Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of building materials production, and particularly to a welding and conveying device. Background Art

[0002] Concrete square piles are generally used to reinforce the foundation. Square hoops are provided at both ends of the square piles to increase the structural strength of the square piles. The preparation process of the square hoops generally adopts the following steps: cutting the steel strip into steel segments - rolling and pressing the steel segments into hoops - flanging - aligning the welds - welding the welds.

[0003] After the steel segments are rolled and pressed into hoops, workers align and weld the welds at the welding station, and manually transport the formed hoops out of the welding station. This method of aligning and transporting the welds manually often results in unsatisfactory weld alignment, leading to non-compliant welding quality. At the same time, performing the above operations manually increases the labor intensity of the operators and results in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0046] Refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a welding and conveying device 100 for welding and conveying workpieces. Specifically, the welding and conveying device 100 is used for welding and conveying the hoop 200. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the welding and conveying device 100 can also be used for welding and conveying other workpieces, and the types of workpieces for welding and conveying are not limited.

[0047] Taking the welding and conveying device 100 applied to welding and conveying the square hoop 200 as an example, the welding and conveying device 100 provided by the present application will be described in detail below, but this description will not limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] First, before introducing the welding and conveying device 100 in detail, the structure of the hoop 200 will be described. The steel strip is cut into steel segments, and the steel segments are rolled and pressed into a square hoop 200. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the square hoop 200 includes four hoop edges 201 connected to each other. One of the hoop edges 201 includes a first side 2011 and a second side 2012, and a weld seam 202 is formed between the first side 2011 and the second side 2012. When the first side 2011 and the second side 2012 are welded through the weld seam 202, the finished product of the hoop 200 is formed. Further, each hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200 has a folded edge 203, and each hoop edge 201 has a groove 20 communicating with each other.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , the welding and conveying device 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 basis for each device.

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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 .

[0054] It should be appreciated that in other embodiments, the devices may also be arranged in other ways, which are not specifically limited here.

[0055] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 4, the frame 10 is formed by welding square tubes. Adjusting feet 11 are provided at the bottom of the frame 10. The adjusting feet 11 are threadedly connected to the connection holes provided on the frame 10, and the adjusting feet 11 serve to adjust the frame 10. Such as adjusting the height and flatness of the frame 10.

[0056] Refer to 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 in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. The clamping mechanism 22 has clamping jaws 221 for clamping or releasing the hoop 200.

[0057] When it is necessary to convey the hoop 200 to the clamping device 30, the clamping jaws 221 of the clamping mechanism 22 clamp the hoop 200. The material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction to adjust the position of the hoop 200 so that the position of the hoop 200 is opposite to the position of the clamping device 30. When the position of the hoop 200 is just right to be placed on the clamping device 30, the clamping jaws 221 of the clamping mechanism 22 release the hoop 200 to place the hoop 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 hoop 200 by the clamping device 30.

[0058] Furthermore, 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. The clamping mechanism 22 is connected to the third material receiving component 213. The first material receiving component 211 is used to drive the second material receiving component 212, the third material receiving component 213, and the clamping mechanism 22 to reciprocate in the third direction. The second material receiving component 212 is used to drive the first material receiving component 211 and the clamping mechanism 22 to reciprocate in the second direction. The third material receiving component 213 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 22 to reciprocate in the first direction.

[0059] In this way, by providing that the material receiving mechanism 21 includes the first material receiving component 211, the second material receiving component 212, and the third material receiving component 213, the purpose of driving the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction can be achieved. Of course, in some other embodiments, the material receiving mechanism 21 can also be arranged in other ways, which are not limited herein.

[0060] The first material receiving assembly 211 includes a bracket 2111, a first driving member 2112 and a first connecting plate 2113. The bracket 2111 is installed on the frame 10. The first driving member 2112 is arranged on the bracket 2111. The first connecting plate 2113 is connected to the first driving member 2112. The second material receiving assembly 212 is connected to the first connecting plate 2113. The first driving member 2112 drives the first connecting plate 2113 to move in the third direction, so as to drive the second material receiving assembly 212 to move in the third direction, and finally drive the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the third direction through the third material receiving assembly 213. Specifically, the first driving member 2112 is a locking cylinder.

