Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding equipment technology, specifically to a welding fixture for a bearing housing base of a wind turbine generator. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing power output of wind turbine generators and the rapid development of offshore wind power, the size and weight of bearing housings for large wind turbine generators have significantly increased. The adoption of steel plate welded structures to replace traditional casting processes has become a trend. This requires composite welding of side stiffeners and transverse arc-shaped reinforcing ribs to ensure structural strength, while also meeting the requirements for weld corrosion resistance and assembly compatibility under harsh outdoor environments. Currently, the welding equipment manufacturing field faces numerous technical bottlenecks in developing dedicated welding auxiliary devices for such large components.
[0003] Firstly, the positioning and clamping accuracy is insufficient, relying on manual calibration or a single positioning mechanism, which is difficult to adapt to the spatial positioning requirements of stiffeners of different sizes. Uncontrolled clamping force can easily lead to stiffener deformation and workpiece movement, causing defects such as incomplete or false welds. Secondly, the connection between longitudinal vertical welds and transverse arc welds requires disassembly and adjustment of the working posture, a cumbersome process prone to interference, resulting in uneven weld transitions and poor integrity. Thirdly, welding and post-weld chamfering and grinding are separate processes, which are not only inefficient but also prone to stiffener displacement during grinding. The resulting burrs and sharp angles can affect subsequent assembly accuracy and even scratch components. Furthermore, existing fluxes are mostly pre-coated, making precise synchronous supply during welding difficult and hindering effective improvement of weld fusion and corrosion resistance. Therefore, we propose a welding fixture for the bearing housing base of a wind turbine generator. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a welding fixture for the bearing housing base of a wind turbine generator, which has the following advantages: 1. The first vision sensor at the front and rear ends of the assembly plate works in conjunction with the second annular vision sensor on the outside of the spherical shell to collect the spatial position data of the side stiffeners and reinforcing ribs in real time and accurately calibrate the working posture; the fourth motor drives the first gear to mesh with the rack, which drives the L-shaped slide rod to slide smoothly in opposite directions along the guide rod. Combined with the length adaptation of the second electric slide rail and the vertical displacement of the moving block, the positioning component can accurately adapt to stiffener structures of different sizes. The positioning deviation is significantly reduced compared with the existing technology, and the weld offset problem caused by inaccurate positioning is completely avoided. The second electric actuator, through the coordinated transmission of the first connecting rod, guide slide rod and second connecting rod, drives the L-shaped cavity rod to gradually tighten, and cooperates with the third electric slide rail to drive the sliding plate to feed, so as to achieve a tight fit between the stiffener and the outer wall of the bearing seat; the pressure sensor on the inner side of the second electric actuator monitors the clamping force in real time and dynamically adjusts the clamping strength, so as to avoid the workpiece movement caused by excessive clamping and the deformation of the stiffener caused by excessive clamping. This effectively solves the problem of dry welding and incomplete welding caused by uncontrolled clamping force in the existing technology, and ensures that the fit of the welded surface meets the structural strength requirements of large wind power components.
[0016] 2. The second motor drives the rotating box to rotate 90 degrees, so that the positioning component switches from a vertical state to a horizontal state, which is suitable for welding longitudinal stiffeners; the third motor drives the assembly plate to rotate 90 degrees, so that the clamping mechanism is spatially offset from the second motor, which is suitable for welding transverse arc-shaped reinforcing ribs. There is no spatial interference in the switching process between the two postures, which greatly shortens the connection time and improves the work efficiency compared with the existing disassembly and adjustment mode. The fifth motor drives the eccentric shaft to drive the swaying plate through the second and third gears, which, in conjunction with the universal coupling, pulls the spherical shell. Under the positioning action of the magnetic ring, the welding head can be adjusted at multiple angles. The extension and retraction of the first electric push rod can compensate for the dimensional tolerances of the weldment in real time, ensuring that the welding head always fits the weld surface. When connecting longitudinal and transverse welding, this adjustment mechanism can quickly adapt to the change of weld angle from a straight line to an arc, avoiding the discontinuity of the weld caused by the lag in angle adjustment in the prior art. This makes the transition between longitudinal and transverse welds smooth, and significantly improves the overall integrity and consistency of the weld. The flux tank on the moving block side is connected to the solenoid valve spray head through a hose. During the welding process, flux is sprayed simultaneously. In conjunction with the welding action of the welding head, it cleans the impurities around the weld in real time, reduces the welding temperature, reduces weld oxidation and cracking, and further improves the welding fusion effect and weld corrosion resistance, meeting the environmental requirements for long-term outdoor service of wind power components.
