When welding, it is often necessary for workers to move the floor panel to the fixture, then fix it, then install the welding rod on the floor panel, and then fetch the welding torch for welding operations. Such a welding method has low efficiency and is also relatively troublesome. Although some large factories use vision robots and other methods for fully automatic welding operations, their costs are high and they cannot be fully applicable to all factories.

[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 Figures 1 - 9, An intelligent welding system for automobile floorboards, 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 rotating ring 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 rotating ring 71, a sliding plate 73 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the inner frame 72, a rotating shaft 75 is rotatably installed on the sliding plate 73, and the rotating shaft 75 is fixedly installed below the turntable 2;

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

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

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

[0034] After starting the servo motor 74, it will drive the rotating shaft 75 to rotate through the gears. When the rotating shaft 75 rotates, it will drive the push rod 711 and the movable frame 76 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the movable frame 76 will drive the pressing plate 77 to start rotating. The pressing plate 77 and the welding head 4 are arranged oppositely, that is, the pressing plate 77 is arranged at one end away from the welding head 4. So when the welding head 4 approaches a certain thin plate 5, at this time the pressing plate 77 is located behind the welding head 4, and then the pressing plate 77 will contact the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, thereby pushing the sliding plate 73 to slide in the inner frame 72 so that the welding head 4 aligns 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 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 installed 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, a plug 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 adapted to the size of the plug rod 83 is opened on the convex plate 84;

[0038] The bottom end of the processing table 1 is rotatably installed with a runner 85 and a limit wheel 89, and a limit mechanism is arranged on the processing table 1. The limit mechanism includes a connecting shaft 88, and a belt 87 is arranged at the bottom end of the processing table 1. A strip 86 is fixedly installed on the belt 87;

[0039] Among them, the belt 87 is connected through the limit wheel 89, the runner 85 and the connecting shaft 88, so that the limit mechanisms at both ends are synchronously connected together. At the same time, the runner 85 is arranged in the middle of the belt 87. When the servo motor 74 drives the welding torch 3 to rotate one week, at this time, 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 vertically move through the slider 82 in the vertical plate 81. Since one end of the insertion rod 83 close to the convex plate 84 is inserted into 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 is fixedly connected with the rotating ring 71, so at this time, the rotating ring 71 will be driven to rotate;

[0040] Among them, the runner 85 is arranged between the rotating ring 71 and the strip 86 and is in contact with both. When the rotating ring 71 rotates, it will drive the runner 85 to rotate. When the runner 85 rotates, it will drive the strip 86 to move. At this time, the strip 86 will drive the belt 87 to slide. 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, so as to drive the tooling rack 61 to rotate, so as to rotate the thin plate 5;

[0041] Among them, the small-angle rotation of the rotating ring 71 will drive the connecting shaft 88 to rotate through the runner 85, the strip 86 and the belt 87, so that the connecting shaft 88 rotates half a turn 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 over for welding;

[0042] Among them, a damping is arranged between the rotating ring 71 and the processing table 1, so that the rotating ring 71 will not rotate randomly in the natural state.

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

[0044] Among them, when the electric push rod 711 drives the movable frame 76 to move up and down, the pressing plate 77 in the movable frame 76 will also move up and down synchronously. Refer to Figure 6 , when the pressing plate 77 moves up and down, it will contact the inner walls with different thicknesses of the arc-shaped displacement plate;

[0045] Among them, when welding the existing part of the vehicle frame thin plate 5, usually two welding rods need to be welded on it to improve stability or safety. However, the vehicle frame is mostly irregular. Taking this application as an example, two welding rods need to be welded on the vehicle frame thin plate 5, but the lengths of the two welding rods are different. 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 racks 61, only rotation is required to ensure that each welding point is on the route. But when the thin plate 5 rotates half a circle to turn the other end of the welding rod, refer to Figure 8 , at this time, the two welding rods are often not on the same vertical line. After turning them to the same vertical line, the midpoint position of the connection line between the welding points also moves down at this time. At this time, the direct rotation of the turntable 2 will deviate from the welding point. At this time, if welding is required, start the electric push rod 711 to make the electric push rod 711 move upward. When the electric push rod 711 moves upward, the extrusion plate 77 will be pulled by the spring on it and move into the movable frame 76, so that the extended length becomes shorter. At this time, when the rotating shaft 75 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, the extrusion 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 extrusion plate 77 drive the rotating shaft 75 and the sliding 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. Refer to Figure 8 , in the normal state, the inner frame 72 is kept horizontal. At this time, the center of the turntable 2 is located at the upper end of the a track. When the other end of the welding rod on the thin plate 5 rotates over, at this time the welding point deviates, and at the same time the center position of the turntable 2 should move downward to the right along the a track. Therefore, the inner frame 72 will rotate clockwise by a small angle from the horizontal, so that when the turntable 2 moves through the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, it will move downward to the right along the a track. At the same time, the extrusion plate 77 will move a little more forward downward to the right through the thick end of the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, so as to move to the lower right of the a track. At this time, the rotation of the turntable 2 will be a solid circle trajectory, so as to facilitate welding the non-flush ends of the two welding rods on the thin plate 5.

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

[0047] Among them, the extrusion plate 77 is horizontally slidably installed in the movable frame 76 through the slide bar on it. 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. Refer to Figure 6, when the movable frame 76 moves downward, it will drive the slider downward. At this time, the hypotenuse on the slider will contact the bottom block 78, so that the slider drives the pressing plate 77 to move outward. At this time, the spring will be stretched. When the movable frame 76 moves upward, the hypotenuse of the slider will move away from the bottom block 78. At this time, the spring will pull the pressing plate 77 to move inward, thereby reducing the extended length.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present invention: one end of the pressing plate 77 is arc-shaped;

[0049] Through the arc-shaped setting on the pressing plate 77, when the pressing plate 77 approaches the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, it can slide into the arc-shaped displacement rod 79, thereby pushing the sliding plate 73 to move inside the inner frame 72 in a certain direction.

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

[0051] The thin plate 5 can be placed on the receiving table. Then, the screw rod 64 is rotated, and the screw rod 64 will squeeze and limit the thin plate 5 through the pressing plate 65. An insertion strip is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the receiving frame 62, and the insertion strip can be inserted into the tooling rack 61. At the same time, screws can be used for fixing and locking, 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] Through the connecting rod, the arc-shaped displacement rod 79 can be installed below the rotating ring 71 and closer to the pressing plate 77.

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

[0055] The connecting strip 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 strip is small, so that the slider will not contact it when moving horizontally, so that when the upper end of the bottom block 78 squeezes and moves away from the slider, the movement of the slider will not be restricted.

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

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

[0058] Only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of illustration. Without doubt, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims of the present invention.
