Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of welding tooling, and in particular relates to a photoelectric sensor welding tooling with a defect detection function and a working method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Welding tooling refers to equipment or tools used to support, fix and position workpieces during the welding process. They are designed to ensure the correct position and stability of the workpiece during welding so that the welding process can proceed smoothly and achieve the expected welding quality standards. The same industry is also equipped with fixed-mounted photoelectric sensors for defect detection to ensure welding quality inspection of workpieces after welding.
[0003] In the prior art, photoelectric sensor welding tooling usually adds a fixed photoelectric sensor on the outside of the welding workpiece during use, and performs non-contact defect detection on the welded workpiece after welding is completed. However, since the installation position of the photoelectric sensor is fixed and the angle of the workpiece it faces is limited, the area that can actually complete defect detection is small. For a completely welded workpiece, other angles on the side and the top cannot be simply and quickly covered for detection. The actual defect detection range is small and there are certain detection limitations. It is usually necessary to add more photoelectric sensors or adjust the receiving position, and the defect detection effect of actual welding work is not good.
[0004] In addition, after the photoelectric sensor welding tooling in the prior art completes the clamping and welding of the workpiece, a large amount of welding slag and dust remain and adhere to the actual workpiece surface, which further obstructs and interferes with the detection accuracy of the photoelectric sensor during detection. It is usually necessary to add a cleaning step to clean the surface of the workpiece after welding to avoid residue interference with detection. However, the cleaning operation of the workpiece usually requires external cleaning equipment, and the angle and direction are constantly changed to clean the outer side and top surface of the workpiece. The actual thorough cleaning operation is rather cumbersome and the use effect is not good. Summary of the invention

[0017] A working method of a photoelectric sensor welding tool with defect detection function includes the following working steps:
[0018] Step 1: Place the workpiece to be welded on the clamping seat and clamp the workpiece with the clamping parts on both sides, and operate the external robot arm to drive the welding head to perform welding;
[0019] Step 2: After welding, start the power unit and drive the meshing rotating assembly to rotate, so that the curved telescopic part and the composite detection part rotate synchronously, start the photoelectric sensor and fan in the composite detection part, and the fan rotates and sprays the air through the air jet and blows toward the surface of the welded workpiece;
[0020] Step 3: As the rotating assembly rotates, the air supply assembly is started, and the air pump inputs gas into the distribution assembly.

The jet assembly blows along the top surface of the clamping seat to blow out welding impurities and dust, completing comprehensive inspection and cleaning.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. The present invention utilizes a rotating component to drive the rotation of the curved telescopic part, and cooperates with the gas distribution of the distribution component to respectively realize ventilation and exhaust inside the curved telescopic part during the rotation process. When the gas is introduced, the arc rod in the curved telescopic part drives the composite detection part to move from bottom to top along the curved trajectory, and gradually moves from the bottom of the side of the workpiece to the top, so as to perform a comprehensive inspection of the side and top of the workpiece. In addition, in cooperation with the composite detection part in a synchronous rotating state, the gap exhaust moves down and resets during the rotation process, so that the arc trajectory in the rotating state is formed on the outside of the workpiece. The ups and downs of the arc trajectory can be realized on the outside of the workpiece to realize a comprehensive inspection of the outer side and top surface of the workpiece after welding, which greatly improves the scope of defect detection after welding, expands the actual detection range, has a fast speed, and has a good effect, thereby improving the quality of defect detection after final welding.
[0024] 2. The present invention utilizes the rotating component to rotate outside the distribution component again and intermittently introduces gas into the curved telescopic part, so that the curved telescopic part drives the composite detection part to maintain a rotating state and intermittently move up and down along an arc trajectory, thereby driving the fan to intermittently move up and down in a rotating state, thereby achieving a comprehensive purging treatment of the outer side and top surfaces of the workpiece after welding, avoiding the adhesion of welding debris and dust residues at the defect position, and improving the defect detection effect of the photoelectric sensor on the workpiece after welding by improving the cleaning effect, avoiding the interference of welding debris and dust residues on defect detection, and having a wide actual cleaning range and good effect, further improving the accuracy of post-welding defect detection.
[0025] 3. The present invention reuses the coordinated connection between the gas supply component and the distribution component. When the gas is intermittently input into the curved telescopic part, a part of the gas is pre-stored in the pre-storage component by using the added pre-storage component. When the gas is rotated and released, the final release amount is further increased, so that the stored gas and the propulsion gas are guided and released into the injection component together. The elastic reset force of the spring and the elastic airbag is utilized to quickly squeeze and release the gas, and the injection port arranged around the top of the clamping seat is cooperated so that the ejected gas is blown out along the top surface of the clamping seat, and the residual attached welding debris and impurities are directly blown out. There is no need for special cleaning procedures and equipment to complete automatic cleaning. The actual operation is simple and convenient, and the automatic cleaning effect is good.

An intermediate cavity is provided inside the ejection hole 94 to gather the air volume, and multiple groups of air ports are used for ejection.

