Description

Technical Field

[0002] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of an oil pan 1 and a plug support 2 in the prior art. The oil pan 1 is mainly used to store engine oil. The engine oil plays various roles such as lubrication, cooling, cleaning, and rust prevention during the operation of the engine. The oil pan 1 ensures the circulation of the engine oil inside the engine and maintains the normal operation of the engine. Generally, a through hole 3 (oil drain port) is provided at the bottom of the oil pan 1, and then the plug support 2 is welded in the through hole 3. The plug support 2 is used to screw a plug, and the oil can be discharged through the plug support 2 when the plug is screwed off.

[0003] In the prior art, when welding the plug support 2 of the oil pan 1, it is generally necessary to position the oil pan 1, and then place the plug support 2 in the oil drain port, and weld a circle of the plug support 2 through a welding device. However, there are mainly two ways to weld the oil pan 1 and the plug support 2 in the prior art. One is manual welding, and the other is welding through a welding device. The former is time-consuming and laborious, and the welding accuracy is poor. Although the latter can achieve a certain degree of automatic welding, after welding, it is necessary to remove the welded oil pan 1, and then fix a new oil pan 1 to continue welding. This involves the loading and unloading of the oil pan 1, the loading and unloading of the plug support 2, the fixing of the oil pan 1, the fixing of the plug support 2, etc. Therefore, the continuity of welding of the existing oil drain port welding device for the oil pan is poor, the degree of automation is low, and when welding, the welding torch maintains a certain angle to perform linear welding around a circle of the plug support, and the welding area is small, so the firmness is not good.

The notch on the limiting ring 7 is larger than the diameter of the roller 33, and the position of the notch is configured such that when the teeth of the second incomplete gear 28 mesh with the first gear 20, the roller 33 just pops out from the notch, and at this time the second rotating shaft 30 is unlocked. When the teeth of the second incomplete gear 28 are separated from the first gear 20, the roller 33 is restricted by the inner wall of the limiting ring 7 to drive the locking arm 36 to lock the second rotating shaft 30 inward. The limiting ring 7 is fixed to the top of the frame 4 through an arc-shaped bracket 12, and the limiting ring 7 is fixed to the outside of the arc-shaped bracket 12. The top of the arc-shaped bracket 12 corresponds to the outer periphery of the bottom of the turntable 6, so that the arc-shaped bracket 12 plays a supporting role for the turntable 6.

[0056] As Figures 4 - 5 , Figures 7 - 8As shown in the figure, a first braking assembly for braking the first rotating shaft 19 is provided at the top of the frame 4. The first braking assembly includes a first disc 15 disposed outside the lower end of the first rotating shaft 19. A first arc-shaped notch 16 corresponding to the profiling positioning seat 22 one by one is provided outside the first disc 15. A first braking disc 21 corresponding to the first disc 15 and in a fan shape is fixedly provided outside the lower end of the vertical shaft 9. The first braking disc 21 is adapted to the first arc-shaped notch 16, and is configured such that after the teeth on the first incomplete gear 10 are separated from the second gear 27, the first braking disc 21 enters one of the corresponding first arc-shaped notches 16, and when the first incomplete gear 10 starts to mesh with the second gear 27, the first braking disc 21 separates from the first arc-shaped notch 16.

[0057] As Figures 7 - 9 shown, a second braking assembly for braking the second rotating shaft 30 is provided below the turntable 6. The second braking assembly includes a second disc 31 fixedly provided outside the lower end of the second rotating shaft 30. Second arc-shaped notches 32 are uniformly provided on the side wall of the second disc 31. A second braking disc 25 corresponding to the second disc 31 is provided outside the lower end of the vertical shaft 9. A braking plate 26 in a fan shape is provided outside the second braking disc 25, and the braking plate 26 is adapted to the second arc-shaped notch 32. A plurality of braking plates 26 are centrally distributed in a fan shape, and a plurality of braking plates 26 are spaced from multiple sets of teeth on the second incomplete gear 28. The braking plate 26 is configured such that after one of the sets of teeth on the second incomplete gear 28 is separated from the first gear 20, the corresponding braking plate 26 enters the second arc-shaped notch 32.

[0058] As Figure 14 shown, in order to brake the third rotating shaft 44, a third disc 42 corresponding to the first braking disc 21 is fixedly provided outside the lower end of the third rotating shaft 44. A third arc-shaped notch 43 adapted to the first braking disc 21 is provided on the side wall of the third disc 42, and is configured such that after the first incomplete gear 10 is separated from the third gear 41, the first braking disc 21 enters the third arc-shaped notch 43, and when the first incomplete gear 10 starts to mesh with the third gear 41, the first braking disc 21 separates from the third arc-shaped notch 43.

