The specific embodiment
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, wherein these illustrated purposes only illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention, rather than be used to limit the present invention, Fig. 1 represents a kind of novel two stage welder A with power supply 10, this power supply 10 comprises a speed-sensitive switch power supply that is illustrated as converter 12, this converter has a three-phase input power supply 14, and this power supply 14 is transformed to a DC railway line power supply 20,22 by rectifier 16.The output winding 30 of converter 12 is the elementary windings with transformer T of secondary windings 32, and secondary windings 32 is used for electric current is offered rectifier network 40.This network provides an electric current current potential by positive wire 42 and negative wire 44.A less standard inductor 50 is connected with the contact tip 54 of a standard, transmits welding rod 60 by contact tip 54, determines the arc slit that electric current can flow through in the arc welding process thereby this welding rod 60 forms with workpiece W electrode E at interval.Welding machine A carries out polytype arc welding by the slit that the electric current that will select waveform in advance flows through between electrode E and the workpiece W.Because arc melts wire 60 and workpiece W are to carry out welding operation, wire feeder 100 draws welding rod with a speed (WFS) of being determined by motor 104 rotary speeies from reel 102.This speed reads by a feedback velocity metre 110, and the input voltage of the pulse width modulator 112 by error amplifier 114 output is controlled.This amplifier has one and is expressed as required welding rod to first input 120 of sending speed (WFS) voltage.This speed can or more precisely be that the question blank of waveshape monitor 180 is controlled by an analog circuit.Input voltage 120 is determined the speed of motor 104, and its actual speed is monitored by velocity metre 110, is used for comparing with voltage on circuit 120.The actual speed feedback is the voltage on the incoming line 122.Like this, wire feed speed is just consistent with the welding process that welding machine A is carrying out.Current waveform by electrode E and workpiece W is controlled by software controller 130, such software controller 30 comprises a software pulse width modulator 132, and it is used for producing a voltage with a pulse rate of being determined by the setpoint frequency of oscillator 136 on output control line 134.Like this, the high-frequency impulse on the circuit 134 is controlled by the voltage of circuit 140, and the voltage of circuit 140 is the output with second error amplifier 150 of first input, and first input is controlled by current detecting or sensing current divider 152.The voltage of circuit 154 is represented the arc current of welding process.Command signal on the circuit 160 compares with the actual arc electric current of representing with voltage on the circuit 154 so that pulse width modulator 152 can be followed the tracks of the required waveform of waveshape monitor or generator 180 generations by command link 160.The wire feed speed of error amplifier 114 also is controlled by this waveshape monitor or generator.Generator 180 is that the generator of a cooperating is so that command signal 160 is mutually harmonious with wire feed speed signal or voltage (WFS) on the circuit 120.
According to new departure of welding machine A, a kind of switch 190 is provided, in fact, it is a software switch, as shown in Figure 1, it has the primary importance 192 and the second place 194.Switch is when position 192, and waveshape monitor 180 quilts are controlled according to the first process A of the Process Control System 200 of process A.Like this, Process Control System 200 is connected with cooperating waveshape monitor 180 can realize the process A of waveshape monitor 180 by controller 130.Equally, switch 190 is when position 194, and Process Control System 202 makes waveshape monitor 180 realize the second process B by the signal on the command link 160.Therefore, by the alteration switch 190 between position 192,194, welding machine A just can carry out two independently welding processes.Certainly, switch 190 is had more than two positions so that welding machine can be in turn or sequentially carried out welding process more than two, if wish such operation.In fact, preferably welding machine A only can alternately carry out two independently welding processes.According to another aspect of the present invention, the position of switch 190 is by controlling from the logic on the dotted line 210 of cycle rate counter 212 outputs.Among the rolling counters forward process A or each cycle among the process B.At the end of counting, set as counting selector 214 or counting selector 216, the logic on the circuit 210 is transformed to switch 190 other position that can realize other welding process.Counter 212 count down to a numerical value CA, is transformed to the process B that remains to till rolling counters forward to the numerical value CB then.Then, first process is returned in switch 190 conversion, i.e. process A.In this preferred embodiment, one of them process is high thermal process, and another process is low thermal process.Numerical value CA is identical in essence with CB.Therefore, this welding operation comprises low-heat part and high hot part, and these two parts are repeatedly realized the performance with the energy control operation in whole welding process, and no matter it is STT, pulse operation or other operation.As diagram, different welding processes can alternately be selected by counter.In fact, welding machine A can carry out mutual so that by the definite conversion from a process to another process of the parameter different with count value.For example, 170 pairs 172 of voltage sensors produce a voltage, and this voltage detecting short circuit is used for the migration between the first process A and the second process B in Fig. 2, and wherein second process is an arc reset procedure.Counting is significantly different, selects mutual parameter with can be for transforming to a selection course in advance after a given process transition is a detectable welding condition.
