At the same time, the grooves 50 improve the back surface shaping of the weld bead and the penetration of the root of the weld bead, which not only meets the assembly requirements but also improves assembly efficiency.
[0046] In a possible embodiment, the groove 50 is a single V-shaped opening provided on the side of the first cover plate 10 facing the second cover plate 20 .

[0049] Furthermore, by providing grooves 50 on the sides of the third slot 21 and the fourth slot 22 facing the first cover plate 10, the insertion and locking structure can be easily assembled quickly and accurately without any gaps. At the same time, the grooves 50 improve the back surface formation of the weld bead and the penetration of the root of the weld bead, which not only meets the assembly requirements but also improves assembly efficiency.
[0050] In a possible embodiment, the groove 50 is a single V-shaped opening provided on the side of the first cover plate 10 facing the second cover plate 20 .
[0051] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the first cover plate 10, the second cover plate 20, the web plate 30 and the rib plate 40 are all made of high strength weathering steel.
[0052] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment of a manufacturing material for a welded structure. As the running speed of high-speed trains and urban rail trains increases, the need for lightweight trains is further increasing. Therefore, a design that uses high-strength weathering steel instead of ordinary low-alloy steel to reduce weight and make use of the engineering characteristics of high-strength weathering steel, such as high strength, good plasticity, excellent fatigue resistance, and good economy.
[0053] In a possible embodiment, the welded structure is made of high-strength weathering steel and is thinned from the original 8-12 mm to 5-8 mm in thickness, resulting in a weight reduction of at least 20% compared to conventional closed box structures.
[0054] In a possible embodiment, the welded structure is applied to the chassis of a rail vehicle.
[0055] In a possible embodiment, the welded structure is a bolster for a rail vehicle.
[0056] In some specific implementation methods of the present application, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, the method provides a welding device for a welded structure, which includes a support part, a welding part 100, and an adjustment part, the support part has a support surface formed to support the welded structure, the welding part 100 is connected to the support part to realize welding to the welded structure, and the adjustment part is connected to the support part and abuts against the welding surface of the welded structure, wherein, during the process of welding to the welded structure, the welding part 100 controls the flatness of the welded structure by adjusting the magnitude of the biasing force on the welding surface of the welded structure using the adjustment part.
[0057] Specifically, to solve the problems of the conventional welding equipment, which required manual tuning and correction, resulting in strength loss and performance degradation, ineffective suppression of welding distortion, a large amount of work required for repeated verification, inability to accurately and dynamically adjust according to the progression trend and change of deformation of the welded structure, and poor anti-deformation effect, the present application further provides a welding device for welded structures, and by providing a multi-point flexible support on the support surface, it is possible to precisely control welding distortion, precisely and quantitatively suppress defects, and effectively improve structural performance, thereby improving manufacturing precision, reducing manufacturing costs, and significantly improving production efficiency.
[0058] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the support portion includes a support base 60 and a drive unit 70, where the surface of the support base 60 forms the support surface, and the drive unit 70 is connected to the support base 60 so as to realize adjustment of the rotation angle of the support base 60.
[0059] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment of a support part, and by providing a support base 60, support for the welding structure is realized, and at the same time, the drive unit 70 realizes the inversion of the support base 60, thereby meeting the needs of welding from different angles.
[0060] Furthermore, all conventional welding of bolsters uses a single welding mechanism, that is, a single welding torch is used to perform welding, and there is a problem that manual turning over, repeated positioning and clamping are required in the process of welding the bolster, making it difficult to perform clamping formation in one go, thus affecting the processing accuracy of the bolster and improving its labor strength. At the same time, conventional methods have resulted in situations where the bolster is provided with a single support, and with a single measure to suppress welding distortion, the manufacturing accuracy of box-type bolster structures after welding still does not reach tuning-free standards.
[0061] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the specific structure of the drive unit 70, which includes a motor, bearings, a support mechanism, a transmission mechanism, etc. Due to space limitations, the present application does not provide a detailed description of the specific structure. In practical applications, those skilled in the art can refer to the installation in the relevant fields according to the actual situation.
[0062] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the weld 100 is a laser arc hybrid welding setup that is connected to a support.
