Description
The present invention relates to pipeline section is welded into the field of continuous long pipeline.Relate more specifically to system with the welding machine welding.
A main system that is used for transmitting oil, gas, water etc. uses pipeline.These pipelines place underground usually, transamerica and many other countries.Usually on the road in predetermined pipe laying road, dig out ditch with excavator.
The pipeline section of for example long 30-60 foot is transported to the place that will use pipeline.By welding the end of adjacent pipeline section is welded.These weld seams must be very accurate.Even do not allow weld seam that very little pin hole is arranged.Pipe end is cut out the oblique angle usually to improve welding.Pipeline section picks up and makes that the aligning of two pipeline sections is as well as possible.In the inside of welding point place pipe, the inwall welding material of close pipe will form quite smooth surface.In any case, the inner weld seam of pipe can only have very little projection.When the handle assembly device of the crackle that may develop in the sound-pipe (as be used for) is put in the pipe, undue projection can cause variety of issue.In addition, the pipeline spacer block is arranged in pipeline, a product of carrying in its pipeline separates with another.Should be understood that gasoline will be carried by pipeline sometimes.Can put into a lining and just can separate two kinds of products, crude oil can be by same pipeline pumping subsequently.Two kinds of material requirements keep stable separation.
For the projection of the weld material of the fusion that prevents to have welded enters the inside of pipe, existing is to carry out the welding of first welding bead or root bead from the inside of pipe to the most frequently used method.The special exquisite machine that commercial costliness of selling is arranged for this purpose.This machine is 1200 dollars at the cost of the internal work of the pipe of 3 ft diams up to every weld seam, or every month about 2,000,000 dollars.This is very time-consuming and expensive.This just requires the better but comparatively cheap method that pipeline section is welded.
In the pipeline welding in modern times, sometimes welding tractor (welding bug) is used as semi-automatic arc welder.What combine with welding tractor is a guide rail, and it is fixed on the circumference of pipe, in the position that requires welding tractor around the pipe rotation.Dolly has a drive motor, by means of roller, drives dolly around orbital motion.Roller is clamped welding tractor along guide rail, is still so even welding tractor almost is inverted.Be provided with special clamping device cart stationary to guide rail.Also be provided with the device of the pipe that adapts to different size.Welding tractor has an oscillator makes the swing of welding wire head pass welding pool.
Dolly has a wire feeding device, and it has a Motor Drive welding wire to pass plumb joint, with welded together two pipeline sections.
At work, drive motor drive welding tractor with selected stable speed around guide rail movement.When welding tractor moves through position as 12 on clock, the peak of pipe just, and about 9 position, the middle part of the side of pipe just, speed all is stable.But, move downward the balance of 6 these positions of clock for welding tractor, because gravity draws the molten bath at faster speed, the motion of dolly must be quickened.For corresponding therewith, in modern practice, make the drive motor braking of dolly this moment.Operator's speed of adjusting drive motor makes its acceleration subsequently.Start drive motor subsequently, continue welding process.When being used as this speed adjustment, welding tractor is always being braked.
The braking drive motor makes the time of finishing welding that loss be arranged.Also must consider the problem that other is relevant, as keeping the continuity of weld seam.But even these problems are arranged, said method is still using widely, and is main because it is better than existing other method.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of welder and system, can outside pipe, carry out the welding of first welding bead or root bead, make weld seam not have inside projection.
The invention provides a kind of method that an end of an end of first pipeline section and second pipe end is welded, it uses improved welding tractor.Welding tractor is provided with wire feeding device, drives the device of wire feeding device, and is used for driving the drive unit that the welding tractor winding is moved on the guide rail of the periphery outside of pipe.Also has the device that changes little vehicle speed at welding tractor during around the track continuous motion.When welded pipe, pipe is positioned at horizontal level, and the axis that is to say pipe is level normally.Carry out the welding of initial welding bead or root bead at place, end from the outside of first pipe and second pipe near first and second pipes.Need not or not need to have the interior alignment jig of heelpiece in this method.
Usually use two welding tractors, half motion around guide rail, and another is around approximate second half motion of guide rail.From the position at o'clock 12 o'clock to 9 of hour hands, a welding tractor is from turning near horizontal level near the upright position.At this moment the speed of welding tractor must change the front that the electrode of welding wire with retainer belt just is positioned at welding pool.And another welding tractor rotates by 3 o'clock positions to 6 o'clock from 12 position.These two dollies rotate simultaneously or move.But dolly will be slightly prior to another dolly starting, and dolly stops and removing so that the welding bead of two dollies meets from welding region being still continuous weld seam than another dolly is early.Finishing a welding bead use surface-tension force-transmission (STT) power supply.This point is new in system.By using this system and suitable dolly actuating speed and welding wire feed speed, have only slightly on each limit of hypotenuse and burn.The surface tension of bond pattern mixes it, and each limit on tension inclined-plane makes the inside of pipe only stay flat weld seam.Therefore, no longer need carry out in the inside of pipe initial welding bead or root bead welding and need be at the special equipment of Guan Zhongyong.Before the present invention, when using the system that comprises welding tractor to weld pipeline section, always in pipe, carry out the welding of initial welding bead or root bead, or will be placed on Special Equipments such as anchor clamps, heelpiece in the pipe.The present invention does not need these equipment.
Also being provided with the device for silk speed that changes wire feeding device makes and can infeed the welding wire of required amount in the welding pool.In another embodiment, the speed of the drive motor by changing dolly is controlled and is changed making for silk speed of wire feeding device and meets the requirements of for silk speed.
In operation, the operator observes the relation of end of the welding wire of welding pool and electrode or supply continuously.The operator will keep the end of welding wire just to be positioned at the front in molten bath.Therefore the operator will change the speed of dolly to keep the suitable position of plumb joint.This can finish under the situation that dolly and welding procedure do not stop.In the actual motion of dolly, can change the welding wire supply rate and come the welding wire amount that requires is supplied with electrode.In addition, if requirement can be controlled and make changing for the speed of silk speed according to welding tractor of wire feeding device.
