Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pipe welding apparatus, with the features specified in the preamble of the independent claim, as by the JP 60231526 A known.
  • a large part of the existing metal pipes is produced by continuous longitudinal seam welding.
  • a tape is unwound from a coil, formed in several roll stands to a round slotted tube and welded.
  • the strip edges are heated to welding temperature and compressed in a welding roll stand so that they weld together.
  • the welding roll stand has to meet a number of requirements for producing a high quality pipe.
  • the pipe itself must be guided very precisely to prevent deviations from the ideal pipe axis. Even a small deviation can cause a displacement of the strip edges in the region of the weld zone, which leads to significant quality losses.
  • the strip edges may only be compressed so far, ie compressed, that only a minimum amount of material is forced out of the weld. If this quantity is too large, the result is a correspondingly high loss of material, because the resulting so-called burr on the weld must be removed again in a further work step. on the other hand It must be ensured that the weld seam is produced precisely over the entire cross-section without any defects and that the material is welded through.
  • a pipe welding apparatus of the type mentioned above therefore has to have a variety of options for setting and guiding the pressure rollers for producing a tube of high quality.
  • the DE 32 12 365 C2 discloses an arrangement of three rollers with which the tube formed from the metal strip is guided almost over the entire circumference.
  • the lower two rollers are inclined here, the upper roller is formed divided.
  • the resulting from the upper roller two rolling discs can be pivoted to each other by an adjustable angle.
  • the width of the center groove between the two discs of the upper roller can be adjusted continuously in dependence on the wall thickness of the molded tube.
  • the above requirements can not be fully satisfied even with such an arrangement.
  • the welding roller frame has two horizontally arranged lateral pressure rollers and a Pair of upper pressure rollers on. All roller axes lie in one plane.
  • the upper pressure rollers can be moved synchronously horizontally both individually and synchronously vertically and / or in the same direction and in opposite directions, in order to bring the upper pressure rollers into the required position.
  • the upper pressure rollers are mounted for this purpose in carriages with vertical and horizontal guides, and the adjustment is carried out by threaded spindles.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object , a pipe welding apparatus of the type mentioned so that the above requirements for the production of longitudinal seam tubes can be met with high quality.
  • first carriage and the second carriage is associated with at least one horizontal guide and at least one vertical guide. This results in a simple construction for horizontal and vertical movement of both carriages.
  • the movement of the carriage is carried out with linear actuators, for vertical adjustment of the first carriage with advantage two parallel threaded spindle nut systems are provided, whereby a tilt-free guidance of large elements is ensured, which is driven by two gear, the be driven by a common motor. It can be arranged between the two transmissions, preferably worm gear, a clutch.
  • adjustment and locking means can be provided with which the respective elements can be adjusted to each other in position and set.
  • This configuration is preferably provided only between the first carriage and the second carriage, wherein the adjustment and locking the two carriages in the vertical direction to each other set in position and set.
  • a position adjusting and locking means is suitable e.g. an adjustable wedge; this can be connected to displacement means, so that a simple positioning of the wedge is possible.
  • the displacement means may have a screw.
  • FIGURE schematically shows a tube welding device with a view in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the manufactured tube.
  • a pipe 2 has been formed from a flat sheet metal strip, resulting in a seam 4 on the tube 2, which is welded to the device 1.
  • the tube 2 runs continuously in the direction of the longitudinal axis 3 of the tube 2 through the device 1.
  • the pipe welding device 1 has a base plate 5, which is arranged stationary. On the base plate 5, a first carriage 6 is arranged. This is about two horizontal linear guides 16 and two vertical linear guides 17 in two mutually orthogonal directions (horizontal and vertical) relative to the base plate 5 movable.
  • linear movement elements are provided, namely a threaded nut-nut system 20 for the horizontal displacement of the first carriage 6 relative to the base plate 5 and a threaded nut-nut system 21 for the corresponding vertical displacement.
  • linear actuators 20, 21 are shown only very schematically, because this is well-known in the art elements. Only with respect to the threaded spindle nut system 21 is sketched somewhat more detailed that here two parallel threaded spindles 21 are provided which move the carriage 6 relative to the base plate 5 vertically. Tilting of the first carriage 6 is thereby avoided.
  • the drive of the spindles 21 takes place by two gear 24 and 25, which are connected to each other via a coupling 26.
  • the drive itself is done by a motor 23 which drives both gears 24 and 25.
  • a first pressure roller 7 is arranged in the lower region of the first carriage 6, a first pressure roller 7 is arranged. Their axis 10 is arranged rotated relative to the horizontal by a pivot angle ⁇ . Thus, the first pressure roller 7 rolls in the region of the seam 4 of the tube 2 to the left of the seam 4 on the tube 2, whereby an accurate guidance of this angle segment of the tube 2 is ensured.
  • first carriage 6 With the first carriage 6 two horizontal guides 18 and two vertical guides 19 are connected, via which a second carriage 8 is guided relative to the first carriage 6 movable.
  • second carriage 8 On the second carriage 8 - analogous to the first pressure roller 7 - a second pressure roller 9 is arranged, which leads to the right next to the seam 4 of this adjacent angular segment of the tube 2 exactly.
  • the axis 11 of the second pressure roller 9 is pivoted mirror image to the axis 10 of the first pressure roller 7 by the angle ⁇ .
  • the movement of the second carriage 8 relative to the first carriage 6 is effected - as far as the horizontal movement is concerned - via a threaded nut-nut system 22, the same applies what was done in connection with the systems 20 and 21 above.
  • the vertical adjustment and locking of the second carriage 8 relative to the first carriage 6 by means of a wedge 27, which communicates with only very schematically sketched displacement means 28 in connection.
  • horizontal displacement of the wedge eg by means of a screw, not shown
  • the relative vertical position between the first and second slide 6 and 8 can be adjusted and locked.
