[0013] Fig. 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0014] Fig. 2 This is a schematic diagram of the state when this utility model is in use.

[0015] In the diagram, 1 is the arc-starting and extinguishing plate; 2 is the steel plate to be welded. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Reference Figs. 1-2 This invention relates to an arc-starting and extinguishing device for straight seam welding of offshore wind turbine pile bodies. The device is scientifically designed and simply structured, mainly composed of four arc-starting and extinguishing plates 1. These plates are made of the same material as the steel plate 2 to be welded, ensuring consistent welding performance. Each plate is designed to be between 180mm and 220mm long, forming a bevel shape identical to the weld seam being welded. These plates are installed at the arc-starting and arc-ending positions of the actual weld seam, ensuring stable welding quality.

[0018] During assembly, the arc-starting and extinguishing plate 1 fits tightly against the steel plate 2 to avoid gaps that could affect the welding effect. Simultaneously, the bevel angle formed by the arc-starting and extinguishing plate 1 is consistent with the weld bevel angle, and the bevel depth perfectly matches the weld bevel depth, thus achieving precise matching. This design ensures the stability of the arc and the uniformity of the weld during welding, effectively preventing welding defects during arc initiation and termination.

[0019] The thickness of the arc-extinguishing plate 1 is not strictly limited and can be selected from any thickness within the range of 10mm to 30mm according to actual needs. A thinner arc-extinguishing plate not only meets functional requirements but also significantly reduces steel consumption and saves material costs. To further improve welding efficiency, the arc-extinguishing plate 1 does not require beveling during manufacturing. This innovative design not only saves processing time but also avoids the additional labor costs associated with beveling in traditional welding.

[0020] The installation requirements for the arc-quenching and extinguishing plate 1 are also very clear. It must be kept in the same straight direction as the weld being welded, and there must be no tilting, otherwise it may lead to welding deviation. In addition, in order to adapt to the needs of different weld bevel angles, the included angle between the four arc-quenching and extinguishing plates is designed to be in the range of 30° to 60°, which can flexibly cope with a variety of welding scenarios.

[0021] The design principle of this embodiment is simple and practical, and it is particularly suitable for straight seam welding of offshore wind turbine pile bodies. Traditional arc-extinguishing plate designs have many drawbacks, such as high steel consumption, long manufacturing cycles, and high labor costs, which seriously restrict the efficiency and economy of welding work. However, this invention overcomes the shortcomings of traditional solutions through optimized design, significantly reduces material and time waste, and reduces manpower input in the welding process, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of welding work and the construction cycle.

[0022] By adopting this device, the arc initiation and termination processes are more precise, the weld quality is more reliable, and it also saves companies a significant amount of material and labor costs, demonstrating high economic value and practicality. This arc initiation and extinguishing device is not only simple in structure and easy to manufacture, but also convenient to use and highly adaptable, making it particularly suitable for the welding needs of large-scale offshore wind turbine pipe piles.

[0023] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
