DESCRIZIONE dell'invenzione industriale dal titolo: DESCRIPTION of the industrial invention entitled:
APPARECCHIATURA PER LA SALDATURA DI TUBAZIONI E RACCORDI DI TUBAZIONI IN MATERIA PLASTICA EQUIPMENT FOR WELDING PIPES AND FITTINGS OF PLASTIC PIPES
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
Il presente trovato si riferisce ad un'apparecchiatura per la saldatura di tubazioni e raccordi di tubazioni in materia plastica . The present invention relates to an apparatus for welding pipes and pipe fittings of plastic material.
Come noto, le tubazioni in materie plastiche, come ad esempio il polietilene o il polipropilene, trovano sempre più diffusamente impiego nella realizzazione di condotte per il trasporto di fluidi . As is known, pipes made of plastics, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, are increasingly used in the construction of pipes for transporting fluids.
Generalmente questa tipologia di tubi viene prodotta in barre di misura standard che vengono poi regolate in lunghezza ed assemblate mediante sistemi che prevedono la fusione delle parti da saldare. Generally this type of pipes is produced in standard size bars which are then adjusted in length and assembled by means of systems that provide for the fusion of the parts to be welded.
Più in dettaglio, i collegamenti fra tubo e tubo e/o fra tubo e raccordo possono essere eseguiti ad esempio tramite processi di saldatura per elettrofusione basati sulla fusione delle superfici esterne dei tubi e/o raccordi e la superficie interna di elementi elettrosaldabili che incorporano resistenze elettriche. More in detail, the connections between pipe and pipe and / or between pipe and fitting can be performed, for example, by means of electrofusion welding processes based on the fusion of the external surfaces of the pipes and / or fittings and the internal surface of electrofusion elements that incorporate resistors. electric.
In altri casi, invece, si preferisce ricorrere a processi di saldatura testa a testa, che consistono nella giunzione di due elementi (tubi e/o raccordi) di uguale diametro e spessore in cui le superfici da saldare sono riscaldate fino a fusione per contatto con un elemento termico e successivamente, dopo l'allontanamento di questo, sono unite a pressione per ottenere la saldatura. In other cases, instead, it is preferred to resort to butt welding processes, which consist in the joining of two elements (pipes and / or fittings) of equal diameter and thickness in which the surfaces to be welded are heated until they melt by contact with a thermal element and subsequently, after the removal of this, they are joined under pressure to obtain the welding.
Altro sistema di unione, sostanzialmente simile al precedente, è quello di polifusione nel bicchiere secondo il quale la giunzione viene ottenuta portando contemporaneamente a fusione le superfici maschio e femmina da saldare tramite apposite apparecchiature riscaldanti meglio note come polifusori. Another joining system, substantially similar to the previous one, is that of polyfusion in the cup according to which the joint is obtained by simultaneously melting the male and female surfaces to be welded by means of special heating equipment better known as polywelers.
È importante evidenziare che indipendentemente dalle tecniche e dagli specifici macchinari utilizzati, il processo di saldatura è un processo speciale a causa delle tante variabili che possono influire sull'affidabilità del giunto e quindi sulla sua capacità di resistere a sollecitazioni ed a mantenere le proprie caratteristiche nel tempo. It is important to highlight that regardless of the techniques and specific machinery used, the welding process is a special process due to the many variables that can affect the reliability of the joint and therefore its ability to withstand stress and maintain its characteristics in the time.
Le implicazioni di sicurezza collegate all'uso della saldatura, soprattutto nel campo degli impianti a pressione, hanno pertanto imposto rigidi criteri sulla garanzia dell'affidabilità delle saldature. The safety implications associated with the use of welding, especially in the field of pressure systems, have therefore imposed strict criteria on guaranteeing the reliability of welds.
Questo, unito al fatto che nell'esecuzione delle saldature assume un rilievo specifico la diligenza professionale di coloro che realizzano il processo, rende fondamentale la possibilità di risalire immediatamente ai parametri di saldatura adottati, all'identità dell'operatore, nonché a tutti gli altri dati significativi . This, combined with the fact that the professional diligence of those who carry out the process takes on specific importance in the execution of the welds, makes it essential to be able to immediately trace the welding parameters adopted, the identity of the operator, as well as all the others. significant data.
