Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel structure technology, specifically relating to a method and device for actively controlling the verticality of steel structure welding. Background Technology
[0002] Steel structure buildings are widespread. When there are steel structures that need to be welded during design or construction, especially vertical steel structures, the verticality of the steel structure is difficult to guarantee during the welding process with the assistance of lifting machinery due to the long length and heavy weight of the upper and lower steel structures. This has a certain impact on its longitudinal load-bearing capacity and reduces the overall safety and stability of the steel structure.
[0003] In related technologies, the verticality of steel structure welding is checked by using the wire rope laying method or the hydraulic plumb line method. This check is carried out entirely manually, which results in large errors and high labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0006] (1) The control structure moves the detection structure to the height of the weld and adjusts the distance between the detection structure and the weld;
[0007] (2) Based on the wind force at the height of the weld collected by the wind force sensing unit of the detection structure, when the wind force value is within the preset deviation range, further adjust the relative position between the detection structure and the weld.
[0008] (3) The control structure moves the level to the location of the weld, close to the edge of the weld;
[0009] (4) Control the structure to adjust the laser scale to measure the width of the weld;
[0010] (5) Compare and analyze the detection results of the infrared ranging unit, high-definition camera unit, level and laser ruler of the detection structure, and output the verticality quality result of the steel structure weld.
[0011] Furthermore, in step (2), when the wind force value collected by the wind force sensing unit at the height of the weld deviates significantly from the preset wind force value at the corresponding height, a gravity plate is added to the bottom of the detection structure according to the magnitude of the wind force deviation.

[0024] See attached document Figure 1 The embodiments of the present invention provide a method for actively controlling the verticality of steel structure welding, comprising the following steps:
[0025] (1) Control structure 1 moves detection structure 2 to the height of weld 3 and adjusts the distance between detection structure 2 and weld 3;
[0026] (2) Based on the wind force magnitude at the height of weld 3 collected by the wind force sensing unit 21 of the detection structure 2, when the wind force value is within the preset deviation range, the relative position between the detection structure 2 and weld 3 is further adjusted.

The method of this embodiment does not require manual judgment of weld verticality. The data is obtained through the infrared ranging unit 22, high-definition camera unit 23, level 4, and laser scale 5 of the detection structure 2. This invention uses multi-channel acquisition of verticality data, and the detection results are highly reliable.
[0030] Preferably, weld 3 is a weld between two steel structures. The method of this embodiment can detect the perpendicularity of welds in various steel structures, and is not limited to vertical structures.
[0031] Preferably, in step (2), when the wind force value collected by the wind sensing unit 21 at the height of the weld 3 deviates significantly from the preset wind force value at the corresponding height, a gravity plate is added to the bottom of the detection structure 2 according to the magnitude of the wind force deviation. The gravity plate can be a magnetic plate or a gravity plate detachably connected to the bottom of the detection structure 2. Within a certain wind force range, the detection structure 2 of a certain weight is not affected by the wind direction and can accurately detect the verticality of the weld 3.
[0032] See attached document Figure 2 This invention also provides an active verticality control device for steel structure welding, including a control structure 1 and a detection structure 2.

The infrared ranging unit 22 measures the distance between the weld 3 and the column 6 portion welded to the weld 3. The wind sensing unit 21 measures the wind force. The high-definition camera unit 23 captures images of the weld 3 and the column 6 portion welded to the weld 3.

[0036] Preferably, the control structure 1 further includes a control unit 11, which is electrically connected to the detection structure 2. The control unit 11 receives data from the infrared ranging unit 22, the wind sensing unit 21, and the high-definition camera unit 23 of the detection structure 2, and determines whether the weld verticality is qualified based on the received information, while simultaneously outputting the detection results. The verticality can be determined based on the output detection results, thus confirming the quality of the weld 3 in the steel structure.
[0037] Preferably, there are two infrared ranging units 22, wind sensing units 21 and high-definition camera units 23, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the weld 3.
[0038] Preferably, the control structure 1 is a movable boom structure 12. The control unit 11 is located at the end of the boom structure 12.
