Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of processing and production of box-type substations, and in particular to a welding robot for producing box-type substations. Background Art
[0002] A box-type substation, also known as a prefabricated substation or a containerized substation, is a power facility that integrates a transformer, high-voltage switchgear, low-voltage distribution equipment and its auxiliary equipment in a closed metal box. It is mainly used in scenarios such as power supply for urban public facilities, power distribution in residential areas and temporary power supply in industrial areas.
[0003] The box-type substation is mainly composed of a box body, a transformer located inside the box body, a high-voltage switchgear, a power distribution equipment and auxiliary equipment. The box body of the box-type substation is mainly composed of a bottom plate, a steel base, a cable inlet and outlet, and a mobile auxiliary device. When processing the steel base, the steel frame is first cut into a specified length and welded into a rectangle. Then, multiple crossbeams and longitudinal beams are welded in the rectangular area to improve the rigidity and stability of the steel base (see Figure 6 ), and finally, weld the protective plate (the main material of the protective plate is steel plate) according to the location where the electrical equipment needs to be placed. It is used to prevent water, moisture, dust and increase the structural strength of the steel base. It should be noted that the protective plates that need to be welded are mainly in two states: longitudinal and transverse.
[0004] Currently, in the process of welding protective plates, the protective plates to be welded are first moved and placed at the designated welding positions, and then manually welded using welding equipment (such as welding guns, etc.). The welding process is repeated many times to complete the welding of all protective plates on the base. The current welding process has the following problems: Before welding, there are two main placement methods: manually using lifting equipment to assist in placing the protective plates or manually placing the protective plates. Both placement methods require a lot of manpower, have high labor costs and low overall welding efficiency. Secondly, since there are a large number of protective plates placed horizontally and vertically on the steel base and they need to be arranged in close sequence, and the placement accuracy of the protective plates in the current welding process is poor, it is easy to cause a large error between the position of the protective plate and the designated placement position, affecting the protective effect of the protective plate.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the manipulator is provided with a discharge mechanism 3, and the discharge mechanism 3 includes a connecting column 30. The connecting column 30 is fixedly provided at the free end of the manipulator, and a circular plate 300 is fixedly provided on the lower end surface of the connecting column 30 through an L-shaped frame. A rotating column 301 is rotatably provided on the circular plate 300, and a rectangular plate 1 302 is fixedly provided on the lower end surface of the rotating column 301. A rectangular plate 2 303 located below the rectangular plate 1 302 is provided on the rectangular plate 1 302 so as to slide up and down through four vertical columns arranged in a matrix. The rectangular plate 2 303 is driven by an external hydraulic cylinder 2 to move up and down, and a clamping unit 31 for clamping a protective plate is provided on the lower end surface of the rectangular plate 2 303. The clamping unit 31 includes two groups of plate groups distributed left and right, and the plate group includes two front-to-back symmetrical clamping plates 310. The rectangular plate 2 303 is provided with a driving unit 32 for driving the clamping plate 310 to clamp.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the movable frame 13 and the connecting column 30 are jointly provided with a guiding mechanism 4, and the guiding mechanism 4 includes a conversion unit 40 for converting the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 between the horizontal and vertical directions and a guiding unit 41 for guiding the placement process of the protective plate.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the conversion unit 40 includes a circumferential bar 400 , four circumferentially evenly distributed circumferentially are fixedly disposed on the rotating column 301 , and two push bars 401 distributed front and back are disposed on the slide rail base 1 .
[0034] During work, the staff first lifts the steel seat to which the protective plate needs to be welded through the existing external lifting equipment and moves it to the slide rail base 1, and makes the front end surface of the steel seat close to the reference plate 2, and then the manipulator drives the connecting column 30, rectangular plate 1 302 and rectangular plate 2 303 to move to the front area of the slide rail base 1, and at the same time, the manipulator drives the connecting column 30 down to the material taking position, and the clamping plate 310 is opposite to the protective plate to be welded front and back, and then the external hydraulic cylinder 2 works to make the rectangular plate 2 303 move downward, and the driving unit 32 makes the two clamping plates 310 in the same plate group cooperate with each other to clamp the protective plate, and make the center line of the protective plate colinear with the axis of the rotating column 301, and then the manipulator moves the connecting column 30. The connecting column 30 drives the protective plate to move to the top of the steel seat, and the external hydraulic cylinder 1 works to drive the moving frame 13 to move through the horizontal column 12. The electric slider works to move the two sliding frames 11 backward, so that the moving frame 13 moves to the top of the steel seat, and in this process, the connecting column 30 and the rectangular plate 2 303 are guided to the specified position by the downward movement of the manipulator and the guiding unit 41, so that the clamped protective plate is lowered to the specified welding position, and then the welding equipment on the manipulator performs multi-point welding on the contact area between the protective plate and the steel seat. After the welding is completed, the manipulator moves up to drive the connecting column 30 to reset, and then the electric slider continues to move backward to repeat the above operation process, and multiple welding operations of the horizontal protective plate are performed at the specified position on the steel seat.
