Abstract
Description
本発明の目的は、操作者が一方の溶接装置にて溶接作業中であっても、他方の溶接装置の溶接条件を簡易に設定することにある。
一般に、例えば、サブマージアーク溶接装置や片面溶接装置等の溶接装置では、2台以上の溶接装置を同時に自動的に運転させる場合がある。この場合、溶接装置は、例えば、被溶接鋼板の終端部を自動で検出し、終端部を検出すると溶接作業の終了として動作を停止できるようになっている。そのため、操作者が溶接作業を開始すれば、複数の溶接装置が自動的に溶接作業を実行して終了することができる。
そのため以下にて、操作者が一方の溶接装置にて溶接作業中であっても、他方の溶接装置の溶接条件を簡易に設定する手順について説明する。
図1は、本実施の形態に係る溶接システムの構成例を示した図である。
この溶接システムは、通信回線の一例としてのネットワーク3によって相互に接続された、第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2を有している。第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2は、詳しくは後述するが、同一の構成要素を備える溶接装置であり、操作者により入力された情報をもとに自動運転により溶接作業を実行する。第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2には種々の構成の溶接装置が含まれるが、以下の説明では、サブマージアーク溶接の片面溶接装置を例にとって説明する。また、ネットワーク3を介して、第1溶接装置1と第2溶接装置2とは相互に通信を行うものとする。ネットワーク3は、第1溶接装置1と第2溶接装置との間の情報通信に用いられる通信手段であり、例えば、LAN(Local Area Network)である。

裏当装置100は、被溶接鋼板SPの端面同士を突き合わせた開先部Gの裏面に、不図示の裏当銅板上に載せられた裏当フラックスを押し当てる第1裏当部110と、開先部Gの裏面にフラックスを押し当てる第2裏当部120と、第1裏当部110および第2裏当部120を昇降する昇降装置130とを備えている。昇降装置130は、図3に示すように、第1裏当部110および第2裏当部120の下方に配置されて垂直方向に伸縮することで第1裏当部110および第2裏当部120を昇降させる昇降部131と、昇降部131を支持する昇降フレーム132とを備えている。また、裏当装置100は、第1裏当部110および第2裏当部120にフラックスを供給するフラックス供給部140を備えている。フラックス供給部140は、図2に示すように、第1裏当部110の裏当銅板上に裏当フラックスを供給する第1フラックス供給部141と、第2裏当部120にフラックスを供給する第2フラックス供給部142とを備えている。
制御装置10は、図3に示すように、溶接の制御を行う際の演算処理等を行うCPU10aと、CPU10aにて実行されるプログラムや各種データ等が記憶されたROM10bと、CPU10aの作業用メモリ等として用いられるRAM10cと、操作者による入力操作の受け付けや情報の表示を行うタッチパネル10dとを備えている。そして、制御装置10は、裏当装置100、搬送・固定装置30、溶接機40などの作動を制御する。制御装置10は、溶接機40に搭載されており、後述する溶接機台車44が溶接機用梁Bに沿って移動するのとともに、長手方向に移動する。
架台20は、図2に示すように、複数の鋼製の角材が連結されて構成されており、長手方向に沿って並設された2本の主梁21と、2本の主梁21を連結するように幅方向に配置されるとともに長手方向には所定の間隔ごとに多数配置された連結梁22とを有している。また、架台20は、図2に示すように、2本の主梁21それぞれの上方に主梁21と平行に配置された2本の平行梁23と、主梁21と平行梁23とを連結するように主梁21、平行梁23および連結梁22に垂直に配置された複数の垂直梁24とを有している。これら主梁21、連結梁22、平行梁23および垂直梁24は、内側に裏当装置100を配置することが可能なように、長手方向から見た場合に(図3で見た場合に)凹状に組まれている。
搬送・固定装置30は、図2、図3に示すように、裏当装置100の上方で被溶接鋼板SPを幅方向に移動させるとともに、溶接する際には固定させる装置である。この搬送・固定装置30は、架台20の2本の平行梁23上に設けられた搬送ローラ31と、磁気により被溶接鋼板SPを固定するマグネット装置32と、張出し梁25それぞれの上に配置されて、搬送ローラ31による被溶接鋼板SPの搬送を補助する補助ローラ33とを備えている。

また、溶接機40は、溶接ワイヤ42を溶接トーチ41に供給するワイヤ送給装置45(図4参照)を備えている。ワイヤ送給装置45は、溶接ワイヤ42が巻かれた不図示のワイヤリールと、溶接ワイヤ42を搬送する不図示の搬送ローラと、搬送ローラを駆動するワイヤ送給用モータ45a(図4参照)とを備えている。
また、溶接作業中、操作者は、被溶接鋼板SPの状態や被溶接鋼板SP同士の開先の形状に合わせて、溶接作業と並行して上記の溶接電流、溶接電圧および溶接速度(以下、溶接電流、溶接電圧および溶接速度を溶接条件と称する場合がある)を設定する場合がある。第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2は、操作者が一方の装置から他方の装置の被溶接鋼板SPの状態や被溶接鋼板SP同士の開先の形状を確認できるように配置されており、操作者は一方の装置から他方の装置における溶接条件を変更する契機を判断できるものとする。
