Description

These thick structures have many problems when welded using traditional welding methods, such as large filling volume, low welding efficiency, large welding heat input, and poor mechanical properties. If narrow gap welding technology is used to weld thick structures, such as Chinese patent CN202011546863.0 (a narrow gap welding method using a rotating electrode composite rotating arc), etc., the filling material can be greatly reduced, the welding heat input can be reduced, and the welding production cost can be reduced while improving the welding productivity.

[0035] In the embodiment, the workpiece to be welded is located at the welding and installation site of the cylinder base in the wind power industry, and its main structure is flat plate butt welding, thickness: 50mm-100mm, length: 2.4-3.6m, and material is Q355B. Due to the heavy size and weight of the component, poor assembly accuracy, and large groove variation range, it cannot be welded in the workshop using a narrow gap welding device.

[0036] If the narrow gap welding device of the existing technology is used, the workpiece to be welded needs to be decomposed into multiple small-sized structural parts, and then welded in the workshop using the narrow gap welding device, and then these small-sized components are welded and assembled on site. The existing problems are: the on-site assembly accuracy is poor, and submerged arc welding is generally used for multi-layer and multi-pass welding, which has low welding efficiency, large welding deformation, and a lot of welding consumables.

[0037] When the utility model is used to weld the above-mentioned workpiece to be welded, the track 4 is directly installed on the workpiece to be welded along the direction of the weld, and the moving device 1, the narrow gap welding gun 2 and the laser sensor device 3 are installed. The specific welding operation process of the utility model is as follows: under the drive of the motor 102, the moving device 4 drives the narrow gap welding gun 2 and the laser sensor device 3 to move along the direction of the weld. The laser sensor device 3 is arranged in front of the narrow gap welding gun 2 to detect the size and position deviation of the root of the groove, and feeds the result back to the control system.

On the one hand, the narrow gap welding gun 2 is adjusted to always be at the center position of the weld during the welding process. On the other hand, when the groove is large, the narrow gap welding gun 2 is driven to swing according to the set parameters; at the same time, the control system drives the motor 4 202 to rotate according to the detection result, drives the welding gun rod 201 and the offset conductive nozzle 211 to reciprocate or continuously rotate according to the set parameters, realizes the movement of the arc inside the groove, and completes the first layer of narrow gap welding process. Then, according to the single-layer welding thickness, the motor 2 106 is driven to adjust the position of the slide 105, and the narrow gap welding gun 2 is raised to a suitable position. At the same time, in order to ensure a good weld protection effect, the secondary protective gas hood 206 is moved to a suitable position through the adjustment block 217 and the adjustment rod 209, and the above welding process is repeated until the entire welding process is completed.

[0038] The control system in the embodiment is a control system known and used in the art, and a corresponding control program can be compiled as needed to realize the control function. Since the narrow gap welding gun of the utility model can be swung for welding and can be adjusted in multiple directions and angles according to the welding needs on site, it can adapt to the welding of large grooves with varying sizes, and reduce the accuracy requirements for the workpiece assembly.
