    The invention relates to a welding device / with a connection for a welding torch for performing a welding process, a power source for supplying the welding torch with a welding current, a control device, an input / output device connected to the control device and formed by a touch screen for on / off of Parameters, functions and the like. For the operation of welding equipment and for the execution of various welding processes, the selection or setting of various parameters and functions is required. These are usually selected and adjusted with various controls on the power source of the welder, on the welding torch, on a remote control, or on another component of the welder, primarily before the start of the welding process, but also during that time. The term "parameters" includes both welding parameters, such as the welding current, which directly influence the welding process, as well as other parameters, such as functional parameters, which do not directly but very indirectly influence the welding process indirectly. Recent generations of welders are often equipped with touch screens that allow both the input and the output or display of the parameters, functions and the like. When using touchscreens in welding machines, the individual adjustable parameters or functions are usually assigned to fixed positions that can be selected by the user or welder. The user often has to call up various surfaces or masks on the touchscreen, which makes operation very difficult since the user does not always know on which surface or mask the respective parameter or the required function is located.
    The object of the present invention is to provide an abovementioned welding apparatus with which parameters, radio-cations and the like can be adjusted and retrieved as simply, quickly and intuitively as possible, before, during or after the welding process. It is advantageous if the adjustments can be made by the user or welder, even with welding gloves. Disadvantages of known welding devices with touchscreens should be avoided or at least reduced.
    The object of the invention is achieved by an above-mentioned welding device in which the control device is designed for the sequential and circumferential display of parameters and adjustment of the parameters in a main area of the touch screen, wherein the adjustable parameter is shown highlighted in the main area. The parameters are thus displayed in a kind of carousel revolving on the touch screen, which greatly facilitates the selection and adjustment of the parameters by the user. By touching the touch screen, the parameter carousel can be rotated and the parameter to be set quickly and easily selected. This selected parameter is highlighted in the center of the touchscreen and can be adjusted by touching the touchscreen directly or by pressing another control. Thus, the welding device according to the invention allows both a diverse setting of various parameters via the touch screen before performing the welding process as well as an adjustment or selection of certain parameters via another operating element during the implementation of the welding process. The inventively designed touch screen can be arranged instead of at the power source of the welding device or in addition to a remote control, a wire feeder, etc., which are connected via corresponding lines or wirelessly to the power source of the welding machine. In this case, the parameters are set via this touchscreen and, if necessary, a control element on the remote control, the wire feeder etc. Compared to conventional welding machines, which combine touchscreens with many operating elements, the objective welding device is clearer.
    In the area of the touchscreen, a combined control element for selecting and changing the parameters, functions and the like is preferably arranged. Thus, an input / output is combined using a touch screen with the combined control, which can be easily operated with welding gloves. The concept of the combined control element 3Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096 covers various operating elements which allow the combination of certain functions. In particular, a combination of a continuous or stepped setting of a value of a parameter with a confirmation or selection of the parameter should be possible. The parameter selected on the touch screen is highlighted in the center of the touch screen and can be adjusted either by touching the touch screen directly or by pressing the combined control. Thus, the welding device provided with a combined operating element enables both a diverse setting of a wide variety of parameters via the touchscreen before carrying out the welding process and also an adjustment or selection of specific parameters via the combined operating element during the execution of the welding process. In contrast to welding machines, which are only equipped with a touchscreen, the welding device with a combined operating element allows operation via this combined operating element, even with welding gloves. The user does not have to remove the welding gloves before handling. Compared to conventional welding machines, which combine touchscreens with many operating elements, the objective welding device is clearer. With the combined control, not only can certain values for a parameter, function and the like be set or parameters, functions and the like selected, but also control of the surface of the touch screen can be performed.
