Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of welded pipe welding technology especially relates to a welded pipe multiwire submerged arc welding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Welded pipe is a kind of slit steel pipe welded after being curled into shape by steel plate / steel strip, and has become the core structural component in the fields of construction, machinery manufacturing, fluid delivery and the like due to its high structural strength and excellent production efficiency. To improve the welding efficiency and quality, multiwire submerged arc welding process is widely used, which significantly improves the welding speed while ensuring the forming quality of weld by synchronously applying two or more welding wires. The specific process is as follows: the welding cylinder pre-lays a flux layer to the joint of workpiece, and then the welding torch sends the welding wire into the flux layer to ignite the arc, and the molten welding wire, base material and flux form a molten pool together, and finally solidify into a dense weld.

[0003] There are two typical welding conditions in the current welded pipe production: one is the longitudinal straight seam welding of semi-finished welded pipe after plate forming (straight line condition), and the other is the circumferential butt welding between finished welded pipes (annular condition). These two conditions have completely different requirements for the trajectory adaptability of the welding device: the welding torch needs to travel linearly along the axial direction of the pipe body in the straight line condition, while the welding torch needs to be fixed and the pipe body needs to rotate circumferentially in the annular condition.

[0004] Since the submerged arc welding requires the welding cylinder to be always located in front of the welding torch in the direction of travel, and the welding cylinder and the welding torch of the existing device are relatively fixed, the device cannot be flexibly switched between the straight line condition and the annular condition, and thus separate equipment needs to be arranged for each condition, which not only increases the production cost, but also reduces the production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific technical solutions of the utility model are further described below so as to enable those skilled in the art to further understand the utility model without constituting a limitation on its rights.

[0028] In the description of the utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A welded pipe multi-wire submerged arc welding device, comprising a base 1, a supporting mechanism and a moving welding mechanism; the supporting mechanism comprises two carrier rollers 2 arranged side by side along the length direction of the base 1, and a supporting station for placing a welded pipe is formed between the two carrier rollers 2; the moving welding mechanism comprises a straight rail 3 fixedly arranged on one side of the base 1 and parallel to the carrier roller 2, a moving slider 4 is movably arranged in the straight rail 3, a support frame 5 is fixedly arranged on the moving slider 4, a welding arm 6 is arranged on the top of the support frame 5 along the width direction of the base 1, a welding gun 7 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the welding arm 6 and vertically downward, a welding wire 8 and a corresponding unwinding mechanism are arranged in the welding gun 7, and an opening is arranged at the bottom of the welding gun 7 for the welding wire 8 to extend out, and the opening is provided with at least two openings;

[0030] A barrel 9 is arranged parallel to one side of the welding gun 7, a clamp 10 is coaxially arranged on the outer circumferential side of the barrel 9, a swivel ring 11 is coaxially and rotatably arranged on the outer circumferential side of the welding gun 7, and the swivel ring 11 and the clamp 10 are fixedly connected as a whole through a horizontally arranged cross arm 12; after the clamp 10 is tightened, it is relatively fixed with the barrel 9; after the clamp 10 is loosened, it is fixed, and at this time, the height of the barrel 9 can be manually adjusted.

[0031] A fixed gear 13 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the welding torch 7 above the rotating ring 11. A movable gear 14 that meshes with the fixed gear 13 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the horizontal arm 12. A servo motor 15 is installed below the horizontal arm 12. The power output end of the servo motor 15 passes upward through the horizontal arm 12 and is fixedly connected to the movable gear 14 to drive the horizontal arm 12 to drive the material cylinder 9 to rotate around the welding torch 7.

[0032] With this setup, when welding pipes in a straight line, the servo motor 15 is used to adjust the barrel 9 to the exact left side of the welding torch 7 (i.e., Figure 1 (as shown in the image), and loosen the clamp 10 to adjust the material cylinder 9 to a suitable height before tightening it again. At this time, the moving slider 4 can be propelled to slide from right to left along the straight track 3 to weld the straight weld seam;

[0033] When welding pipes in a circular working condition, the servo motor 15 is used to adjust the barrel 9 to the rear side of the welding torch 7 (i.e., Figure 2 (as shown in the image), loosen clamp 10, adjust cylinder 9 to a suitable height, and then tighten it. At this point, the welding pipe can be rotated to perform welding on the circumferential weld.

[0034] To facilitate the rotation of the welded pipe and enhance the positioning function for welded pipes with different inner diameters, an inner support mechanism for positioning the welded pipe is provided at one end of the base 1 along its length. The inner support mechanism includes a vertically arranged support 16, which is fixed to one side of the base 1. A reduction gearbox 17 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support 16. A positioning disc 18 is rotatably arranged on the side of the reduction gearbox 17 facing the base 1. An inner rotating cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning disc 18 facing the base 1. An outer rotating cylinder 20 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the inner rotating cylinder 19. Several support rods 21 are arranged parallel and equidistantly on the outer periphery of the outer rotating cylinder 20.

[0035] In the above structure, the positioning disk 18 has small slides 22 radially corresponding to the positions of the support rods 21. The adjacent ends of each support rod 21 are installed in the corresponding small slides 22 via small sliders 23. The outer circumferential surface of the outer rotating cylinder 20 is integrally connected with connecting wings 24 corresponding to the positions of the support rods 21. Each end of each connecting wing 24 is hinged with a swing rod 25. The two swing rods 25 on the same connecting wing 24 are parallel to each other and are respectively hinged to the corresponding support rods 21. Thus, each connecting wing 24, the corresponding support rod 21, and the two swing rods 25 thereon form a parallelogram mechanism. Since the ends of the support rods 21 are installed in the small slides 22, adjusting the axial position of the connecting wing 24 can drive the support rods 21 closer to or further away from the outer rotating cylinder 20.

