Description

Arc-welding method and arc welding system
Technical field
The present invention relates to arc-welding method and arc welding system.
Background technology
Fig. 6 is the figure of the example representing existing welding system.Welding system 91 in this figure uses so-called joint close impulse welding connection (stitch pulse welding) to weld.So-called joint close impulse welding connection is inputted and cooling by heat when controlling welding, thus easily suppress the welding method to the heat affecting of mother metal.When using this joint close impulse welding connection, compared with existing plate sheet welding, can weld appearance be improved, reducing welding deformation amount (such as with reference to patent document 1).
Operator 9M automatically carries out arc welding to workpiece 9W, and this operator 9M is by upper arm 93, underarm 94 and wrist portion 95, form for the multiple servomotors (not shown) these being carried out to rotary actuation.
Electric arc welding torch 9T is installed on the fore-end of the wrist portion 95 of operator 9M, for the welding wire 97 of diameter about the 1mm be wound on welding wire spool 96 is exported to the welding position indicated in workpiece 9W.Source of welding current 9WP provides weldingvoltage between electric arc welding torch 9T and workpiece 9W.When workpiece 9W is welded, welding wire 97 is being carried out from the state that the front end of electric arc welding torch 9T is stretched out with the extension elongation of hope.
Cable duct tube 92 have in inside to winding wire device (coilliner) (not shown) that welding wire 97 leads, this cable duct tube 92 is connected to electric arc welding torch 9T.Further, the electric power from source of welding current 9WP and the protective gas from gas container 98 are also all supplied to electric arc welding torch 9T by cable duct tube 92.
Vertical control device (teacher pendant) 9TP as operating unit is so-called packaged type operation board, for setting operation device 9M action, carry out the condition etc. of joint close pulse welding.
Automatics control device 9RC, for the control making operator 9M perform welding action, has master control part, operation control part and servo-driver (not shown) etc. therein.Further, based on operator by hanging down control device 9TP and the operation procedure that indicates, from each servomotor output action control signal of servo-driver to operator 9M, multiple axles of operator 9M are made to rotate respectively.Automatics control device 9RC identifies current location, therefore, it is possible to control the front position of electric arc welding torch 9T due to the output of the encoder (and not shown) by having in servomotor from operator 9M.Further, in weld part, while repeatedly carrying out following illustrated welding, movement, cooling, joint close pulse welding is carried out.
Fig. 7 is the figure for illustration of state when carrying out joint close pulse welding.Welding wire 97 stretches out from the front end of electric arc welding torch 9T.Protective gas G always blows out from electric arc welding torch 9T with constant flow from welding at the end of welding.Below, each state during involutory seam pulse welding is described.
Situation when this figure (a) represents that electric arc occurs.Based on set welding current and weldingvoltage, electric arc a occurs between the front end of welding wire 97 and workpiece 9W, welding wire 97 melts thus form melting tank Y on workpiece 9w.After there is electric arc a, after indicated weld interval, stop electric arc a.
This figure (b) represents the situation after electric arc stopping.Until through set cool time after electric arc stops, the state after welding will be kept.That is, under the state that operator 9M and electric arc welding torch 9T stops in the same manner as the state in time welding, just blow out protective gas G from electric arc welding torch 9T, therefore, melting tank Y in fact protected gas G cools thus solidifies.
This figure (c) represents makes electric arc welding torch 9T move to the situation of next welding position.Cool time, through later, makes electric arc welding torch 9T move to the position of the moving interval Mp preset of being separated by and electric arc starts place again at welding direct of travel.Translational speed is now the translational speed be set.Moving interval Mp, by the distance after adjusting, makes welding wire 97 be positioned at the outer circumferential side of the weld mark Y ' after melting tank Y solidifies as shown in this figure (c).
This figure (d) represents again to start at electric arc the situation that place makes electric arc a again occur.Again form melting tank Y in the leading section of weld mark Y ' thus weld.Like this, in joint close pulse welding system 91, the state that alternate repetition generation electric arc thus carry out welds and carrying out cools and the state of movement.So, form welding bead in the mode of weld mark and scale overlap.
Fig. 8 is the figure for illustration of the welding bead formed after welding procedure.As shown in the drawing, start place P1 at first electric arc and form weld mark Sc, again start place P2 at the electric arc being spaced moving interval Mp towards welding direct of travel Dr and also form same weld mark Sc.After electric arc starts place P3 again, order forms weld mark Sc further.Like this, form the scale as weld mark Sc in an overlapping manner, consequently define lepidiod welding bead B.
