Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sheet metal processing, and more specifically, to a sheet metal welding tool and a welding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sheet metal parts refer to thin metal products processed by sheet metal technology. Sheet metal technology mainly involves cutting, bending, forming, welding and other operations on metal plates (such as steel plates, aluminum plates, copper plates, etc.), thereby transforming the original flat materials into parts with specific shapes and functions. These parts are widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, automobile industry, electronic equipment, aerospace, etc. Sheet metal parts often need to be welded by welding tools during processing.

[0003] However, traditional welding tools often use mechanical clamping devices to fix the workpiece by applying clamping force to the workpiece through mechanical structure. During the clamping process, the part where the clamp contacts the workpiece surface will generate greater pressure. For some soft sheet metal parts or workpieces with high surface accuracy requirements, this pressure can easily leave indentations on the workpiece surface. For example, when processing some high-precision electronic equipment housing sheet metal parts, the clamping of the mechanical clamp may damage the flatness of its appearance and affect the product quality. Moreover, if the clamping force is uneven or too large, it may also cause the workpiece to deform, change the original shape and dimensional accuracy of the workpiece, and cause problems in subsequent processing or assembly. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide a welding tool that reduces damage when fixing sheet metal parts. In view of this, we propose a sheet metal welding tool and a welding method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0024] A welding method for a sheet metal welding tool comprises the following steps:

[0025] S1: Adsorption loading. When welding normal sheet metal parts, the adsorption assembly is driven by the robot arm to move to the loading position of the sheet metal parts. The vacuum pump creates negative pressure in the adsorption plate through the conduit, and adsorbs the sheet metal parts through the adsorption holes, driving the sheet metal parts to move to the movable processing platform assembly.

[0026] S2: table adaptation: the first servo motor works to drive the cable reel to rotate, the cable reel drives the traction cable to move, the traction cable pulls the corner column to move, the corner column drives the table to deflect on the universal support joint, so as to adapt to the bottom end of the sheet metal, and cooperate with the mechanical arm and the adsorption component to adjust the sheet metal to be welded to a suitable welding position;

[0027] S3: Hole position limited suction. When welding smaller sheet metal parts, the second servo motor drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the gear ring, the gear ring drives the linear drive motor to rotate, and the linear drive motor drives the push block to move, so that the push block pushes the outer blocking rod into the adsorption hole through the follower block. The blocking rod passes through the adsorption hole, and the spring pushes the buckle block to pop up and buckle the blocking rod. The blocking rod blocks the outer adsorption holes that do not play an adsorption role, ensuring that the remaining adsorption holes can work normally.

[0028] S4: Restore suction. When welding normal sheet metal parts again, the fourth servo motor drives the second connecting rod to rotate downward, the third servo motor drives the rocker arm to rotate, and the rocker arm drives the reset rod to rotate. After the rocker arm rotates a certain angle, the cylinder drives the rocker arm to move through the first connecting rod, so that the reset rod is inserted into the adsorption hole, pushing back the blocking rod, so that the adsorption hole is connected again, and the adsorption effect is provided again.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The present invention provides an adsorption plate with a cavity and a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump can form a negative pressure inside the adsorption plate, so that the adsorption plate can play an adsorption role when it is attached to the external sheet metal. Compared with traditional mechanical clamps, vacuum adsorption does not need to directly clamp the surface of the sheet metal, thereby avoiding scratches, indentations and other damages to the surface of the sheet metal during the grasping and fixing process. The present invention uses vacuum adsorption to grasp the sheet metal, which helps to maintain the appearance quality and surface integrity of the sheet metal.

[0031] 2. The present invention sets a movable processing platform component, and the table of the movable processing platform component can be tilted at any angle, so as to cooperate with the mechanical arm that clamps the sheet metal to adjust the position of the sheet metal. In the welding process of the sheet metal, it is sometimes necessary to tilt the sheet metal at a certain angle to ensure that the weld is in the best position and facilitate the operation of the welding tool. This function of tilting at any angle can meet the requirements of different welding processes and complex weld shapes. Whether it is flat welding, vertical welding or oblique welding, the ideal welding position can be achieved by adjusting the table angle. The present invention can meet the requirements of different welding processes and complex weld shapes by adopting a movable processing platform component.

