Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, specifically to an automatic welding equipment for circumferential seams using a hydraulic tilting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The working principle of a hydraulic tilting machine is based on hydraulic oil as a power source. A hydraulic pump delivers hydraulic oil to both sides of the cylinder, causing the piston on the cylinder to move up and down. This force is transmitted to the tilting device through a lever mechanism, thus tilting the object.
[0003] As the core component of the hydraulic tilting mechanism, the oil cylinder often requires circumferential welding at the connection point of the two cylinder sections to form a complete cylinder body when the two cylinder sections are combined into one cylinder body, so as to form a stable cylinder body.
[0004] Referring to the patent application with publication number CN209936157U, an automatic circumferential welding machine for water tank processing is described. By setting up a welding gas filtration structure, it can filter and absorb dust and harmful gases generated during the welding process in a timely manner, reducing the content of welding dust and harmful gases in the air of the work area, ensuring a healthy and clean working environment, and thus reducing the threat of welding exhaust gas to the health of workers. The shock absorption structure reduces the impact of vibration generated during the rotation of the water tank on the welding process, so that the welding head can more accurately fit the position to be welded, improving the welding precision, ensuring product quality, and reducing the manufacturer's profit loss.
[0005] Existing automatic circumferential welding equipment mostly uses clamping fixtures to hold and fix the two ends of the workpieces to be welded during circumferential welding. However, when the clamping fixtures rotate the workpieces, the weld positions of the two workpieces are prone to shaking and displacement during rotation, resulting in uneven welds and affecting the structural strength of the welded area. Secondly, under the high temperature of the welding torch, the metal around the weld is easily melted, and the excess metal and oxides accumulate on the weld, forming burrs on the outer surface, which not only affects the flatness of the weld. In addition to smoothness, it is also easy to generate stress concentration at the tip, which reduces the structural strength of the weld. The weld position still needs to be ground afterward before the next processing step, thus increasing the processing steps and workload. For example, according to the automatic circumferential welding machine for water tank processing with reference to the publication number CN209936157U, the welding machine only clamps the two ends of the water tank. The circumferential seam to be welded is very easy to shake during the rotation of the water tank, which causes the weld position to shift and misalign, resulting in uneven weld and thus affecting the structural strength of the weld position.
[0006] Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic welding device for circumferential seams using a hydraulic tilting mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automatic circumferential welding device with a hydraulic tilting mechanism. This device solves the problem that when existing clamping fixtures rotate the workpiece, the weld seam position of the two workpiece segments is prone to wobbling and displacement during rotation, resulting in uneven weld seams and affecting the structural strength of the welded area. Furthermore, under the high temperature of the welding torch, the metal around the weld seam is easily melted, and excess metal and oxides accumulate on the weld seam, forming burrs on the outer surface. This not only affects the flatness and smoothness of the weld seam but also easily causes stress concentration at the tip, reducing the structural strength of the weld seam. Post-weld grinding is still required, increasing processing steps and workload.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydraulic tilting mechanism oil cylinder automatic welding equipment for circumferential seams, comprising a welding table and two sliding tables fixedly disposed on both sides of the top of the welding table, and further comprising:

[0017] Furthermore, the power assembly includes a driven gear fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission shaft and a motor fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the second transmission box.

[0018] Furthermore, the contour lifting assembly includes a support column that slides through the cover plate and a guide block fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support column. The top of the support column is provided with a lifting platform for supporting the cylinder section.
[0019] The lifting platform includes a U-shaped seat that is detachably mounted on top of a support column. The top two sides of the U-shaped seat are provided with mounting slots, and multiple guide wheels are rotatably mounted inside each mounting slot.
[0020] A through groove is provided on the outer wall of the support column, and toothed plates are fixedly provided on both sides of the inner wall of the through groove.

[0025] This invention provides an automatic welding device for circumferential seams using a hydraulic tilting mechanism. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0026] 1. An automatic welding equipment for circumferential seams of hydraulic cylinders with a hydraulic tilting mechanism, by setting up a lifting mechanism, can form an upward lifting support at the weld position of the two cylinder sections before welding, thereby preventing the weld position from shifting due to shaking during the rotation of the two cylinder sections and ensuring the quality of the circumferential seam welding. Moreover, in the lifting mechanism, through the joint cooperation of a deburring component and multiple contouring lifting components, the outer contour of the cylinder section can be simulated and contoured before forming support for the cylinder section. This allows the top of the deburring component and some contouring lifting components to form a contour shape that matches the cylinder section, so that the top of the lifting mechanism can form a ring-shaped wrap around the lower part of the cylinder section, forming a stable lifting support, thereby effectively preventing the two cylinder sections from shaking during rotation. Furthermore, the simulated contour shape formed by the top of the lifting mechanism can be reused when processing cylinder sections of the same batch, saving adjustment time.
