Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding, and in particular to a front welding fixture and equipment for piston engine gas tank accessories. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, air compressors are devices used to compress gases and are widely used in various industries. As an essential component of air compressors, the market demand for air receivers is increasing. However, the current manufacturing process for air receivers is still very outdated, especially the supports around the outer perimeter of the tank. These supports are numerous, and each has a different shape and installation location. In existing technology, each support is welded manually, one by one. However, this method not only fails to guarantee the precision of the welding, but also results in inconsistent placement of each support on the tank body, and the welding quality is also affected by the skill level of the workers, leading to inconsistent results.
[0003] Existing gas tank welding equipment, such as the Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN209632429U, publication date: 20191115), discloses a gas tank welding fixture, including a fixture worktable. The worktable is equipped with a fixed seat assembly and a movable seat assembly for positioning the gas tank. The fixed seat assembly and the movable seat assembly are arranged opposite each other. A limiting rod for positioning the gas tank is also provided on the worktable, positioned between the fixed seat assembly and the movable seat assembly. This utility model utilizes the combined action of the fixed seat assembly, the movable seat assembly, and the limiting rod to position the gas tank. Combined with a welding robot, the entire gas tank can be welded in one operation, effectively improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. Furthermore, this gas tank welding fixture has a simple structure, is easy to operate, has low manufacturing cost, and is easy to promote and use.
[0004] However, the above welding equipment has the following problems: when welding accessories, the gas tank can only weld one accessory at a time, resulting in low welding efficiency. Furthermore, when welding different accessories, the gas tank and accessories need to be repositioned and repeatedly disassembled, which further reduces the welding efficiency.

[0030] A welding device for piston compressor gas tank accessories includes a fixture, a welding robot, and a positioner. The fixture bridge 5 has its two ends mounted on the positioner; the welding robot is located on one side of the positioner.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixture includes a fixture bridge plate 5, on which a first fixed station is provided. The first fixed station is used to fix the bottom of the tank towards the fixture bridge plate 5. The first fixed station is provided with a first tank fixing device 6 for positioning and clamping the tank and a first accessory fixing device 7 for positioning and clamping the various accessories on the tank.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the volume of the gas storage tank in this embodiment is 24L. The gas storage tank 10 includes a tank body 101, which is a horizontally arranged cylindrical shape. End caps 102 are provided at both ends of the tank body 101, with a nameplate 103 on the end cap 102 at the head end. A switch foot connector 104 and a three-way connector 105 are provided on the upper surface of the tank body 101 near the head end. A handle 106 is provided on one side of the head end of the tank body 101. A machine plate 107 for mounting a screw compressor is provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the middle part of the tank body, with a through hole running vertically through the machine plate. A handle 108 is provided on the upper surface of the tank body near the tail end. A foot support connector 109 and a drain connector 110 are provided on the lower surface of the tank body near the head end. A wheel bracket 111 for mounting wheels is provided on the lower surface of the tank body near the tail end.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first tank fixing device 6 includes a tank sidewall positioning block 61, a tank clamping cylinder 62, a tank clamping arm 63, and a tank clamping block 64. The top surface of the tank sidewall positioning block 61 is an arc shape that conforms to the curvature of the tank sidewall, facilitating the support and positioning of the tank side. The tank clamping cylinder 62 is located below the tank sidewall positioning block 61. The tank clamping cylinder 62 has two output ends, one at the front and one at the rear. A tank clamping arm 63 is provided on each of the two output ends. The two tank clamping arms 63 are arranged facing each other, and the tank sidewall positioning block 61 is located between the two tank clamping arms 63. The tank clamping arm 63 includes a mounting part 631 and a clamping part 632. The lower end of the mounting part 631 is mounted on the tank clamping cylinder 62, and the upper end of the mounting part 631 is mounted on the clamping part 632. The clamping part 632 includes at least two clamping bars 6321 arranged horizontally. The clamping bars 6321 extend longitudinally, and the upper and lower ends of the clamping bars 6321 are bent inward in the clamping direction. Tank clamping blocks 64 are provided on the upper and lower ends.
[0035] The first tank fixing device 6 is used as follows: The gas storage tank is placed horizontally in the first tank fixing device 6, and the side wall of the bottom of the tank is made to fit with the side wall positioning block 61. The tank is initially positioned by the side wall positioning block 61. Then, the axial position of the tank is adjusted so that it corresponds to the position of the part to be welded. Then, the tank clamping cylinder 62 drives the front and rear tank clamping arms 63 to move towards the tank, clamping the front and rear sides of the tank. When clamping, the tank clamping block 64 presses against the side wall of the tank.
[0036] The first tank fixing device 6 solves the problem in the prior art where the clamping device causes a large area of obstruction to the side of the tank during clamping. While this ensures the tank's position is fixed, it makes it difficult for the welding torch to enter the welding position during subsequent welding, which is detrimental to the welding of other accessories on the tank. The advantage of the first tank fixing device 6 is that the clamping part 632 includes at least two clamping bars 6321 arranged horizontally, so that the clamping force is distributed on the left and right sides of the tank, which helps to improve the stability of clamping and reduces the obstruction to the tank, making it easier to weld other accessories later. The top surface of the tank side wall positioning block 61 is an arc shape that adapts to the curvature of the tank side wall, so that the tank side wall can be completely fitted against the arc-shaped top surface, which helps to support and position the tank side wall and ensure the initial positioning effect of the tank. The upper and lower ends of the clamping bars 6321 are bent in the clamping direction, which helps to increase the contact area between the tank clamping block 64 and the tank side wall, thereby improving the clamping effect. The two tank clamping arms 63, one at the front and one at the back, are driven simultaneously by the tank clamping cylinder 62. This ensures that the tank clamping blocks 64 are pressed firmly against the side wall of the tank, preventing the tank from moving and ensuring that its position remains fixed. This also allows the parts to be welded to be positioned on both the upper and lower surfaces, facilitating their installation and positioning.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the first accessory fixing device 7 includes a foot positioning assembly 71, a wheel bracket positioning assembly 72, a switch foot connector positioning assembly 73, a tee connector positioning assembly 74, and a nameplate positioning assembly 75.

