[0047] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present application, a welding conveying device 100 is provided for welding and conveying workpieces. Specifically, the welding conveying device 100 is used for welding and conveying a clamp 200. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the welding conveying device 100 can also be used for welding and conveying other workpieces, and the types of workpieces to be welded and conveyed are not limited.

[0048] The welding conveying device 100 provided in the present application is described in detail below by taking the application of the welding conveying device 100 to be used for welding and conveying the square clamp 200 as an example, but this description does not limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] First, before introducing the welding conveyor device 100 in detail, the structure of the clamp 200 is described. The steel strip is cut into steel segments, and the steel segments are rolled and pressed into a square clamp 200. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The square clamp 200 includes four mutually connected clamp edges 201, wherein one clamp edge 201 includes a first edge 2011 and a second edge 2012, and a weld 202 is formed between the first edge 2011 and the second edge 2012. When the first edge 2011 and the second edge 2012 are welded by the weld 202, the clamp 200 is formed. Furthermore, each clamp edge 201 of the clamp 200 has a folded edge 203, and each clamp edge 201 has a groove 204 that is connected to each other.

[0050] Continue reading Figure 1 The welding conveying equipment 100 includes a frame 10, a material receiving device 20, a clamping device 30, a welding device 40, a rotating device 50 and a conveying device 60. Each device is installed on the frame 10, that is, the frame 10 serves as the installation base of each device.

[0051] The receiving device 20 is used to clamp the clamp 200 and place it on the clamping device 30. The clamping device 30 is used to clamp the clamp 200 and align its weld 202. The welding device 40 is used to weld the weld 202. The clamping device 30 is also used to flip the welded clamp 200 onto the rotating device 50. The rotating device 50 rotates the clamp 200 onto the conveying device 60. The conveying device 60 is used to output the workpiece.

[0052] In the welding conveying device 60 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the material receiving device 20 places the clamp 200 on the clamping device 30, the clamping device 30 automatically aligns the weld 202, and the welding device 40 welds the weld 202. After the welding device 40 welds the weld 202 of the clamp 200, the clamping device 30 flips the clamp 200 onto the rotating device 50, and the rotating device 50 rotates the clamp 200 to the device 60 for output. Compared with the method of manually aligning the weld 202 and transporting the clamp 200 in the prior art, the clamping device 30 automatically aligns the weld 202, and the alignment effect of the weld 202 is good, which improves the welding quality. At the same time, the welding conveying equipment 100 automatically completes the transportation of the clamp 200, reduces the labor intensity of the operators and improves the production efficiency.

[0053] The welding device 40 and the rotating device 50 are arranged on both sides of the clamping device 30 along the first direction, and the material receiving device 20 and the rotating device 50 are located on the same side of the clamping device 30. The rotating device 50 is erected above the conveying device 60 along the third direction, and the clamp 200 is output from the side of the rotating device 50 away from the clamping device 30 in the first direction. Such a setting makes the position arrangement of each device of the welding conveying device 100 more reasonable, so as to reduce the floor space occupied by the entire welding conveying device 100.

[0054] The first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect each other. Specifically, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is Figure 1 The X direction in the second direction is Figure 1 The Y direction in the third direction is Figure 1 The first direction is also Figure 1 The direction of the line connecting the lower left corner and the upper right corner in the second direction is also Figure 1 The direction of the line connecting the upper left corner and the lower right corner in the figure, and the third direction is Figure 1 The up and down directions in .

[0055] It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the devices may also be arranged in other ways, which are not specifically limited here.

[0056] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4The frame 10 is formed by welding a square tube. An adjusting foot cup 11 is provided at the bottom of the frame 10. The adjusting foot cup 11 is threadedly connected to a connecting hole provided on the frame 10. The adjusting foot cup 11 plays a role in adjusting the frame 10, such as adjusting the height and flatness of the frame 10.

[0057] See also Figure 5 The material receiving device 20 includes a material receiving mechanism 21 and a clamping mechanism 22. The material receiving mechanism 21 is connected to the frame 10, and the clamping mechanism 22 is connected to the material receiving mechanism 21. The material receiving mechanism 21 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 22 to reciprocate along the first direction, the second direction and the third direction. The clamping mechanism 22 has a clamping claw 221 for clamping or releasing the clamp 200.

[0058] When the clamp 200 needs to be delivered to the clamping device 30, the clamping claw 221 of the clamping mechanism 22 clamps the clamp 200, and the material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move along the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction to adjust the position of the clamp 200 so that the position of the clamp 200 is opposite to the position of the clamping device 30. When the position of the clamp 200 is adjusted to be placed on the clamping device 30, the clamping claw 221 of the clamping mechanism 22 releases the clamp 200 to place the clamp 200 on the clamping device 30. Thereafter, the material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move again to adjust the position of the clamping mechanism 22 so that it does not interfere with the clamping of the clamp 200 by the clamping device 30.

