Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a controller and a wire feeder including the wire feeder,

The present invention relates to a welding apparatus, and more particularly, to a controller and a wire feeding apparatus including the same.

Generally, according to the arc welding method, a wire which functions as a coaxial electrode on the electrical side at the time of arc welding is fed to a base material to be welded by a wire feeding device.

More specifically, when a current for welding is supplied to the wire fed by the wire feeding device, the welding portion is protected from the atmosphere under the atmosphere of the carbon dioxide gas or the inert gas supplied through the nozzle at the tip of the torch, .

Such a general arc welding system is disclosed in Fig. Referring to FIG. 1, a welding current is supplied to a welding machine body V connected to a power source AC, and a carbon dioxide gas is supplied to a gas bomb B, for example.

The wire feeder F continuously feeds the wire W while the wire W is wound around a spool S provided on the wire feeder F to a drive motor To the torch (T). Since the wire feeding apparatus F is configured to be portable in size and weight for convenience of welding work, the welder main body V and the gas cylinder B are at least several meters to several tens meters, for example, 1 to 50 meters (PC), control cable (CC) and gas hose (GH) with a distance of 1m.

The welding current supplied through the power cable PC flows to the wire W fed from the wire feeder F and the atmospheric gas such as carbon dioxide gas supplied to the gas hose GH flows from the torch T via the wire (W). Thus, the wire fed by the wire feeder F is continuously consumed as the consumable material during the process of welding, and is continuously supplied in the amount consumed. Therefore, in this consumable arc welding method, precise feed control for the wire must be preceded, and if the feed control for the wire fails, a crater or the like occurs at the welded part, and the quality of the weld is greatly deteriorated. Therefore, the wire feeder may be equipped with a controller 1 for precise feed control of the wire.

However, the conventional controller attached to the feeder has a problem that the current and the voltage are set in an analog manner so that the operator can not accurately set the current and the voltage.

1 is a schematic view of an arc welding system according to the prior art.
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 are a perspective view, a plan view, and a block diagram, respectively, schematically showing a part of a controller mounted on the wire feeder according to the first embodiment.
5, 6, and 7 are a perspective view, a plan view, and a block diagram, respectively, schematically showing a part of a controller installed in the wire feeder according to the second embodiment.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims and their equivalents. Is provided to fully inform the user. Also, for convenience of explanation, the components may be exaggerated or reduced in size.

The wire feeding apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention includes a controller provided between a welding machine body and a base material and capable of precisely controlling feeding of the wire.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a controller 1 mounted on a wire feeder according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the controller 1 according to the first embodiment. 4 is a block diagram of the controller 1 according to the first embodiment.

Referring to Figs. 2 to 4, the wire feeding apparatus may include a controller 1 for controlling the driving related to feeding of the wire. Such a controller 1 can be disposed on the outer surface of the wire feeder, and can be disposed in a position particularly easy for the operator to operate. For example, the controller 1 may be provided in the form of a control box, or may be provided in the form of a control panel.

Further, the controller 1 can control not only the driving related to feeding of the wire, but also the driving necessary for welding. For example, the controller 1 can also control whether gas is supplied or not.

In order to control the above-described operations, the controller 1 may include an input unit that can be set by an operator, and a display unit that outputs and displays some of the items set by the operator. The controller 1 may include a control unit for receiving the setting set by the operator from the input unit and transmitting a control signal to the welding machine main body.

The input unit may include a current setting unit 10 and a voltage setting unit 20. The display unit 30 may include a current display unit 30 and a voltage display unit 40. [ Here, the current setting unit 10, the current display unit 30, the voltage setting unit 20, and the voltage display unit 40 may be disposed on the outer surface of the wire feeder so that the operator can operate or recognize the wire.

The current setting unit 10 can set the current supplied by the wire. More specifically, the operator inputs the target current value through the current setting unit 10, and the current setting unit 10 can transmit the input current value to the control unit 80. [ The current setting unit 10 can directly transmit the numerical value of the current set by the operator to the welder main body, but can transmit the signal via the control unit 80. [ A detailed description thereof will be described later. The welder main body can supply a current of approximately the same magnitude to the received current value by wire.

The current setting unit 10 may be implemented by various input means. For example, the current setting section 10 may include a rotary encoder so that an operator can accurately input the current required for welding and control precisely.

Here, the rotary encoder can use either an incremental method or an absolute method. Further, a knob directly operated by an operator can be combined with such a rotary encoder. As another example, the current setting unit 10 may include a slide type input unit or a button type input unit.