[0035] When the electric slider drives the sliding frame 11 to move continuously backward and causes the rear push bar 401 to push the circumferential bar 400, the rotating column 301 rotates, and the rotating column 301 drives the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 to rotate synchronously. After the rotation, the two are arranged longitudinally. Then the electric slider works to move the sliding frame 11 forward. During the forward movement, the above process is repeated to perform the welding operation of the longitudinal protective plate.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping unit 31 also includes a sliding block 311. The rectangular plate 303 slides left and right and is penetrated by two sliding blocks 311 distributed left and right. The lower end surface of the sliding block 311 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 312. The two clamping plates 310 in the same plate group are slid forward and backward and are set on the lower end surface of the same mounting plate 312.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the clamping unit 31 also includes a moving block 313, and the rectangular plate 303 slides left and right and is penetrated by two moving blocks 313 distributed left and right, and the two sliding blocks 311 are located between the two moving blocks 313, and a moving plate 314 is fixedly provided on the lower end surface of the moving block 313, and two reference blocks 315 distributed front and back are provided on the lower end surface of the moving plate 314 that slide up and down, and a horizontal column 316 slides left and right on the moving plate 314, and clamping blocks 317 are fixedly provided on the opposite surfaces of the two horizontal columns 316, and a spring 318 is fixedly provided between the clamping block 317 and the moving plate 314, and the clamping plate 310 is T-shaped, and the horizontal sections of the two clamping plates 310 in the same plate group are opposite to each other front and back.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving unit 32 includes a threaded rod 320, and the upper end surface of the rectangular plate 2 303 is rotatably provided with a threaded rod 320 with an axis extending from left to right through two fixed blocks distributed on the left and right. The threaded rod 320 passes through the sliding block 311 and the moving block 313. Four threaded segments are provided on the threaded rod 320, and the two threaded segments on the left and the two threaded segments on the right are symmetrical. The sliding block 311 and the moving block 313 are both threadedly matched with the threaded segments of the threaded rod 320, and a gear 321 is fixedly sleeved on the threaded rod 320. The lower end surface of the rectangular plate 1 302 is fixedly provided with a rack 322 that passes through the rectangular plate 2 303 and meshes with the gear 321.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving unit 32 also includes a vertical block 323, the lower end surface of the rectangular plate 303 is fixedly provided with the vertical block 323, and the left and right end surfaces of the vertical block 323 are both fixedly provided with a connecting block 324 through a multi-stage telescopic rod extending from left to right through the axis, and the connecting block 324 and the two clamping plates 310 on the same side are hingedly connected with a hinge bar 325.
[0040] During operation, the protective plate to be welded is placed on the front side of the slide rail base 1. When the manipulator drives the connecting column 30 to move above the protective plate, the manipulator drives rectangular plate 1 302 and rectangular plate 2 303 to move downward, so that the lower end surface of the vertical section of the clamping plate 310 is flush with the bottom end of the protective plate, and the horizontal section of the clamping plate 310 is pressed down to the upper end surface of the protective plate, limiting the upper and lower directions of the protective plate, and at the same time facilitating the subsequent clamping plate 310 to press the protective plate onto the steel seat, thereby facilitating welding. At this time, the two clamping plates 310 in the same plate group are located on the front and rear sides of the protective plate. Afterwards, the manipulator drives the connecting column 30 and rectangular plate 1 302 to move downward, and the external hydraulic cylinder 2 makes rectangular plate 2 303 close to rectangular plate 1 302. Therefore, rectangular plate 2 303 remains stationary at this time, and rectangular plate 1 302 drives rack 322 to move downward, and the gear 321 drives threaded rod 320 to rotate through the engagement between rack 322 and gear 321.
