DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] See also Figure 1-16 As shown, the present invention is a welding robot arm, a welding robot arm, comprising a connecting arm 1, a driving arm 2 and a welding head 4, the connecting arm 1 and the driving arm 2 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 3, the welding head 4 is installed at the lower end of the driving arm 2, the surface of the driving arm 2 is provided with a plurality of equidistant clamping holes 11, and the driving arm 2 is sleeved with a ring cylinder 6, the middle position of the ring cylinder 6 is provided with an inner cylinder 14, the inner cylinder 14 is provided with a clamping mechanism, the position of the ring cylinder 6 on the driving arm 2 can be adjusted by the clamping mechanism, so as to facilitate the subsequent welding head 4 to weld workpieces with different angles, and the outer wall of the ring cylinder 6 is symmetrically provided with air grooves 9, a bellows 10 is rotatably installed in the air groove 9, and a preheating mechanism and a cooling mechanism are provided inside the ring cylinder 6, the preheating mechanism can blow out airflow through the bellows 10 to preheat the surface of the unwelded workpiece, and at the same time clean up impurities on the surface of the workpiece, and the cooling mechanism can blow out airflow through the bellows 10 on the other side to cool the weld after welding, and at the same time clean up the welding slag generated after welding.

[0039] The clamping mechanism includes a connecting column 15 and a clamping rod 21. The connecting column 15 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 14. The connecting column 15 is hollow and the inner bottom is fixed with an electromagnet 16. The electromagnet 16 has a mounting hole 17 inside. The mounting hole 17 has a light receiver 56 installed inside. The light receiver 56 and the light transmitter 13 are set to control the power supply of the electromagnet 16. The connecting column 15 is slidably connected to the clamping rod 21. The end of the clamping rod 21 away from the connecting column 15 passes through the inner cylinder 14 and is movably engaged with the clamping hole 11. A spring 18 is fixed between the clamping rod 21 and the electromagnet 16, and A through hole 20 is provided at the axis of the card rod 21. The through hole 20 is provided so that the light emitted by the light emitter 13 provided in the card hole 11 can pass through the card rod 21 and be received by the light receiver 56, thereby controlling the power supply of the electromagnet 16. A bottom hole 12 is provided at the inner bottom of the card hole 11. The bottom hole 12 is provided to facilitate the installation of the light emitter 13 without affecting the engagement between the card rod 21 and the card hole 11. The light emitter 13 is installed inside the bottom hole 12. The end of the card rod 21 near the electromagnet 16 is set to be a magnetic material, and the opening of the connecting column 15 is fixedly connected to the limit block 19.

[0040] Since the ring tube 6 is installed on the driving arm 2, the welding head 4 is installed at the lower end of the driving arm 2. When the angle of the workpiece to be welded is small, the ring tube 6 needs to be away from the welding head 4 to provide space for the welding of the welding head 4. Therefore, the position of the ring tube 6 on the driving arm 2 can be adjusted. When the ring tube 6 needs to be installed, the ring tube 6 is slid on the driving arm 2, and after adjusting to a suitable position, the ring tube 6 is rotated so that the clamping rod 21 approaches the clamping hole 11. When the clamping rod 21 and the clamping hole 11 are aligned, the light emitted by the light emitter 13 can pass through the clamping rod 21 and be received by the light receiver 56, thereby cutting off the power to the electromagnet 16. The electromagnet 16 no longer attracts the clamping rod 21, and the clamping rod 21 is clamped into the clamping hole 11 under the action of the spring 18, thereby realizing the movable installation of the ring tube 6.

[0041] The preheating mechanism includes an upper plate 22, a lower plate 25 and a heating element 24. The lower plate 25 is fixedly connected between the annular tube 6 and the inner tube 14. The lower plate 25 is annular. Two symmetrically arranged partitions 23 are fixedly connected to the lower plate 25. The upper plate 22 is arranged above the lower plate 25. The upper plate 22 is a heat-insulating material to isolate the heat of the lower chamber 51 from being transferred to the upper chamber 50. The upper plate 22 is fixed between the two partitions 23. A through hole 28 is provided on the upper plate 22. The heating element 24 is installed between the upper plate 22 and the lower plate 25, and the through hole 28 is provided at a place away from the connection between the air pump 8 and the upper chamber 50. In this way, the upper chamber 50 can be filled with cold air and then transported to the lower chamber 51, while being away from the through slot 1 43 and the through slot 2 54, so as to prevent the hot air in the lower chamber 51 from flowing to the cooling chamber 49 through the through slot 1 43 and the through slot 2 54.