[0032] 3. The present invention cooperates with the spring, the annular groove and the buckle block to make the buckle block contract when the blocking rod passes through the adsorption hole, and the buckle block extends after passing through the adsorption hole to limit the movement of the blocking rod. This precise position limiting effect can ensure that the blocking rod remains in a specific position during blocking, thereby ensuring the stable blocking state of the adsorption hole. The present invention can prevent the blocking rod from accidentally moving due to slight external vibrations or other interference factors through the limiting effect of the buckle block, thereby ensuring the blocking effect of the blocking rod and preventing the sheet metal parts on the adsorption plate from falling off.

[0033] 4. The present invention sets a blocking control component. When it is necessary to grab a smaller sheet metal part, the blocking control component can selectively block the adsorption holes according to the size of the sheet metal part. When grabbing a smaller sheet metal part, the adsorption holes that cannot function are blocked by control, leaving only the adsorption holes in contact with the sheet metal part to generate adsorption force. This precise control method can ensure that the adsorption force is concentrated in the effective area, avoiding the situation where the adsorption force is dispersed due to too many adsorption holes and the small sheet metal part cannot be effectively grabbed. The present invention can selectively block the adsorption holes through the blocking control component, thereby ensuring the strength of the adsorption force when adsorbing small sheet metal parts.

[0034] 5. The present invention sets a blocking reset component, in which the reset rod corresponds one-to-one to the limit rod on the radial direction of the adsorption plate. During the reset process, the blocking rod can accurately return to the initial position, that is, the state of not blocking the adsorption hole. When it is necessary to switch the grabbing of sheet metal parts of different sizes, or after completing the processing of a sheet metal part, it is necessary to reopen the previously blocked adsorption hole, the reset rod can accurately push the blocking rod according to the preset position relationship, so that the adsorption hole returns to a normal working state, ensuring that the next adsorption operation can be carried out normally. The precise reset function of the present invention enables the pickup component to quickly switch between the blocked and non-blocked states, improving the adaptability of the equipment to different processing scenarios.

In the welding process of the sheet metal, it is sometimes necessary to tilt the sheet metal at a certain angle to ensure that the weld is in the best position and facilitate the operation of the welding tool. This function of tilting at any angle can meet the requirements of different welding processes and complex weld shapes. Whether it is flat welding, vertical welding or oblique welding, the ideal welding position can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the table 301. The present invention can meet the requirements of different welding processes and complex weld shapes by adopting the movable processing platform assembly 3.

[0057] It is worth mentioning that Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the picking component 4 of the present invention also includes a blocking component 403, which includes a blocking rod 4031, an annular groove 4032, a spring groove 4033, a spring 4034, and a snap block 4035; the blocking rod 4031 is slidably connected in the adsorption hole 4022, and one end of the blocking rod 4031 passes through the other side of the adsorption plate 4021 and extends to the outside, the annular groove 4032 is opened at the other end of the blocking rod 4031, and four spring grooves 4033 are equidistantly arranged radially on the annular groove 4032, the rod body of the snap block 4035 is slidably connected in the spring groove 4033, and the rod body of the snap block 4035 is connected to the spring groove 4033 through the spring 4034, the snap block 4035 is a fan-shaped structure, and the annular structure composed of four snap blocks 4035 is adapted to the annular groove 4032.

[0061] The present invention sets a blocking control component 404. When it is necessary to grab a smaller sheet metal part, the blocking control component 404 can selectively block the adsorption holes 4022 according to the size of the sheet metal part. When grabbing a smaller sheet metal part, the adsorption holes 4022 that cannot function are blocked by control, leaving only the adsorption holes 4022 in contact with the sheet metal part to generate adsorption force. This precise control method can ensure that the adsorption force is concentrated in the effective area, avoiding the situation where the adsorption force is dispersed due to too many adsorption holes 4022 and the small sheet metal part cannot be effectively grabbed.
