Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts processing equipment, and in particular to a flexible laser welding workstation. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of machining automotive radiator frame assemblies, traditional welding processes are not only inefficient, but also require the full utilization of the automation advantages of welding robots to improve product quality and efficiency, enhance process equipment levels, and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Designing robotic welding workstations to meet these needs is a potential direction.

[0003] Laser welding is an important application of laser material processing technology, and it is widely used, especially in the processing of automotive parts, particularly for welding automotive components with poor accessibility. Typically, to meet the needs of multi-station welding, multiple welding machines are installed in the workshop to satisfy the work requirements of multiple stations, such as eight welding robots operating independently at eight stations. This inevitably increases the equipment procurement cost. Therefore, directly purchasing existing external equipment sets can no longer meet our company's needs. The main problem addressed by this invention is to independently design a welding workstation that is easy to transport, low in cost, highly efficient, occupies little space, and has high work efficiency.

[0004] Safety is paramount for laser welding robots, encompassing two aspects: collision protection for the robot itself and worker safety. Regarding the second issue, typically, welding robots operate within a fixed area equipped with steel protective fences to prevent workers from entering the robot's operating area. For personnel needing to enter or exit the robot's safe zone, safety gates are a crucial access control technology; workers can only enter the robot's safe zone when the safety gate is open. This design cannot achieve standardized modular design. Regarding the first issue, robot safety primarily involves collision protection. This includes not only considering collisions between the robot and foreign objects within the rotating working area but also addressing the collision protection of the robot's moving base during its back-and-forth movement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a flexible laser welding workstation with reasonable structural design, small site occupation, high welding efficiency, safe operation, and the ability to freely select different workstations for work.

[0006] The present invention also provides a welding system for automotive radiator frame assemblies, which is based on a flexible laser welding workstation and has a simple structure and is easy to use.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide a flexible laser welding workstation, which includes a room-like structure arranged in a straight line, with a staircase structure in the middle connecting to the second-floor platform of the room-like structure. The second-floor platform is equipped with a protective railing. A first shielding room and a second shielding room are symmetrically arranged along the staircase structure. The first left wall panel of the first shielding room has a left side door, and the right wall panel of the second shielding room has a right side door. The roofs of the first shielding room and the second shielding room are equipped with multiple heat dissipation and ventilation holes.

[0008] The front wall of the first shielding room is equipped with a No. 1 front door and a No. 3 front door. The rear wall of the first shielding room is equipped with a No. 2 rear door, which is symmetrical to the No. 1 front door, and a No. 4 rear door, which is symmetrical to the No. 3 front door. A No. 1 workstation and a No. 2 workstation are symmetrically arranged at the No. 1 front door and the No. 2 rear door. A No. 3 workstation and a No. 4 workstation are symmetrically arranged at the No. 3 front door and the No. 4 rear door. A No. 3 workstation and a No. 4 workstation are symmetrically arranged at the No. 3 front door and the No. 4 rear door.

[0009] The front wall of the second shielding room is equipped with front door No. 5 and front door No. 7. The rear wall of the second shielding room is equipped with rear door No. 6, which is symmetrical to front door No. 5, and rear door No. 8, which is symmetrical to front door No. 5 and rear door No. 6. Workstation No. 5 and workstation No. 6 are symmetrically arranged at front door No. 5 and rear door No. 8. Workstation No. 7 and workstation No. 8 are symmetrically arranged at front door No. 7 and rear door No. 8. Workstation No. 7 and workstation No. 8 are symmetrically arranged at front door No. 7 and rear door No. 8.

[0010] The first shielding room's front door, second rear door, third front door, and fourth rear door, as well as the second shielding room's front door, seventh front door, sixth rear door, and eighth rear door, are equipped with lifting safety doors connected to the control module.