The current display unit 30 can display the current set by the current setting unit 10. [ At this time, the current display unit 30 can display the current set by the operator in the form of an analog gauge, but it can be displayed in a digital manner to improve the recognition performance. That is, the current display unit 30 displays the amount of current by the number, and the operator can immediately recognize the current amount. The current display unit 30 can directly display the current set by the operator in the current setting unit 10, but can receive and display the signal through the control unit 80. [ A detailed description thereof will be described later.

The voltage setting unit 20 can set the voltage supplied by the wire. More specifically, the operator inputs the target current value through the voltage setting unit 20, and the voltage setting unit 20 can transmit the input current value to the control unit 80. [ The voltage setting unit 20 can directly transmit the numerical value of the voltage set by the operator to the welder main body, but can transmit the signal via the control unit 80. [ A detailed description thereof will be described later. Then, the welder body can supply a wire with a voltage approximately the same as the received voltage value.

The voltage setting unit 20 may include various input means as in the case of the current setting unit 10 described above. For example, the voltage setting unit 20 may include a rotary encoder such as the current setting unit 10 described above so that the operator can accurately input and precisely control the voltage required for welding. Here, the rotary encoder can use either an incremental method or an absolute method. Further, a knob directly operated by an operator can be combined with such a rotary encoder.

The voltage display unit 40 can display the current set by the voltage setting unit 20. [ At this time, the voltage display unit 40 can be displayed in a digital manner in order to improve the recognition performance as in the current display unit 30 described above. That is, the voltage display unit 40 displays a voltage by a number, and the operator can immediately recognize the voltage. The voltage display unit 40 can directly display the voltage set by the operator in the voltage setting unit 20, but can receive and display the signal through the control unit 80. [ A detailed description thereof will be described later.

On the other hand, welding work can be roughly divided into a normal welding work and a crater welding work which is a finishing welding work. Hereinafter, the normal welding operation is referred to as a welding operation, and the finishing welding operation is referred to as a crater welding operation.

The voltage and current settings need to be set differently between these two operations. The current setting unit 10 may include a welding current setting unit 11 and a crater current setting unit 12. The voltage setting unit 20 may include a welding voltage setting unit 21 and a crater voltage setting unit 22 ).

More specifically, the welding current setting unit 11 and the welding voltage setting unit 21 can set the current and the voltage required by the operator for the welding operation, respectively. The crater current setting unit 12 and the crater voltage setting unit 22 can set the current and the voltage required by the operator for crater operation, respectively. That is, the welding current setting section 11 and the welding voltage setting section 21 correspond to the welding operation, and the crater current setting section 12 and the crater voltage setting section 22 can cope with the crater operation.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the current display unit 30 can selectively display the current values set by the welding current setting unit 11 and the crater current setting unit 12. [ The voltage display unit 40 can selectively display the voltage values set by the welding voltage setting unit 21 and the crater voltage setting unit 22. [

For example, when the operator adjusts the welding current value through the welding current setting unit 11, the current display unit 30 displays the welding current value, and when the crater current value is adjusted through the crater current setting unit 12, The display section 30 can display the crater current value.

When the operator adjusts the welding voltage value through the welding voltage setting unit 21, the voltage display unit 40 displays the welding voltage value and adjusts the crater voltage setting unit 20 through the crater voltage setting unit 22 The lower voltage display unit 40 can display the crater voltage value. In other words, the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40 can display an operator's adjustment.

On the other hand, since both the welding and crater currents are displayed in the current display unit 30 and the welding and crater voltages are displayed in the voltage display unit 40, it is possible to confuse the operator who is operating himself or herself. In order to prevent such a situation, the display unit includes a setting display unit 50 that informs the operator whether the current and voltage values displayed on the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40 indicate a current or a voltage for a welding operation or a crater operation, As shown in FIG.

For example, when the current display section 30 displays the current corresponding to the welding operation, the setting display section 50 can emit light. Further, when the voltage display unit 40 displays the voltage corresponding to the welding operation, the setting display unit 50 can emit light. On the other hand, when the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40 display the current and voltage corresponding to the crater operation, the setting display unit 50 may be turned off.

As another example, the setting display unit 50 can distinguish between a welding operation and a crater operation by emitting lights of different colors. For example, when the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40 display the current and voltage corresponding to the welding operation, the setting display unit 50 can emit red light, and the current and voltage corresponding to the crater operation When displayed, the setting display unit can emit blue light.

