Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shipbuilding technology, specifically to an intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot. Background Technology
[0002] The intelligent crawling device for vertical seam welding of ship hulls is a device used to improve the quality of welds in the shipbuilding process. In shipbuilding, the hull is usually composed of multiple large plates, which need to be connected by welding. For this purpose, an intelligent crawling device for vertical seam welding of ship hulls is set up.
[0003] Existing technologies for using intelligent crawling devices on welding robots may encounter issues such as track breakage and sudden large craters. If the track cannot stop in time, it may be damaged. Furthermore, for tracks used for a long time, wear and aging will occur during use. If emergency stopping is not performed in time, the track movement may become unstable, affecting its normal operation. In addition, when some equipment performs an emergency stop on the track, it is difficult to adjust the angle of the atomizing nozzle and use the atomizing nozzle at the same time. This may result in slow heat dissipation in the welding area, leading to overheating. Moreover, the surface of the welding area often contains dirt, grease, and other substances, making it difficult to ensure the cleanliness and quality of the weld. At the same time, it is difficult to reduce energy loss during the welding process, resulting in low energy utilization.
[0004] Existing technologies make it difficult to detect the curvature of the hull when using intelligent crawling devices for welding robots. During the manufacturing process, the hull may be affected by various factors, such as vibration and changes in stress distribution, causing changes in the hull's curvature. If the hull curvature is not detected in time, the intelligent crawling device for welding robots may have difficulty completing welding work with high quality. Furthermore, some equipment makes it difficult to detect the rotation angle when adjusting the welding angle of the intelligent crawling device for welding robots. This may lead to a deviation between the adjustment angle of the atomizing nozzle and the adjustment angle of the intelligent crawling device for welding robots, affecting the use of the atomizing nozzle.

[0035] The upper and lower parts of the first connecting rod 55 are respectively inserted and fixed to the upper and lower slots of the electromagnetic clutch 56. The bottom of the first connecting rod 55 at the bottom of the dual-shaft motor 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second gear tooth plate 57. The left end of the second gear tooth plate 57 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped rod 58, which facilitates the movement of the L-shaped rod 58.
[0036] A sliding plate 59 is fixedly connected to the left end of the L-shaped rod 58. The sliding plate 59 passes through the limiting block 510 and is slidably connected to its interior. A movable plate 511 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sliding plate 59. The movable plate 511 facilitates the movement of the connecting seat 512.

[0040] The working principle of the intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0041] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.
[0042] Second, when using this device, the welding robot 4 is adsorbed onto the surface of the ship hull by the special adsorption mechanism inside the crawling device 1. Then, the welding robot 4 continuously adjusts the angle through the turntable 3. After the adjustment is completed, the welding robot 4 begins to perform the welding operation and performs the welding task on the vertical seam of the ship hull.
[0043] Third, when an emergency stop is required on the track of the crawler device 1, the dual-axis motor 52 and the electromagnetic clutch 56 at the bottom of the dual-axis motor 52 are activated. The dual-axis motor 52 drives the first connecting rod 55 at the bottom to rotate. The first connecting rod 55 drives the gear inside the second gear tooth plate 57 to rotate. The gear drives the tooth plate to move to the right. The tooth plate drives the L-shaped rod 58 to move to the right. The L-shaped rod 58 drives the sliding plate 59 to move to the right within the limit block 510. The sliding plate 59 drives the moving plate 511 to move to the right. The moving plate 511 drives the connecting seat 512 to move to the right. During the movement, the connecting seat 512 drives the third rotating rod 513 to rotate. During the rotation, the third rotating rod 513 drives the fixed block 514 to move downward. The fixed block 514 drives the second connecting rod 515 to move downward. The second connecting rod 515 drives the friction plate 516 to move downward. When the friction plate 516 squeezes the track on the crawler device 1, it increases the friction of the track, causing it to decelerate rapidly and eventually stop, preventing the track from moving unstablely and affecting its normal operation.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] Please see Figure 5 The present invention provides an intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a spraying mechanism 53. The spraying mechanism 53 includes a second fixing plate 531. The upper right side of both ends of the mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 531. The upper right front end of the top of the second fixing plate 531 is rotatably connected to an atomizing nozzle 532. The atomizing nozzle 532 facilitates the atomization and spraying of liquid, and the atomizing nozzle 532 is connected to an external water tank.
