Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of asymmetric narrow gap welding technology, specifically a magnetically controlled GTAW asymmetric narrow gap weld dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding system. Background Technology

[0002] Asymmetric narrow gap GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) is a thick plate welding process. Its core feature is the use of asymmetric bevel design. By precisely controlling the arc oscillation, filler wire operation and heat input, it can achieve high-quality welding of thick-walled components.

[0003] Existing asymmetric narrow gap welding technologies generally suffer from the following drawbacks: When the bevel sidewalls are irregular or the gap width varies significantly, traditional arcs struggle to stably cover both sides of the bevel, easily leading to defects such as poor sidewall fusion and incomplete fusion. Simultaneously, the arc dwell time in the middle of the weld cannot be precisely controlled, easily causing excessive weld buildup, surface bulges, and uneven weld formation. Furthermore, traditional equipment lacks real-time weld width detection and adaptive adjustment capabilities, failing to dynamically match arc oscillation parameters according to the actual gap width. It relies solely on fixed welding processes, exhibiting poor adaptability to different gap widths, easily resulting in insufficient penetration, unstable weld formation, and low weld quality consistency, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision, high-reliability asymmetric narrow gap welding. This invention discloses a magnetically controlled GTAW dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding system for asymmetric narrow gap welds. By setting up a welding torch magnetically controlled actuator, a structured light camera, a molten pool vision inspection component, a hot wire feeding mechanism, and an industrial control computer, it can realize real-time monitoring and control of the asymmetric narrow gap welding state, and achieve coordinated regulation of the arc position, filler wire amount, and hot wire temperature during the asymmetric narrow gap welding process, so as to improve the sidewall fusion state and weld formation stability.

Stay at the corresponding side wall target position; when At that time, the industrial control computer is based on Based on the determined excitation current amplitude, the excitation current timing is further adjusted so that the arc oscillates periodically according to the pattern of stopping at the target position on the left side wall, transitioning to the middle, and stopping at the target position on the right side wall; the oscillation period T includes the response time for the arc to deflect from the middle region to the target position on the left side wall. Dwell time on the left side wall The transition time of the electric arc from the target position on the left wall to the target position on the right wall. and the time spent on the right side wall When it is necessary to limit the heat input in the middle of the weld, the industrial control computer controls the duration of the electric arc's action in the middle region of the weld.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0022] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0023] Step 1: Bevel Parameter Detection and Arc Path Planning

[0024] In the dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding process of asymmetric narrow gap welds using magnetically controlled GTAW, it is necessary to calculate the welding torch reference trajectory, the arc target's position, the target's lateral oscillation amplitude, and the dynamic filler wire amount based on the real-time geometric parameters of the asymmetric bevel. Before welding begins, the welding torch moves forward, and the line laser in the structured light camera projects a laser perpendicular to the welding direction onto the workpiece. The CCD camera then captures the deformed laser stripe image. Figure 1 The industrial control computer in the system uses laser triangulation to calculate the profile of the bevel section and extracts the current bevel width W and the slope of the left bevel. and the slope of the right bevel The asymmetric bevel has inconsistent dip angles on both sides, i.e. The industrial control computer determines the target positions on the left and right side walls based on the bevel width W and the bevel cross-sectional profile. And calculate the target lateral swing amplitude required for the arc to deflect to the left and right sidewalls. Simultaneously, the dynamic filler wire amount is calculated based on the bevel cross-sectional area, welding speed, and preset filler ratio, and the parameters required for subsequent oscillation control and wire feeding control are preset.

[0025] Step 2: Control of arc oscillation mode and sidewall dwell time

[0026] In the dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding process of asymmetric narrow gap welds using magnetically controlled GTAW, the excitation parameters need to be adjusted according to the bevel width and the target lateral oscillation amplitude, and the sidewall dwell time needs to be corrected according to the molten pool state. During welding, the excitation coil forms an alternating magnetic field in the arc region along the weld direction or its opposite direction. The arc current direction is approximately along the welding torch axis. The interaction between the arc current and the alternating magnetic field generates a Lorentz force perpendicular to the weld direction, thereby causing the arc to deflect towards the target position on the left and right sidewalls along the bevel width direction. The industrial control computer determines the corresponding parameters based on the pre-calibrated relationship between the excitation current amplitude, excitation frequency, arc lateral oscillation amplitude, and arc response time. The corresponding excitation current parameters. The sidewall dwell time starts timing after the arc reaches the target position on the corresponding sidewall and is used to adjust the heat input to the sidewall, not to change the lateral oscillation amplitude of the arc. When the excitation frequency is too high and the arc fails to reach the target position, the industrial control computer reduces the excitation frequency or extends the transition time. The molten pool vision inspection component acquires molten pool images in real time, and the industrial control computer dynamically corrects the corresponding sidewall dwell time based on the comparison between the area of ​​the molten pool near the sidewall and the target molten pool area.