On the other hand, when the operator operates the welding current setting section 11 and the welding voltage setting section 21 for welding, the setting display section 50 can inform the current worker of setting the welding current and the voltage. The opposite is also possible. For example, the setting display unit 50 includes a lamp that emits monochromatic light. When the operator operates the welding current setting unit 11, the setting display unit 50 emits light and operates the crater current setting unit 12 The setting display section 50 may not emit light. The opposite is also possible. This also applies to the case where the setting display unit 50 emits light according to the operation of the welding voltage setting unit 21 and the crater voltage setting unit 22. [ Of course, different colors can be distinguished by emitting light.

The setting display unit 50 may be disposed adjacent to the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40, respectively. For example, two setting display units 50 may be disposed adjacent to the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40.

The control unit 80 may be referred to as a main control unit MCU or a central control unit CUP so that the current setting unit 10 and the voltage setting unit 20 calculate the current and voltage values set by the operator And can send a signal to the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40 which are the display units. In addition, a control signal for controlling the voltage and current supplied to the welding wire can be transmitted to the welder body by processing the received current and voltage values. That is, by transmitting a control signal to the welder main body, the current and voltage can be controlled to be supplied to the welding wire through the current setting unit 10 and the voltage setting unit 20 according to the values set by the operator.

Referring to FIG. 4, the control unit 80 can receive the signal when the operator operates the current setting unit 10 and the voltage setting unit 20. The control unit 80 may transmit a signal to display the current and voltage values input by the operator in the current display unit 30 and the voltage display unit 40. [

At this time, the control unit 80 transmits the signal inputted from the current setting unit 10 and the voltage setting unit 20 to the welding machine main body, and the welding machine main body receives the signal and outputs the current and voltage inputted by the worker as wires .

For example, the operator inputs the current value by operating the current setting unit 10, and the inputted current value can be converted into the electric signal in the current setting unit 10 and transmitted to the control unit 80. [ The control unit 80 can receive the electric signal and transmit it to the current display unit 30 again. The current display unit 30 receives the electric signal and converts it into a numerical value, which can be displayed numerically so that the operator grasps it with the naked eye.

The control unit 80 outputs a signal to the setting display unit 50 when a signal is received from the welding current setting unit 11 of the current setting unit 10, So that the worker can recognize that the current is the current for. This is also true when a signal is received by the crater current setting unit 12, the welding voltage setting unit 21, and the crater voltage setting unit 22. [

The control unit 80 is electrically connected to various components such as the inching switch 91, the gas check switch 92, the wire diameter selection switch 93, the crater oil-less switch 94, the torch switch 95, And receives a control signal from each of the components and transmits a control signal to the welder main body.

4, a control method of the wire feeder according to the first embodiment will be described.

In order to display the current value inputted by the operator, the following steps may be included.

The control method of the wire feeder includes a step S10 of transmitting the current value inputted by the operator to the control unit from the current setting unit 10 and a step S20 of transmitting a signal to the current display unit 30 in the control unit 80 , And displaying the current value inputted by the operator in the current display unit 30 (S30).

In order to display the voltage value inputted by the operator, the following steps may be included.

The control method of the wire feeder includes a step S40 of transmitting a voltage value inputted by the operator to the control unit 80 from the voltage setting unit 20, a step S50 of transmitting a signal to the voltage display unit in the control unit, And displaying the voltage value inputted by the operator on the display unit (S60).

The above control methods can be performed simultaneously or individually. For example, the control method will proceed in the order that the operator operates.

On the other hand, the control unit 80 may additionally perform the step (S70) of transmitting the current value and the voltage value input to the welder main body as a signal. The main body of the welder can supply current and voltage as wires to the signal band received by the control unit (80). This step S90 may be performed later than the steps S10 and S40 of transmitting the signal from the current setting unit 10 and / or the voltage setting unit 20 to the control unit 80. In the control unit, the current display unit 30 ) And / or transmitting the voltage to the voltage display unit 40 (S20, S50).

In the first embodiment, the current setting unit 10 may include a welding current setting unit 11 and a crater current setting unit 12. [ Therefore, the step S10 of transmitting the signal from the current setting unit 10 to the control unit 80 includes the steps of transmitting a signal from the welding current setting unit 11 and the crater current setting unit 12 to the control unit 80 S11). For example, when the worker inputs the current value by operating the welding current setting section 11, the welding current setting section 11 can transmit a signal to the control section 80. [ At this time, the crater current setting unit 12 may not transmit a signal to the control unit 80. [ The opposite is also possible.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the voltage setting unit 20 may include a welding voltage setting unit 21 and a crater voltage setting unit 22. [ Therefore, the step S40 of transmitting the signal from the voltage setting unit 20 to the control unit 80 includes the steps of transmitting signals from the welding voltage setting unit 21 and the crater voltage setting unit 22 to the control unit 80 S41). For example, the step (S10) of transmitting from the current setting unit 10 to the control unit 80 described above.