    Preferably, the control device is designed to display at least one preceding and at least one subsequent parameter of the sequence of parameters in addition to the centrally displayed, adjustable parameter in the main area of the touchscreen. The parameters are thus displayed in a kind of carousel on the touch screen, which facilitates the selection and adjustment of the parameters by the user. By operating the combined control element and / or touching the touch screen, the parameter carousel can be turned and the parameter to be set can be quickly and easily selected. This selected parameter is displayed in the center of the touch screen in the so-called selection mode. This advantageously achieves that the user sees the parameter currently being set, which is always located in the center of the main area of the touch screen, and additionally at least two can perceive adjacent parameters which are next selectable. Thus, the user can quickly and easily make the selection of the next parameter to be adjusted by moving the parameter carousel to the left or right.
    In this case, the adjustable parameter is preferably displayed larger than the at least one preceding parameter and the at least one subsequent parameter of the sequence on the touchscreen. In this way, the parameter that can be set will be highlighted on the touch screen accordingly. In addition, the selected parameter can also be highlighted by various graphic effects, such as a border or a colored representation. As soon as a parameter in the carousel has been selected by touching the touchscreen or pressing the possibly existing combined control element, this can be changed in its value. Depending on the default settings, a scale with the possible setting range of the parameter as well as the currently set value is preferably displayed.
    According to a further feature of the invention, an operating area on the touchscreen is provided for changing the sequence of parameters on the touchscreen. In order to be able to adapt the welding device to the individual needs of the user, the parameters which are displayed and arranged in the carousel and their sequence are adjustable.
    An operating area for displaying a selected parameter as a curve as a function of time can also be provided on the touchscreen. Pressing this operating area on the touchscreen selects a display mode (welding curve view) and displays the selected parameter as a curve as a function of time. Such curves are also used for complex processes, such as welding start processes. This is a great advantage for different welding processes / detail runs. For example, the welding current can be graphically displayed on the touchscreen or in a 4/21 or 2/2/2012 5Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    Be presented portion of the touch screen to provide the user with an overview of the timing of the welding current during the welding process.
    On the touchscreen is preferably in the upper part of a status line to display the status of the set welding process, and at least one preferably laterally arranged menu bar for displaying operating areas for selecting parameters or making adjustments. In the status line, the user is presented with information in text form or in the form of icons or icons for important settings, activated functionalities, logged-in user, time, date and existing errors and the like.
    On the touch screen, an operating area for switching to a full-screen mode can be provided, in which the at least one (preferably arranged on the right and left side) menu bar is hidden and the main area of the touch screen is displayed enlarged. Switching to full-screen mode will limit the touch screen to the essential views and hide minor controls or information. The full-screen mode can be viewed as a simplified or reduced representation of the user interface.
    To protect the touch screen against welding spatter or the like. Can be provided a preferably transparent protective cover. The possibly provided combined operating element is arranged outside this protective cover, so that operation of the operating element is possible even with covered touch screen. Thereby, an operation of the combined operating element in the vicinity of the touch screen is also enabled during the welding process, during which the touch screen is covered with the protective cover.
    The operating element is preferably formed by a rotary / pressure regulator. Such a rotary / push controller represents a simple realization of a combined control element. By pressing the rotary / push control, the selection or the value of a parameter can be confirmed, and by turning the key. 2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    Rotary / pressure control, a stepless setting of the value of the parameter or the selection of another parameter or another view takes place on the touch screen. Assuming an appropriate size of the operating element, this can also be operated particularly comfortably with the welding gloves on.
    When an interface connected to the controller is provided on the welder, various data or programs may be exported from the welder or imported into the welder. The interface is preferably arranged in the region of the input and / or output device. In addition, new display surfaces or layouts for the touchscreen can be imported via the interface or the surfaces or the like adapted by the user directly on the welding device can be read out. For example, via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface individual settings of a welding process to an external memory, in particular a USB stick, outsourced and be provided, for example, for use in another welding device. A wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter connected to a USB port can also be used to connect to local area networks or the Internet. Other interfaces, such as Ethernet interfaces, may be provided to connect the welder to local area networks or the Internet. A remote maintenance of the welding device and an update of the software can also be carried out via such interfaces.
    At least one function key can be arranged in the area of the touchscreen. For example, as such a function key, a key for initiating a process for threading a welding wire or a key for initiating a process for checking the required amount of an inert gas may be provided. Such external function keys are particularly used for frequently called functions, so that certain operations, actual value captures, etc. can be performed quickly and easily via a single press on a function key.
