Welding, which is a typical production-based technology recently called root technology, is an underlying technology that directly affects the final quality and productivity of parts and components in the machinery field. It is a fact that standardization is very difficult.

In addition, due to aging and shortage of skilled workers, the automation or mechanization of the welding / construction industry is rapidly proceeding. As the plant construction market has expanded and the requirements for welding quality have increased, And the difficulty in securing high-quality welding manpower has raised interest in welding automation equipment.

Therefore, it is expected that the demand for welding automation is expected to increase because the demand for welding quality of pressure vessel and steel pipe is very demanding, and securing of highly skilled technician depends on the success or failure of the project. Quality is required, and various process variables exist, but most of them are manual welding, so automation is desperately required.

In particular, recently, in the case of pressure vessels and steel pipes, the quality requirements of the clients have increased, and sometimes even exceed international standards.

In addition, due to the advancement of the industry, labor labor costs are rising, the avoidance of welding is accelerated, and high reliability is required for welding products. Further attention is paid to development of welding equipment for improving welding quality, cost reduction and productivity It is an increasing reality.

Currently, STS material pressure vessel welding automation equipment imports and uses foreign equipment. It is not affected by low investment cost and work environment as compared with foreign imported equipment, and can be used easily without requiring high proficiency.

However, in the case of pressure vessels and steel pipes mainly used in marine and offshore plants, construction and heat exchangers, welding is performed manually by manpower using arc welding such as TIG or MIG because the existing automation system , The welding speed was slow and there was no function of tracking the weld line, so welding defect frequently occurred.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic welding apparatus for manufacturing a pressure vessel and a steel pipe, 5 is an outline view of welding wire heating for use in the pressure vessel and automatic pipe welding apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a moving relationship according to another embodiment of the pressure vessel and steel pipe automatic welding apparatus of the present invention.

3, the welding apparatus 160 of the present invention is installed on the front surface of the horizontal frame 140 and includes a welding soil 161 for welding the surface of the pressure vessel 200, A welding wire feeding portion 162 for supplying a welding wire W to the contact surface between the stamina 161 and the pressure vessel 200 and a welding wire feeding portion 162 for supplying electricity to the welding soil 161 to heat the welding wire, And a welding power supply unit 168 for supplying power required for the welding process.

The welding wire feeding portion 162 is a conventional structure, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The welding power supply unit 168 for preheating the welding wire W is separately constructed from the power supply unit S.

Particularly, as shown in Fig. 4, the electrode rod is embedded in the weld arc generator 161-2 as a tungsten electrode rod.

The angle between the tungsten electrode and the welding wire to be inserted is set to about 8 °, and the change of the wire insertion position according to the arc length is reduced.

The distance between the tungsten electrode and the welding wire in the arc forming part was adjusted by changing the range of the tungsten electrode rod.

In order to bring the welding wire as close as possible to the tungsten electrode, a wire + pole connection was used to allow the arc to separate from the wire during wire energization.

In order to prevent arc generation between the positive wire and the negative tungsten electrode, the power source of FIG. 5 was developed.

When the welding wire falls off the base material, the transistor on the secondary side of the wire power source breaks the welding wire off the wire power supply, which is an essential technique.

A ceramic nozzle with a small diameter is installed on the welding wire outlet side, so that the hot-wire softened at high temperature passes smoothly, and the position of the welding wire tip is stabilized.

One torch switch controls arc and wire.

It is used to stop the supply of welding wire when pressing for 0.5 seconds or less, and for signal control of the arc power switch when it is pressed for 0.5 seconds or more.

The welding wire insertion position is set to a range of 180 degrees or more from the welding wire front insertion to the welding wire rear insertion.

6, the welded soil 161 of the welding apparatus 160 is divided into left and right adjusting blocks 164 which are provided on the front surface of the horizontal frame 140 and which move up and down The weighing block 166 and the constant voltage adjusting block 167 can receive signals from the controller 163 to move the weighing block 166 and the weighing block 167, .