[0050] Embodiment 1: After welding, the power unit 7 is started and the meshed rotating assembly 6 is driven to rotate, so that the rotating ring 61 drives the curved telescopic portion 8 and the composite detection portion 9 to rotate synchronously, and the photoelectric sensor 92 and the fan 95 in the composite detection portion 9 are started. The fan 95 rotates and sprays the air through the air jet 123 and blows toward the surface of the workpiece after welding, and during the rotation process, the fan 95 rotates to blow the welding slag and dust from various places outside the workpiece. As the rotating assembly 6 rotates, the air supply assembly 10 is started, and the air pump 103 inputs the gas into the distribution assembly 3 through the connecting ring 102 and the connecting column 101, and inputs the gas into the distribution assembly 3.

The photoelectric sensor 92 completes the mobile detection of defects on the side and top surfaces of the workpiece, and at the same time changes the blowing direction of the fan 95 to complete the comprehensive blowing.
[0051] Firstly, by utilizing the rotating assembly 6 to drive the rotation of the curved telescopic part 8, and cooperating with the gas distribution of the distribution assembly 3, ventilation and exhaust inside the curved telescopic part 8 are realized during the rotation process. When the gas is introduced, the arc rod 82 in the curved telescopic part 8 drives the composite detection part 9 to move from bottom to top along the curved trajectory, and gradually moves from the bottom of the side of the workpiece to the top, so as to perform a comprehensive inspection of the side and top of the workpiece. In addition, in conjunction with the composite detection part 9 in a synchronously rotating state, the gap exhaust moves down and resets during the rotation process, so as to form the ups and downs of the arc trajectory in the rotating state on the outside of the workpiece, so as to realize the comprehensive inspection of the outer side and top surface of the workpiece after welding, which greatly improves the scope of defect detection after welding, and the actual detection range is widened, the speed is fast, the effect is good, and the final defect detection quality after welding is improved.
[0052] In addition, by again utilizing the rotating component 6 to rotate outside the distribution component 3 and intermittently introducing gas into the curved telescopic portion 8, the curved telescopic portion 8 drives the composite detection portion 9 to maintain a rotating state and intermittently move up and down along an arc trajectory, thereby driving the fan 95 to intermittently move up and down in a rotating state, thereby achieving a comprehensive purging treatment of the outer side and top surfaces of the workpiece after welding, thereby avoiding the adhesion of welding debris and dust residues at the defective position, and improving the defect detection effect of the photoelectric sensor on the workpiece after welding by improving the cleaning effect, thereby avoiding the interference of welding debris and dust residues with defect detection, and the actual cleaning range is wide and the effect is good, further improving the accuracy of post-welding defect detection.

The ejected gas entering the injection component 12 is quickly ejected through the ventilation pipe 121, the distribution cover 122 and the injection port 123, and is blown along the top surface of the clamping seat 5 to blow out welding impurities and dust, completing comprehensive detection and cleaning.
[0056] First, by again utilizing the coordinated connection between the air supply component 10 and the distribution component 3, when the gas is intermittently input into the curved telescopic portion 8, a portion of the gas is pre-stored in the pre-storage component 11 by utilizing the additional pre-storage component 11. When the gas is rotated and released, the final release amount is further increased, thereby guiding the stored gas and the propulsion gas to be released into the injection component 12 together. The elastic reset force of the spring 84 and the elastic airbag 112 is utilized to quickly squeeze and release the gas, and in conjunction with the injection port 123 arranged around the top of the clamping seat 5, the ejected gas is blown out along the top surface of the clamping seat 5, and the residual attached welding debris and impurities are directly blown out. No special cleaning process and equipment are required, and automatic cleaning is completed. The actual operation is simple and convenient, and the automatic cleaning effect is good.

The fan 95 rotates and sprays air through the air jet 123 and blows toward the surface of the welded workpiece;
[0060] Step 3: As the rotating assembly 6 rotates, the air supply assembly 10 is started, and the air pump 103 inputs gas into the distribution assembly 3. When the connecting arc tube 83 in the curved telescopic part 8 is aligned with the arc space where the connecting groove 34 is located, the air volume is input into the connecting arc tube 83 and first quickly enters the pre-stored assembly 11, and continues to push the arc rod 82 to move along the arc track in the arc tube 81. The spring 84 stretches, driving the composite detection part 9 to move upward along the curved track from the oblique bottom along the outside of the workpiece, and the photoelectric sensor 92 completes the defect detection of the side and top surfaces of the workpiece;
[0061] Step 4: As the connecting arc tube 83 rotates to connect with the isolation frame 33 during the rotation process, the gas in the pre-stored component 11 and the curved telescopic portion 8 is elastically squeezed out, the spring 84 is reset, the composite detection portion 9 is gradually reset and moves down along the arc trajectory, and the squeezed gas passes through the outlet cavity 35 and the outlet hole 36 and is input into the jet assembly 12.
