Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic adjustment device for submerged arc welding. Background Technology
[0002] Submerged arc welding (including submerged arc surfacing and electroslag surfacing) is a welding method in which an electric arc burns under a layer of flux. Its inherent advantages, such as stable weld quality, high welding productivity, and minimal arc light and fumes, make it a primary welding method in the fabrication of important steel structures such as pressure vessels, pipe sections, and box girder columns. In recent years, although many new, efficient, and high-quality welding methods have emerged, the application of submerged arc welding has remained unaffected. From the perspective of the proportion of deposited metal weight among various fusion welding methods, submerged arc welding accounts for approximately 10%, and this proportion has remained relatively stable over the years. In automatic submerged arc welding, the processes of arc ignition, wire feeding, arc movement along the welding direction, and welding termination are all completed mechanically. The roles of the welding wire and flux during welding are the same as those of the electrode core and electrode coating in manual arc welding. Different welding wires and fluxes with different compositions should be selected for welding different materials. For example, H08A welding wire is commonly used when welding low-carbon steel, paired with high-manganese, high-silicon flux such as HJ431. Welding power supplies typically use large-capacity arc welding transformers.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN211192440U discloses an automatic adjustment device for submerged arc welding, including a submerged arc welding system, an image acquisition system, a control system, and an automatic adjustment system. The submerged arc welding system, image acquisition system, and automatic adjustment system are all electrically connected to the control system. The submerged arc welding system includes a submerged arc welding head and a welding torch positioned below the welding head. The image acquisition system includes a camera positioned around the welding torch. The automatic adjustment system includes a lifting adjustment mechanism that drives the submerged arc welding head up and down, a translation adjustment mechanism that drives the submerged arc welding head laterally, and a rotation adjustment mechanism that drives the submerged arc welding head to rotate. Although this device can adjust the welding head in all directions, its practical application is limited. It cannot weld different materials because welding different materials requires different compositions of welding wire and flux, and the thickness of the welding wire also varies. Therefore, the wire feeding mechanism needs to be improved to adapt to welding wires of different thicknesses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic adjustment device for submerged arc welding, which has the effect of adjusting the spacing of welding wire rollers and has a wide range of applications.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic adjustment device for submerged arc welding, comprising a frame, a wire spool rotatably mounted on the frame, a flux box wire feeding mechanism mounted on the frame, and a welding head. The wire feeding mechanism includes a wire feeding frame, a main wire feeding roller and an auxiliary wire feeding roller rotatably connected to the wire feeding frame, and a drive motor for driving the main wire feeding roller to rotate. A transmission component is provided between the main wire feeding roller and the auxiliary wire feeding roller, and the main wire feeding roller controls the rotation of the auxiliary wire feeding roller through the transmission component. An adjustment mechanism is also provided on the wire feeding frame, and the adjustment mechanism controls the distance between the auxiliary wire feeding roller and the main wire feeding roller.

The transmission frame is fixedly connected to the wire feeding frame. The main shaft is coaxially fixedly connected to the end of the main wire feeding roller and rotatably connected to the transmission frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the main wire feeding roller to rotate through the main shaft. The main shaft is connected to the main gear, which controls the rotation of the auxiliary gear through the transmission gear, so as to realize the rotation of the main wire feeding roller and the auxiliary wire feeding roller to feed the welding wire. When the distance adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance between the auxiliary wire feeding roller and the main wire feeding roller, the auxiliary gear at the end of the auxiliary wire feeding roller will move along the transmission gear to achieve the change of distance but still be able to transmit.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting rod, a limiting rod, an adjusting block, and a movable component. The limiting rod is fixedly connected to the transmission frame and is arranged parallel to the secondary shaft. The adjusting block is coaxially rotatably connected to the secondary shaft. The adjusting rod has an external thread that passes through the limiting rod. The end of the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting block.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the movable component includes a movable block, the transmission frame has a guide hole, the movable block is slidably connected in the guide hole, and the secondary shaft is rotatably connected in the guide hole.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that two guide holes are provided, and two movable blocks are provided, with the two movable blocks respectively slidably connected within the guide holes.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the guide hole is an arc-shaped guide hole.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting rod is rotated. The adjusting rod and the limiting rod are connected by a thread, so the position of the limiting rod is fixed. Therefore, the adjusting rod will move forward or backward. The end of the adjusting rod is connected to the secondary shaft through the adjusting block, so as to drive the secondary shaft to move, thereby realizing the process of the secondary wire feeding roller moving closer to or away from the main wire feeding roller. During its movement, the movable block will play a guiding role, so that the secondary gear and the main gear can always maintain a meshing state.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the transmission frame is provided with a strip-shaped hole, the movable block is provided with a limiting screw hole, a bolt is movably inserted into the strip-shaped hole, and the bolt passes through the strip-shaped hole and connects to the limiting screw hole.
[0015] A further feature of this invention is that a handwheel is provided at the end of the adjusting rod away from the adjusting block.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model can conveniently adjust the distance between the two wire feeding rollers to accommodate welding wires of different thicknesses for conveying. The drive motor drives the main wire feeding roller to rotate through the main shaft. The main shaft is connected to a main gear, which controls the rotation of the auxiliary gear through the transmission gear, thereby realizing the rotation of the main wire feeding roller and the auxiliary wire feeding roller to convey the welding wire. When the distance adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance between the auxiliary wire feeding roller and the main wire feeding roller, the auxiliary gear at the end of the auxiliary wire feeding roller will move along the transmission gear to achieve distance changes while still enabling transmission.