[0046] A first gear tooth plate 533 is fixedly connected to the top of the first connecting rod 55 at the top of the dual-axis motor 52. A connecting block 534 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first gear tooth plate 533. The first gear tooth plate 533 facilitates the movement of the connecting block 534.
[0047] A sliding block 535 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting block 534. The outer wall of the sliding block 535 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting plate 536. A first rotating rod 537 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sliding block 535. The sliding block 535 facilitates the movement of the first rotating rod 537 to the right.
[0048] The top of the first rotating rod 537 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 538, the top of the second rotating rod 538 is rotatably connected to the grooved wheel 539, and the top of the grooved wheel 539 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 5310. The grooved wheel 539 facilitates the rotation of the fixed rod 5310.
[0049] A contact rod 5311 is fixedly connected to the top right end of the first rotating rod 537, and an atomizing nozzle 532 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed rod 5310. The contact rod 5311 facilitates the rotation of the grooved wheel 539.
[0050] The contact rod 5311 is intermittently engaged with the inner groove of the grooved wheel 539, the top of the limiting plate 536 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second fixing plate 531, and the connecting block 534 passes through the back of the limiting plate 536 and is slidably connected to its interior.
[0051] In this embodiment:
[0052] When spraying is required on the welding area, the dual-axis motor 52 and the electromagnetic clutch 56 on top of the dual-axis motor 52 are activated. The dual-axis motor 52 drives the top first connecting rod 55 to rotate. The first connecting rod 55 drives the gear inside the first gear plate 533 to rotate. The gear drives the gear plate to move to the right. The gear plate drives the connecting block 534 to move to the right. The connecting block 534 drives the sliding block 535 to move to the right within the limiting plate 536. The sliding block 535 drives the first rotating rod 537 to move to the right. During the movement to the right, the first rotating rod 537 is affected by the rotation of the second rotating rod 538, which drives the contact rod 5311 to move to the right and cause a slight oscillation. Then, the contact rod 5311 drives the groove in the groove wheel 539 through intermittent engagement with the groove. The wheel 539 rotates, which in turn drives the fixed rod 5310 to rotate. The fixed rod 5310 then drives the atomizing nozzle 532 to rotate. The rotation angle of the welding robot 4 is then detected by the angle detection mechanism 7. When the rotation angle of the atomizing nozzle 532 is the same as that of the welding robot 4, the dual-axis motor 52 stops working. Liquid is then transported to the atomizing nozzle 532 through an external water tank and sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 532. This allows the atomizing nozzle 532 to quickly dissipate the heat from the welding area, preventing overheating. It also removes dirt, grease, and other substances from the surface of the welding area, ensuring the cleanliness and quality of the welding. At the same time, the atomizing nozzle 532 can also reduce energy loss during the welding process and improve energy utilization.
[0053] Example 3:
[0054] Please see Figure 6 The present invention provides an intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: an arc detection mechanism 6. The arc detection mechanism 6 includes a third fixing plate 61. The right end of the mounting box 2 is fixedly connected to the third fixing plate 61. The top of the third fixing plate 61 is fixedly connected to a current output device 62. The third fixing plate 61 facilitates the fixed installation of the current output device 62.
[0055] The first industrial camera 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom right end of the third fixing plate 61, and the mounting rod 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the third fixing plate 61. The mounting rod 64 facilitates the fixed installation of the electromagnetic rod 65.
[0056] An electromagnetic rod 65 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting rod 64. A rotating roller 66 is magnetically attracted to the outer wall of the electromagnetic rod 65. An annular protrusion 67 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating roller 66. The outer wall of the annular protrusion 67 is slidably connected to the inner groove of the sliding roller 68. A moving block 69 is fixedly connected to the right end of the sliding roller 68. The annular protrusion 67 facilitates the rotation of the rotating roller 66.
[0057] A movable rod 610 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding roller 68. A first ball bearing 611 is rolled inside the bottom of the movable rod 610. A movable block 69 passes through the right end of the mounting rod 64 and is slidably connected to its interior. The movable rod 610 facilitates the movement of the sliding roller 68.
[0058] The outer wall of the mounting rod 64 is coated with scale lines. The first industrial camera 63 is electrically connected to the external display screen. The electromagnetic rod 65 is electrically connected to the current output device 62. The top of the rotating roller 66 is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the mounting rod 64.
