Detailed Implementation

[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 8 The present invention provides an automatic welding trolley for marine air cylinders, including a welding trolley body 1, the top of which is used for welding air cylinders. The welding trolley body 1 is designed as a cuboid structure, and multiple brackets 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the welding trolley body 1. Each of the multiple brackets 2 is provided with a roller 3 at its bottom.

[0034] The fixing mechanism is located on the top of the welding vehicle body 1. The fixing mechanism is used to fix, clamp and position the air cylinder.

[0035] The welding mechanism is located on both sides of the top of the welding vehicle body 1 and on both sides of the fixing mechanism. The welding mechanism is used to weld the air cylinder and the outrigger.

[0036] To achieve the purpose of fixing and clamping, this device adopts the following technical solution: The fixing mechanism includes two movable plates 4, which are respectively hinged to the top of the welding vehicle body 1. A horizontal plate 5 is connected to the top of each of the two movable plates 4, and the horizontal plate 5 is movably connected to the movable plates 4 via a damping hinge. A clamping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner end of each of the two horizontal plates 5. The two clamping plates 6 are used to clamp and fix the air cylinder. Two connecting boxes 7 are fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two clamping plates 6. A rotating rod 8 is provided on the outer side of each of the movable plates 4. The two rotating rods 8 are respectively movably connected to the two movable plates 4 via rolling bearings. The two rotating rods 8 are respectively embedded inside multiple connecting boxes 7 and respectively movably connected to multiple movable plates 4 via rolling bearings. Each of the two connecting boxes 7 contains... There are take-up drums 9, and multiple take-up drums 9 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of two rotating rods 8. Two movable plates 4 are each equipped with a first motor 10. The two first motors 10 are fixedly connected to one end of the two rotating rods 8. The top of the welding vehicle body 1 is equipped with a lifting plate 11. Positioning blocks 35 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the lifting plate 11. Pull ropes 36 are fixedly connected to the outer ends of multiple positioning blocks 35. Multiple pull ropes 36 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of multiple take-up drums 9. Two electric push rods 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the welding vehicle body 1. Moving plates 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the two electric push rods 12. Limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the two moving plates 13. Limiting grooves 15 are opened on the outer side of the two movable plates 4. The two limiting blocks 14 are matched with multiple limiting grooves 15 respectively.

[0037] The user activates two electric push rods 12, which extend and move the limiting block 14 upward. The movement of the limiting block 14 causes the movable plate 4 to rotate, thereby moving the two clamping plates 6 towards the center. This clamps the air bottle and fixes it in place. The user manually positions the two support legs at the bottom of the air bottle and activates two first motors 10. The first motors 10 rotate the rotating rod 8 and the winding drum 9. The rotation of the winding drum 9 causes multiple pull ropes 36 to retract. The retraction of the multiple pull ropes 36 causes the lifting plate 11 to move upward. The lifting plate 11 moves upward and fixes the two support legs in contact, thus fixing the support legs in a welded state.

