adapt to the precise positioning and attitude stability requirements of complex frame structures. 3. Regarding the working environment and cooling efficiency: The large amount of dusty fumes generated during the welding process are directly emitted, which seriously pollutes the working environment and endangers the health of operators. At the same time, the cooling of the weld seam mostly relies on natural cooling or additional cooling fans, which not only has low energy utilization but also limited cooling efficiency. It is difficult to achieve coordinated operation with the welding process, which affects the overall production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydraulic press frame welding method that deeply integrates welding technology with intelligent clamping system, fume treatment and weld cooling system, which can achieve precise multi-degree-of-freedom positioning of workpiece and adaptive elastic clamping during the welding process, and simultaneously complete fume purification and forced weld cooling.

[0017] 2. This invention, by setting up a multi-directional fixture, namely composed of a base plate, a base, an adjustment component, and a clamping component, enables multi-degree-of-freedom positioning and stable clamping of large structural components before welding. The fixture can perform horizontal rotation and pitch adjustment on the workpiece, and adapt to the workpiece surface through the clamping component, effectively preventing clamping deformation and local stress concentration, providing a precise and reliable positioning reference for subsequent welding, and improving clamping efficiency and adaptability.
[0018] 3. The present invention, by setting an adjustment component, including a connecting plate, a receiving frame, a first connecting arm, a second connecting arm, a locking rod, a cylinder, a limiting plate, a positioning block, and a positioning groove, enables the workpiece to rotate at any angle in the horizontal plane and adjust its pitch and tilt within a certain range. The cylinder drives the limiting plate to quickly lock the locking rod, thereby firmly maintaining the workpiece posture during the welding process, ensuring that the weld is always in the optimal welding position, and significantly improving welding accessibility and quality consistency.
[0019] 4. The present invention features a clamping assembly consisting of a second servo motor, a bidirectional stud, a moving plate, a plug-in post, and a spring. This assembly can automatically adjust the clamping distance according to the workpiece width and achieve adaptive compensation of clamping force through spring buffering, avoiding workpiece surface damage or stress concentration caused by rigid contact.

This device is integrated on the outside of the lifting module and can simultaneously activate the dust collection fan during welding to generate negative pressure, drawing in the dust-laden fumes generated during welding and filtering and purifying them, effectively reducing pollution in the working environment. At the same time, the purified air is guided by the nozzle to the weld area for forced cooling, achieving synergistic operation of fume treatment and weld cooling, thus improving energy efficiency.
[0022] 7. This invention employs a multi-stage filtration system and a moving component. The multi-stage filtration system includes a filter tube and a cooling and dehumidification tube. The filter tube uses a stainless steel metal mesh, a PTFE-coated polyester filter cartridge, and an activated carbon fiber filter to form a three-stage filtration structure.

The moving component transmits power from the dust extraction fan to the rotating drum via a sprocket assembly, driving the support and nozzle to move back and forth along the weld direction, thereby expanding the weld cooling range and significantly improving cooling efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0035] To further explain the technical solution of the present invention, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides a welding method for a stable frame of a hydraulic press, comprising the following steps: S1. Preheating before welding: Preheat the entire base material area with a set width on both sides of the bevel to be welded. The preheating temperature is controlled at 100℃-180℃. Flame heating is preferred. The width of the preheating area is 100-150mm on each side of the bevel. This is used to reduce the cooling rate of the weld and heat-affected zone, and reduce the hardening tendency and the risk of hydrogen-induced cracking. S2. Sequential Welding: Welding equipment is used to weld multiple weld nodes of the frame assembly in a predetermined welding sequence. At the same time, fume purification and weld cooling treatment are carried out to reduce welding deformation and residual stress, effectively constrain welding deformation, evenly distribute welding internal stress, and reduce pollution of the working environment while accelerating the cooling efficiency of subsequent welds. S3. Multi-layer and multi-pass welding and stress control: Low-hydrogen welding materials are used for multi-layer and multi-pass welding during the welding process, and the interpass temperature is strictly controlled to ensure that it does not exceed the upper limit of the preheating temperature. Alkaline welding rods or CO2 gas shielded welding wires can be used for low-hydrogen welding materials. Low heat input specifications are adopted during welding, and the thickness of a single weld bead does not exceed 4mm, in order to refine the weld grain and reduce the total welding heat input, thereby controlling deformation and stress concentration. S4. Post-weld stress relief treatment: After all main welds are completed, the frame is subjected to overall stress relief heat treatment, specifically stress-relief annealing process, with a heating temperature of 550℃-650℃ and a holding time of 2-4 hours. Then, it is cooled in the furnace to below 300℃, removed from the furnace and air-cooled. After annealing, it also needs to undergo natural aging treatment for no less than 48 hours to further release residual stress, further stabilize the frame dimensions, and release microscopic residual stress.
