Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe production, and in particular to a plasma arc welding machine for the production of stainless steel pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Plasma arc welding is a welding method based on the traditional TIG process, which uses a powerful cooling nozzle to generate a compressed arc, resulting in a more concentrated arc, higher energy, and faster welding speed. By using a water-cooled nozzle to restrain the arc, a plasma arc with a high energy density is obtained for welding. Plasma arc welding has the advantages of being less prone to oxidation of the weldment, being easy to operate, being easy to achieve full-position automation, having a small heat-affected zone, and being less prone to deformation of the weldment. Plasma arc welding machines are used for welding in this process.
[0003] In the production of stainless steel pipes, it is sometimes necessary to weld two pipes together. In the existing technology, when welding two pipes, the two pipes are usually placed on two sets of drive wheels, and then the drive wheels drive the pipes to rotate slowly, which is convenient for welding different positions. However, if only the two sets of drive wheels at the bottom are used for driving, the drive wheels may slip, causing the pipes to rotate at different speeds, which affects the stability of the pipe rotation. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, a plasma arc welding machine for producing stainless steel pipes includes a base 1. A welding mechanism is arranged above the base 1. The welding mechanism includes a support frame 401. A slide rail is arranged on the rear side of the top of the base 1. The support frame 401 is slidably connected to the slide rail. A second electric push rod 402 is fixedly connected to the support frame 401. A horizontal plate 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second electric push rod 402. A welding torch 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 403. The support frame 401 is slidably connected to the slide rail, which facilitates fine-tuning of the position of the welding torch 404 according to the different welding positions required. The plasma arc welding machine body is arranged at the rear of the base 1. The welding torch 404 is connected to the plasma arc welding machine body. The plasma arc welding machine body adopts existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0027] Two sets of clamping components are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top of the base 1. The clamping components include a vertical plate 301 bolted to the top of the base 1. A first electric push rod 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 301. A push plate 303 is fixedly connected to the end of the first electric push rod 302. After the two steel pipes are placed, the push plate 303 is moved towards each other by controlling the first electric push rod 302, so that the end faces of the two steel pipes to be welded are pressed together.
[0028] An auxiliary support assembly is provided above the base 1. The auxiliary support assembly includes a support seat 501 that is slidably connected to the top of the base 1. The top of the support seat 501 has an arc-shaped placement groove. A transmission rod 502 is fixedly connected between the support seat 501 and the support frame 401. When the support frame 401 moves, the transmission rod 502 drives the support seat 501 to move, thereby finely adjusting the position of the support seat 501.
[0029] Two sets of support drive mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base 1. The support drive mechanism includes two sets of drive components, one above the other. The lower drive component is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A mounting bracket 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The upper drive component is mounted on the mounting bracket 208 through a lifting component.
[0030] The drive assembly includes a mounting box 201. A bidirectional lead screw 202 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the mounting box 201. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 202 extends out of the mounting box 201 and is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 203. Two sliders 204 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 202. The sliders 204 slide along the side wall of the mounting box 201 in a front-back direction. A mounting shell 205 is fixedly connected to the sliders 204. A rotary motor 206 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting shell 205. The output end of the rotary motor 206 is connected to a drive wheel 207 through a coupling. The drive wheel 207 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the mounting shell 205. The outer wall of the drive wheel 207 is threaded, and the threads on the drive wheels 207 in the two sets of support drive mechanisms rotate in opposite directions. This allows the threads on the drive wheels 207 to provide a force that brings the two stainless steel pipes closer together when the stainless steel pipes rotate, providing an auxiliary effect for the two pipes to be pressed together and ensuring welding quality.
[0031] The lifting assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 209, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 208. The lower mounting box 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the upper mounting box 201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 209. The upper mounting box 201 is driven to move downward by the hydraulic cylinder 209, and the two steel pipes are pressed together by the upper drive wheel 207.
[0032] Working principle: In use, the two steel pipe sections to be welded are first placed between the two sets of drive wheels 207 below, and the support base 501 supports the two steel pipe sections at the welding points. By controlling the first electric push rod 302, the two sets of push plates 303 are moved closer to each other, so that the two steel pipe sections are pressed together. Then, by controlling the hydraulic cylinder 209, the upper drive assembly is moved downward, so that the upper drive wheel 207 presses against the stainless steel pipe, increasing the friction between the stainless steel pipe and the drive wheel 207, ensuring the rotational stability of the stainless steel pipe, and improving the welding quality. Then, the push plate 303 moves away from the steel pipe, and the steel pipe... The pipe is detached, and the second electric push rod 402 moves the horizontal plate 403 downward, so that the welding gun 404 comes into contact with the place to be welded. The rotary motor 206 is started, and the rotary motor 206 drives the mounting shell 205 to rotate, so that the two sections of steel pipe to be welded rotate synchronously in the same direction. The welding gun 404 is started to start welding. The double-acting screw 202 is rotated by the rotating wheel 203. The double-acting screw 202 drives the two sliders 204 to move the mounting shell 205 and the drive wheel 207 in a direction that is closer to or further away from each other, so that the distance between the two drive wheels 207 on the same mounting box 201 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the steel pipe.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