The amount of movement of the left and right adjusting block 164 and the up and down adjusting block 165 is very small and precise relative to the amount of movement of the left and right moving frames 120 and the horizontal frame 130, The weaving block 166 continuously weaves the welding soil 161 in the left and right direction by a predetermined amount, and the welding arc caused by external factors such as defective machining of the welding apparatus part The unstable element is detected by the controller 170 and is automatically adjusted by the constant voltage adjusting block 167 to stabilize the welding arc, thereby improving the welding quality.

The combination order of the left / right adjusting block 164, the up / down adjusting block 165, the weaving block 166 and the constant voltage adjusting block 167 is a left / right adjusting block 164, a vertical adjusting block 165, a weaving block 166, And the constant voltage adjusting block 167 in this order. However, the left and right adjusting blocks 164 may be fastened to the entire upper and lower adjusting blocks 165.

At this time, the heating welding wire feeder 161-1 through which the welding wire W passes is connected to the heating welding wire supplying power source of the welding power supply unit 168, and the welding wire W is preheated by the resistance heating method, Can be shortened.

A pressure vessel 200 to be welded is placed on the front surface of the welding apparatus unit 160. The pressure vessel 200 is placed in parallel or perpendicular to the moving direction of the left and right moving frames 120.

When the pressure vessel 200 is placed perpendicularly to the left and right moving frame 120, the welding operation can be performed in the longitudinal direction of the pressure vessel by the back and forth movement of the horizontal frame 140 of the automatic welding apparatus 100 .

Particularly, in order to support the pressure vessel 200, a work platform 300 is installed on the bottom surface, and a plurality of rollers 180 are mounted on the upper surface of the work platform 300 to support the lower portion of the pressure vessel 200 It is preferable that the welding operation is performed by moving the horizontal frame 140 while vertically placing the pressure vessel 200 in the left and right moving frames 120. However, 120 and the left and right adjusting block 164.

In addition, when welding is to be performed along the circumference of the pressure vessel 200, the roller 180 supporting the pressure vessel 200 is rotated to rotate the pressure vessel 200 by the friction of the roller 180.

Hot wire TIG technique was used as a welding method by the welding device 160 of the present invention.

There is hot wire technique to increase the welding speed by TIG welding.

A current is connected to the welding wire (W), the welding wire (W) is preheated by resistance heating, and the welding wire (W) is put into the melting paper.

The characteristics of TIG welding can be used as it can reduce the preheating temperature because there is no occurrence of spatter or slag, the amount of fume is reduced, and the fear of delayed cracking due to low hydrogen is reduced.

The seam tracker used in the welding device 160 may be a non-contact sensor type laser or an infrared camera, and may be a CCD camera for photographing a laser irradiated from the laser device As shown in FIG.

In the present invention, the vision sensor 163 is used.

In response to the detection signal of the welding line tracking device, the control unit 170 operates the left and right control block 164 so that the welding toothed line 161 can trace the welding line constantly.

In order to ensure the high quality welding quality of the welding process in the arc welding of pressure vessels and secondary steel pipes, the welding line is traced using a small, low-cost non-contact type sensor, Defects and the like can be minimized and the welding quality can be improved.

In the case of automatic welding equipment for conventional pressure vessel welding, there is no welding line tracking system, or a welding line tracking band for uniformly and regularly welding the welding line (welding area) is provided so that the contact sensor contacts the belt or the welding area And weld defects occurred when the arrangement was shifted due to weld line tracking band or welding process error.

Through the application of the motion control system to track the seam line using the non-connected sensor and to correct it, it is possible to eliminate the preparation time for welding work for installing the weld line tracking strip, to eliminate defects due to the spacing arrangement between the weld part and the welding torch, It is possible to optimize defects in welds through the control system.

It is possible to improve the reliability of the welded part by improving the reliability of the welded part through the technology development that incorporates the IT technology and to improve the reliability of the product through physical welding which can easily affect the welding quality such as welding current, Variables can be identified and addressed in advance.

Welding torch Weaving (unshielding) system is a system that moves along welding line while moving welding torch left and right to make wide bead because straight bead is obtained by moving welding electrode along welding line during welding.