In fact, process A is common high energy process, and process B is a low energy process.Count value CA is identical in essence with CB.In order to change welding operation, numerical value CA is strengthened, or numerical value CB is reduced can improve the heat in the welding process.Equally, in order to reduce heat, numerical value CA is reduced or numerical value CB is strengthened.Use when certainly, these increases or the combination that reduces can be selected required total amount of heat in welding process.In a preferred embodiment, process A is identical with process B, but has different size waveforms.It can be pulse welding or STT welding.But according to the present invention, these processes may be different fully.For example, in the practice, process A is a high hot constant voltage spray process, and process B is the low thermal process of GMAW of a pulse.Counter 212 is set at the required total amount of heat of welding operation by counting selector 214,216.In fact, process A is the impulse welding termination process of a high heat, and process B is a STT welding process with lower wire feed speed.And process A is the impulse welding termination process of a high heat in practice, and process B is a short arc constant voltage process.Another embodiment of the invention, process A is an impulse welding termination process, process B is a closed-loop control process, is the process of controlling by out-put supply as an electric current.Another embodiment of the present invention, process A is a pulse positive electrode constant voltage welding process, process B is a pulse negative electrode constant voltage welding process.In embodiments of the invention, a polarity reversing switch is added in the output circuit of inductor 50 fronts, and corresponding polar circuit is transformed to switch 190 simultaneously.Other embodiment of the present invention comprises that the various combination of welding process is can carry out required whole welding processes.
Schematically illustrate a kind of intersection control routine 220 among Fig. 2, wherein waveform generator and controller 222 produce foregoing voltage on control circuit 134.Controller 130 is in square frame 222.As shown in Figure 1, this voltage outputs to the power supply 12 that the voltage control procedure control network 224 on the circuit 172 is monitored with voltage sensor 170.The timer 2 26 of process control network is set at one usually greater than time of 1.0ms, is setting-up time among the 0.2-0.5ms more preferably greater than normal range (NR).The output of timer network is a logic of pointing on decision-making square 230 circuits 232, is used to determine whether to exist the short circuit of a time of being detected greater than the setting-up time of timer 2 26.The position of switch 190 is controlled by decision-making square 230.When having the short circuit that surpasses timer 26 setting-up times, therefore switch 190 just is transformed to position 194, and when having long-term non-incipient short, switch 190 transforms to another position to carry out second welding process.In embodiments of the invention, first process is an impulse waveform that the waveform of determining according to the system shown in the square 240 is controlled.One of square 242 expression produce the system of STT waveform or other short circuit removing welding process.System 220 carries out first operator scheme of the impulse waveform that is defined as system's control of being represented by square 240.No matter when be short-circuited, the voltage of circuit 172 will drop to one below the threshold value.This has just determined a short circuit.This testing conditions carries out timing by timer 2 26.If short circuit duration surpasses the time that timer is set, the logic on the circuit 232 is just pointed to the decision-making square that does not have non-initial actual short.This logic is transformed to software switch 190 arc immediately and removes welding process, is expressed as a STT process.When short circuit was removed according to the short circuit reset procedure, the voltage on the circuit 172 was transformed to a plasma potential or arc voltage immediately.This situation is higher than threshold value, will make decision-making square 230 that switch 190 is transformed to position 192, with the impulse waveform that realizes controlling by the system that square 240 is represented.Therefore, system 220 does not relate to cycle rate counter, but it detects an actual welding process is transformed to another welding process from a welding process welding parameter.No matter when detect selected parameter, this process will take place rapidly and produce.
In Fig. 3 and 4, system 250 comprises a low heat weld process of representing with square 260.Process A is a low-heat STT welding process.Equally, high hot STT welding process is represented with square 262.Counter 212 makes a STT pulse 260a obtain handling as shown in Figure 4.Count down to the STT pulse 260a of anticipated number at cycle rate counter 212 after, the logic on the circuit 120 is transformed to position 194 with switch 190.As shown in Figure 4, this has just produced STT pulse 262a bigger or high heat.These high thermal pulses are counted according to the selected quantity of counter 212.Like this, the waveform of low-heat and Gao Re STT or the quantity in cycle just can be through overregulating to determine a net quantity of heat in the welding process.
The present invention relates to realize in proper order a kind of twin-stage or the multistage welding machine of significantly different welding processes.Preferably, the duration of these processes is determined by a counter; But, can use a parameter in order between welding process, to carry out conversion.Only representational process has been done discussion, other welding process is realizing that the present invention also can use.
