A first limiting spring 37 cooperating with the third clamping block 30 is provided on one side of the second cylinder seat 24, and a second limiting spring 38 cooperating with the fourth clamping block 31 is provided on the other side of the second cylinder seat 24. A first detection sensor 39 cooperating with the first part 34 is provided on the first part seat 22, and a second detection sensor 40 cooperating with the second part 35 is provided on the second cylinder seat 24. The function of the manual lever 36 is to manually control the third clamping block 30 and the fourth clamping block 31 to clamp the second part 35. This clamping is only temporary. Only when the third clamping block 30 and the fourth clamping block 31 are controlled by the second cylinder 26 and the third cylinder 27 respectively to clamp the second part 35 is it considered a long-term clamping. After the long-term clamping, welding work can be performed. The first detection sensor 39 and the second detection sensor 40 are both existing laser sensors. Both are electrically connected to the control center. After the first detection sensor 39 detects the first part 34, it transmits a signal to the control center, which then controls the first cylinder 25 to clamp the first part 34. Similarly, after the second detection sensor 40 detects the second part 35, it transmits a signal to the control center, which then controls the second cylinder 26 and the third cylinder 27 to clamp the second part 35. If no part is detected, clamping will not occur, and the corresponding sensor will transmit a signal to the control center, which will then trigger an alarm using an existing alarm system.
[0052] In some embodiments, the upper ends of the connecting seat 20 and the adjusting seat 21 are hinged, and an adjusting block 41 is fixedly provided on the lower end of the connecting seat 20. The adjusting block 41 is provided with an adjusting screw 42 that cooperates with the adjusting seat 21. The connecting seat 20 is provided with an adjusting groove 43, and a fastening bolt that is threadedly connected to the adjusting seat 21 is provided in the adjusting groove 43. Since there is a certain angle between the connection relationship between the first part 34 and the second part 35, the adjusting screw 42 and the adjusting block 41 are used to drive the adjusting seat 21 to rotate on the connecting seat 20, so that the corresponding connection angle can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the connecting seat 20 and the adjusting seat 21 are fixed by the fastening bolt. Therefore, the connecting seat 20 must be provided with an adjusting groove 43 to facilitate the sliding of the fastening bolt.
[0053] In some embodiments, the second large clamp component 14 includes a nut detection structure, which includes a detection bracket 44, a mounting sleeve 45, a limiting sleeve 46, a detection rod 47, a detection spring 48, a limiting ring 49, and a proximity switch 50. The mounting sleeve 45 is fixed on the first clamping table 3 by the detection bracket 44. The limiting sleeve 46 is provided inside the upper end of the mounting sleeve 45. The detection rod 47 is slidably arranged inside the limiting sleeve 46. The upper end of the detection rod 47 passes through the limiting sleeve 46 and cooperates with the detection nut 51. The lower end of the detection rod 47 passes through the limiting ring 49 and cooperates with the proximity switch 50. The proximity switch 50 is fixedly arranged on the lower end of the mounting sleeve 45. The detection spring 48 is sleeved on the detection rod 47, with one end pressing against the detection rod 47 and the other end pressing against the limiting ring 49. The function of the detection bracket 44 is to install the mounting sleeve 45 on the first fixture table 3. The mounting sleeve 45 is used to install the limit sleeve 46 and the proximity switch 50. The proximity switch 50 is existing technology and is electrically connected to the control center. The limit sleeve 46 is used to install the detection rod 47, the detection spring 48, and the limit ring 49. Under the action of the detection spring 48 and the limit ring 49, the detection rod 47 extends upward and will not contact the proximity switch 50. When the detection nut 51 is present, the detection nut 51 presses against the detection rod 47, and the detection rod 47 will be detected by the proximity switch 50, indicating that the detection nut 51 is present. When the detection nut 51 is not present, the detection rod 47 will not be pressed and will not be detected by the proximity switch 50, indicating that the detection nut 51 is not present and needs to be installed. After the detection nut 51 is installed, the loading frame 1 will rotate, and welding will then proceed.
[0054] In some embodiments, the second clamping assembly 6 includes a third part holder 52, a first clamping member 53, a second clamping member 54, a third clamping member 55, a third detection sensor 56, and a fourth detection sensor 57. The third part holder 52, the first clamping member 53, the second clamping member 54, and the third clamping member 55 are all fixedly mounted on the first clamping table 3. The first clamping member 53 fastens the third part 58 to the third part holder 52, the second clamping member 54 fastens the fourth part 59 to the third part 58, and the third clamping member 55 fastens the fifth part 60 to the third part 58. The first clamping member 53 is provided with a third detection sensor 56 for detecting the third part 58, and the second clamping member 54 is provided with a fourth detection sensor 57 for detecting the fourth part 59. The third part holder 52 supports the third part 58. The fourth part 59 and the fifth part 60 need to be welded on the third part 58. The first clamping component 53, the second clamping component 54, the third detection sensor 56, and the fourth detection sensor 57 are all existing technologies and are electrically connected to the control center. When the third detection sensor 56 detects the third part 58, it transmits a signal to the control center. The control center controls the first clamping component 53 to clamp the third part 58. When the fourth detection sensor 57 detects the fourth part 59, it transmits a signal to the control center. The control center controls the second clamping component 54 to press the fourth part 59 onto the third part 58. Since the welding robot will be blocked by the third clamping component 55 when welding the third part 58 and the fourth part 59, after the welding between the third part 58 and the fourth part 59 is completed, the third clamping component 55 then presses the fifth part 60 onto the third part 58 for welding.