[0059] Further, the material receiving mechanism 21 includes a first material receiving component 211, a second material receiving component 212 and a third material receiving component 213. The first material receiving component 211 is installed on the frame 10, the second material receiving component 212 is connected to the first material receiving component 211, the third material receiving component 213 is connected to the second material receiving component 212, and the clamping mechanism 22 is connected to the third material receiving component 213.

[0060] In this way, by providing the material receiving mechanism 21 including the first material receiving component 211, the second material receiving component 212 and the third material receiving component 213, the clamping mechanism 22 can be driven to move in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction.

The first driving member 2112 drives the first connecting plate 2113 to move along the third direction, so as to drive the second material receiving assembly 212 to move along the third direction, and finally drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move along the third direction through the third material receiving assembly 213. Specifically, the first driving member 2112 is provided with a locking cylinder.

[0062] The first material receiving assembly 211 further includes a first rail 2114 and a first slider 2115. The first rail 2114 extends along the third direction and is mounted on the bracket 2111. The first slider 2115 is slidably connected to the first rail 2114. The first connecting plate 2113 is connected to the first slider 2115. When the first driving member 2112 drives the first connecting plate 2113 to move along the third direction, the first slider 2115 cooperates with the first rail 2114 to play a guiding role.

[0063] The second material receiving assembly 212 includes a connection frame 2121, a first base 2122, a second driving member 2123 and a second connecting plate. The first base 2122 is connected to the first connecting plate 2113 through the connection frame 2121, the second driving member 2123 is installed on the first base 2122, the second connecting plate is connected to the second driving member 2123, and the third material receiving assembly 213 is connected to the second connecting plate. The second driving member 2123 drives the second connecting plate to move in the second direction, so as to drive the third material receiving assembly 213 to move in the second direction, and finally drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the second direction. Specifically, the second driving member 2123 is a rodless cylinder.

[0064] The second material receiving assembly 212 also includes a second track and a second slider. The second track extends along the second direction and is disposed on the first base 2122. The second slider slidably cooperates with the second track and is connected to the second connecting plate. When the second driving member 2123 drives the second connecting plate to move along the second direction, the second slider cooperates with the second track to play a guiding role.

[0065] The third material receiving assembly 213 includes a third driving member 2131. The material receiving mechanism 21 is connected to the third driving member 2131. The third driving member 2131 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move along the first direction. Specifically, the third driving member 2131 is a guide rod cylinder.

[0066] It should be noted that although the above describes the specific types of the first driving member 2112, the second driving member 2123 and the third driving member 2131, in other embodiments, the first driving member 2112, the second driving member 2123 and the third driving member 2131 can also be selected as needed, and their types are not specifically limited.

[0067] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 further includes a finger cylinder 222, and the clamping jaw 221 includes a first clamping plate 2211 and a second clamping plate 2212, and the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 are both connected to the finger cylinder 222. The finger cylinder 222 can drive the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 to move closer to each other to clamp the clamp 200, or move away from each other to loosen the clamp 200. Of course, in some other embodiments, the clamping mechanism 22 can also adopt other settings, as long as the purpose of clamping and loosening the clamp 200 can be achieved.

[0068] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The clamping device 30 includes a baffle mechanism 31, which includes a baffle 311 and a bottom plate 312 for carrying the hoop 200. The baffle 311 is connected to one end of the bottom plate 312 along the first direction to resist the hoop 200. The first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 of the clamping mechanism 22 release the hoop 200, and the hoop 200 is placed on the bottom plate 312. At this time, a hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200 contacts the bottom plate 312. Specifically, a hoop edge 201 with a weld 202 contacts the bottom plate 312, and the baffle 311 resists the side of the hoop 200 with a folded edge 203.

[0069] The clamping device 30 further includes a first clamping mechanism 32 and a second clamping mechanism 33, both of which are arranged at one end of the bottom plate 312 away from the baffle plate 311 along the first direction. The clamping device 30 further includes a first clamping mechanism 34 and a second clamping mechanism 35, which are arranged at opposite ends of the bottom plate 312 opposite to each other and spaced apart along the second direction. Specifically, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are respectively used to clamp or release the clamp 200 at both sides along the second direction, and the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are also used to clamp the clamp 200 along the first direction until it abuts against the baffle plate 311 or release the clamp 200. The first clamping mechanism 32 is used to press the first side 2011 of the weld 202 to the bottom plate 312 along the third direction or to loosen the first side 2011 , and the second clamping mechanism 33 is used to press the second side 2012 of the weld 202 to the bottom plate 312 along the third direction or to loosen the second side 2012 .