[0038] To achieve the welding objective, this device employs the following technical solution: The welding mechanism includes a second motor 16, which is located on the top of the welding vehicle body 1. A first rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 16. A second rotating shaft 18 is located on the top of the welding vehicle body 1. Threaded rods 19 are fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of both the first and second rotating shafts 17 and 18. Sleeves 20 are sleeved on the outer sides of both threaded rods 19, and the threaded rods 19 and sleeves 20 are connected by threads. Telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the top of both sleeves 20, and fixed plates 22 are fixedly connected to the top ends of both telescopic rods 21. Welding guns 23 are fixedly embedded inside both fixed plates 22. A first sprocket 24 and a second sprocket 25 are located on the top of the welding vehicle body 1. The first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer sides of the first rotating shaft 17 and the second rotating shaft 18. A chain 26 is sleeved on the outer sides of the first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25, and the first sprocket 24 and the second sprocket 25 are driven by the chain 26. The welding vehicle body 1 is connected to a plurality of support plates 27 fixedly connected to the top. The plurality of support plates 27 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft 17 and the second rotating shaft 18. The first rotating shaft 17 and the second rotating shaft 18 are movably connected to the support plates 27 through rolling bearings. The outside of the plurality of support plates 27 are fixedly connected to positioning plates 28. A sliding rod 29 is fixedly connected between two adjacent positioning plates 28. A slider 30 is sleeved on the outside of the two sliding rods 29. The two sliders 30 are fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 20. The outside of the two welding guns 23 are provided with baffles 31. The inside of the two baffles 31 are fixedly connected to two springs 32. The plurality of springs 32 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the two welding guns 23. The plurality of springs 32 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two fixed plates 22. The outside of the two welding guns 23 are fixedly sleeved with limiting rings 33. The top of the welding vehicle body 1 is fixedly connected to two limiting frames 34. The two limiting rings 33 are respectively embedded in the two limiting frames 34 and are respectively matched with the two limiting frames 34.

[0039] After the clamping is fixed, the second motor 16 is started. The second motor 16 drives the first rotating shaft 17 and the first sprocket 24 to rotate. The rotation of the first sprocket 24 drives the second sprocket 25 and the second rotating shaft 18 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 17 and the second rotating shaft 18 drives the two threaded rods 19 to rotate. The rotation of the two threaded rods 19 drives the two sleeves 20 and the telescopic rod 21 to move. The movement of the telescopic rod 21 drives the two fixed plates 22 and the welding gun 23 to move. The welding gun 23 is started to work. The welding gun 23 welds the connection between the outrigger and the air bottle. At the same time, the movement of the welding gun 23 drives the limiting ring 33 to move inside the limiting frame 34. The limiting frame 34 and the limiting ring 33 limit the movement of the welding gun 23, thereby fixing the movement trajectory of the welding gun 23. In addition, this device is equipped with a baffle 31 and a spring 32 to squeeze the two welding guns 23, so that the welding guns 23 can always be in close contact with the connection between the outrigger and the air bottle, thereby improving the welding effect and preventing the weld from breaking.

[0040] The usage process of this invention is as follows: The user activates two electric push rods 12, which extend and move the limiting block 14 upwards. The movement of the limiting block 14 causes the movable plate 4 to rotate, thereby moving the two clamping plates 6 towards the center. This clamps and secures the air bottle. The user manually positions the two support legs at the bottom of the air bottle and activates two first motors 10. The first motors 10 drive the rotating rod 8 and the winding drum 9 to rotate. The rotation of the winding drum 9 causes multiple pull ropes 36 to retract, which in turn moves the lifting plate 11 upwards. The lifting plate 11 then fixes and abuts the two support legs, securing them in a welded state. After clamping, the user activates a second motor 16, which drives the first rotating shaft 17 and the first sprocket 24 to rotate. The rotation of the first sprocket 24 then drives the second sprocket... The rotation of wheel 25 and second shaft 18 causes the rotation of first shaft 17 and second shaft 18 to drive the rotation of two threaded rods 19. The rotation of the two threaded rods 19 causes the movement of two sleeves 20 and telescopic rod 21. The movement of telescopic rod 21 causes the movement of two fixed plates 22 and welding gun 23, starting the welding gun 23 to work. The welding gun 23 welds the connection between the outrigger and the air cylinder. At the same time, as the welding gun 23 moves, it drives the limiting ring 33 to move inside the limiting frame 34. The limiting frame 34 and the limiting ring 33 limit the movement of the welding gun 23, thereby fixing the movement trajectory of the welding gun 23. In addition, this device is equipped with baffle 31 and spring 32 and other structures to squeeze the two welding guns 23, so that the welding guns 23 can always be in close contact with the connection between the outrigger and the air cylinder, thereby improving the welding effect and preventing the weld from breaking.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the present invention or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