[0027] 2. An automatic welding device for the circumferential seam of a hydraulic tilting mechanism cylinder, by setting a burr removal component, when the lifting component forms bottom support for the cylinder section, the burr removal component can be located directly below the welded circumferential seam. It can work with multiple contoured lifting components on both sides to form simulated support for the cylinder section. Moreover, while supporting the cylinder section, the burr removal component can use a high-speed rotating grinding wheel to grind the welded circumferential seam, thereby removing metal burrs and welding slag generated by welding, making the weld seam flat and smooth, avoiding stress concentration at the tip, and ensuring the connection strength of the weld seam.
[0028] 3. A hydraulic tilting mechanism cylinder circumferential welder, by setting a drive component, can simultaneously and quickly lock the positions of the burr removal component and the multiple contour lifting components after multiple contour lifting components and burr removal components form a contour shape that matches the outer wall of the cylinder section, thereby memorizing and locking the formed contour shape, so that it can continue to be used in the subsequent processing of the cylinder section, thus avoiding the need for repeated adjustment of the lifting mechanism, simplifying the operation steps, and improving the efficiency of automatic circumferential welder.

The output shaft of the motor 6610 rotatably passes through the second transmission box 663 and is fixedly mounted with a drive gear 6611. A toothed belt 6612 for transmitting power is mounted on the outer walls of both the drive gear 6611 and the driven gear 669. The lifting rod 665 slides through the mounting box 62 and extends into the movable gap 63. Both the first transmission box 662 and the second transmission box 663 slide through the cover plate 65 and extend to the outside.
[0059] like Figure 13 The fourth embodiment is shown, which differs from the third embodiment in that: a hydraulic tilting mechanism cylinder circumferential welder, the contour lifting assembly 67 includes a support column 671 that slides through the cover plate 65 and a guide block 672 fixedly disposed on the side wall of the support column 671. The top of the support column 671 is provided with a lifting platform for supporting the cylinder section; the top of the cover plate 65 is evenly provided with through holes for the support column 671 to rise and fall freely, and the inner wall of the through hole is provided with a limiting groove that matches the guide block 672. The guide block 672 is slidably disposed inside the limiting groove. The lifting platform includes a U-shaped seat 673 detachably mounted on top of the support column 671. Mounting slots 674 are provided on both sides of the top of the U-shaped seat 673. Multiple guide wheels 675 are rotatably mounted inside each mounting slot 674. The tops of the guide wheels 675 protrude from the mounting slots 674, allowing them to contact the outer wall of the cylinder section. A through groove 676 is provided on the outer wall of the support column 671. Toothed plates 677 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the through groove 676. A lifting rod 678 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support column 671. A spring 679 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the lifting rod 678, located between the support column 671 and the mounting box 62.
[0060] like Figures 14-18The fifth embodiment is shown, differing from the fourth embodiment in that: a hydraulic tilting mechanism cylinder automatic welding equipment for circumferential seams, the drive assembly 68 includes a first limiting plate assembly and a second limiting plate assembly arranged opposite each other, the first and second limiting plate assemblies having identical structures, and a push rod assembly for pushing the two away from each other is also provided between the first and second limiting plate assemblies. The first limiting plate assembly includes a long strip plate 681 with both ends slidably disposed inside two movable slots 69, the side walls of the long strip plate 681 near the second limiting plate assembly are fixedly provided with arc-shaped protrusions 682 for use with the push rod assembly, a plurality of positioning racks 683 are evenly provided on the outer wall of the long strip plate 681 away from the arc-shaped protrusions 682, and guide rods 684 are fixedly provided on both ends of the side walls of the long strip plate 681 away from the second limiting plate assembly, the outer walls of the guide rods 684 are slidably sleeved with springs 685. Each movable groove 69 has movable through holes on both sides of its inner wall. One end of each guide rod 684 is slidably disposed in one of the movable through holes. The spring 685 is located between the movable groove 69 and the long strip 681. A positioning rack 683 is correspondingly provided at the positions of the toothed plate 664 and the toothed plate 677. When the positioning rack 683 engages with the toothed plate 677 or the toothed plate 664, the positions of the burr removal component 66 and the contour lifting components 67 at multiple positions are locked. When the positioning rack 683 disengages from the toothed plate 677 or the toothed plate 664, the positions of the burr removal component 66 and the contour lifting components 67 at multiple positions are freely movable. The wedge block 688 has a sloping design on both sides of its outer wall. In the initial position, the arc-shaped protrusions 682 on the first and second limiting plate assemblies are only attached to the lower part of the sloping surface of the wedge block 688 at the corresponding position. The screw 686 and the wedge block 688 are connected by threads. The push rod assembly includes a screw 686 and a guide rod 687 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting box 62. Both sides of the outer wall of the screw 686 and the guide rod 687 are fitted with a wedge block 688 for pushing the first and second limiting plate assemblies away from each other. One end of the screw 686 rotatably passes through the mounting box 62 and is fixedly mounted with a handwheel 689. A crossbar is provided inside the annular ring of the handwheel 689. The crossbar is horizontal when the handwheel 689 is in its original state, that is, when it is not turned. At this time, the drive assembly 68 does not lock the position of the deburring assembly 66 and the contour lifting assembly 67. When the crossbar is rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the horizontal state, the drive assembly 68 locks the position of the deburring assembly 66 and the contour lifting assembly 67. A control box is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the welding table 1. The control box also contains a controller for controlling the operation of all electrical equipment.
