Then, after the pipe moves up along the guide rod 71 and passes over the push rod 72, it reaches the adjustment assembly between the two guide rods 71. The adjustment assembly fixes the pipe to assist in positioning the two pipes.

[0057] The adjustment assembly consists of a side rod 1 74, a side rod 2 75 and an adjustment screw 76. The side rod 1 74 is rotatably connected to the side rod 2 75. The end of the side rod 1 74 away from the side rod 2 75 is rotatably connected to a slider, and the slider is slidably connected to a push rod 72.

[0062] When the cylinder 16 drives the vertical plate 51 to move toward the end of the pipe, the vertical plate 51 abuts against the end of one end of the pipe, and moves the pipe to its other end to abut against another pipe, and then stops moving the vertical plate 51, and starts the motor 3 50 to control the mounting plate 57 to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, the sensor 39 is a laser vision sensor, which is located on one side of the welding gun 36 and faces the weld of the pipe to be welded, so as to monitor the welding process and obtain the weld information in real time.

[0069] A connecting rod 301 is fixedly installed on the top frame 3 and on both sides of the welding gun 36. A pressure rod 302 is rotatably installed on the connecting rod 301. The pressure rod 302 is rotated onto the pipe to press down the welding end of the circular pipe to prevent the pipe from shifting. Installation rods 44 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top frame 3. A guide groove 441 is opened on one side of the installation rod 44, and a material moving rack 442 is slidably provided in the guide groove 441.

[0070] A horizontal slot 48 is provided on the material moving rack 442 , and a matching rod 49 is slidably provided in the horizontal slot 48 . The horizontal slot 48 and the mounting rod 44 are vertically arranged.

[0071] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, one end of the pressure rod 302 is connected to the output end of the motor seven 303, and the motor seven 303 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 301. The two sides of the top frame 3 are fixedly provided with mounting frames 27, and the mounting frames 27 are fixedly provided with cylinder three 26. The output end of the cylinder three 26 is fixedly connected with a material blocking plate 25. The material blocking plate 25 is located above the intersection of the conveyor belt 21 and the inclined rod 13, and controls the transportation of a single round tube to the inclined rod 13, and prevents the transportation of the remaining round tubes.

[0072] The bottom of the material moving rack 442 is fixedly connected to two telescopic rods 443, and a spring is arranged inside the telescopic rod 443. The bottom of the telescopic rod 443 is fixedly connected to a cross frame 45, and two pushing rods 46 are fastened to the cross frame 45. A right-angle block 47 is fastened to one side of the pushing rod 46, and the inclined surface of the right-angle block 47 faces the conveyor belt 21. A symmetrically distributed motor frame 41 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 1, and a motor 8 40 is fixedly installed on the motor frame 41.

[0073] The output end of the motor 840 is fixedly connected with a rocker arm 42, and one end of the rocker arm 42 is fixedly connected to the matching rod 49. Driven by the motor 840, the rocker arm 42 rotates to control the horizontal movement of the material moving rack 442 along the guide groove 441, and the material moving rack 442 moves away from the conveyor belt 21. During the translation process of the pushing rod 46, the round tube in the V-shaped groove or V-shaped structure can be moved to control the movement of the round tube for transfer.

[0074] When the material moving rack 442 moves toward the conveyor belt 21, the inclined surface abuts against the round tube, and the round tube is fixed in the V-shaped groove or the V-shaped structure. The material moving rack 442 continues to translate, and the telescopic rod 443 will shrink and compress the spring in the telescopic rod 443, so that the pushing rod 46 will slide over the round tube without affecting the position of the round tube.

[0075] Here’s how it works:

[0076] In the existing welding operation process, usually after the pipe is fixed on the fixture, the welding gun assembly on the arc welding machine bypasses the pipe to perform circumferential welding. This welding process requires precise control of the movement of the welding gun assembly, and the surrounding movement of the welding gun has high requirements, and the welding equipment design has high requirements.

[0077] In this embodiment, an L-shaped feed rack 2 is used to transport the round tubes. The round tubes are sequentially loaded to the top of the feed rack 2. The round tubes are sequentially transported to the bottom of the blocking plate 25 along the guidance of the feed rack 2 and the blocking plate 22. The cylinder three 26 controls the blocking plate 25 to block the round tubes and control the movement of a single round tube onto the inclined rod 13. When the inclined rod 13 carries a round tube, the moving rack 442 can be driven to move horizontally to continue intelligent loading.

[0078] The material moving rack 442 pushes the round tube from the inclined rod 13, slides it along the side of the guide rod 71 to between the side rod 1 74 and the side rod 2 75, completes the welding and loading of the round tube in turn, and fixes the round tube through the V-shaped groove. When fixing round tubes of different shapes or diameters, the adjusting screw 76 can be rotated to control the height of the connection between the side rod 1 74 and the side rod 2 75, and the opening size of the V-shaped groove is changed in turn to facilitate matching and fixing the round tube.

[0079] After the round tube is loaded, the cylinder 16 drives the vertical plate 51 to move toward the end of the pipe, and the vertical plate 51 abuts the end of one end of the pipe, so that the two pipes located on both sides of the top frame 3 move to the end abutment, and then stop moving the vertical plate 51, start the motor 3 50, to control the mounting plate 57 to move vertically until the rotating roller 58 moves and abuts against the inner wall of the pipe. At this time, the outer wall of the pipe abuts against the side rod 1 74 and the side rod 2 75, and its inner wall abuts against the bottom of the rotating roller 58. The welding process ensures the stability of the pipe and avoids the pipe from being tilted due to force.

[0080] After the pipes are aligned, the motor 7 303 is started to control the pressure rod 302 to rotate, and the pressure rod 302 abuts against the top of the two round pipes to limit the position of the round pipes. At this time, the welding ends of the two round pipes are aligned, and then the lead screw 2 33 and the lead screw 38 are started to adjust the movable welding gun 36 and the sensor 39, so that the welding gun 36 is located above the round pipe, and the sensor 39 is aligned with the welding point of the welding gun 36 for intelligent monitoring.

[0081] Then start the motor 2 60, which controls the rotating roller 64 to rotate, to drive the driving belt 63 to work, drive the pipeline in the welding process, make the two pipelines rotate automatically, and make the connection gap between the two pipelines rotate toward the welding gun 36, and perform arc welding on the two pipeline interfaces in turn.
