Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hopper welding, in particular to robot-linked welding processing equipment for hoppers and a manufacturing process thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the operations in factories are manual, and welding can only be completed through multiple clamping and positioning and multiple flipping at different angles. The efficiency is low and the reliability is poor. However, as enterprises have higher and higher requirements for the quality of welding products, traditional manual welding can no longer fully meet the needs of current enterprise development. On the other hand, due to the poor welding working environment, manual operation will cause unstable welding quality and have high operating requirements for workers. At the same time, it will also cause safety hazards. Therefore, in order to meet the existing needs, a robot linkage welding processing equipment for hoppers and its manufacturing process are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Preferably, the movable wing plate is rotatably connected to the side splint, an expansion truss is provided above the supporting splint, and a smoke frame is provided below the supporting splint. The smoke frame, the expansion truss and the supporting splint are all connected by screws, and an exhaust fan is provided on the outer surface of the smoke frame.

[0008] Preferably, a damping push wheel is provided at the connection between the side splint and the supporting splint, the damping push wheel is rotatably connected to the supporting splint, the damping push wheel is fit-fitted to the side splint, and locking nut assemblies are provided on the inner side of the movable wing plate and the flue frame.

The outer supporting ring is connected to the tooling cabinet by screws.

[0012] Preferably, a correction slide shaft is provided on one side of the inner supporting ring, and the inner supporting ring is connected to the outer expanding reflective sheet through the correction slide shaft.

[0013] Preferably, the angle between the outer expansion reflectors is 45 degrees, and the angle between the inner expansion reflectors is 15 degrees.

[0014] A manufacturing process of a robot-linked welding processing equipment for a hopper includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: The metal hopper is composed of hopper side plates, hopper bottom plate, side plate reinforcement plate, reinforcement plate and hopper M plate. Before welding, pre-install the metal hopper on the inside of the fixture, adjust the angle of the movable wing plate, and then use the locking nut assembly to lock the hopper.

[0016] Step 2: Control the welding gun at the end of the industrial robot to weld the plates of the metal hopper. During the welding process, the fixture will rotate and cooperate, and the rotation span of the fixture can be adjusted according to different processing conditions.

[0021] 2. In the present invention, when the damping push wheel rotates outward, the side clamping plate will move toward the side of the cabinet. At this time, the contact area between the movable wing plates at both ends of the side clamping plate and the hopper will be displaced. At the same time, the movable wing plates and the side clamping plates can also be rotated and adjusted. In this way, adaptive adjustment can be made according to different welding methods or the actual size of the hopper, avoiding the influence of the tooling fixture on the welding between the plates after the hopper is clamped and fixed;

[0022] 3. In the present invention, during the rotation process, the positioning ring at one end of the drive shaft will use the infrared sensing module to sense the information of the outward-expanding reflective sheet on the inner side of the outer supporting ring, and judge the current rotation angle of the fixture through the outward-expanding reflective sheets in different orientations, so that the machine can judge the current angular direction of the hopper, so as to facilitate the welding robot to perform welding operations. Twenty-four inward-expanding reflective sheets are provided on the inner side of the inner supporting ring. When the overall plate welding of the hopper is completed, detailed welding operations can be performed. At this time, the inner supporting ring is controlled to enter the inner side of the outer supporting ring so that the inward-expanding reflective sheet on the inner side of the inner supporting ring covers the outward-expanding reflective sheet. At this time, the infrared sensing module can only sense the orientation information of the inward-expanding reflective sheet, so that the perception value of the rotation angle of the tooling fixture can be increased, thereby adapting to the accuracy requirements of welding.

[0032] Before welding, the metal hopper 3 is pre-installed on the inner side of the fixture 202, and then the industrial robot 1 is controlled to operate the welding gun at the end to weld the plates of the metal hopper 3. During the welding process, the fixture 202 will rotate and cooperate, and the rotation span of the fixture 202 can be adapted and adjusted according to different processing conditions. The hopper welding fixture is used to achieve one-time precise positioning and clamping of the hopper, integrated operation, rapid positioning, improved work efficiency, and accurate positioning. It can also rotate 360 degrees to meet internal and external welding at different positions and angles, while improving welding quality and welding efficiency.

