Description:
DEVELOPMENT OF WIRE SEAM WELDING MACHINE WITH HIGH FREQUENCY TRANSFORMER

Technical Field:

The manufacturing sector of this invention used in thin-section, of stainless sheet metal and galvanized stitching wire to be combined with the sources; thanks to the energy used in the structure to increase the frequency of the high frequency transformer, low energy and reduce energy costs by allowing the style to be made in this way for the purpose of reducing the burden on the machine by the machine and the elements suitable as long- lasting use made in seam welding wire having a high-frequency transformer, which ensure to fulfill with the development of the machine is concerned.

State of the Art:

Nowadays, the process of joining thin galvanized and stainless metal sheets in the manufacturing sector is carried out on wire seam welding machines.

The ones used in the current technique of these machines are simply; a body, the machine which provides the movement of the motor, the voltage on wire seam welding of crossing the bar which provided to be made by providing them with the help of upper and lower pulley, capable of moving on a belt, secure the product during the guarantee progress and when finished fixing the source of the welding wire feed wire feed and push on the resource group that the group who used the source that is used at the fraction of the wire so as not to detract from the system increased distress wire in the drawing group, that pass through heated with high voltage during welding bar, etc. the cooling cabinet (unit) that cools the elements consists of a control panel where adjustment controls are performed on the machine.

In the process of welding on the mentioned machines; the ends of the product to be welded, which are turned into a cylinder, are fixed with a fixing group on the rail. Then, the machine is started and the product is brought to the area where the upper and lower rollers are located by the movement of the pusher group on the tape. At the same time, the upper and lower machine contact the product, and the busbars also contact the product to complete the electrical circuit. In this way, the energy required for welding is transferred to the product. Then, between these elements that are in contact, wire Decoupage is made, which will help in making the weld. The fed wire is welded to the welding ends of the related product with high energy. As the welding process is performed, the pusher group pushes the related product out of the machine and takes it out of the system. In this way, the welding process is completed.

In the application for the utility model TR201108661 belonging to the applicant, “Wire seam welding machine with high frequency transformer” is described. With the help of this application that performs the wire in the source of the upper and lower rollers, rails to move on, able to secure the product to the outside of the machine as the welding process is completed and the lock and pushes the bus driving is heated during the welding process to ensure the cooling of the cooling circuit of the machine movement, which provides a seam welding machine wire drive motor having; it is related to the fact that the welding process is performed at Jul-low voltage and contains a high frequency transformer that ensures the reduction of the power and energy consumed, increases the frequency of the energy used and ensures low energy consumption.

The thickness taper found in the product subject to the invention of the applicant above causes loss of time and slows down the production speed while thickness measurement is performed. In the mentioned invention, while welding, the rollers were rotating at idle while the sheet was expected to reach the welding point, which causes the copper wire to be wasted as much as the empty rotating distance. In this current method, there is quite a lot of waste in copper wire. Since the digital switch in the mentioned application is set manually, this setting must be made in every new process, and therefore this adjustment affects the production time quite a lot. In the mentioned application, the valve is opened and closed manually. In the current system, this component also needs to be improved. It requires the elimination of the spring roller and hand-tightened stopper in the mentioned application and the creation of a new technology. As a result, a new technology is needed that can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

Description of the Invention:

This invention overcome the disadvantages mentioned above can seam welding machine having a high-frequency transformer and wire made in the development of the property; thickness by eliminating the need to switch, and thus to increase the production speed manual system to automate the process here, down to zero to be a waste of copper wire, each new process eliminates the need for manually adjusted digital switch, manually opened and closed valve is a new technology that makes electricity.

With the invention, the obligation of the operator to reset and define the identification setting is completely eliminated at every product change to be welded. Thus, the loss of time caused by this process is completely eliminated. The need for the operator to make thickness adjustments at every sheet change has been completely eliminated and time savings have been achieved.

In the product subject to the invention, another clutch has been added to the wire drawing motor to increase the efficiency according to the existing system. Thus, the first clutch only performs wire drawing. The second clutch is integrated into the pusher and lock system.