Per tale motivo, alcuni operatori del settore prevedono quantomeno la redazione di verbali di saldatura cartacei. For this reason, some operators in the sector at least require the preparation of paper welding reports.
Tuttavia, tali strumenti risultano spesso contenere informazioni incomplete, oltre a risultare evidentemente poco pratici nell'uso. However, these tools often contain incomplete information, as well as being obviously impractical in use.
Si consideri inoltre come i documenti cartacei siano generalmente poco durevoli e stabili. Also consider how paper documents are generally not very durable and stable.
Il compito che si propone il trovato è quello di risolvere i problemi sopra esposti, realizzando un'apparecchiatura per la saldatura di tubazioni e raccordi di tubazioni in materia plastica che consenta di tracciare in maniera stabile e sicura le saldature . The aim of the invention is to solve the aforementioned problems, realizing an apparatus for welding pipes and pipe fittings of plastic material which allows the welds to be traced in a stable and safe manner.
Nell'ambito del compito sopra esposto, uno scopo particolare del trovato è quello di realizzare un'apparecchiatura che consenta di risalire immediatamente ai parametri di saldatura adottati, all'identità di colui che ha eseguito il processo, ed a tutti gli altri dati significativi. Within the scope of the above aim, a particular object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which allows to immediately trace the welding parameters adopted, the identity of the person who carried out the process, and all other significant data.
Un altro scopo del trovato è quello di realizzare un'apparecchiatura che permetta di mantenere sotto controllo la qualità dei manufatti saldati. Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which allows the quality of the welded articles to be kept under control.
Ulteriore scopo del trovato è quello di realizzare un'apparecchiatura che agevoli l'operatività dei processi di saldatura . A further object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which facilitates the operation of the welding processes.
Non ultimo scopo del trovato è quello di realizzare un'apparecchiatura che riduca il rischio di errori nel corretto settaggio dei parametri di saldatura. Not least object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which reduces the risk of errors in the correct setting of the welding parameters.
Il compito sopra esposto, nonché gli scopi accennati ed altri che meglio appariranno in seguito, vengono raggiunti da un' apparecchiatura per la saldatura di tubazioni e raccordi di tubazioni in materia plastica, comprendente almeno una macchina saldatrice atta ad erogare una potenza che permette di fondere parte delle tubazioni e/o dei raccordi da unire; detta apparecchiatura è caratterizzata dal fatto di comprendere un sistema elettronico di controllo e tracciamento della saldatura costituito da mezzi elettronici di identificazione associati alle tubazioni e/o ai raccordi, mezzi elettronici di lettura e/o scrittura dei mezzi elettronici di identificazione e mezzi elettronici di controllo atti ad elaborare i parametri di saldatura provenienti da detti mezzi elettronici di identificazione, ed agire in modo tale da regolare automaticamente le caratteristiche della potenza erogata da detta macchina saldatrice; detti mezzi elettronici di controllo essendo inoltre atti a memorizzare in detti mezzi elettronici di identificazione tutte le informazioni che permettono la tracciabilità della saldatura realizzata. The aforementioned task, as well as the aforementioned purposes and others which will appear better later, are achieved by an apparatus for welding pipes and pipe fittings of plastic material, comprising at least one welding machine capable of delivering a power which allows to melt part of the pipes and / or fittings to be joined; said equipment is characterized in that it comprises an electronic welding control and tracking system consisting of electronic identification means associated with the pipes and / or fittings, electronic reading and / or writing means of the electronic identification means and electronic control means adapted to process the welding parameters coming from said electronic identification means, and to act in such a way as to automatically adjust the characteristics of the power delivered by said welding machine; said electronic control means being moreover able to memorize in said electronic identification means all the information which allows the traceability of the weld made.
Ulteriori caratteristiche e vantaggi risulteranno maggiormente dalla descrizione di una forma di esecuzione preferita, ma non esclusiva, dell'invenzione, illustrata a titolo indicativo e non limitativo negli uniti disegni in cui: Further characteristics and advantages will become clearer from the description of a preferred but not exclusive embodiment of the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings in which:
la figura 1 è una vista prospettica di una apparecchiatura realizzata secondo la presente invenzione. Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus made according to the present invention.
