This welding robot can replace manual labor for precise and efficient welding operations.

[0003] When the automatic welding robot welds two bellows together or welds a bellows to a joint, part of the laser will be reflected from the welding surface due to the certain reflectivity of the metal surface to the laser. If the energy of the reflected laser is large enough and the reflection direction points to the metal bellows part near the weld, it may cause damage to it. In addition, during the welding process, due to the violent fluctuation of the molten pool and the arc force (if it is arc welding) or laser evaporation (if it is laser welding), welding spatter will be generated. These spatters are mainly small molten metal particles. These spatters can easily damage the bellows.

The two grooves 803 are both annular in shape, and the inner walls of the two grooves 803 are both provided with teeth meshing with the gear 802; the clamping mechanism 9 includes a fixing ring 901, one side of the fixing ring 901 is fixedly connected to the closing box 5, a driving ring 902 is sleeved on the fixing ring 901 and is threadedly connected to it, and a ring-shaped sliding rod 903 is inserted on the fixing ring 901, and a driving groove 904 is provided on the inner side of the driving ring 902, and the driving groove 904 is shaped like a trumpet, one end of the sliding rod 903 is in contact with the inner wall of the driving groove 904, and the other end of the sliding rod 903 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 905, and one side of the clamping plate 905 is slidably connected to the closing box 5.

[0019] In the present invention, when welding two metal bellows or welding a metal bellows to a joint, firstly, the metal bellows or the joint is inserted into the closing box 5, the diameter of the closing box 5 is matched with the metal bellows and the joint, and a sealing ring is arranged on the inner side of the closing box 5, which is used to seal between the closing box 5 and the metal bellows or the joint, and can avoid damage to the metal bellows. After the metal bellows or the joint is inserted into the closing box 5, the two metal bellows or a metal bellows and the joint will contact each other, and the contacting part is the position of the weld to be welded. The user can change the position of the weld by pushing the metal bellows, and place the weld position in the gap between the two closing boxes 5. At this time, the welding gun 10 located between the two closing boxes 5 will just align with the weld, thereby completing the positioning of the metal bellows or the joint.

[0020] After the positioning is completed, the user rotates the two driving rings 902, and the two driving rings 902 will move toward each other along the fixed ring 901. During the movement of the driving ring 902, the arc surface of the driving groove 904 will squeeze the sliding rod 903. After being squeezed, the sliding rod 903 will drive the clamping plate 905 to slide along the closing box 5. After all the clamping plates 905 are tightly attached to the metal bellows or joints, the metal bellows or joints are clamped and fixed. At this time, the preparation work before welding is completed.

[0021] Then turn on the welding gun 10, and the welding gun 10 performs laser welding on the metal bellows or the joint. During the process, the user turns on the motor 801 to drive the gear 802 to rotate. The gear 802 meshes with the teeth on the inner side of the groove 803, so after the motor 801 is turned on, it will drive the track ring 6 to rotate. After the track ring 6 rotates, it will rotate along the inner wall of the track groove 7. During the process, the track ring 6 will drive the closing box 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the closing box 5, it will drive the metal bellows or the joint to rotate, thereby changing the welding area. When the closing box 5 rotates one circle, the welding of the two metal bellows or the metal bellows and the joint is completed.

[0022] During the welding process, the user opens the solenoid valve 20. At this time, the argon gas in the gas tank 18 will enter the air inlet box 14 from the gas filling pipe 19. The argon gas will then be pumped into the closed space composed of the support ring 4, two closing boxes 5 and two blocks 11 by the air pump 15 through the air inlet pipe 12. The argon gas will then be pumped out by the air pump 15 on the air outlet pipe 13. The argon gas will pass through the welding area during the flow. The argon gas can prevent oxidation and stabilize the arc, thereby effectively improving the welding effect.

[0023] During the flow of argon gas, it will drive the spatter generated by welding, thereby effectively reducing the damage caused by spatter to metal bellows or joints, and can reduce the occurrence of spatter falling on the subsequent welding seam area, thereby reducing the impact of spatter on welding and improving the quality of welding.