In the methods described above, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), Fig. 7 (c) etc., repeatedly carry out making electric arc a stop, again making the recurrent step of electric arc a afterwards.Want electric arc a is occurred again, need the time.Therefore, in the above-mentioned methods, there is longer problem weld interval.Thus, as shown in Figure 9, a kind of welding method (such as with reference to patent document 2) not making electric arc a stop and then just not need electric arc a again to occur is proposed.
As shown in Fig. 9 (b), Fig. 9 (c), different from the situation shown in Fig. 7 (b), Fig. 7 (c), not making electric arc a stop when cooling melting tank Y yet, keeping electric arc a to continue the state occurred.Thus, the shortening of weld interval can be realized.
But, as shown in Fig. 9 (b), Fig. 9 (c), when cooling melting tank Y, need to prevent molten drop from moving to make welding current extremely little.If welding current diminishes, then likely there is electric arc when cooling melting tank Y and interrupt.When there is electric arc interruption, interrupt if usually there is electric arc, again electric arc a occurs immediately.Likely splash when the generation again of this electric arc a, thus cause the deterioration of lepidiod welding bead outward appearance.

This figure (a) represents the variable condition of automatics translational speed VR, b () represents the variable condition of current settings signal Is, c () represents the variable condition of welding current Iw, (d) represents the variable condition of giving speed Fw.Automatics translational speed VR is the translational speed of the welding direct of travel (the welding direct of travel Dr of the prior art shown in corresponding diagram 8) that welding torch 14 specifies among direction in the face of welding base metal W.
First, by the welding commencing signal St (with reference to Fig. 2) of input from outside, the welding generally carrying out transition starts process.Start in process in welding, control circuit 21 exports output commencing signal On to output control circuit 31 and gives control circuit 34.Output control circuit 31 applies weldingvoltage Vw between welding wire 15 and welding base metal W.Thus, electric arc a is formed.Further the duration of, as shown in Figure 3, by repeatedly carrying out droplet transitions period T1 and electric arc, T2 welds.In droplet transitions period T1, carry out droplet transitions by flowing through welding current Iw1, and form melting tank.On the other hand, electric arc duration in T2, by flowing through welding current Iw2, carry out droplet transitions hardly, and while pilot arc a, make welding torch 14 move.Below be specifically described.
(1) droplet transitions period T1 (moment t1 ~ t2)
In droplet transitions period T1, carry out the process of the melting tank Y in the explanation as prior art shown in Fig. 7 (a), Fig. 9 (a).In droplet transitions period T1, as shown in Fig. 3 (a), automatics translational speed VR is set as 0.Therefore, welding torch 14 is in halted state relative to welding base metal W.As shown in this figure (c), as welding current Iw, the mean value flowing through absolute value is the alternating-current pulse welding current Iw1 of current value iw1.In droplet transitions period T1, carry out constant voltage control.In constant voltage controls, if determined by the welding condition such as extension elongation, polarity of electrode of the material of welding wire 15, diameter, welding wire 15, then welding current Iw can the speed Fw that give of welding wire 15 according to this figure (d) determine.That is, the rate setting signal Ws that gives that welding current Iw1 gives speed Fw by setting sets.In droplet transitions period T1, welding wire 15 is fed to the speed Fw that gives of fw1.Fw1 is such as 650 ~ 1000cm/min.In addition, droplet transitions period T1 is such as 0.4 ~ 0.5sec.
Fig. 4 is the figure of the time variations representing welding current Iw1 in detail.In figure 3, although simply illustrate welding current Iw1 for the ease of understanding, in fact welding current Iw1 is the alternating pulsing current shown in Fig. 4.Current value iw1 in current value iw1 and Fig. 3 in Fig. 4 is consistent.Time scale in Fig. 4 is very little compared with the time scale in Fig. 3.In the diagram, the longitudinal axis of welding current Iw is represented, using welding wire 15 for the electric current flow through during anode is as " just ".
