Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a fully automated pipe end processing, sealing, and welding integrated processing technology, and relates to the field of pipeline welding technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are more and more household products made of metal tubing, and their market share is increasing year by year. Especially in the manufacturing process of tiered drying racks, in order to ensure that the inner cavities of each tube of the drying rack are interconnected, holes of corresponding specifications, flanged bosses, and heightening and shaping are required at the ends of various tubes. After processing, the ends of the two tubes need to be sealed by welding with corresponding plugs.
[0003] However, in the current technology, similar pipe end punching and flanging are traditionally performed by manual stamping, pipe plugs are assembled manually, and welding is usually done by gas shielded welding or manual welding. The current process has a high turnover rate and a large footprint. After gas shielded welding, the weld marks around the pipe end are higher and the weld is irregular, requiring grinding and polishing. This results in high labor intensity and low production efficiency. In order to reduce labor intensity and improve production efficiency, it is necessary to study a fully automatic pipe end processing and sealing welding integrated processing equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a laser welding process for integrated processing and sealing of towel rack tube ends. This process utilizes PLC program control and the movement of lead screws and cylinders to automatically perform fully automated processing operations such as punching, flanging, plug installation, and laser welding of the tube material in the storage tank. This eliminates the need for traditional manual feeding, punching, flanging, and plug installation, significantly reducing labor intensity, labor costs, and production turnover space. Utilizing a horizontal four-head multi-axis laser welding process, it replaces the traditional gas-shielded welding process for tube end plugs, increasing welding efficiency by more than four times. The weld marks on the tube end face are full and smooth, requiring no additional grinding process. The gas leakage rate is reduced by 20%, and the production cost per tube is reduced by more than 30%. This invention achieves fully automated processing operations from tube end processing and plug installation to laser welding, reducing manual labor intensity, lowering production costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0065] Example 1
[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown: A laser welding process for integrated processing and sealing of towel rack tube ends is applied to a laser welding equipment for integrated processing and sealing of towel rack tube ends.

[0069] Stamping: The punching and flanging mechanism 2 receives the tube to be processed from the feeding mechanism 1, fixes the tube to be processed, and then punches and forms it.
[0070] Secondary feeding of towel rack tubes: The feeding mechanism 1 feeds the tubes to be processed through the punching and flanging mechanism 2 and then transports them to the plug assembly mechanism 6, so that the tubes to be processed are in the assembly state.
[0071] Towel rack tubes are fed three times: then the tube transmission mechanism 8 will lift the tube to be processed; when the tube to be processed is sensed to be in place, the end of the tube to be processed will be welded along the end face of the tube to be processed.

[0073] The specific steps for feeding towel rack tubes include:
[0074] S11. The tubes to be processed are pre-placed in the storage plate 101 and placed on the support plate 105 respectively. The top cylinder 106 of the storage plate drives the support plate 105 to lift all the tubes to be processed in the storage tank.
[0075] S12, the pushing cylinder 104 drives the pushing plate 103 to move forward, and moves the tube to be processed into the contour groove on the end face of the pre-installed fixed plate 107. Simultaneously, the retracting top storage cylinder 106 pushes the tube to be processed in the groove upward.
[0076] S13. The first feeding servo motor 108 drives the feeding slot plate 109 and the processing tube to move forward. When they reach the top of the next contouring groove in the pre-installed fixed plate 107, they stop moving. The first feeding ejection cylinder 110 retracts and places the tube to be processed in the contouring groove of the pre-installed fixed plate 107. The first feeding servo motor 108 drives the feeding slot plate 109 back to the starting position.

A No. 1 servo motor 11 is fixedly connected above the No. 1 feeding mechanical gripper 10. A No. 2 feeding mechanical gripper 12 is slidably connected above the No. 2 feeding mechanical gripper 12. A No. 2 servo motor 13 is fixedly connected above the No. 2 feeding mechanical gripper 12.