[0070] With the above arrangement, when the clamping hoop 200 is placed on the bottom plate 312 by the clamping mechanism 22, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 clamp the clamping hoop 200 along the two sides of the second direction respectively, that is, the two hoop edges 201 of the clamping hoop 200 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction are clamped by the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35. The clamping hoop 200 is applied with force from different positions along the first direction by the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 so as to be in close contact with the baffle 311. The first clamping mechanism 32 and the second clamping mechanism 33 press the first edge 2011 of the weld 202 to the bottom plate 312, and the second clamping mechanism 33 presses the second edge 2012 of the weld 202 to the bottom plate 312. In this way, the clamp 200 is fixed in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction. At this time, the weld 202 is also aligned under the action of the clamping device 30. Compared with the manual alignment of the weld 202 in the prior art, the alignment effect of the weld 202 is more ideal, thereby improving the subsequent welding quality.

[0071] It should be noted that the alignment of the weld 202 means that the first edge 2011 and the second edge 2012 are aligned on both sides along the first direction, and the upper and lower surfaces in the third direction are aligned. At the same time, the size of the weld 202 along the second direction is within a preset range.

[0072] Furthermore, the baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34, and the second clamping mechanism 35 are all mounted on the frame 10 through the mounting plate 330, and the first clamping mechanism 32 and the second clamping mechanism 33 are directly mounted on the frame 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34, and the second clamping mechanism 35 may also be directly disposed on the frame 10, or the first clamping mechanism 32 and the second clamping mechanism 33 may also be disposed on the frame 10 through the mounting plate 330, which is not limited here.

[0073] Continue reading Figure 6 The bottom plate 312 includes a base plate 3121 and a carrier plate 3122. The base plate 3121 is disposed on the mounting plate 330, and the carrier plate 3122 is disposed on the base plate 3121. The carrier plate 3122 includes a first sub-plate 3123 and a second sub-plate 3124 which are separately disposed. A joint is formed between the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124. The first sub-plate 3123 is used to carry the first edge 2011, and the second sub-plate 3124 is used to carry the second edge 2012. The clamping device 30 also includes a positioning block 36 which is movably disposed along the third direction relative to the baffle mechanism 31. The positioning block 36 moves along the third direction to switch between a positioning position and a release position relative to the baffle mechanism 31. When the positioning block 36 is in the positioning position, the positioning block 36 is inserted into the weld 202 of the clamp 200 through the joint; when the positioning block 36 is in the release position, the positioning block 36 is pulled out from the weld 202 and the joint.

[0074] With the above arrangement, when the weld 202 needs to be aligned, the positioning block 36 switches from the release position to the positioning position to extend into the weld 202 of the clamp 200. At this time, when the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 clamp the clamp 200 from both sides in the second direction, due to the limitation of the positioning block 36, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are prevented from clamping the clamp 200 in the second direction, and the first side 2011 and the second side 2012 overlap, which causes the welding to fail. At the same time, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 will not cause the position of the weld 202 to deviate from the set position, so that subsequent welding can be performed directly without adjusting the welding device 40, thereby improving the welding efficiency.

[0075] Further, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 are both movably connected to the base plate 3121 along the second direction, and the base plate 3121 is provided with a first reset member 314 corresponding to the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124. When the positioning block 36 switches from the release position to the positioning position, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 move in a direction away from each other under the action of the positioning block 36, and the two first reset members 314 are both energy-storing. When the positioning block 36 switches from the positioning position to the release position, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 are reset under the action of the corresponding first reset members 314, respectively. With such a configuration, when the positioning block 36 is pulled out of the joint, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 are reset under the action of the corresponding first reset members 314, thereby preventing the high temperature generated when welding the weld 202 from being conducted through the joint to damage other components.

[0076] Specifically, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 can be formed by a copper mold to improve the high temperature resistance of the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124. At the same time, the shape of the copper mold can also be adapted to the shape of the clamp 200 to play a role in positioning the clamp 200.

[0077] The first restoring member 314 is a spring. In other embodiments, the type of the first restoring member 314 is not limited.

[0078] The clamping device 30 further includes a positioning cylinder 37 disposed on the mounting plate 330 , the positioning block 36 is connected to the positioning cylinder 37 , and the positioning cylinder 37 can drive the positioning block 36 to switch between a positioning position and a release position.

[0079] The size of the positioning block 36 in the second direction gradually decreases from one end connected to the positioning cylinder 37 to the other end, so that the positioning block 36 can be inserted into the weld 202 through the joint.

[0080] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 6The first clamping mechanism 34 includes a first clamping drive assembly 341 and a first clamping block 342, and the first clamping block 342 is connected to the first clamping drive assembly 341. The first clamping drive assembly 341 is used to drive the first clamping block 342 to move along the second direction, and the first clamping block 342 is used to clamp or loosen the clamp 200 along one side of the second direction. Specifically, the first clamping drive assembly 341 includes a cylinder, and the cylinder drives the first clamping block 342 to move along the second direction.

[0081] The first clamping mechanism 34 further includes a first adjustment component 343, a first mounting seat 344 and a clamping mold 345. The first adjustment component 343 is mounted on the mounting plate 330, the first mounting seat 344 is mounted on the first adjustment component 343, and the first clamping drive component 341 and the clamping mold 345 are both mounted on the first mounting seat 344. The first adjustment component 343 is used to adjust the position of the first mounting seat 344 along the second direction, so as to adjust the position of the first clamping drive component 341 and the clamping mold 345 along the second direction. The clamping mold 345 is used to clamp or loosen the clamp 200 along one side of the second direction, and the first clamping drive component 341 drives the first clamping block 342 to move along the second direction through the clamping mold 345.

