Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline welding technology, specifically to a portable automatic welding tool for large-diameter pipelines using a welding gun mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Pipelines are a crucial component of natural gas and oil transportation projects. Outdoor long-distance oil and gas pipelines typically have a diameter of about 1 meter and a single section length of about 10 meters. Pipeline construction requires welding individual pipe sections into a single, continuous structure to achieve long-distance energy transmission; therefore, welding is a major part of this project. Existing welding equipment clamps the pipes to be welded and then performs the welding operation using an automatic welding torch. However, the welding torch on common pipeline welding equipment is in a fixed position. When clamping two pipes to be welded, the weld joints of the two pipes need to be aligned with the welding torch. Due to the large outer diameter of the pipes, a crane is required for lifting and alignment, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0003] In summary, the position of the welding torch on existing pipe welding equipment is fixed. When clamping two pipes to be welded, the welding joints of the two pipes need to be aligned with the welding torch. This clamping method requires the use of a crane for hoisting and alignment, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the problem that existing pipe welding devices have fixed welding torch positions, requiring the welding joints of two pipes to be welded to be aligned with the welding torch when clamping them. This clamping method necessitates the use of a crane for hoisting and alignment, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a portable automatic welding tool for large-diameter pipes using a torch carriage mechanism.
[0005] This utility model discloses a portable automatic welding tool for large-diameter pipes, comprising a gun carriage mechanism including a transverse motor 1, a lifting motor 2, a transverse drive gear 3, a transverse driven gear 4, a transverse lead screw-nut 5, a transverse lead screw-screw 6, a first bearing 7, a second bearing 8, a gun carriage frame 9, a lifting main drive gear 10, a lifting driven gear 11, a lifting lead screw-nut 12, a lifting lead screw-screw 13, a third bearing 14, a fourth bearing 15, a transverse motor sensor bracket 16, a transverse motor counting grating 17, a transverse motor photoelectric sensor 18, a lifting motor sensor bracket 19, a lifting motor counting grating 20, a lifting motor photoelectric sensor 21, a gun carriage limit block 23, and a gun carriage bracket 24.

A through hole is machined at the center of the rear panel of the gun carriage frame 9 and the support plate. A first bearing 7 is embedded inside the through hole of the rear panel, and a second bearing 8 is embedded inside the through hole of the support plate. One end of the transverse lead screw-nut 5 is embedded in the inner hole of the first bearing 7, and the other end of the transverse lead screw-nut 5 is embedded in the inner hole of the second bearing 8. The interior of the transverse lead screw-nut 5 is connected to the transverse lead screw-screw 6. After passing through the support plate, one end of the transverse lead screw-nut 5 is fixedly connected to the center hole of the transverse driven gear 4. The transverse drive gear 3 meshes with the transverse driven gear 4. The transverse motor counting grating 17 and the transverse motor are connected. A photoelectric sensor 18 is fixedly mounted on a transverse motor sensor bracket 16, which is fixedly mounted on the gun carriage frame 9 at a position corresponding to the transverse motor 1. A lifting motor 2 is provided on the lower side of the support plate. The output shaft of the lifting motor 2 passes through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the center hole of the lifting main drive gear 10. A lifting screw-screw 13 is provided inside the other side of the gun carriage frame 9. The top end of the lifting screw-screw 13 is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the gun carriage frame 9 through a bearing 15. The bottom end of the lifting screw-screw 13... The lifting screw-screw 13 is rotatably connected to the other inner wall of the gun carriage frame 9 via the No. 3 bearing 14. The lifting screw-screw 13 is fixedly connected to the lifting driven gear 11, and the lifting driven gear 11 is meshed with the lifting main drive gear 10. The lifting screw-screw 13 is provided with a lifting screw-nut 12, and the lifting screw-nut 12 is provided with a welding gun. The lifting motor counting grating 20 and the lifting motor photoelectric sensor 21 are fixedly connected to the lifting motor sensor bracket 19. The lifting motor sensor bracket 19 and the lifting motor 2 are fixedly connected to the gun carriage frame 9 according to their relative positions.
[0007] Furthermore, two gun carriage limiting grooves 22 are respectively machined on both sides of the gun carriage frame 9, and the two gun carriage limiting grooves 22 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically.