[0063] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment of the welding part 100, which combines the laser-arc hybrid welding mechanism with the supporting part and the adjusting part, thereby realizing system innovation for the entire manufacturing chain of product structure development, welding equipment research and development, and welding process control. This effectively overcomes the technical barriers of the traditional laser-arc hybrid welding closed box structure, which is difficult to assemble, has low efficiency, and is not stable. It also solves the engineering challenges of the large volume of the laser-arc hybrid welding torch, which results in significant spatial interference in the traditional assembly method. It also breaks through the technical bottlenecks of the laser-arc hybrid welding of medium-thick plates, which is difficult to remove porosity and has poor back surface forming.
[0064] In a possible embodiment, the cooperation of laser arc hybrid welding with the groove 50 corresponding to the weld bead on the back side of the welded structure greatly facilitates the gas inside the laser arc hybrid welding molten pool to be discharged from the back side of the molten pool, effectively suppressing porosity defects in medium-thickness laser arc hybrid welding.
[0065] In a possible embodiment, the laser arc hybrid welding mechanism employs a process of forming the welding surface in one go during the welding process of the welded structure to complete the welding.
[0066] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the adjustment unit includes a magnetic unit 80 and a sensor unit 90, and multiple magnetic units 80 are provided on the support base 60 to realize positioning of the welded structure by magnetic attraction, and multiple sensor units 90 are provided on the support base 60 to feed back welding parameters during the welding process of the welded structure to the welding section 100.
[0067] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment of an adjustment unit, in which a magnetic unit 80 and a sensor unit 90 are provided on the surface, i.e., the support surface, of the support base 60, thereby realizing positioning of the closed box-type welded structure made of high-strength weathering steel and obtaining corresponding parameters during the welding process, thereby achieving the engineering goals of precisely controlling welding deformation, effectively suppressing welding defects, and significantly improving the weld bead structure performance.
[0068] In addition, the closed box structure of high-strength weathering steel is complex, with a large number of weld beads and a small welding pitch (minimum pitch of up to 5 mm). The assembly requirements are strict and must be controlled within the range of 0 to 0.5 mm, making assembly difficult. Conventional assembly methods have difficulty meeting the special assembly requirements of laser-arc hybrid welding.
[0069] It should be particularly noted here that although laser-arc hybrid welding has engineering characteristics such as small welding distortion, high manufacturing precision, strong penetration ability, good welding quality, fast welding speed, and high work efficiency, when applied to a closed box structure, the following problems still exist: the volume of the laser-arc hybrid welding torch is large, the welding space is easily interfered with, the conventional positioning and pressing device occupies a lot of physical space, and spatial interference between the hybrid welding torch and the pressing device is commonly present, making it impossible to achieve fully automatic spatial welding of closed box structures using laser-arc hybrid welding.
[0070] In a possible embodiment, the support base 60 is provided with a magnetic unit 80 to achieve attraction to a closed box-shaped welded structure made of high-strength weathering steel.
[0071] In a possible embodiment, the magnetic unit 80 is an electromagnet.
[0072] In a possible embodiment, a plurality of high-precision electromagnets are fitted into the support base 60, and the electromagnet attraction control modules are distributed at a plurality of spots along the length and width of the support base 60. The placement positions of the electromagnet attraction control modules are set according to the needs of supporting, positioning and constraint of the workpiece. The pitch between different modules is generally 500 to 800 mm. At the same time, the positions of the electromagnet control modules are continuously adjusted and precisely set by servo motors along the length, width and height of the support base 60, with a control precision of 0.1 mm. Each electromagnet attraction control module is fitted with a high-precision machining component to achieve precise positioning and support of the box-shaped part. The magnetic field strength of the electromagnet attraction control module is controlled by setting the magnitude of the current. The supporting and suction force of the roller can be digitally set and quantitatively adjusted between 0 and 50KN. The precise and quantitative control of the electromagnet position and suction force enables the accurate setting of the reverse deformation amount of the insertion structure box along the three directions of length, width and height, as well as multi-point accurate supporting and positioning, and multi-point flexible suction and pressing. This ensures that the entire precision assembly and welding process of the box structure is effectively constrained. The electromagnet suction assembly method overcomes the unfavorable situation of frequent spatial physical interference in traditional assembly, maximizing the spatial accessibility of laser-arc hybrid welding. At the same time, it ensures the accurate setting of spatial position and rigidity constraints in the welding process, flexible pressing and dynamic control, greatly improving the precision of welding deformation and the ability to control it in real time.