[0082] With the above arrangement, when clamping the clamp 200, the clamping die 345 is adjusted by the first adjusting component 343 to pre-clamp (or pre-position) the clamp 200, and then the first clamping drive component 341 drives the first clamping block 342 to continue to move to clamp the clamp 200. The clamping die 345 plays a role of pre-clamping, so as to control the stroke of the first clamping drive component 341 to drive the first clamping block 342 to move, thereby facilitating the first clamping block 342 to clamp the clamp 200 along one side of the second direction.

[0083] Furthermore, the first adjustment component 343 is manually adjusted. Of course, in other embodiments, the first adjustment component 343 can also be set to be automatically adjusted.

[0084] Continue reading Figure 6 The second clamping mechanism 35 further includes a second clamping drive assembly 351 and a second clamping block 352, and the second clamping block 352 is connected to the second clamping drive assembly 351. The second clamping drive assembly 351 is used to drive the second clamping block 352 to move along the second direction, and the second clamping block 352 is used to clamp or loosen the clamp 200 along the second direction.

The second screw rod is connected to the fourth drive member 353, the second nut is threadedly connected to the second screw rod, and the second clamping block is connected to the second nut. The second screw rod extends along the second direction. The fourth drive member 353 drives the second screw rod to rotate, and the second nut moves along the second direction, so as to drive the second clamping block to move along the second direction to clamp or loosen the clamp 200.

[0086] The fourth driving member 353 is a servo motor, which is connected to the second screw rod through a coupling. The second clamping driving assembly 351 also includes a connecting seat, which is connected to the second nut, and the second clamping block 352 is connected to the connecting seat.

[0087] The second clamping mechanism 35 also includes a second reset member, and the second clamping block 352 is connected to the connecting seat through the second reset member. When the second clamping block 352 clamps the clamp 200 along the second direction, the second reset member stores energy, and when the second clamping block 352 releases the clamp 200, the second reset member resets. In this way, under the action of the second reset member, the second clamping block 352 can always clamp the clamp 200 under the action of the elastic restoring force of the second reset member.

[0088] In one embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 34 further includes a third clamping drive assembly 346 and a third clamping block 347. The third clamping drive assembly 346 is mounted on the mounting plate 330, and the third clamping block 347 is connected to the third clamping drive assembly 346. The third clamping drive assembly 346 is used to drive the third clamping block 347 to move along the first direction, and the third clamping block 347 is used to clamp or loosen the clamp 200 along the other side of the first direction. In this way, the third clamping drive assembly 346 drives the third clamping block 347 to move, so as to clamp one side of the clamp edge 201, so that the clamp 200 is tightly fitted with the baffle 311.

[0089] The third clamping drive assembly 346 includes a cylinder, which drives the third clamping block 347 to reciprocate along the first direction through the cylinder. Further, the third clamping drive assembly 346 also includes a third connecting plate, and the third clamping block 347 is connected to the third connecting plate.

[0090] The second clamping mechanism 35 further includes a fourth clamping drive assembly 354 and a fourth clamping block 355. The fourth clamping drive assembly 354 is installed on the connecting seat, and the fourth clamping block 355 is connected to the fourth clamping drive assembly 354. The fourth clamping drive assembly 354 is used to drive the fourth clamping block 355 to move along the first direction, and the fourth clamping block 355 is used to clamp or loosen the clamp 200 along the other side of the first direction. In this way, the fourth clamping drive assembly 354 drives the fourth clamping block 355 to move, so as to clamp one side of the other clamp edge 201, so that the clamp 200 is tightly fitted with the baffle 311.

[0091] The fourth clamping drive assembly 354 includes a cylinder, which drives the fourth clamping block 355 to reciprocate along the first direction. Further, the fourth clamping drive assembly 354 also includes a fourth connecting plate, and the fourth clamping block 355 is connected to the fourth connecting plate.

[0092] It should be noted that the first clamping block 342 and the third clamping block 347 clamp the same hoop edge 201 from two directions respectively, and the second clamping block and the fourth clamping block 355 clamp the same hoop edge 201 from two directions respectively.

[0093] Specifically, there are multiple third clamping blocks 347, and multiple third clamping blocks 347 are replaceably mounted on the third connecting plate. There are multiple fourth clamping blocks 355, and multiple fourth clamping blocks 355 are replaceably mounted on the fourth connecting plate. In this way, the first clamping mechanism 34 cooperates with the second clamping mechanism 35 to clamp the clamp 200 with different widths in the first direction.

