Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and more specifically, to a laser welding robot. Background Art

[0002] Laser welding is a high-energy density welding technology. By using a high-energy laser beam generated by a laser, after being focused by a lens system into an extremely small spot, the focused laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece, causing the local area to heat up and melt, forming a molten pool. By moving the laser beam and / or the workpiece, the melted metal is joined together to form a weld seam. A laser welding robot is one of the common laser welding devices.

[0003] During the laser welding process, fumes are generated. This is because during the laser welding process, the metal surface in the welding area is heated to a high temperature, which may cause gasification and oxidation reactions, resulting in the generation of smoke. These fumes and smoke may have a negative impact on the working environment and the health of the operator. Therefore, during laser welding, some measures are usually taken to control and handle the fumes. The conventional way to handle fumes is to cover the outside of the welding robot with a welding housing, and the fumes generated by the welding of the welding robot inside the welding housing are sucked away by an air pump attached to the welding housing. However, for some large workpieces, the general welding robot is an open welding, making the original method of covering and absorbing fumes with a welding housing inapplicable.

Detailed implementation manners

[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the detailed implementation manners.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, the present invention includes the following embodiments:

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] A laser welding robot includes a robot body 1 and a welding seat 2 connected to the output end of the robot body 1; a welding torch 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the welding seat 2; an annular groove 21 is provided on the lower surface of the welding seat 2; the annular groove 21 is concentric with the center of the lower surface of the welding seat 2; the annular groove 21 is provided near the edge of the lower surface of the welding seat 2; a sheath 4 is movably connected in the annular groove 21; the lower end of the sheath 4 can extend out or retract into the notch of the annular groove 21; after the lower end of the sheath 4 extends out of the notch of the annular groove 21, it can block the welding torch 3; an air suction groove 22 is provided on the lower surface of the welding seat 2; a filter screen 23 is provided at the notch of the air suction groove 22; the bottom of the air suction groove 22 is communicated with an air pipe 24; the other end of the air pipe 24 is communicated with an air pump; the welding robot is controlled by a controller to operate.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sheath 4 is formed by surrounding a plurality of arc-shaped plates 41; adjacent arc-shaped plates 41 are slidably and sealingly connected; the lower ends of the plurality of arc-shaped plates 41 can adapt to the surface of the workpiece welded by the welding torch 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, a driving groove 25 is provided inside the welding seat 2; the driving groove 25 is located inside the annular groove 21; a driving plate 26 is slidably and sealingly connected up and down in the driving groove 25; a driving rod 5 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the driving plate 26; the driving rod 5 passes through the lower surface of the welding seat 2 and is arranged close to the welding torch 3; the driving plate 26 divides the driving groove 25 into an upper cavity 251 at the upper position and a lower cavity 252 at the lower position; a driving hole 253 is provided for communicating the upper groove wall of the upper cavity 251 and the bottom of the annular groove 21; the sheath 4 is movably and sealingly connected to the annular groove 21; a first spring 27 is provided for connecting the upper groove wall of the upper cavity 251 and the upper surface of the driving plate 26.

[0036] In this embodiment, an avoidance groove 51 is provided on the lower end surface of the driving rod 5; an avoidance rod 52 is movably connected in the avoidance groove 51; a second spring 53 is provided for connecting the upper end of the avoidance rod 52 and the bottom of the avoidance groove 51; the elastic force of the second spring 53 is greater than the elastic force of the first spring 27; a lower hole 254 is provided for communicating the lower groove wall of the lower cavity 252 and the lower surface of the welding seat 2; the opening of the lower hole 254 faces the driving rod 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, a corrugated groove 28 is provided on the inner groove wall of the annular groove 21 from top to bottom; a movable block 29 is movably connected in the corrugated groove 28; the movable block 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the arc-shaped plates 41; the movable block 29 can drive the corresponding arc-shaped plate 41 to move along the circumferential and axial directions of the welding seat 2 in the corrugated groove 28.

