Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cutting and welding technology, and more specifically, to an integrated cutting and welding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, for some structures that require welding together multiple pipes, plates, and other materials, manual cutting and welding of the materials is usually required, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in low production efficiency.

[0003] For example, in the electromechanical construction of stations and depots, cable trays or cable management systems are required. Unless the design and specifications mandate the use of integrated supports and seismic supports, angle steel welded hangers are generally chosen to support the cable trays. Before welding the angle steel, it is usually necessary to manually cut it, and then weld the cut angle steel. This results in a time-consuming and labor-intensive manufacturing process with low production efficiency. Furthermore, the welding process involves hot work, posing certain safety hazards to the operators. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0050] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0051] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "horizontal direction" and "vertical direction" are generally defined based on the normal operating condition of the integrated cutting and welding machine. Furthermore, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding structures, and "far" and "near" refer to the distance from the corresponding structures. The aforementioned directional terms are for the convenience of describing this disclosure only and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure.

[0052] In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second," are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate order or importance.

[0053] refer to Figures 1-9 As shown, this disclosure provides a cutting and welding integrated machine, including a frame 10, a feeding mechanism 20, a first conveying mechanism 30, a cutting mechanism 40, a transfer mechanism 50, multiple material fixing mechanisms 60, and a welding mechanism 70; the frame 10 has a feeding station 11, a cutting station 12, and a welding station 13; the feeding mechanism 20 is located at the feeding station 11 and is used to place the material at the material stacking point onto the first conveying mechanism 30, which is used to convey the material to the cutting station 12; the cutting mechanism 40 is located at the cutting station 12 and is used to cut the material located at the cutting station 12; the welding mechanism 70 and the multiple material fixing mechanisms 60 are both located at the welding station 13; the transfer mechanism 50 is used to transfer the material cut by the cutting mechanism 40 to the material fixing mechanism 60 so that the material fixing mechanism 60 can fix the material; and the welding mechanism 70 is used to weld the materials on the multiple material fixing mechanisms 60 together.

[0054] Through the above technical solution, the feeding mechanism 20 can place the material located at the material stacking point onto the first conveying mechanism 30. The first conveying mechanism 30 can then convey the material picked up by the feeding mechanism 20 to the cutting station 12. The cutting mechanism 40 located at the cutting station 12 can cut the material. After the material is cut into a preset length, the transfer mechanism 50 can sequentially transfer the cut material to multiple material fixing mechanisms 60, so that the welding mechanism 70 located at the welding station 13 can perform welding operations on the materials on the multiple material fixing mechanisms 60. In the above processing, the feeding, transfer, cutting, and welding of materials do not require manual intervention, thus reducing labor costs and effectively improving the safety, reliability, and production efficiency of the processing.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism 20 may include a first multi-axis robotic arm 21, an image acquisition device 22, and a material adsorption component 23. The first end of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 is connected to the frame 10, and the second end of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 is provided with the image acquisition device 22 and the material adsorption component 23. The image acquisition device 22 is used to acquire image information of the material at the material stacking point. The first multi-axis robotic arm 21 is used to move according to the image information acquired by the image acquisition device 22 so that the material adsorption component 23 can adsorb the material at the material stacking point.

[0056] Since the first end of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 is connected to the frame 10, and the second section of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 is equipped with an image acquisition device 22 and a material adsorption component 23, during the loading process, the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 can drive the image acquisition device 22 and the material adsorption component 23 to move towards the material stacking point. The image acquisition device 22 located at the second end of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 can acquire image information of the material located at the material stacking point, such as identifying the outer contour and type of the material. The first multi-axis robotic arm 21 can drive the material adsorption component 23 to a suitable position based on the image information acquired by the image acquisition device 22, so as to adsorb the material located at the material stacking point. After the material adsorption component 23 adsorbs the material, the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 moves so that the material adsorption component 23 can place the material onto the first conveying mechanism 30.