[0061] The first material receiving assembly 211 further includes a first track 2114 and a first slider 2115. The first track 2114 extends in the third direction and is installed on the bracket 2111. The first slider 2115 is slidably connected to the first track 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 in the third direction, the first slider 2115 and the first track 2114 cooperate to play a guiding role.

[0062] The second material receiving assembly 212 includes an adapter 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 adapter 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. 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 drive the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the second direction. Specifically, the second driving member 2123 is a rodless cylinder.

[0063] The second material receiving assembly 212 further includes a second track and a second slider. The second track extends in the second direction and is arranged on the first base 2122. The second slider is slidably engaged 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 in the second direction, the second slider and the second track cooperate to play a guiding role.

[0064] 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 in the first direction. Specifically, the third driving member 2131 is a guide rod cylinder.

[0065] It should be noted here that although the above describes what specific driving components the first driving component 2112, the second driving component 2123, and the third driving component 2131 are, in some other embodiments, the first driving component 2112, the second driving component 2123, and the third driving component 2131 can also be selected as needed, and their types are not specifically limited.

[0066] In one embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 further includes a finger cylinder 222. The clamping jaws 221 include a first clamping plate 2211 and a second clamping plate 2212, and both the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 are connected to the finger cylinder 222. The finger cylinder 222 can drive the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 to approach each other to clamp the hoop 200, or move away from each other to release the hoop 200. Of course, in some other embodiments, the clamping mechanism 22 can also adopt other settings as long as the purpose of clamping and releasing the hoop 200 can be achieved.

[0067] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the clamping device 30 includes a baffle mechanism 31. The baffle mechanism 31 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, one hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200 contacts the bottom plate 312. Specifically, one 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.

[0068] The clamping device 30 further includes a first pressing mechanism 32 and a second pressing mechanism 33. The first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 are both arranged at one end of the bottom plate 312 away from the baffle 311 along the first direction. The clamping device 30 further includes a first clamping mechanism 34 and a second clamping mechanism 35. The first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are opposite and spaced apart along the second direction at opposite ends of the bottom plate 312. Specifically, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are respectively used to clamp or release the hoop 200 on both sides along the second direction, and the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are also used to clamp the hoop 200 along the first direction until it abuts against the baffle 311 or release the hoop 200. The first pressing mechanism 32 is used to press the first side 2011 forming the weld 202 onto the bottom plate 312 or release the first side 2011, and the second pressing mechanism 33 is used to press the second side 2012 forming the weld 202 onto the bottom plate 312 or release the second side 2012.

[0069] In the above setting, when the 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 hoop 200 respectively along both sides in the second direction, that is, the two hoop edges 201 of the hoop 200 arranged oppositely in the second direction are clamped by the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35. The hoop 200 is applied with acting forces by the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 from different positions along the first direction to be in close contact with the baffle 311. The first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 press the first side 2011 forming the weld 202 onto the bottom plate 312, and the second pressing mechanism 33 presses the second side 2012 forming the weld 202 onto the bottom plate 312. In this way, the hoop 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 situation of manually aligning the weld 202 in the prior art, the alignment effect of the weld 202 is relatively ideal, so as to improve the subsequent welding quality.

[0070] Here it should be noted that the alignment of the weld 202 means that: the first side 2011 and the second side 2012 are aligned along both sides in the first direction, and the upper and lower surfaces are aligned in the third direction. At the same time, the dimension of the weld 202 along the second direction is within the preset range.

[0071] Furthermore, the above baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 are all installed on the frame 10 through the mounting plate 330, and the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 are directly installed on the frame 10. Of course, in some other embodiments, the baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 can also be directly arranged on the frame 10, or the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 can also be arranged on the frame 10 through the mounting plate 330, which is not limited herein.

