Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of surfacing equipment, and in particular relates to a composite pipe straight seam welding equipment with a rigid beam structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the pipeline industry, the inner wall of pipes needs to have good corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, while pipe fittings also need good rigidity. Pipes made of a single material cannot meet both requirements simultaneously. To meet these two requirements, large pipes are usually made of bimetallic composite plates to form straight seam welded pipes, and then straight seams are welded to the inner wall of the pipe. However, the straight seam welding process for large pipe fittings places high demands on the rigidity and straightness of the equipment. Common straight seam welding equipment cannot meet the concentricity requirements of large, long, straight pipes. Existing equipment cannot meet the rigidity and straightness requirements of large, long, straight pipe fittings. Because the straight seam welding path of long straight pipe fittings is relatively long, existing straight seam welding equipment has difficulty ensuring the relative consistency of the distance between the welding torch and the weld position on the workpiece during the welding process.

Due to the welding requirements of the weld seam inside the workpiece, a laser vision and video monitoring device has been added. The automation level of the equipment has been greatly improved, reducing the labor intensity of workers. At the same time, the use of video monitoring allows workers to observe the weld seam formation effect at any time and to manually intervene in the equipment when necessary.

[0027] The roller frame assembly 6 comprises a first base plate 60, a first slider 610, a second linear slide rail 61, a first base 62, a third linear slide rail 63, a second slider, a workpiece wheel bracket 65, a workpiece support wheel 66, a first transmission screw 68, a second transmission screw, a first drive motor 69, and a second drive motor 690.

[0029] The crossbeam anti-fall bracket 7 consists of a second base 71, a third slider 72, a hand-cranked lift 73, an anti-fall wheel bracket 74, an anti-fall support wheel 75, and a connecting rod 76.

The connecting rod limit block is bolted to the active roller frame. The position of the block on the connecting rod can be adjusted according to usage requirements. Under the action of the limit block 77, the anti-fall support wheel 75 and the active roller frame are always in a relatively reasonable position.

[0034] The first drive motor 69, the second drive motor 690, the third drive motor 5, and the fourth drive motor 611 are all asynchronous motors with reduction function. During welding: First, the workpiece to be welded is placed on the workpiece support wheel 66 of the roller frame assembly 6. The fourth drive motor 611 on the active roller frame drives its workpiece support wheel 66 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the long straight composite pipe workpiece. Then, the workpiece is fixed on the roller frame assembly to prevent it from falling during welding. Afterward, the third drive motor 5 of the active roller frame is started to drive the transmission gear to rotate, thereby moving the workpiece to the right end of the cantilever beam 3. At this time, the TIG welding torch 46 does not perform welding operations. The cantilever beam 3 and the welding torch mechanism 4 enter the inner wall of the long straight pipe. The laser vision component 45 scans and analyzes the welding path of the workpiece and feeds it back to the control module. After the path scanning and analysis is completed, the workpiece started by the third drive motor 5 of the active roller frame returns to the original position where the workpiece began welding. The third drive motor 5 of the active roller frame starts, moving the workpiece towards the right end of the cantilever beam 3. The control module calls the workpiece welding path fed back by the laser vision component 45. With the cooperation of laser tracking and arc voltage tracking, the TIG welding torch 46 performs the first layer of straight seam welding on the inner wall of the workpiece. After the first layer of straight seam welding is completed, the active roller frame moves the workpiece back to the welding start position. The control module calls the secondary welding path, and the welding torch performs the second layer of straight seam welding on the inner wall of the workpiece. After welding is completed, the active roller frame brings the workpiece back to the loading and unloading position. During the welding process, the driven roller frame moves synchronously under the drive of the active roller frame.