[0057] Here, the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 mentioned above can be selected as a robotic arm with any number of degrees of freedom or any number of axes according to the required flexibility, such as a four-axis robotic arm, a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, etc.

[0058] As an exemplary implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first multi-axis robotic arm 21 may include a first rotating base 210, multiple first connecting arms 220, and multiple first servo motors 230. The first rotating base 210 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The multiple first connecting arms 220 are hinged together. The first connecting arm 220 closest to the first rotating base 210 is connected to the first rotating base 210 via a first servo motor 230. Adjacent first connecting arms 220 are connected via the remaining first servo motors 230. The image acquisition device 22 and the material adsorption component 23 are located at the position furthest from the first rotating base 210. On a connecting arm 220, during the material transfer process, the first rotating base 210 can rotate relative to the frame 10, thereby driving the first connecting arm 220, the first servo motor 230, the image acquisition device 22, and the material adsorption component 23 connected to the first rotating base 210 to rotate. In this process, the first servo motor 230 can drive the first connecting arm 220 to rotate, thereby adjusting the height, angle, and other positions of the image acquisition device 22 and the material adsorption component 23, so as to facilitate the image acquisition device 22 to acquire the material and the material adsorption component 23 to adsorb the material.

[0059] Optionally, the number of multiple first connecting arms 220 may be greater than or equal to three to improve the flexibility of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21.

[0060] In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, the material adsorption element 23 can be an electromagnet. The electromagnet can generate magnetic attraction to adsorb materials when energized and can release materials when de-energized. By energizing and de-energizing the electromagnet, rapid adsorption and release of materials can be achieved, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0061] Of course, this disclosure does not limit the type of material adsorption element 23. The material adsorption element 23 can be any structure that can meet the adsorption requirements of the material. For example, the material adsorption element 23 can also be a suction cup. Specifically, when the suction cup is sucked, a negative pressure is generated inside the suction cup to achieve the adsorption of the material. After the suction cup has transferred the material to a suitable position, air is injected into the suction cup. At this time, the negative pressure inside the suction cup becomes a positive pressure, and the suction cup detaches from the material, completing the material transfer operation.

[0062] For materials of a certain length, to prevent the material from shaking, swaying, or falling during the movement of the material adsorption element 23, in one embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figure 2As shown, the feeding mechanism 20 may further include a mounting plate 24, which is disposed at the second end of the first multi-axis robotic arm 21. The image acquisition device 22 and the material adsorption component 23 are mounted on the same side of the mounting plate 24. There are multiple material adsorption components 23, which are spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate 24. When adsorbing material, the multiple material adsorption components 23 spaced apart along the length of the mounting plate 24 can jointly adsorb the material, which can increase the contact area between the material and the adsorption effect, thereby improving the adsorption effect and preventing the material from loosening or falling during the transfer process.

[0063] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the length of the material adsorption element 23 can be increased to increase the contact area between the material adsorption element 23 and the material, thereby improving the adsorption effect.

[0064] Furthermore, to facilitate cutting materials to preset dimensions, in one embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the integrated cutting and welding machine may also include a light emitter 80, a light receiver 81, and a control module arranged opposite to each other. Both the light emitter 80 and the light receiver 81 are located at the cutting station 12. The light emitter 80 emits light, and the light receiver 81 receives the light emitted by the light emitter 80. The control module is electrically connected to both the light receiver 81 and the cutting mechanism 40. The control module is used to: start timing in response to an interruption in the light emitted by the light emitter 80 received by the light receiver 81; and control the first conveying mechanism 30 to stop conveying and control the cutting mechanism 40 to perform the cutting action in response to the timing duration reaching a preset duration. The preset duration is determined based on the conveying speed of the first conveying mechanism 30 and a preset material cutting length.