[0072] Continue to refer to Figure 6 , the bottom plate 312 includes a base plate 3121 and a bearing plate 3122. The base plate 3121 is arranged on the mounting plate 330, and the bearing plate 3122 is arranged on the base plate 3121. The bearing plate 3122 includes a first sub-plate 3123 and a second sub-plate 3124 which are separately arranged, and a joint is formed between the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124. The first sub-plate 3123 is used to bear the first side 2011, and the second sub-plate 3124 is used to bear the second side 2012. The clamping device 30 further includes a positioning block 36 which is movably arranged relative to the baffle mechanism 31 in the third direction. The positioning block 36 moves in 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 hoop 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.

[0073] In the above setting, when it is necessary to align the weld seam 202, the positioning block 36 switches from the release position to the positioning position to extend into the weld seam 202 of the hoop 200. At this time, when the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 clamp the hoop 200 from both sides in the second direction, due to the limitation of the positioning block 36, it is avoided that the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 clamp the hoop 200 excessively in the second direction, and it is avoided that the first side 2011 and the second side 2012 overlap, resulting in a situation where welding cannot be performed. At the same time, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 will not cause the position of the weld seam 202 to deviate from the set position, so that subsequent welding can be directly performed without adjusting the welding device 40, improving the welding efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, both the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 are movably connected to the base plate 3121 in the second direction, and first return members 314 are provided on the base plate 3121 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 away from each other under the action of the positioning block 36, and the two first return members 314 are both energized. 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 return members 314 respectively. With such a setting, when the positioning block 36 is pulled out from the joint, the first sub-plate 3123 and the second sub-plate 3124 are reset under the action of the corresponding first return members 314, so as to avoid damage to other components caused by the high temperature generated during the welding of the weld seam 202 being conducted out through the joint.

[0075] 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 hoop 200 to play a role in positioning the hoop 200.

[0076] The first return member 314 is a spring. In some other embodiments, the type of the first return member 314 is not limited.

[0077] The clamping device 30 further includes a positioning cylinder 37 provided 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 the positioning position and the release position.

[0078] The dimension of the positioning block 36 gradually decreases from the end connected to the positioning cylinder 37 to the other end in the second direction, so as to facilitate the positioning block 36 to be inserted into the weld seam 202 through the joint.

[0079] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 6, the first clamping mechanism 34 includes a first clamping drive assembly 341 and a first clamping block 342. 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 in the second direction, and the first clamping block 342 is used to clamp or release the hoop 200 on one side in the second direction. Specifically, the second clamping drive assembly 351 includes a cylinder, and the cylinder drives the first clamping block 342 to move in the second direction.

[0080] The first clamping mechanism 34 further includes a first adjustment assembly 343, a first mounting seat 344, and a clamping die 345. The first adjustment assembly 343 is mounted on the mounting plate 330, the first mounting seat 344 is mounted on the first adjustment assembly 343, and both the first clamping drive assembly 341 and the clamping die 345 are mounted on the first mounting seat 344. The first adjustment assembly 343 is used to adjust the position of the first mounting seat 344 in the second direction, so as to adjust the positions of the first clamping drive assembly 341 and the clamping die 345 in the second direction. The clamping die 345 is used to clamp or release the hoop 200 on one side in the second direction, and the stroke of the first clamping drive assembly 341 driving the first clamping block 342 to move in the second direction passes through the clamping die 345.

[0081] With the above settings, when clamping the hoop 200, the clamping die 345 is adjusted by the first adjustment assembly 343 to pre-clamp (or pre-position) the hoop 200, and then the first clamping drive assembly 341 drives the first clamping block 342 to continue moving to clamp the hoop 200. The clamping die 345 plays a role of pre-clamping, so as to facilitate controlling the stroke of the first clamping drive assembly 341 driving the first clamping block 342 to move, and further facilitating the first clamping block 342 to clamp the hoop 200 on one side in the second direction.

[0082] Furthermore, the first adjustment assembly 343 is manually adjustable. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first adjustment assembly 343 can also be set to be automatically adjustable.

[0083] Continue to refer to Figure 6 , the second clamping mechanism 35 further includes a second clamping drive assembly 351 and a second clamping block 352. 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 in the second direction, and the second clamping block 352 is used to clamp or release the hoop 200 in the second direction.

