Description

  The present invention relates to improvement of a method for terminating arc welding in which two consumable electrodes (hereinafter referred to as wires) are fed and welded in one torch in consumable electrode arc welding.

  In the construction of various welded structures, thin plate high-speed welding or thick plate high-weld welding is performed to improve work efficiency. To further improve the efficiency, as shown in FIG. A consumable electrode arc welding method of a two-electrode, one-torch system that feeds a wire is employed. In the figure, the leading wire tip 3a is supplied from a welding power source (not shown) between the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2 and the workpiece 8 and fed from the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2, respectively. And arcs 5 and 6 are generated from the trailing wire tip 4a, respectively. The nozzle 10 surrounds the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2 and supplies a shielding gas 11 to the inside of the nozzle 10.

  In FIG. 2, the molten metal in the molten pool 7 formed by the arc 5 generated from the preceding wire 3 tries to flow backward due to surface tension, but the arc force generated from the trailing wire 4 is The molten metal that is going to flow backward is pushed back directly under the arc 5 generated from the preceding wire 3 to make the amount of molten metal uniform at each welding position.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a general configuration of the above-described two-electrode one-torch type welding robot. In the figure, a welding torch 14 having a leading tip 1 and a trailing tip 2 is attached to the tip of a manipulator 21, and a leading wire welding power supply device 23 to be supplied to the leading tip 1 and a trailing wire to be supplied to the trailing tip 2. The welding power supply device 24 supplies welding power between the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2 and the workpiece 8. The leading wire feeding device 25 and the trailing wire feeding device 26 feed the wires to the leading chip 1 and the trailing chip 2, respectively. The robot control device 27 controls the manipulator 21, the preceding wire welding power source device 23, and the subsequent wire welding power source device 24.
When the welding direction is changed, the leading and trailing are interchanged. Therefore, the leading tip 1, the leading wire 3, the leading wire feeding device 25, the leading wire welding power supply device 23, the trailing tip 2, the trailing wire 4, and the trailing The preceding and following descriptions of the respective reference numerals of the row wire feeding device 26 and the subsequent wire welding power source device 24 are interchanged.

[Prior art 1]
A welding end method (hereinafter, referred to as “prior art 1”) using a conventionally proposed two-electrode, one-torch welding robot will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the leading wire 3 and the trailing wire 4 are fed. FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method for ending the two-electrode one-torch type consumable electrode arc welding according to Prior Art 1, and FIG. It is a figure explaining the termination method.

  FIG. 4 (A) shows a state during consumable electrode arc welding of the two-electrode one-torch method. In the figure, the leading wire 3 and the trailing wire 4 protrude from the nozzle 10, and the leading wire 3 and the trailing wire 4 and the covering wire 4 are connected to the leading wire welding power source 23 and the trailing wire welding power source 24 shown in FIG. Electric power is supplied between the welding object 8 and arcs 5 and 6 are generated from the leading wire tip 3a and the trailing wire tip 4a, respectively, and a weld bead 9 is formed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the leading wire tip 3a reaches the welding end position P2, which is the terminal portion of the weld bead formed by the leading wire 3, the robot controller 27 shown in FIG. It is determined that the leading wire tip 3a has reached the welding end position P2, and a crater processing command signal is output to the leading wire welding power source device 23 and the trailing wire welding power source device 24.

Here, the crater process will be described. At the weld bead end portion, a so-called crater is formed in the molten pool immediately under the arc, which is depressed by the arc force. This crater is likely to have defects such as cracks and shrinkage holes. In order to prevent this, the operation of reducing or eliminating the crater is called crater processing. In general, a method of decreasing the welding current continuously or stepwise at the end portion of the weld bead, or interrupting the welding current is used.
In addition, the crater process of the above-mentioned prior art 1 is set as the second crater process in the present invention.

  After that, when the crater process is finished, the robot control device 27 shown in FIG. 3 inputs a welding end command signal to the preceding wire welding power source device 23 and the subsequent wire welding power source device 24, and FIG. ) Finish the welding as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an appearance of a weld bead end portion according to a consumable electrode arc welding end method of the two-electrode one-torch method of the prior art 1. As shown in the figure, since both the preceding wire 3 and the succeeding wire 4 perform crater processing, two crater processing traces 15 and 16 are generated. Therefore, not only the appearance of the weld bead is deteriorated, but also when the crater process is performed, a recess 15a is generated between the two crater process traces, and the weld joint strength is weakened. In addition, when performing high-speed welding, the depressed molten pool before the crater treatment is solidified without being cratered and becomes a molten pool trace 13, so that defects such as cracks and shrinkage holes are likely to occur.