It is a frequently used method for ensuring the amount of deposited metal in multi-layer welding or thick-plate butt welding.

AVC (automatic voltage control) - If the shape of the welded part and the lute interval are not constant during the longitudinal or circumferential welding, the welding torch and the welding material The welding arc is unstably generated in the welded portion, thereby affecting the quality of the welded portion.

And means a welding spark stabilization device for preventing such a problem.

In the case of existing products, if the shape of the welded part of the welded part is not constant, the welded flame is abnormal, which causes weld defect.

In order to keep the shape and shape of the welded part constant, the shape of the welded part of the welded part should be processed relatively accurately.

In the present invention, by controlling the length and direction of the welding flame, which has the greatest influence on the welding quality, it is possible to secure more stable and excellent welding quality.

7 is a schematic diagram showing the principle of hot wire TIG welding.

The hot wire reaches the molten state of the welding wire (W) even if the welding wire (W) is energized without an arc.

The melting rate of the welding wire W can be increased or decreased independently of the arc current.

Therefore, the base material can be melted as necessary and the deposited metal as much as necessary can be obtained.

This is a big feature of Hot Wire.

Figure 8 shows the combination of arc and wire current waveforms according to the Hot Wire TIG technique.

Conventionally, as shown in Figs. 8 (A) and 8 (B), the wire is heated by a continuous current of DC or AC.

On the other hand, in the present invention, a method of heating a wire with a pulse current as shown in Figs. 8 (C) and 8 (D) is put to practical use.

There are two major features of this method:

(1) Solving the magnetic blow problem of arc

The magnetic blowing of the arc by the welding wire energization does not occur during the energization stop period of the pulse current.

During that period (70-80% of the total time), the arc is located at the target and melts the base material as usual.

For example, in the case of the PH method, if the magnetic blow occurs while the energizing period is 3 ms, and the non-energizing period is 7 ms, the arc is stabilized again during this period.

As a result, the presence of the magnetic blow of the arc is not a practical problem.

Since the welding wire insertion position is arbitrary, the state of the arc greatly changes depending on the position of the welding wire, which may make the work difficult.

The pulse energization heating is effective in reducing the influence of the welding wire insertion position.

(2) Problems arcing in wire

During the current interruption of the pulse current, with the wire voltage, the wire detects whether it is in contact with the base material.

Figure 9 shows such a principle.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing the wire voltage during the non-welding period of the welding wire.

The wire voltage is 0V only when the tip of the welding wire contacts the base metal.

When the welding wire is separated from the base material, the welding wire is separated from the power source so as to stop the energization and to control the energization only when the welding wire is in contact with the base metal.

As a result, no arc is generated between the wire and the tungsten electrode or between the welding wire and the base metal.

As a control of the hot wire TIG welding according to the present invention, welding and stopping of the welding wire with the torch switch has been conventionally performed in the wire feed and stop path. However, recently, when the wire tip contacts the base material, Supply control method becomes possible.

The principle is shown in Fig. 9, and the supply of the welding wire continues for about 5 mm even if it is momentarily released due to hand trembling or the like.

According to this control, it is possible to work with a feeling similar to the operation of the electrode.

10 is a graph showing a contact supply sequence.

The wire heating power required for melting the welding wire is in principle proportional to the wire speed.

This proportional factor is controlled by the dial of the remote control and set to the appropriate welding wire heating power (power coefficient control).

However, even if the dial is placed in the vicinity of the target position, the wire insertion position is close to the arc, so that the welding is interrupted due to overheating, or the heating is insufficient to cause the wire to collide with the base material.

In the actual work, the operator senses the melting state of the welding wire and adjusts the distance between the torch and the base material or adjusts the welding wire insertion position to an appropriate state close to or away from the arc.

The automatic pressure welding apparatus of the present invention improves the welding speed and the welding quality and includes the control function of the welding arc (weld line, weaving width / velocity, arc voltage) through the tracking control motion algorithm, And the quality of the welded product can be improved.