[0027] Step 3: Dynamic quantitative yarn feeding control

[0028] In the dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding process of magnetically controlled GTAW asymmetric narrow gap weld welding, the wire feeding speed needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the bevel size and the actual deposition state. During welding, the industrial control computer calls the dynamic filler wire amount calculated in step one to set the initial wire feeding speed. The wire feeding unit in the hot wire feeding mechanism drives the wire feeding wheel group to rotate through the servo motor, stably feeding the welding wire through the wire guide nozzle to the wire feeding tube of the hot wire heating unit. The vision inspection camera in the molten pool vision inspection component acquires real-time images of the molten pool and the contour of the deposited metal. The industrial control computer extracts the actual molten pool width, actual molten pool height, or actual deposition cross-sectional area and compares it with the target deposition amount. When the actual deposition amount is insufficient, the industrial control computer increases the wire feeding speed; when the actual deposition amount is too large, the industrial control computer decreases the wire feeding speed; when the actual deposition amount is within the allowable deviation range, the current wire feeding speed is maintained. At the same time, the industrial control computer judges the transition state of the welding wire end based on the liquid bridge length and liquid bridge diameter and compensates and corrects the wire feeding speed accordingly.

[0029] Step 4: Closed-loop control of hot wire temperature

[0030] In the dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding process of asymmetric narrow gap welds using magnetically controlled GTAW, it is necessary to maintain coordination between the hot wire temperature and the dynamic wire feeding speed. During welding, the welding wire passes through an electromagnetic induction heater as it passes through the wire feeding tube. The electromagnetic induction heater generates an alternating magnetic field on the welding wire, inducing eddy currents and heating it. A temperature sensor detects the actual temperature of the welding wire before it enters the molten pool in real time and feeds it back to the industrial control computer. The industrial control computer compares the actual temperature with the target preheating temperature and adjusts the heating current of the electromagnetic induction heater according to the temperature difference. When the actual temperature is lower than the target preheating temperature, the heating current is increased; when the actual temperature is higher than the target preheating temperature, the heating current is decreased. Simultaneously, the heating current is adjusted synchronously with the actual wire feeding speed to maintain a relatively stable preheating state per unit length of welding wire, thus completing the dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding process of asymmetric narrow gap welds using magnetically controlled GTAW.

The magnetically controlled GTAW asymmetric narrow gap weld dynamic quantitative hot wire feeding welding system according to claim 1, characterized in that: In this system, the arc oscillation mode and sidewall dwell time are controlled by a magnetic field-based arc trajectory control method. This method uses an excitation coil, a weld pool vision inspection component, and an industrial control computer to collaboratively adjust the amplitude, polarity, frequency, and timing of the excitation current, achieving coordinated control of the arc's lateral oscillation amplitude, oscillation response time, and sidewall dwell time. The excitation coil is arranged on both sides of the welding torch, and its arrangement direction creates an alternating magnetic field in the arc region along the weld direction or its opposite direction. By changing the polarity of the excitation current, the arc deflection direction is changed, achieving alternating deflection of the arc towards the left and right sidewall target positions. A preset bevel width threshold range is used; when the structured light camera detects the bevel width... At that time, the industrial control computer adjusts the lateral swing amplitude of the left and right targets. Call the swing parameter calibration table to determine the excitation current amplitude. and excitation frequency This allows the electric arc to reach the target positions on the left and right side walls solely through magnetic control, and to remain in place according to the base dwell time. Stay at the corresponding side wall target position; when At that time, the industrial control computer is based on Based on the determined excitation current amplitude, the excitation current timing is further adjusted so that the arc oscillates periodically according to the pattern of stopping at the target position on the left side wall, transitioning to the middle, and stopping at the target position on the right side wall; the oscillation period T includes the response time for the arc to deflect from the middle region to the target position on the left side wall. Dwell time on the left side wall The transition time of the electric arc from the target position on the left wall to the target position on the right wall. and the time spent on the right side wall When it is necessary to limit the heat input in the middle of the weld, the industrial control computer controls the duration of the electric arc's action in the middle region of the weld. Make individual settings or corrections; when During this process, the industrial control computer segments the oscillation period T, adjusts the lateral position of the welding torch via the Y-axis electric guide rail, and adjusts the lateral deflection of the arc relative to the welding torch via the magnetic field generator. This ensures that the lateral displacement of the welding torch and the magnetic deflection of the arc together meet the target position requirements of the left and right side walls. In the above oscillation control process, the timing start point for the side wall dwell time is either after the arc completes the corresponding lateral deflection and reaches the target position of the side wall, or it is the pre-calibrated arc response time. After completion; if the excitation frequency If the excitation frequency is too high and the arc fails to reach the target position, the industrial control computer reduces the excitation frequency or extends the corresponding transition time to ensure that the arc reaches the target position before entering the sidewall dwell stage.
