Detailed Implementation
[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0043] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a duplex stainless steel preparation equipment, including a wire stranding assembly 1, a welding assembly 2, and a power device connected to the wire stranding assembly 1. A wire feeding assembly 3 is provided between the wire stranding assembly 1 and the welding assembly 2. The wire feeding assembly 3 includes a conveying mechanism 31 connected to the power source and a wire feeder 32 that cooperates with the welding assembly 2. The wire feeder 32 is used to feed the wire strands to the welding assembly 2. The conveying mechanism 31 includes a housing 310, on which an inlet 311 connected to the outlet end of the wire stranding assembly 1 and an outlet 312 connected to the inlet end of the wire feeder 32 are provided.
[0044] In this embodiment, the stranding assembly 1 includes a support frame 11, on which a disc 12 connected to a power device is rotatably mounted. A plurality of wire feeding discs 13 are fixed on the side of the disc 12 facing the wire feeder 32, and the plurality of wire feeding discs 13 are circumferentially distributed with the rotation center of the disc 12 as the center. The power device includes a variable frequency motor 14 connected to the support frame 11 and a transmission shaft 15 disposed at the center of the turntable. The variable frequency motor 14 is connected to the transmission shaft 15 through a coupling 16.
[0045] When the variable frequency motor 14 starts, power is transmitted to the disc 12 via the coupling 16. Wire feeding reels 13 are circumferentially distributed on the side of the disc 12 furthest from the motor 14. Seven welding wires are wound onto the wire feeding reels 13, with one end of each wire clamped between the two clamping rollers 6 of the housing 310. As the disc 12 rotates, the seven welding wires wind together to form strands. These strands are then directly fed to the wire feeder 32 by the wire feeding assembly 3 to cooperate with the welding assembly 2 for welding. This allows for on-site winding and twisting of the welding wires, avoiding the complexity of pre-designed strands. Furthermore, simultaneous production and use solves the problem of excessive waste from the accumulation of stranded wire material.
[0046] Meanwhile, the coupling 16 is a flexible coupling with elastic elements, which can reduce the impact of motor vibration on the stability of the strand.
[0047] The wire feeding assembly 3 includes a conveying mechanism 31 and a wire feeder 32. The wire feeder 32 is located on one side of the welding machine and can move synchronously with the welding machine. The conveying mechanism 31 includes a housing 310. The housing 310 is provided with a feed inlet 311 corresponding to the wire twisting assembly 1 and a feed outlet corresponding to the welding assembly 2. A pair of clamping rollers 6 are provided at the feed inlet 311 of the housing 310, and the height of the upper clamping roller 6 can be adjusted up and down by a screw, thereby adjusting the gap between the two clamping rollers 6 so that it can adapt to wires of different specifications.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, a pair of vertically distributed transmission chain groups 313 are also provided inside the housing 310. The transmission chain groups 313 are provided with clamping plate groups 314 formed by several pressure plates 3141. The transmission chain groups 313 include a pair of chains 3132 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 310. The clamping plate groups 314 are arranged on the opposite side of the pair of chains 3132. The pair of chains 3132 are driven by a rotating shaft 3130 and a sprocket 3131. One of the rotating shafts 3130 is connected to a motor. The upper and lower transmission chain groups 313 are synchronously driven by a belt.
[0049] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the clamping plate assembly 314 includes a cam push rod 3140 disposed on a link of the chain 3132. The cam push rod 3140 is slidably connected to the link. A pressure plate 3141 is slidably disposed at one end of the cam push rod 3140 relative to the feeding channel 315. A first spring 3142 is disposed between the pressure plate 3141 and the cam push rod 3140 to drive the pressure plate 3141 to compress the twisted wire. It also includes a clamping plate assembly 3144 disposed on the side wall of the housing 310 for driving the cam push rod 3140 relative to the feeding channel 3132. 5. A sliding cam frame 316 and a second spring 3143 abutting against the cam frame 316. The cam frame 316 includes a drive section 3160 that is laterally arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the housing 310 and abuts against the end of the cam push rod 3140. The two ends of the drive section 3160 are provided with release sections 3161, which are located at the discharge port 312 and the inlet 311, respectively, and are used to drive the cam push rod 3140 to drive the pressure plate 3141 away from the twisted wire.
[0050] During the movement of the pressure plate 3141 driven by the chain 3132, the cam push rod 3140 first enters the drive section 3160 along the release section 3161. After entering the drive section 3160, the cam push rods 3140 on both sides move towards the feeding channel 315, thereby driving the pressure plate 3141 to clamp and press the formed strand. Then, as the pressure plate 3141 is driven forward by the chain 3132, the clamped strand will be driven forward, ultimately achieving the forward conveying of the strand.
[0051] The forward conveying of the stranded wire by the clamping plate group 314 can avoid the slipping between the pressure wheel and the stranded wire, compared with the existing pressure wheel conveying. When the end of the stranded wire formed by the stranded wire assembly 1 passes through the pressure wheel 6, the sprocket 3131 group is started, and then the end of the stranded wire is clamped and moved forward by the clamping plate group 314, so that the stranded wire can automatically pass through the conveying mechanism 31, and the efficiency of the staff is improved.
[0052] As shown in Figure 5 The clamping plate 3141 includes a sleeve 4141 that is in sliding fit with the cam ejector rod 3140. An arc-shaped clamping portion 5141 is arranged at one end of the sleeve 4141 relative to the feeding channel 315. The left and right clamping portions 5141 can clamp and fix the stranded wire. A connecting portion 6141 extends from the top of the clamping portion 5141 to the feeding channel 315. The connecting portions 6141 arranged on the left and right clamping assemblies are staggered. The staggered connecting portions 6141 can increase the distance between the clamping portions 5141 and increase the wrapping area of the stranded wire.
[0053] In use, the initial width of the feeding channel 315 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the stranded wire. The second spring 3143 is arranged between the clamping plate 3141 and the cam ejector rod 3140. When the clamping plate 3141 clamps the stranded wire, the second spring 3143 can press the clamping plate 3141 to the stranded wire to tightly clamp the stranded wire and avoid slipping. The initial setting of the feeding channel 315 is also avoided to be too large or too small to affect the conveying of the stranded wire, which facilitates the adjustment of the staff.
[0054] The welding assembly 2 mainly includes a workbench 22, a base plate 23, and a KUKA robot arm. The welding gun 21 is arranged on the robot arm, which can realize multi-directional rotation and movement and meet the needs of welding additive manufacturing at different angles.
[0055] The protection gas system and the cooling system are also included. The protection gas system includes a gas storage tank and a gas conveying system. The gas storage tank is used to store inert gas used in welding. During welding, the gas conveying system conveys the inert gas to the nozzle of the welding gun 21 to ensure that the welding process is not affected by active gases such as oxygen, thereby enhancing the stability of the welding.
[0056] The cooling system includes a cooling box and a cooling waterway, which are used to reduce the high heat generated by the welding gun 21 during additive manufacturing to prevent the gun from exploding. The cooling system and the protection gas system are both prior art.
[0057] In this embodiment,
