The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically welding a flange to a pipe, and more particularly, to a pipe welding apparatus capable of automatically welding a flange to a pipe, accurately tracking a welding line using a voltage value measured in real- And more particularly, to a pipe automatic welding system and a control method thereof.
In the latter case, when a pipe is installed in a ship, a basic pipe is installed, and a flange is attached to the pipe. Then, a medium-sized pipe is welded to the flange. In order to weld the pipe to the flange After the straight pipe is placed on a turning roll, the flange and the straight pipe are automatically or manually welded using a welding apparatus while the turning roll is slowly rotated.
Patent No. 10-0771164 discloses an automatic welding apparatus for pipes, which includes a body drive unit and a welding torch, which are connected to each other by an apparatus drive shaft, a weaving shaft, a torch vertical motion shaft, a torch vertical drive shaft and a wire feeder drive shaft, (EN) A piping automatic welding apparatus and a control method thereof that enable a welding line to be precisely matched and simultaneously grasp the state of a groove using a laser vision sensor (LVS).
Since the automatic pipe welding apparatus of the above-mentioned patent carries out welding work using only the weaving shafts, the weight and complexity of automatic welding equipment can be mitigated and undesirable phenomena such as breakdown can be eliminated. In the dwell, And an advantage of being able to move linearly along the running axis without motion.
However, since the laser vision sensor is very expensive and is not easy to be handled by the operator in the field, it is difficult to actually apply the laser vision sensor.
In addition, since the conventional automatic pipe welding apparatuses can be welded only at one point of the pipe, welding of only a short pipe is possible, and it is difficult to work a long pipe of 6m or more.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a welding apparatus and method for welding a welded pipe by using a voltage- So that accurate welding work can be performed.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an automatic pipe welding system including a main body; Two turning rollers installed on the main body so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis, the two turning rollers being installed side by side so that a pipe is seated therebetween and rotated; A turning unit for rotating the turning roller in one direction; A deformation preventing roller provided on the upper side between the two turning rollers so as to be movable up and down by the elevating means to support the upper end of the pipe while pressing downward; A flange fixing unit installed on the body and rotatably supporting the flange in contact with the outer edge portion of the flange to be welded to the pipe; A TIG welding torch for performing welding along the contact line between the flange and the pipe while being moved by a linear motion part that linearly moves in the front, back, left and right direction and up and down direction on the upper part of the main body; A control unit for controlling operation of the TIG welding torch and the linear motion unit; And a control unit.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of controlling an automatic pipe welding system,
(a) placing the pipe on a turning roller and supporting the flange with a flange fixing unit;
(b) lowering the deformation preventing roller to press the upper surface of the pipe downward to support the deformation preventing roller;
(c) preparing the welding end of the TIG welding torch near the contact line of the pipe and the flange;
(d) welding with a TIG welding torch while rotating the turning roller;
(e) detecting, in real time, the voltage value applied through the electrode and the filler of the TIG welding torch in the course of performing the welding with the TIG welding torch, and controlling the operation of the linear moving part according to the voltage value, So as to follow the control signal;
And a control unit.
The automatic pipe welding system of the present invention detects a voltage value applied through an electrode rod and a filler of a TIG welding torch in real time without using an LVS or a sensor and uses a weld line tracking algorithm according to a voltage value pre- The welding can be performed. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a pipe automatic welding system at a low cost, and it is possible to secure an accurate and highly efficient welding quality, and it is also possible to weld a long pipe having a length of 6 m.