Meanwhile, the wire feeding apparatus control method may further include a step S80 of transmitting from the control unit 80 to the setting display unit 50. [ This step S80 may be executed after the step S10 of transmitting from the current setting unit 10 to the control unit 80 or after the step S40 of transmitting from the voltage setting unit 20 to the control unit 80, (S20, S50) of transmitting the current value to the current display unit 30 and / or the voltage display unit 40 in the display unit 80.

In the present embodiment, the current setting unit 10 may include the welding current setting unit 11 and the crater current setting unit 12 described above, and the voltage setting unit 20 may include the welding voltage setting unit 21 and a crater voltage setting unit 22. Therefore, redundant description will be omitted or briefly explained. On the other hand, the setting display unit 50 may not be included in the present embodiment. It is not excluded that the setting display section 50 is added later by excluding the setting display section 50. [

In this embodiment, the welding current value and the crater current value can be separately displayed. That is, the current display section 30 may include a welding current display section 31 for displaying the welding current value and a crater current display section 32 for displaying the crater current value. Such a current value may be a numerical value input by the operator at the welding current setting unit 11 and the crater current numerical value unit.

In addition, the welding voltage and crater voltage values can be displayed separately. That is, the voltage display unit 40 may include a welding voltage display unit 41 for displaying a welding voltage value and a crater voltage display unit 42 for displaying a crater voltage value. Such a voltage value may be a numerical value input by the operator at the welding voltage setting unit 21 and the crater voltage numerical value unit.

The signal flow of the wire feeder will be described with reference to Fig.

The control unit 80 is the same or similar in the above-described embodiments. The control unit 80 receives a signal from the welding current setting unit 11 and transmits a signal to the welding current display unit 31.

The control unit 80 receives a signal from the crater current setting unit 12 and transmits a signal to the crater current display unit 32. The control unit 80 receives the signal from the crater voltage setting unit 22 and outputs the signal to the crater voltage display unit 42 Signal can be transmitted.

On the other hand, a control method of the wire feeder according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

The control method of the wire feeding apparatus includes a step S10 of transmitting a current value inputted by an operator from the current setting unit 10 to the control unit 80 and a step of transmitting a signal from the control unit 80 to the current display unit 30 Step S20, and displaying the current value inputted by the operator in the current display section 30 (S30).

The control method of the wire feeder includes a step S40 of transmitting a voltage value inputted by an operator from the voltage setting unit 20 to the control unit 80 as a signal, (Step S50), and displaying the voltage value inputted by the operator in the voltage display part 40 (step S60).

Further, it is possible to further carry out the step S70 of transmitting the current value and the voltage value inputted to the welder main body by the control unit 80 as a signal.

The welding current setting unit 11 and the crater current setting unit 12 respectively transmit signals to the control unit S11 and the welding voltage setting unit 21 and the crater voltage setting unit 22 to the control unit And transmitting a signal (S41).

The above control methods are the same as or similar to the above-described control method according to the first embodiment, and therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The step S20 of transmitting a signal from the control unit 80 to the current display unit 30 is a step S21 of transmitting a signal from the control unit 80 to the welding current display unit 31 and the crater current display unit 32 respectively ). The step S50 of transmitting the signal from the control unit 80 to the voltage display unit 40 includes a step S51 of transmitting a signal from the control unit 80 to the welding voltage display unit 41 and the crater voltage display unit 42, . ≪ / RTI >

As described above, in the present embodiment, numerical values of current and voltage are displayed according to each setting operation, so that the operator can easily grasp the voltage and current of the welding and crater.

Each of the embodiments may further include at least one of an inching switch 91, a gas check switch 92, a wire diameter selection switch 93, and a crater switch 96 as an input unit.

The inching switch 91 may be a switch that causes the wire to exit in the direction of the base material at the beginning of welding.

For example, when the worker sets the inching switch 91 to the on state, the control unit 80 receives the control signal and transmits a control signal to the welding machine body, and the welding machine body supplies electric power to the inching- And then performs inching.

As another example, a voltage is supplied to the welding wire only when receiving a signal of an on state from the gas check switch 92, and when the off state is received, a voltage is applied so that the welding operation can not be performed The control signal can be transmitted to the welder main body so as not to be supplied.