[0024] Moreover, during the welding process, the welding gun 10 will be located in a closed space formed by the support ring 4, two closing boxes 5 and two blocks 11, and the reflected laser generated by the welding will be trapped. The reflected laser cannot contact the metal bellows or joints, thereby protecting the metal bellows or joints.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 6 , wherein: the top end of the air outlet pipe 13 is connected with a filter box 21, the front of the filter box 21 is interspersed with a filter plate 22 and an active layer 23 which are slidably connected thereto, and the back of the filter box 21 is provided with an air outlet groove 24; the back of the filter box 21 is fixedly connected with a mounting box 25, the inner wall of the mounting box 25 is fixedly connected with a moisture absorption layer 26, and the back of the mounting box 25 is connected with an exhaust pipe 27; the exhaust pipe 27 is connected with a return pipe 28, one end of the back of the return pipe 28 is connected with the air inlet box 14, and both the return pipe 28 and the exhaust pipe 27 are equipped with a solenoid valve three 29.

[0026] In the present invention, during the welding process, the user closes the solenoid valve three 29 on the exhaust pipe 27 and opens the solenoid valve three 29 on the return pipe 28. At this time, the argon gas discharged from the gas tank 18 flows through the welding area and enters the filter box 21. The splashes brought by the argon gas will be filtered by the filter plate 22 and the active layer 23 in the installation box 25, and the fixed hygroscopic layer 26 in the installation box 25 can filter the moisture in the exhaust gas, thereby achieving the effect of exhaust gas treatment. There is a certain concentration of argon gas in the treated exhaust gas. At this time, the argon gas will re-enter the air inlet box 14 and re-enter the welding space to prevent oxidation and stabilize the arc. In this process, the solenoid valve two 20 is closed to stop the release of argon gas, so that an appropriate amount of argon gas is allowed to flow between the air inlet pipe 12 and the air outlet pipe 13. The argon gas circulates in the air, thereby effectively reducing the use of argon gas. The argon gas is reused by filtering out spatter, moisture and harmful substances in the argon gas. The exhausted argon gas contains a certain temperature. The reused argon gas enters the welding area from the air inlet pipe 12 and sprays onto the surface of the weld to be welded subsequently. The temperature of the argon gas can preheat the metal bellows and joints in the weld area, thereby effectively reducing welding stress and deformation. Preheating can improve the crystallization condition of the weld metal. When welding is performed in the preheated weld area, the cooling rate of the weld metal will slow down, which is beneficial to the grain refinement in the weld metal, thereby improving the strength of the material, and also improving the toughness, so that the weld is not easy to break when subjected to external force, and reducing the generation of cracks in the weld, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0027] See also Figure 6 , wherein: the back of the air inlet box 14 is connected to a conduit 16 , a solenoid valve 17 is installed on the conduit 16 , and an electric heating rod 30 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet box 14 .

[0028] In the present invention, after completing the clamping and positioning of the metal bellows or joint, the user closes the solenoid valve 20 and the solenoid valve 3 29 on the return pipe 28, and opens the solenoid valve 3 29 and the solenoid valve 1 17 on the exhaust pipe 27. At this time, the two air pumps 15 are turned on, and the outside air will enter the air intake box 14 from the conduit 16, and the air will be sprayed from the air intake pipe 12 to the weld area of ​​the bellows. The air will blow away the dust attached to the weld surface. At this time, the user turns on the motor 801 to indirectly drive the bellows to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the entire weld, effectively avoiding the situation where oil and dust at the weld affect subsequent welding. During the cleaning process, turning on the electric heating rod 30 can heat the air. The heated air helps to clean the weld of the bellows, and can also preheat the bellows, which is beneficial to improving the quality of bellows welding.

[0029] See also Figure 3 and 6 , wherein: an infrared absorption sensor 31 is installed on the inner wall of the air intake box 14, a controller 32 is installed on the air intake box 14, and the output end of the controller 32 is respectively connected to the solenoid valve 20, the solenoid valve 3 29 and the solenoid valve 1 17 signal.

