Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine engineering steel pipe welding, and more specifically to an F-shaped grounding wire auxiliary device for rotating steel pipe welding. Background Art

[0002] The construction of marine engineering equipment involves extensive welding of butt-jointed steel pipes or the welding of inner and outer ring plates. This butt-jointing process is known as circumferential seam welding, and the most common welding method involves rotating the steel pipe at a constant speed while the welding gun remains stationary. Alternatively, the inner and outer ring plates can be welded by rotating the steel pipe while the welding arm remains stationary. During welding, the steel pipe must be grounded. The most commonly used clamp-type grounding wire device is prone to cable entanglement, clamp detachment, current instability, and sparking during pipe rotation, all of which can affect welding quality.

[0003] There are currently two new grounding methods: one is to use a lever principle and place an adaptive grounding device at the bottom of the steel pipe. For example, the Chinese patent (CN209062406U) discloses an adaptive grounding wire device for circumferential welding of steel pipes. The device uses a lever principle to enable the conductor to be in constant contact when the steel pipe rotates, and adjusts the length and height of the lever through the fulcrum and the through-hole on the lever, effectively ensuring uninterrupted contact between the lever and the conductor. The other is a method described in Chinese patent CN202022860597.0 in which a clamping assembly remains in a fixed position relative to the ground, and is clamped on a steel pipe and grounded through a telescopic assembly, a contact assembly, and a conductive assembly. Although these two methods solve the problems of cable winding and alternative clamps, the core problem is that a large amount of carbon rods need to be continuously consumed. This is not conducive to the cost investment of the project. Utility Model Content