[0011] A first bidirectional guide rail seat is provided at the center of the first shielding room, distributed along the length of the first shielding room. The first bidirectional guide rail seat is provided with a first bidirectional guide rail and a first guide rack parallel to the first bidirectional guide rail. A first slide is mounted on the first bidirectional guide rail via a slider. The first slide is provided with a first drive device that cooperates with the first guide rack. A first welding robot is mounted on the first slide. A first limit switch is mounted on the first slide. The first drive device, the first limit switch, and the first welding robot are connected to the control module.

[0012] The second shielding room is centrally located with a second bidirectional guide rail seat distributed along the length of the second shielding room. The second bidirectional guide rail seat is equipped with a second bidirectional guide rail and a second guide rack parallel to the second bidirectional guide rail. The second bidirectional guide rail is mounted with a second slide table via a slider. The second slide table is equipped with a second drive device that cooperates with the second guide rack. The second slide table is equipped with a second welding robot and a second limit switch. The second drive device, the second limit switch, and the second welding robot are connected to the control module.

[0013] The bottom of the first bidirectional guide rail seat and the second bidirectional guide rail seat are provided with positioning pads, and the ends of the first bidirectional guide rail and the second bidirectional guide rail are provided with positioning buffer devices.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, this invention meets the high-efficiency processing requirements of automotive radiator frame assemblies by combining an integrated room-type structure with a symmetrically distributed multi-point workstation layout, and utilizes guide rail sliding to meet the multi-station welding of laser welding robots, thereby improving efficiency while ensuring work safety and stability.

[0015] In the flexible laser welding workstation provided by this invention, the positioning buffer device adopts a symmetrical bidirectional head structure. This symmetrical bidirectional head structure has symmetrically distributed triangular seats, and a connecting bracket is provided between the parallel triangular seats. The top of the triangular seats is provided with a limiting buffer block with a flat impact surface through a mating block.

[0016] Furthermore, the flexible limiting buffer block is equipped with a rotary replacement device.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, the integrated modular design of the entire workstation not only allows for long-distance transportation using standardized transport tools such as containers, but more importantly, the house-like structure effectively shields against interference from outsiders and provides good safety protection for workers. Furthermore, the presence of lifting doors automatically completes their own safety protection, improving the intelligence of safety protection and the efficiency of work.

[0018] For the welding robot's own collision protection, a buffer structure composed of a rigid base and flexible materials is used to effectively avoid damage to the internal vibrations of the robot's components caused by rigid collisions. It is worth mentioning that, since the flexible material is a consumable, it is necessary to consider both the rapid replacement performance of the replaceable structure and the safety issues such as unauthorized personnel accidentally detaching the flexible material. Here, a rotary flexible detachment structure design ensures that the flexible material can be replaced promptly while preventing accidental detachment or loss of the collision protection material due to unauthorized operation.

[0019] In the flexible laser welding workstation provided by the present invention, the docking block is equipped with spikes by a cantilever, and the bidirectional guide rail seat is equipped with a horizontal hollow cylinder by a bracket. The horizontal hollow cylinder is equipped with a first diaphragm, a second diaphragm, and a third diaphragm by a pressure block.

[0090] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0091] Example 1: An embodiment of the present invention provides a flexible laser welding workstation, see [link to example]. Figure 1-2 The flexible laser welding workstation comprises a row of room-like structures. This integrated design facilitates modular transportation and other operational needs, while also providing greater flexibility in adapting to different installation sites. The overall size of the structure also makes it suitable for container transport. A staircase structure 1 connects to a second-floor platform in the middle of the structure. A protective railing 6 is installed on the second-floor platform and can be detachably installed to the top of the structure using bolts or other methods. A first shielding room 2 and a second shielding room 3 are symmetrically arranged along the staircase structure. The first shielding room has a first front wall panel 2a, a first rear wall panel 2b, a first left wall panel 2c, and a first right wall panel 2d. Similarly, the second shielding room is equipped with a first front wall panel 3a, a second rear wall panel 3b, a second left wall panel 3c, and a second right wall panel 3d. Considering the structural stability and lightweight of the room structure, the walls are constructed using a frame structure, and plastic or metal panels are fixed on the frame structure. The room structure can use an integrated floor slab, or the floor slabs can be added or removed according to the needs of the workshop.