[0017] 3. The sixth motor on the outside of the L-shaped hollow rod drives the friction plate to rotate via a spring telescopic rod. While the welding mechanism moves downwards via the first electric slide rail, the corner of the rib plate is simultaneously ground. The spring telescopic rod can adaptively fit the dimensional tolerances of vertical or curved surfaces, ensuring that the friction plate always fits tightly against the corner surface. Compared with the existing technology of welding first and then grinding, this eliminates the separate grinding process, significantly improving work efficiency. The rotating grinding of the friction plate can accurately remove burrs and sharp angles around the weld. Combined with the clamping and limiting of the L-shaped hollow rod, it avoids grinding deviations caused by rib plate displacement during grinding. The surface of the rib plate corner is smooth after grinding, effectively solving the problems of burrs scratching the assembly surface after welding or excessive grinding causing excessive fitting gaps in the existing technology. This makes the assembly process of the bearing seat base and subsequent components smoother, reduces assembly difficulty and rework costs, and improves the overall structural stability after assembly.

[0041] Working principle: During use, the wind turbine bearing housing base is placed vertically in the preset positioning area of the dedicated workbench. The two side stiffeners, including the matching transverse arc-shaped reinforcing ribs, are first precisely pre-installed into the designated welding position through the assembly groove on the outside of the bearing housing, completing the initial positioning and limiting. By adjusting the slide rod of the gantry frame 1, the first motor 2 is moved to the position directly above the axis of the bearing housing. Then, the first motor 2 is started, and its output shaft drives the first electric slide rails 4 on both sides to deflect synchronously through the connecting frame 3. During this process, the first vision sensors 5114 at the front and rear ends of the assembly plate 516 and the ring-shaped second vision sensor 5214 on one side of the mounting box 521 work together to collect the spatial position data of the side stiffeners in real time. Through positioning calibration, the welding mechanism 5 of the two side stiffeners is made to form a relatively vertically aligned working posture with the two side stiffeners, ensuring the precise connection of subsequent actions. Start the second motor 513, and its output shaft drives the rotating box 514 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the rotating box 514 smoothly changes from the initial vertical downward state to the horizontal state. At this time, the side stiffener is in the working area between the two second electric slide rails 5110. Next, the fourth motor 5113 installed on the mounting bracket 5111 is started. Its output shaft drives the first gear 5112 to rotate. The first gear 5112 drives the upper and lower racks 519 to move in opposite directions through meshing transmission. The racks 519 synchronously drive the L-shaped slide rods 518 to slide smoothly in opposite directions on the inner side of the assembly plate 516 under the precise guidance of the guide rod 517. According to the actual width of the side rib, the two second electric slide rails 5110 are evenly attached to the two side walls of the side rib at their closest points. Then, the first electric slide rail 4 is started, driving the moving block 511 to move downward along the slide rail, causing the two second electric slide rails 5110 to synchronously attach to the front and rear ends of a single side rib. At this time, the two L-shaped slide rods 518 are in a symmetrical attachment state, forming a rectangular limiting structure, which precisely limits the minimum clamping range of the side rib and prevents movement during operation. Start the second electric slide rail 5110, drive the moving plate 5115 to move along the slide rail to the farthest travel position that matches the length of the side stiffener. According to the weld gap between the side stiffener and the bearing seat, control the output shaft of the cylinder 5116 to slowly extend, driving the welding assembly 52 to gradually approach the weld area. When the welding head 5212 lightly touches the outer wall of the bearing seat, stop the cylinder 5116. Then, the fifth motor 523 inside the mounting box 521 is activated, and its output shaft drives the second gear 524 to rotate. The second gear 524 meshes and drives two third gears 525 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions on one side of the first partition 522. The third gears 525 drive the rocking plate 527 to make a smooth elliptical movement through the eccentric shaft 526 at the end. During this process, the second gear 524 pulls the spherical shell 5210 synchronously through the universal coupling. Under the support of the second partition 528 and the magnetic positioning of the magnetic ring 529, the spherical shell 5210 realizes multi-angle movement adjustment. At the same time, the spherical shell 5210 drives the ring second vision sensor 5214 to scan the weld position in real time and accurately calibrate the alignment angle of the welding head 5212. Through the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the first electric push rod 5211, the welding head 5212 is driven to fit tightly against the weld surface to adapt to the dimensional tolerance of the weldment. After the adjustment is completed, all adjustment actions are stopped. The first electric slide rail 4 is activated, driving the two welding heads 5212 on both sides to weld the vertical weld between the side stiffener and the bearing seat at a uniform speed from top to bottom. When welding reaches