[0008] Furthermore, the gun carriage limiting block 23 includes a limiting lock block 23-1, a gun carriage limiting pin 23-2, a lock block guide rail 23-3, and a pressure spring 23-4;
[0009] Two gun carriage limiting pins 23-2 are evenly provided along the length direction at the center of the upper surface of the limiting locking block 23-1. A through hole is provided at each end of the upper surface of the limiting locking block 23-1. A locking block guide rail 23-3 is provided inside each through hole. A pressure spring 23-4 is sleeved at the bottom end of the locking block guide rail 23-3. The locking block guide rail 23-3 is slidably connected to the limiting locking block 23-1.
[0010] Furthermore, the gun carriage limiting pin 23-2 on the gun carriage limiting block 23 is connected to the gun carriage limiting groove 22 on the gun carriage frame 9.
[0011] Furthermore, both the transverse motor 1 and the lifting motor 2 are fixed to the side end face of the support plate in the gun carriage frame 9 via motor mounts.
[0012] Furthermore, the output shaft of the transverse motor 1 is fixedly connected through the center hole of the transverse drive gear 3;
[0013] Furthermore, the output shaft of the lifting motor 2 is fixedly connected through the center hole of the lifting main drive gear 10;
[0014] Furthermore, during use, the transverse motor 1 drives the transverse drive gear 3 to rotate. Since the transverse drive gear 3 meshes with the transverse driven gear 4, it drives the transverse screw-nut 5 to rotate. Since the transverse screw is fixed to the outside and cannot rotate, it pushes the transverse screw-nut 5 to move in the opposite direction, that is, the gun carriage frame 9 can move back and forth along the gun carriage bracket 24.
[0015] The lifting motor 2 drives the lifting main drive gear 10 to rotate. Since the lifting main drive gear 10 meshes with the lifting driven gear 11, it drives the lifting screw-nut 13 to rotate. Because the lifting screw-nut cannot rotate within the track, it drives the lifting screw-nut 12 to move up and down along the lifting screw-nut 13, thus driving the welding torch on the lifting screw-nut 12 to move. The welding torch moves laterally with the torch carriage frame 9 and moves up and down with the lifting screw-nut 12. This, combined with the circumferential movement of the rotating tool holder on the portable large-diameter automatic welding tool, achieves three-dimensional control on the pipeline.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies by using a transverse motor to drive a transverse drive gear. Since the transverse drive gear meshes with the transverse driven gear, it drives the transverse screw-nut to rotate. Because the transverse screw is fixed to the outside and cannot rotate, it pushes the transverse screw-nut in the opposite direction, allowing the gun carriage frame to move back and forth along the gun carriage support. This is further aided by a lifting motor that drives the lifting main drive gear. Since the lifting main drive gear meshes with the lifting driven gear, it drives the lifting screw-nut to rotate. Because the lifting screw-nut cannot rotate within the track, it drives the lifting screw-nut to move up and down along the lifting screw-nut, thus moving the welding torch on the lifting screw-nut. This allows the welding torch on the lifting screw-nut to move along the XY axes. After the pipes to be welded are clamped, the position of the welding torch can be adjusted using the transverse motor and the lifting motor to align the welding torch with the weld joint of the two pipes.

[0035] Working principle
[0036] When in use, the transverse motor 1 drives the transverse drive gear 3 to rotate. Since the transverse drive gear 3 meshes with the transverse driven gear 4, it drives the transverse screw-nut 5 to rotate. Since the transverse screw is fixed to the outside and cannot rotate, it pushes the transverse screw-nut 5 to move in the opposite direction, that is, the gun carriage frame 9 can move back and forth along the gun carriage bracket 24.
[0037] The lifting motor 2 drives the lifting main drive gear 10 to rotate. Since the lifting main drive gear 10 meshes with the lifting driven gear 11, it drives the lifting screw-nut 13 to rotate. Because the lifting screw-nut cannot rotate within the track, it drives the lifting screw-nut 12 to move up and down along the lifting screw-nut 13, thus driving the welding torch on the lifting screw-nut 12 to move. The welding torch moves laterally with the torch carriage frame 9 and moves up and down with the lifting screw-nut 12. This, combined with the circumferential movement of the rotating tool holder on the portable large-diameter automatic welding tool, achieves three-dimensional control on the pipeline.