[0092] See Figure 3-4 As shown, the first left wall panel of the first shielding room has a left side door 4, which is a double door. The right wall panel of the second shielding room has a right side door 5, which is also a double door. Both side doors are equipped with observation windows.

[0093] See Figure 5 The roofs of the first and second shielded rooms are equipped with eight ventilation holes (31). Since the robots operate within the room structure, the relatively enclosed space is not conducive to robot heat dissipation. Therefore, by installing corresponding exhaust fans and other components in the ventilation holes, the internal cooling and ventilation requirements can be effectively met. For safety reasons, grid mesh is installed on the circular ventilation holes to prevent foreign objects from falling into the room structure and to prevent live animals from entering. It is worth mentioning that the roof of the room structure can be constructed using flat panels to create a platform for people to walk on.

[0094] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The first shielding room 2 has a front door 7 and a front door 8 on its front wall. The rear wall of the first shielding room has a rear door 9 symmetrical to the front door 1 and a rear door 10 symmetrical to the front door 3. Workstations 23 and 24 are symmetrically located at front door 7 and rear door 9. Workstation 1 has a positioner 15, and workstation 2 has a positioner 16. Workstations 25 and 26 are symmetrically located at front door 8 and rear door 10. Workstation 3 has a positioner 17, and workstation 4 has a positioner 18. This symmetrical design is beneficial for the welding robot's welding operations. The door frames can be pre-formed during the construction of the room's structure. The second shielding room 3 has a front door 11 and a front door 7 on its front wall. The rear wall of the second shielding room has a front door 9 symmetrical to the front door 7 and a rear door 10. The front door is symmetrically located at rear door 6 (13), and rear door 8 (14) is symmetrically located at front door 7. Workstations 5 (27) and 6 (28) are symmetrically located at front door 5 (11) and rear door 6 (13). Workstation 5 is equipped with positioner 5 (19), and workstation 6 is equipped with positioner 6 (20). Workstations 7 (29) and 8 (30) are symmetrically located at front door 7 and rear door 8. Workstation 7 (21) and workstation 8 (22) are equipped with positioner 7 (21), and workstation 8 (22). The front door 1, rear door 2, rear door 3, and rear door 4 of the first shielded room, and the front door 5, front door 7, rear door 6, and rear door 8 of the second shielded room are equipped with lifting safety doors connected to the control module. This design allows the doors to be opened or closed as needed for work, effectively providing safety protection and avoiding potential injury risks to auxiliary operators during laser welding.

[0095] See Figure 6The first shielding room has a first bidirectional guide rail seat 32 located in the center, distributed along the length of the first shielding room. This design cleverly utilizes the spatial layout of the room structure to improve space utilization efficiency. The first bidirectional guide rail seat 32 is equipped with a first bidirectional guide rail 36 and a first guide rack 38 parallel to the first bidirectional guide rail. The length of the first guide rack is approximately the same as the length of the first bidirectional guide rail. A first slide table 39 is mounted on the first bidirectional guide rail via a slider. The first slide table is equipped with a first driving device that cooperates with the first guide rack. The first driving device includes, but is not limited to, a motor driving device. A first welding robot 40 is mounted on the first slide table. The robot is equipped with a laser welding device (laser welding device is existing technology). A first limit switch 42 is mounted on the first slide table. The first driving device, the first limit switch, and the first welding robot are connected to the control module. The second shielding room is also centrally located with a second bidirectional guide rail seat 34 distributed along the length of the second shielding room. The second bidirectional guide rail seat 34 is equipped with a second bidirectional guide rail 37 and a second guide rack parallel to the second bidirectional guide rail. The second bidirectional guide rail is mounted with a second slide table via a slider. The second slide table is equipped with a second drive device that cooperates with the second guide rack. The second slide table is equipped with a second welding robot 41. The robot is equipped with a laser welding device (the laser welding device is existing technology). The second slide table is equipped with a second limit switch 43. The second drive device, the second limit switch, and the second welding robot are connected to the control module.