[Prior Art 2]
To solve the above problems, Patent Document 1
(Hereinafter referred to as Conventional Technology 2) has been proposed.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an apparatus for performing tandem arc welding according to Conventional Technique 2. In the figure, a leading wire welding power source device 44 and a trailing wire welding power source device 45 supply power between the leading tip 41 and the trailing tip 42 and the workpiece 2 respectively. The leading wire feeding device 46 and the trailing wire feeding device 47 supply the leading wire 48 and the trailing wire 49 to the leading tip 41 and the trailing tip 42, respectively, and generate an arc 50 and an arc 51. A molten pool 52 is formed by the arc 50 and the arc 51, and a weld bead 53 is formed behind the molten pool 52. The welding control device 54 performs operation control of the welding robot 55 and output control of the power supply device 44 for leading wire welding and the power supply device 45 for subsequent wire welding.

  FIG. 7 is a time chart for explaining a control method at the end of welding according to the prior art 2. FIG. 7 (A) shows the elapsed time t of the preceding wire energization current, and FIG. 7 (B) shows the preceding wire applied voltage. (C) shows the time t of the moving speed of the leading tip 41 and the trailing tip 42, and (D) shows the time t of the trailing wire energization current. FIG. 4E shows the passage of time t of the trailing wire applied voltage.

When the leading tip 41 reaches the welding end position P2 at time t1 shown in FIG. 7, the energizing current of the leading wire 48 is decreased from I1 to I2 as shown in FIG. As shown in B), the applied voltage of the leading wire 48 is decreased from E1 to E2.
Thereafter, after the waiting time Td1 has elapsed, the arc of the preceding wire 48 is stopped and the molten pool is reduced.

When the succeeding tip 42 reaches the welding end position P2 at time t2 in the figure, the movement of the leading tip 41 and the succeeding tip 42 is stopped as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 4D, the energization current of the trailing wire 49 is decreased from I3 to I4, and as shown in FIG. 4E, the applied voltage of the trailing wire 49 is changed from E3 to E4. Reduce to.
Thereafter, the arc of the trailing wire 49 is stopped after the waiting time Td2 has elapsed.

  The energizing currents I2 and I4 reduced before the arc is stopped are appropriately about half of the normal welding currents I1 and I2, respectively. Further, the applied voltages E2 and E4 reduced before stopping the arc may be set to values suitable for the reduced energization currents I2 and I4, respectively.

  Thus, by reducing the current applied to the preceding wire 48 and the succeeding wire 49 and the voltage to be applied at the end of welding and stopping after the waiting time, it is possible not only to prevent the molten metal from scattering and to stabilize the molten pool. Although it has been disclosed that it is possible to obtain a good weld end portion having no welding defects such as unevenness, pits and cracks, it has the following problems.

JP 2001-113373 A

In the prior art 2 described above, as shown in FIG. 7, after reducing the current and voltage applied to the leading wire 48, welding is performed only by the trailing wire 49. The welding speed at this time is a speed at which high-speed welding is performed, as shown in FIG. Therefore, after reducing the current and voltage applied to the leading wire 48, the moving speed of the leading tip 41 and the trailing tip 42 is too fast to perform welding only with the arc of the trailing wire 49, so that the weld bead width In some cases, the weld bead near the welding end position cannot be obtained with a beautiful appearance.
Further, in high-speed welding in which the welding speed exceeds 2 [m / min], in order to obtain a uniform weld bead, the ratio of the current applied to the preceding wire 48 and the current applied to the subsequent wire 49 is 2: 1. Degree. Accordingly, if the current applied to the preceding wire 48 is reduced and stopped while maintaining the high-speed welding speed, the current ratio applied to the preceding wire 48 and the succeeding wire 49 is not an appropriate ratio, and high-speed welding is performed. In this case, the arc force of the trailing wire 49 becomes excessive, the arc force blows off the molten pool, the weld bead becomes non-uniform, and a welding defect occurs.

  Furthermore, in the prior art 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when performing fillet welding of a bottom plate having a box shape and a wall on the front surface in the welding direction at the welding end position P2, as shown in FIG. Since the leading tip 41 reaches the welding end position P2, the leading tip 41 hits the wall, and the leading tip 41 and the trailing tip 42 cannot be moved in the welding direction, the control method for tandem arc welding according to the related art 2 is executed. Can not do it. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a case where the shape of the workpiece 8 is box-shaped and fillet welding of the bottom plate is performed. Accordingly, since the trailing tip 42 cannot reach the welding end position P2, as shown in FIG. 9, the welding in the vicinity of the welding end position P2 becomes welding by only the preceding wire 48, so that the vicinity of the welding end position P2 The weld bead 9a becomes thinner, or the weld bead 9 becomes non-uniform, resulting in a weld defect. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining that the weld bead 9 is not uniform at the welding end position P2 when the shape of the workpiece 8 is box-shaped and the fillet welding of the bottom plate is performed according to the related art 2. .