[0084] The second clamping drive assembly 351 includes a fourth drive member 353, a second lead screw, and a second nut provided on the mounting plate 330. The second lead screw is connected to the fourth drive member 353, the second nut is screwed onto the second lead screw, and the second clamping block is connected to the second nut. Among them, the second lead screw extends along the second direction. The fourth drive member 353 drives the second lead screw to rotate, and the second nut moves along the second direction to drive the second clamping block to move along the second direction to clamp or loosen the hoop 200.

[0085] The fourth drive member 353 is a servo motor, which is connected to the second lead screw through a coupling. The second clamping drive assembly 351 further includes a connecting seat, the connecting seat is connected to the second nut, and the second clamping block 352 is connected to the connecting seat.

[0086] The second clamping mechanism 35 further includes a second reset member. The second clamping block 352 is connected to the connecting seat through the second reset member. When the second clamping block 352 clamps the hoop 200 along the second direction, the second reset member stores energy. When the second clamping block 352 loosens the hoop 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 hoop 200 under the elastic restoring force of the second reset member.

[0087] 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 installed 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 hoop 200 on the other side along the first direction. With this setting, when the third clamping drive assembly 346 drives the third clamping block 347 to move, one side of a hoop edge 201 can be clamped, so that the hoop 200 is closely attached to the baffle 311.

[0088] 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 further includes a third connecting plate, and the third clamping block 347 is connected to the third connecting plate.

[0089] 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 hoop 200 on the other side along the first direction. With this setting, when the fourth clamping drive assembly 354 drives the fourth clamping block 355 to move, one side of the other hoop edge 201 can be clamped, so that the hoop 200 is closely attached to the baffle 311.

[0090] The fourth clamping drive assembly 354 includes a cylinder, which drives the fourth clamping block 355 to reciprocate in the first direction through the cylinder. Further, the fourth clamping drive assembly 354 further includes a fourth connecting plate, and the fourth clamping block 355 is connected to the fourth connecting plate.

[0091] It should be noted here 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.

[0092] Specifically, there are multiple third clamping blocks 347, and the multiple third clamping blocks 347 are replaceably mounted on the third connecting plate. There are multiple fourth clamping blocks 355, and the multiple fourth clamping blocks 355 are replaceably mounted on the fourth connecting plate. In this way, the first clamping mechanism 34 and the second clamping mechanism 35 can cooperate to clamp the hoop 200 with different widths in the first direction.

[0093] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 7 , the first pressing mechanism 32 includes a first pressing drive member 321 and a first pressing block 322 connected to each other. The first pressing drive member 321 is used to drive the first pressing block 322 to move in the third direction, and the first pressing block 322 is used to press or loosen the first side 2011 of the hoop 200. Specifically, the first pressing drive member 321 is a cylinder.

[0094] The second pressing mechanism 33 includes a second pressing drive member 331 and a second pressing block 332 connected to each other. The second pressing drive member 331 is used to drive the second pressing block 332 to move in the third direction, and the second pressing block 332 is used to press or loosen the second side 2012 of the hoop 200. Specifically, the second pressing drive member 331 is a cylinder.

[0095] Continue to refer to Figure 7 , the clamping device 30 further includes a first drive mechanism 38. The first drive mechanism 38 is provided on the frame 10. The first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 are both mounted on the first drive mechanism 38. The first drive mechanism 38 is used to drive the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move in the first direction, so that the first pressing mechanism 32 presses the first folded edge 2031 connected to the first side 2011 against the baffle 311 or loosens the first folded edge 2031 in the first direction, and the second pressing mechanism 33 presses the second folded edge 2032 connected to the second side 2012 against the baffle 311 or loosens the second folded edge 2032 in the first direction. In this way, the alignment effect of the weld 202 can be improved.

[0096] Further, the first driving mechanism 38 is used to drive the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move in the third direction, so as to facilitate the positions of the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 in the third direction.