[0042] Two partitions 23 divide the space between the annular tube 6 and the inner tube 14 into two parts. A top cover 5 is installed above the annular tube 6 by bolts. The space between one side of the two partitions 23 and the top cover 5 and the upper plate 22 forms an upper chamber 50. The space between the upper plate 22 and the lower plate 25 forms a lower chamber 51. An air pump 8 is fixed to the top cover 5, and the air pump 8 is connected to the upper chamber 50.

[0043] The preheating mechanism and the cooling mechanism are arranged on both sides of the partition 23. When the driving arm 2 moves to drive the welding head 4 to move and weld the workpiece, or when the workpiece moves relative to the welding head 4 to weld, the air pump 8 is started, and the air pump 8 inputs external air into the upper chamber 50. After the external cold air fills the upper chamber 50, it is then transported to the lower chamber 51 through the through hole 28. The cold air is heated after passing through the heating element 24, and then discharged from the bellows 10 through the hose 26 and blown onto the unwelded workpiece in front of the welding head 4. On the one hand, impurities on the workpiece can be blown away, thereby improving the forming quality of the weld. On the other hand, the welding part of the workpiece can be preheated, effectively avoiding the generation of cracks caused by stress caused by large temperature changes during welding, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0044] The cooling mechanism includes a cooling chamber 49 and cooling fins 48. The cooling chamber 49 is the space formed by the other side of the two partitions 23, the top cover 5, and the lower plate 25. The cooling fins 48 are placed inside the cooling chamber 49. A plurality of cooling fins 48 are provided, and a connecting pipe 52 is fixedly connected between the plurality of cooling fins 48. A connecting component is provided between the cooling mechanism and the preheating mechanism, and the cooling mechanism and the preheating mechanism are both provided with an adjustment component. The cooling fins 48 are filled with cooling liquid, and all the cooling fins 48 are connected through the connecting pipe 52, thereby cooling the hot air entering the cooling chamber 49.

[0045] The connecting component includes motor 2 47, gear 41, rack 1 42 and rack 2 46. A protection box 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ring tube 6. A through groove 1 43 and a through groove 2 54 are provided on the partition 23 close to the side of the protection box 7, and two slide grooves 53 are provided on the partition 23. The two slide grooves 53 respectively penetrate through the through groove 1 43 and the through groove 2 54. The rack 1 42 slides and engages with the through groove 1 43 through the slide groove 53, and the rack 2 46 slides and engages with the through groove 2 54 through the slide groove 53. A guide rod 1 44 and a guide rod 2 45 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protection box 7. The end of the rack 1 42 close to the protection box 7 is slidably connected to the guide rod 1 44, and the end of the rack 2 46 close to the protection box 7 is slidably connected to the guide rod 2 45. The motor 2 47 is fixed to the inside of the protection box 7, and the output end of the motor 2 47 is fixedly connected to the gear 41, and the gear 41 is meshed with the rack 1 42 and the rack 2 46 respectively.

[0046] After welding, proper cooling can improve the strength of the weld, but if it is cooled rapidly, it will produce greater thermal stress, causing the weld to deform or crack. Therefore, different welding methods and different welding materials require different cooling temperatures. When warm air is needed for cooling, the motor 2 47 can be started, and the motor 2 47 drives the gear 41 to rotate, and the gear 41 drives the rack 1 42 and the rack 2 46 to slide in the slide groove 53. At this time, the rack 1 42 slides in the direction close to the partition 23, so that the rack 1 42 blocks the through groove 1 43, and the upper cavity 5 0 cannot enter the cooling chamber 49, and the rack 2 46 slides in the direction away from the partition 23, so that the rack 2 46 is disengaged from the through slot 2 54, so that the hot air heated in the lower chamber 51 can flow into the cooling chamber 49 through the through slot 2 54. The hot air is cooled when passing through the cooling fins 48 to form warm air, which is discharged from the bellows 10 through the hose 26 to cool the welding point. Since the top cover 5 and the ring tube 6 are installed by bolts, the cooling fins 48 can be taken out or not according to the required cooling temperature.

[0047] When cooling by cold air is needed, motor 2 47 is started again, and motor 2 47 drives gear 41 to rotate, and gear 41 drives rack 1 42 and rack 2 46 to slide, so that rack 1 42 moves away from through slot 1 43, and through slot 1 43 is opened, so that rack 2 46 slides to block through slot 2 54. At this time, the hot air in the lower cavity 51 cannot enter the cooling cavity 49, while the cold air in the upper cavity 50 can directly enter the cooling cavity 49 through through slot 2 54, and then be discharged from the bellows 10 through the hose 26 to cool the welding position by cold air.