[0096] See Figure 7 The first and second bidirectional guide rail seats are equipped with positioning base pads 33 at their bottoms. Each positioning base pad includes a circular block, an adjusting screw, and an adjusting nut. Mounting lugs that mate with the positioning base pads are provided on the guide rail seats, and these lugs have threaded holes. Positioning buffer devices 35 are provided at the ends of both the first and second bidirectional guide rails. These devices effectively prevent the laser welding robot from derailing during its back-and-forth movement. The buffer devices cushion the moving platform on which the robot is located, preventing rigid collisions to the robot's bottom that could damage its internal precision-fitting structure.

[0097] See also Figure 7 The positioning buffer device 35 adopts a symmetrical bidirectional seat head structure. Not only is the internal structure of a single positioning buffer device symmetrically distributed, but the left and right ends of the first bidirectional guide rail are also symmetrically distributed, as are the left and right ends of the second bidirectional guide rail. This symmetrical bidirectional seat head structure has symmetrically distributed triangular seats 35a, which have a strong recoil resistance effect. A connecting bracket 35b is provided between the parallel triangular seats, and a limiting buffer block 35d with a flat impact surface is provided on the top of the triangular seats through a docking block 35c.

[0098] As one example, see Figure 8-9 Flexible limiting buffer blocks are prone to fatigue during long-term use, necessitating replacement. In this case, a suspension axle 35c-1 is vertically mounted on the adapter block, and a metal cross 35c-2 is installed on the suspension axle. The limiting buffer block has a cross-shaped mating hole 35d-1. The diameter of the cross-shaped mating hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the cross, facilitating the insertion of the cross into the slides arranged along the edge of the cross-shaped mating hole. The sidewall of the cross-shaped mating hole has four C-shaped slides arranged in a circular array. The entrance positions of these C-shaped slides allow each end of the cross to be inserted into the slide entrance 35d-2. A magnet 35d-3 is installed at the end of each C-shaped slide, which attracts the metal cross end, keeping the limiting buffer block in a stable position. Figure 8 The installation status shown is as follows. Figure 8 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the direction in which the cross is inserted into the C-shaped slide to fix the limiting buffer block. To replace the limiting buffer block, the rotation direction is reversed. This structural design is beneficial for replacing the limiting buffer block even if it is damaged by stress.

The guiding mechanism here is a variable-width inlet with the top of the first U-shaped positioning fastener being relatively set and the width gradually decreasing from top to bottom. The front end of the automotive radiator frame assembly is quickly guided into the first U-shaped positioning fastener for installation and fixation through the relative inclined surfaces of the first U-shaped positioning fastener. The width of the lower slot of the first U-shaped positioning fastener is adapted to the width of the front end of the automotive radiator frame assembly.

There are two first left limit adjustment bracket side pressure heads 44-4g, which press the two side edges of the first left limit adjustment bracket respectively. The first tooling base plate is provided with a first left limit adjustment bracket side pressure head cantilever limit block 44-4j that cooperates with the first left limit adjustment bracket side pressure head cantilever 44-4i to prevent the first left limit adjustment bracket side pressure rotary cylinder 44-4f from overtravel and damaging the parts. The first tooling base plate is provided with a first left limit adjustment bracket lower pressure seat 44-4k. The first left limit adjustment bracket lower pressure seat 44-4k is generally an L-shaped metal structure. 4-4k is equipped with a first left limit adjustment bracket pressing rotary cylinder 44-4l.