[0038] During operation, a welding table is placed below the welding torch 3. After the operator places the two workpieces to be welded on the welding table, the controller is activated to control the operation of the robot body 1, which is a robotic arm. The robot body 1 drives the welding seat 2 on the output shaft to approach the welding position of the workpiece. The welding seat 2 drives the welding torch 3, the driving rod 5, and the sheath 4 to move closer to the welding position of the workpiece. The avoidance rod 52 is driven by the driving rod 5 to first contact the workpiece. As the welding seat 2 continues to approach the welding position, the avoidance rod 52 is pressed and drives the driving rod 5 to push the driving plate 26 to move within the driving groove 25. Since the elastic force of the first spring 27 is less than the elastic force of the second spring 53, there is no relative movement between the driving rod 5 and the avoidance groove 51. As the avoidance rod 52 is pressed, the driving rod 5 drives the driving plate 26 to squeeze the upper cavity 251, while the space of the lower cavity 252 becomes larger, and external gas enters the lower cavity 252 for gas replenishment. As the driving plate 26 moves upward within the driving groove 25, the medium in the upper cavity 251 is pressed and enters the annular groove 21 along the driving hole 253, thereby pushing the multiple arc-shaped plates 41 in the annular groove 21 downward. The lower ends of the multiple arc-shaped plates 41 extend out of the corresponding annular grooves 21 under the action of the medium pressure. The multiple arc-shaped plates 41 that extend out of the annular groove 21 can block the welding torch 3. The lower ends of the arc-shaped plates 41 can contact the workpiece. The multiple arc-shaped plates 41 are slidably and sealingly connected to each other, so the multiple arc-shaped plates 41 can be staggered from each other. In this way, the lower ends of the multiple arc-shaped plates 41 can adapt to the surface of the workpiece, reducing the gap between the lower ends of the arc-shaped plates 41 and the workpiece and improving the shielding effect of the arc-shaped plates 41 on the welding of the workpiece. As the welding seat 2 continues to approach the welding position, the arc-shaped plates 41 cannot move further due to the obstruction of the workpiece, so that relative movement occurs between the arc-shaped plates 41 and the annular groove 21 on the welding seat 2, so that the medium between the upper ends of the arc-shaped plates 41 and the bottom of the annular groove 21 is pressed and flows back to the driving hole 253 and enters the driving groove 25 along the driving hole 253. In this way, the driving plate 26 moves within the driving groove 25, increasing the space of the upper cavity 251 and decreasing the space of the lower cavity 252. In this way, the avoidance rod 52 overcomes the second spring 53 and moves into the avoidance hole until the welding torch 3 moves to the welding position; the elastic force of the second spring 53 is transmitted to the medium in the driving groove 25 through the driving plate 26, so that the medium is transmitted to the multiple arc-shaped plates 41. The lower ends of the multiple arc-shaped plates 41 abut against the workpiece, pressing the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from shifting during welding and improving the welding stability;

[0039] After the movement of the welding gun 3 is completed, the controller is started to control the welding gun 3 to perform laser welding on the workpiece. At the same time, the controller controls the air pump to work. The welding gun 3 will generate smoke during the welding process of the workpiece. The smoke enters the suction groove 22 along the filter 23 under the suction force generated by the air pump and is sucked out along the air pipe 24. The smoke is filtered by the filter 23 and sucked away. The multiple arc plates 41 block the welding gun 3, so the smoke generated during the welding process of the welding gun 3 is not easy to leak, so that the smoke can be discharged from the suction groove 22 after being blocked by the arc plate 41. In addition, debris splashes during the welding process, and the inner wall of the arc plate 41 can The robot body 1 controls the welding seat 2 and the welding gun 3 to move along the weld seam, and the welding seat 2 drives the multiple arc plates 41 to move along the weld seam, so that the welding gun 3 can be shielded from welding by the arc plates 41 in time during the moving welding process, so that the fume generated by welding can be smoothly and centrally extracted. Compared with the traditional method of extracting gas in a certain space, the fume extraction of the present invention is more concentrated and more efficient. The external gas will enter the inside of the sheath 4 along the gap between the lower end of the arc plate 41 and the workpiece for gas replenishment;

[0040] After the welding of the workpiece is completed, the welding seat 2 will be lifted away from the workpiece, and the welding seat 2 will drive the welding gun 3 away from the workpiece, and the multiple arc plates 41 will extend further from the annular groove 21, and the avoidance rod 52 will also extend from the avoidance groove 51 under the action of the second spring 53. As the welding seat 2 continues to move away from the workpiece, the avoidance rod 52 breaks away from contact with the workpiece, and the first spring 27 will push the driving plate 26 back. The driving plate 26 is squeezed by the first spring 27 to squeeze the lower cavity 252, so that the gas in the lower cavity 252 is discharged along the lower hole 254, and the lower hole 254 is directed towards the driving rod 5, so that the debris on the surface of the driving rod 5 falls off in time to avoid adhesion. The space of the upper cavity 251 becomes larger during the return process of the driving plate 26 to form a negative pressure, so that the medium in the annular groove 21 enters the driving groove 25 along the driving hole 253 under the action of the negative pressure, so that the multiple arc plates 41 are directed towards The annular groove 21 retracts. Since a movable block 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the arc plates 41, and the movable block 29 is movably connected to the corrugated groove 28, the movable block 29 will move from bottom to top in the corrugated groove 28 as the arc plate 41 retracts into the annular groove 21, so that the arc plate 41 connected to the movable block 29 moves back and forth in the circumferential direction while retracting into the annular groove 21. A plurality of arc plates 41 are formed around the sheath 4, so that the entire sheath 4 will produce a circumferential back and forth movement under the movement of the movable block 29, so that the impurities on the inner wall of the sheath 4 are scraped off by the back and forth scraping of the notch of the annular groove 21, so that the debris on the inner wall of the sheath 4 is cleaned. The back and forth scraping has a better cleaning effect, and it is avoided that the residue of the sheath 4 affects the retraction of the annular groove 21. After the inner wall cleaning is completed, the sheath 4 retracts into the annular groove 21 under the action of negative pressure, so that the welding gun 3 is exposed, and the laser welding process of the workpiece is completed.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sheath 4 shields the welding torch 3 during the welding process. On the one hand, it can intercept the debris generated by welding, and on the other hand, it can prevent the diffusion of the fumes generated by welding, enabling the fumes to be smoothly sucked away centrally by the air pump, avoiding the impact of the fumes on the working environment and the health of personnel. Compared with the original fume treatment method, it is more centralized and has higher efficiency;