[0048] The adjustment component includes a hose 26, a worm 29 and a worm wheel 39. The hose 26 connects the ventilation box 10 and the lower cavity 51. The hose 26 can adapt to the rotation angle of the bellows 10. A connecting shaft 40 is rotatably installed in the wind groove 9. The bellows 10 is fixed on the connecting shaft 40. The worm wheel 39 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 40. The bottom of the ring tube 6 is fixed with a motor 34 and a bracket 31. The output end of the motor 34 is fixed with a pulley 33. The worm 29 is coaxially arranged with the pulley 33 and the worm 29 is meshed with the worm wheel 39. A support rod 30 is also fixed on the outer wall of the ring tube 6 below the wind groove 9. The worm 29 is rotatably connected between the bracket 31 and the support rod 30, and the outer wall of the inner tube 14 is rotated. A bevel gear 27 is installed, and two connecting frames 36 are fixed on the bevel gear 27. The connection frame 36 is set to avoid the connecting column 15. Two brackets 2 38 are provided on one side of the motor 1 34. The two brackets 2 38 are fixed to the ring cylinder 6 and a pulley 2 37 is rotatably installed between the two brackets 2 38. A belt 32 is installed between the pulley 1 33 and the pulley 2 37. A bevel gear 2 35 is coaxially rotated on the pulley 2 37. The bevel gear 27 is meshed with the bevel gear 2 35. The difference is that the cooling mechanism adjustment component is not provided with a motor 34, and the cooling mechanism adjustment component is provided with two brackets 1 31, and the pulley 1 33 is directly rotatably installed on the two brackets 1 31.

[0049] During shielded welding, shielding gas is sprayed out from the welding head 4 to cover the welding area and ensure the quality of the weld. Although the existing technology uses air blowing to blow the welding slag remaining after welding away from the welding area to improve the density and strength of the welding, the blown air flow is close to the welding head 4, and the blown air flow will disperse the shielding gas at the welding area, affecting the flow rate of the shielding gas, resulting in the shielding gas being unable to effectively cover the welding area, which will reduce the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the weld.

[0050] Therefore, the present application sets an air groove 9 and a bellows 10 on the side wall of the ring tube 6, so that the airflow blown out by the bellows 10 is far away from the welding head 4 and has a different direction from the shielding gas ejected by the welding head 4. Therefore, it can effectively prevent the airflow blown out by the bellows 10 from affecting the flow rate of the shielding gas, and at the same time achieve the effects of cooling, preheating and blowing away impurities;

[0051] Furthermore, since different welding methods and welding materials require different flow rates of shielding gas, it is necessary to adapt to different flow rates of shielding gas by adjusting the distance between the air flow blown out through the bellows 10 and the welding head 4 to avoid blowing away the shielding gas. When the distance needs to be adjusted, the motor 34 can be started, and the motor 34 drives the pulley 33 and the coaxially connected worm 29 to rotate. When the worm 29 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 39 to rotate, and the worm wheel 39 drives the connecting shaft 40 to rotate, and the connecting shaft 40 drives the bellows 10 to rotate, so that the angle of the bellows 10 in the preheating mechanism is adjusted to the appropriate angle. When pulley 1 33 rotates, pulley 2 37 is driven to rotate through belt 32. When pulley 2 37 rotates, it drives bevel gear 2 35 to rotate. Bevel gear 2 35 drives bevel gear 1 27 to rotate. The rotation of bevel gear 1 27 drives bevel gear 2 35 in the cooling mechanism to rotate. Then, the bellows 10 in the cooling mechanism is driven to rotate through the coordinated transmission of pulley 1 33, pulley 2 37, worm 29 and worm gear 39, so that the angle of the bellows 10 in the cooling mechanism is adjusted to an appropriate angle, thereby adjusting the distance between the blown airflow and the welding head 4 to avoid affecting the flow of shielding gas and ensure welding quality.

[0052] The adjustment assembly also includes a slide rod 57 and an air hole 55. A slot is provided on the top wall of the air trough 9. An air hole 55 is provided on the inner wall of the annular tube 6 above the lower plate 25. The air hole 55 is connected to the slot. A second spring is fixed to the bottom wall of the slot. The slide rod 57 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot and one end is fixed to the second spring. A block 58 is fixed to the end of the slide rod 57 away from the second spring.

[0053] When gas is filled into the cooling chamber 49 and the lower chamber 51, the air flow will enter the slot through the air hole 55, and the air flow will push the slide rod 57 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 2 and approach the worm gear 39, and use the clamping block 58 to clamp the worm gear 39 to prevent the worm gear 39 from rotating after driving the bellows 10 to rotate an angle.

[0054] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Any modification to the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, any equivalent replacement of some of the technical features therein, and any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
