Description

Feeding buffer device and welding system
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a feeding buffer device and a welding system using the same.
Background
In robot automatic welding, welding is performed for a long time without interruption because of high welding speed, high fuse efficiency, and wide welding range, and therefore, a dedicated wire feeding device must be used to feed the welding wire. Currently, there are two main types of mainstream packaging forms of automatic welding wire: wire coil and barrel wire.
The wire coil is formed by winding welding wire into a flat disc-shaped wire coil and then placing the wire coil into a circular metal or plastic disc. The wire coil has the advantages of high utilization rate of package volume, convenient transportation and storage, difficult winding and suitability for high-speed and high-efficiency wire feeding. The specification types of the wire coil are more, the single-disc quality is different from a plurality of kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, and various types of wire feeding mechanisms can be matched for use in the market. However, since the wire coil needs to rotate along with the release of the welding wire in the wire feeding process, the wire feeding mechanism must overcome the inertia of the rotation of the wire coil and adjust the rotation speed in time to adapt to different wire feeding speeds. This requires a strong driving force and control capability for the wire feeding mechanism, and particularly for large-mass wire coils, it is more necessary to introduce complicated wire feeding assisting devices and buffering mechanisms to ensure smooth wire feeding.
The barrel wire is formed by winding welding wires into a multi-layer annular large-sized wire coil, and then directly putting the wire coil into a cylindrical metal or plastic barrel. The barrel wire has the advantages that the single barrel has large mass, can reach hundreds of kilograms generally, and is suitable for long-time and durable welding. And because the barrel wire does not need to rotate in the wire feeding process, the welding wires are only released outwards layer by layer from the inner ring, so the wire drawing resistance is small, and the wire feeding mechanism is relatively simple. However, the barrel yarn has some disadvantages such as low utilization rate of package volume, inconvenient transportation and storage, and easy occurrence of winding due to loose winding.
For arc welding of a production nature, especially arc additive manufacturing (EAM), the current mainstream option is to use barreled welding wire, as a large amount of welding wire is required to permanently use to build up the metallic material. However, barreled welding wire does not meet the high demands of EAM for welding quality and efficiency, and so some high quality wire-feeding solutions have also emerged in the market in recent years. These schemes generally employ an actively driven disc wire feeder and a swing arm/chute buffer mechanism, and acquire real-time welding speed by establishing communication with the welding system, and control the disc wire feeder speed to match the wire feeder speed in time with a relatively uniform acceleration. Thus, stable wire feeding of the large-mass disc type wire feeding mechanism can be realized, and the quality and efficiency of EAM are improved. However, the scheme also has some problems, such as the need of establishing communication between the wire feeding power assisting system and the welding system, and the prior barrel type wire feeding system cannot be directly replaced; and in actual use, the risk of delayed speed response of the disc type wire feeding mechanism is still caused, and the disc type wire feeding mechanism can be loosened, and the like.

Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment is provided as follows, and it should be noted that examples provided herein are provided to illustrate the concept and principles of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
In order to avoid the above-mentioned problems in the background art, a scheme is provided in which the wire feeding speed is measured and judged by providing a speed indicating unit, and then the wire feeding speed is adjusted by a wire feeding unit, so that the welding wire feeding requirement is satisfied. In particular, a storage device, such as an existing wire storage device, may be included, and in particular the wire storage device described in the background or prior art may be employed.
During operation, the welding wire is connected to the wire feeding unit, the welding wire is drawn to enter a preset position, and the welding wire enters the welding machine. In order to meet the welding requirements, the running speed of the welding wire is changed, so that the wire feeding speed needs to be adjusted. For this embodiment a speed indication unit is added. The welding wire passes through the speed indicating unit, so that the physical quantity of the speed indicating unit, such as the position, is moved, the running speed of the current welding wire can be obtained, and then the working state of the wire feeding unit can be adjusted, such as the wire feeding speed is increased or reduced, so that the wire feeding speed meets the welding requirement. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a speed indicating unit and a ranging unit that detects the speed indicating unit physical quantity change information are provided.
Specifically, the speed of the wire is indicated by the weight of the speed indicating means itself. In other words, the speed of the welding wire forms momentum, the position of the speed indicating unit is changed, the current speed information of the welding wire can be obtained by detecting the position change information, and then the wire feeding speed is adjusted to enable the speed indicating unit to return to a preset position. In one case, the wire passes through the speed indicator unit, and the wire can move the speed indicator unit up or down (component in the vertical direction) as long as the speed indicator unit has a component in the vertical direction. For example, the speed is fast, the force of the welding wire to the speed indicating unit is increased, the speed indicating unit moves upwards, and at the moment, the wire feeding speed is adjusted to increase the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding hole of the speed indicating unit, so that the speed indicating unit returns to the preset position. In other embodiments, the weight may be equivalently replaced by an elastic structure, i.e. an elastic force field or the like is used instead of the gravitational field.
In a further preferred embodiment, the speed indication unit is arranged with a weight component in the vertical direction at least by itself or externally connecting other structural units with a weight component in the vertical direction in order to achieve the intended purpose. In addition, a threading channel comprising a threading hole and a threading hole is required to be arranged, and the threading channel is arranged in a manner that the welding wire can give the speed indication unit an upward momentum, so that the position state of the speed indication unit is changed, and when the welding wire speed is increased and the wire feeding speed is not kept up, an upward pulling force is given to the speed indication unit, and after the wire feeding speed is increased, the pulling force to the speed indication unit is reduced. In other words, as the wire accelerates, the speed on both sides is unbalanced, and the wire is stressed or pulled between the wire exit and wire entrance, which force acts on the speed indicating unit, changing the position of the speed indicating unit. When the wire feeding speed is increased or decreased to be balanced, the acting force applied by the speed indicating unit is changed.
Therefore, the running route of the welding wire between the speed indicating units is designed, and the included angle theta between the axis of at least the wire outlet hole and the horizontal direction is 0 degrees less than or equal to 180 degrees. If the axis of the wire outlet is at 0 or 180 to the horizontal and there is no swivel or bend inside the wire passage, no vertical charge is provided. In some embodiments, powering the speed indicating unit may be accomplished by forming an endless wire feed path.
When the working end increases the speed of pulling the welding wire during operation, the movable plate moves upwards along the guide shaft. After the distance between the distance measuring sensor and the movable plate is shortened, the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding bracket is increased, and thus the movable plate moves downwards until the distance measuring sensor is stabilized within a set range. When the working end reduces the speed of pulling the welding wire, the movable plate moves downwards along the guide shaft. After the distance measuring sensor detects that the distance between the distance measuring sensor and the movable plate is prolonged, the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding bracket is reduced, and thus the movable plate moves upwards until the distance measuring sensor is stabilized within a set range. The movable plate moves up and down to keep dynamic balance, and the movable range of the movable plate is the buffer area of the device.
In a further embodiment, in order to limit the speed indicating unit, the stability of the movement of the speed indicating unit is improved by setting a limiting unit and a sliding pair, specifically, a frame can be adopted to form a body, and then a linear bearing or a sliding seat is arranged, so that the speed indicating unit moves along a preset direction, the movement is more stable, and the position of the speed indicating unit is convenient to measure.
In a further embodiment, at least two female connectors may be provided for engaging the wire feed hole and the wire discharge hole in order to facilitate the passage of the welding wire through the speed indicating unit. The wire passage is preferably provided non-kinking and has an arcuate region to avoid wire damage. In order to enable the welding wire to extend as long as possible in the speed indication unit, the radius of the arc-shaped bending is increased, the curvature of the bending part is reduced, the wire penetrating channel extends along the length direction of the speed indication unit, and the axes of the wire inlet hole and the wire outlet hole are parallel to the movement direction of the speed indication unit. In other words, after entering from one end of the speed indicating unit, the welding wire turns to the other end of the speed indicating unit through an arc bend, then passes through the other end of the speed indicating unit after being bent through an arc bend, and the wire feeding direction is parallel to the axis where the wire discharging direction is located.
In a further embodiment, a counterweight may be added to the speed indicating unit in order to make the speed indicating unit more sensitive, i.e. the welding wire applies a smaller force to the speed indicating unit, i.e. to bring the speed indicating unit into position movement.
In a further embodiment, a spring or rubber cushion is added above the base in order to avoid that the speed indication unit hits the base when it is lowered to the bottom.
In a further embodiment, if the direction of the speed indicating unit is adjusted, such as being placed horizontally, the gravitational field may be equivalently replaced by adding an elastic unit. Specifically, the speed indicating unit comprises at least one threading channel extending along the length direction thereof, and an elastic unit fixed with the speed indicating unit and extending and contracting along the moving direction thereof.
In a further embodiment, the wire feeding unit comprises at least a power section for carrying the wire fed from the wire storage device and for powering the wire support section for the wire feeding operation.
A detailed embodiment is given below in conjunction with fig. 2 to 7 to illustrate the implementation and details of the present application.

Welding wires enter the wire feeding unit from the first guide pipe and enter through the wire inlet, and the wire inlet can be in a horn shape. An annular sensor is arranged at the wire inlet and used for judging whether welding wires exist or not and preventing idle running. The wire moves forward through the wire carriage, out through the second conduit, and into the speed indicating unit. The power source of the wire feeding unit is a motor and a speed reducer. After passing through the speed indicating unit, the welding wire is conveyed to the welding wire device through a third guide pipe and a tail joint.

The main body is formed by a frame to mount and configure the related units. Guiding is achieved by a female connector and a male connector.
The welding wire enters the wire feeding bracket through the guide pipe after coming out of the storage device, enters the female connector arranged on the movable plate through the guide pipe and the male connector after coming out of the wire feeding bracket, enters the male connector arranged on the movable plate after passing through the guide pipe arranged on the movable plate, then enters the female connector, and then is sent into the working end through the guide pipe. The movable plate depends on self gravity and the silk threads in the movable plate are suspended in the half space. The working process is that when the working end starts to accelerate wire drawing, the movable plate moves upwards, the distance sensor detects that the distance between the movable plate and the movable plate is shortened, and at the moment, the wire feeding bracket starts to accelerate work to pull out wires from the storage device, so that the movable plate moves downwards. When the wire drawing speed of the working end is reduced, the movable plate moves downwards, the distance sensor detects that the distance between the movable plate and the wire drawing speed is increased, and at the moment, the wire feeding bracket is decelerated, so that the movable plate moves upwards. The distance range of the movable plate moving up and down is the buffer space between the working end and the storage device. The movable plate moves up and down to realize dynamic balance of the buffer area.
The ranging unit 4 may be implemented using a ranging sensor.
