Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tower manufacturing and processing technology, and more specifically to a welding device for processing high-strength, large-size power towers. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid growth of the national economy, the power industry has developed rapidly, which has promoted the rapid development of the transmission line tower industry. As the core support structure of transmission lines, the safety and stability of power towers directly determine the reliability of power grid operation. Tower accessories (such as flanges, connecting plates, reinforcing ribs, anchor bolt assemblies, etc.) are key connecting components between the tower body and the foundation and tower sections. They need to withstand strong winds, icing, earthquakes and long-term loads. Welding equipment is required when processing power tower accessories.
[0003] In complex stress-bearing areas, bolts alone may not meet strength requirements, or certain specially shaped components can only be fabricated by welding. Sometimes, to connect multiple diagonal members in different directions, it is necessary to weld two pieces or plates into a complex three-dimensional node plate, and then connect it to the members with bolts. When the load-bearing capacity of a single angle steel is insufficient, two angle steels are used back-to-back or to form a cross-shaped section. These two angle steels need to be connected into a whole by intermittent welds to make them work together. The cross-shaped composite angle steel is composed of two angle steels back-to-back, and the weld is located on the angle steel. At the intersection of contact lines, the core purpose of flipping is to achieve symmetrical welding on both sides. That is, the weld on one side is completed first, and after cooling to a suitable temperature, the workpiece is flipped over and the other side is welded. During the flipping process, a special fixture is generally used to hold the workpiece. When the special fixture holds cross connecting plates of different sizes, the positioning speed is slow and the positioning accuracy is low. Moreover, after long-term high-frequency use, the positioning elements such as positioning blocks and clamping surfaces of the special fixture will inevitably wear. Burrs and residual welding slag on the surface of the workpiece will also interfere with the normal fit of the positioning elements, resulting in inaccurate positioning reference.
[0004] In view of the above, the present invention designs a welding device for processing high-strength, large-size power transmission towers, which solves the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the clamping member includes a guide block, a connecting spring, and a clamping block. The guide groove has a U-shaped structure, and the guide block is slidably disposed in the guide groove. A connecting spring is disposed on one side of the guide block, and the clamping block is connected to the other end of the connecting spring. The clamping block has a circular ring structure, and an opening is provided on one side of the circular ring structure clamping block.
[0011] Preferably, a welding hole is provided through the central axis of the flipping plate. The welding hole is used to weld the steel plates that are cross-lapped after flipping. The diameter of the welding hole is greater than the width of the overlap of the two largest steel plates.
[0012] Preferably, the workpiece clamping assembly includes a clamping plate, a rectangular groove, a clamping spring, and a compression plate. The rectangular groove is formed around the welding hole. The clamping plate is slidably disposed in the rectangular groove, and the width of the clamping plate is greater than the width of the rectangular groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention provides a welding device for processing high-strength, large-size power transmission towers. The device, through a welding torch control mechanism and a limiting frame, allows the welding torch to move along a preset path along the limiting frame during the welding of two angle steels. Automated welding eliminates the physiological tremors and distractions that cause the welding torch to deviate from its predetermined trajectory during manual welding. Furthermore, when producing the same batch of cross-shaped angle steels, the preset path can be repeatedly adjusted, maintaining a high degree of consistency in the weld position, width, and penetration depth, thus ensuring uniform stress on the welded joints of the tower. The workpiece clamping assembly, with its clamping plate moving on a rectangular groove, allows the compression plate to evenly clamp longer angle steels, preventing uneven clamping forces and significantly improving efficiency. The stability during the welding process is ensured by the clamping springs on one side of the compression plate, which can accommodate angle steel of various sizes. The compression plate, along with the clamping springs, holds the angle steel, while the clamping components on the limit frame fix the welding torch. When the welding torch control mechanism moves the torch on the limit frame to weld the cross-shaped angle steel, the clamping components can fix the welding torch when welding cross-shaped angle steel of different sizes, preventing wobbling during welding. After welding one side of the cross-shaped angle steel, the drive motor in the mounting slot rotates the flipping plate, and the welding torch control mechanism welds the other side of the cross-shaped angle steel. This process avoids the problem of inaccurate positioning references caused by specialized fixtures, thereby improving the overall positioning accuracy of the workpiece clamping assembly.

[0019] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a welding device for processing high-strength, large-size power transmission towers includes a base 1, with a connecting support plate 11 below the base 1 for fixing the base 1.

[0022] Specifically, the limiting frame 3 includes a support column 31 and a rectangular guide block 32. Multiple sets of support columns 31 are provided, and rectangular guide blocks 32 are provided above the multiple sets of support columns 31. A guide groove 321 is provided on the rectangular guide block 32, and a clamping member 4 is provided in the guide groove 321.