[0037] S5. Quality Verification: After welding is completed, non-destructive testing is performed on the weld, including ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle testing. Simultaneously, the key geometric dimensions of the frame are verified, mainly including the flatness of key mounting surfaces, hole spacing accuracy, and overall diagonal dimensions, to ensure compliance with design accuracy requirements.

The upper end of the corrugated pipe 1363 is connected to the lower end of the second pipe 1342, and the lower end is connected to the exhaust pipe 137. Connected to each other, the airflow channel is flexibly connected to adapt to the movement of the support. The top of the support 1361 is locked with a horizontal plate 1364, and a connecting shaft 1365 is installed in the middle of the horizontal plate. The lower end of the connecting shaft extends into the transmission groove 1366. The transmission groove 1366 is a circulating groove and is located on the outer side wall of the rotating drum 1367. The rotating drum 1367 is connected to the front side of the rotating shaft 1368. The rotating shaft 1368 is longitudinally installed on the upper end of the first pipe 1341 and the second pipe 1342, and its rear side is connected to the upper end of the sprocket assembly 135 for transmission.
[0047] The working principle of the welding equipment in this embodiment is as follows: Before welding begins, the hydraulic press frame workpiece to be welded is placed stably on the receiving plate 124 of the multi-directional clamp 12. Clamping components 125 are symmetrically arranged on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the receiving plate 124, and each clamping component 125 is arranged in pairs, enabling coordinated clamping of the workpiece from two directions. The second servo motor 1251 in the clamping component 125 is activated, driving the bidirectional stud 1252 to rotate, causing the moving plates 1253 on both sides to move synchronously towards each other along the surface of the receiving plate 124. The movement allows the extended clamp 1256 fixed on the moving plate 1253 to initially approach the workpiece. In each clamping assembly 125, the plug-in post 1254 and the spring 1255 form an elastic buffer mechanism. When an extended clamp 1256 contacts the workpiece surface, the spring 1255 can be compressed, causing the plug-in post 1254 to float within a certain range. This achieves adaptive clamping between the extended clamp 1256 and the workpiece surface, avoiding excessive local stress or improper clamping due to uneven workpiece surface or dimensional deviation. After initial alignment and clamping, the third servo motor 12562 in the extended fixture 1256 is started, driving the rack 12564 meshing with it through the worm gear 12563, which in turn drives the first transmission bar 12565 to slide along the bottom of the clamping shell 12561. The movement of the first transmission bar 12565 is converted into rotational motion through the first gears 12566 on both sides, and transmitted to the second gear 12569 through the linkage mechanism composed of the first connecting rod 12567 and the second connecting rod 12568. The second gear 12569 further drives the second transmission bar 125610 to move in the opposite direction, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the auxiliary clamping bar 125611, supplementing the clamping of the auxiliary support surface of the workpiece, forming a multi-directional and multi-layer clamping system to ensure that the workpiece does not shift or vibrate during the welding process. After the workpiece is clamped, the position of the workpiece is finely adjusted by adjusting component 123 according to the welding process requirements. The connecting plate 1231 can rotate horizontally on the base 122, driving the receiving frame 1232 and the workpiece above it to achieve rotational positioning in the horizontal plane. If tilt adjustment is required, the front or rear cylinder 1239 is activated, pushing the limiting plate 12310 connected to the output end into the fixing block 1238, and locking it with the locking rod 1237 provided on the front or rear side of the receiving plate 124. The front limiting plate 12310 realizes the locking rod 1237 of the front side. When the front positioning groove 12312 is locked, the first servo motor 