[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The present invention provides an intelligent welding robot for heat exchanger production. By setting the working parameters of the rotating seat, the mechanical arm and the operating arm on the operating screen, during the welding process, the rotating shaft is rotated by the rotation of the operating arm, so that the force storage member is operated by the rotation of the rotating shaft, and the sliding plate is moved and force is stored by the action of the force storage member. After the force is fully stored, the sliding plate slides to the end position. After the sliding plate slides to the end position, the limit of the rotating disk will be released. At the same time, after the force is fully stored, the mechanical arm will stop operating.

A connecting shaft 12 is connected, one end of the connecting shaft 12 extends into the operating arm 8 and is rotatably connected to the operating arm 8, a limiting member 14 is installed between the fixed disk 10 and the rotating disk 11, and the end of the connecting shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the first flat gear 13, the replacement component 9 is used to store force when the rotating shaft 6 rotates, and through the action of the stored force, the first flat gear 13 rotates to drive the rotating disk 11 to rotate, thereby realizing the position exchange of the two groups of welding heads 2; the insulation component 15, the insulation component 15 includes an insulation box 16 sleeved on the outside of the welding head 2, the insulation component 15 is used to insulate the replaced welding head 2 to avoid excessive temperature loss resulting in a long heating time after switching to the working state later, affecting the work efficiency. The exchange assembly 9 includes a sliding plate 17 slidably connected to the operating arm 8, a first rack 18 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 17, a one-way rotating gear 19 is meshed on the outer side of the first rack 18, and a force storage member 20 for storing force is also connected to the sliding plate 17, and the axis of the one-way rotating gear 19 is fixedly connected to a rotating column 21 rotatably connected to the operating arm 8, the end of the rotating column 21 is fixedly connected to a first transmission wheel 22, the outer side surface of the first transmission wheel 22 is transmission-connected to a first belt 23, one end of the first belt 23 is transmission-connected to a second transmission wheel 24, the axis of the second transmission wheel 24 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 25 extending to the inside of the operating arm 8, the connecting column 25 is rotationally connected to the operating arm 8, and the end is connected to a transmission member 26 connected to the first flat gear 13.
[0035] In this solution, when welding the heat exchanger, the operating data of the rotating seat 4, the mechanical arm 5 and the operating arm 8 are controlled by the operating screen 3, and the heat exchanger is automatically welded by the mutual cooperation of the mechanical arm 5 and the operating arm 8. During the operation, the operating arm 8 will drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate through the rotating block 7, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 causes the force storage member 20 to operate. After the force storage member 20 makes the stored force reach the preset value, the limit member 14 will release the limit on the rotating disk 11 and will release the fully stored force, thereby causing the first rack 18 to move. Therefore, the movement of the first rack 18 drives the one-way rotating gear 19 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission wheel 22 to rotate, and the second transmission wheel 24 is driven to rotate through the first belt 23, and the connecting column 25 is driven to rotate through the rotation of the second transmission wheel 24, and then the rotating disk 11 is rotated 180 degrees through the action of the transmission member 26, so that the two groups of welding heads 2 are exchanged.
[0036] It is worth noting that: the diameter of the first transmission wheel 22 in this solution is smaller than the diameter of the second transmission wheel 24, so when the first transmission wheel 22 rotates, the second transmission wheel 24 slows down and rotates slowly, and the first flat gear 13 drives the connecting shaft 12 to rotate slowly through the action of the transmission member 26, thereby driving the rotating disk 11 to rotate slowly by 180 degrees.
[0037] The transmission member 26 includes a connecting rod 28 fixedly connected to the first flat gear 13, the outer side of the connecting rod 28 is rotatably connected to a fixing seat 29 fixedly connected to the operating arm 8, and the end of the connecting rod 28 away from the first flat gear 13 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 30, and the outer side of the first bevel gear 30 is meshed with a second bevel gear 31 fixedly connected to the connecting column 25.
