While you can disable the auto-lock function from iPad settings, the iPad will always lock in some circumstances.

You can disable the Auto-Lock function here:

Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock - set to Never

While not recommended, should you choose to do so, you can completely disable the device Passcode. However, in so doing, be aware that you will fully disable many functions of your iPad:

Settings > TouchID | FaceID & Passcode > Turn Passcode Off
