Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of welding equipment, and particularly relates to an integrated device for feeding and welding a strike-off and blow-out plate. Background Art

[0002] The strike-off and blow-out plate is an important auxiliary tool in the welding process. Its function is to prevent welding defects such as cracks, pores, and slag inclusions from occurring at the starting and ending points of welding, so as to ensure the quality of the weld seam. If the strike-off and blow-out plate is not installed on the weld seam, it usually causes the weld seam to be unfilled, with pits and lack of fusion at the edges, and not flush with the base metal. When welding H-shaped steel, a strike-off and blow-out plate must be welded when the web thickness > 8mm; when the web thickness ≤ 8mm, all special projects of box-shaped and cross-shaped columns still require the installation of a strike-off and blow-out plate. The material of the strike-off and blow-out plate should be the same as that of the base metal to be welded, and the groove form should be the same as that of the weld seam to be welded. It is prohibited to use materials of other materials as the strike-off plate and the lead-out plate. Before the H-shaped steel is assembled and welded, correctly setting the strike-off and blow-out plates at both ends of the weld bead is an important technological measure to ensure the welding quality. Because the energy of the joint is insufficient during the starting of welding, the current and voltage are unstable, which is easy to cause defects such as slag inclusion, lack of fusion, and incomplete penetration. During blow-out, the energy of the molten pool is large, the temperature in the welding area is high, and insufficient filler metal is easy to cause arc pits, resulting in defects such as hot and cold cracks at the end of the weld seam. When welding in multiple layers, the defects at both ends of the weld seam accumulate, and the problem is more prominent. If it is required that the strength of the weld seam on all cross-sections of the component can reach the lower limit of the strength standard value of the base metal, the starting and ending points of the arc must be led outside both ends of the weld seam. At present, the operation method of the strike-off and blow-out plate welding post is as follows: The operator holds the strike-off and blow-out plate and the workpiece in one hand to align the positions, and operates the welding torch with the other hand for spot welding. There are relatively large defects in terms of safety and welding quality, specifically manifested in: (1) It is very difficult for the operator to manually align the strike-off and blow-out plate with the end face of the H-shaped steel, resulting in errors, causing the strike-off and blow-out plates on both sides of the steel plate to be asymmetric, affecting the weld quality; (2) Problems such as cumbersome installation, post-welding deformation, breakage during turning over, damage to the base metal, and large production workload occur when using the strike-off and blow-out plate; (3) The thickness of the strike-off and blow-out plate ranges from 6mm to 20mm, there are many specifications and types, and the thickness deviation is not obvious. If the wrong strike-off and blow-out plate is used, there will be a step on the surfaces of the two workpieces after welding, and it cannot play a role in solving the weld quality problem; (4) Limited by the personal welding experience of the operator and the on-site working conditions, during manual welding, it is easy to have insecure welding, resulting in dropping, and re-welding, increasing the workload; (5) The single-piece weight of the strike-off and blow-out plate can reach up to 2 Kg at most, the working load of the operator is large, and this work is repetitive mechanical labor, which is easy to cause fatigue of the operator and lead to the occurrence of safety accidents.

The second controller 31 controls the movement of the second robotic arm 32 according to the operation instructions of the master control device 40, and receives the feedback information of the laser rangefinder 33 and sends it to the master control device 40. The laser rangefinder 33 is used to perform edge search scanning on the end of the section steel where the welding starting / ending arc plate 50 needs to be welded, and feeds the collected information back to the master control device through the second controller 31. In this embodiment, the welding robot 30 further includes a wire feeding barrel 35 with a wire feeding mechanism 351 and a welding power source 36. A welding wire is arranged in the wire feeding barrel 35. The welding wire is connected to the welding torch 34 through the wire feeding mechanism 351, and can continuously feed the welding wire to the welding torch. The welding power source 36 is connected to the welding torch 34. The wire feeding mechanism 351 and the welding power source 36 are respectively connected to the master control device 40, and are controlled by the master control device 40 when the starting / ending arc plate needs to be spot-fixed.

[0030] The loading robot 17 includes a first controller 171, a first robotic arm 172 and an end effector 173 that are respectively connected to the first controller 171 through wires and are controlled by the first controller 171. The first controller 171 is connected to the master control device 40 through a wire, receives the operation instructions of the master control device 40 and controls the first robotic arm 172 and the end effector 173 to perform corresponding operations. The end effector 173 is arranged at the front end of the first robotic arm 172. The end effector 173 is preferably a two-finger cylinder, and the stroke of the two fingers is set according to the actual situation to meet the grasping requirements of different specifications of starting / ending arc plates.

[0031] The magazine-type workpiece loading bin 16 includes a loading bin frame 161. A load-bearing frame 162 is installed at the top of the loading bin frame 161.

The ignition / extinguishing arc plates 50 in each of the magazine toolings 165 are available for the loading robot 17 to select and grasp from above as needed. The magazine tooling 165 includes a U-shaped magazine 1651 whose bottom is detachably connected to the magazine tooling mounting plate 163. A front baffle 164 is installed on the magazine tooling mounting plate 163 on the front side of the U-shaped magazine 1651. An opening smaller than the bottom size of the U-shaped magazine 1651 is opened at the bottom of the magazine tooling mounting plate 163. A first empty material alarm 166 connected to the total control device 40 is installed at the opening. The first empty material alarm 166 usually adopts an optoelectronic detection method. When the last ignition / extinguishing arc plate 50 in the magazine tooling 165 is grabbed and there is empty material, it sends an alarm message to the outside to remind the operator to replace the magazine tooling 165 in time. The magazine tooling 165 is taken and placed in a whole tray. The operator takes out the empty magazine tooling 165, and then places the pre-assembled magazine tooling 165 in a whole tray on the magazine tooling mounting plate 163 and installs and fixes it.