    Thus, the respective function, such as the threading of the welding wire, be triggered by a single press on the function key. An appropriate size of the 6/21 23-03-2012 7Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    Provided that the key is used, it is also possible to operate it comfortably with welding gloves.
    If the control device is designed to display a scale of the region within which the parameter is adjustable, the user can clearly reproduce the region within which he can make an adjustment of the parameter with the operating element. It is advantageous if the adjustment ranges for different welding processes and / or parameters changed and the adjustment ranges can be flexibly adjusted. Thus, the user always has the optimal areas available. The scale can be represented for example in the form of a circle or circle sector or in bar form.
    In this case, the scale is preferably adapted to the set parameters of the welding process and / or to used components of the welding device, in particular the current source. Depending on the further set parameters of the welding process, the scale or range within which a setting can be made is automatically displayed for the currently selected parameter. For example, when selecting the parameter of the conveying speed of the welding wire for the selected welding process automatically the range of reasonable possible wire feed speeds is displayed. From this displayed area on the scale, the user can select the desired value by operating the control element or by touching the touchscreen accordingly. The automatic assignment of the scale is done, for example, by corresponding stored functions or tables. These functions or tables therefore contain, for each adjustable parameter, the ranges within which the value of the parameter can be varied, depending on the selected further parameters of the welding process.
    If a memory is provided for storing the set parameters of a welding job along with a unique identification for the welding job, the user may cancel his individual settings for a particular welding job for documentation or later use. 7/21 23-03-2012 8Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    As already mentioned above, the touch screen can be arranged on the power source and / or a component of the welding device, in particular a wire feeder, a remote controller, etc.
    The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show embodiments of a welding apparatus and a touch screen of a welding apparatus. The drawings show a schematic representation of a welding apparatus; the view of a power source of a welder with touch screen; a view of an operating unit of a power source of a welder with touch screen; a view on the touch screen in full screen mode in selection mode; a view on the touch screen in full screen mode in the single-part mode; another view of the touch screen in full screen mode in setting mode; and a view of the touchscreen in Curve View mode.
    Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a welding apparatus 1 for a variety of processes or methods, such. MIG / MAG welding or TIG / TIG welding or electrode welding processes, double wire / tandem welding processes, plasma or soldering processes, etc. The welding device 1 comprises a power source 2 with a power unit 3, a control device 4 and others arranged therein not shown components and lines, such as a switching element, control valves, etc. The power source 2 and its components are arranged in a corresponding housing 11. The control device 4 is connected, for example, to a control valve which is arranged in a supply line for an inert gas, such as CO 2, helium or argon and the like, between a gas reservoir 6 and a welding torch 7. In addition, via the control device 4, a wire feed device 8, which is customary for MIG / MAG welding, are controlled, with over 8/21
    Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Fig. 7 23-03-2012 9Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096 a supply line a filler material or a welding wire 9 of a supply reel 10 or a wire reel or an external drum (wire drum) is fed into the region of the welding torch 7. Of course, the wire feed device 8, in the welding device 1, in particular in the housing 11 of the power source 2, integrated and not, as shown in Fig. 1, be positioned as an additional device on a carriage 12. Furthermore, the wire feeder 8 can also be placed directly on the welding device 2 by the housing 11 of the power source 2 is formed at the top for receiving the wire feeder 8. In this case, the carriage 12 can also be omitted. The wire feed unit 8 can also supply the welding wire 9 outside the welding torch 7 to the processing station, wherein a non-consumable electrode is preferably arranged in the welding torch 7, as is usual in TIG / TIG welding.
    The current for establishing an arc 13 between the electrode or the welding wire 9 and a workpiece 14 is supplied via a welding line (not shown) from the power part 3 of the power source 2, the welding torch 7, in particular the electrode or the welding wire 9. The workpiece 14 to be welded is connected via a further welding line for the further potential, in particular the ground cable, to the power source 2, so that a circuit can be constructed via the arc 13.
