For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a welding process of a sound insulation box, including the following steps:

[0031] First, the four edges of the multiple metal plates that make up the soundproof box are cleaned and polished with a grinder to ensure that the edges of the metal plates to be welded are smooth, thereby ensuring the welding quality of the welds. After the edges of the metal plates are processed, all the metal plates are welded together by spot welding to form the overall structure of the soundproof box, and a weld is formed at the connection between any two metal plates;

[0032] Second, place the soundproof box formed in the above steps on a dedicated welding table, and fix the welding device in this embodiment at the geometric center of the plane on the top of the soundproof box. The welding device in this embodiment includes a chassis 1 and a welding assembly that is rotatably arranged on both sides of the chassis 1 through a telescopic rod 7 and moves along the weld line. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the welding assembly includes a first auxiliary welding plate 10 and a second auxiliary welding plate 12 which are arranged perpendicular to each other and have the same specifications. The first auxiliary welding plate 10 is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the second auxiliary welding plate 12 is arranged in the vertical direction. A first walking wheel 13 is installed at the bottom of the first auxiliary welding plate 10, and a second walking wheel 14 is installed at the bottom of the second auxiliary welding plate 12. A welding base plate 11 is connected between the first auxiliary welding plate 10 and the second auxiliary welding plate 12. During welding, the first auxiliary welding plate 10 walks on the top of the soundproof box, and the second auxiliary welding plate 12 walks on the side wall of the soundproof box, and the welding base plate 11 is just perpendicular to the weld. When the first auxiliary welding plate 10 or the second auxiliary welding plate 12 walks to the edge of the soundproof box, since the length of the welding base plate 11 is greater than the first auxiliary welding plate 10 or the second auxiliary welding plate 12, the welding gun 19 on the welding base plate 11 can The welding base plate 11 is provided with a rack 15 along its length direction on one side facing the welding seam, and limit baffles 16 are formed at both ends of the rack 15, and the limit baffles 16 are fixedly connected to the welding base plate 11, and a slider 17 is slidably connected to the rack 15. The welding gun 19 is fixed on the end face of the slider 17 facing the welding seam, and a second motor 18 is fixedly installed on the slider 17 and on one side of the welding gun 19. The motor shaft of the second motor 18 passes through the slider 17 and is driven to be connected to a gear meshing with the rack 15. The welding gun 19 slides along the rack 15 and is driven by the second motor 18. The second motor 18 drives the gear to rotate, and the gear meshes with the rack 15, so the slider 17 is driven to move linearly along the rack 15, and the reciprocating linear motion of the welding gun 19 is realized by the forward and reverse rotation of the second motor 18. There are four laser collimators 20 distributed in a rectangular shape on the circumferential surface of the chassis 1. When the chassis 1 is fixed at the geometric center of the sound insulation box, first find the center of each edge of the top of the sound insulation box with a tool ruler, and then start four or any two adjacent laser collimators 20 to align the light emitted by the laser collimators 20 with the midpoint of the edge. At this time, the chassis 1 is set exactly at the geometric center of the sound insulation box.

[0033] Third, the welding device in the present invention also includes a fixed shell 3 arranged at the center of the chassis 1 and fixed on the chassis 1 through a support column 2. The interior of the fixed shell 3 is in a cavity shape. Two arc-shaped notches 5 are formed on the circumferential surface of the fixed shell 3. The interior of the fixed shell 3 is rotatably connected to a turntable 6. A first motor 4 is installed on the top of the fixed shell 3. The output end of the first motor 4 extends downward to the interior of the fixed shell 3 and is fixedly connected to the center of the turntable 6. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 7 passes through the arc-shaped notch 5 and is fixed on the circumferential surface of the turntable 6. A hinge seat 9 is installed on the top of the first auxiliary welding plate 10 adjacent to one side edge of the fixed shell 3. The movable end of the telescopic rod 7 is connected to the hinge seat 9, and a spring 8 is connected between the fixed end of the telescopic rod 7 and the hinge seat 9. Start the welding device to complete the welding of the two relatively set welds, keep the position of the welding device stationary, rotate it 90 degrees, and complete the welding of the other two welds. Specifically, start the first motor 4 to drive the turntable 6 to rotate inside the fixed shell 3, and the telescopic rod 7 drives the first auxiliary welding plate 10 to form a rotation trend. However, due to the limiting effect of the second auxiliary welding plate 12, the entire welding assembly can only move linearly along the weld there. While the first auxiliary welding plate 10 moves linearly along the weld, the telescopic rod 7 continuously retracts and contracts to cooperate with the movement of the welding assembly. When the telescopic rod 7 is extended, the spring 8 thereon is in a stretched state, thereby forming a pulling force on the second auxiliary welding plate 12, so that the entire welding assembly is firmly clamped at the weld. The first motor 4 drives the turntable 6 to rotate, and the two welding assemblies move in opposite directions of the two welds to complete the welding operation on them. After the two welds are welded, the two welding assemblies return to the initial state (the midpoint of the two welds), and the two welding assemblies are stretched outward to meet their rotation to the other two welds, and then the same operation steps are used to complete the welding of the other two welds.

[0034] Fourth, turn the soundproof box upside down so that the bottom of the soundproof box faces upward, fix the welding device at the plane geometric center of the bottom of the soundproof box in the same way as above, and repeat the above operation to complete the welding of the four welds at the bottom of the soundproof box.

[0035] Fifth, after completing the above steps, the sound insulation box completes the welding of eight welds, and then the welding device is fixed in sequence at the geometric centers of the two opposite side walls of the sound insulation box, so that the welding assembly is installed at the weld on the side wall, and the first motor 4 and the second motor 18 are started at the same time, and the welding gun 19 moves on the weld here to complete the welding of the remaining welds.

[0036] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