[0097] 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. The second base 381 is provided on the frame 10, the fifth driving member 382 is installed on the second base 381, the third base 383 is connected to the fifth driving member 382, the sixth driving member 384 is provided on the second base 381, and both the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 are connected to the sixth driving member 384.

[0098] The fifth driving member 382 can drive the second base 381 to move in 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 in 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 in the first direction, and finally drives the first pressing block 322 and the second pressing block 332 to move in the first direction.

[0099] Specifically, both the fifth driving member 382 and the sixth driving member 384 are cylinders. The third base 383 is connected to the fifth driving member 382 through a connecting flange. The first driving mechanism 38 further includes a fourth connecting plate, the fourth connecting plate is connected to the sixth driving member 384, and both the first pressing driving member 321 and the second pressing driving member 331 are installed on the fourth connecting plate.

[0100] A guiding assembly is further provided on the third base 383. When the sixth driving member 384 drives the fourth connecting plate to move relative to the third base 383, the guiding assembly plays a role in guiding 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.

[0101] In one embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 6, the baffle mechanism 31 further includes a swing arm 313, and the swing arm 313 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 for the welding device 40 to weld; in the flipping position, the baffle mechanism 31 can flip the hoop 200 onto the rotating device 50 to facilitate the transportation of the hoop 200.

[0102] The clamping device 30 further includes a flipping driving member 39, the flipping driving member 39 is arranged on the frame 10, the swing arm 313 is connected to the flipping driving member 39, and the flipping driving member 39 drives the swing arm 313 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 330 to switch between the clamping position and the flipping position.

[0103] The clamping device 30 further includes a first limiting member 310 and a first buffer 320 arranged on the mounting plate 330. The first limiting member 310 is used to limit the baffle mechanism 31 in the clamping position. The first buffer 320 is used to buffer the baffle mechanism 31 in the clamping position.

[0104] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the welding device 40 includes a welding mechanism 41 and a welding torch 42. The welding mechanism 41 is installed on the frame 10, the welding torch 42 is connected to the welding mechanism 41, and the welding mechanism 41 can drive the welding torch 42 to move along the extension direction of the weld 202 to weld the weld 202. Specifically, the inclination angle of the welding torch 42 relative to the welding mechanism 41 is adjustable to adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 42. In this way, by adjusting the welding angle of the welding torch 42, the welding angle of the welding torch 42 can be adapted to weld the welds 202 with different sizes in the first direction.

[0105] 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 installed on the frame 10, the first adjusting mechanism 412 is arranged on the second driving mechanism 411, the second adjusting mechanism 413 is arranged on the first adjusting mechanism 412, and the welding torch 42 is installed on the second adjusting mechanism 413. The first adjusting mechanism 412 can adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the second direction through the second adjusting mechanism 413, the second adjusting mechanism 413 can adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction, and the second driving mechanism 411 can drive the welding torch 42 to move in the first direction through the first adjusting mechanism 412 and the second adjusting mechanism 413 to weld the hoop 200.

[0106] With the above settings, the first adjusting mechanism 412 and the second adjusting mechanism 413 cooperate to adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the second direction and the third direction, so that the welding torch 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 torch 42 in the first direction to complete the welding of the weld 202.

[0107] The second driving mechanism 411 includes a support 4111, a seventh driving member 4112 and a connecting member 4113. The connecting member 4113 is slidably mounted on the support 4111 in the first direction. The seventh driving member 4112 is connected to the connecting member 4113, and 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 torch 42 to move in the first direction.

[0108] Specifically, the seventh driving member 4112 is a servo motor, which drives the connecting member 4113 to move in the first direction through a transmission member. For example, the driving end of the seventh driving member 4112 is connected to a lead screw, and the connecting member 4113 is screwed to the lead screw. The seventh driving member 4112 drives the lead screw to rotate to make the connecting member 4113 move in the first direction.

[0109] Of course, in some other embodiments, the second driving mechanism 411 can also adopt other setting methods, as long as it can achieve the purpose of driving the welding torch 42 to move in the first direction to complete the welding of the weld 202.

