[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0044] The present invention provides a blade welding device, comprising:
[0045] The loading area is set on one side of the welding area, and the unloading area is set on the other side of the welding area. The loading area, welding area and unloading area are all operated by robots;
[0046] The wire changing component is arranged in the welding area, and the wire changing component includes a welding wire posture adjustment structure, a welding wire drum, a welding wire feeding structure and a welding wire limiting structure arranged from top to bottom. The bottom small hole of the welding wire drum matches the diameter size of a welding wire, and the welding wire feeding structure is arranged correspondingly to the bottom small hole of the welding wire drum;
[0047] When the welding wire passes through the wire feeding structure, the welding wire moves downward until it reaches the sensing area of the sensing switch;
[0048] When the welding wire barrel is stuck, the welding wire posture adjustment structure adjusts the welding wire in the welding wire barrel.
[0049] Specifically, the welding device is provided with a loading area, a welding area and a unloading area. The blade to be welded is grabbed by a robot from the loading area to the welding area, and then the surface of the blade is welded by the robot in the welding area. After welding is completed, the blade welding assembly is transferred from the welding area to the unloading area by the robot in the unloading area to complete the blade welding operation. Among them, a wire changing component corresponding to the welding robot is provided in the welding area, which can improve the wire changing efficiency of the welding robot and the welding efficiency of the entire blade, so as to meet the mass production requirements of the blade; a plurality of welding wires are placed in the welding wire barrel, and the welding wires are exposed one by one from the small hole at the bottom by gravity. When the leaked welding wire contacts the welding wire feeding structure, the welding wire is controlled by the welding wire feeding structure to ensure that the welding wire can be introduced into the welding gun of the welding robot. After the welding wire enters the welding robot, the welding wire is driven by the welding wire feeding part in the welding robot to continue to be transmitted downward until the welding wire contacts the welding wire limiting structure. This shows that The welding wire is installed in place on the welding robot, and the welding end of the welding wire reaches the zero position on the welding robot, so that the wire changing component stops leaking wire, and the welding robot leaves the wire changing component and starts to weld the blade to be welded; in the process of wire leakage in the welding wire barrel, multiple welding wires will interfere with each other and get stuck at the bottom of the welding wire barrel, so the welding wire posture adjustment structure above the welding wire barrel can be used to clamp and fix all the welding wires in the welding wire barrel, grab all the welding wires upward, and then release the welding wires in the air, so that the welding wires will not interfere with each other when they enter the welding wire barrel again. After adjusting the welding wires for many times, the welding wire will leak out of the small hole at the bottom of the welding wire barrel.
[0050] Optionally, the welding wire barrel is a structure of a top cylinder and a bottom cone, the top of the cylinder is open, and the small hole is centrally arranged at the bottom of the cone.
[0051] Specifically, the welding wire drum is configured to have an open structure at both ends. The top of the welding wire drum is a large cylindrical cross-section that can accommodate multiple welding wires into the welding wire drum. A small hole that allows only one welding wire to pass through is provided at the bottom of the welding wire drum. In this way, the welding wire drum can install each welding wire on the welding robot in sequence and ensure that the welding wire is installed accurately on the welding robot.
[0052] Optionally, the welding wire posture adjustment structure includes a lifting cylinder and a clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder is arranged on the welding wire barrel through the lifting cylinder. The clamping cylinder reciprocates in the vertical direction above the welding wire barrel. When the welding wire barrel is stuck, the clamping cylinder adjusts the welding wire in the welding wire barrel.
[0053] Optionally, the induction switch is arranged below the welding wire barrel.
[0054] Specifically, when the welding wire barrel is stuck, the two clamping arms on the output end of the clamping cylinder are first separated from each other and switched to the open state, and then the clamping cylinder is driven downward by the lifting cylinder to make the two clamping arms located on the outside of the welding wire. Next, the two clamping arms are closed to clamp all the welding wires and driven upward by the lifting cylinder. When all the welding wires are separated from the bottom cone of the welding wire barrel, the two clamping arms of the clamping cylinder are opened again, and all the welding wires fall into the welding wire barrel again. The bottom of the welding wire is rearranged in the bottom wall cone of the welding wire barrel, and the above-mentioned welding wire posture adjustment structure is repeated until only one welding wire leaks out through the bottom small hole, and the bottom of the leaked welding wire reaches the welding wire feeding structure. At the same time, the induction switch under the welding wire barrel also detects the passing of the welding wire, so that the welding wire posture adjustment structure will send a signal to stop running. In the device, the welding wire posture adjustment structure cooperates with the induction switch, and the automatic solution and processing of the welding wire jamming situation are realized through a simple induction element, thereby improving the wire changing efficiency of the welding robot arm.
[0055] Optionally, the welding wire feeding structure includes two rollers rotatably arranged on a bracket, and a limiting groove is provided on the outer periphery of the roller. The welding wire passes between the two rollers, and the limiting groove matches the outer peripheral profile of the welding wire.