The thickness of the material pushing plate 2582 is not greater than the thickness of the arc ignition / extinguishing plate 50 to be placed, and the bottom is slightly higher than the top of the bottom material supporting block 2592.The workpiece bin 259 is suitable for placing the pilot / arc extinguishing plates 50 of a single specification. The bin uses a bottom discharging method. Through the linkage of the Y-axis linear module 252 and the Z-axis linear module 253, the receiving plate 255 on the front support 254 is controlled to move to a position flush with the top of the bottom material receiving block 2592. The pusher cylinder 2581 drives the pusher plate 2582 to push out the pilot / arc extinguishing plate 50 at the bottom end of the workpiece bin 259 onto the receiving plate 255. Limited by the limit block 256, after the pusher cylinder 2581 drives the pusher plate 2582 to retract, one pilot / arc extinguishing plate 50 in the bin automatically drops to the waiting position. After the receiving plate 255 receives the material, according to the edge-finding scanning information of the laser rangefinder on the welding robot, the Y-axis linear module 252 and the Z-axis linear module 253 are controlled to be linked to align the pilot / arc extinguishing plate 50 with the end of the section steel, and then the welding robot performs the tacking operation.

[0038] A rear support 2510 can also be set at the rear of the Z-axis linear module 253. The bottom of the rear support 2510 is connected to the first slide 2521 to improve the stability of the Z-axis linear module 253 during operation.

[0039] When this utility model is applied, for example, when performing the tacking operation of the pilot / arc extinguishing plates 50 of H-shaped steel, the first feeding mechanism 10 and the second feeding mechanism 20 can be set simultaneously, which are respectively used for the tacking operation of the pilot / arc extinguishing plates 50 of the web and the flange. The specific process is as follows:

[0040] (1) Web tacking process:

[0041] a. When the web flows out from the previous process and reaches the first roller table 12 of this process, the first in-place sensor 13 first sends a signal indicating the presence of material and then a signal indicating the absence of material to the total control device 40. At this time, the total control device 40 sends a stop operation instruction to the first roller table driving device 121 to control the conveyor line to stop, and the web is conveyed in place. During the entire conveying process, the first centering mechanism 15 ensures that the web walks in a centered position without yaw.

[0042] b. The total control device 40 sends an instruction to the first positioning press plate driving device 141 to control the first positioning press plate 14 to press down, so that the end of the web remains flat and ensures that the height of each incoming web is the same (there are different height differences for different specifications of webs).

[0043] c. The master control device 40 sends an instruction to the second controller 31 of the welding robot 30, controlling the second robotic arm 32 of the welding robot 30 to drive the laser rangefinder 33 to perform edge-finding scanning on the end of the web. After finding the accurate position, it feeds back a signal to the master control device 40, and the master control device 40 determines the web specification according to the feedback information.

[0044] d. The master control device 40 sends an instruction to the first controller 171 of the loading robot 17 according to the web specification information. The loading robot 17 opens the two-finger cylinder of the end effector 173 to the corresponding width according to different specifications of the web, and then controls the first robotic arm 172 to drive the end effector 173 to the magazine-type workpiece loading bin 16, grabs the corresponding specification pilot / arc-extinguishing plate 50, and sends it to the end of the web for position matching. When the position matching is completed, the first controller 171 of the loading robot 17 sends a signal to the master control device 40, and the master control device 40 controls the second robotic arm 32 of the welding robot 30 to drive the welding torch 34 to reach synchronously, starts the welding power source 36 and the wire feeding mechanism 351, and performs tack welding on the web and the pilot / arc-extinguishing plate 50.

[0045] e. After the tack welding is completed, each device returns to the initial position and the web is released.

[0046] (2) Wing plate tack welding process:

[0047] a. When the wing plate flows out from the previous process and reaches the second roller path 22 of this process, the second in-position sensor 23 first sends a signal indicating the presence of material and then a signal indicating the absence of material to the master control device 40. At this time, the master control device 40 sends a stop operation instruction to the second roller path driving device 221 to control the conveyor line to stop, and the wing plate is transported in place. During the entire transportation process, the second centering mechanism 26 ensures that the wing plate travels in a centered position without yaw.

[0048] b. The master control device 40 sends an instruction to the second positioning press plate driving device 241 to control the second positioning press plate 24 to press down, keeping the tail of the wing plate flat and ensuring that the height of each incoming wing plate is the same.

[0049] c. The master control device 40 sends an instruction to the second controller 31 of the welding robot 30, controlling the second robotic arm 32 of the welding robot 30 to drive the laser rangefinder 33 to perform edge-finding scanning on the end of the wing plate. After finding the accurate position, it feeds back a signal to the master control device 40.

[0050] d. The master control device 40 sends an instruction to the second loading device 25. Through the linkage of the Y-axis linear module 252 and the Z-axis linear module 253, the push device 258 pushes the pilot / arc-extinguishing plate 50 at the bottommost of the workpiece bin 259 onto the receiving plate 255, and then according to the edge-finding scanning information of the laser rangefinder on the welding robot, controls the linkage of the Y-axis linear module 252 and the Z-axis linear module 253 to align and closely adjoin the pilot / arc-extinguishing plate 50 with the end of the wing plate.

[0051] e. The master control device 40 controls the second robotic arm 32 of the welding robot 30 to drive the welding torch 34 to reach synchronously, starts the welding power source 36 and the wire feeding mechanism 351, and spot-fixes the wing plate and the ignition / extinguishing arc plate 50.

[0052] f. After the spot-fixing is completed, each device returns to its initial position, and the wing plate is released.