[0065] During the movement of the material driven by the first conveying mechanism 30, when the front end of the material reaches the cutting station 12, the material will block the light emitter 80 set on the cutting station 12. That is to say, at this time, the light receiver 81 cannot receive the light emitted by the light emitter 80. At this time, the control module starts timing. Since the preset material cutting length is fixed and the conveying speed of the first conveying mechanism 30 is also fixed, the length of the material passing through the cutting mechanism 40 can be determined by the timing time of the control module. In this way, when the timing time of the control module reaches the preset time, the control module can control the first conveying mechanism 30 to stop conveying and control the cutting mechanism 40 to perform the cutting action, thereby obtaining the material of the preset length. Moreover, compared with the method of manually measuring and cutting the material, it has higher measurement accuracy and measurement speed.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 8 As shown, the cutting mechanism 40 may include a cutting blade 41, a first cutting drive device 42, a second cutting drive device 43, a horizontal support 44, and vertical supports 45 located at both ends of the horizontal support 44; the cutting blade 41 is movably connected to the horizontal support 44, the first cutting drive device 42 is mounted on the horizontal support 44 and connected to the cutting blade 41 to drive the cutting blade 41 to move; both ends of the horizontal support 44 are movably connected to the vertical supports 45, and the second cutting drive device 43 is mounted on the vertical supports 45 and connected to the horizontal support 44 to drive the horizontal support 44 to move.

[0067] Since the cutting blade 41 is movably connected to the horizontal support 44, and both ends of the horizontal support 44 are movably connected to the vertical support 45, during the cutting of the material, the second cutting drive device 43 can drive the horizontal support 44 to move in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the cutting blade 41 and the material. The first cutting drive device 42 can drive the cutting blade 41 to move horizontally along the extension direction of the horizontal support 44 to cut the material.

[0068] In other words, in the embodiments provided in this disclosure, the cutting blade 41 can move both vertically and horizontally. It is understood that in other embodiments, the cutting blade 41 may also be configured to move only vertically or only horizontally, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the aforementioned light receiver 81 and light emitter 80 can be disposed inside the vertical support 45, and the light receiver 81 and light emitter 80 are disposed at a lower position, so that when the material passes through the vertical support 45, the light emitted by the light emitter 80 can be blocked, so that the control module can respond to the interruption of the light emitted by the light emitter received by the light receiver and start timing.

[0070] In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as Figure 8As shown, the first cutting drive device 42 may include a first cutting motor 420 and a first cutting screw 421. The first cutting screw 421 extends horizontally and is rotatably mounted on a horizontal bracket 44. A cutting blade 41 is fitted onto the first cutting screw 421 and forms a screw-nut pair with the first cutting screw 421. The first cutting motor 420 is connected to a first material fixing screw 6105 and is used to drive the first material fixing screw 6105 to rotate. The second cutting drive device 43 may include a second cutting motor 430 and a second cutting screw 431. The second cutting screw 431 extends vertically. A horizontal bracket 44 is fitted onto the second cutting screw 431 and forms a screw-nut pair with the second cutting screw 431. The second cutting motor 430 is connected to a second material fixing screw 6107 and is used to drive the second material fixing screw 6107 to rotate.

[0071] In other embodiments, the first cutting drive device 42 and the second cutting drive device 43 may also be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc., and this disclosure does not limit them.

[0072] To facilitate material cutting, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the integrated cutting and welding machine may further include a clamping mechanism 90 located between the first conveying mechanism 30 and the cutting mechanism 40. The clamping mechanism 90 may include a clamping drive device 91 and two clamping plates 92 arranged opposite each other along a conveying direction perpendicular to the first conveying mechanism 30. The clamping drive device 91 is connected to the clamping plates 92 and is used to drive the clamping plates 92 to move. The clamping drive device 91 is electrically connected to the control module. The control module is also used to: control the clamping drive device 91 to drive the clamping plates 92 to move in response to the timing duration reaching a preset duration, so that the two clamping plates 92 can clamp the material.

[0073] By setting two clamping plates 92 that are positioned opposite each other, when the light emitted by the light transmitter 80 and received by the light receiver 81 is interrupted, the control module can start timing. When the timing reaches the preset duration, the first conveying mechanism 30 is controlled to stop conveying, and the clamping drive device 91 is controlled to drive the clamping plate 92 to move and clamp onto the material, so that the material remains stationary and fixed after reaching the predetermined position, which facilitates the subsequent cutting mechanism 40 to perform the cutting action.