The front end of the first left limit adjustment bracket pressing head has a horizontal U-shaped presser that cooperates with the cylindrical first left limit adjustment bracket lower support body. This can press down the first left limit adjustment bracket while facilitating the passage of the corresponding positioning post. A first left limit adjustment bracket pressing cantilever 44-4p can be added between the first left limit adjustment bracket pressing head 44-4m and the first left limit adjustment bracket pressing rotary cylinder 44-4l. The first left limit adjustment bracket pressing seat 44-4k is equipped with a front lower top block 44-4n in the left oblique section of the automotive radiator frame assembly.The first left limit adjustment bracket downward rotary cylinder 44-4l is equipped with an upper pressure block 44-4o in the front middle part of the left inclined section of the automotive radiator frame assembly, which mates with the lower top block 44-4n in the front middle part of the left inclined section of the automotive radiator frame assembly. For example, the upper pressure block 44-4o in the front middle part of the left inclined section of the automotive radiator frame assembly is installed onto the lower cantilever 44-4p of the first left limit adjustment bracket.

[0103] See Figure 18 The figure shows the first left front instrument panel mounting limit adjustment bracket X2, which is welded to the automotive radiator frame assembly.

The left front radiator frame assembly lower support lifting cylinder 44-6b rises, causing the left front radiator frame assembly lower support block 44-6c to press against the lower surface of the radiator frame assembly.

[0105] See Figure 21 The diagram shows the left-side inclined section radiator frame support reinforcement X3 of the automotive radiator frame assembly. This structural component also needs to be welded on this fixture. Since the welding is completed remotely via laser non-contact welding, the obstruction does not affect the welding operation. For the detailed structure of the fixing assembly 44-7 of the left-side inclined section radiator frame support reinforcement X3 of the automotive radiator frame assembly, which is mounted on the base plate of the first fixture, please refer to...

[0107] See Figure 28 The automotive radiator frame assembly intermediate straight section clamping assembly 44-9, which is installed on the first tooling base plate, clamps the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly. For detailed structure, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 28-32The front wall clamping structure of the intermediate straight section clamping assembly 44-9 of the automotive radiator frame assembly welding fixture includes a lower base 44-9a for clamping the front wall of the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly, which is set on the base plate of the first fixture. The lower base 44-9a is fixed to the base plate of the first fixture by bolts. There are two lower bases 44-9a. The first guide rail assembly 44-9b is provided on the lower base 44-9a and has two rails distributed on each lower base 44-9a to improve the flexibility and reliability of the operation. The first cylinder assembly 44-9c, which is mounted on the front side wall of the straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly, saves space by being hidden at the bottom of the first tooling base plate. The first cylinder assembly 44-9c is connected to the first slide 44-9d mounted on the first guide rail assembly via the first adapter block 44-9e. It slides by being driven by the first cylinder. The first L-shaped front pressure plate 44-9e, which is set on the first slide, is provided with a front side wall rear surface pressing finger 44-9f that cooperates with the rear surface of the front side wall of the straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly (i.e., the side facing the U-shaped groove of the automotive radiator frame assembly). Two upper bases 44-9g, each mounted on the first tooling base plate, are provided for pressing the front side wall of the straight section of the portal radiator frame assembly. Similarly, two second guide rail assemblies 44-9h, mounted on the upper bases 44-9g, are provided for each single upper base 44-9g to improve the reliability of movement. The cylinder assembly 44-9i, mounted on the upper bases 44-9g, is connected to the second slide 44-9j mounted on the second guide rail assembly. The second L-shaped front pressure plate 44-9k mounted on the second slide is positioned to contact the rear surface of the front side wall of the straight section of the portal radiator frame assembly (i.e.,...) Figure 31The front sidewall front surface pressing fingers 44-9l (facing the observer's side) are equipped with middle straight section suspension ear pressing fingers that press the left suspension ear X5 and the right suspension ear X6 of the middle straight section of the car radiator frame assembly. The front sidewall front surface pressing fingers 44-9l and the rear sidewall front surface pressing fingers 44-9f can press the front sidewall of the middle straight section of the car radiator frame assembly. Additionally, the rear sidewall clamping structure of the intermediate straight section clamping assembly 44-9 of the automotive radiator frame assembly welding fixture includes a clamping base 44-9m for the lower flange (the lower flange is obliquely distributed on the lower edge of the rear sidewall) of the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly, which is disposed on the base plate of the first fixture. The clamping base 44-9m for the lower flange of the rear sidewall of the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly is provided with a clamping base 44-9m for the rear sidewall of the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly that matches the back side of the lower flange of the rear sidewall of the intermediate straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly.

