[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] See also Figure 1-9, an intelligent welding system for automobile floor, including a processing table 1, a turntable 2 is installed on the processing table 1, a welding gun 3 is fixedly installed on the turntable 2, a welding head 4 is installed on the welding gun 3, a swivel 71 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the processing table 1, an inner frame 72 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the swivel 71, a slide plate 73 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the inner frame 72, a rotating shaft 75 is rotatably installed on the slide plate 73, and the rotating shaft 75 is fixedly installed below the turntable 2;

[0031] An electric push rod 711 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 75, a movable frame 76 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod 711, an extrusion plate 77 is horizontally slidably mounted on the inner wall of the movable frame 76, an arc-shaped displacement rod 79 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the processing table 1, and a bottom block 78 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 75;

[0032] When the turntable 2 rotates, it will automatically approach the thin plate 5 that currently needs to be welded, and after the thin plate 5 turns its direction, it can adaptively tilt and move during the movement to align with the welding point.

[0033] In another embodiment of the present invention: a servo motor 74 is fixedly mounted on the slide plate 73, and gears are fixedly mounted on the output end of the servo motor 74 and the surface of the rotating shaft 75;

[0034] After the servo motor 74 is started, it will drive the rotating shaft 75 to rotate through the gear. When the rotating shaft 75 rotates, it will drive the electric push rod 711 and the movable frame 76 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the movable frame 76 will drive the extrusion plate 77 to start rotating. The extrusion plate 77 and the welding head 4 are arranged relative to each other, that is, the extrusion plate 77 is arranged at the end away from the welding head 4. Therefore, when the welding head 4 is close to a certain thin plate 5, the extrusion plate 77 is located behind the welding head 4. At this time, the welding head 4 will contact the arc displacement rod 79, thereby pushing the slide plate 73 to slide in the inner frame 72, so that the welding head 4 is aligned with the welding point, and then the welding gun 3 is started to perform spot welding;

[0035] The servo motor 74 is controlled by the central control system program and stops after rotating to a specified angle. At the same time, the central control system controls the welding gun 3 to perform welding operations.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention: a displacement ring 710 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the movable frame 76, and the number of the displacement rings 710 is two;

[0037] A vertical plate 81 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the processing table 1, a slider 82 is vertically slidably installed in the vertical plate 81, an insertion rod 83 is fixedly installed in the slider 82, a convex plate 84 is fixedly installed on the rotating ring 71, and an inclined groove matching the size of the insertion rod 83 is opened on the convex plate 84;

[0038] A rotating wheel 85 and a limiting wheel 89 are rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the processing table 1, and a limiting mechanism is arranged on the processing table 1, the limiting mechanism includes a connecting shaft 88, and a belt 87 is arranged at the bottom end of the processing table 1, and a long strip 86 is fixedly mounted on the belt 87;

[0039] The belt 87 is connected through the limit wheel 89, the rotating wheel 85 and the connecting shaft 88, so that the limit mechanisms at both ends are synchronously connected together. At the same time, the rotating wheel 85 is set at the middle position of the belt 87. When the servo motor 74 drives the welding gun 3 to rotate one circle, the electric push rod 711 is controlled by the central control system to move upward. As the electric push rod 711 moves, it will drive the movable frame 76 to move upward. When the movable frame 76 moves upward, it will drive the displacement ring 710 to move. At this time, the two displacement rings 710 are arranged in parallel, and the insertion rod 83 is located between the two displacement rings 710. When the movable frame 76 drives the displacement ring 710 to rise, it will drive the insertion rod 83 to rise synchronously. When the insertion rod 83 rises, it will move vertically in the vertical plate 81 through the slider 82, and because the end of the insertion rod 83 close to the convex plate 84 is inserted in the inclined groove of the convex plate 84, at this time, as the insertion rod 83 moves upward, it will drive the convex plate 84 to rotate, and the convex plate 84 and the rotating ring 71 are fixedly connected together, so at this time, the rotating ring 71 will be driven to rotate;

[0040] The rotating wheel 85 is arranged between the rotating ring 71 and the long strip 86, and fits with both. When the rotating ring 71 rotates, it will drive the rotating wheel 85 to rotate, and when the rotating wheel 85 rotates, it will drive the long strip 86 to move. At this time, the long strip 86 will drive the belt 87 to slide, and the two ends of the belt 87 are respectively connected to the connecting shaft 88. At this time, the two connecting shafts 88 will rotate synchronously, thereby driving the tooling frame 61 to rotate, so that the thin plate 5 is rotated;

[0041] The small angle rotation of the rotating ring 71 will drive the connecting shaft 88 to rotate through the rotating wheel 85, the long strip 86 and the belt 87, so that the connecting shaft 88 rotates half a circle or a specified angle, and at this time, the other end of the welding rod to be welded on the thin plate 5 will be rotated to perform welding;

[0042] A damper is provided between the rotating ring 71 and the processing table 1 so that the rotating ring 71 will not rotate randomly in a natural state.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention: the cross section of the arc-shaped displacement rod 79 is L-shaped;

[0044] When the electric push rod 711 drives the movable frame 76 to move up and down, the extrusion plate 77 in the movable frame 76 will also move up and down synchronously. Figure 6 When the extrusion plate 77 moves up and down, it will contact the inner wall of the arc displacement plate with different thicknesses;

