[0047] refer to figure 1 As shown, the clamping member 10 includes a clamping driving member 101 that can be opened and has three positioning protrusions 102. The three positioning protrusions 102 are distributed at both ends and the middle of the circular arc portion of the clamping driving member 101, so The clamping drive 101 is adapted to be mounted on the indexer or servo motor 112 of the rotating part 11 and rotates along with the indexer or servo motor 112 .
[0048] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the rotating part 11 includes a fixed seat 111 and an indexer or a servo motor 112 . The fixed seat 111 is installed on the frame 6 , and the indexer or the servo motor 112 is adapted to be installed on the fixed seat 111 and rotates vertically relative to the welding position of the robot welding torch 12 . The indexer or servo motor 112 rotates vertically relative to the welding position of the robot welding torch 12 for at least four times. In the present application, the indexer or servo motor 112 rotates vertically relative to the welding position of the robot welding torch 12 for 4 times, and each time rotates 90 degrees, thereby driving the heat exchange preform 1 to rotate relative to the robot welding torch 12 to continuously complete the cylinder. Welding of straight seam 3, circular seam 4 of cylinder head, and circular seam 5 of cylinder bottom.
[0049] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the robotic welding torch 12 includes a rotary drive base 121 , a robotic arm 122 , and a welding torch 123 . The rotary drive base 121 is adapted to be installed on the frame 6 and rotates relative to the frame 6 , the mechanical arm 122 is adapted to be installed on the rotary drive base 121 and rotates with the rotary drive base 121 , and the welding gun 123 is adapted to be installed on the mechanical arm 122 . The swing end can move linearly or circularly with the swing end of the mechanical arm 122 . That is, by using the rotary drive seat 121, the mechanical arm 122 can be driven to rotate to each group of automatic tooling devices, and the heat exchange preforms 1 of each group of automatic tooling devices can be continuously welded, so as to realize batch welding processing and ensure the welding effect. .
[0050] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, the working principle and working process of the automatic welding tooling equipment for heat exchangers are as follows:
[0051] First, install the heat exchange preform 1 on the mounting seat 7, and then connect the cylindrical straight seam 3 of the heat exchange preform 1 with the positioning line 14 on the mounting seat 7, so as to effectively ensure the straight seam 3 of the cylindrical body and the welding track. consistency.
[0052] Then, the automatic tooling device operates, the push rod of the lift driving cylinder 82 pushes the lift table 81 to rise, and the lift table 81 drives the heat exchange preform 1 to rise. In practical applications, the lifting height of the lifting platform 81 can be adjusted to ensure that the circumferential seam 4 of the cylinder head and the circumferential seam 5 of the bottom of the cylinder are respectively consistent with the welding trajectory.
[0053] After rising to the designated position, the push drive lever 92 is activated. The push driving rod 92 moves forward and pushes the heat exchange preform 1 , so that the heat exchange preform 1 is pushed to the jaw position of the clamping part 10 . The clamping part 10 operates, and the clamping drive 101 of the clamping part 10 clamps the heat exchange preform 1 . Because the clamping driving member 101 has three positioning protrusions 102, the three positioning protrusions 102 are distributed at both ends and the middle of the circular arc portion of the clamping driving member 101, thereby realizing the positioning and operation of the center of the heat exchange preform 1 determined by three points. The center of the track is the same, and it also ensures that the heat exchange preform 1 will not fall off during rotation, which enhances the running stability and ensures the processing quality of the product.
[0054] At this time, the push rod of the elevating drive cylinder 82 is lowered and reset, and the push drive rod 92 is moved backward and reset. The effective movement space is given back, so that the heat exchange preform 1 can have a rotation space, so as to ensure that the heat exchange preform 1 corresponds to the horizontal welding angle requirement of the welding torch 123 .
[0055] Then, the robot torch 12 operates. The robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to perform horizontal welding on the circumferential seam 4 of the cylinder head. During this period, the welding torch 123 horizontally welds the inner circumferential seam 41 of the barrel head, the outer circumferential seam 43 of the barrel head, and the middle circumferential seam 42 of the barrel head in sequence, effectively cooling the inner circumferential seam 41 of the barrel head and the outer ring of the barrel head Over-temperature welding occurs between the seams 43 to avoid welding occlusion.
[0056] After the cylinder head girth 4 is welded, the robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to reset, and the indexer or servo motor 112 drives the clamping part 10 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the cylinder bottom girth 5 rotates to the designated position.
[0057] The robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to perform horizontal welding on the circumferential seam 5 of the bottom cover of the cylinder. During this period, the welding torch 123 horizontally welds the inner circumferential seam 51 of the cylindrical body bottom cover, the outer circumferential seam 53 of the cylindrical body bottom cover, and the middle circumferential seam 52 of the cylindrical body bottom cover, effectively cooling the inner circumferential seam 51 of the cylindrical body bottom cover and the outer circumferential seam 53 of the cylindrical body bottom cover. Warm welding to avoid welding occlusion.
[0058] After the circular seam 5 on the bottom cover of the cylinder body is welded, the robot arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to reset, and the indexer or servo motor 112 drives the clamping part 10 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the straight seam 3 of the cylinder body rotates to the designated position.
[0059] The robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to move and weld in a straight line while maintaining a horizontal state on the straight seam 3 of the cylinder. Subsequently, the robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to reset to the front end of the straight seam 3 of the cylinder body, and horizontally welds the reinforcement seam 31 at the front end of the straight seam 3 of the cylindrical body; The end welding strengthens the seam 31.
[0060] Then, the robotic arm 122 drives the welding torch 123 to reset, and at the same time, the indexer or the servo motor 112 drives the clamping part 10 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the straight seam 3 on the other side of the cylinder rotates to the designated position. Similarly, the straight seam 3 and the reinforcing seam 31 on the other side of the cylinder body are welded by the welding torch 123 . In this way, the processing of a heat exchange preform 1 is completed. Immediately, the rotary drive base 121 drives the mechanical arm 122 to rotate to the next group of automatic tooling devices to process the next heat exchange preform 1 .
[0061] It is worth noting that during welding, the welding torch 123 is always horizontally welded on the straight seam 3 of the cylinder body, the circumferential seam 4 of the cylinder head, and the circular seam 5 of the bottom cover of the cylinder, and the welding angle of the welding torch 123 is perpendicular to the welded heat exchange preform 1 . On the basis of the level of the welding process, adjust the welding operation angle according to the requirements of the welding process to ensure the welding quality.
[0062] The above-mentioned specific embodiments are only specific implementations of the present invention with better effects, and all automatic welding methods and equipment for heat exchangers with the same or equivalent structure as those of the present invention are all within the protection scope of the present application.