[0110] The first adjusting mechanism 412 includes a first adjusting seat 4121, a first adjusting handle 4122, a first lead screw and a first nut. The first adjusting seat 4121 is connected to the connecting member 4113 of the second driving mechanism 411. The first lead screw is arranged on the first adjusting seat 4121. The first adjusting handle 4122 is connected to the first lead screw. The first nut is screwed to the first lead screw, and the second adjusting mechanism 413 is connected to the first nut. The first lead screw extends in the second direction. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the second direction, operate the first adjusting handle 4122 to make the first lead screw rotate. At this time, the first nut drives the connecting member 4113 to move in the second direction, so as to drive the welding torch 42 to move in the second direction through the second adjusting mechanism 413.

[0111] It can be imagined that in some other embodiments, the first adjusting mechanism 412 can also be arranged in other ways, as long as it can realize the adjustment of the position of the welding torch 42 in the second direction.

[0112] In one embodiment, the second adjusting mechanism 413 includes a manual adjusting component 4131 and an automatic adjusting component 4134. The manual adjusting component 4131 is connected to the first nut, the automatic adjusting component 4134 is connected to the manual adjusting component 4131, and the welding torch 42 is installed on the automatic adjusting component 4134. The manual adjusting component 4131 can adjust the positions of the automatic adjusting component 4134 and the welding torch 42 in the third direction, and the automatic adjusting component 4134 can adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction. In this way, after adjusting the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction through the manual adjusting component 4131, the automatic adjusting component 4134 automatically drives the welding torch 42 to move in the third direction, so that the welding torch 42 moves closer to or away from the bottom plate 312, facilitating the welding of the weld 202 of the hoop 200.

[0113] The manual adjusting component 4131 includes a second adjusting seat 4132, a second adjusting handle 4133, a second lead screw, and a second nut. The second adjusting seat 4132 is connected to the first nut, the second lead screw is disposed on the second adjusting seat 4132, the second adjusting handle 4133 is connected to the second lead screw, the second nut is screwed onto the second lead screw, and the automatic adjusting component 4134 is connected to the second nut. Among them, the second lead screw extends in the third direction. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction, the second adjusting handle 4133 is operated to rotate the second lead screw. At this time, the second nut drives the automatic adjusting component 4134 to move in the third direction, so as to drive the welding torch 42 to move in the third direction through the automatic adjusting component 4134.

[0114] It can be imagined that in some other embodiments, the manual adjusting component 4131 can also be arranged in other ways, as long as it can achieve the adjustment of the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction.

[0115] The automatic adjusting component 4134 includes an adjusting cylinder 4135. The welding torch 42 is connected to the adjusting cylinder 4135, and the adjusting cylinder 4135 can automatically adjust the position of the welding torch 42 in the third direction.

[0116] The second adjusting mechanism 413 further includes a wedge block 4136, and the wedge block 4136 is connected to the adjusting cylinder 4135. Specifically, the wedge block 4136 is connected to the adjusting cylinder 4135 through a fifth connecting plate. The wedge block 4136 has an inclined surface, and the welding torch 42 is installed on the inclined surface through a fixing fixture 414 and is detachably connected to the wedge block 4136. The welding device 40 further includes a plurality of cushion blocks, and the cushion blocks can be selectively disposed between the fixing fixture 414 and the wedge block 4136 to adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 42.

[0117] With the above arrangement, when it is necessary for the welding torch 42 to have different welding angles, different cushion blocks can be selected and disposed between the fixing fixture 414 and the wedge block 4136 to achieve this.

[0118] Further, both the wedge block 4136 and the fixed fixture 414 are made of aluminum, which can reduce the weight of the welding device 40.

[0119] In some other embodiments, the welding torch 42 is rotatably connected to the second adjusting mechanism 413, that is, the welding torch 42 is rotatably connected to the adjusting cylinder 4135 to adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 42. Specifically, the welding torch 42 can be rotatably connected to the second adjusting mechanism 413 by means of shaft-hole fit.