The lower flange rotary pressing cylinder fixing seat 44-9o of the middle straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly is installed on the first tooling base plate. The lower flange rotary pressing cylinder 44-9p of the middle straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly is installed on the lower flange surface pressing finger 44-9q of the lower flange surface of the middle straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly. It is worth mentioning that the middle straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly can be equipped with an upper pressing component and a lower pushing component. The upper pressing component includes an upper pressing rotary cylinder 44-9r, on which an upper pressing block 44-9s is installed. The lower pushing component includes a lower pushing cylinder 44-9t installed on the first tooling base plate, on which an upper pushing block is installed to fit the lower surface of the main board of the middle straight section of the automotive radiator frame assembly.

[0108] See Figure 33 The welding system of this embodiment also includes a right steering section fixing assembly 44-10 of the automotive radiator frame assembly mounted on the first tooling base plate, a right oblique section radiator frame support reinforcement X8 fixing assembly 44-11 of the automotive radiator frame assembly mounted on the first tooling base plate, a first right front support fixing bracket 44-12 of the first tooling base plate, a first right front wall side mounting lug fixing structure 44-13 of the first tooling base plate, and a right front automotive radiator frame assembly lower support assembly 44-14 of the right front side mounting lug lower pressure seat mounted on the edge of the first right front wall side mounting lug. Figure 33The following components are provided: right steering lug X7 of the automotive radiator frame assembly, right oblique section radiator frame support reinforcement X8 of the automotive radiator frame assembly, and first right front wall side-mounted lug X9. It should be noted that the automotive radiator frame assembly is generally a bilaterally symmetrical structure. Therefore, the relevant fixing components on the right side of the automotive radiator frame assembly have the same structure as those on the left side. The structure of the right steering section fixing component 44-10 can be referenced to the left steering section fixing component 44-8. Similarly, the structure of the right oblique section radiator frame support reinforcement component X8 fixing component 44-11 can be referenced to the left oblique section radiator frame support reinforcement component X3 fixing component 44-7. The structure of the first right front support fixing bracket can be referenced to the first left front support fixing bracket 44-3. The structure of the first right front wall side-mounted suspension lug X9 fixing structure 44-13 can be referenced to the first left limit adjustment bracket X1 fixing structure 44-4. The structure of the right front automotive radiator frame lower support component 44-14 can be referenced to the left front automotive radiator frame lower support component 44-6. Figure 18 The first left front instrument panel limit adjustment bracket X2 is not symmetrically distributed on the right side of the car radiator frame assembly, so there is no corresponding fixing structure.

[0109] It should be noted that in this embodiment, all cylinders are connected to the control module, and the corresponding parts on the tooling require manual assembly to weld the sub-parts of the automotive radiator frame assembly according to... Figure 12 Once the object is positioned as shown, the welding robot performs the welding action according to the requirements.

[0110] To improve the level of intelligence, sensing devices for the parts or their fixed structures can be installed to connect to the control module and promptly determine whether different parts are in place.

[0111] For example, the robot selected is the KUKA KR90 R2900 model (the fiber laser installed in the laser welding equipment of the robot is the IPG YLS-4000, and the remote galvanometer welding head is the HIGHYAG RLSK).