[0056] Specifically, when welding wire leaks onto the welding wire feeding structure at the bottom of the welding wire tube, the welding robot can move between the welding wire feeding structure and the welding wire limiting structure at any time when there is no welding wire. When the welding robot and the welding wire feeding structure form an upper and lower position relationship, the two relatively fixed rollers rotate relative to each other, and the welding wire passes through the space formed by the limiting groove between the two rollers. The welding wire can be aligned with the wire feeding device of the welding robot, and the welding wire slowly enters the welding robot, and the lower end of the welding wire can also pass through the welding robot and move downward. When the lower end of the welding wire contacts the welding wire limiting structure, it means that the welding wire is installed in place on the welding robot. In this way, the two rollers will stop rotating, and the welding robot will leave the wire changing component and perform build-up welding on the blade to be welded, thereby realizing the step of automatically installing the welding wire.
[0057] Optionally, the loading area includes:
[0058] A loading slide is slidably arranged on the loading bracket, and is used for placing blades to be welded;
[0059] A visual camera is arranged on one side of the feeding bracket, and collects information on the placement status of the blades to be welded;
[0060] The loading robot gripper grabs the blade to be welded based on the information collected by the visual camera.
[0061] Optionally, the unloading area includes:
[0062] A material unloading slide plate is slidably arranged on the material unloading slide rail, a material unloading tray is arranged on the material unloading slide plate, and a plurality of cavities are arranged in the material unloading tray;
[0063] The motor is connected to the unloading slide rail drive;
[0064] The unloading robot gripper grabs the blades from the welding area to the unloading tray.
[0065] Specifically, a loading area and an unloading area are respectively set on both sides of the welding area. In the loading area, the blades to be welded are transported from the manual loading position to the gripping position by the loading slide. During the transportation process, the visual camera will capture the image of the placement posture of the blades, and then send the gripping signal to the loading robot gripper through program conversion. The loading robot gripper will grab the blades to be welded in different positions and then place them correctly in the welding area. When the welding in the welding area is completed, the blade welding assembly is grabbed by the unloading robot gripper and transferred to the unloading tray. When all the cavities in the unloading tray are filled, the motor drives the unloading slide rail to move, and transports the unloading tray full of blades to the manual unloading position to complete the entire welding process of the blades.
[0066] Optionally, the welding area also includes a positioner and a welding robot. The positioner is provided with a turntable. Three fixtures are provided on the turntable. The fixtures are used to clamp and fix the blades. The control unit controls the rotating motor of the welding robot and the turntable. The welding robot includes a visual measurement structure, a molten pool monitoring camera, an anti-collision sensor and a welding gun. The visual measurement structure and the molten pool monitoring camera are facing the nozzle position of the welding gun.
[0067] Specifically, after the loading robot gripper places the blade to be welded on the first fixture, the first fixture will be driven to rotate by the rotating motor, and the first fixture will be rotated to the area close to the welding robot. When the welding robot is performing cladding welding on the blade, the loading robot gripper places another blade to be welded on the second fixture. When the cladding welding of the blade on the first fixture is completed, the turntable continues to be rotated by the rotating motor to rotate the first fixture to the side close to the unloading robot gripper. At the same time, the blade to be welded on the second fixture is rotated to the side close to the robot gripper, and the third fixture without any parts is rotated to the side of the loading robot gripper. At this time, the loading robot gripper loads the parts, the welding robot cladding is performed, and the unloading robot gripper unloads the parts at the same time. The three robot operations are not affected by each other and can form continuous operation. When the loading, welding and unloading operations are completed, the turntable can be driven to rotate again by the rotating motor to repeat the above-mentioned robot operations. In addition, when the welding robot is surfacing the blade, the welding position, welding length and welding quality are visually monitored through the visual measurement structure and the molten pool monitoring camera to ensure that the welding quality meets the requirements. The anti-collision sensor monitors the movement trajectory of the welding robot. When the welding robot comes into contact with other parts, the anti-collision sensor immediately sends a stop signal to the welding robot to avoid damage to the equipment.
[0068] The present invention also provides a blade welding method, using the blade welding device, the welding method comprises:
[0069] The blades to be welded are placed in the loading area, and the robot in the loading area transfers the blades to be welded to the welding area;
[0070] The blade to be welded is welded in the welding area, a welding wire leaks out from the small hole at the bottom of the welding wire tube, and is fed to the robot in the welding area by the welding wire feeding structure, the welding wire passes through the welding robot until the welding wire contacts the welding wire limiting structure, and then the robot in the welding area welds the blade to be welded;
[0071] The robot in the unloading area grabs the blade welding assembly in the welding area and brings it to the unloading area.
[0072] Optionally, when the welding wire tube is stuck, the welding wire posture adjustment structure clamps the welding wire in the welding wire tube, and then drives the welding wire upward through the welding wire posture adjustment structure. Next, the welding wire posture adjustment structure loosens the welding wire, and the above actions are repeated until the welding wire leaks out of the small hole at the bottom of the welding wire tube.
[0073] Specifically, the welding device can realize automatic operation of blade loading, welding and unloading. When the welding robot installs the welding wire, it can also quickly and accurately install a welding wire into the welding robot, so that the welding robot can realize automatic wire changing and welding. When the welding wire barrel is stuck, the welding wire posture adjustment structure can be used to readjust the accumulation of the welding wire in the welding wire barrel to avoid mutual interference when the welding wire leaks out from the small hole in the welding wire barrel.