[0059] In this embodiment:
[0060] When the curvature of the hull needs to be detected, the current output device 62 stops the operation of the electromagnetic rod 65. Then, the first ball bearing 611 rolls and moves upward due to the curvature of the hull. The first ball bearing 611 drives the moving rod 610 to move upward, the moving rod 610 drives the sliding roller 68 to move upward, and the sliding roller 68 drives the moving block 69 to move upward. Then, the first industrial camera 63 takes pictures of the moving distance of the moving block 69 through the scale lines on the mounting rod 64 and transmits the electrical signal to an external display screen, allowing the operator to indirectly judge the data information on the display screen. The curvature of the hull is cut off to prevent the welding robot 4 from having difficulty completing the welding work with high quality. During the upward movement of the sliding roller 68, the inner groove of the sliding roller 68 drives the rotating roller 66 to rotate on the outer wall of the electromagnetic rod 65 through the annular protrusion 67. When it is not necessary to detect the curvature of the hull, the current output device 62 drives the electromagnetic rod 65 to work. The electromagnetic rod 65 magnetically attracts the rotating roller 66, so that the rotation angle of the rotating roller 66 is fixed. Through the cooperation between the annular protrusion 67 on the outer wall of the rotating roller 66 and the inner groove of the sliding roller 68, the moving distance of the sliding roller 68 is fixed.
[0061] Example 4:
[0062] Please see Figure 7 The present invention provides an intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment further includes an angle detection mechanism 7. The angle detection mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 71. The mounting frame 71 is fixedly connected to the top left front end of the mounting box 2. The mounting frame 71 facilitates the fixed installation of the display screen 72.

A second industrial camera 73 is fixedly connected to the right end of the top horizontal plate of the mounting bracket 71, and the second industrial camera 73 is electrically connected to the display screen 72. The second industrial camera 73 is convenient for taking pictures of the number of contactes between the empty groove 76 and the second ball 75.
[0064] A damping rod 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top horizontal plate of the mounting bracket 71. A second ball bearing 75 is rolled inside the bottom of the damping rod 74. Eight sets of empty slots 76 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the turntable 3.
[0065] In this embodiment:
[0066] When the rotation angle of turntable 3 needs to be detected, turntable 3 drives the empty groove 76 to rotate during rotation, so that the empty groove 76 contacts the second ball 75 at the bottom of the damping rod 74. Then, the operator starts the second industrial camera 73, which takes pictures of the number of contacts between the empty groove 76 and the second ball 75 and transmits the picture information to the display screen 72. Then, the operator observes the number of contacts between the empty groove 76 and the second ball 75 through the display screen 72 to indirectly determine the rotation angle of turntable 3, so as to prevent the adjustment angle of the atomizing nozzle 532 from deviating from the adjustment angle of the welding robot 4, which would affect the use of the atomizing nozzle 532.
[0067] This invention provides an improved intelligent crawling device for a ship hull vertical seam welding robot. It includes an emergency stop mechanism 5, which, via a fixed block 514, moves a friction plate 516 downwards, causing the friction plate 516 to press against the tracks of the crawling device 1, increasing the track's friction and thus rapidly decelerating and eventually stopping the device, preventing track instability and ensuring normal operation. A spraying mechanism 53 is also included, which, through the intermittent engagement of a contact rod 5311 and a grooved wheel 539, drives an atomizing nozzle 532 to rotate, spraying liquid atomized from the nozzle. This rapidly dissipates heat from the welding area, preventing overheating, and removes dirt, grease, and other substances from the welding surface, ensuring the cleanliness and quality of the weld. Simultaneously, the atomizing nozzle 532 also... This can reduce energy loss during the welding process and improve energy efficiency. An arc detection mechanism 6 is set up, which moves the moving block 69 upward via a moving rod 610. Then, a first industrial camera 63 captures the moving distance of the moving block 69 and transmits the electrical signal to an external display screen. This allows workers to indirectly judge the arc of the hull through the data on the display screen, preventing the welding robot 4 from having difficulty completing the welding work with high quality. An angle detection mechanism 7 is set up, which captures the number of contacts between the empty groove 76 and the second ball 75 via a second industrial camera 73, indirectly judging the rotation angle of the turntable 3. This prevents deviations between the adjustment angle of the atomizing nozzle 532 and the adjustment angle of the welding robot 4, which would affect the use of the atomizing nozzle 532.