In order to solve the above-described problem, the first invention is a consumable two-electrode arc welding end method in which a leading wire and a trailing wire are fed and welded in one welding torch.
When the preceding wire reaches the welding end position, the feeding and energization of the succeeding wire are stopped and the arc of the succeeding wire is extinguished,
The consumable two-electrode arc welding end method is characterized in that the preceding wire performs crater processing by moving the welding torch in a direction to fill the molten pool recessed by the arc force of the trailing wire.

A second invention is a consumable two-electrode arc welding end method in which a leading wire and a trailing wire are fed and welded in one welding torch,
When the preceding wire reaches the welding end position, the feeding and energization of the succeeding wire are stopped and the arc of the succeeding wire is extinguished,
Thereafter, the welding torch is moved in the direction opposite to the welding direction, and the preceding wire performs crater treatment.

A third invention is a consumable two-electrode arc welding end method for feeding and welding a leading wire and a trailing wire in one welding torch,
When the preceding wire reaches the welding end position, the feeding and energization of the succeeding wire are stopped and the arc of the succeeding wire is extinguished,
The consumable two-electrode arc welding is characterized in that the welding torch is then moved in the direction opposite to the welding direction and the preceding wire performs crater treatment while filling the molten pool recessed by the arc force of the following wire. It is an end method.

According to the present invention, in the consumable electrode arc welding end method of the two-electrode one-torch method, the feeding and energization of the trailing wire 4 are stopped at the welding end position P2, and the crater process is performed only with the leading wire 3. The crater processing trace is only one place, and the appearance of the weld bead is improved even at the welding end position, and the weld joint strength can be ensured. In addition, when performing high-speed welding, crater treatment can also be performed on the depressed molten pool before performing crater treatment, so there is no weld pool mark at the welding end position, and there are defects such as cracks and shrinkage holes. It does not occur.
Furthermore, even when fillet welding is performed on a bottom plate having a box shape and a wall in front of the welding end position P2 in the welding direction, a uniform weld bead 9 can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the welding end method will be described in the first embodiment, and then the welding end control method and the welding robot by the robot controller 27 in the second embodiment will be described.

[Example 1]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of the consumable two-electrode arc welding end method of the present invention. FIG. 4A shows a state during consumable electrode arc welding of the two-electrode one-torch method, and the same functions as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10B, when the leading wire tip 3a reaches the welding end position P2, the robot controller 27 shown in FIG. 3 indicates that the leading wire tip 3a has reached the welding end position P2. , The welding end command signal is output to the subsequent wire welding power source device 24, and the first crater processing command signal is output to the preceding wire welding power source device 23. L2 shown in FIG. 10 (B) is the distance between the wire tips of the standard protruding length, and can be used as the following wire first crater processing distance D1.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3C, the preceding wire 3 performs the first crater process while the welding torch moves the first crater processing distance D1, for example, the distance L2 between the wire tips, in the direction opposite to the welding direction. .

  Here, the first crater process is to stop the feeding and energization of the succeeding wire 4, perform the welding end process while energizing only the preceding wire 3 and moving the welding torch in the direction opposite to the welding direction. is there. The welding current value, welding voltage value, and welding speed during the first crater treatment period can be arbitrarily set. Usually, the welding current value and welding voltage for welding (hereinafter referred to as normal welding) until the welding torch reaches the welding end position. The value is lower than the welding speed.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a welding end method subsequent to FIG. 10 in the welding end method of the first embodiment. 11A to 11C that follow FIG. 10C will be described. When the welding torch finishes moving the first crater processing distance D1, for example, the wire tip distance L2, in the direction opposite to the welding direction, the welding torch stops, and the robot controller 27 shown in FIG. A second crater processing command signal is output to the welding power supply device 23, and the leading wire 3 performs the second crater processing as shown in FIG.

  Here, the second crater process is to process the crater with the welding torch stopped after the preceding wire 3 performs the first crater process, and arbitrarily sets the welding current value and the welding voltage value. it can. This corresponds to the crater processing described in Related Art 1.

