A base is welded to the bottom of each adjustment mechanism, and a movable plate is fixedly connected to the adjustment mechanism.

After placement, the upper mounting base is placed on top of the welding head. The fixing bolts are inserted into the upper mounting base and screwed into the threaded groove on top of the lower mounting base.

Other models can be selected or customized according to actual needs. In this invention, we only use them without improving their structure and function. Their setting method, installation method, and electrical connection method can be easily understood by those skilled in the art by following the instructions for use. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here.
[0025] In summary, the working principle of this automatic plasma arc welding machine for tube sheet welding is as follows: Before formally commencing welding operations, the arc welding machine is first assembled, with the welding head fitted with the arc welding machine. Control circuits are then installed for the arc welding machine, the first servo motor 5, the second servo motor 6, the third servo motor 8, the electric adjusting rod 14, the electric drive rod 21, the fourth servo motor 25, the fifth servo motor 26, and the sixth servo motor 27. Next, a no-load test is performed. Based on the specifications of the circular tube or flat plate to be processed, the fitting and attitude adjustment are completed. During the adjustment process, the two sixth servo motors 27 are activated. The operation drives two threaded cylinders 32 to rotate synchronously within the fixed cylinder frame 31. Through the threaded transmission of the two threaded cylinders 32 and the two transmission rods 33, the two transmission rods 33 are driven to slide vertically synchronously along the two fixed cylinder frames 31, thereby driving the two transmission frames 34 to rise and fall synchronously. Through the cooperation of the first and second shafts with the first and second openings respectively, the two sets of planar support frames 23 are synchronously pulled to complete the rotation adjustment. During conventional plate welding operations, the two sets of planar support frames 23 are adjusted to a horizontal support position. At this time, the support cams 30 on the support roller frame 24 are housed within the planar support frame 23. Below 3, the upper surface of the planar support frame 23 serves as the workpiece bearing surface, which can be used to place the plate to be welded, providing basic support for the plate workpiece. During pipe welding, two sixth servo motors 27 synchronously drive and control the ends of the two planar support frames 23 that are close to each other to lower synchronously, so that the two planar support frames 23 rotate synchronously to adjust to an inclined posture to adapt to the pipe welding conditions. If the pipe welding trajectory is a straight line welding parallel to the centerline, while controlling the planar support frame 23 to form an inclined surface, the support cam 30 is prevented from passing through the passage 29, utilizing the inclined concave structure formed by the cooperation of the two sets of planar support frames 23. The support frame 23 is used to limit the pipe and ensure its stable and centered placement. If the pipe is being welded in a ring, the tilt angle of the planar support frame 23 is further increased so that the support cam 30 protrudes from above the passage 29. At this time, the planar support frame 23 will disengage from the pipe, and the support cam 30 will support the pipe alone. In this state, the fifth servo motor 26 is started to drive the right support roller frame 24 to rotate at a constant speed. The rotation of the right support roller frame 24 drives the support cam 30 on it to rotate synchronously, providing a rotatable support base and rotation driving force for the pipe, thus meeting the rotation operation requirements of the pipe ring welding.
[0026] After the workpiece is initially placed and positioned, the fourth servo motor 25 is started. The drive gear ring 42 on its output shaft meshes with the transmission gear ring 43 on the adjusting screw 22, driving the adjusting screw 22 to rotate precisely. Relying on the threaded transmission structure between the adjusting screw 22 and the threaded sleeve 28, the moving frame 17 is driven to slide laterally along the hoisting track 44 inside the frame 16, causing the welding head 1 to be positioned relative to the welding station to be aligned with the weld gap area of the workpiece. After the initial position calibration is completed, the electric drive rod 21 is started to drive the synchronous rod 20 to move vertically. The synchronous rod 20 pulls the two lifting columns 19 to slide vertically along the two guide sleeves 18 respectively, driving the lifting frame 2 to complete the height adjustment, adapting to the welding of workpieces of different thicknesses or tube sheet workpieces of different specifications. Upon reaching the required height, after the height is adjusted to the correct position, the auxiliary wheel 7 contacts the workpiece and applies pre-pressure positioning. Then, the electric adjusting rod 14 at the top of the mounting cylinder 11 is activated, causing the lifting rod 13 to slide vertically relative to the mounting cylinder 11, thus adjusting the height of the welding head 1 to match the weld gap on the workpiece. After all posture and position calibration processes are completed, plasma arc welding begins. During welding, the fourth servo motor 25 continuously drives the moving frame 17 to feed laterally, achieving linear welding displacement of the welding head 1. Simultaneously, the auxiliary wheel 7 maintains a constant pressure limit on the target part, ensuring the stability of the weld throughout the process and completing continuous welding of the entire weld seam. The linear trajectory welding state of the plate welding is as follows: Figure 14 As shown, the straight-line forming and welding state of the pipe is as follows: Figure 16 As shown.
[0027] If the pipe to be welded is a ring weld, then for the ring weld condition, the first servo motor 5 is started, driving the rotating frame 3 to rotate and adjust by 90 degrees, so that the axis of the auxiliary wheel 7 is parallel to the axis of the support cam 30. Then, the electric drive rod 21 drives the auxiliary wheel 7 to press down, so that it forms a pressure with the pipe. At this time, the fifth servo motor 26 drives the support cam 30 to rotate, which can drive the pipe to rotate smoothly between the support cam 30 and the auxiliary wheel 7. With the help of the welding head 1 in a fixed position, the ring weld operation of the pipe is completed. This operation state is as follows. Figure 17 As shown, for example Figure 15In the butt welding of the pipe and plate shown, the third servo motor 8 needs to be activated to drive the rotating frame 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 10 inside the rotating frame 9 to rotate synchronously. Through the meshing transmission of the linkage gear 12 and end face gear 15 at the end of the rotating shaft 10, the rotating frame 9 falls while the rotating shaft 10 rotates synchronously, realizing the rotation of the welding head 1 to align with the butt weld of the pipe and plate. Then, the electric adjusting rod 14 is used to adjust the relative distance between the welding head 1 and the butt weld position. Finally, the first servo motor 5 adjusts the angle of the rotating frame 3 relative to the lifting frame 2 to complete the all-around welding operation at the butt weld position of the pipe and plate. Furthermore, throughout the welding operation, the third servo motor 8 can be activated according to the actual specifications of the workpiece. The second servo motor 6 adjusts the distance between the two pulley frames 4 and flexibly adjusts the clamping distance of the two auxiliary wheels 7 to adapt to the clamping and positioning requirements of workpieces of different sizes. In order to realize the identification of the welding status during welding and to provide timely welding feedback based on the specific welding situation, a camera can be installed in a suitable position in the equipment as needed. The information collected by the camera is imported into the central control system. The central control system analyzes and responds in a timely manner, realizing the timely adaptation and adjustment of the welding head 1, the first servo motor 5, the second servo motor 6, the third servo motor 8, the electric adjusting rod 14, the electric drive rod 21, the fourth servo motor 25, the fifth servo motor 26, and the sixth servo motor 27, so as to optimize the welding operation.