[0061] When in use: First, adjust the distance between the No. 2 chuck 5 and the No. 1 chuck 3 according to the length of the hydraulic cylinder section of the hydraulic tilting mechanism, so as to ensure that the two cylinder sections are clamped by the No. 1 chuck 3 and the No. 2 chuck 5 respectively, and the parts to be welded at both ends can abut against each other.
[0062] When adjusting the position of the bearing seat 4, the cylinder section to be welded needs to be pre-clamped in the first chuck 3 and the second chuck 5 until the bearing seat 4 is pushed to slide along the outer wall of the slide table 2 until the ends of the two cylinder sections abut against each other. At this time, mark the position of the bearing seat 4 on the slide table 2, and at the same time lock the bearing seat 4 on the slide table 2 with the fastening bolts. Then remove the cylinder section from the first chuck 3 and the bearing seat 4. It should be noted that the outer diameters of the two cylinder sections are the same.
[0063] Next, one of the cylinder sections is placed in the middle of the top of the lifting mechanism 6. Then, the cylinder section is gently pressed down. After the top of the burr removal assembly 66 and the top of the contour lifting assembly 67 located on both sides of the burr removal assembly 66 are subjected to the pressure of the outer wall of the cylinder section, the first transmission box 662 and the second transmission box 663 in the burr removal assembly 66 move downward along the inner wall of the cover plate 65. The bottom end of the lifting rod 665 continues to move downward in the movement gap 63, and the spring 666 is gradually compressed. At the same time, the top of the guide wheel 675 is subjected to the downward pressure of the outer wall of the cylinder section. The support column 671 moves downward along the inner wall of the cover plate 65. The bottom end of the lifting rod 678 continues to move downward in the movement gap 63, and the spring 679 is gradually compressed.
[0064] While gently pressing down on the cylinder section, observe whether one end of the cylinder section is aligned with the center position of chuck 3 or chuck 5. Once one end of the cylinder section is aligned with the center position of chuck 3 or chuck 5, turn the handwheel 689 clockwise to 90 degrees. As the handwheel 689 rotates the screw 686, the wedge blocks 688 at both positions move to one side simultaneously, driven by the screw 686. The corresponding arc-shaped protrusions 682 gradually rise from the lower position to the higher position along the slope of the wedge block 688. The first limit plate assembly... The No. 2 limiting plate assembly moves away from each other simultaneously under the push of the two wedge blocks 688 until the handwheel 689 rotates ninety degrees. At this time, the positioning racks 683 at multiple positions mesh with the toothed plate 664 in the burr removal assembly 66 and the toothed plate 677 in the contour lifting assembly 67 at the corresponding positions. At this time, the positions of the burr removal assembly 66 and part of the contour lifting assembly 67, which are squeezed by the cylinder section, are fixed. The top of the part of the contour lifting assembly 67 and the burr removal assembly 66 together form an arc surface that matches the outline of the cylinder section.
[0065] Next, two sections of the cylinder to be welded are clamped in chuck 3 and chuck 5 respectively. Then, the lifting mechanism 6 is pushed to the left or right along the outer wall of the slide table 2 so that the bottom of the deburring component 66 is directly opposite the circumferential seam of the two cylinder sections. At this time, the top of the grinding wheel 668 abuts against the circumferential seam at the bottom of the two cylinder sections.
[0066] Next, the linear module 7 is started through the control box. The linear module 7 drives the welding torch 8 to move according to the preset program until the welding torch 8 reaches the circumferential seam position at the connection of the two cylinder sections. At this time, the motor has driven the first chuck 3 to rotate at a low and uniform speed. The welding torch 8 continuously welds the rotating circumferential seam. At the same time, the motor 6610 drives the driven gear 669 to rotate through the drive gear 6611 and the toothed belt 6612. As a result, the transmission shaft 667 drives the grinding wheel 668 to rotate rapidly. The burrs and welding slag generated by welding at the circumferential seam position are ground and removed by the grinding wheel 668, and the circumferential seam position presents a flat and smooth state.