[0055] In some embodiments, the third clamping component 55 includes a tilting cylinder 61, a clamping seat 62, a clamping seat 63, a positioning end 64, a pressing end 65, a pressing rod 66, a pressing cylinder 67, and a fifth detection sensor 68. The fixing part of the tilting cylinder 61 is fixedly mounted on the first clamping table 3. The clamping seat 62 is fixedly mounted on the output part of the tilting cylinder 61. The clamping seat 63 is fixedly mounted on the clamping seat 62 and is used to mount the fifth part 60. The positioning end 64 is fixedly mounted on the clamping seat 62 and cooperates with one end of the fifth part 60. The pressing end 65 is fixedly mounted on one end of the pressing rod 66 and cooperates with the other end of the fifth part 60. The middle part of the pressing rod 66 is hinged to the clamping seat 62. The other end of the pressing rod 66 is hinged to one end of the pressing cylinder 67. The other end of the pressing cylinder 67 is hinged to the clamping seat 62. The fifth detection sensor 68 is fixedly mounted on the clamping seat 63 and cooperates with the fifth part 60. The tilting cylinder 61, the clamping cylinder 67, and the fifth detection sensor 68 are all existing technologies. The solenoid valves controlling the tilting cylinder 61 and the clamping cylinder 67, as well as the fifth detection sensor 68, are all electrically connected to the control center. The fifth detection sensor 68 is used to detect whether the fifth part 60 exists on the fixture seat 62. The fixture seat 62, the clamping seat 63, the positioning end 64, the clamping end 65, the clamping rod 66, and the clamping cylinder 67 work together to fix the fifth part 60 on the fixture seat 62. After welding, the fifth part 60 is released. After the welding between the third part 58 and the fourth part 59 is completed, the tilting cylinder 61 is controlled to press the fifth part 60 onto the third part 58 for welding. After welding, the clamping cylinder 67 first releases the fifth part 60, and then controls the tilting cylinder 61 to move away from the fifth part 60.
[0056] In some embodiments, a safety guard plate 75 is fixedly installed on the loading frame 1. A first clamping platform 3 and a second clamping platform 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the safety guard plate 75. A protective cover 76, which cooperates with the rotating seat 73, is fixedly installed on the lower side of the safety guard plate 75. The base 72 and the rotating drive component 74 are both installed inside the protective cover 76. The welding process is performed by a robot, while the loading and unloading of parts is done manually by workers. The safety guard plate 75 isolates the light generated during welding, protecting the workers' eyes. The base 72 and the rotating seat 73 rotate relative to each other to prevent workers from accidentally putting their hands between them and injuring themselves. The protective cover 76 protects the workers. Since the rotating drive component 74 generates heat during operation, heat dissipation openings are provided on the protective cover 76 for effective heat dissipation.
[0057] In some embodiments, two detection blocks 77 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating base 73, and the line connecting the two detection blocks 77 passes through the axis of the rotating base 73. Two sixth detection sensors 78 are provided on the base 72, each cooperating with one of the two detection blocks 77. A worker detection sensor 79 is provided at the door of the safety room 71. The sixth detection sensors 78 are laser detection sensors in the prior art and are electrically connected to the control center. The two sixth detection sensors 78 cooperate with the two detection blocks 77 respectively. When the rotating base 73 rotates 180 degrees forward, one detection block 77 cooperates with one sixth detection sensor 78; when the rotating base 73 rotates 180 degrees in the reverse direction, the other detection block 77 cooperates with the other sixth detection sensor 78. When a detection block 77 cooperates with a sixth detection sensor 78, the signal from the sixth detection sensor 78 is transmitted to the control center. The control center controls the rotation drive 74 to stop driving the rotating base 73 to rotate. When the rotating base 73 stops, processing, welding, and parts loading and unloading are performed. The worker detection sensor 79 is an infrared sensor in the prior art. The function of the worker detection sensor 79 is to confirm whether the operator has left the safety room 71. After leaving the safety room 71, the signal is transmitted to the control center, which then controls the rotary drive 74 to drive the rotary seat 73 to rotate.