[0074] It should be noted that the aforementioned clamping drive device 91, connected to the clamping plate 92 and used to drive the clamping plate 92 to move, can be connected to one of the two clamping plates 92. Under the control of the control module, the clamping drive device 91 can drive the clamping plate 92 to move towards the other clamping plate 92, thereby achieving material clamping. Alternatively, the clamping drive device 91 can be connected to both clamping plates 92 respectively. Under the control of the control module, the clamping drive device 91 can drive the two clamping plates 92 to move in opposite directions, thereby achieving material clamping.

[0075] In embodiments where the clamping drive device 91 is connected to two clamping plates 92 respectively, optionally, as shown in the following embodiments, the clamping drive device 91 is connected to two clamping plates 92 respectively. Figure 3 As shown, the clamping drive device 91 may include a first clamping drive motor 911, a second clamping drive motor, a first clamping lead screw, and a second clamping lead screw. Both the first and second clamping lead screws are axially locked and circumferentially rotatable connected to the frame 10. The first and second clamping drive motors are respectively located on both sides of the frame 10 in the width direction. The axes of the first and second clamping lead screws are perpendicular to the material transport path. The first clamping drive motor 911 is connected to the first clamping lead screw and is used for driving it. The first clamping screw rotates, and the second clamping drive motor is connected to the second clamping screw and used to drive the second clamping screw to rotate. Both clamping plates 92 have a first threaded hole and a first smooth hole. The first clamping screw has a first threaded section and a first smooth section, and the second clamping screw has a second threaded section and a second smooth section. The first threaded hole of one clamping plate 92 is fitted onto the first threaded section and the first smooth hole is fitted onto the second smooth section. The second threaded hole of the other clamping plate 92 is fitted onto the second threaded section and the second smooth hole is fitted onto the first smooth section.

[0076] In this way, when it is necessary to clamp the material, the first clamping drive motor 911 drives the first clamping screw to rotate, which in turn moves a clamping plate 92 that is threaded on the first clamping screw. The second clamping drive motor drives the second clamping screw to rotate, which in turn moves another clamping plate 92 that is threaded on the second clamping screw. The two clamping plates 92 work together to clamp the material.

[0077] In addition, in order to reduce the force on the first and second clamping screws during rotation, such as Figure 3A support plate 920 is also provided on the clamping plate 92. The support plate 920 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the lower end face of the support plate 920 is supported on the frame 10. In this way, when the first clamping screw and the second clamping screw drive the clamping plate 92 to move, the support plate 920 can play a certain supporting role, reduce the pressure exerted by the clamping plate 92 on the first clamping screw and the second clamping screw, and thus facilitate the flexible rotation of the first clamping screw and the second clamping screw.

[0078] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the integrated cutting and welding machine may further include a second conveying mechanism 100, located between the cutting station 12 and the welding station 13. The second conveying mechanism 100 is used to receive the material cut by the cutting mechanism 40 and convey the material toward the welding station 13. The transfer mechanism 50 is used to transfer the material on the second conveying mechanism 100 to the material fixing mechanism 60. When the cutting blade 41 finishes cutting the material, the second conveying mechanism 100 located between the cutting station 12 and the welding station 13 is activated and conveys the cut material toward the welding station 13. At this time, the transfer mechanism 50 then transfers the material on the second conveying mechanism 100 to the material fixing mechanism 60.

[0079] When the distance between the cutting station 12 and the welding station 13 is long, the second conveying mechanism 100 can facilitate the conveying of the cut material. In addition, the second conveying mechanism 100 can move the cut material away from the cutting station 12, so that the light receiver 81 can receive the light emitted by the light emitter 80 again, which is conducive to the continuous operation of the cutting operation. The cutting mechanism 40 does not need to wait for the transfer mechanism 50 to transfer the cut material before cutting, thereby improving the operation efficiency.