[0038] In this solution, when the connecting column 25 rotates, the second bevel gear 31 will be driven to rotate. Therefore, the rotation of the second bevel gear 31 drives the first bevel gear 30 to rotate, and further drives the first flat gear 13 to rotate.
[0039] The one-way rotating gear 19 includes a connecting disk 32 fixedly connected to the rotating column 21, and a plurality of groups of movable shafts 33 arranged in a circle are rotatably connected to the connecting disk 32. The movable shaft 33 is fixedly connected to a first torsion spring 35 fixedly connected to the connecting disk 32, and a connecting frame 34 is fixedly connected to the movable shaft 33, and a tooth block 36 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 34. The plurality of groups of tooth blocks 36 are all meshedly connected to the first rack 18, and a limiting column 37 is fixedly connected to the connecting disk 32 on one side of the connecting frame 34.
[0040] In the present solution, during the operation of the force storage member 20, the sliding plate 17 will be driven to move backward, thereby driving the first rack 18 to move backward. During this process, the movement of the first rack 18 will push the tooth block 36 and the connecting frame 34 to rotate along the movable shaft 33, and thus this process will not drive the connecting disk 32 to rotate, and thus the rotating column 21 will not rotate. During the force storage process, the rotating disk 11 will not rotate. After full force is stored, the sliding plate 17 is reset to drive the first rack 18 to move in the opposite direction and reset. At this time, due to the action of the limiting column 37, the first rack 18 cannot push the tooth block 36 and the connecting frame 34 to rotate along the movable shaft 33, and then due to the meshing effect, the tooth block 36 is driven to rotate along the axis of the connecting disk 32, thereby driving the connecting disk 32 to rotate, and then driving the rotating column 21 to rotate. This process will drive the rotating disk 11 to rotate.
[0041] The force storage member 20 includes a rotating piece 38 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6, the rotating piece 38 is rotatably connected to the operating arm 8, and the rotating piece 38 is rotatably connected to the operating arm 8, and a third transmission wheel 39 is fixedly connected to the rotating piece 38, the outer side surface of the third transmission wheel 39 is transmission-connected to the second belt 40, one end of the second belt 40 is transmission-connected to the third transmission wheel 39, the axis of the third transmission wheel 39 is connected to a sliding member 42 connected to the sliding plate 17, the sliding member 42 is used to drive the sliding plate 17 to slide and thus store force, and the rotating piece 38 is also rotatably connected to a ratchet gear 43 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6, the outer side of the ratchet gear 43 is meshed with a pawl 44, the pawl 44 is fixedly connected to a pin shaft 45 rotatably connected to the rotating piece 38, and the pin shaft 45 is fixedly connected to a second torsion spring 46 fixedly connected to the rotating piece 38. The sliding member 42 includes a second rack 47 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 17, and a tension member 48 connected to the operating arm 8 is installed on the sliding plate 17, and a second flat gear 49 rotatably connected to the operating arm 8 is meshed on the outer side of the second rack 47, and a transmission shaft 50 fixedly connected to the fourth transmission wheel 41 is fixedly connected to the axis of the second flat gear 49, and the transmission shaft 50 is rotatably connected to the operating arm 8. The tension member 48 includes a fixed block 52 fixedly connected to the sliding plate 17, and a tension spring 53 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 52, and one end of the tension spring 53 is fixedly connected to a fixed sheet 54 fixedly connected to the operating arm 8.
[0042] In this solution, the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 drives the ratchet gear 43 to rotate, so the cooperation of the ratchet gear 43 and the pawl 44 makes the rotating plate 38 rotate unidirectionally, thereby driving the third transmission wheel 39 to rotate, and thus driving the fourth transmission wheel 41 to rotate through the second belt 40. During the rotation of the fourth transmission wheel 41, the second rack 47 will be driven to move, and then the sliding plate 17 will be driven to move backward to accumulate force, and the tension spring 53 is in a stretched state during the backward movement of the sliding plate 17, so it is convenient to release the tension through the action of the tension spring 53 after full force is accumulated.
