Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of non-standard welding equipment, in particular to a main machine for welding the longitudinal weld of a container tube. Background Art
[0002] In aerospace engineering, when welding large-diameter, thin-walled cylinders, such as rocket bodies, the process typically involves butt-welding strips end-to-end to form short sections. These sections are then butted together sequentially for circumferential welding to create the final, larger cylinder. When welding short sections, longitudinal welding is required, resulting in long welds and demanding high-quality weld frontal appearance: no spatter, no perforations, no pores, no cracks, and no severe oxidation. This is currently difficult to achieve with manual welding. Furthermore, welding workpieces that are assembled into cylindrical sections requires the coordination of multiple personnel and auxiliary tooling from hoisting and alignment to completion, resulting in a complex process, low efficiency, and unstable welding quality. Utility Model Content

[0016] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, a main machine for welding longitudinal seams of a container cylinder includes a vertical frame 1, a lifting screw rod assembly 2, a laser welding head 3, a fine-tuning platform 4 and a longitudinal seam main frame 5. The vertical frame 1 and the lifting screw rod assembly 2 are arranged side by side. The output end of the lifting screw rod assembly 2 is connected to the fine-tuning platform 4 to drive the fine-tuning platform 4 to move up and down. The laser welding head 3 is installed on the fine-tuning platform 4. A middle seam 11 is arranged vertically in the middle of the vertical frame 1. The welding torch 31 of the laser welding head 3 penetrates through the middle seam 11. The longitudinal seam main frame 5 includes a longitudinal frame body 51 and a transverse moving platform 52. The longitudinal frame body 51 is installed on the output end of the transverse moving platform 52. The transverse moving platform 52 drives the longitudinal frame body 51 to approach or move away from the vertical frame 1. The longitudinal frame body 51 is provided with a slot 511 corresponding to the middle seam 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the vertical frame 1 and the longitudinal seam main frame 5 are arranged side by side. During welding, a workpiece in the shape of a cylinder (not shown in the figure) is pre-spot welded and vertically placed between the vertical frame 1 and the longitudinal seam main frame 5 by means of hoisting, and the workpiece is rotated so that the position to be welded of the workpiece is aligned with the middle seam 11. At this time, the lifting screw rod assembly 2 can be started, and the lifting screw rod assembly 2 drives the laser welding head 3 to move up and down, so that the longitudinal welding of the cylindrical workpiece can be carried out to ensure that the structural strength of the weld reaches the standard. During welding, if the welding torch of the laser welding head 3 cannot be aligned with the weld, the operator can adjust the orientation of the welding torch through the fine-tuning platform 4 to make its initial position aligned with the weld. At the same time, it can be understood that during welding, the two sides of the workpiece weld need to be pressed tightly. We use the longitudinal frame body 51 and the vertical frame 1 to cooperate to press the workpiece. Copper alloy gaskets are inlaid on the adjacent sides of the longitudinal frame body 51 and the vertical frame 1 to ensure uniform pressure on the workpiece and the formation of the back of the weld. The longitudinal frame body 51 approaches or moves away from the vertical frame 1 through the transverse moving platform 52. It can be understood that when the welding is completed or the feeding is carried out, the transverse moving platform 52 drives the longitudinal frame body 51 to move away from the vertical frame 1 side. After the feeding is completed, the transverse moving platform 52 drives the longitudinal frame body 51 to move towards the vertical frame 1 side and clamp the workpiece to ensure the formation of the weld.
[0017] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, a liquid cooling channel 12 is buried on the side of the vertical frame 1 facing the longitudinal frame body 51. Specifically, the liquid cooling channel 12 is buried in the slot behind the copper alloy gasket for liquid cooling of the copper alloy inner lining to prevent local overheating of the welded workpiece and ensure the stability of the welding process without damaging the equipment.
[0018] As shown Figures 1 to 2 in the figure, the lifting lead screw assembly 2 includes a lead screw 21, a first motor 22, a carriage 23 and a guide rail frame 24. Both ends of the lead screw 21 are movably connected to the guide rail frame 24. The first motor 22 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. The carriage 23 is movably connected to the lead screw 21. The fine adjustment platform 4 is installed on the carriage 23, and a wire feeder 6 is also arranged on the carriage 23. Specifically, the first motor 22 drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, the carriage 23 can move up and down along the guide rail frame 24. This is the prior art and will not be elaborated here. We mainly install a fine adjustment platform 4 on the carriage 23 to adjust the initial position of the welding torch of the laser welding head 3 to ensure the welding precision. At the same time, a wire feeder 6 is integrated on the carriage 23 to synchronously feed wire to the laser welding head 3. The two move synchronously to ensure that the welding wire will not be broken during wire feeding.
[0019] As shown Figures 1 to 2 in the figure, walking guide wheels 231 are arranged on the edge of the carriage 23. The walking guide wheels 231 are movably abutted against the outer edge of the guide rail frame 24. The walking guide wheels 231 play a guiding role to prevent the carriage 23 from running off track when moving on the guide rail frame 24.
[0020] As shown Figures 1 to 2 in the figure, a locking assembly 7 is provided at the top of the vertical frame 1. The locking assembly 7 includes a cylinder 71, a rotating frame 72 and a lock head 73. The fixed end of the cylinder 71 is hinged to the side of the vertical frame 1. The rotating frame 72 is movably installed at the top of the vertical frame 1 through a bearing seat. The output end of the cylinder 71 is connected to the end of the rotating frame 72 to drive the rotating frame 72 to rotate. The lock head 73 is installed at the other end of the rotating frame 72. A protrusion 512 is provided at the top of the longitudinal frame body 51. The protrusion 512 movably penetrates through the lock head 73. Specifically, the lock head 73 is in a U shape. The fixed end of the cylinder 71 is hinged to the side of the vertical frame 1, so that when the output end of the cylinder 71 expands and contracts to drive the rotating frame 72 to rotate, the cylinder 71 can also rotate and will not be stuck. The rotating frame 72 is movably installed at the top of the vertical frame 1 through a bearing seat. The rotating frame 72 is connected to the opening and closing end of the lock head 73. When it rotates, it can drive the lock head 73 to rotate. When the lock head 73 rotates to the horizontal position, the protrusion 512 can be inserted into the lock head 73, thereby connecting the longitudinal frame body 51 and the vertical frame 1, avoiding the upper end of the longitudinal frame body 51 and the vertical frame 1 from shaking due to vibration when the power sources such as motors are started because of their excessive height, resulting in a reduction in welding precision.
[0021] As shown Figures 1 to 2As shown, the locking component 7 further includes an adjusting bolt 74 and a stop plate 75. The adjusting bolt 74 movably penetrates through the closing end of the lock head 73 and is connected to the stop plate 75, and the stop plate 75 abuts against the protrusion 512. Specifically, by rotating the adjusting bolt 74, the stop plate 75 can be displaced within the U-shaped lock head 73, so that the stop plate 75 can abut against the protrusion 512, making the longitudinal frame body 51 and the vertical frame 1 more closely combined, ensuring that the clamping force on the workpiece meets the standard, and preventing the longitudinal frame body 51 from shaking.
[0022] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