Known according to this figure, welding current Iw1 respectively has an electrode straight polarity electric current I ep and Electrode Negative electric current I en in cycle T e.Cycle T e is such as about 20ms.Electrode straight polarity electric current I ep is the electric current flow through under the state that welding wire 15 is anode, welding base metal W is negative electrode.Electrode straight polarity electric current I ep comprises: positive polarity peak point current Ipp, positive polarity base current Ipb.Positive polarity peak point current Ipp flows through at electrode straight polarity period Tpp.Electrode straight polarity period Tpp is such as 2msec.The absolute value Iepp of positive polarity peak point current Ipp is such as 300 ~ 350A.On the other hand, positive polarity base current Ipb flows through at electrode straight polarity period Tpb.Electrode straight polarity period Tpb is such as 14msec.The absolute value of positive polarity base current Ipb is such as 50 ~ 100A.
Electrode Negative electric current I en is the electric current flow through under the state that welding wire 15 is negative electrode, welding base metal W is anode.Electric current negative polarity electric current I en flows through at Electrode Negative period Ten.Electrode Negative period Ten is such as 3.0 ~ 4.0msec.The absolute value Ienp of Electrode Negative electric current I en is such as 50 ~ 100A.
Positive polarity peak point current Ipp, positive polarity base current Ipb, Electrode Negative electric current I en, electrode straight polarity period Tpp and Electrode Negative period Ten are set as setting.Carry out FEEDBACK CONTROL at electrode straight polarity period Tpb, make the mean value of weldingvoltage equal with prespecified weldingvoltage setting value.Be desired value by this control by the length setting of electric arc a.It is consistent with current value iw1 that the absolute value aligning polarity peak electric current I pp, positive polarity base current Ipb and Electrode Negative electric current I en carries out the value that time average obtains.Current value iw1 is such as 90A.
(2) T2 (moment t2 ~ t3) duration of electric arc
The electric arc shown in Fig. 3 duration in T2, carry out the process of the cooling melting tank Y in the explanation as prior art shown in Fig. 9 (b), (c), make electric arc a continue simultaneously.The duration of electric arc, T2 is such as 0.2 ~ 0.3sec.
The duration of (i) electric arc T2 beginning ~ to electric arc a eliminate during (moment t2 ~ tv1)
As shown in Fig. 3 (a), electric arc duration, during the beginning of T2 and moment t2, automatics translational speed VR is set as V2.Thus, welding torch 14 starts mobile along the welding direct of travel of regulation.V2 is such as 100cm/min.Different from droplet transitions period T1, electric arc duration, carry out constant current controlling in T2.As shown in this figure (b), current settings signal Is is set to: flow through as welding current Iw the constant current (that is, the mean value of absolute value is current value is1) that current value is is1.Therefore, as shown in this figure (c), flow through as welding current Iw the constant welding current Iw2 that current value is is1.
Current value is1 is such as about 15 ~ 20A.Current value is1 is the little value to being difficult to carry out droplet transitions of degree.In addition, welding current Iw2 is flow through, so-called electrode straight polarity electric current under the state that welding wire 15 is anode, welding base metal W is negative electrode.As shown in this figure (d), give speed Fw to give welding wire 15 with fw2.Fw2 is less than fw1, such as, be 70cm/min.
(ii) electric arc a eliminate ~ to next droplet transitions period, T1 started time during (moment tv1 ~ t3)
At moment tv1, because unexpected reason electric arc a eliminates.So as shown in this figure (c), welding current Iw becomes 0.The current detection circuit 32 of Fig. 2 by welding current Iw be 0 current detection signal Id export electric arc to and eliminate testing circuit 33.Electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 and is judged that welding current Iw is 0 according to the current detection signal Id of input.Then, electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 and is judged that electric arc a eliminates.So electric arc is eliminated signal Sa and is exported output control circuit 31 and control circuit 21 to by electric arc elimination testing circuit 33.
As mentioned above, electric arc eliminates testing circuit 33 when receiving welding current Iw and being the current detection signal Id of 0, is not judged as that electric arc a eliminates immediately.Have passed through regulation time delay the current detection signal Id being 0 from input welding current Iw after, when electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 still to receive welding current Iw is the current detection signal Id of 0, be judged as that electric arc a eliminates.Dt2 time delay duration of preferred electric arc in T2 is shorter than dt1 time delay in droplet transitions period T1.Such as dt2 time delay is set as 20 ~ 50ms, such as, dt2 time delay is set as 100ms.