[0030] In the present invention, the infrared absorption sensor 31 installed on the inner wall of the air inlet box 14 can detect the argon content in the gas that is reused after filtration. If the argon content is lower than the minimum value, the solenoid valve three 29 on the return pipe 28 is closed, and the solenoid valve three 29 and the solenoid valve two 20 on the exhaust pipe 27 are opened. The circulating gas will be discharged from the exhaust pipe 27, and new argon will be re-injected into the welding area from the air inlet pipe 12. After the circulating gas is discharged, the solenoid valve three 29 on the return pipe 28 is reopened and the solenoid valve three 29 and the solenoid valve two 20 on the exhaust pipe 27 are closed, so that the gas can be recycled again, thereby maintaining sufficient argon content in the welding area and improving the welding stability of the device.

[0031] See also Figure 6 , wherein: an electric push rod 33 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 3 is inserted, the top of the electric push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the welding gun 10, the outer side of the welding gun 10 is slidingly connected to the fixed plate 3 and the support ring 4 respectively, and a distance sensor 34 is installed on the inner side of the support ring 4, and the output end of the distance sensor 34 is connected to the controller 32 signal.

[0032] In the present invention, during the welding process, the distance sensor 34 will detect the distance between the distance to the weld seam, and then know the length of the weld seam from the welding gun 10. When the corrugated tube is not a perfect circle, the distance between the welding gun 10 and the weld seam of the corrugated tube will change during welding. At this time, the electric push rod 33 can drive the welding gun 10 to rise and fall, thereby changing the distance between the welding gun 10 and the weld seam, and controlling the welding gun 10 to always maintain a normal distance from the weld seam, which can effectively improve the quality of the bellows welding and avoid the situation where the bellows is not a perfect circle and the welding quality is reduced.

[0033] See also Figure 5 , 8 9, wherein: the bottom of the support ring 4 is connected with a vertical pipe 35, the vertical pipe 35 is connected with a cleaning pipe 36 and a feeding pipe 37, valves 38 are installed on the vertical pipe 35, the cleaning pipe 36 and the feeding pipe 37, an observation port 39 is opened on the support ring 4, a transparent plate 40 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation port 39, and an air pressure sensor 41 is installed on the inner wall of the support ring 4.

[0034] In the present invention, after the first welding is completed, acid or alkali solution is flushed into the support ring 4 through the feeding pipe 37 (selected according to the need to clean the welding slag), and the acid or alkali solution will gather in the annular space formed by the support ring 4 and the closing box 5. The cross-sectional shape of the track ring 6 is set in a T-shape, which can effectively realize the sealing treatment between the support ring 4 and the closing box 5. For example, until the acid or alkali solution fills 80% of the space of the support ring 4 (the filling ratio of the acid or alkali solution is adjustable), a part of the area at the bottom of the welding gun 10 is reserved, and then the solenoid valve 2 20 on the gas filling pipe 19 is opened, and the solenoid valve 1 17 and the solenoid valve 3 29 are closed. At this time, nitrogen will be injected into the reserved part, and the air pressure sensor 41 will perform air pressure detection on the nitrogen. By observing the change in the pressure value, it can be determined whether there is leakage in the weld within a specific range. In conjunction with the rotation of the pipe, the sealing of the weld after the first welding in a specific range can be determined in batches. The acid or alkali solution can clean the welding slag during the rolling process. In the above, the immersion process of acid cleaning or alkali cleaning is carried out simultaneously with the detection of the tightness of the weld in the range, which is more efficient. In addition, the nitrogen gas is stable in nature and is not suitable for reacting with acid or alkali, which provides good conditions for batch detection of pipe welds. After that, whether the weld tightness is unqualified or qualified, the valve 38 on the vertical pipe 35 is opened to discharge the acid or alkali solution together with the welding slag. Then, the valve 38 on the cleaning pipe 36 is opened, and the cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning pipe 36 to rinse the acid or alkali solution attached to the bellows and the equipment. If it is qualified, it can be directly taken out. If it is unqualified, it can be washed with clean water. After drying, it is convenient for the subsequent repair welding operation to be carried out. When an unqualified situation is detected, the user observes the bellows through the transparent plate 40 to determine the problem of the weld, which is convenient for accurate repair welding and improves the practicality of the device.

[0035] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