    For cooling the welding torch 7, this can be connected via a cooling device 15 with the interposition of any components, such as a flow monitor, with a liquid container, in particular a water tank 16 with a level indicator 17. The individual components of the welding system, that is to say the current source 2, the wire feed device 8 and the cooling device 15, are designed in such a way that they can be safely stacked on top of each other or placed one upon the other.
    The welding device 1, in particular the current source 2, further has an input / output device 18, via which the most varied parameters, operating modes or welding programs of the welding device 1 can be set or called up and displayed. In this case, the parameters, operating modes or welding programs set via the input / output device 18 are forwarded to the control device 4 and from this the individual components of the welding device 1 are subsequently activated or corresponding setpoint values for the control or regulation are specified. When using a corresponding welding torch 7 with a welding torch input / output device 19 adjustment operations can also be made via the welding torch 7. Preferably, the welding torch 7 is connected via data and supply lines to the welding device 1, in particular the current source 2 or the wire feeder 8. To start the welding process, the welding torch 7 usually has a start switch (not shown), so that the arc 13 can be ignited by actuating the start switch.
    Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, the welding torch 7 is connected via a hose package 20 to the welding device I. In the hose package 20, the individual lines, such as the supply line or lines for the welding wire 9, for the gas 5, for the cooling circuit, for data transmission, etc., arranged by the welding device 1 to the welding torch 7, whereas the ground cable preferred is connected to the power source 2 separately.
    In principle, it should be mentioned that not all of the previously named components must be used or used for the different welding methods or welding apparatuses 1, such as, for example, TIG devices or MIG / MAG devices or plasma devices. For this purpose, it is possible, for example, that the welding torch 7 can be designed as an air-cooled welding torch 7, so that, for example, the cooling device 15 can be dispensed with. It can therefore be said that the welding device 1 is formed at least by the current source 2, the wire feed device 8 and the cooling device 15, wherein these can also be arranged in a common housing II.
    FIG. 2 shows a view of a current source 2 of a welding device 1 with an input / output device 18 formed by a touch screen 21 for setting parameters of the device
    Printed: 26-03 * 2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096 η
    Welding process. The touch screen 21 is preferably formed in resistive touch technology to allow operation not only with the user's fingers but also with a stylus or the like. The size of the touchscreen 21 depends on the size of the power source 2 or other component of the welder 1 and the variety of parameters, functions and the like to be displayed and operating options. The sensitive touch screen 21 may be protected by a preferably transparent protective cover 22, which is pivotally connected to the welding device 1, during the implementation of the welding process. In the illustrated embodiment, the protective cover 22 can be folded over the touch screen 21. Other mechanisms, such as protective covers 22 (not shown) slidable over the touch screen 21 are also possible. The protective cover 22 has a recess 23 which, when the protective cover 22 is closed, keeps a possible combined operating element 24 located near the touch screen 21 free, so that actuation of the combined operating element 24 is possible even when the touch screen 21 is covered. The operating element 24 is preferably arranged laterally or below the touch screen 21. Of course, the same changes and adjustments can be made with the operating element 24 as directly on the touch screen 21 itself. Thus, during the execution of the welding process, the user can change certain parameter settings even with the welding gloves on via the combined operating element 24. The combined control elements 24 is preferably formed by a rotary / push controller, which can perform at least two functions. In addition to the combined control element 24, function keys 25 can be provided for triggering various frequently recurring functions, such as, for example, the threading of the welding wire 9 or the carrying out of a protective gas test procedure. Furthermore, an interface 26, for example a US-B interface, can be arranged on the current source 2, in order to enable a connection of the welding device 1 to external devices for carrying out a data or information exchange. Furthermore, interfaces, in particular Ethernet interfaces, for connecting the welding device 1 or the power source 2 to a local network or the Internet may be provided (not shown). 11/21 23-03-2012 12Printed: 26-03-2012 E014. 1 10 2012/50096 which are preferably arranged on the back of the welding device 1. Via a connection 27, a ground cable (not shown) is connected to the power source 2.
    FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of an operating unit of a current source 2 of a welding device 1 with a touch screen 21. The input / output device 18 forming touch screen 21 includes a main area 28, in which the parameters to be set are displayed and can be set or changed. According to the invention, the parameters are displayed in sequential and circumferential representation in the main area 28 of the touch screen 21. The respectively selected and adjustable parameter is highlighted in the center of the main area 28. At least one preceding and following parameter of the sequence is displayed to the left or right of the selected and adjustable parameter. Thus, in the illustrated example, three parameters are simultaneously displayed in the main area 28 of the touch screen 21, but only the highlighted parameter shown in the center is changeable or adjustable. The selected and adjustable parameter, in the example shown, the current intensity is emphasized compared to the other parameters shown by being displayed larger and, for example, colored or framed. The user can shift the individual parameters so that a variety of parameters can be moved to the center of the main area 28 as needed. The movement of the parameters takes place in the form of a so-called parameter carousel, whereby the parameter displayed adjacent to the central parameter is always shifted to the center depending on the direction of rotation, and then another parameter or the parameter represented by the previously opposite side is displayed next to the central parameter becomes. Thus, in the main area 28 of the touch screen 21 an odd number of parameters is displayed, highlighting the parameter in the center. For example, three, five, seven, etc. parameters are displayed in the main area 28. By this type of presentation, the user has the opportunity to move the parameters in the form of a carousel in both directions, ie to the left or right, and to quickly arrange the desired parameter in the center of the touch screen 21. 12/21 13Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    Preferably, above the main area 28 of the touch screen 21 is a status line 29, via which information in the form of text or icons to important settings, activated functionalities, registered user, time, date and errors present are displayed. On both sides of the main area 28 of the touch screen 21 are menu bars 30, which contain operating areas for navigation or for setting common functions. In the right menu bar 30, an operating area 31 is shown, via which the parameters shown in the carousel and their sequence can be selected or changed. Thus, the user can customize the power source 2 to his needs and select those parameters he wishes to set, change or monitor during the welding process. The user can specify the parameters to be displayed in the parameter carousel and their order individually, thus achieving optimum adaptation and always having the most important parameters available for the welding process. Via a further operating area 32 (in this case the lowest operating area in the right-hand menu bar 30), it is possible to switch to the so-called full-screen mode, which will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. The respective operating areas 31, 32 in the menu bars 30 are preferably provided with self-explanatory pictograms and / or short, explanatory texts, so that the user can operate the power source 2 without intensive study of an operating manual. Depending on the function, the text or the pictogram or symbol may also be omitted. Possible operating areas in the menu bars 30 and their functions are briefly described below. The top operating area of the left menu bar 30 concerns the menu item "Welding" selected in the case of performing a welding process. The next operating area in the left menu bar 30 with the symbols for welding torch with the text component "JOB". It is used to select different welding methods, such as standard welding, pulse welding, cold-metal transfer (CMT) welding, etc. The operating area located underneath is left in the left-hand side. 13/21 23-03-2012 14Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    Menu bar 30 with the symbol of three sliders adjusts the process parameters. When printing on this operating area, different process parameters can be set.
    The lowest operating area of the left menu bar 30 with the symbol of a welding tool with a tool key is used to define and change the presetting of the welding machine. When selecting this operating area on the touch screen 21, various basic settings, such as the type or color of representations, can be specified.
    In the right-hand menu bar 30 of the touchscreen 21, the top operating area 31 with the parameter carousel icon (three rectangles with a curved arrow) is reserved for changing the parameters of the parameter carousel. Upon selection of this operating area 31, a corresponding submenu appears on the touchscreen 21, in which the parameters which are arranged in the carousel and their order can be determined.
    The operating area below with the symbol of a rectangular function with a hook is used to switch certain special functions on and off, such as a so-called synchro pulse. With the third operating area in the right-hand menu bar 30 with the inclined square icon with an arrow, various settings can be stored as a welding job, so that these settings are available for later applications. Finally, the lowermost operating area 32 of the right-hand menu bar 30 is provided with the symbol of a rectangle with outwardly pointing arrows in the corners for switching to the above-described full-screen mode in which the menu bars 30 are hidden and the main area 28 of the touchscreen 21 is made larger ( see Fig. 4).
