Suspended spot welding needs a large number of workers to operate the welding gun, and the welding posture is relatively single, and many complex spot welding is difficult. Robot spot welding has high flexibility, and the welding posture is less limited. However, the initial investment is large, and a robot needs to be purchased, and a welding workstation needs to be designed.

After the electrode cap is ground, the distance between the plate and the electrode cap is larger than before.

[0004] The suspended spot welding relies on manual operation of the welding gun electrode to press against the plate, the robot spot welding relies on the robot to automatically compensate, and the fixed spot welding needs to design a special floating device to compensate for the distance between the ground electrode cap and the plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The embodiments of the application are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] The traditional floating structure is mostly pneumatic type, that is, the air cylinder is used to lift the welding gun and press against the plate to be welded. This compensation method not only needs to purchase the air cylinder, but also needs to separately design the air circuit, which is complex in structure. Meanwhile, a proportional valve is also needed to separately adjust the pressure of the floating air cylinder. In view of this, the floating welding device for the fixed spot welding machine is designed to realize the purpose of automatically compensating for the grinding distance after the electrode is ground and allowing the electrode to be close to the plate. The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0026] The floating welding device for the fixed spot welding machine has the following innovative points: the device comprises a mounting bottom plate 1, a whole gun body mechanism and a floating mechanism, the whole gun body mechanism is fixed on one end of the mounting bottom plate, and the floating mechanism is installed on the other end of the mounting bottom plate in an up-and-down floating manner. The floating mechanism is simple in structure, the whole gun body mechanism can be made into various styles, and standard mounting hole positions are left to be connected with the floating mechanism, so the floating mechanism can be applied to various fixed welding guns.

[0027] In the embodiment, the whole gun body mechanism comprises a moving electrode mounting unit and a static electrode mounting unit, the moving electrode mounting unit comprises an air cylinder 20, a moving electrode 13 and a limiting pin 18, the air cylinder is installed on the mounting bottom plate, the cylinder rod of the air cylinder is installed with the moving electrode, and the limiting pin is transversely arranged at the lower position of the cylinder rod;

[0028] The static electrode mounting unit comprises an L-shaped mounting plate 8, a static electrode mounting frame 21 and a static electrode 14, an installation block 19 is fixed on the upper end surface of the cylinder, the cylinder rod is telescoped in the installation block, the L-shaped mounting plates are oppositely arranged on the inner and outer sides of the installation block, and the static electrode is mounted on the upper end of the vertical part of the L-shaped mounting plate through the static electrode mounting frame.

[0029] The floating mechanism comprises a base 4, a guide rod 3, a limiting stud 2, a limiting rod 11, a limiting block 12, an adjusting bolt 9, a spring sleeve rod 7, a spring 6 and a supporting block 16, the guide rod is vertically arranged on the other end of the mounting base plate, the upper part of the guide rod is connected between the two L-shaped mounting plates through the connecting block 17, the base is threaded on the guide rod, the limiting rod is threaded on the base at one end of the guide rod, the limiting block is horizontally arranged on the top of the limiting rod and is arranged below the lower end of the limiting pin, the adjusting bolt is arranged on the base at the bottom of the limiting rod, the spring sleeve rod is threaded on the base at the other end of the guide rod, the spring is sleeved on the upper end of the base of the spring sleeve rod, the pressing nut 15 is threadedly connected on the upper end of the spring sleeve rod, and the supporting block is arranged on the pressing nut and has a convex structure, the two ends of the convex structure are supported on the lower ends of the two L-shaped mounting plates. The insulating plate 5 is arranged on the side end of the base. The limiting stud is threadedly arranged on the mounting base plate at the bottom of the base.

[0030] The stroke of the limiting pin on the cylinder rod is limited by the limiting block on the limiting rod, the position of the limiting block is adjusted by the adjusting bolt abutting on the limiting rod, and the limiting stud limits the position of the base on the guide rod.

[0031] When the cylinder rod of the overall gun body mechanism is retracted, the moving electrode moves downward, the limiting pin is limited on the limiting block, the cylinder rod continues to retract, thereby driving the mounting base plate to lift up, at this time, the static electrode mounting unit connected with the mounting base plate through the guide rod moves upward, the limiting rod moves in the base, the static electrode moves upward, and the moving and static electrodes are relatively far away from each other.

[0032] When the cylinder rod of the overall gun body mechanism is extended, the moving electrode moves upward, the limiting pin is released from the limiting, thereby driving the mounting base plate to move downward, so that the static electrode mounting unit connected with the mounting base plate through the guide rod moves downward, the static electrode moves downward, and the moving and static electrodes are relatively close to each other, at this time, the welding operation can be performed.

[0033] The vertical installation slot is opened at the side end of the base, the pressing plate 10 is installed at the outside of the installation slot by screw, the limiting rod moves in the space formed by the upper installation slot and the pressing plate, the adjusting bolt is installed at the bottom of the installation slot and is screwed with the internal thread at the bottom of the limiting rod. A limiting circular platform 22 is arranged on the adjusting bolt and is limited on the installation platform arranged perpendicularly to the installation slot.

[0034] When assembling: the whole gun body mechanism and the floating mechanism are installed on the installation base plate.

[0038] The limiting rod is installed in the rectangular installation slot opened on the base, and the opening of the installation slot is fixed with the pressing plate to prevent the limiting rod from falling out;

[0039] The adjusting bolt is connected with the base through the installation slot, and the opening of the installation slot is fixed with the pressing plate to prevent the adjusting bolt from falling out;

[0040] The limiting block is fixed with the limiting rod by the clamping groove and the bolt.

[0041] When working:

[0042] The base is installed on the guide rod of the installation base plate, and the insulating plate can ensure that the whole welding gun is insulated from the outside, the installation bolt is used in cooperation with the insulating plate to avoid electric leakage. When welding, the cylinder rod is extended, the moving electrode is abutted against the plate, because the plate is not moved, under the action of the cylinder rod, the whole gun body mechanism is moved downward, at this time, the fixed electrode is pressed against the plate, and the two electrodes are pressed and electrified to weld;

[0043] When the cylinder rod is retracted, the limiting pin will press the limiting block, and after being pressed, because the limiting block is not moved, the whole gun body mechanism will be lifted upward. At this time, the static electrode will also be lifted to separate from the plate.

[0044] On the one hand, by adjusting the height of the adjusting bolt, the limiting rod and the limiting block, the distance between the two electrodes and the plate can be adjusted, and the plate can be adjusted to the appropriate position; on the other hand, by adjusting the compression nut on the spring sleeve rod, the tension of the spring can be adjusted to balance the gravity of the whole gun body mechanism; the limiting stud can adjust the relative minimum position of the base and the installation base plate, so as to adjust the relative minimum position of the static electrode and the plate.

[0045] In use, the relative position of the moving and static electrodes and the plate is adjusted to the appropriate distance by adjusting the limiting stud and the adjusting bolt, and use can be carried out.
