Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of large and medium-sized special industrial robot equipment, and in particular to a five-axis special welding robot. Background Art

[0002] Industrial robots can replace human labor to complete long-term and high-intensity repetitive labor under various complex working conditions and high-risk and harmful environments, and work with high automation. As the third major processing method in mechanical manufacturing, a certain percentage of steel production needs to be manufactured into products by welding methods. In industries such as power station boilers, pressure vessels, nuclear power facilities, chemical equipment manufacturing, and ocean engineering, special welding robots have a wide market for the welding of various closed circumferential joints and the saddle-shaped welds used for the connection between nozzles and cylinders or elliptical heads.

[0003] Taking the welding of saddle-shaped nozzles as an example, for the welding of pressure-bearing components, the submerged arc welding process is mostly used. There are many workpiece specifications, small batches, large welding amounts, and the welding device needs to rotate infinitely, and be able to plan the motion trajectory and adjust the posture of the welding torch. Traditional six-axis articulated industrial robots have certain limitations in the application of spatial continuous closed trajectories. In more cases, an external coordinate walking axis needs to be added to the six-axis articulated industrial robot system to expand the application range of the robot. For the continuous rotary welding of the saddle-shaped nozzle submerged arc process, there is almost no possibility of application.

[0004] Therefore, how to enable industrial robots to achieve both the application of spatial continuous closed trajectories and large spatial accessibility in applications, be suitable for various process requirements, and at the same time combine the characteristics of special welding machines to achieve path planning and welding torch posture planning under applications such as infinite rotary submerged arc welding, multi-layer and multi-pass welding, with high system flexibility and versatility, and reduce the integration application cost of the robot system is a technical problem that researchers urgently need to solve.

A five-axis special-purpose welding robot according to claim 4, characterized in that a second servo motor (401), a second RV reducer (402), a second hollow transmission shaft (403), and a second bearing component (404) are provided between the first boom component (4) and the second boom component (5). Among them, the second RV reducer (402) is fixedly installed at the extended end of the first boom component (4). The input end of the second RV reducer (402) is connected to the second servo motor (401). The second hollow transmission shaft (403) is installed on the output flange surface of the second RV reducer (402) and is fitted with the inner bore of the bearing of the second bearing component (404). The second bearing component (404) is supported on the first boom component (4). The shaft end of the second hollow transmission shaft (403) is fixedly installed with the second boom component (5) to form a second-level horizontal rotary shaft pair.

6. A five-axis special-purpose welding robot according to claim 5, characterized in that the infinitely rotatable welding head component (8) is rotatably supported and connected to the second boom component (5). The first joint drive component (6) composed of a support, a servo motor, a harmonic reducer, and a drive gear is fixedly installed on the corresponding connection surface at the front end of the second boom component (5). The servo motor cable passes through the second boom component (5) and the first boom component (4). The first joint drive component (6) drives the infinitely rotatable welding head component (8) to horizontally rotate to form a third-level horizontal rotary shaft pair. The second joint drive component (7) drives the swing angle device of the infinitely rotatable welding head component (8) to vertically rotate to form a vertical rotary shaft pair.