A laser head assembly 151 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the laser welding frame 15. The third feeding mechanical gripper 3 includes a guide rail 305, which is fixedly connected between the first base 1111 and the second base 1112. A first lifting cylinder 301 is slidably connected above the guide rail 305. A first clamping cylinder 303 is fixedly connected above the first lifting cylinder 301. A contour gripper 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first clamping cylinder 303. A third servo motor 304 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first lifting cylinder 301. A blocking seat storage vibrating plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the second base 1112.
[0078] In this embodiment, the tubes to be processed are pre-placed in the storage plate 101 and placed on the support plate 105. The storage top cylinder 106 drives the support plate 105 to lift all the tubes to be processed in the storage tank, leaving space for the tubes to move at the bottom. After the operation program is started, one set of storage top cylinders 106 retracts and moves the tubes to be processed in the slot to the storage fixing plate 102. The push cylinder 104 drives the push plate 103 to move forward and moves the tubes to be processed horizontally into the contour groove on the end face of the pre-installed fixing plate 107. The storage top cylinder 106 retracts synchronously and lifts the tubes to be processed in the slot upward, so that the push plate 103 can return to its original position.
[0079] When the tube to be processed is placed in the first contouring groove on the end face of the pre-installed fixed clamping plate 107, after the sensing probe detects that the material is in place, the first feeding ejector cylinder 110 is started to work, driving the feeding clamping plate 109 to lift upwards and lift the tube to be processed out of the contouring groove of the pre-installed fixed clamping plate 107. The first feeding servo motor 108 drives the feeding clamping plate 109 and the tube to be processed to move forward. When they reach the top of the next contouring groove in the pre-installed fixed clamping plate 107, they stop moving. The first feeding ejector cylinder 110 retracts and places the tube to be processed in the contouring groove of the pre-installed fixed clamping plate 107. The first feeding servo motor 108 drives the feeding clamping plate 109 back to the starting position. The above actions are repeated to realize the automatic feeding process of the tube to be processed from the storage tank to the contouring clamping groove 801 of the pre-installed fixed clamping plate 107.
[0080] When the tube to be processed is fed into the contour slot 801 on the pre-installed fixed plate 107, the sensing probe detects that the material is in place. Then, the third servo motor 304 of the third feeding mechanical gripper 3 starts, moving the third feeding mechanical gripper 3 directly below the slot. The first lifting cylinder 301 extends, raising the contour gripper 302 to the tube to be processed. The first clamping cylinder 303 retracts, causing the contour gripper 302 to clamp the tube. The third servo motor 304 then starts, feeding the tube to be processed onto the contour slot of the pre-installed fixed plate 606. The lifting and supporting mechanism 153 has a sensing device at its bottom. When the tube is detected to be in place, the four laser head assemblies 151 and the rotating chuck assembly 15 at both ends of the laser welding frame 15 activate. 2. Simultaneously move towards the center, extending both ends of the tube to be processed into the tube-shaped chuck of the rotating chuck assembly 152. The synchronous lifting and lowering material support mechanism 153 retracts into the laser welding frame 15. A limiting device is provided at one end of the rotating chuck assembly 152 to ensure that the tube to be processed can be automatically centered when the laser head assembly 151 and the rotating chuck assembly 152 move towards the center. After the rotating chuck assembly 152 fixes the tube to be processed, the laser head assembly 151 quickly moves to the end of the tube to be processed and begins welding along the end face of the tube. The rotating chuck assembly 152 and the laser head assembly 151 can rotate synchronously to ensure that the laser head and the tube end maintain an effective welding distance. The four ends of the two tubes to be processed are welded simultaneously.
[0081] After the laser welding of the pipe end plug is completed, the lifting and supporting mechanism 153 extends to lift the welded pipe to be processed, the rotating chuck is released, and the laser head assembly 151 and the rotating chuck assembly 152 move to both sides at the same time until the rotating chuck assembly 152 completely exits from both ends of the pipe to be processed. The second servo motor 13 starts, driving the second feeding mechanical gripper 12 to clamp the two pipes to be processed on the lifting and supporting mechanism 153 at the same time, and raise and stabilize them onto the receiving tray on the automatic receiving mechanism 16.

[0090] S31. Start the No. 2 feeding and ejecting cylinder 609 to drive the feeding plate 607 to lift upwards, and lift the tube to be processed out of the contour groove opened in the pre-installed fixing plate 606.
[0091] S32, the second feeding servo motor 608 drives the feeding plate 607 and the processing tube to move forward. When they reach the top of the next contour groove in the pre-installed fixed plate 606, they stop moving. The second feeding ejection cylinder 609 drives the feeding plate 607 to retract.

