Description

The output control method of consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply
Technical field
The present invention relates to for the output control method that the slope of the external behavior of the source of welding current is controlled to be the consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply of appropriate value according to welding condition.
Background technology
Fig. 4 is the figure of the external behavior of expression consumable electrode arc welding power source.This figure transverse axis represents the output current Iw of the source of welding current, and the longitudinal axis represents the weldingvoltage Vw of lead-out terminal voltage.External behavior L1, L2 represent the relation between output current Iw and the weldingvoltage Vw, usually, and for descending near straight line to the right.Therefore, external behavior can represent with following formula.
Vw=Kr * (Iw-Ir)+Vr (formula 1)
Wherein, Kr[V/A] be external behavior slope setting value, Ir[A] be the output current a reference value, Vr[V] be the weldingvoltage a reference value.Be worth to set external behavior by setting these.
For example, externally characteristic L1 is the roughly constant voltage characteristic situation of slope setting value Kr=-0.03V/A, and external behavior L2 is the situation vertically downward of slope setting value Kr=-0.1V/A.In consumable electrode arc welding, be very important even obtain occuring the good welding quality that various interference also can be controlled at arc length appropriate value.To the control that arc length maintains appropriate value be called arc length control for this interference.The slope of external behavior is because determine the gain (gain) of arc length control system, so have close relationship with the arc length control system.
Therefore, the slope of external behavior is set according to welding condition, so that the arc length control system is stable.In the past, by diameter, material and the output current (welding wire feeding speed) according to welding method, welding wire, changed the slope of external behavior, adjusted the gain of arc length control system, and sought to stablize.For example, at CO 2In the situation of/MAG welding, external behavior L1 as shown in the drawing is such, is set as slope setting value Kr=-0.03.On the other hand, in the situation of pulse electric arc welding, external behavior L2 as shown in the figure is such, is set as slope setting value Kr=-0.1.Make like this arc length control system stable, conditions at the arc good (for example, with reference to patent documentation 1).
Fig. 5 is the current/voltage oscillogram of consumable electrode AC arc welding.This figure (A) expression polarity switching signal Spn, this figure (B) expression output current Iw, this figure (C) expression weldingvoltage Vw.This figure is the situation that short circuiting arc welding connects, but the situations such as particle transfer welding, spray transfer welding are also roughly the same.The value representation absolute value of output current Iw, weldingvoltage Vw and output voltage E described later, external behavior slope etc. in the following description.Therefore, the large such record of value is the large meaning of absolute value.Describe referring to this figure.
Shown in this figure (A), in consumable electrode AC arc welding, alternately switch Tep during the predetermined electrode straight polarity and predetermined electrode negative polarity according to polarity switching signal Spn during Ten weld.At moment t1, when switching to electrode straight polarity EP, shown in this figure (B), by the output current iw of electrode straight polarity EP, shown in this figure (C), the weldingvoltage Vw of electrode straight polarity EP is applied between welding wire and the mother metal.So among the Ts, shown in this figure (B), output current Iw increases gradually during the short circuit of moment t1~t2, shown in this figure (C), weldingvoltage Vw is the low short-circuit voltage value that has reduced about several V.In the arc period Ta of moment t2~t3, shown in this figure (B), output current Iw reduces gradually, and shown in this figure (C), weldingvoltage Vw is the arc voltage value about tens of V.After this, Ts and arc period Ta during the repetition short circuit are until till Tep finishes during the electrode straight polarity of moment t4.
At moment t4, shown in this figure (A), polarity switching signal Spn is low level, when the output switching of the source of welding current is electrode negative polarity EN, shown in this figure (B), by the output current Iw of electrode negative polarity EN, shown in this figure (C), apply weldingvoltage Vw.With above-mentioned same, repeat during the short circuit of t4~t5 constantly Ts and the arc period Ta of t5~t6 constantly, until till Ten finishes during the electrode negative polarity of t7 constantly.
External behavior in the consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply according to the absolute value of output current Iw and weldingvoltage Vw, is similarly controlled with dc source.Therefore, even in the consumable electrode AC arc welding, the external behavior slope is set to appropriate value according to welding condition and welds (for example with reference to patent documentation 2).
Patent documentation 1: TOHKEMY 2002-254172 communique
Patent documentation 2: TOHKEMY 2004-114088 communique
As mentioned above, in consumable electrode arc welding, in order to obtain good welded condition, the stable of arc length control system is very important.Therefore, by according to welding condition the external behavior slope being set as suitableization of gain (gain) that appropriate value makes the arc length control system.Namely by the external behavior slope being set as the external behavior slope of the particle transfer mode that is fit to electric arc, can obtain good welded condition.Therefore, in the prior art, because CO 2Weld different with welding transition mode in the pulse electric arc welding, so the external behavior slope is set as the value that is suitable for various welding methods.
In consumable electrode AC arc welding, similarly, according to the welding conditions such as kind of quality of parent material, wire feed rate, protective gas the external behavior slope is suitably changed.Welded condition in the time of can obtaining good electrode straight polarity EP thus, but, external behavior slope when keeping electrode straight polarity EP is constant when carrying out the welding of electrode negative polarity, and the arc length control system then is difficult to keep stable because gain (gain) is excessive.Its result compares with the consumable electrode arc welding of direct current, and in the consumable electrode AC arc welding, welded condition becomes labile state easily.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the object of the invention is to, the output control method of the stable consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply of a kind of welded condition that consumable electrode AC arc is welded is provided.
In order to address the above problem, the output control method of the consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply of technical solution of the present invention one, the external behavior slope that is used for alternately switching the source of welding current of the consumable electrode AC arc welding that electrode straight polarity and electrode negative polarity weld according to welding condition control
The said external characteristic slope, when above-mentioned electrode straight polarity, set the first external behavior slope for, set the absolute value second external behavior slope larger than the absolute value of above-mentioned the first external behavior slope when above-mentioned electrode negative polarity for, these first and second external behavior slopes are set according to the mode that makes the welded condition stabilisation under the corresponding respectively polarity.
Technical solution of the present invention two according to the output control method of technical scheme one described consumable electrode AC arc welding power supply, is set above-mentioned the first external behavior slope according to the material of mother metal and the kind of protective gas.