[0094] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 7 The first clamping mechanism 32 includes a first clamping driving member 321 and a first clamping block 322 connected to each other. The first clamping driving member 321 is used to drive the first clamping block 322 to move along the third direction. The first clamping block 322 is used to clamp or loosen the first side 2011 of the clamp 200. Specifically, the first clamping driving member 321 is a cylinder.

[0095] The second clamping mechanism 33 includes a second clamping driver 331 and a second clamping block 332 connected to each other. The second clamping driver 331 is used to drive the second clamping block 332 to move along the third direction. The second clamping block 332 is used to clamp or loosen the second side 2012 of the clamp 200. Specifically, the second clamping driver 331 is a cylinder.

[0096] Continue reading Figure 7 The clamping device 30 further includes a first driving mechanism 38, which is disposed on the frame 10. The first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 are both mounted on the first driving mechanism 38. The first driving mechanism 38 is used to drive the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move along the first direction, so that the first pressing mechanism 32 presses the first folded edge 2031 connected to the first edge 2011 along the first direction until it abuts against the baffle 311 or releases the first folded edge 2031, and the second pressing mechanism 33 presses the second folded edge 2032 connected to the second edge 2012 along the first direction until it abuts against the baffle 311 or releases the second folded edge 2032. In this way, the alignment effect of the weld 202 can be improved.

[0097] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism 38 is used to drive the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move along the third direction, so as to position the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 in the third direction.

[0098] The first driving mechanism 38 includes a second base 381, a fifth driving member 382, ​​a third base 383 and a sixth driving member 384.

[0099] The fifth driving member 382 can drive the second base 381 to move along the third direction, and the sixth driving member 384 drives the first pressing driving member 321 and the second pressing driving member 331 to move along the third direction, and finally drives the first pressing block 322 and the second pressing block 332 to move in the third direction. The sixth driving member 384 can drive the first pressing driving member 321 and the second pressing driving member to move along the first direction, and finally drives the first pressing block 322 and the second pressing block 332 to move along the first direction.

[0100] Specifically, the fifth driving member 382 and the sixth driving member 384 are both cylinders. The third base 383 is connected to the fifth driving member 382 through a connecting flange, and the first driving mechanism 38 further includes a fourth connecting plate, which is connected to the sixth driving member 384, and the first pressing driving member 321 and the second pressing driving member 331 are both installed on the fourth connecting plate.

[0101] A guide assembly is also provided on the third base 383, and when the sixth driving member 384 drives the fourth connecting plate to move relative to the third base 383, the guide assembly guides the fourth connecting plate. Specifically, the fourth connecting plate includes two sub-connecting plates, the first pressing driving member 321 is connected to the sixth driving member 384 through one of the sub-connecting plates, and the second pressing driving member 331 is connected to the sixth driving member 384 through the other sub-connecting plate.

[0102] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 6, the baffle mechanism 31 also includes a rotating arm 313, which is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 330, so that the baffle mechanism 31 can switch between the clamping position and the flipping position. When the baffle mechanism 31 is in the clamping position, the bottom plate 312 can carry the hoop 200, and the baffle 311 can resist the hoop 200 along the first direction; when the baffle mechanism 31 is in the flipping position, the baffle mechanism 31 can output the hoop 200 to the rotating device 50. In this way, in the clamping position, the baffle mechanism 31 can cooperate with the pressing mechanism and the clamping mechanism to clamp the hoop 200 to facilitate welding by the welding device 40; in the flipping position, the baffle mechanism 31 can flip the hoop 200 to the rotating device 50 to facilitate the transportation of the hoop 200.

[0103] The clamping device 30 also includes a flip driving member 39, which is arranged on the frame 10. The rotating arm 313 is connected to the flip driving member 39. The flip driving member 39 drives the rotating arm 313 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 330 to switch between the clamping position and the flipping position.

[0104] The clamping device 30 further includes a first position-limiting member 310 and a first buffer 320 disposed on the mounting plate 330. The first position-limiting member 310 is used to limit the baffle mechanism 31 at the clamping position. The first buffer 320 is used to buffer the baffle mechanism 31 at the clamping position.

[0105] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The welding device 40 includes a welding mechanism 41 and a welding gun 42. The welding mechanism 41 is installed on the frame 10. The welding gun 42 is connected to the welding mechanism 41. The welding mechanism 41 can drive the welding gun 42 to move along the extension direction of the weld 202 to weld the weld 202. Specifically, the inclination angle of the welding gun 42 relative to the welding mechanism 41 is adjustable to adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 42. In this way, by adjusting the welding angle of the welding gun 42, the welding angle of the welding gun 42 is adapted to weld welds 202 of different sizes in the first direction.

[0106] The welding mechanism 41 includes a second driving mechanism 411, a first adjusting mechanism 412 and a second adjusting mechanism 413. The second driving mechanism 411 is mounted on the frame 10, the first adjusting mechanism 412 is disposed on the second driving mechanism 411, the second adjusting mechanism 413 is disposed on the first adjusting mechanism 412, and the welding gun 42 is mounted on the second adjusting mechanism 413. The first adjusting mechanism 412 can adjust the position of the welding gun 42 in the second direction through the second adjusting mechanism 413, the second adjusting mechanism 413 can adjust the position of the welding gun 42 in the third direction, and the second driving mechanism 411 can drive the welding gun 42 to move in the first direction through the first adjusting mechanism 412 and the second adjusting mechanism 413 to weld the clamp 200.