[0112] Example 3: This example is an improvement on Example 1. Because the docking block is fixed with a corresponding buffer device, repeated collisions during long-term operation can cause it to directly impact the moving structure if the flexible buffer material fails prematurely. This small displacement can easily cause accidents to the working units on the guide rail. To address this, the inventors have developed a more cost-effective and safer solution by installing a visual micro-travel detection device at the docking block location. Specifically, taking the first bidirectional guide rail seat of the first shielded room as an example, see... Figure 34The docking block 35c is equipped with a spike 45a via a cantilever. The front end of the spike is a structure that can pierce the diaphragm. The first bidirectional guide rail seat is equipped with a horizontal hollow cylinder 45b via a bracket. For example, an internal threaded hole can be provided at the left bottom shell (thickened) of the horizontal hollow cylinder, and the bracket for mounting the horizontal hollow cylinder is equipped with an external threaded rod to cooperate with it. This structure can facilitate the replacement of the horizontal hollow cylinder and can also finely adjust the distance between the diaphragm and the spike inside the hollow cylinder through this threaded assembly structure. A horizontal hollow cylinder is fitted with a first diaphragm 45c, a second diaphragm 45d, and a third diaphragm 45e via pressure blocks. This three-diaphragm structure not only improves the sealing performance of the sealed cavity but, more importantly, prevents accidental triggering. A stepped three-diaphragm mounting platform is provided in the horizontal hollow cylinder. After the first diaphragm is pressed in place, a first pressure block is installed to the right of the first diaphragm. Then, a second diaphragm is pressed onto the right side of the first pressure block, also using the second pressure block. The third diaphragm is then pressed onto the second pressure block, again using the third pressure block. This pressing structure ensures the reliability and stability of the pressing process and also utilizes the sidewall of the hollow cylinder to improve the lateral sealing performance of the diaphragms. Finally, an annular fixing block, fixed to the right edge of the hollow cylinder, is pressed onto the right end face of the third pressure block. The horizontal hollow cylinder forms an inner cavity 45f through this three-diaphragm structure. 5. Due to its horizontal structure, when all three diaphragms are punctured, the cylinder cavity contains an air-expanding agent (including but not limited to expanding foam; the three diaphragms effectively seal and isolate the air). Upon encountering air entering through the third diaphragm, this air-expanding agent expands, causing the three diaphragms to bulge outwards or the agent to be exposed outside the hollow cylinder. At this point, the presence of the air-expanding agent can be visually inspected on the surface of the visualized micro-stroke detection device, thus determining whether the docking block exceeds the preset installation position. This prevents the flexible buffer device from effectively buffering while avoiding risks such as the movement structure on the guide rail detaching. The distance between the tip structure and the third diaphragm is determined by the tolerable preset amount of movement. This structure aims to be more economical for detection in scenarios with millimeter-level ultra-preset displacements, while maintaining excellent reliability and sensitivity.

[0113] Example 4: This example is an improvement on Example 1. Specifically, a cylindrical structure is provided at the heat dissipation and exhaust vent 31, such as... Figure 35As shown, the cylindrical structure has a base cylinder 31-1 at the bottom and a main cylinder 31-2 at the top. An annular groove 31-1a is provided at the top of the base cylinder, and the bottom of the base cylinder is fixedly connected to the roof. An annular protrusion 31-2a is provided at the bottom of the main cylinder, which engages with the annular groove. Multiple U-shaped clips 31-3 are arranged circumferentially at the connection between the base cylinder and the main cylinder. The upper part of the U-shaped clip is fastened to the upper slot of the main cylinder, and the lower part of the U-shaped clip is fastened to the lower slot of the base cylinder. The inner diameter of the main cylinder gradually decreases from bottom to top. While workers can enter through the roof, the open ventilation vents pose a safety hazard of falling (stepping into). The variable-diameter cylindrical structure provides isolation and protection, reducing this risk. The variable-diameter cylinder also acts as a guide to facilitate internal heat dissipation. The variable-diameter cylinder can also serve as a structural component, facilitating the installation of auxiliary components at the ventilation vents.