[0043] In this solution, the one-way rotation of the ratchet gear 43 and the pawl 44 is coordinated to reduce the number of times the second flat gear 49 is driven to rotate, so that the power storage time is prolonged, and the welding head 2 will not be replaced in a very short time, that is, the frequent replacement of the welding head 2 will not affect the work efficiency.
[0044] The limiting member 14 includes a sliding ring 55 slidably connected to the operating arm 8, and four groups of symmetrically arranged limiting rods 56 are fixedly connected to the sliding ring 55. The limiting rods 56 are plugged into the fixed disk 10 and the rotating disk 11, and a limiting groove 57 adapted to the limiting rods 56 is opened between the fixed disk 10 and the rotating disk 11, and the end of the limiting rod 56 is conical, and a first spring 58 is fixedly connected to the sliding ring 55, one end of the first spring 58 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 59 fixedly connected to the operating arm 8, and a connecting block 60 is fixedly connected to the sliding ring 55, and a pull rod 61 extending to the inside of the operating arm 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 60, and the pull rod 61 is slidably connected to the operating arm 8, the fixing plate 54 and the fixing block 52, and the end of the pull rod 61 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 62.
[0045] In this solution, during the limiting process, the limiting rod 56 is inserted into the limiting groove 57, thereby limiting the rotating disk 11. After full force is accumulated, the pull rod 61 is driven to slide through the cooperation between the fixed block 52 and the limiting block 62, thereby driving the sliding ring 55 to move, thereby driving the limiting rod 56 away from the limiting groove 57, thereby releasing the limiting of the rotating disk 11.
[0046] In this solution, during the process of releasing the stored force, the limit block 62 loses the squeezing force of the fixed block 52. At this time, the sliding ring 55 and the limit rod 56 are reset and moved through the action of the first spring 58. However, during the rotation of the rotating disk 11, the limit rod 56 cannot be inserted into the limit groove 57. When the rotating disk 11 rotates 180 degrees, the limit groove 57 corresponds to the limit rod 56. At this time, the limit rod 56 enters the limit groove 57 to limit the rotating disk 11.
[0047] The heat preservation assembly 15 includes a support frame 63 fixedly connected to the operating arm 8, a sliding column 64 is slidably connected to the support frame 63, a support sheet 68 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 64, a second spring 69 fixedly connected to the support frame 63 is fixedly connected to the support sheet 68, a support rod 66 fixedly connected to the heat preservation box 16 is also fixedly connected to the sliding column 64, and a pusher 67 for pushing the sliding column 64 upward is connected to the bottom end of the sliding column 64. The pusher 67 includes a first inclined block 70 fixedly connected to the sliding column 64, the first inclined block 70 is slidably connected to the support frame 63, and a second inclined block 71 is provided on the hypotenuse of the first inclined block 70, and a pusher 72 fixedly connected to the sliding ring 55 is fixedly connected to the second inclined block 71.
[0048] In this scheme, in the initial state, the insulation box 16 is sleeved on the outside of the welding head 2. After full force is stored, the push rod 72 is driven to move by the movement of the sliding ring 55, thereby driving the second inclined block 71 to move, thereby driving the first inclined block 70 to move upward, and then the sliding column 64 moves upward to drive the support rod 66 to move upward, thereby driving the insulation box 16 to move upward, so that the welding head is exposed, thereby not affecting its replacement, and in the process of releasing the stored force, the push rod 72 is reset by the resetting of the sliding ring 55, thereby resetting the second inclined block 71, and the first inclined block 70 is reset by the action of the second spring 69, thereby causing the sliding column 64 to drive the support rod 66 to reset, and then the insulation box 16 is reset to insulate the replaced welding head 2.