The digital switch in the current system has been canceled and an analog sensor has been added instead. Thus, it is easier to detect the position of the piston, to determine to what degree it is and where its stroke is. The digital switch was adjusted manually with the new analog sensor, there is no need for manual adjustment. With the analog sensor, precise measurement of the piston stroke is provided.

With the invention, instead of the manual opening and closing valve, an electrically controlled pneumatic valve is now used in a PLC controlled manner. The pressure sensor in the product subject to the invention adjusts the pressure to be applied according to the type of sheet metal. Thus, damage to the sheet is also prevented by preventing incorrect pressure application.

Due to the easy fixing of the parts that make up the invention, it is easy to install, and thanks to the short assembly time, the costs are low. In addition, the invention has a solid structure.

The invention has an analog sensor (6) that detects the position of the piston (13), at what degree and where its stroke is. In the product subject to the invention, there is a maximum level of pusher and a limit sensor (7) that allows welding without damaging the pusher and lock (4). The invention includes a clutch (10) and a laser sensor (8) that activates the copper wire (12) at the starting point of welding so as to prevent wastage.

In the product subject to the invention, there is an analog sensor (6) positioned in front of the electrically controlled pneumatic valve (9) and on the upper part of the piston (13). The analog sensor (6) does not start the welding process until it detects that its two sheets are on top of each other.

The invention has a laser sensor (8) positioned on the upper roller (2).

Detailed Description Of The Invention:

The parts constituting the invention are basically; Chassis (1), upper roller (2), lower roller (3), pusher and lock (4), control panel (5), analog sensor (6), limit sensor (7), laser sensor (8), electrically controlled pneumatic valve (9), clutch (10), pressure sensor (11), wire (12) and piston (13). The pressure sensor (11) in the product subject to the invention consists of a single part. This part is the socket (11.1).

The operation of the system with the product subject to the invention is as follows; to the control panel (5), initially the sheets according to their type and thickness (eg 0.5-0.6-0.7- 0.8-0.9-1 mm) the thickness of the sheets are loaded into the system by being placed between them. After this process is done once, it is automatically selected from the control panel (5) if welding is to be done for any incoming sheet metal in these thicknesses without the need to make this setting again. The operator can change these settings if he wishes.

When a selection is made from the control panel (5) according to the type of sheet metal, the necessary pressure processes during welding are automatically adjusted by means of sensors. These processes proceed as follows. When starting from the control panel (5), the pusher and the lock (4) move forward (towards the rollers). As a result of this movement, when the laser approaches the sensor (8), it slows down its speed, and after the laser sensor (8) passes, the pusher and lock (4) part come back to the same length as the welding length that the operator has made before with this sheet metal. The sheets to be welded are approached to the roller mouths from the right and left of the upper roller (2) and the lower roller (3). As soon as the operator presses the pedal, the sheets move forward first, and the laser sensor (8) detects the first point to start welding. The important detail here is that if the sheet is a single layer, the welding process does not start with the signal given by the analog sensor (6). The welding process does not start until it detects that its two sheets are on top of each other. As soon as it detects the sheets on top of each other, the welding process starts at whatever speed is determined on the control panel (5). The pusher and the lock (4) part push the sheets at the determined speed, and during this pushing, welding is performed with the wire (12) located at the ends of the upper roller (2) and the lower roller (3). When the welding process is completed at the specified length, the upper roller (2) and the lower roller (3) come to the open position and the pusher and the lock (4) part return to the size (for example: 500 mm) to be welded again and wait for the new sheets to be brought to the roller mouths. One of the most important points that the product of the invention provides in this system is that the wire (12) is activated at the time of welding. Thus, the waste situation for the wire (12) is completely eliminated.

When the cabinet door, which is wrapped around the copper wires (12) in the product subject to the invention, is opened, the rotation of the wire (12) reels is automatically stopped for safety with the help of the safety switch on the doors.