When control circuit 21 receives electric arc elimination detection signal Sa, change and give rate setting signal Ws, making to give speed Fw is 0.Thus, as shown in this figure (d), the speed Fw of giving is 0, stops giving of welding wire 15.On the other hand, when output control circuit 31 receives electric arc elimination signal Sa, make exporting change to (OFF) state of closedown.Stop this step giving or the output of output control circuit 31 changed to closed condition of welding wire 15, the state eliminated in order to pilot arc a is carried out.Want the state that pilot arc a eliminates, giving of welding wire 15 may not be made to stop completely, and do not need to make the exporting change of output control circuit 31 to closed condition.Also with can the degree of state eliminated of pilot arc a, can continue to give welding wire 15, and the output of output control circuit 31 be maintained opening.As shown in this figure (a), at moment tv1 ~ moment t3, automatics translational speed VR also maintains V2 all the time.Therefore, even if in tv1 ~ t3, welding torch 14 does not also stop, and moves along the welding direct of travel of regulation.
(iii) next droplet transitions period T1 (moment t3 ~ t4)
As shown in this figure (a), at moment t3, automatics translational speed VR is set as 0, stops the movement of welding torch 14.In addition, as shown in this figure (d), the speed Fw of giving is set as the fw3 less than fw1, starts giving of welding wire 15.Then, by making the output of output control circuit 31 be in unlatching (ON) state, electric arc a is occurred again.In order to make electric arc a again occur, various arc starting method can be adopted.As this arc starting method such as can adopt make welding wire 15 contact weld mother metal W after contraction start method that welding wire 15 is separated from welding base metal W.Also electric arc when again there is electric arc a can be made to start condition, the condition that starts from electric arc when there is electric arc a in the arc welding carried out before the moment tv1 that electric arc a eliminates is different.As this electric arc condition that starts be such as start electric current size or flow through and start time of electric current.Further, after electric arc a occurs, as shown in this figure (d), make to give speed Fw and be changed to fw1.And then again carry out arc welding.
Next, the effect of present embodiment is described.
According to the present embodiment, the duration of sequentially repeatedly carrying out droplet transitions period T1 and electric arc when not eliminating electric arc a when T2, perfect flakey welding bead can be formed.And then, according to the present embodiment, even if when electric arc duration, the moment tv1 electric arc a of T2 eliminates once in a while, do not need before the t3 of droplet transitions period T1 again, electric arc a again to occur from moment tv1 yet.Therefore, it is possible to avoid the deterioration of the welding bead outward appearance produced when again there is electric arc a before moment tv1 to t3.Thereby, it is possible to form more perfectly flakey welding bead.
According to the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3 (a), in droplet transitions period T1, welding torch 14 is stopped relative to welding base metal W, only electric arc duration, in T2, welding torch 14 is moved relative to welding base metal W.This is just being suitable for forming outward appearance more perfectly welding bead.
In addition, even if in moment tv1 ~ t3, welding torch 14 does not also stop, and moves along the welding direct of travel of regulation.Therefore, it is possible to above-mentioned welding torch 14 to be moved to quickly the position starting droplet transitions period T1.Thereby, it is possible to shorten the time required in welding.
As shown in this figure (c), under the state that moment tv1 welding wire 15 is separated with welding base metal W, electric arc a eliminates, and welding current Iw becomes 0, and current detection circuit 33 detects that welding current Iw becomes 0.This structure is suitable for detecting electric arc a and eliminates.
In addition, when dt2 time delay in T2 duration of electric arc is set than in droplet transitions period T1 time delay, dt1 was short, more promptly can stop giving welding wire 15, or the output of output control circuit 31 is changed to closed condition.Therefore, by setting shorter than dt1 time delay in droplet transitions period T1 by dt2 time delay in T2 duration of electric arc, can promptly stop welding wire 15 close to welding base metal W further.Thereby, it is possible to the state of reliably pilot arc a elimination further.
When eliminating at moment tv1 electric arc a, stop giving of welding wire 15 completely.In addition, when eliminating at moment tv1 electric arc a, the output of output control circuit 31 is changed to closed condition.Therefore, the not accessible welding base metal W of welding wire 15 after electric arc a eliminates.That is, the structure involved by present embodiment is suitable for the state that pilot arc a eliminates.
In the present embodiment, again there is not electric arc a in T2 electric arc duration, and when droplet transitions period, T1 started, electric arc a occurs again.Therefore, in order to again there is electric arc a, various arc starting method can be adopted.Thus, as the arc starting method for again there is electric arc a, the method being more difficult to occur to splash of such as shrinking start method etc. can be adopted.