Con riferimento alla figura citata, l'apparecchiatura per la saldatura di tubazioni e raccordi di tubazioni in materia plastica, secondo l'invenzione, indicata globalmente con il numero di riferimento 1, è costituita nella fattispecie da una macchina saldatrice 2, la quale è in grado di erogare una potenza che permette di fondere parte delle tubazioni e/o dei raccordi da unire . With reference to the aforementioned figure, the apparatus for welding pipes and fittings of plastic material pipes, according to the invention, globally indicated with the reference number 1, is constituted in this case by a welding machine 2, which is able to deliver a power that allows you to melt part of the pipes and / or fittings to be joined.
A titolo puramente indicativo, viene rappresentata e descritta una macchina saldatrice 2 adatta ad eseguire saldature per elettrofusione, ovvero idonea a provocare una fusione termica della resistenza elettrica posta all'interno del raccordo 50, in modo da unire le tubazioni 51. Purely by way of indication, a welding machine 2 suitable for carrying out welding by electrofusion, or suitable for causing a thermal melting of the electrical resistance placed inside the fitting 50, is shown and described, so as to join the pipes 51.
Si osservi, tuttavia, che l'oggetto del presente trovato potrebbe riferirsi anche a macchine saldatrici di altro tipo, non illustrate nell'annessa figura, quali ad esempio le saldatrici testa a testa, o i polifusori per la saldatura a bicchiere. It should be noted, however, that the object of the present invention could also refer to welding machines of another type, not shown in the attached figure, such as for example butt welders, or polywelders for socket welding.
Secondo la presente invenzione, l'apparecchiatura 1 è dotata di un sistema elettronico di controllo e tracciamento della saldatura composto da mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 associati alle tubazioni e/o ai raccordi, mezzi elettronici di lettura e/o scrittura 4 dei mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 e mezzi elettronici di controllo 5 costituiti, ad esempio, da una scheda elettronica gestita da microprocessore. According to the present invention, the apparatus 1 is equipped with an electronic welding control and tracking system composed of electronic identification means 3 associated with the pipes and / or fittings, electronic means for reading and / or writing 4 of the electronic means of identification 3 and electronic control means 5 consisting, for example, of an electronic card managed by a microprocessor.
Più particolarmente, i mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 possono essere costituiti, ad esempio, da un transponder o da un tag in grado di memorizzare dati e di trasmetterli e/o riceverli mediante tecnologia RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification). More particularly, the electronic identification means 3 can be constituted, for example, by a transponder or a tag capable of storing data and transmitting and / or receiving them by means of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology.
Opportunamente il transponder comprende un'antenna ed una memoria elettronica che consente al costruttore di memorizzare i parametri di saldatura ed all'operatore di salvare tutte le informazioni che permettono la tracciabilità della saldatura realizzata . Conveniently, the transponder includes an antenna and an electronic memory that allows the manufacturer to memorize the welding parameters and the operator to save all the information that allows the traceability of the weld made.
Nell'esempio illustrato, il tag è inglobato all'interno del raccordo 50, ma secondo differenti forme realizzative potrebbe anche essere costituito da un'etichetta applicata allo stesso raccordo 50 o alle tubazioni 51. In the example illustrated, the tag is incorporated inside the fitting 50, but according to different embodiments it could also consist of a label applied to the same fitting 50 or to the pipes 51.
I mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 sono concepiti per scambiare informazioni tramite i mezzi elettronici di lettura e/o scrittura 4, i quali, oltre ad un dispositivo di trasmissione e ricezione a radiofrequenza, comprendono un dispositivo di codifica/riconoscimento ed una interfaccia utente 6 per la visualizzazione dei parametri di saldatura e per l'inserimento delle informazioni che permettono la tracciabilità della saldatura realizzata. The electronic identification means 3 are designed to exchange information through the electronic reading and / or writing means 4, which, in addition to a radio frequency transmission and reception device, comprise an encoding / recognition device and a user interface 6 for the visualization of the welding parameters and for the insertion of the information that allow the traceability of the welding carried out.
Nella particolare forma di attuazione del trovato illustrata nella figura 1, i mezzi elettronici di lettura e/o scrittura 4 sono inglobati, in tutto od in parte, all'interno di uno dei connettori della macchina saldatrice 2 collegati al raccordo 50. In the particular embodiment of the invention illustrated in Figure 1, the electronic reading and / or writing means 4 are incorporated, in whole or in part, inside one of the connectors of the welding machine 2 connected to the fitting 50.