[0049] Working principle: When welding the heat exchanger, the operating data of the rotating seat 4, the mechanical arm 5 and the operating arm 8 are controlled by the operating screen 3, and the heat exchanger is automatically welded through the cooperation of the mechanical arm 5 and the operating arm 8. During the operation, the operating arm 8 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate through the rotating block 7, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 6 drives the ratchet gear 43 to rotate. Therefore, the cooperation of the ratchet gear 43 and the pawl 44 makes the rotating piece 38 rotate unidirectionally, thereby driving the third transmission wheel 39 to rotate, and driving the fourth transmission wheel 41 to rotate through the second belt 40. During the rotation of the fourth transmission wheel 41, the second flat gear 49 will be driven to rotate through the transmission shaft 50, thereby driving the second rack 47 to move, and then driving the sliding plate 17 to move backward to accumulate force, and during the backward movement of the sliding plate 17, the tension spring 53 is in a stretched state. During the accumulation of force, the fixed block 52 Gradually approaching the limit block 62, after about to reach the preset force storage value, the fixed block 52 contacts the limit block 62, and the force storage sliding plate 17 continues to move at this time, so that the fixed block 52 drives the limit block 62 to move, so the pull rod 61 is pulled to move by the movement of the limit block 62, so the pull rod 61 pulls the sliding ring 55 to move, so that the first spring 58 is compressed, and the limit rod 56 is driven to move by the movement of the sliding ring 55, so as to drive the limit rod 56 away from the limit groove 57, so as to release the limit on the rotating disk 11, and the push rod 72 is driven to move by the movement of the sliding ring 55, so as to drive the second inclined block 71 to move, so as to drive the first inclined block 70 to move upward, and then the sliding column 64 moves upward to drive the support rod 66 to move upward, so as to drive the insulation box 16 to move upward, so that the welding machine head is exposed, so as not to affect its replacement, and the force storage is completed at this time and the force storage is about to be released.
[0050] In the above process, since the movement of the sliding plate 17 will also drive the movement of the first rack 18, the movement of the first rack 18 in this process will push the tooth block 36 and the connecting frame 34 to rotate along the movable shaft 33, and thus this process will not drive the connecting disk 32 to rotate, and thus the rotating column 21 will not rotate, and thus the rotating disk 11 will not rotate during the process of accumulating force.
[0051] After the stored force reaches the preset value, the operating arm 8 and the mechanical arm 5 stop running. At this time, the sliding plate 17 is reset by the action of the tension spring 53, thereby driving the first rack 18 to reset and move. At this time, due to the action of the limiting column 37, the first rack 18 cannot push the tooth block 36 and the connecting frame 34 to rotate along the movable shaft 33, and then at this time, due to the meshing effect, the tooth block 36 is driven to rotate along the axis of the connecting plate 32, thereby driving the connecting plate 32 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating column 21 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission wheel 22 to rotate, and then driving the second transmission wheel 24 to rotate through the first belt 23, and the rotation of the second transmission wheel 24 drives the connecting column 25 to rotate. When the connecting column 25 rotates, it will drive the second bevel gear 31 to rotate. Therefore, the rotation of the second bevel gear 31 drives the first bevel gear 30 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 28 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 11 to rotate 180 degrees. It is worth noting that: the diameter of the first transmission wheel 22 in this scheme is smaller than The diameter of the second transmission wheel 24 is such that the first transmission wheel 22 rotates and slowly drives the second transmission wheel 24 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the rotating disk 11 slowly rotates 180 degrees. At this time, the two sets of welding heads 2 are replaced. In this process, the sliding plate 17 moves and resets, so that the limit block 62 loses the squeezing force of the fixed block 52 on it. At this time, the sliding ring 55 and the limit rod 56 are reset and moved by the action of the first spring 58. However, during the rotation of the rotating disk 11, the limit rod 56 cannot be inserted into the limit rod 56. In the groove 57, when the rotating disk 11 rotates 180 degrees, the limit groove 57 corresponds to the limit rod 56. At this time, the limit rod 56 enters the limit groove 57 to limit the rotating disk 11. Since the limit rod 56 drives the sliding ring 55 to reset after being reset, the push rod 72 is reset and moved, so the second bevel block 71 is reset, and the first bevel block 70 is reset through the action of the second spring 69, so that the sliding column 64 drives the support rod 66 to reset, and then the insulation box 16 is reset to keep the replaced welding head 2 warm.