    Of course, upon selection of an operating area on the menu bars 30, new operating areas may appear with new sub-functions facilitating operation of the welder 1 and making changes in parameters, functions, and the like.
    FIG. 4 shows a view of the touchscreen 21 according to FIG. 3 in full-screen mode, which, after actuation of a corresponding operating area 32 on the touch screen, is displayed. FIG 21 is taken. In full-screen mode, the menu bars 30 shown laterally in FIG. 3 are hidden from the main area 28, and the main area 28 of the touchscreen 21 is shown correspondingly larger. The status line 29 preferably remains faded in, as it provides the user with important information. The full-screen mode corresponds to a simplified or reduced mode in which only the essential parts or parameters of the welding process are displayed on the touchscreen 21. For example, by touching the touch screen 21, it is possible to return to the normal mode, in which the menu bars 30 are displayed again laterally of the main area 28 of the touch screen 21 and their functions can be actuated. In this selection mode the parameters can be selected.
    In Fig. 5, the touch screen 21 is shown in the so-called setting mode, in which case corresponds to the size of the display area of the full-screen mode. For the sake of simplicity, the status line 29, which is usually arranged above the main area 28 of the touch screen 21, is not shown here. This adjustment mode is achieved by operating the combined control element 24, in particular pressing the pressure / rotary control. In this case, a scale 33 is displayed with the adjustable range of the selected parameter. In the illustrated embodiment, the selected parameter is the welding current I, which can be set between 30 and 420 A. The adjustment bar 34 indicates the currently set value for the welding current I. In addition to the adjustment bar 34, the value of the parameter can also be represented in numerical form (here 235 A). By dragging the adjustment bar 34 on the touch screen 21 or by rotating the combined control element 24, the value for the parameter (here the welding current I) can be set to the desired value. By touching the touch screen 21 or by pressing the combined control element 24, the screen is returned to full screen mode as shown in FIG. 4.
    The adjustable range of the parameter, in the case shown between 30 and 420A, is variable due to different additional parameters and / or functions. For example, at the same setting, the adjustable range of a parameter can be changed from 30 to 420A to 20 to 350A at the same setting with the material selected being changed from 30-420A. Certain parameters are used for the definition of the respective area to be set. Also, the built-in components, such as the power unit used, the wire feeder, etc. can co-determine the adjustable range. For example, using a 300A power unit does not make sense to display a range up to 420A because this current value can not be set. When exchanging the components of the welding device, therefore, the scales, in particular the setting ranges, for the parameters are defined by the characteristic numbers stored for these components.
    FIG. 6 shows a further view of the touchscreen 21 in the set-up mode, wherein the parameter of the conveying speed of the welding wire is shown. Again, the status line 29 has not been shown above the main area 28 of the touch screen 21 again. The range of values within which the conveying speed of the welding wire is adjustable amounts in the example shown between 0 and 10 m / min. The adjustment bar 34 again indicates the currently set value (here 8.6 m / min) for the parameter. In addition, the set value is also shown as a number on touchscreen 21.
    Finally, Fig. 7 shows the touch screen 21 of the welder 1 in the curve view mode. In this case, by appropriate selection of an operating area in a menu bar 30 on the touch screen 21, the currently selected parameter in the form of a time diagram 35 can be displayed graphically. In the example shown, the parameter of the welding current I is shown as a function of the time t in a part of the main area 28 of the touch screen 21. Below the time diagram 35 is still a list of parameters 36, wherein the illustrated and. selected parameter (here the welding current) highlighted accordingly, for example, framed is. Due to the time profile of the parameter (in this case the welding current I), the user can be provided in a clear manner with corresponding information about changes during the welding process. 16/21 23-03-2012 17Printed: 26-03-2012 E014.1 10 2012/50096
    It is essential here that when changing a parameter, the user can read off the effects on the characteristic curve immediately, since this changes according to the setting made.
    The present welding device 1 offers via the touch screen 21 and the combined control element 24 a particularly flexible and easy-to-use adjustment for the user or welder, which is particularly easy to adapt to the particular needs. 23-03-2012