[0120] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 10 , the rotating device 50 includes a support 51, a rotation driving member 52 and a rotating shaft 53. The support 51 is installed on the frame 10, the rotation driving member 52 is installed on the support 51, the rotating shaft 53 is connected to the rotation driving member 52 and is rotatably supported on the support 51.

[0121] The rotating device 50 further includes a rotating grid 54, and the rotating grid 54 is connected to the rotating shaft 53. The rotation 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 loading position and the conveying position. When the rotating grid 54 is in the loading position, the rotating grid 54 can carry the hoop 200 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 hoop 200 onto the conveying device 60, and the conveying device 60 outputs the hoop 200 from the welding and conveying equipment 100.

[0122] With the above arrangement, the rotating grid 54 of the rotating device 50 can receive the hoop 200 flipped and conveyed by the clamping device 30 in the loading position, and can rotate the hoop 200 onto the conveying device 60 for output in the conveying position, avoiding manual conveyance of the welded hoop 200, reducing the labor intensity of the operators and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the rotating grid 54 is relatively light in weight, which can reduce the weight of the entire rotating device 50.

[0123] The support 51 includes two legs 511 spaced apart along the second direction. The rotation driving member 52 is installed on one of the legs 511. Both ends of the rotating shaft 53 are rotatably connected to the two legs 511, and the rotating grid 54 is installed at the middle part of the rotating shaft 53 in the axial direction. In this way, the connection stability between the rotating grid 54 and the rotating shaft 53 can be improved.

[0124] Of course, in some other embodiments, the rotating grid 54 can also be connected to other parts of the rotating shaft 53, which is not limited herein.

[0125] 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 respectively. In this way, it is convenient for the rotating shaft 53 to rotate relative to the leg 511.

[0126] The rotating device 50 further includes a connecting flange. One end of the rotating shaft 53 is key-connected to the connecting flange, and the connecting flange is fixedly connected to the rotating driving member 52. The connecting flange facilitates the connection between the rotating shaft 53 and the rotating driving member 52. It can be conceived that in some other embodiments, the rotating shaft 53 can also be directly connected to the rotating driving member 52.

[0127] In one embodiment, the rotating driving member 52 is a rotating cylinder, and the rotating cylinder drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the rotating driving member 52 can also be a motor, and the motor drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate.

[0128] The rotating grid 54 is L-shaped. In this way, when the clamp 200 is flipped onto the rotating grid 54 by the clamping device 30, the L-shaped rotating grid 54 is not likely to cause the clamp 200 to slip off.

[0129] Furthermore, from the loading position to the conveying position, the rotation angle range of the rotating grid 54 is 0° - 180°, so that the rotating grid 54 can convey the clamp 200 to the conveying device 60 for output without rotating too large an angle.

[0130] Still further, a second limiting member 12 is provided on the frame 10, and the second limiting member 12 is used to limit the rotating grid 54 at the loading position. A second buffer 13 is also provided on the frame 10, and the second buffer 13 is used to buffer the rotating grid 54 at the loading position.

[0131] The working principle of the welding and conveying equipment 100 provided by this application is as follows:

[0132] The material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction to a set position. The finger cylinder 222 of the clamping mechanism 22 drives the first clamping plate 2211 and the second clamping plate 2212 to approach each other to clamp the clamp 200. The material receiving mechanism 21 drives the clamping mechanism 22 to move in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction to another set position again. 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 clamp 200, and places the clamp 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 clamp 200 with the weld 202 contacts the bottom plate 312, and the baffle 311 resists the clamp 200 on one side in the first direction.

[0133] It should be noted here that generally, after the first adjustment component 343 of the first clamping mechanism 34 adjusts the position of the clamping die 345 according to the length of the first side 2011 of the hoop 200 and then fixes it, when the hoop 200 is placed on the baffle mechanism 31, the clamping die 345 plays a role in limiting the hoop 200 from one side in the second direction.

[0134] After the hoop 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 it into the weld 202 through the joint.