[0080] Optionally, the first conveying mechanism 30 and / or the second conveying mechanism 100 can be a conveying roller type conveying mechanism, or the first conveying mechanism 30 and / or the second conveying mechanism 100 can also be a conveyor belt type conveying mechanism. In short, this disclosure does not limit the specific structure and conveying type of the first conveying mechanism 30 and the second conveying mechanism 100, as long as it can meet the needs of material transfer.

[0081] To facilitate the transfer of the cut material to the material fixing mechanism 60, optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the transfer mechanism 50 may include a second multi-axis robotic arm 51 and a gripper assembly 52. ​​One end of the second multi-axis robotic arm 51 is connected to the frame 10, and the other end is connected to the gripper assembly 52. ​​The second multi-axis robotic arm 51 is used to drive the gripper assembly 52 to move. The gripper assembly 52 may include a gripper drive device 520 and a gripper part 530. The gripper drive device 520 is mounted on the second multi-axis robotic arm 51 and connected to the gripper part 530. The gripper drive device 520 is used to drive the gripper part 530 to rotate. The gripper part 530 is configured to grip materials. During the process of the transfer mechanism 50 transferring materials from the second conveying mechanism 100 to the welding mechanism 70, the second multi-axis robotic arm 51 can drive the gripper assembly 52 to move between the second conveying mechanism 100 and the welding mechanism 70. When the gripper assembly 52 is transported to the vicinity of the material, the angle of the gripper part 530 can be adjusted by the gripper drive device 520 to achieve the gripping of the material.

[0082] In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the gripper drive device 520 may include a gripper rotation drive motor 521 and a mounting block 522. The gripper part 530 is mounted on the mounting block 522. The output shaft of the gripper rotation drive motor 521 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 522. When the gripper rotation drive motor 521 is running, the output shaft of the gripper rotation drive motor 521 rotates, causing the mounting block 522 to rotate, thereby causing the gripper part 530 to rotate, thus realizing the adjustment of the angle at which the gripper part 530 grips the material.

[0083] Of course, the gripper drive device 520 can be any structure that can meet the driving requirements of the gripper part 530, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0084] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the gripper part 530 may include a gripper moving motor 533, a gripper moving screw 534, a first gripper member 531, and a second gripper member 532. One of the first gripper member 531 and the second gripper member 532 is mounted on the gripper moving screw 534 and forms a screw-nut pair with the gripper moving screw 534. The gripper moving motor 533 is connected to the gripper moving screw 534 and is used to drive the gripper moving screw 534 to rotate. Thus, when the gripper moving motor 533 rotates, one of the first gripper member 531 and the second gripper member 532 mounted on the gripper moving screw 534 moves closer to the other, thereby clamping the material located between the first gripper member 531 and the second gripper member 532.

[0085] like Figure 4As shown, in order to improve the gripping effect of the first gripper 531 and the second gripper 532 on the material, a clamping block is formed at the end of both the first gripper 531 and the second gripper 532. The clamping block is relatively large, which can increase the contact area between the gripper and the material during the gripping process, thereby increasing the friction between the gripper and the material, and making the gripping of the material more firm and reliable.

[0086] Here, the second multi-axis robotic arm 51 mentioned above can be selected as a robotic arm with any number of degrees of freedom or any number of axes according to the required flexibility, such as a four-axis robotic arm, a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, etc.