[0023] Specifically, the clamping member 4 includes a guide block 41, a connecting spring 42, and a clamping block 43. The guide groove 321 has a U-shaped structure. The guide block 41 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 321. The connecting spring 42 is provided on one side of the guide block 41, and the clamping block 43 is connected to the other end of the connecting spring 42. The clamping block 43 has a ring structure, and an opening is provided on one side of the ring structure clamping block 43.
[0024] Specifically, a welding hole 51 is provided through the central axis of the flip plate 5. The welding hole 51 is used to weld the steel plates that are cross-lapped after flipping. The diameter of the welding hole 51 is greater than the width of the overlap of the two largest steel plates.
[0025] Specifically, the workpiece clamping assembly 6 includes a clamping plate 61, a rectangular groove 62, a clamping spring 64, and a compression plate 65. The rectangular groove 62 is formed around the welding hole 51. The clamping plate 61 is slidably disposed in the rectangular groove 62, and the width of the clamping plate 61 is greater than the width of the rectangular groove 62. The clamping spring 64 is connected to one side of the clamping plate 61, and the compression plate 65 is connected to one end of the clamping spring 64. The compression plate 65 can adapt to clamping steel plates of different sizes through the clamping spring 64.
[0026] Specifically, the clamping plate 61 has a rotating groove 611, which is composed of a cylindrical groove and a strip groove. The cylindrical groove extends through the clamping plate 61. The rectangular groove 62 is located above the cylindrical groove. A control rod 612 is provided in the rotating groove 611. The shape of the control rod 612 is the same as that of the rotating groove 611, and the height of the control rod 612 is greater than the height of the rotating groove 611.
[0027] Specifically, a locking claw 63 is provided below the control lever 612, and multiple sets of locking teeth 621 are arranged in an array in the rectangular groove 62. The locking teeth 621 have a trapezoidal structure. The locking claw 63 cooperates with the locking teeth 621 to stabilize the clamping plate 61 during the welding process.
[0028] During the operation, the worker first places two angle steels on the flipping plate 5, arranging them in a cross shape between the symmetrically arranged clamping plates 61 on the flipping plate 5. After placement, the angle steels are limited by a compression plate 65 on one side of the clamping plate 61. Simultaneously, a clamping spring 64 on one side of the compression plate 65 keeps the compression plate 65 tightly against both sides of the angle steel. To prevent the angle steel from falling due to its own weight after the flipping plate 5 flips the cross-shaped angle steel, a magnetic element is installed on one side of the compression plate 65. This magnetic element tightly adheres the angle steel to the compression plate 65. A protruding limiting block is also provided on one side of the compression plate 65. When the flipping plate 5 flips, the combination of the limiting block and the magnetic element ensures that the cross-shaped angle steel will not fall due to its own weight. To ensure the stability of the angle steel during welding, the rectangular groove is moved... The clamping plate 61 above the rectangular groove 62 moves the clamping plate 61 to a suitable position above the rectangular groove 62 to prevent the middle of the angle steel from collapsing downwards due to its own weight, which would prevent the cross-shaped angle steel from being welded. In order to ensure that the clamping plate 61 is fixed in position on the rectangular groove 62, a rotating groove 611 is opened in the clamping plate 61, and a control rod 612 is set in the rotating groove 611. The locking claw 63 installed below the control rod 612 cooperates with the locking teeth 621 in the rectangular groove 62 to lock the locking claw 63, thereby completing the fixation of the clamping plate 61. In order to prevent the control rod 612 in the clamping plate 61 from falling off after flipping, the control rod 612 is detachably connected to the rotating groove 611 to prevent the control rod 612 from falling out of the rotating groove 611. After the angle steel cross-lap joint is completed, the moving frame 21 moves within the control groove 12. The moving frame 21 moves the welding torch 24 to the open clamping block 43, and then moves it along a preset path. At this time, the sliding block 22 moves within the sliding groove 211. The welding height of the welding torch 24 is controlled by the telescopic component 23. The welding torch control mechanism 2 moves the welding torch 24, so that the welding torch 24 moves within the clamping block 43. During the movement of the welding torch 24 by the welding torch control mechanism 2, the welding torch 24 moves along the guide groove 321 opened in the rectangular guide block 32. Since the guide groove 321 is provided with a guide block 41, and the guide block 41 is connected to the clamping block 43 by a connecting spring 42, the welding torch 24 moves along the guide groove 321 opened within the rectangular guide block 32. The blocks 43 are connected. When welding angle steel of different sizes, the welding of the cross angle steel can be completed by simply adjusting the preset path of the welding gun control mechanism 2. After one side of the angle steel is welded, the drive motor 141 drives the rotating shaft 142 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 142 drives the flipping plate 5 to move synchronously, so that the side of the angle steel that has been welded faces down and the side that has not been welded faces up. The angle steel is then welded by the welding gun control mechanism 2. After the welding is completed, the cross combined angle steel can be removed to complete the overall welding of the angle steel. During the welding process, the problem of inaccurate positioning reference caused by special fixtures is avoided, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the overall workpiece clamping assembly 6.