[0045] Among them, when welding some existing vehicle frame thin plates 5, it is usually necessary to weld two welding rods thereon to improve stability or safety, but most vehicle frames are of special shapes. Taking the present application as an example, two welding rods need to be welded on the vehicle frame thin plate 5, but the two welding rods are of different lengths. At this time, one end of the two welding rods is set flush, while the other end is not flush. When welding the flush end, when the turntable 2 is located between the two tooling frames 61, it is only necessary to rotate it to ensure that each welding point is on the route. However, when the thin plate 5 is rotated half a circle to turn the other end of the welding rod over, refer to Figure 8 At this time, the two welding rods are often no longer on the same vertical line, and after they are rotated to the same vertical line, the midpoint position of the connecting line between their welding points is also moved downward. At this time, the direct rotation of the turntable 2 will deviate from the welding point. At this time, if welding is required, the electric push rod 711 is started to make the electric push rod 711 move upward. When the electric push rod 711 moves upward, the squeezing plate 77 will be pulled by the spring thereon and move toward the movable frame 76, thereby shortening the extended length. At this time, when the rotating shaft 75 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, the squeezing plate 77 will contact the thicker inner wall of the arc-shaped displacement rod 79. At this time, the arc-shaped displacement plate will make the squeezing plate 77 drive the rotating shaft 75 and the slide plate 73 to slide a longer distance in the inner frame 72. At the same time, as the electric push rod 711 moves upward, the electric push rod 711 will also drive the rotating ring 71 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating ring 71 will change the angle of the inner frame 72. At this time, the inner frame 72 will tilt. Figure 8 In a normal state, the inner frame 72 remains horizontal. At this time, the center of the turntable 2 is located at the upper end of the track a. When the other end of the welding rod on the thin plate 5 rotates over, the welding point is offset. At the same time, the center position of the turntable 2 should move toward the lower right along the track a. Therefore, the inner frame 72 will rotate clockwise at a small angle to the right horizontally, so that the turntable 2 moves toward the lower right along the track a when it moves through the arc-shaped displacement rod 79. At the same time, the extrusion plate 77 will move a little further toward the lower right through the thickness end of the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, so as to move to the lower right of the track a. At this time, the rotation of the turntable 2 will be a solid circle track, which is convenient for welding the uneven ends of the two welding rods on the thin plate 5.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention: a slide bar is fixedly mounted on the extrusion plate 77, and a bevel is provided at one end of the slide bar close to the bottom block 78, and a spring is fixedly mounted between the extrusion plate 77 and the movable frame 76;

[0047] The extrusion plate 77 is horizontally slidably mounted in the movable frame 76 through the slide bar thereon. At the same time, when the movable frame 76 moves up and down to approach or move away from the bottom block 78, the spring will pull the extrusion plate 77 to move. Figure 6When the movable frame 76 moves downward, it will drive the slide bar to move downward. At this time, the bevel on the slide bar will contact the bottom block 78, so that the slide bar drives the extrusion plate 77 to move outward. At this time, the spring will be stretched. When the movable frame 76 moves upward, the bevel of the slide bar will be away from the bottom block 78. At this time, the spring will pull the extrusion plate 77 inward, thereby reducing the extended length.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention: one end of the extrusion plate 77 is arranged in an arc shape;

[0049] The arc-shaped arrangement on the extrusion plate 77 allows the extrusion plate 77 to slide into the arc-shaped displacement rod 79 when it approaches the arc-shaped displacement rod 79 , thereby pushing the slide plate 73 to move in the inner frame 72 .

[0050] In another embodiment of the present invention: the limiting mechanism further includes a tooling frame 61, a receiving frame 62 is fixedly mounted on the tooling frame 61, a clamping table 63 is fixedly mounted on the receiving frame 62, a screw rod 64 is threadedly inserted on the clamping table 63, and a pressing plate 65 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the screw rod 64;

[0051] The thin plate 5 can be placed on the receiving table, and then the screw 64 is rotated. The screw 64 will squeeze and limit the thin plate 5 through the pressure plate 65. The bottom end of the receiving frame 62 is fixedly installed with an insertion strip, which can be inserted into the tooling frame 61 and fixed and locked with screws, so as to facilitate the replacement of the receiving frame 62.

[0052] In another embodiment of the present invention: a connecting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the processing table 1, the connecting rod is L-shaped, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped displacement rod 79;

[0053] The arc displacement rod 79 can be installed below the swivel 71 and closer to the extrusion plate 77 through a connecting rod.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present invention: a connecting bar is fixedly installed between the rotating shaft 75 and the bottom block 78, and the size of the connecting bar is smaller than the size of the bottom block 78;

[0055] The connecting bar is arranged between the rotating shaft 75 and the bottom block 78 to install the bottom block 78 on the rotating shaft 75. At the same time, the size of the connecting bar is small so that the slide bar will not abut against it when it moves horizontally, so that when the upper end of the bottom block 78 squeezes and moves away from the slide bar, the movement of the slide bar will not be restricted.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention: a pulley is installed on the connecting shaft 88;

[0057] The belt 87 can drive the two connecting shafts 88 to rotate via the pulley.

[0058] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