次に、溶接システムの機能構成について説明する。図4は、本実施の形態に係る第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2の機能構成例を説明するブロック図である。第1溶接装置1と第2溶接装置2とは同一の構成要素を備える溶接装置であるため、第1溶接装置1と第2溶接装置2とで同一の構成要素には同じ符号を使用する。そして、以下では、第1溶接装置1の各構成要素について説明することとする。
さらに、演算部12は、ネットワーク3を介して演算部12-2により出力された第1溶接装置1に関する情報を取得して、取得した情報に基づいて第1溶接装置1における溶接条件を演算する。ここで、演算部12は、演算部12-2から第1溶接装置1における溶接条件番号が入力されると、入力された溶接条件番号に対応した溶接条件の設定値を記憶部13から取得する。そして、演算部12は、記憶部13から取得した溶接条件の設定値や、演算部12-2から取得した調整後の溶接条件の設定値に基づいて、溶接機台車44、ワイヤ送給装置45および溶接電源50の制御に必要となる各種信号の生成および出力を行う。そして、演算部12は、溶接条件の設定値を入力部11へ出力し、また、電流・電圧制御部14により制御された溶接電流および溶接電圧の測定値を、演算部12-2へ出力する。
次に、入力部11が備える表示画面について説明する。図5A及び図5Bは、本実施の形態に係る入力部11が備える表示画面の一例を示した図である。入力部11の表示は、第1画面の一例としての第1溶接装置1に関する情報の入力操作を行う場合の表示画面と、第2画面の一例としての第2溶接装置2に関する情報の入力操作を行う場合の表示画面とで異なり、それぞれの表示画面を図5A、図5Bに示す。また、第1溶接装置1は、3つの溶接トーチ41、即ち3つの電極を用いて溶接を行うものとする。同様に、第2溶接装置2も3つの電極を用いて溶接を行うものとする。
ワイヤ残量表示部1101は、第1溶接装置1における第1~3電極の各電極での溶接ワイヤ42の残量を表示する。ワイヤ送給用モータ45aで溶接ワイヤ42の送給量がカウントされ、溶接ワイヤ42の残量が閾値を下回るとワイヤ残量表示部1101は警告を表示する。溶接電流表示部1102は、第1溶接装置1における各電極での溶接電流の設定値を表示する。溶接電圧表示部1103は、第1溶接装置1における各電極での溶接電圧の設定値を表示する。溶接速度表示部1104は、第1溶接装置1における溶接機台車44の溶接速度の設定値を表示する。
号機表示部1109は、操作対象の溶接装置の号機を表示する。図5Bに示す例は、第1溶接装置1の入力部11で第2溶接装置2への入力操作を行う場合の例であり、号機表示部1109には第2溶接装置2を表す「2号機」と表示される。
溶接電流表示部1110は、第2溶接装置2における第1~3電極の各電極での溶接電流設定値、および電流計による溶接電流の測定値を表示する。ここで、操作者は、溶接電流を設定する場合、現在の溶接電流の測定値を確認した上で設定することや、測定値を確認しながら設定値を調整することが考えられる。ただし、第1溶接装置1の溶接電流の測定値については、第1溶接装置1が備える電流計(不図示)により操作者は確認することができるため、溶接電流表示部1102には第1溶接装置1における溶接電流の測定値は表示されない。一方、操作者は、第1溶接装置1から第2溶接装置2が備える電流計を確認することはできないため、溶接電流表示部1110には第2溶接装置2における溶接電流の測定値が表示される。また、図5Bのように、溶接電流表示部1110は、実際の電流計の表示に合わせて電流計の目盛りおよび指針により測定値を表示するものとする。
次に、入力部11による第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2に対する操作について説明する。図6および図7は、第1溶接装置1の入力部11による第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2の溶接条件の設定手順を示すフローチャートである。初めに、入力部11の表示として図5Aに示す画面が表示されているものとする。
即ち、従来の溶接装置では、複数の溶接装置を同時に運転させる場合、各溶接装置に対して1人ずつ操作者が付いて溶接作業を行う場合があったが、本実施の形態の溶接システムでは、1人の操作者が一方の溶接装置から他方の溶接装置に対して操作を行うことができる。そのため、溶接作業における操作者の人数を減らすことができる。
本実施の形態において、溶接システムは第1溶接装置1および第2溶接装置2の2台の溶接装置を備える構成としたが、このような構成に限られるものではない。即ち、3台以上の溶接装置をネットワーク3に接続して、操作者が、各溶接装置において他の溶接装置における溶接条件の設定変更等の操作をできるような構成にしても良い。このような構成として、例えば、第1溶接装置1(以下、1号機と称する)、第2溶接装置2(以下、2号機と称する)に加えて2台の溶接装置(以下、3号機、4号機と称する)がネットワーク3に接続された場合、操作者は、1号機から2~4号機への入力操作を行うことができる。同様に、操作者はそれぞれ、2号機から1、3、4号機への入力操作、3号機から1、2、4号機への入力操作、4号機から1~3号機への入力操作を行うことができる。