the connection position between the side stiffener and the transverse reinforcing rib, the extension and retraction length of the first electric push rod 5211 and the deflection angle of the spherical shell 5210 are controlled to adapt to the changes in weld spacing and welding angle in real time, ensuring welding continuity. During the welding process, the solenoid valve spray head 5213 is activated simultaneously, drawing flux from the flux tank through a hose and spraying it evenly onto the area around the weld to be welded, effectively cleaning impurities and improving the welding fusion effect. Before starting the vertical weld, the second electric actuator 615 is activated in advance, and its output shaft extends slowly, driving the two cross-symmetrical first connecting rods 616 to rotate synchronously. The first connecting rods 616 drive the guide slide rod 617 to slide smoothly along the inner side of the guide sleeve 618 through the shaft transmission. As the guide slide rod 617 extends with the output shaft of the second electric actuator 615, it drives the second connecting rod 619 to move synchronously. Then, through the transmission of the first connecting rods 616, the L-shaped cavity rod 621 is gradually tightened until the distance between the two L-shaped cavity rods 621 is precisely matched with the included angle of the side stiffener. The two third electric slide rails 612 on the upper end of the support guide rail 611 are activated. The two third electric slide rails 612 work together to drive the sliding plate 613 to move smoothly towards the side stiffener. The sliding plate 613 drives the two L-shaped cavity rods 621 to move closer and clamp the side stiffener through the fixing frame 614. The pressure sensor inside the second electric push rod 615 monitors the clamping force in real time to ensure that the side stiffener is tightly attached to the outer wall of the bearing seat under the push of the sliding plate 613, thus completely avoiding the problems of dry welding and incomplete welding. During the downward welding process of the first electric slide rail 4 driving the side rib welding mechanism 5, the sixth motor 622 on the outside of the L-shaped cavity rod 621 is started simultaneously. Its output shaft drives the spring telescopic rod 623 to rotate through the coupling. The friction plate 624 at the other end of the spring telescopic rod 623 rotates accordingly, and the included angle part of the side rib is ground synchronously. When the friction plate 624 is in contact with the included angle surface, the spring telescopic rod 623 adaptively presses according to the actual contact situation, accurately adapts to the dimensional tolerance in the vertical direction, and ensures that the friction plate 624 is always in close contact with the included angle surface. The ground surface is smooth and burr-free, avoiding scratches on related parts during subsequent assembly. After the vertical weld is completed, the welding process for the horizontal arc-shaped reinforcing ribs begins. First, the first electric slide rail 4 is activated, causing the side rib welding mechanism 5 and clamping mechanism 6 to move upwards as a whole, maintaining a safe distance and offset from the already welded side ribs. Based on the outer diameter of the bearing housing, the retraction stroke of the side rib welding mechanism 5 and clamping mechanism 6 is adjusted to completely offset them from the horizontal reinforcing ribs, avoiding interference. Then, the third motor 515 inside the rotating box 514 is activated, its output shaft driving the assembly plate 516 to rotate 90 degrees, changing the assembly plate 516 from a horizontal to a vertical position. Simultaneously, the assembly plate 516 drives the clamping mechanism 6 to rotate to the rear end position of the mounting clamp 512, forming a spatially offset layout with the second motor 513, completely eliminating the risk of motion interference. At this time, the two second electric slide rails 5110 correspond to the weld seam areas at the upper and lower ends of the transverse reinforcing rib, respectively. The fourth motor 5113 is started again, driving the first gear 5112 to rotate. Through the transmission of the rack 519 and the L-shaped slide rod 518, the two mounting boxes 521 are precisely brought close to the weld seams at the upper and lower ends of the transverse reinforcing rib. Through the coordinated adjustment of the fifth motor 523, the spherical shell 5210 and the first electric push rod 5211, combined with the secondary positioning of the second vision sensor 5214, the welding head 5212 is made to fit tightly against the weld seam surface. At the same time, through the coordinated action of the second electric push rod 615, the first connecting rod 616 and other components of the adjustment assembly 61, the clamping angle and position of the L-shaped cavity rod 621 are adjusted, so that the two L-shaped cavity rods 621 form a close clamping fit against the transverse reinforcing rib. The pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time to ensure that the reinforcing rib and the bearing seat fit tightly. The first motor 2 is started, and its output shaft drives the first electric slide rail 4 to rotate smoothly 180 degrees through the connecting frame 3. The side stiffener welding mechanism 5 simultaneously completes the circumferential weld of the transverse stiffener. During this process, the friction plate 624 of the clamping mechanism 6 continuously grinds the angle position of the stiffener. The spring telescopic rod 623 adapts to the tolerance changes of the arc surface and always maintains a tight fit, ultimately achieving high-quality welding and angle grinding of the transverse stiffener, significantly improving the overall welding firmness and assembly adaptability.