As shown in Figure 4, welding current Iw1 is alternating pulsing current.Therefore, it is possible to the input heat of welding base metal W in suppression droplet transitions period T1.This is suitable for the situation that welding base metal W is such as the thin plate be made up of aluminium.
In addition, welding current Iw2 is the electric current of so-called electrode straight polarity.Welding current Iw2 if welding wire 15 be negative electrode, welding base metal W be anode state under the Electrode Negative electric current that flows through, then the fusing amount of welding wire 15 is more, so just easily produces molten drop and easily drops on problem on welding base metal W.But, in the present embodiment, because welding current Iw2 is not Electrode Negative electric current but electrode straight polarity electric current, the generation of this problem can therefore be suppressed.
In addition, method involved in the present invention is used under the state that also can tilt relative to horizontal direction at welding base metal W.So, molten drop not easily drops on welding base metal W.Its result can form more perfectly welding bead.
Fig. 5 represents the 2nd embodiment of the present invention.In addition, in the figure, symbol same as described above is invested for the key element identical or similar with above-mentioned embodiment.The moment t4 of present embodiment after electric arc a eliminates, makes current settings signal Is rise to current value is2 from current value is1, different from the 1st embodiment in this.
Have input at moment tv1 the control circuit 21 that electric arc eliminates Fig. 2 of signal Sa, by making at moment t4 current settings signal Is rise to is2 from current value is1, thus carrying out the step that makes current settings signal Is increase.Control circuit 21 exports the current settings signal Is after rising to current value is2 from current value is1 to output control circuit 31.When input rises to the current settings signal Is of current value is2, output control circuit 31, as shown in this figure (c), flows through welding current Iw2 with current value is2.
In addition, current value is2 compared with current value is1, such as large about 1 ~ 10A.In addition, also can when electric arc a eliminates again after moment t4, current settings signal Is be made to increase further.
According to the present embodiment, the duration of electric arc after moment t4 in T2, welding current Iw2 flows through with current value is2.Therefore, the duration of electric arc after moment t4 in T2, electric arc a not easily eliminates.Thus, the necessity making electric arc a again occur after moment t4 reduces.Thus, can suppress welding base metal W splashes.Its result, can make the outward appearance of the flakey welding bead that welding base metal W is formed more perfect according to the present embodiment.
In addition, present embodiment also has the advantage identical with the 1st embodiment.
In the present embodiment, although illustrate moment tv1 only once electric arc a eliminate the example just making current settings signal Is increase, also can only make current settings signal Is increase when electric arc a many times eliminates.By only making current settings signal Is rise when electric arc a eliminates for many times, thus welding current Iw2 can be suppressed excessively to become large.Thereby, it is possible to suppress electric arc duration in T2 welding wire 15 or welding base metal W melt.
As long as having eliminated according to electric arc a makes current settings signal Is rise, current settings signal Is may not be made to increase at moment t4.Such as, also can electric arc duration T2 process in make current settings signal Is increase.Or also current settings signal Is can be made to increase at moment t6.
Scope of the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment.Concrete structure of the present invention freely can carry out the change in various design.In the above-described embodiment, although by being 0 detect electric arc and eliminate with welding current, such as, also to have taken the image of part that electric arc occurs or the change of image is resolved, and then the elimination of electric arc can be detected.Or, the large threshold voltage (being such as the value more smaller than non-load voltage) of obtainable value more usual than weldingvoltage Vw is set by T2 the electric arc duration, when weldingvoltage Vw exceedes this threshold voltage, be judged as that electric arc is eliminated, and then detect the elimination of electric arc.
In addition, although in order to form more perfectly welding bead outward appearance, preferably at droplet transitions period T1, automatics translational speed VR is set as 0, the present invention is not limited to this.Such as, also the automatics translational speed VR in droplet transitions period T1 can be set as the value little and larger than 0 than the automatics translational speed VR (V2) in T2 duration of electric arc.Further, also suitably can adjust T2 duration of droplet transitions period T1 and electric arc according to automatics translational speed VR.
In above-mentioned, although illustrate the example that welding current Iw1 is alternating pulsing current, the present invention is not limited to this, and welding current Iw1 also can be the constant current etc. of direct current.Certainly, for welding current Iw2 too.