[0059] In addition, as Figure 17As shown, in order to adapt to the consumption of the inclined electrode at the lower end of the welding torch 18, an inclined groove 57 with an inclination angle matching that of the electrode at the lower end of the welding torch 18 is provided inside the lower end of the welding torch holder 17. The welding torch 18 is movably connected to the inside of the welding torch holder 17 through a carriage 58. A second guide wheel 59 that is movably engaged with the inclined groove 57 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the carriage 58. An adjusting cylinder 29 for driving the carriage 58 to move up and down is provided at the upper end inside the welding torch holder 17. The end of the output shaft at the lower end of the adjusting cylinder 29 is movably connected to the upper end of the carriage 58. Thus, when the electrode at the lower end of the welding torch 18 is consumed and becomes shorter, it can be adjusted so that the distance between the electrode and the plug seat 2 remains unchanged.

[0060] Working principle: When in use, on the side of the frame 4 away from the welding frame 5, the oil pan 1 can be loaded manually or by a manipulator. The oil pan 1 is inverted onto the profiling positioning seat 22, and the plug support 2 is stacked in the storage cylinder 13. The lowermost plug support 2 will enter the receiving hole 51 through the first dropping hole 50. Control the reduction gear 14 to drive the vertical shaft 9 to rotate. The vertical shaft 9 drives the first brake disc 21, the first incomplete gear 10, the second incomplete gear 28, the second incomplete gear 28, and the guide wheel 24 to rotate synchronously. When the first incomplete gear 10 meshes with the second gear 27, the turntable 6 rotates. When the oil pan 1 passes under the bottom shell 47, the first incomplete gear 10 meshes with the third gear 41. Thus, the third gear 41 drives the cam 45 to rotate through the third rotating shaft 44. The cam 45 pushes the feeding arm 46 to displace. The displacement of the feeding arm 46 drives the plug support 2 to displace and compress the third spring 49. Subsequently, the receiving hole 51 coincides with the second dropping hole 52, and the plug support 2 drops onto the positioning table 38 in the through hole 3 of the oil pan 1. Since the upper end of the positioning table 38 is conical, even when the turntable 6 is rotating, the plug support 2 can still fall on the outer side of the upper end of the positioning table 38. Moreover, the inner diameter of the second dropping hole 52 is relatively large, and the plug support 2 can drop from the second dropping hole 52 during the displacement of the feeding arm 46. Subsequently, the cam 45 separates from the feeding arm 46, and the third spring 49 drives the feeding arm 46 to reset. The subsequent plug support 2 drops into the receiving hole 51 and waits for subsequent feeding. The plug support 2 that falls outside the positioning table 38 will pass under the pressing block 48 as the turntable 6 rotates. Thus, under the restriction of the pressing block 48, the plug support 2 will be pressed into the through hole 3, and the trapezoidal block 39 will be squeezed by the plug support 2. Thereby, the trapezoidal block 39 squeezes the second spring 40, and the reverse force of the second spring 40 maintains the stability of the plug support 2. When the oil pan 1 with the plug support 2 fixed displaces under the welding torch 18, the first incomplete gear 10 separates from the second gear 27, and the first brake disc 21 enters the first arc-shaped notch 16 to brake the first rotating shaft 19. The teeth on the first gear 20 start to mesh with the corresponding first gear 20. When meshing, the first gear 20 drives the oil pan 1 to rotate through the profiling positioning seat 22. The welding torch 18 welds the periphery of the plug support 2. And when the second incomplete gear 28 intermittently meshes with the first gear 20, the first guide wheel 55 is located in the wavy section of the curved groove 53. At this time, under the action of the wave shape, the traction arm 54 will drive the welding torch holder 17 to continuously adjust the angle. Thus, the welding torch holder 17 drives the welding torch 18 to swing quickly and with a small amplitude, which can increase the area of the welding area and increase the firmness between the plug support 2 and the oil pan 1. When the turntable 6 rotates, the first guide wheel 55 is located in the arc-shaped part of the curved groove 53, and the welding torch 18 swings at this time;

[0061] For further principles, in order to achieve the selective fixation of each axis, when the first incomplete gear 10 is separated from the second gear 27, the first brake disc 21 enters the first arc-shaped notch 16 to brake the first rotating shaft 19. When each set of teeth on the second incomplete gear 28 is separated from the first gear 20, the corresponding brake plate 26 enters the second arc-shaped notch 32 to brake the second rotating shaft 30. When the plug seat 2 corresponds to the welding torch 18, the second rotating shaft 30 is unlocked by the locking arm 36. When the turntable 6 starts to rotate after welding, the roller 33 is pressed, and immediately the locking arm 36 locks the second rotating shaft 30. When the third gear 41 rotates one week, the first brake disc 21 enters the third arc-shaped notch 43 to brake the third rotating shaft 44.