Sono possibili, tuttavia, soluzioni alternative in cui i mezzi elettronici di lettura e/o scrittura 4 sono costituiti da un'unità periferica dedicata, collegata ai mezzi elettronici di controllo 5 tramite opportuni mezzi di connessione, wired o wireless . However, alternative solutions are possible in which the electronic reading and / or writing means 4 consist of a dedicated peripheral unit, connected to the electronic control means 5 by means of suitable connection means, wired or wireless.
Preferibilmente, le informazioni ed i parametri memorizzati nei mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 sono crittografati, in modo tale da non consentire una loro modifica e/o lettura senza una predeterminata chiave di accesso. Preferably, the information and parameters stored in the electronic identification means 3 are encrypted, so as not to allow their modification and / or reading without a predetermined access key.
Il funzionamento dell'apparecchiatura oggetto dell'invenzione prevede una prima fase di settaggio automatico della macchina saldatrice 2. The operation of the apparatus object of the invention provides for a first phase of automatic setting of the welding machine 2.
In pratica, la macchina saldatrice 2 viene predisposta a funzionare secondo i parametri di saldatura raccomandati dal costruttore per ciascuna tubazione e/o raccordo. In practice, the welding machine 2 is arranged to operate according to the welding parameters recommended by the manufacturer for each pipe and / or fitting.
Tali parametri, memorizzati nei mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3, vengono elaborati dai mezzi elettronici di controllo 5, i quali agiscono in modo tale da modificare le caratteristiche della potenza erogata dalla macchina saldatrice 2. These parameters, stored in the electronic identification means 3, are processed by the electronic control means 5, which act in such a way as to modify the characteristics of the power delivered by the welding machine 2.
Successivamente, dopo l'esecuzione di ciascuna saldatura, nei mezzi elettronici di identificazione 3 vengono memorizzate tutte le informazioni necessarie a rendere tracciabile la saldatura. Subsequently, after each weld has been performed, all the information necessary to make the weld traceable is stored in the electronic identification means 3.
Queste informazioni potranno essere di differente tipologia e natura. Ad esempio, le informazioni memorizzate potranno comprendere il nominativo e/o un codice identificativo dell'operatore che ha eseguito la saldatura, le caratteristiche tecniche della macchina saldatrice 2, oltre al luogo ed alla data. This information may be of a different type and nature. For example, the stored information may include the name and / or an identification code of the operator who performed the welding, the technical characteristics of the welding machine 2, as well as the place and date.
Analogamente, i dati memorizzati potranno comprendere anche informazioni aggiuntive, quali, ad esempio, le condizioni meteorologiche presenti. Similarly, the stored data may also include additional information, such as, for example, the weather conditions present.
Il sistema in oggetto permette pertanto sia di gestire automaticamente la corretta predisposizione della macchina saldatrice 2, sia di rendere tracciabile ciascuna saldatura eseguita. The system in question therefore allows both to automatically manage the correct setting of the welding machine 2, and to make each weld performed traceable.
Si è in pratica constatato come l'invenzione raggiunga il compito e gli scopi prefissati avendo realizzato un'apparecchiatura per la saldatura di tubazioni e raccordi di tubazioni in materia plastica con un innovativo sistema elettronico di controllo e tracciamento della saldatura. In practice it has been found that the invention achieves the intended aim and objects, having provided an apparatus for welding pipes and pipe fittings of plastic material with an innovative electronic control and tracking system of the weld.
Il sistema di controllo oggetto della presente invenzione garantisce di ottimizzare e velocizzare la regolazione della macchina saldatrice, di facilitare in generale l'esecuzione delle saldature ed infine di tenere traccia di tutti gli elementi caratteristici dì queste ultime. The control system object of the present invention guarantees to optimize and speed up the adjustment of the welding machine, to facilitate in general the execution of the welds and finally to keep track of all the characteristic elements of the latter.
Ciò, oltre ad agevolare l'esecuzione dei processi di saldatura, permette di mantenere sotto controllo la qualità dei manufatti saldati. This, in addition to facilitating the execution of the welding processes, allows to keep the quality of the welded products under control.
Un altro vantaggio dell'apparecchiatura oggetto della presente invenzione è costituito dal fatto che permette di ridurre il rischio di errori nel corretto settaggio dei parametri di saldatura. Another advantage of the apparatus object of the present invention is constituted by the fact that it allows to reduce the risk of errors in the correct setting of the welding parameters.