Switch foot connector positioning assembly 73 is used to press the switch foot connector onto the tank body from above. T-connector positioning assembly 74 is used to press the tee connector onto the tank body from above. Nameplate positioning assembly 75 is used to press the nameplate onto the end cap at the head end of the tank body.
[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, since the gas tank's feet in this embodiment are foot-mounted pipes, the foot-mounted positioning assembly 71 includes a foot-mounted pipe positioning seat 711 and a foot-mounted pipe positioning post 712. The foot-mounted pipe positioning seat 711 is fixedly installed and located on one side of the first tank body fixing device 6.

[0040] When positioning the foot support tube, the lower interface of the foot support tube is placed into the foot support tube positioning part 7122, and under the guidance of the foot support tube positioning part 7122, the foot support tube continues to move downward, so that the bottom of the foot support tube is in contact with the upper end surface of the foot support tube support part 7121, thus completing the positioning of the foot support tube.
[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the wheel bracket positioning assembly 72 includes a wheel bracket positioning seat 721, wheel bracket positioning long rods 722, and wheel bracket positioning short rods 723. The lower part of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721 is mounted on the clamping bridge plate 5. The upper surface of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721 serves as a support surface for supporting the wheel bracket. Longitudinally extending wheel bracket positioning long rods 722 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721, with the upper ends of the long rods 722 exceeding the upper surface of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721. The distance between the two long wheel bracket positioning rods 722 is adapted to the length of the wheel bracket, and the long rods 722 are used to position the wheel bracket along its length. Multiple longitudinally extending wheel bracket positioning short rods 723 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721, with the upper ends of the short rods 723 exceeding the upper surface of the wheel bracket positioning seat 721.