[0107] With the above arrangement, the first adjustment mechanism 412 cooperates with the second adjustment mechanism 413 to adjust the position of the welding gun 42 in the second direction and the third direction, so that the welding gun 42 is aligned with the weld 202 in the first direction and is located above the weld 202 in the third direction. The second driving mechanism 411 can move the welding gun 42 in the first direction to complete the welding of the weld 202.

[0108] The second driving mechanism 411 includes a supporting member 4111, a seventh driving member 4112 and a connecting member 4113. The connecting member 4113 is slidably mounted on the supporting member 4111 along the first direction. The seventh driving member 4112 is connected to the connecting member 4113. The first adjusting mechanism 412 is mounted on the connecting member 4113. The seventh driving member 4112 can drive the connecting member 4113 to drive the first adjusting mechanism 412, the second adjusting mechanism 413 and the welding gun 42 to move along the first direction.

[0109] Specifically, the seventh driving member 4112 is a servo motor, which drives the connecting member 4113 to move in the first direction through the transmission member. For example, a screw is connected to the driving end of the seventh driving member 4112, and the connecting member 4113 is screwed to the screw. The seventh driving member 4112 drives the screw to rotate so that the connecting member 4113 moves in the first direction.

[0110] Of course, in other embodiments, the second driving mechanism 411 may also be arranged in other ways, as long as it can achieve the purpose of driving the welding gun 42 to move in the first direction to complete the welding of the weld 202 .

[0111] The first adjustment mechanism 412 includes a first adjustment seat 4121, a first adjustment handle 4122, a first screw and a first nut.

The first adjustment handle 4122 is connected to the first screw, the first nut is screwed to the first screw, and the second adjustment mechanism 413 is connected to the first nut. The first screw extends along the second direction. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding gun 42 along the second direction, the first adjustment handle 4122 is operated to rotate the first screw, and at this time, the first nut drives the connecting piece 4113 to move along the second direction, so as to drive the welding gun 42 to move along the second direction through the second adjustment mechanism 413.

[0112] It is conceivable that, in some other embodiments, the first adjustment mechanism 412 may also be arranged in other ways, as long as it is capable of adjusting the position of the welding gun 42 along the second direction.

[0113] In one embodiment, the second adjustment mechanism 413 includes a manual adjustment component 4131 and an automatic adjustment component 4134, the manual adjustment component 4131 is connected to the first nut, the automatic adjustment component 4134 is connected to the manual adjustment component 4131, and the welding gun 42 is installed on the automatic adjustment component 4134. The manual adjustment component 4131 can adjust the position of the automatic adjustment component 4134 and the welding gun 42 along the third direction, and the automatic adjustment component 4134 can adjust the position of the welding gun 42 along the third direction. In this way, after the position of the welding gun 42 in the third direction is adjusted by the manual adjustment component 4131, the automatic adjustment component 4134 automatically drives the position of the welding gun 42 along the third direction, so that the welding gun 42 moves close to or away from the bottom plate 312, so as to facilitate welding the weld 202 of the hoop 200.

[0114] The manual adjustment component 4131 includes a second adjustment seat 4132, a second adjustment handle 4133, a second screw rod and a second nut. The second adjustment seat 4132 is connected to the first nut, the second screw rod is arranged on the second adjustment seat 4132, the second adjustment handle 4133 is connected to the second screw rod, the second nut is screwed to the second screw rod, and the automatic adjustment component 4134 is connected to the second nut. The second screw rod extends along the third direction. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding gun 42 along the third direction, the second adjustment handle 4133 is operated to rotate the second screw rod, and the second nut drives the automatic adjustment component 4134 to move along the third direction, so as to drive the welding gun 42 to move along the third direction through the automatic adjustment component 4134.

[0115] It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the manual adjustment component 4131 may also be arranged in other ways, as long as it is possible to adjust the position of the welding gun 42 along the third direction.

[0116] The automatic adjustment component 4134 includes an adjustment cylinder 4135 , and the welding gun 42 is connected to the adjustment cylinder 4135 . The adjustment cylinder 4135 can automatically adjust the position of the welding gun 42 in the third direction.

[0117] The second adjustment mechanism 413 further includes a wedge block 4136, which is connected to the adjustment cylinder 4135. Specifically, the wedge block 4136 is connected to the adjustment cylinder 4135 via a fifth connecting plate, the wedge block 4136 has an inclined surface, and the welding gun 42 is mounted on the inclined surface via a fixing fixture 414 and is detachably connected to the wedge block 4136. The welding device 40 further includes a plurality of pads, which can be selectively disposed between the fixing fixture 414 and the wedge block 4136 to adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 42.