[0094] The specific steps for the three-stage feeding of the towel rack include:
[0095] S41. The start-up of the drive motor assembly 805 is controlled by starting the start-up sensor 802 and the limit sensor 804;
[0096] S42. The tube to be processed is moved to the end limit sensor 804, the transmission motor assembly 805 stops working, and waits for the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to pick up the part. The first servo motor 11 drives the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to move above the tube to be processed, and one of the grippers extends to take out the tube to be processed from the end slot of the transmission mechanism.
[0097] S43. If the limit sensor 804 does not detect a tube to be processed in the end slot, the drive motor assembly 805 will restart.
[0098] S44. The No. 1 servo motor 11 controls the No. 1 feeding mechanical gripper 10 to place the processed tube on the lifting material support mechanism 153 at the same time. The No. 1 servo motor 11 drives the No. 1 feeding mechanical gripper 10 to quickly return to the top of the transmission mechanism, and moves the tube to be processed from the slot of the tube transmission mechanism 8 to the lifting material support mechanism 153.
[0099] In this embodiment, the groove that fits against the outer wall of the towel rack tube is called the contour groove. When both ends of the tube to be processed are placed on the pre-installed spring block 207, after the sensing probe senses the material in place, the push cylinder 201 is activated to extend the mold core 203 into both ends of the tube to be processed. The punching forming cylinder 204 drives the upper horizontal block 205 to punch and form downwards. After the punching forming cylinder 204 drives the upper horizontal block 205 to return to its original position, the pre-installed spring block 207 pushes out the tube to be processed. The push cylinder 201 drives the mold cores 203 at both ends to return to their original position. The first feeding ejection cylinder 110 drives the feeding slot plate 109 to lift upwards, lifting the tube to be processed out of the contour groove of the pre-installed fixing plate 107. The first feeding servo motor 108 drives the feeding slot plate 109 and the processed tube to move forward. During continuous operation, the feeding slot plate 109 can... Simultaneously moving multiple tubes to be processed forward enables automatic feeding and punching operations. When the tube to be processed is placed in the contour groove on the end face of the pre-installed fixing plate 606, the sensor probe detects that the tube has reached its position and activates the second feeding ejector cylinder 609 to lift the feeding plate 607 upward, lifting the tube out of the contour groove in the pre-installed fixing plate 606. The second feeding servo motor 608 drives the feeding plate 607 and the tube to be processed forward, stopping when they reach the top of the next contour groove in the pre-installed fixing plate 606. The second feeding ejector cylinder 609 then retracts the feeding plate 607, placing the tube to be processed back into the contour groove of the pre-installed fixing plate 606. The second feeding servo motor 608 then drives the feeding plate 607 back to the starting position, realizing the automatic feeding process of the tube to be processed.
[0100] When the tube to be processed is fed into the contouring groove of the pre-installed fixing plate 606, the bottom sensor probe senses that the tube to be processed is placed in the contouring groove. The control system starts the assembly cylinder 603 in the blocking assembly mechanism 6 and simultaneously squeezes the blocking seat in the mold cavity of the horizontal seat 604 to both ends of the tube to be processed to realize the automatic assembly process. After the assembly cylinder 603 is released, the second feeding ejection cylinder 609 drives the feeding plate 607 to lift upward, lifting the tube to be processed out of the contouring groove of the pre-installed fixing plate 606. The second feeding servo motor 608 drives the feeding plate 607 and the processed tube to move to the next contouring groove of the pre-installed fixing plate 606.
[0101] When the tube to be processed is sent to the contouring groove on the pre-installed fixing plate 606, the lower sensing probe senses that the material is in place. The feeding mechanical gripper 7 moves the feeding mechanical gripper 7 to the bottom of the slot. The lifting cylinder 701 pushes out and raises the contouring gripper 302 to the tube to be processed. The clamping cylinder 703 starts to retract, driving the contouring gripper 302 to clamp the tube to be processed and send the tube to the pipe fitting transmission mechanism 8.
[0102] The pipe fitting transmission mechanism 8 has a start-up sensor 802 and a limit sensor 804 at its front and end points to control the start-up of the transmission motor assembly 805. The start-up sensor 802 is located at the first contouring slot 801 of the pipe fitting transmission mechanism 8. When it senses that the pipe to be processed is inserted into the first contouring slot 801, the pipe transmission motor assembly 805 starts, and the transmission shaft drives the transmission chain 803 to move, moving the pipe to be processed forward one fixed slot position. This action is repeated. When the pipe to be processed is moved to the end limit sensor 804, the transmission motor assembly 805 stops working, waiting for the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to pick up the part. The first servo motor 11 drives the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to move above the pipe to be processed, extending one of its grippers to remove the pipe to be processed from the end slot of the transmission mechanism. When the limit sensor 804 does not sense a pipe to be processed in the end slot, the transmission motor assembly 805 restarts. The transmission chain 803 drives the tubes to be processed in the previous slot to move down one slot each. When the limit sensor 804 at the end senses the tubes to be processed, the first servo motor 11 drives the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to move above the tubes to be processed, and takes out the tubes to be processed placed in the slot at the end of the tube transmission mechanism 8. When the tubes to be processed are taken out, the first servo motor 11 quickly lifts the tubes to be processed and moves them upward. When they reach the set height, the first servo motor 11 starts and moves the two tubes to be processed on the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to above the laser welding frame 15. The lifting and supporting mechanism 153 extends upward, and the first servo motor 11 controls the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to place the processed tubes on the lifting and supporting mechanism 153 at the same time. The first servo motor 11 drives the first feeding mechanical gripper 10 to quickly return to the top of the transmission mechanism, and moves the tubes to be processed from the slot in the tube transmission mechanism 8 to the lifting and supporting mechanism 153.