  When the preceding wire 3 finishes the second crater process, the robot control device 27 shown in FIG. 3 outputs a welding end command signal to the preceding wire welding power supply device 23, as shown in FIG. 11 (B). Finish welding.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, only the preceding wire 3 performs the crater processing described in the related art 1 in the second crater processing, so that only one crater processing trace 15 is generated as shown in FIG. Absent. In addition, since the moving speed of the welding torch during the first crater process shown in FIG. 10C is decelerated from the normal welding speed, the molten metal generated by the leading wire 3 while the welding torch is moved is an arc. The molten metal is pushed in the moving direction of the torch by force, and the molten metal can fill the molten pool recessed by the arc force of the trailing wire 4, and the weld pool mark 13 shown in FIG. The appearance is good.

  Furthermore, even when the fillet welding is performed on the bottom plate having the box-shaped shape of the workpiece 8 shown in FIG. 8 and having a wall in front of the welding end position P2 in the welding direction, the preceding wire 3 is placed at the welding end position P2. Then, after the energization of the trailing wire 4 is stopped, the leading wire 3 and the trailing wire 4 are moved in the direction opposite to the welding direction so that the leading wire 3 performs the first crater process. After the wire 4 has moved the first crater processing distance D1, the preceding wire 3 performs the second crater processing, so that a uniform weld bead 9 can be obtained as shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a case where the shape of the workpiece 8 is box-shaped and fillet welding of the bottom plate is performed by the welding end method of the first embodiment.

  In the first embodiment, the first crater processing distance D1 can be set to “a distance between the wire tips of the standard protruding length” L2. Further, the first crater processing distance D1 can be calculated from the first crater processing moving speed and the first crater processing moving time. Further, the first crater processing distance D1 can be calculated as a percentage of the “standard protrusion length distance between the wire tips” L2.

[Explanation of FIG. 13]
FIG. 13 is a view for explaining the moving distance of the welding torch from the welding start position P1 to the first crater processing start position and the second crater processing position when the preceding wire 3 of the first embodiment of the present invention performs crater processing. FIG.
In this figure, the distance from “welding start position” P1 which is the start end of the weld bead formed by the succeeding wire 4 at the start of welding to “welding end position” P2 which is the end of the weld bead formed by the preceding wire 3 The total welding torch moving distance L3 is calculated. Here, the “welding end position” and the “first crater processing start position” are the same position. Then, the welding torch is moved at a normal welding speed until the position of the trailing tip 2 reaches the welding end position P2 (first crater processing start position) from the welding start position P1. Then, a normal welding speed is applied from the welding end position P2 (first crater processing start position) to the second crater processing position P3, which is a position moved in the direction opposite to the welding direction by the first crater processing distance D1. The welding torch is moved at the first crater processing speed that is further reduced.

The welding end method of Example 1 is a welding end method in which the feeding and energization of the trailing wire 4 are stopped and the preceding wire 3 performs the first and second crater processes, as shown in FIG. When the leading tip 1 reaches the welding end position P2, the feeding and energization of the trailing wire 4 are stopped, and the first crater process is slower than the normal welding speed while moving the welding torch in the direction opposite to the welding direction. The leading wire 3 performs the first crater processing at the first crater processing current value and the first crater processing voltage value at the speed,
Next, when the preceding wire 3 reaches the second crater processing position P3, the welding torch is stopped, the second crater processing current value and the second crater processing voltage value are started, and the second crater processing is started. This is a consumable two-electrode arc welding end method in which the measurement of the crater processing time is started and the second crater processing is ended when the measurement of the predetermined second crater processing time is completed.

[Example 2]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[Explanation of FIG. 14]
FIG. 14 shows that the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2 are angled with respect to the central axis of the nozzle 10 when the welding line WL used in the second embodiment is the X axis and the central axis of the nozzle 10 is the Y axis. It is a figure which shows the positional relationship of the leading wire front-end | tip 3a and the trailing-wire front-end | tip 4a when arrange | positioning.
In FIG. 14 in which the leading tip 1 and the trailing tip 2 are arranged at an angle with respect to the Y axis of the central axis of the nozzle 10, (1) the leading tip angle α is determined by the center axis of the leading tip 1 being the center Y of the nozzle. (2) The trailing tip angle β is an angle in which the central axis of the trailing tip 2 is inclined with respect to the central Y axis of the nozzle, and (3) “Prior wire 3 or the standard protruding length L1 (for example, 20 [mm]) of the trailing wire 4 is obtained when the leading wire 3 or the trailing wire 4 protrudes from the tip of the leading tip 1 or the trailing tip 2 by a predetermined length. To the tip position (tool center position) of the preceding wire 3 or the succeeding wire 4. (4) “Distance between the wire tips of the standard protruding length” L2 is the length of the preceding wire 3 or the succeeding wire 4. When the protruding length is the standard protruding length L1, the wire between the leading wire and the trailing wire is A distance between the tips, which are predetermined set value.