[0118] With the above arrangement, when the welding gun 42 is required to have different welding angles, different pads can be selected and placed between the fixing fixture 414 and the wedge block 4136 to achieve the desired effect.

[0119] Furthermore, the wedge block 4136 and the fixing fixture 414 are both made of aluminum, which can reduce the weight of the welding device 40.

[0120] In other embodiments, the welding gun 42 is rotatably connected to the second adjustment mechanism 413, that is, the welding gun 42 is rotatably connected to the adjustment cylinder 4135 to adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 42. Specifically, the welding gun 42 can be rotatably connected to the second adjustment mechanism 413 by means of shaft hole matching.

[0121] In one embodiment, refer to Fig.10 The rotating device 50 includes a support 51, a rotating driving member 52 and a rotating shaft 53. The support 51 is mounted on the frame 10, the rotating driving member 52 is mounted on the support 51, and the rotating shaft 53 is connected to the rotating driving member 52 and rotatably supported on the support 51.

[0122] The rotating device 50 also includes a rotating grid 54, which is connected to the rotating shaft 53. The rotating driving member 52 can drive the rotating shaft 53 to rotate around its own axis to drive the rotating grid 54 to switch between the carrying position and the conveying position. When the rotating grid 54 is in the carrying position, the rotating grid 54 can carry the clamping hoop 200 that is rotated and conveyed by the clamping device 30. When the rotating grid 54 is in the conveying position, the rotating grid 54 can rotate the clamping hoop 200 to the conveying device 60, and the conveying device 60 outputs the clamping hoop 200 from the welding conveying device 100.

[0123] With the above arrangement, the rotating grid 54 of the rotating device 50 can receive the clamp 200 flipped and transported by the clamping device 30 at the carrying position, and can rotate the clamp 200 to the conveying device 60 for output at the conveying position, thereby avoiding manual conveying of the welded clamp 200, reducing the labor intensity of the operators and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the rotating grid 54 is heavy, which can reduce the weight of the entire rotating device 50.

[0124] The support 51 includes two legs 511 spaced apart along the second direction, the rotary drive member 52 is mounted on one of the legs 511, both ends of the rotary shaft 53 are rotatably connected to the two legs 511, and the rotary grid 54 is mounted on the middle portion of the rotary shaft 53 in the axial direction. In this way, the stability of the connection between the rotary grid 54 and the rotary shaft 53 can be improved.

[0125] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating grid 54 may also be connected to other parts of the rotating shaft 53, which is not limited here.

[0126] The rotating device 50 further includes two bearings 55, each bearing 55 is mounted on a leg 511, and both ends of the rotating shaft 53 are connected to the two legs 511 through the two bearings 55. In this way, the rotating shaft 53 can rotate relative to the legs 511 conveniently.

[0127] The rotating device 50 further includes a connecting flange, one end of the rotating shaft 53 is keyed to the connecting flange, and the connecting flange is fixedly connected to the rotating drive member 52. The connecting flange facilitates the connection between the rotating shaft 53 and the rotating drive member 52. It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the rotating shaft 53 may also be directly connected to the rotating drive member 52.

[0128] In one embodiment, the rotary drive member 52 is a rotary cylinder, which drives the rotary shaft 53 to rotate. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the rotary drive member 52 can also be a motor, which drives the rotary shaft 53 to rotate.

[0129] The rotating mesh 54 is L-shaped. Thus, when the clamping hoop 200 is flipped onto the rotating mesh 54 by the clamping device 30 , the L-shaped rotating mesh 54 is unlikely to cause the clamping hoop 200 to slip off.

[0130] Furthermore, from the carrying position to the conveying position, the rotating grid 54 rotates at an angle ranging from 0° to 180°, so that the clamp 200 can be conveyed to the conveying device 60 for output without the rotating grid 54 rotating at an excessively large angle.

[0131] Furthermore, the frame 10 is provided with a second stopper 12, which is used to stop the rotating mesh 54 at the bearing position. The frame 10 is also provided with a second buffer 13, which is used to buffer the rotating mesh 54 at the bearing position.

[0132] The working principle of the welding conveying device 100 provided in this application is as follows:

[0133] The material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move to a set position along the first direction, the second direction and the third direction, and the finger cylinder 222 of the clamping mechanism 22 drives the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 to move closer to each other to clamp the clamping hoop 200. The material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move to another set position along the first direction, the second direction and the third direction again, and the finger cylinder 222 of the clamping mechanism 22 drives the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 to move away from each other to release the clamping hoop 200, and place the clamping hoop 200 on the clamping device 30. At this time, the baffle mechanism 31 of the clamping device 30 is in the clamping position. The hoop edge 201 of the clamping hoop 200 with the weld 202 contacts the bottom plate 312, and the baffle 311 resists the clamping hoop 200 on one side in the first direction.

