[0035] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting motor 6, a wire turn 7 and a steel wire rope 8. The lifting motor 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 3, the output end of the lifting motor 6 is fixedly connected to the wire turn 7, one end of the steel wire rope 8 is connected to the wire turn 7 and wound around the wire turn 7, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 9. At least one chute 901 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate 9, in this embodiment, there are two chutes 901, and the length directions of the two chutes 901 are parallel. A connecting column 10 is slidably connected to the inside of each of the two chutes 901, and the lower surface of the connecting column 10 is fixedly connected to the jaw assembly.

[0036] The jaw assembly includes a hollow mounting box 11, a threaded rod 12, a jaw motor 16, and two oppositely arranged clamping plates 17. The upper surface of the mounting box 11 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of two connecting columns 10. The threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to two opposite side walls of the mounting box 11. Two sections of threads with opposite helix directions are provided along the length direction of the threaded rod 12. Threaded rod sleeves 13 are respectively sleeved on the two sections of threads. The lower surfaces of the two threaded rod sleeves 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the two clamping plates 17. A steel box girder 24 is clamped between the two clamping plates 17. The jaw motor 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting box 11, and its output end is connected to the threaded rod 12, and is used to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate so that the two clamping plates 17 move towards or away from each other, thereby realizing clamping or loosening of the steel box girder 24 by the two clamping plates 17.

[0037] Further, a slide rod 14 parallel to the threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected between two opposite side walls inside the mounting box 11. Two sliding sleeves 15 are slidably connected to the slide rod 14. The two sliding sleeves 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two threaded rod sleeves 13, which has a limiting effect and ensures that the threaded sleeve can move stably along the length direction of the slide rod 14.

[0038] Further, a friction pad 18 is provided on the clamping surface of the clamping plate 17, which has the effect of avoiding clamping marks on the steel box girder 24.

The longitudinal motor 19 is fixed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 9, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the above two gears 20; the rack 21 is fixedly connected to the upper inner surface of the mounting box 11. The longitudinal motor 19 drives the gear 20 to rotate. Through the meshing between the gear 20 and the rack 21, the jaw assembly and the steel box girder clamped by the jaw assembly are driven to move longitudinally, which has the effect of adjusting the position of the steel box girder 24.

The cylinder 22 drives the mounting plate 9 to move, and then drives the steel box girder to move, which has the effect of adjusting the position of the steel box girder 24. Since the mounting block 23 slides on the vertical track 201, the moving position of the mounting plate 9 in the vertical direction is restricted. Therefore, the vertical track 201 also has a limiting effect, restricting the up and down moving position of the jaw assembly, and further restricting the up and down moving position of the clamped steel box girder 24.

[0041] The output ends of the controller are electrically connected to the input ends of the lifting motor 6, the longitudinal motor 19, the air cylinder 22 and the gripper motor 16 respectively.

The two infrared locators cooperate to realize the automatic positioning of the steel box girder 24.

[0043] The steel box girder welding positioning device provided by this embodiment can hoist and position the steel box girder during use, and judge the position of the steel box girder 24 through the provided infrared locator. The infrared locator can be adjusted appropriately according to the working requirements, so as to control the docking parameters within the allowable error range, reduce the error of welding forming, avoid the phenomenon of uneven stress on the bridge after erection, reduce the probability of safety accidents caused by uneven stress on the bridge, and improve the safety of the project.

[0044] The usage steps of the steel box girder welding positioning device provided by this embodiment are as follows:

[0045] S1. Start the lifting motor 6. The lifting motor 6 drives the wire turn 7 to rotate, releases the steel wire rope 8, and makes the clamping plate 17 move to the position of the steel box girder 24 under the action of gravity;

[0046] S2. Start the gripper motor 16. The gripper motor 16 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Since the thread directions at both ends of the threaded rod 12 are opposite, the two threaded rod sleeves 13 drive the clamping plate 17 to move along the direction of the slide rod 14, achieving the effect of clamping and fixing the steel box girder 24;

[0047] S3. Start the lifting motor 6. The lifting motor 6 drives the wire turn 7 to rotate in the reverse direction, winds the steel wire rope 8, and makes the gripper assembly drive the steel box girder to move upward to the working position:

[0048] S4. Adjust the position of the steel box girder, judge the position of the steel box girder 24 through the infrared locator, and make appropriate adjustments according to the working requirements:

[0049] (1) Height adjustment: Drive the wire turn 7 to rotate through the lifting motor 6, and then drive the steel box girder to move up and down to adjust its height;

[0050] (2) Lateral adjustment: Drive the mounting plate 9 to move laterally through the air cylinder 22, and then drive the steel box girder to move laterally to adjust its lateral position;

[0051] (3)Vertical adjustment: The longitudinal motor 19 drives the gear 20 to rotate. Through the cooperation between the gear 20 and the rack 21, the installation box 11 and the steel girder box are driven to move longitudinally, achieving the effect of adjusting their longitudinal positions.

[0052] S5. When the position of the steel box girder 24 meets the working requirements, the welding work can be carried out.

[0053] In summary, for the steel box girder welding positioning device, during use, it can hoist and position the steel girder box, and through the infrared positioning instrument, judge the position of the steel box girder 24. It can be appropriately adjusted according to the working requirements, so as to control the butt joint parameters within the allowable error range, reduce the error of the welded shape, avoid uneven stress on the bridge after erection, and solve the potential risk of safety accidents caused by uneven stress on the bridge after erection.