[0105] The specific steps for welding the plug to the towel rack tube and collecting the material include:
[0106] S51. After the sensing device detects that the tube to be processed is in place, the four laser head assemblies 151 and the rotating chuck assembly 152 at both ends of the laser welding frame 15 move towards the middle at the same time, so that the two ends of the tube to be processed are inserted into the tube conforming chuck of the rotating chuck assembly 152.
[0107] S52. After the rotating chuck assembly 152 fixes the tube to be processed, the laser head assembly 151 quickly moves to the end of the tube to be processed and begins welding along the end face of the tube. The rotating chuck assembly 152 and the laser head can rotate synchronously to ensure that the laser head and the tube end maintain an effective welding distance; the four ends of the two tubes to be processed are welded simultaneously.
[0108] S53. After the laser welding of the pipe end plug is completed, the lifting and supporting mechanism 153 extends to lift the welded pipe to be processed, the rotating chuck is released, and the laser head assembly 151 and the rotating chuck assembly 152 move to both sides at the same time until the rotating chuck assembly 152 completely exits from both ends of the pipe to be processed. The second servo motor 13 starts, driving the second feeding mechanical gripper 12 to clamp the two pipes to be processed on the lifting and supporting mechanism 153 at the same time, and rise and stabilize onto the receiving tray on the automatic receiving mechanism 16.
[0109] In this embodiment, the plugs used with the tubes to be processed are simultaneously placed in batches into the feeding plug storage vibratory plate 4. After the feeding plug storage vibratory plate 4 is started, the plugs in the plate are sequentially and in the same direction along the edge of the vibratory plate and fed out into the plug guide groove 507. The front end of the plug guide groove 507 is provided with a notch to facilitate the clamping gripper 503 to clamp the material. The second lifting cylinder 501 extends and drives the clamping gripper 503 to the notch of the plug guide groove 507. After the second clamping cylinder 502 is started, it drives the clamping gripper 503 to clamp the plug. After the seat is clamped, the second lifting cylinder 501 drives the clamping gripper 503 to retract. The gripper pushes the cylinder 506 to push the second lifting cylinder 501 forward to above the storage plate 101. The second lifting cylinder 501 extends and sends the block seat into the storage plate 101. The second clamping cylinder 502 releases, and the block seat falls into the bottom along the block seat storage groove 610. Then, the block seat conveying cylinder 612 pushes the block seat pusher block 611 to send the block seat into the mold cavity of the horizontal seat 604 for assembly, realizing the automatic feeding process of the block seat.