[0134] It should be noted here that, generally, the first adjustment component 343 of the first clamping mechanism 34 adjusts the position of the clamping mold 345 according to the length of the first side 2011 of the clamp 200 and then fixes it in place. When the clamp 200 is placed on the baffle mechanism 31, the clamping mold 345 serves to limit the clamp 200 from one side in the second direction.

[0135] When the clamp 200 is placed on the baffle mechanism 31 , the positioning cylinder 37 drives the positioning block 36 to switch from the release position to the positioning position, and inserts the positioning block 36 into the weld 202 through the joint.

[0136] The first clamping drive assembly 341 drives the first clamping block 342 to move close to the hoop 200 along the second direction, so that the first edge 2011 abuts against the positioning block 36. The third clamping drive assembly 346 drives the third clamping block 347 to move close to the hoop 200 along the first direction, so as to cooperate with the baffle 311 to clamp one hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200. The second clamping drive assembly 351 drives the second clamping block to move close to the hoop 200 along the second direction, so that the second edge 2012 abuts against the positioning block 36, and the fourth clamping drive assembly 354 drives the fourth clamping block 355 to move close to the hoop 200 along the first direction, so as to cooperate with the baffle 311 to clamp the other hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200.

[0137] The fifth driving member 382 of the first driving mechanism 38 drives the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move to a preset position along the third direction. The sixth driving member 384 drives the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move close to the baffle 311 in the first direction, the first pressing block 322 cooperates with the baffle 311 to press the first folded edge 2031, and the second pressing block 332 cooperates with the baffle 311 to press the second folded edge 2032. The first pressing driving member 321 drives the first pressing block 322 to move downward in the third direction to press the first edge 2011, and the second pressing driving member 331 drives the second pressing block 332 to move downward in the third direction to press the second edge 2012.

[0138] The positioning cylinder 37 drives the positioning block 36 to switch from the positioning position to the release position. Since the positioning block 36 is pulled out from the weld 202, the second clamping block 332 can move a certain distance under the action of the second reset member to compensate for the width of the positioning block 36, and clamp the clamp 200 again. At this time, under the cooperation of each clamping block, each clamping block, the bottom plate 312 and the baffle 311, the clamp 200 is completely clamped in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction. Generally, the size of the clamp 200 along the first direction is less than or equal to 100mm, the size in the second direction and the third direction is 300mm-500mm, and the weld 202 is located within the range of 0-200mm of one of the hoop edges 201.

[0139] The welding gun 42 is adjusted by the first adjustment mechanism 412 and the second adjustment mechanism 413 to be opposite to the weld 202 in the first direction. It should be noted that for multiple clamps 200 of the same size, since the position of the weld 202 is fixed, generally, the first adjustment mechanism 412 and the manual adjustment component 4131 do not need to be adjusted again, and the welding angle of the welding gun 42 no longer needs to be adjusted. During welding, it is only necessary to fine-tune the position of the welding gun 42 through the automatic adjustment component 4134, and then drive the welding gun 42 to move along the first direction for welding through the second drive mechanism 411. Specifically, carbon dioxide shielded welding is used to weld the weld 202 of the clamp 200.

[0140] When welding is completed, each clamping block and each pressing block moves in the opposite direction to separate from the clamp 200 , and the flipping drive 39 drives the rotating arm 313 to switch the baffle mechanism 31 from the clamping position to the flipping position, and the clamp 200 is flipped from the baffle mechanism 31 to the rotating device 50 .

[0141] The rotating grid 54 of the rotating device 50 is switched from the carrying position to the conveying position, and the hoop 200 is rotated to the conveying device 60, and the conveying device 60 outputs the hoop 200, and the whole process is completed. Specifically, the conveying device 60 outputs the hoop 200 through a belt.

[0142] The welding conveying device 100 provided in the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0143] 1. Through the cooperation of the material receiving device 20, the clamping device, the welding device 40, the rotating device 50 and the conveying device 60, the alignment, welding and conveying of the weld 202 can be automatically completed, which reduces the work intensity of the operators and improves the work efficiency.

[0144] 2. The welding conveying mode of the welding conveying device 100 is: vertical placement for taking materials, flat seam welding and flipping for discharging materials. Vertical placement for taking materials saves space, flat seam welding has good quality, and flipping is convenient for discharging materials.

[0145] 3. The clamping device can clamp the clamp 200 in multiple directions through the cooperation of the baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34, the second clamping mechanism 35, the first clamping mechanism 32 and the second clamping mechanism 33 to facilitate the alignment of the weld 202 and improve the welding quality.

[0146] 4. The inclination angle of the welding gun 42 of the welding device 40 relative to the welding mechanism 41 is adjustable to adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 42, so as to find the correct welding angle for the clamps 200 of different sizes and improve the welding effect.

[0147] 5. The rotating device 50 cooperates with the baffle mechanism 31 of the clamping device 30 and the conveying device 60 by setting a rotatable rotating grid 54 to facilitate the output of the clamp 200.

[0148] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