[0087] In one exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second multi-axis robotic arm 51 may include a second rotating base 510, a plurality of second connecting arms 511, and a plurality of second servo motors 512. The second rotating base 510 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The plurality of second connecting arms 511 are hinged to each other. The second connecting arm 511 closest to the second rotating base 510 is connected to the second rotating base 510 via a second servo motor 512. Adjacent second connecting arms 511 are connected to each other via the remaining second servo motors 512. The gripper assembly 52 and the gripper drive device are connected to the part furthest from the second rotating base 510. On the second connecting arm 511, during the material transfer process, the second rotating base 510 can rotate relative to the frame 10, thereby driving the second connecting arm 511, the second servo motor 512 and the gripper assembly 52 connected to the second rotating base 510 to rotate. During the gripper assembly 52 gripping the material, the second servo motor 512 can drive the two adjacent second connecting arms 511 to swing to adjust the angle of the gripper assembly 52 relative to the material. After the gripper assembly 52 is adjusted to a suitable position, the gripper drive device 520 drives the gripper part 530 to rotate to realize the gripping of the material.

[0088] To facilitate the fixing of the materials to be welded, in this disclosure, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, optionally, the multiple material fixing mechanisms 60 may include a first material fixing mechanism 61 and a second material fixing mechanism 62. The first material fixing mechanism 61 may include a first clamping component 610 for clamping materials, and the second material fixing mechanism 62 may include a second clamping component 620 for clamping materials. The first clamping component 610 is provided with a first insertion space 611 for inserting materials, and the second clamping component 620 is provided with a second insertion space 621 for inserting materials. The transfer mechanism 50 is used to sequentially insert the materials cut by the cutting mechanism 40 into the first insertion space 611 and the second insertion space 621, and to make the materials located in the first insertion space 611 extend vertically and the materials located in the second insertion space 621 extend horizontally.

[0089] By setting up a first clamping component 610 and a second clamping component 620, and providing a first insertion space 611 for material insertion in the first clamping component 610 and a second insertion space 621 for material insertion in the second clamping component 620, the transfer mechanism 50 can sequentially insert the material cut by the cutting mechanism 40 into the first insertion space 611 and the second insertion space 621, thereby fixing and limiting the two materials respectively, so as to facilitate the subsequent welding mechanism 70 to weld the materials.

[0090] Furthermore, since the material in the first insertion space 611 extends vertically and the material in the second insertion space 621 extends horizontally, the material in the first insertion space 611 can be perpendicular to the material in the second insertion space 621, so that the welded material forms a preset shape.

[0091] To improve the welding accuracy between the material held in the first clamping assembly 610 and the material held in the second clamping assembly 620, optionally, as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, one of the first clamping component 610 and the second clamping component 620 is configured to move closer to or further away from the other to adjust the distance between them. This allows the welding positions of the material held by the first clamping component 610 and the second clamping component 620 to align. The second clamping component 620 can move closer to or further away from each other, thus adjusting the distance between the material inserted in the first insertion space 611 and the material inserted in the second insertion space 621. This ensures the welding positions of the two materials align, improving the accuracy of the welding mechanism 70 during the welding process.

[0092] It should be noted that this disclosure does not restrict the order in which the distance between the first clamping component 610 and the second clamping component 620 is adjusted or the order in which the materials are inserted into the first insertion space 611 and the second insertion space 621. For example, two materials can be inserted into the first insertion space 611 and the second insertion space 621, and then the distance between the two materials can be adjusted by the relative movement between the first clamping component 610 and the second clamping component 620. Alternatively, the first clamping component 610 and the second clamping component 620 can be adjusted to a preset position first, and then the two materials can be inserted into the first insertion space 611 and the second insertion space 621.

[0093] Here, when the transfer mechanism 50 transfers materials, it can first transfer the first piece of material to the first insertion space 611 and then transfer the second piece of material to the second insertion space 621. Alternatively, the transfer mechanism 50 can first transfer the first piece of material to the second insertion space 621 and then transfer the second piece of material to the first insertion space 611. The order in which the transfer mechanism 50 transfers materials to the first insertion space 611 and then to the second insertion space 621 is not limited.