[0041] The two sliding blocks 311 move away from each other and the two moving blocks 313 move toward each other through the threaded cooperation between the threaded rod 320 and the sliding block 311 and the moving block 313. During the process of the two sliding blocks 311 moving toward each other, the sliding block 311 drives the two mounting plates 312 and the corresponding clamping plates 310 on the mounting plates 312 to move synchronously. As the clamping plates 310 move away from the connecting blocks 324, the two hinged strips 325 on the connecting blocks 324 move toward each other. The two clamping plates 310 move toward each other to clamp the protective plate in the front-to-back direction. During the process of the clamping plates 310 clamping, as the two sliding blocks 311 continue to move away from each other, the two plate assemblies 312 move toward each other. The inner clamping plates 310 are far away from each other to avoid the clamping effect of the clamping plates 310 being affected by the excessive length of the protective plates, thereby improving the stability of the clamping process. In the process of the two moving blocks 313 approaching each other, the moving block 313 drives the moving plate 314 and the clamping block 317 to move synchronously, and the two clamping blocks 317 finally contact the left and right sides of the protective plates respectively. As the moving block 313 continues to move, the spring 1 318 is compressed, and the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 1 318 enables the two clamping blocks 317 to clamp the left and right directions of the protective plates. In summary, the clamping and fixation of the protective plates are completed, and the center line of the protective plates is made to be collinear with the axis of the connecting column 30.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the guide unit 41 includes an L-shaped plate 410, the lower end surface of the mobile frame 13 is fixedly provided with the L-shaped plate 410, the left end surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 410 is fixedly provided with a close plate 411, the left end surface of the close plate 411 is provided with a plurality of rolling balls (not shown in the figure) for reducing friction, the vertical section of the L-shaped plate 410 is slidably penetrated by a guide column 412, the upper end surface of the guide column 412 is fixedly provided with a synchronization block 413, and the synchronization block 413 is fixedly provided with the synchronization block 413. A telescopic rod with an axis extending from left to right is fixedly arranged between the circular plates 300, a mounting circular plate 414 is fixedly sleeved on the guide column 412, a spring 2 415 is fixedly arranged between the mounting circular plate 414 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped plate 410, and a plurality of guide holes 416 equidistantly arranged from front to back are opened on the slide rail base 1, and the guide holes 416 are, from top to bottom, a frustum section with a small diameter section facing downward and a cylindrical section, and the diameter of the cylindrical section is the same as the diameter of the guide column 412.
[0043] It should be noted that after the steel seat is hoisted and moved to be placed on the slide rail base 1 and the front end face of the steel seat is closely aligned with the reference plate 2, the multiple guide holes 416 arranged on the slide rail base 1 are opposite to the positions on the steel seat where the transverse protective plates need to be welded.
[0044] After completing the above-mentioned clamping operation of the protective plate, the electric slider drives the sliding frame 11 to move backward, and stops moving after the guide column 412 is located above the guide hole 416. The external hydraulic cylinder works to move the moving frame 13 to the left, and the moving frame 13 drives the L-shaped plate 410 and the clamping plate 411 to move synchronously. The clamping plate 411 is pressed against the right end surface of the steel seat. The clamping plate 411 and the reference plate 2 cooperate with each other to form a reference for the subsequent placement of the protective plate and welding process, thereby improving the accuracy of welding. The roller ball is set to reduce the friction between the clamping plate 411 and the steel seat during the subsequent forward and backward movement.
[0045] After that, the manipulator drives the connecting column 30 to move downward, and the connecting column 30 drives the circular plate 300 to move downward synchronously through the L-shaped frame, and the circular plate 300 drives the synchronous block 413 to move downward synchronously through the telescopic rod, and the synchronous block 413 drives the guide column 412 to move downward, and the lower end of the guide column 412 passes through the truncated cone section of the guide hole 416 and is inserted into the cylindrical section, completing the limitation of the moving frame 13, the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 in the front and rear directions, which is convenient for the subsequent placement and welding of the protective plate It is connected to the designated position on the steel base, and then the robot drives the rectangular plate 1 302, the rectangular plate 2 303 and the protective plate to move downward synchronously, and presses the protective plate down on the steel base, and finally performs the welding operation. In the above-mentioned guiding process, the inclined surface of the conical section of the guide hole 416 guides the downward movement of the guide column 412, and the spring 2 415 is compressed. After completing the welding operation at this location, the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring 2 415 facilitates the guide column 412 to exit the guide hole 416.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conversion unit 40 also includes a rotating sleeve 402, and the rotating sleeve 402 located below the circular plate 300 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating column 301. The front and rear end surfaces of the rotating sleeve 402 are fixedly provided with matching blocks 403 through spring rods extending from front to back through the axis. The lower end surface of the circular plate 300 is fixedly provided with two groups of block groups distributed in a cross, and the block group includes four limit blocks 404 arranged in a matrix and distributed circumferentially about the rotating column 301. The front side limit block 404 in the block group distributed in the front and rear directions is taken as an example for explanation. The front side limit block 404 is a rectangular segment and a triangular segment of an isosceles triangle from front to back, and the vertex angle of the triangular segment faces the rear side.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conversion unit 40 also includes a moving seat 405, and two front-to-back symmetrical moving seats 405 are set on the slide rail base 1 for sliding left and right. The moving seat 405 is provided with a telescopic member 406 for sliding up and down. The telescopic member 406 is fixedly connected to the circular plate 300 through a multi-stage telescopic rod 2, and the pushing bar 401 is fixedly set on the corresponding telescopic member 406.