[0042] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped plate 41 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped plates 41 that slide and seal with each other, so that the lower ends of the plurality of arc-shaped plates 41 can be adapted to the surface of the workpiece, reducing the gap between the lower end of the sheath 4 and the workpiece, improving the shielding effect of the sheath 4 on the fumes, enabling the fumes to be sucked away better. In addition, the arc-shaped plate 41 pressing against the workpiece serves the purpose of pressing, improving the stability of the workpiece during the welding process;

[0043] In the present invention, the movable block 29 is movably connected in the corrugated groove 28, so that the plurality of arc-shaped plates 41 can move back and forth circumferentially during the process of retracting to the inner side of the annular groove 21, and thus the impurities on the inner wall of the sheath 4 can fall off under the scraping of the notch of the annular groove 21, improving the stability of the sheath 4 when it returns to the annular groove 21 and enabling the welding torch 3 to be smoothly exposed for observation.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] The lower cavity 252 is communicated with the outside through a one-way air inlet hole 255; a one-way valve is arranged in the lower hole 254; external gas enters the lower cavity 252 along the one-way air inlet hole 255, and the gas in the lower cavity 252 can overcome the one-way valve and be discharged from the lower hole 254.

[0046] In this embodiment, the aperture of the one-way air inlet hole 255 is smaller than the aperture of the lower hole 254; the speed of the driving plate 26 moving upward in the driving groove 25 is less than the speed of moving downward; the speed of the arc-shaped plate 41 extending out of the annular groove 21 is less than the speed of retracting into the annular groove 21.

[0047] During operation, when the driving plate 26 moves upward in the driving groove 25, the space of the lower cavity 252 becomes larger to form a negative pressure, causing external gas to enter the lower cavity 252 along the one-way air inlet hole 255. When the driving plate 26 moves downward in the driving groove 25, the space of the lower cavity 252 becomes smaller, causing the gas in the lower cavity 252 to be compressed and discharged along the lower hole 254, realizing the impact cleaning of debris on the surface of the driving rod 5. Since the aperture of the one-way air inlet hole 255 is smaller than that of the lower hole 254, the upward movement speed of the driving plate 26 in the driving groove 25 is less than the downward movement speed. In this way, the extending speed of the arc-shaped plate 41 in the annular groove 21 is less than the retracting speed into the annular groove 21. Thus, when the welding torch 3 moves upward, the arc-shaped plate 41 will not immediately retract into the annular groove 21. In this way, the flue gas inside the sheath 4 can be more thoroughly sucked away and filtered by the air pump during the delayed retraction of the arc-shaped plate 41, further avoiding the leakage and diffusion of flue gas and further improving safety.

[0048] Embodiment 3:

[0049] One of the vertical contact surfaces of the arc-shaped plate 41 in the circumferential direction is the first contact surface 42; the other vertical contact surface of the arc-shaped plate 41 in the circumferential direction is the second contact surface 43; a limiting block 44 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the first contact surface 42; a vertical limiting groove 45 is provided on the second contact surface 43; the limiting block 44 is slidably connected in the corresponding limiting groove 45; in the initial state, the limiting block 44 is located at the middle position of the corresponding limiting groove 45;

[0050] During operation, since the limiting block 44 is slidably connected in the corresponding limiting groove 45, the contact positions of adjacent arc-shaped plates 41 can be axially staggered from each other by a certain distance on the welding seat 2, so as to satisfy that the lower end of the arc-shaped plate 41 abuts against the uneven workpiece surface, reducing the gap between the workpiece surface and the lower end of the arc-shaped plate 41. More importantly, during the process of multiple arc-shaped plates 41 retracting into the annular groove 21, due to the limitation of the limiting block 44 and the limiting groove 45, the degree of staggering between adjacent arc-shaped plates 41 is restricted. Thus, when there is debris attached to the inner side of one of the arc-shaped plates 41, even if the inner sides of other arc-shaped plates 41 are clean, they cannot be completely retracted into the annular groove 21 under the action of negative pressure. In this way, a certain negative pressure degree in the annular groove 21 is ensured, so that the debris on the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 41 is scraped off when the arc-shaped plate 41 retracts into the annular groove 21 with a relatively high force, and with the circumferential back-and-forth scraping of multiple arc-shaped plates 41, the cleaning effect of debris on the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 41 is improved.