[0036] To achieve axial position adjustment of the connecting wing 24, a threaded groove 26 is provided at the end of the inner rotating cylinder 19 away from the positioning disk 18. A threaded rod 27 is fitted inside the threaded groove 26. An inner support motor 28 is fixedly installed at the end of the outer rotating cylinder 20 away from the positioning disk 18. The power output end of the inner support motor 28 passes through the end face of the outer rotating cylinder 20 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 27. Thus, the inner support motor 28 drives the threaded rod 27 to rotate, thereby pushing the outer rotating cylinder 20 and the connecting wing 24 closer to or away from the positioning disk 18, thereby driving the support rod 21 closer to or away from the outer rotating cylinder 20.

[0037] To enable the welded pipe to rotate under annular conditions, a rotary motor 29 is fixedly installed on the side of the reduction gearbox 17 away from the base 1. The power output end of the rotary motor 29 is fixedly connected to the positioning disk 18 through the reduction gearbox 17, so as to drive the positioning disk 18 to drive the support rod 21 to rotate around the axis of the positioning disk 18. Furthermore, the outer surface of the support rod 21 is set as an arc surface that is easier to fit the inner circumference of the welded pipe.

[0038] To assist in positioning the internal support mechanism and ensure more even force distribution on the welded pipe, the two ends of the upper surface of the base 1 (i.e. Figure 1 The support mechanism includes lifting slots at both ends (left and right). Each lifting platform 30 is installed inside one of the lifting slots. Two bearing seats 31 are symmetrically mounted on the upper surface of each lifting platform 30. The two ends of the roller 2 are rotatably connected to the bearing seats 31 on the same side of each lifting platform 30. A drive cylinder 32 is installed at the bottom of the lifting slot to vertically raise and lower the lifting platform 30, thereby adjusting the height of the roller 2. Thus, the height of the roller 2 can be adjusted by the drive cylinder 32, ensuring it always supports the bottom of the target welded pipe.

[0039] To enhance the flexibility of the device and further adapt to welded pipes of different inner diameters, a height adjustment frame 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 5. Inside the height adjustment frame 33 is a screw lifting mechanism 34 connected to a power source. The outer end of the welding arm 6 extends into the height adjustment frame 33 and is fixedly connected to the power output end of the screw lifting mechanism 34. The screw lifting mechanism 34 is a vertically arranged screw and nut mechanism driven by a motor, and the outer end of the welding arm 6 is integrally connected to the nut in the aforementioned screw and nut mechanism.

[0040] To propel the movable slide block along the linear slide rail, a lead screw moving mechanism 35 connected to a power source is installed inside the linear track 3. The movable slider 4 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the lead screw moving mechanism 35. The lead screw moving mechanism 35 is a horizontally arranged lead screw and nut mechanism driven by a motor, and the movable slider 4 is integrally connected to the nut in the aforementioned lead screw and nut mechanism.

[0041] Specifically, a hopper 36 is provided at the top of the material cylinder 9, and a material pump 37 is installed between the outlet of the hopper and the material cylinder 9. A discharge port communicating with the outlet of the material pump is provided at the bottom of the material cylinder 9. Thus, the discharge speed of the flux can be adjusted by controlling the flow rate of the material pump, thereby laying out granular layers of different thicknesses.

[0042] Working Principle: In use, the pipe to be welded is first hoisted onto the support position formed by two rollers 2, ensuring that the support rods 21 are entirely inside the pipe. Then, the inner support motor 28 is started to drive the threaded rod 27 to rotate, pushing the outer rotating drum 20 to move axially to the right. The swing rod 25 drives the support rods 21 to expand radially until an interference fit is formed with the inner wall of the pipe. At this time, the rotary motor 29 can drive the pipe to rotate through the reduction gearbox 17.

[0043] Welding operations are divided into two modes:

[0044] (1) Linear welding mode (linear working condition):

[0045] The servo motor 15 drives the moving gear 14 to mesh with the fixed gear 13 to rotate, causing the horizontal arm 12 to rotate the material cylinder 9 to the left side of the welding gun 7. Figure 1 (as shown in the image) Then, the welding torch 7 is lowered to a distance of 20-30mm from the weld seam by the screw lifting mechanism 34, and the material cylinder 9 outlet is adjusted to be flush with the lower end of the welding wire 8 by the tightening clamp 10. Then, the screw moving mechanism 35 pushes the moving slider 4 to move at a constant speed from right to left along the straight track 3. At the same time, the material pump quantitatively delivers flux to the welding point to form a covering layer, and the welding torch 7 delivers the welding wire 8 to ignite the arc to complete the welding.

[0046] (2) Circular welding mode (circular working condition):

[0047] The servo motor 15 drives the moving gear 14 to mesh with the fixed gear 13 to rotate, causing the horizontal arm 12 to rotate the material cylinder 9 to the rear side of the welding gun 7. Figure 2 (as shown in the image) Then, the height of the welding torch 7 is adjusted by the screw lifting mechanism 34, and the height of the material cylinder 9 is adjusted by the tightening clamp 10, so that the distance between the two and the weld is 20-30mm. Then, the rotary motor 29 drives the welding pipe to rotate through the reduction gearbox 17. At the same time, the material pump quantitatively delivers the flux to the welding point to form a covering layer. The welding torch 7 then delivers the welding wire 8 to ignite the arc under the flux layer to achieve welding.

[0048] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
