Description

Grinding method of automatic grinding robot for spiral weld at end of spiral steel pipe

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of operation, transportation, grinding and polishing processes, and particularly relates to a grinding method of an automatic grinding robot for spiral weld joints at pipe ends of spiral steel pipes.

Background

The spiral steel pipe is a pipe which is formed by rolling a strip steel coil plate serving as a raw material by adopting a spiral welding process. For spiral steel pipes, in order to meet the welding quality of the next steel pipe butt-ring welding at the end of the spiral steel pipe, the API Spec5L standard and the GBT 97111-1997 standard are both specified: taking the grinding of the weld joint at the end of the spiral steel pipe with the diameter specification of 508mm as an example: firstly, the weld reinforcement height of the spiral welded pipe within the length range of at least 150mm from the pipe end is removed, namely the axial grinding depth length of the pipe end of the spiral steel pipe is required; secondly, the welding bead after grinding treatment cannot be lower than the outer circumferential surface of the pipe body base metal, namely the base metal cannot be damaged by grinding the welding seam; furthermore, the residual height of the weld bead exceeding the surface of the steel pipe after grinding treatment is less than 0.5mm, so that the durable use requirement of uniform radial stress distribution of the steel pipe is met to the maximum extent. In addition, in terms of appearance quality requirements, the surface of the welded seam after grinding is smooth and flat.

However, in the prior art, in the market, the grinding precision of the equipment which directly carries the grinding head by means of the manipulator to complete automatic grinding is generally insufficient, so that the welding bead residual height after grinding is too high, the welding bead residual height still needs to be manually secondarily ground or the base metal of the welded pipe is damaged, and the steel pipe is scrapped, namely, the fully automatic grinding precision and technical index requirements which are in accordance with the specification of the API Spec5L standard and the GBT 97111-1997 standard cannot be realized.

Take a robot polishing system with three-dimensional vision disclosed in publication No. CN109483369A and a control method thereof, and a robot polishing system with three-dimensional vision disclosed in publication No. CN109483369A and a control method thereof as examples: the two technical schemes both adopt a pneumatic polishing technology; although there are certain advantages in flexible output; however, due to the compressibility of the gas, the gas in the pneumatic actuator is easily fluctuated by the change of the external environment temperature, so that the stability of the natural frequency of the pneumatic system is poor, and the final polishing linearity output is not ideal. Moreover, the system performance is not stable due to the serious crawling influence of the low-speed operation of the friction force of the air cylinder of the pneumatic actuating mechanism, so that the reliability of high-precision grinding is restricted. Therefore, the requirements of high-precision and reliable automatic polishing of the weld joint at the end of the spiral steel pipe with the inner weld bead within 0.5mm height after high-precision smooth polishing without damaging the base metal can not be met.

In addition, the robot polishing system with three-dimensional vision disclosed in publication No. CN109483369A and the control method thereof are characterized in that a multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator is adopted to directly carry a grinding wheel for polishing, due to the precision limitation of the manipulator motion trajectory planning and the additional corner increment generated by the joint due to the elastic deformation of each joint trajectory sensor, the displacement generated by the corner increment will be amplified by the arm length of each execution unit of the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, so that the precision of polishing by directly carrying a grinding head by the multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator is limited, and the technical requirements that can be met by manual polishing cannot be completely replaced. Thirdly, grinding by using a grinding wheel; the grinding wheel and the welding line of the steel pipe are polished in point contact, the grinding efficiency is low, the replacement cost of the grinding wheel is high, and the power utilization rate of a machine tool is not ideal. In view of this, the following improvement is proposed.

The grinding method of the automatic grinding robot for the spiral weld at the end of the spiral steel pipe is characterized by comprising the following steps of: (see FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIG. 19) the techniques described herein are also described in various flow diagrams. For ease of discussion, certain operations are described in these flowcharts as different constituent steps performed in a particular order. These implementations are exemplary and not limiting. Certain operations may be grouped together and performed in a single operation, and certain operations may be performed in an order different than employed in the examples described in this disclosure.

Step S001, determining the position of the steel pipe: the method comprises the following steps of (1) inputting the diameter of a steel pipe into an upper computer (see figure 20) of the spiral steel pipe end spiral weld automatic grinding robot comprising the upper computer, a PLC (programmable logic controller), a motion control card, a manipulator 1, a non-contact laser contourgraph 5 and a two-degree-of-freedom grinding platform 4 carrying a grinding mechanism 3 to vertically move along axial and normal spaces, controlling the manipulator 1 by the upper computer, moving the two-degree-of-freedom grinding platform 4 fixedly carried by an execution end of the manipulator 1 to an initial position from a zero position, and scanning by the laser contourgraph 5 to determine the position of the detected steel pipe;

it should be noted that: the upper computer is used for issuing and controlling control instructions of all mechanisms on the manipulator 1 and the two-degree-of-freedom grinding platform 4; and the upper computer uses LABVIEW to develop a friendly graphical user interface (as shown in figure 20), so that not only can various instruments and equipment be controlled in real time, but also various information can be comprehensively displayed, and the use and the operation personnel can conveniently master the real-time situation. The PLC is used for controlling the rotation of the spiral steel pipe; the motion tracks of the axial and normal displacement mechanisms of the polishing mechanism 3 carried by the two-degree-of-freedom grinding platform 4; the motion control card is used for planning the motion trail of the machine 1 under the instruction of the upper computer; the laser profiler 5 is used to collect elevation data of the helical weld and to establish three-dimensional and two-dimensional coordinates of the weld data. The laser profile instrument selects a German iridium (scanning control) scanCONTROL2900/2950/2910 two-dimensional line laser profile scanning sensor to scan so as to accurately acquire elevation data of a straight welding line.

Step S002, planning a trajectory: the manipulator 1 determines the translational motion of the detected position of the steel pipe according to the scanning of the laser profiler 5, calculates the center of the steel pipe and the highest point of the steel pipe according to the diameter of the steel pipe, records coordinate information of specific points by an upper computer and establishes a coordinate system of the steel pipe to be polished, so that the circular arc track of the manipulator 1 concentrically moves around the outer circumferential surface of the steel pipe to be polished is planned;

step S003, pipe end searching: after the manipulator 1 carries a two-degree-of-freedom grinding platform 4 and translates to a position right above the 12-point position of the highest point of the steel pipe under the guidance of a laser profiler 5, the manipulator 1 translates along the axial direction of the steel pipe to search and position the end of the steel pipe;
