But narrow gap welding sidewall fusion is difficult, in order to ensure two side walls while fuses, and needs higher weld seam
Tracking accuracy, existing commercial sensor can't be directly used in narrow gap weld seam tracking.Although U.S. CRC and France
Arc sensor is successfully applied in the pipeline narrow gap welding equipment of its exploitation by Serimax, and CRC's is automatic
Soldering equipment has been completed the welding mileage more than 10000 kilometers, but its arc sensor still has and adapts to different grooves
With process conditions ability it is poor the problem of, using these equipment when not only needs strictly to control groove and assembling precision and windproof
Welding is completed in canopy, and very professional welder is needed to be operated, limits the promotion and application of equipment.
The problem of for narrow gap welding arc sensing precision, many scholars have carried out extensive research.Li Wen boats et al.

Angle improve in arc signal extract weld seam deviation precision.Baek D establish arc signal using the method for neural network
Relationship between sidewall locations, using neural network is adaptive, self-organizing and solves arc signal the characteristics of real-time learning
Non-linear relation between position while welding.Hyeong-Soon is filtered using the method for moving average, devises a narrow groove
Double-torch robot welding system.The studies above is the spirit for attempting to improve arc sensing from the angle of signal processing and control method
Sensitivity so improve tracing control precision, do not revert to narrow gap welding physical process substantially to narrow gap welding shadow
The reason of ringing arc sensing precision is analysed in depth.

Description of the drawings
The present invention is specifically described below with reference to attached drawing and with reference to example, advantages of the present invention and realization method will
More obvious, wherein content is only used for explanation of the present invention shown in attached drawing, without forming to the present invention in all senses
On limitation, in the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is narrow gap welding electric arc " jumping wall " phenomenon

Jump wall phenomenon:When the distance between welding wire end and side wall be less than its with groove bottom apart from when, according to minimum electricity
Requirement of the principle to electric arc consumption energy minimum is pressed, electric arc should be established between welding wire end and side wall, but due to welding wire and side
Wall is close to parallel, and peak phase current density increases rapidly, arc constriction, and straight and upright property enhancing, electric arc can downwards be creeped along side wall
To groove bottom, electric arc rebound side wall again after peak phase, this phenomenon by pulse frequency at a high speed, it is reciprocal occur, such as Fig. 1
It is shown.When " jumping wall " phenomenon occurs, base value stage arc channel is established between welding wire end and groove side wall, and reflection is only
It is distance of the welding wire to side wall;The arc channel of peak phase is established in welding wire end and weld pool surface, reflects torch height, such as
Shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
According to traditional arc sensing method, electricity when acquiring torch swinging respectively or rotating to left and right side walls position
Signal and calculating difference, the centering that welding gun is carried out according to the difference are adjusted;It is all in one swing of acquisition or swing circle
Current value average current is obtained, and compared with the average current with being calculated in previous cycle, according to difference carry out welding gun
Highly adjust.
This method is suitable for common V-arrangement, T shapes, lap joint, the method for being also applied for direct current welding.For narrow
Gap pulse MAG welds, and in sidewall locations " jumping wall " phenomenon occurs for electric arc, and background current at this time does not reflect that welding gun height is believed
Breath only reflects welding gun centering information, at this time if will reduce the spirit of sensing using average current sensing welding gun elevation information