[Explanation of FIG. 15]
FIG. 15 is a block diagram of the robot controller 27 when the welding end method of the present invention is applied to the welding robot shown in FIG.
In FIG. 15, the work program file output circuit 29 stores (1) welding start parameters and (2) welding end parameters determined in advance in each welding section of the work piece 8.
Here, the above “welding start parameter” means (1) the welding current value and welding voltage value of the preceding wire 3 and the succeeding wire 4 at the welding start position in each welding section, and (2) the normal welding speed. It is.
The “welding end parameter” is a condition for the first and second crater processing performed by the preceding wire 3, and (1) the first crater processing current value and the first crater processing voltage value, and (2) The moving speed of the welding torch in the direction opposite to the welding direction and the moving distance of the welding torch during the first crater processing period (D1 shown in FIG. 13), (3) the second crater processing current value, and the second crater processing voltage value (4 ) A parameter consisting of the second crater processing time.

  Further, the first crater processing distance D1 in the above-described second embodiment may be set to, for example, (1) “Distance between wire tip of standard protruding length” L2. Or (2) You may set the movement time of the welding torch of a subsequent wire and a 1st crater processing period. In this case, (first crater processing distance) D1 = (moving speed of welding torch during first crater processing period) × (moving time of welding torch during first crater processing period). Alternatively, (3) “standard protrusion length distance between wire tips” L2 may be specified as a percentage, and (first crater processing distance) D1 / L2 [%] may be set.

  Further, according to experiments by the inventors, when the molten pool is depressed to the extent that the molten pool trace 13 is formed as shown in FIG. 5 of the prior art 1, the molten pool of the preceding wire is filled with the depressed molten metal. Therefore, it is necessary to move the leading tip 1 in the direction opposite to the welding direction rather than the “standard protruding length distance between the wire tips” L2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the first crater processing distance D1 is longer than the “distance between the wire tips of the standard protruding length” L2.

  The electrode parameter output circuit 31 shown in FIG. 15 has a predetermined length (1) when the leading wire 3 or the trailing wire 4 protrudes from the tip of the leading tip 1 or the trailing tip 2 shown in FIG. “Standard protruding length of the preceding wire 3 or the succeeding wire 4” L1 (for example, 20 [mm]) and (2) which is the length to the tip position (tool center position) of the preceding wire 3 or the following wire 4 An electrode composed of “the distance between the wire tips of the standard protruding length” L2, which is the distance between the wire tips of the preceding wire and the succeeding wire when the protruding length of the leading wire 3 or the trailing wire 4 is the standard protruding length L1. The parameter is memorized.

  Further, the welding torch movement path calculation circuit 32 receives the output signal of the work program file output circuit 29 and calculates each joint angle of the manipulator 21 for moving the welding torch from the welding start position to the welding end position. Then, the calculated value of each joint angle is output to a servo control circuit 33 described later.

  The servo control circuit 33 receives the calculated values of the joint angles of the manipulator 21 for moving the welding torch from the welding torch moving path calculation circuit 32 and controls the manipulator 21.

The preceding wire welding condition output circuit 35 receives a preceding wire welding start command signal S1 that instructs the preceding wire 3 to energize the welding wire from the welding torch movement path calculation circuit 32 when the preceding tip 1 reaches a predetermined welding start position. When input, a signal instructing energization of the welding current of the welding current value of the preceding wire 3 output from the work program file output circuit 29 is output.
The preceding wire welding power source device 23 energizes the preceding wire 3 with a welding current when a signal instructing energization of the welding current of the preceding wire is input from the preceding wire welding condition output circuit 35.

The trailing wire welding condition output circuit 36 starts the trailing wire welding in which the trailing tip 2 reaches a predetermined welding start position and instructs the trailing wire 4 to energize the welding wire 4 from the welding torch movement path calculation circuit 32. When the command signal S2 is input, a signal for instructing energization of the welding current of the welding current value of the succeeding wire 4 output from the work program file output circuit 29 is output.
The power supply device 24 for the subsequent wire welding supplies the welding current to the subsequent wire 4 when a signal instructing the energization of the welding current of the subsequent wire is input from the subsequent wire welding condition output circuit 36.

[Example 2]
As shown in FIGS. 13, 17, and 18, the second embodiment stops the feeding and energization of the trailing wire 4 at the welding end position P <b> 2 and moves the welding torch in the direction opposite to the welding direction.