[0094] Furthermore, this disclosure does not limit the type or shape of the material. For example, the material can be plate-shaped or tubular. In one embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as... Figure 7 , Figure 9As shown, optionally, the material can be angle steel 200, which may include a first portion 201 and a second portion 202 forming an L-shape; the first clamping assembly 610 may include a first clamping member 6101 and a second clamping member 6102. The first clamping member 6101 may include a first plate 61011 and a second plate 61012 forming an L-shape, and the second clamping member 6102 is parallel to the first plate 61011. The first clamping member 6101 and the second clamping member 6102 together define a first insertion space 611. The space between the first plate 61011 and the second clamping member 6102 is used to accommodate the first portion 201 of the angle steel 200, and the second plate 61012 and the second clamping member 6102 are used to jointly clamp the angle steel 200. The second part 202 of the steel 200; the second clamping assembly 620 may include a third clamping member 6201 and a fourth clamping member 6202. The third clamping member 6201 may include a third plate 62011 and a fourth plate 62012 located on top of the third plate 62011. The third plate 62011 and the fourth plate 62012 are perpendicular to each other. The fourth clamping member 6202 is parallel to the third plate 62011, and a second insertion space 621 is defined between the fourth clamping member 6202 and the third plate 62011. The fourth clamping member 6202 and the third plate 62011 are used to jointly clamp the first part 201 of the angle steel 200, and the fourth plate 62012 is used to support the second part 202 of the angle steel 200.

[0095] The angle steel 200 is L-shaped. When the angle steel 200 is inserted into the first insertion space 611 defined by the first clamping member 6101 and the second clamping member 6102, the first plate 61011 and the second clamping member 6102 are used to accommodate the first part 201 of the angle steel 200, and the second plate 61012 and the second clamping member 6102 are used to clamp the second part 202 of the angle steel 200. That is, the first insertion space 611 defined by the first clamping member 6101 and the second clamping member 6102 is consistent with the shape of the angle steel 200, thus making it easier to clamp the angle steel 200. Furthermore, the first plate 61011 and the second plate 61012 and the second clamping member 6102 fix and limit the angle steel 200 from two directions, which can improve... The stability of the angle steel 200 during clamping is improved. Similarly, when the angle steel 200 is inserted into the second insertion space 621 defined between the fourth clamping member 6202 and the third plate 62011, the fourth clamping member 6202 and the third plate 62011 are used to jointly clamp the first part 201 of the angle steel 200, and the fourth plate 62012 is used to support the second part 202 of the angle steel 200. That is to say, the fourth plate 62012 can support the angle steel 200, and the fourth clamping member 6202 and the third plate 62011 can be used to clamp the angle steel 200, so that the angle steel 200 is in a more stable state, and it is also easier to connect and weld with the angle steel 200 clamped between the first clamping member 6101 and the second clamping member 6102.

[0096] Specifically, in one embodiment provided in this disclosure, optionally, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the first material fixing mechanism 61 may further include a first material fixing motor 6104, a first material fixing screw 6105, a second material fixing motor 6106, and a second material fixing screw 6107. Both the first material fixing screw 6105 and the second material fixing screw 6107 extend from the first clamping assembly 610 to the second material fixing mechanism 62. A first plate 61011 is fitted onto the first material fixing screw 6105 and forms a screw-nut pair with the first material fixing screw 6105. The first material fixing motor 6104 is connected to the first material fixing screw 6105 and is used to drive the first material fixing screw 6105 to rotate. The second clamping member 6102 is fitted onto the second material fixing screw. The third material fixing mechanism 62 may include a third material fixing motor 6203 and a third material fixing screw 6204. The third plate 62011 is sleeved on the third material fixing screw 6204 and forms a screw-nut pair with the third material fixing screw 6204. The third material fixing motor 6203 is connected to the third material fixing screw 6204 and is used to drive the third material fixing screw 6204 to rotate, so that the third plate 62011 can approach or move away from the fourth clamping member 6202.