The switch foot connector positioning drive component 731 has the switch foot connector positioning rotating shaft 732 at its output end, which is positioned laterally. The lower end of the switch foot connector pressing arm 733 is mounted on the switch foot connector positioning rotating shaft 732. The switch foot connector positioning drive component 731 drives the switch foot connector positioning rotating shaft 732 to rotate, causing the switch foot connector pressing arm 733 to flip in a vertical plane. The upper end of the switch foot connector pressing arm 733, facing the first fixed position, has the switch foot connector clamping column 734. The switch foot connector clamping column 734 includes a switch foot connector clamping part 7341 and a switch foot connector positioning part 7342. The width of the switch foot connector clamping part 7341 is greater than the outer diameter of the switch foot connector, and the switch foot connector clamping part 7341 is used to clamp the top of the switch foot connector. A switch foot connector positioning part 7342 is provided below the switch foot connector clamping part 7341. The switch foot connector positioning part 7342 is cylindrical and the diameter of the cylinder is adapted to the inner diameter of the switch foot connector. The bottom of the switch foot connector positioning part 7342 is chamfered.
[0044] When positioning the switch foot connector, the switch foot connector is first initially placed on the switch foot interface of the tank by manual operation. Then, the switch foot connector positioning drive component 731 drives the switch foot connector positioning shaft 732 to rotate, causing the switch foot connector pressure arm 733 to flip in the vertical plane, pressing the switch foot connector clamping column 734 onto the top of the switch foot connector. During clamping, the switch foot connector positioning part 7342 first extends into the interface at the top of the switch foot connector, and then the switch foot connector clamping part 7341 presses against the top surface of the switch foot connector, thus clamping the switch foot connector onto the tank.
[0045] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, the tee connector positioning assembly 74 includes a tee connector positioning drive component 741, a tee connector positioning rotating shaft 742, a tee connector pressure arm 743, and a tee connector clamping column 744.

The bottom of the T-connector positioning part 7442 is chamfered.
[0046] When positioning the tee connector, the tee connector is first initially placed on the tee interface of the tank by manual operation. Then, the tee connector positioning drive component 741 drives the tee connector positioning rotating shaft 742 to rotate, causing the tee connector pressure arm 743 to flip in the vertical plane, pressing the tee connector clamping column 744 onto the top of the tee connector. During clamping, the tee connector positioning part 7442 first extends into the interface at the top of the tee connector, and then the tee connector clamping part 7441 presses against the top surface of the tee connector, thus clamping the tee connector onto the tank.

The nameplate side limit blocks 755 are used to limit the nameplate around its perimeter.
[0048] When positioning the nameplate, the nameplate is first placed on the end cap at the head of the tank by manual means. Then, the nameplate positioning drive component 751 drives the nameplate positioning shaft 752 to rotate, causing the nameplate pressure arm 753 to flip in the vertical plane and press the nameplate pressure plate 754 onto the nameplate. At the same time, the side limiting block 755 of the nameplate fits against the four sides of the nameplate, positioning the nameplate on the tank.
[0049] The first tank fixing device 6 and the first accessory fixing device 7 work together to solve the problem of low welding efficiency caused by the inability to weld only one accessory at a time when welding accessories from the gas storage tank. Furthermore, the need to reposition the gas storage tank and accessories for welding different accessories, resulting in repeated disassembly and assembly, further reduces welding efficiency. The advantage of the first accessory fixing device 7 is that it completes the installation and positioning of the switch foot connector, tee connector, pad, nameplate, and wheel bracket on the gas storage tank within a single workstation. This allows the gas storage tank and accessories to be positioned only once before welding. Before positioning the gas storage tank, the pad and wheel bracket are positioned using the pad positioning assembly 71 and the wheel bracket positioning assembly 72. Then, the first tank fixing device 6 horizontally positions the tank within the workstation, facilitating the finding of the reference surface and improving the accuracy of accessory positioning and welding quality. Finally, the switch foot connector positioning assembly 73, the tee connector positioning assembly 74, and the nameplate positioning assembly 75 respectively position the switch foot connector, tee connector, and nameplate, achieving accessory positioning and ensuring that multiple accessories can be welded in one workstation, thus improving production efficiency.