[0135] The first clamping drive component 341 drives the first clamping block 342 to move close to the hoop 200 in the second direction, so that the first side 2011 abuts against the positioning block 36. The third clamping drive component 346 drives the third clamping block 347 to move close to the hoop 200 in the first direction to cooperate with the baffle 311 to clamp one hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200. The second clamping drive component 351 drives the second clamping block to move close to the hoop 200 in the second direction, so that the second side 2012 abuts against the positioning block 36. The fourth clamping drive component 354 drives the fourth clamping block 355 to move close to the hoop 200 in the first direction to cooperate with the baffle 311 to clamp the other hoop edge 201 of the hoop 200.

[0136] The fifth driving part 382 of the first driving mechanism 38 drives the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 to move in the third direction to a preset position. The sixth driving part 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 drive part 321 drives the first pressing block 322 to move downward in the third direction to press the first side 2011, and the second pressing drive part 331 drives the second pressing block 332 to move downward in the third direction to press the second side 2012.

[0137] 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 withdrawn from the weld 202, the second pressing block 332 can move a certain distance under the action of the second reset part to compensate for the width of the positioning block 36 and clamp the hoop 200 again. At this time, under the combined action of each clamping block, each pressing block, the bottom plate 312 and the baffle 311, the hoop 200 is completely clamped in the first direction, the second direction and the third direction. Generally, the dimension of the hoop 200 in the first direction is less than or equal to 100 mm, the dimensions in the second direction and the third direction are 300 mm - 500 mm, and the position of the weld 202 is within the range of 0 - 200 mm of one of the hoop edges 201.

[0138] The welding torch 42 is opposite to the weld seam 202 in the first direction through the adjustment of the first adjustment mechanism 412 and the second adjustment mechanism 413. It should be noted here that for multiple hoop fasteners 200 of the same size, since the position of the weld seam 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 torch 42 also does not need to be adjusted. During welding, only the position of the welding torch 42 needs to be finely adjusted through the automatic adjustment component 4134, and then the welding torch 42 is driven by the second driving mechanism 411 to move along the first direction for welding. Specifically, the carbon dioxide shielded arc welding is used to weld the weld seam 202 of the hoop fastener 200.

[0139] After welding is completed, each clamping block and each pressing block move in the reverse direction and separate from the hoop fastener 200. The flipping driving part 39 drives the rotating arm 313 to switch the baffle mechanism 31 from the clamping position to the flipping position, and the hoop fastener 200 is flipped from the baffle mechanism 31 to the rotating device 50.

[0140] The rotating grid 54 of the rotating device 50 switches from the carrying position to the conveying position, rotates the hoop fastener 200 onto the conveying device 60, and the conveying device 60 outputs the hoop fastener 200, and the whole process is completed. Specifically, the conveying device 60 outputs the hoop fastener 200 through a belt.

[0141] The welding and conveying equipment 100 provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0142] 1. Through the mutual cooperation of the material receiving device 20, the pressing device, the welding device 40, the rotating device 50 and the conveying device 60, the alignment, welding and conveying of the weld seam 202 can be automatically completed, reducing the working intensity of the operators and improving the working efficiency.

[0143] 2. The welding and conveying method of the welding and conveying equipment 100 is: taking materials in the vertical position, welding flat seams and discharging materials by flipping. Taking materials in the vertical position saves space, the flat seam welding has good quality, and flipping is convenient for discharging materials.

[0144] 3. Through the mutual cooperation of the baffle mechanism 31, the first clamping mechanism 34, the second clamping mechanism 35, the first pressing mechanism 32 and the second pressing mechanism 33 of the pressing device, the hoop fastener 200 can be clamped in multiple directions to facilitate the alignment of the weld seam 202 and improve the welding quality.

[0145] 4. The inclination angle of the welding torch 42 of the welding device 40 relative to the welding mechanism 41 is adjustable to adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 42, so as to facilitate finding the welding angle for different sizes of hoop fasteners 200 and improve the welding effect.

[0146] 5. By setting the rotatable rotating grid 54, the rotating device 50 cooperates with the baffle mechanism 31 of the clamping device 30 and the conveying device 60 to facilitate the output of the hoop fastener 200.

[0147] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.

[0148] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, 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 appended claims.