[0073] In a possible embodiment, compared with a permanent magnet, an electromagnet does not suffer from the phenomenon of demagnetization due to welding heat. Therefore, the electromagnetic control module distributed in a discrete spot manner can independently output the spatial position and the suction pressure. The reverse deformation amount and the suction pressure are controlled according to the support position set digitally and in real time, thereby achieving the engineering objective of flexible and precise control of welding deformation. This meets the special assembly and welding requirements of laser-arc hybrid welding torches, which have a large volume, require a large working space, and require strict assembly precision.

[0080] Furthermore, when adjusting the magnitude of the attractive force of the magnetic unit 80, it is necessary to monitor the friction force parameters to avoid the problem of the welding structure moving during the welding process due to insufficient attractive force.
[0081] In some possible embodiments of the present application, the step of generating a first adjustment policy based on a preset adjustment region based on the first adjustment feature value and the second adjustment feature value specifically includes: Building a digital twin model based on the welded structure, Obtaining a first twin adjustment feature value based on the digital twin model based on the first adjustment feature value; Obtaining a second twin adjustment feature value based on the digital twin model based on the second adjustment feature value; determining based on the second twin accommodation feature value; When determining that the second twin adjustment feature value satisfies the preset adsorption condition, generating a first adjustment policy based on the first adjustment feature value; and generating a first adjustment policy based on the second adjustment feature value when determining that the second twin adjustment feature value does not satisfy the preset adsorption condition.

[0084] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment for real-time reverse deformation adjustment of the welded structure, and by monitoring the magnetic field within a preset range around the distortion area of the welded structure, the problem of excessive magnetic field disturbance in the surrounding area caused by adjusting the magnetic unit 80 corresponding to the distortion area can be avoided, ensuring welding quality, and meeting the engineering needs of dynamically controlling the welding deformation in the hybrid welding process, further ensuring accurate welding positioning, and enhancing welding stability.
[0085] In some possible embodiments of the present application, after the step of performing real-time reverse deformation adjustment on the welded structure during the welding process according to the first adjustment policy, specifically: Obtaining a second welding feature value and a third welding feature value during a welding process of the welded structure, where the second welding feature value refers to a welding trajectory parameter of the welded structure and the third feature value refers to a molten pool parameter of the welded structure; generating a second adjustment policy for controlling a magnetic field direction of the adjustment portion based on the second welding characteristic value and the third welding characteristic value; The method further includes performing real-time magnetic field stirring on the molten pool of the welded structure during the welding process according to a second adjusting policy.
[0086] Specifically, this embodiment provides an embodiment in which real-time magnetic field stirring is performed on the molten pool of the welded structure. The alternating magnetic field generated by the magnetic unit 80 is used to couple and control the laser and arc energy fields of laser-arc hybrid welding, effectively suppressing plasma and increasing the droplet flight speed and molten pool flow speed of laser-arc hybrid welding, improving the heat transfer and energy efficiency of the laser and arc, making the droplet transfer more stable and the arc directionality better. At the same time, a magnetic field stirring effect is formed inside the weld bead molten pool, further refining the weld bead grain structure and strengthening the gas discharge ability. Compared with conventional hybrid welding heads, the mechanical performance and fatigue strength of the hybrid welding head under magnetic field superposition are improved by at least 5% or more.
[0087] In addition, the heat source of hybrid welding is concentrated and the active area is small, making it extremely sensitive to changes in spatial position due to dynamic small distortions during the welding process of large, complex components. If real-time intervention is not made to the small distortions during the welding process, the accumulated distortion will lead to relatively large deviations in the subsequent welding position, which will further affect the stability and reliability of the welding process. Therefore, real-time intervention and dynamic control of welding distortions is required.
[0088] Furthermore, by combining laser-arc hybrid welding with the magnetic field generated by electromagnet attraction, the stirring action of the electromagnetic force inside the weld bead molten pool is used to speed up gas discharge, effectively reducing the occurrence of weld bead porosity defects. At the same time, by adjusting the direction of the electromagnetic force, the arc magnetic blow phenomenon is suppressed, maintaining more stable arc and droplet transfer. The combined control of the magnetic field, laser, and arc multi-energy fields further refines the weld bead grain structure, significantly improving the mechanical performance and fatigue strength of the hybrid welding head.
[0089] In other words, by comprehensively utilizing the above-mentioned innovative method, the present application changes the welding manufacturing mode of the sealed box-type structure from the entire manufacturing flow of structural design and development, welding equipment research and development, and welding process development, and has a significant effect of improving the manufacturing accuracy, connection strength, and welding quality of the sealed insertion joint box-type component.