[0097] For the first material fixing mechanism 61, when it is necessary to clamp the material, the first material fixing motor 6104 runs and drives the first material fixing screw 6105 to rotate. At this time, the first plate 61011, which is sleeved on the first material fixing screw 6105 and forms a screw-nut pair with the first material fixing screw 6105, will move along the length direction of the first material fixing screw 6105. The second material fixing motor 6106 runs and drives the second material fixing screw 6107 to rotate. At this time, the second clamping member 6102, which is sleeved on the second material fixing screw 6107 and forms a screw-nut pair with the second material fixing screw 6107, will move along the length direction of the second material fixing screw 6107. Both the first material fixing screw 6105 and the second material fixing screw 6107 originate from the first clamping assembly 61. The distance between the first plate 61011 and the second clamping member 6102 is adjusted (i.e., the size of the first insertion space 611 is adjusted), thus achieving the clamping of the material. Similarly, for the second material fixing mechanism 62, when it is necessary to clamp the material, the third material fixing motor 6203 runs and drives the third material fixing screw 6204 to rotate. At this time, the third plate 62011, which is sleeved on the third material fixing screw 6204 and forms a screw-nut pair with the third material fixing screw 6204, will move along the length direction of the third material fixing screw 6204 to adjust the distance between it and the fourth clamping member 6202 (i.e., the size of the second insertion space 621 is adjusted), thus achieving the clamping of the material supported on the fourth plate 62012.

[0098] Of course, the first material fixing mechanism 61 and the second material fixing mechanism 62 can be any structure that can satisfy the clamping of materials, and the specific structure of the first material fixing mechanism 61 and the second material fixing mechanism 62 is not limited in this disclosure.

[0099] Furthermore, this disclosure does not limit the number of the first material fixing mechanism 61. For example, in an exemplary embodiment provided in this disclosure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, there can be two first material fixing mechanisms 61, with each first material fixing mechanism 61 located on opposite sides of the second material fixing mechanism 62. Thus, after the transfer mechanism 50 places the three pieces of material into the first insertion space 611 and the two second insertion spaces 621 respectively, the two pieces of material in the two second insertion spaces 621 are located on either side of the material in the first insertion space 611. Since the material in the first insertion space 611 extends vertically and the material in the second insertion spaces 621 extends horizontally, the three pieces of material together form a U-shape, as shown... Figure 9 As shown.

[0100] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the welding mechanism 70 may include a third multi-axis robotic arm 71 and a welding torch 72. One end of the third multi-axis robotic arm 71 is connected to the frame 10, and the other end is connected to the welding torch 72. The third multi-axis robotic arm 71 is used to drive the welding torch 72 to move. During the welding process, the third multi-axis robotic arm 71 can drive the welding torch 72 to move relative to the material to be welded. When the welding torch 72 is adjusted to a suitable position, the material is welded.

[0101] Similarly, such as Figure 1 As shown, the third multi-axis robotic arm 71 may include a third rotating base 710, multiple third connecting arms 711, and multiple third servo motors 712. The third rotating base 710 is rotatably connected to the frame 10. The third connecting arms 711 are connected to the third rotating base 710 via the third servo motors 712. Adjacent third connecting arms 711 are connected via the third servo motors 712. The welding torch 72 is connected to the end of the third connecting arm 711 furthest from the third rotating base 710. Thus, during the material transfer process, the third rotating base 710 can rotate relative to the frame 10, thereby driving the third connecting arms 711, the second servo motors 512, and the welding torch 72 connected to the third rotating base 710 to rotate. At the same time, the second servo motors 512 can drive the two adjacent second connecting arms 511 to swing to adjust the angle of the welding torch 72 relative to the material. After the welding torch 72 is adjusted to a suitable position, the welding operation can be performed on the material.

[0102] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, the frame 10 also has a material unloading station 14, at which a material unloading platform 141 is provided. The transfer mechanism 50 is also used to transfer the welded material from the material fixing mechanism 60 to the material unloading platform 141. The material unloading platform 141 is inclined so that the material can slide down. The transfer mechanism 50 can transfer the material after measurement, cutting and welding from the material fixing mechanism 60 to the slope of the material unloading platform 141. Under the action of the material's own gravity, the material slides down the slope to the bottom of the frame 10 and enters the next process.

[0103] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0104] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0105] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
