Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welded diaphragm accumulator technology, and more particularly to an apparatus, method and application for preparing an argon arc welded diaphragm accumulator. Background Technology

[0002] Diaphragm accumulators are key energy storage components in hydraulic systems. They use an internal diaphragm to separate gas from liquid, enabling the storage and release of energy. These accumulators typically consist of two metal housings welded together, and the quality of the weld directly affects their sealing performance and service life.

[0003] Currently, in the production process of diaphragm accumulators, welding between the shells largely relies on manual operation. Workers need to manually align the two shells and use argon arc welding to weld the circumferential seam. However, manual welding has the following drawbacks: First, the welding process requires high stability of the welding torch, and manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the weld, easily resulting in defects such as porosity and incomplete penetration; second, manual welding is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production; third, the arc light and fumes in the welding environment pose a certain threat to the health of operators.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated device specifically designed for welding the casing of diaphragm accumulators, in order to improve welding quality and production efficiency, and reduce labor costs and labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device, method and application for preparing an argon arc welding diaphragm accumulator. By setting a rotating mechanism to drive the argon arc welding gun to automatically rotate and weld along the circumferential weld, only the initial assembly of the shell and diaphragm needs to be completed manually. The subsequent welding process is automatically controlled by the controller, making the operation simple.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a device for preparing an argon arc welding diaphragm accumulator, comprising a first shell, a second shell, a base, a fixed block, a movable block, a moving mechanism, an argon arc welding torch, and a rotating mechanism. The first shell is embedded in the fixed block, and the second shell is embedded in the movable block. The fixed block is fixed to the base by a support mechanism. The argon arc welding torch is connected to the rotating mechanism, and the movable block is disposed on the moving mechanism. The first shell and the second shell contain diaphragm bodies, and the joint of the first shell and the second shell is welded together by the argon arc welding torch.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a motor, the output shaft of which is driven by a gear one, a bearing seat is fixed on the base, a hollow tube is rotatably connected inside the bearing seat, a gear two is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hollow tube, the gear one and the gear two mesh and drive each other, a U-shaped frame is fixedly fixed to the outer wall of the hollow tube, and a ring is fixedly connected to the end of the U-shaped frame.

[0012] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a screw, guide rods, and a connecting frame. The bottom of the connecting frame is fixed to the base. The screw passes through the connecting frame and is threadedly connected to the connecting frame. One end of the screw is rotatably connected to the side wall of the moving block. One end of each of the two guide rods is fixed to the side wall of the moving block, and the other ends of both guide rods pass through the connecting frame. A knob is provided at the other end of the screw.

[0013] Preferably, both the fixed block and the movable block have through slots in the horizontal direction that match the housing one and housing two, so that the housing one and housing two can be embedded into the fixed block and the movable block. The right end of the first housing is provided with a protrusion, and the left end of the second housing is provided with a groove.

Step 4: After the motor controls the argon arc welding torch to rotate one revolution, the argon arc welding torch stops working and the motor continues to rotate one revolution in the opposite direction to avoid the gas pipe and welding wire from getting tangled. Step 5: Reverse the moving block to remove the complete welded diaphragm accumulator between the fixed block and the moving block.