1233 drives the linkage mechanism composed of the first connecting arm 1234 and the second connecting arm 1235 to move. The connecting piece 1236 drives the receiving plate 124 to rotate forward and adjust, so that the weld of the workpiece is in the best welding posture. If the rear limiting plate 12310 locks the rear locking rod 1237 with the rear positioning groove 12312, it will rotate backward and adjust. In this way, not only is the position of the workpiece stable during the welding process, but the workpiece is also in the best welding posture. After the workpiece is stably clamped and the angle is adjusted, the first motor 3 drives the second guide rail 5 to move horizontally along the first guide rail 2 via the first lead screw 4, thereby positioning the welding robot 11 in the front and back directions. The second motor 6 drives the lifting module 8 to move horizontally along the second guide rail 5 via the second lead screw 7, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the welding robot 11. The third motor 9 drives the moving seat 10 to move vertically along the lifting module 8, thereby setting the welding height. Through three-axis linkage control, the welding robot 11 can accurately reach the preset starting point of each weld seam and stably perform welding activities on the hydraulic press frame workpiece along the planned trajectory. At the same time, during the welding process, the welding robot 11 performs multi-layer and multi-pass welding on each weld seam node according to the preset program. Meanwhile, the control system monitors the interpass temperature in real time to ensure that it does not exceed the upper limit of the preheating temperature. With the use of low heat input specifications and low hydrogen welding materials, welding stress and deformation are minimized. Simultaneously with welding, the fume filtration and absorption device 13 is activated, and the dust extraction fan 132 generates negative pressure to draw in the dust-laden fumes generated during welding. The fumes enter the multi-stage filtration assembly 134 through the air supply pipe 133. The fumes first enter the filter pipe 1343, and then pass through multiple sets of stainless steel metal filter screens 13432 with progressively smaller pore sizes to intercept large particles of dust and sparks. The PTFE-coated polyester filter cartridge 13434 captures fine dust, and the activated carbon fiber filter screen 13436 adsorbs harmful gases and odors, achieving three-stage high-efficiency purification. The purified air enters the cooling and dehumidification pipe 1344, is first forcibly cooled by the cooling plate 13442, and then passes through the drying box 13443 to remove moisture, becoming low-temperature dry clean air. The purified air passes through the second pipe 1342, the corrugated pipe 1363, and the exhaust pipe 137, and is finally sprayed out by the nozzle 138 to precisely cool the weld seam after welding. Meanwhile, the power of the vacuum cleaner 132 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 1368 through the sprocket assembly 135, driving the rotating drum 1367 to rotate. The transmission groove 1366, which is a circulation groove on the outside of the rotating drum 1367, cooperates with the connecting shaft 1365 to convert the rotational motion into the reciprocating linear movement of the support 1361. As a result, the support 1361 drives the exhaust pipe 137 and the nozzle 138 to move back and forth along the weld direction, thereby increasing the weld cooling area and significantly improving the cooling efficiency. After the entire machine is welded, the multi-directional clamp 12 is released, and the frame is sent into the heat treatment equipment for stress-relieving annealing, followed by natural aging treatment. Finally, ultrasonic and magnetic particle non-destructive testing is performed on the weld, and the key installation dimensions of the frame are verified. Once all are qualified, the high-precision, low-stress welding manufacturing of the hydraulic press-stabilized frame is completed. Thus, through multi-degree-of-freedom adaptive clamping, precise adjustment of workpiece posture, three-axis robot collaborative operation, and integrated treatment of fume purification and weld cooling, the precise, stable, and efficient welding of large welded structural components is achieved.