[0048] During operation, in the process of adjusting the left and right positions of the rotating column 301 and the circular plate 300, the circular plate 300 drives the moving seat 405, the telescopic member 406 and the pushing bar 401 to move synchronously to a position relative to the front and rear of the connecting column 30 through the multi-stage telescopic rod 2. Therefore, during the welding process, the pushing bar 401 can cooperate with the circumferential bar 400. When the connecting column 30 drives the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 to move backward to perform the welding operation of the transverse protective plate, as the connecting column 30 continues to move, the connecting column 30 drives the circular plate 300 and the circumferential bar 400 to move backward, and the circumferential bar 400 cooperates with the pushing bar 401 on the rear side to rotate the rotating column 301, the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303.
[0049] During the above rotation process, the rotating column 301 drives the rotating sleeve 402 and the matching block 403 to rotate synchronously, the matching block 403 is in continuous contact with the inclined surface of the limit block 404, the spring rod is compressed, and as the rotating sleeve 402 continues to rotate, the matching block 403 is alternately in contact with the limit blocks 404 in the longitudinal block group and the transverse block group, and finally the matching block 403 moves between the two limit blocks 404 in the transverse block group, and the four limit blocks 404 in the transverse block group cooperate with each other to lock the limit blocks 404 within a specified angle range (the angle range between the two limit blocks 404 in the same block group), so that the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 remain facing the left and right sides within the specified angle range, so as to facilitate the welding of the longitudinal protective plate from back to front.
[0050] After completing the welding process of the longitudinal protective plate, the connecting column 30 drives the circumferential bar 400 to move forward synchronously and cooperates with the front push bar 401, so that the rotating column 301 drives the rectangular plate 1 302 and the rectangular plate 2 303 to return to the initial horizontal orientation.
[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide unit 41 also includes a transverse plate 417, a rectangular groove is opened through the movable frame 13, a transverse plate 417 is slidably arranged on the movable frame 13, a guide groove 418 is opened on the transverse plate 417, and the guide grooves 418 are circular segment, rectangular segment, circular segment, rectangular segment and circular segment from left to right, and a positioning column 419 is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface of the connecting column 30, and the diameter of the positioning column 419 is the same as the diameter of the circular segment of the guide groove 418.
[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide unit 41 also includes a transverse block 420, and the upper end surface of the movable frame 13 is slidably provided with four matrix-arranged transverse blocks 420, and the upper end surface of the transverse block 420 is fixedly provided with a bolt 421 with a vertical axis and passing through the transverse plate 417, and a nut is threaded on the bolt 421.
[0053] During operation, during the first placement and welding of the transverse protective plate, when the two movable blocks 313 on the rectangular plate 303 approach each other, the movable plate 314 moves synchronously, and during the movement of the two movable plates 314, the reference blocks 315 thereon are respectively in close contact with the left and right sides of the part of the steel base where the transverse protective plate needs to be welded, so that the rotating column 301 at this time is located in the middle position of the welding position on the steel base in the left and right directions. It should be noted that the transverse protective plate needs to be welded to the middle position of the steel base welding position in the left and right directions. After the above operation, the rotating column 301 drives the transversely oriented rectangular plate 303 to move to the middle position of the steel base welding position, so that the transverse protective plate can be accurately placed at the specified position.
[0054] The rotating column 301 moves to the center position, which is also the reference position for the transverse welding of the protective plate. In the process in which the manipulator drives the rotating column 301 to move downward through the connecting column 30, the connecting column 30 drives the positioning column 419 to move into the middle circular segment of the guide groove 418. Then, in the process in which the rotating column 301 and the connecting column 30 move left and right, the connecting column 30 drives the transverse plate 417 to move synchronously through the cooperation between the positioning column 419 and the guide groove 418. In this process, the transverse plate 417 drives the transverse block 420 and the bolt 421 to move synchronously. When the rotating column 301 is located in the middle position in the left and right directions of the welding position on the steel seat, the transverse plate 417 is manually fixed by tightening the nut onto the bolt 421. At this time, the positions of the left and right circular segments on the guide groove 418 are the reference positions for the longitudinal placement of the protective plate. The reference position for welding the longitudinal protective plate is determined by inserting the positioning column 419 into the left and right circular segments of the guide groove 418, and then the longitudinal protective plate is placed and welded.
[0055] It should be noted that after the protective plate that needs to be horizontally welded is placed on the steel seat, the threaded rod 320 continues to rotate, so that the movable plate 314 drives the reference block 315 to move continuously, and the reference block 315 is tightly attached to the left and right end faces of the steel seat at the horizontal welding position, thereby limiting the state of the rectangular plate 2 303 and the protective plate to ensure that the protective plate is in a horizontal orientation. In the process of welding the longitudinal protective plate, the protective plate that needs to be welded is adjusted to a longitudinal orientation through the cooperation between the reference block 315 and the already welded transverse protective plate or the transverse beam on the steel seat, which is convenient for welding.