The inner side of the rotating shaft disk 204 is provided with an outer bearing ring 2042. The outer surface of the outer bearing ring 2042 is provided with an alignment shaft rod 2043. The other end of the alignment shaft rod 2043 is provided with an inner bearing ring 2045. The inner bearing ring 2045 is telescopically connected to the alignment shaft rod 2043. The inner side of the outer bearing ring 2042 is provided with a driving shaft 206. The rotating shaft disk 204 is rotatably connected to the tooling cabinet 201 through the driving shaft 206.

The angles between the outward-expanding reflective sheets 2044 are 45 degrees, and the angles between the inward-expanding reflective sheets 2047 are 15 degrees.

[0037] The outer supporting ring 2042 and the cabinet are fixedly mounted, while the inner supporting ring 2045 and the outer supporting ring 2042 can realize telescopic sliding operation through the alignment shaft 2043. The motor drives the rotating shaft disk 204 and the outer clamp to rotate through the drive shaft 206. During the rotation, the positioning ring 2061 at one end of the drive shaft 206 will use the infrared sensing module 2062 to sense the information of the outward-expanding reflective sheet 2044 on the inner side of the outer supporting ring 2042.

At this time, the infrared sensing module 2062 can only sense the orientation information of the inward-expanding reflective sheets 2047, so that the perception value of the rotation angle of the tooling fixture 202 can be increased, thereby adapting to the accuracy requirements of welding.

[0038] A manufacturing process of a robot-linked welding processing equipment for a hopper includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: The metal hopper 3 is composed of a hopper side plate, a hopper bottom plate, a side plate reinforcement plate, a reinforcement plate, and a hopper M plate. Before welding, pre-install the metal hopper 3 on the inner side of the fixture 202. Adjust the angle of the movable wing plate 2023 and then lock the hopper with the locking nut assembly 2024.

[0040] Step 2: Control the industrial robot 1 to operate the welding gun at the end to weld the plates of the metal hopper 3. During the welding process, the fixture 202 will rotate and cooperate, and the rotation span of the fixture 202 can be adjusted according to different processing conditions.

[0041] Step 3: As the fixture 202 rotates using the rotating shaft disk 204, the positioning ring 2061 on the outside of the drive shaft 206 can sense the outward-expanding reflective sheet 2044 on the inside of the outer support ring 2042 and use the reflection of the infrared light source to sense the current rotation angle of the fixture 202;

[0042] Step 4: When performing detailed welding operations, the inner support ring 2045 and the outer support ring 2042 can be controlled to be combined. After the two overlap, the inner-expanding reflective sheet 2047 on the inner side of the inner support ring 2045 will cover the outer-expanding reflective sheet 2044. The interval angle of the inner-expanding reflective sheet 2047 is smaller than that of the outer-expanding reflective sheet 2044, which increases the perception value of the rotation angle of the tooling fixture 202 and adapts to high-precision welding operations.

[0043] Working principle: before welding, the metal hopper 3 is pre-installed on the inner side of the fixture 202, and then the industrial robot 1 is controlled to operate the welding gun at the end to weld the plates of the metal hopper 3. During the welding process, the fixture 202 will rotate and cooperate, and the rotation span of the fixture 202 can be adapted and adjusted according to different processing conditions. The motor drives the rotating shaft disk 204 and the outer fixture to rotate through the drive shaft 206. During the rotation, the positioning ring 2061 at one end of the drive shaft 206 will use the infrared sensing module 2062 to sense the information of the outward-expanding reflective sheet 2044 on the inner side of the outer bearing ring 2042. The outer bearing ring 2042 and the cabinet are fixed installation structures, while the inner inner bearing ring 2045 and the outer bearing ring 2042 can be aligned through the shaft rod. 2043 is used to realize telescopic sliding operation, and the outward-expanding reflective sheets 2044 in different directions are used to determine the rotation angle of the current fixture, so that the machine can judge the current angular direction of the hopper, so as to facilitate the welding operation of the welding robot. Twenty-four inward-expanding reflective sheets 2047 are arranged on the inner side of the inner supporting ring 2045. When the overall plate welding of the hopper is completed, detailed welding operations can be carried out. At this time, the inner supporting ring 2045 is controlled to enter the inner side of the outer supporting ring 2042, so that the inward-expanding reflective sheet 2047 on the inner side of the inner supporting ring 2045 covers the outward-expanding reflective sheet 2044. At this time, the infrared sensing module 2062 can only sense the orientation information of the inward-expanding reflective sheet 2047, so that the perception value of the rotation angle of the tooling fixture 202 can be increased, thereby adapting to the accuracy requirements of welding.
