Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the production and processing of speed reducers, and more particularly to a welding robot for a speed reducer housing. Background Art

[0002] Welding is an important step to ensure the structural stability and sealing performance of the speed reducer housing, connecting the upper and lower parts of the housing into a whole before assembling the internal parts.

[0003] When welding a speed reducer, it is usually necessary to use a fixture with a robotic arm to place the speed reducer housing on the welding table. Subsequently, the fixture on the welding table is used to fix the speed reducer housing, and then the welding operation is carried out. Since the two sides of the speed reducer housing without openings are usually uneven and have ribs, they cannot be directly clamped and fixed from these two sides. Therefore, when the speed reducer housing welding table fixes the speed reducer housing from the two sides with openings and flat surfaces, it is necessary to additionally increase a robotic arm for adjustment, calibration, and alignment, which further increases the problem of the increase of the robotic arm. Moreover, metal debris and dust will adhere to the surfaces of the upper and lower parts of the speed reducer housing during the processing. At the same time, the existing robotic arm cannot clean the speed reducer housing when clamping it, so it is also necessary to increase a cleaning robotic arm for cleaning. Therefore, in order to ensure the welding quality and the subsequent installation of the sealing ring and bearing, it is also necessary to manually clean the seams before welding, which is not conducive to the efficiency of the speed reducer housing welding work.

[0018] As described above, the characteristics and advantages of a reducer housing welding robot in the present invention are:

[0019] Through the setting of the arc-shaped blocks, when the lead screw slides towards the reducer housing driven by the fixed disk, it drives the central shaft to rotate, causing the four sliding shafts to expand in cooperation with the first chute. The arc-shaped blocks contact the inner arc surface of the opening of the reducer housing, and during the process of the four arc-shaped blocks expanding, the inner arc surface of the opening of the reducer housing gradually fits the circle formed by the four arc-shaped blocks. When the two groups of arc-shaped blocks are tightened from the two openings on both sides of the reducer housing, the top shell of the reducer housing is completely aligned with the bottom shell of the reducer housing. Compared with the existing reducer housing welding and clamping robot, during the clamping process, the uneven sides of the bottom shell and the top shell of the reducer housing with reinforcing ribs can be aligned, facilitating subsequent welding work and improving the welding accuracy at the same time;

[0020] Through the setting of the clamping arms, the two groups of clamping arms gradually move towards the reducer housing from both sides of the reducer housing and gradually clamp the bottom shell of the reducer housing. At this time, the top shell of the reducer housing is lifted together with the bottom shell of the reducer housing under the action of gravity. During the process of the two groups of clamping arms gradually approaching the reducer housing and clamping it, the two groups of clamping arms can adapt to reducer housings of different widths and perform clamping, with a wider application range;

[0021] Through the cooperation of the rotating cylinder and the telescopic cylinder, during the process of the fixed disk moving along the direction of the lead screw, the gear drives the rotating cylinder to rotate on the fixed disk, and the rotating cylinder can drive the telescopic cylinder to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the annular brush to rotate. While the annular brush and the fixed disk move along the path of the lead screw and rotate at the same time, a good cleaning effect on the side of the reducer housing with openings is achieved, and the seams on this side are cleaned under the moving action, facilitating the subsequent installation of the sealing ring and bearing inside the opening of the reducer housing. At the same time, the lead screw can drive the fixed disk to move to a position aligned with the opening of the reducer housing for subsequent processing. Compared with the existing reducer housing welding and clamping robot, the manual cleaning work for installing the sealing ring and welding the seams is omitted, which is more time-saving and labor-saving;

[0022] Through the cooperation of the clamping arms and the arc-shaped plates, after the inner support assembly expands to align the bottom shell and the top shell of the reducer housing, the reducer housing welding robot can move the aligned reducer housing to the welding table. At this time, the welding table is operated to weld the two inconveniently fixed sides first. After the welding of these two sides is completed, the two groups of clamping arms can be loosened to place the reducer housing on the welding table, and the fixture on the welding table is used to fix the welded two sides, facilitating the welding of the seams on the two un-welded sides. Without manual calibration, it is beneficial to improve the welding accuracy at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A spring 609 is arranged in the rotating cylinder 601. Both ends of the spring 609 are respectively fixedly connected with the rotating cylinder 601 and the telescopic cylinder 602.

[0045] Combined with the above preferred embodiments, the following is the entire working process and working principle of the above embodiments:

[0046] The initial state is as follows:

[0047] Cylinder 1 502 is not retracted, slider 1 301 is located near the edge of the clamping seat 2, thereby driving the two groups of clamping arms 302 to be in an open state. Cylinder 2 506 is not retracted, so that the sliding plate 508 is located at the end of the chute 3 507 away from cylinder 2 506, so that the sliders 4 509 on both sides of the sliding plate 508 are located at positions away from cylinder 2 506. The slider 4 509 drives the fixed disk 304 to be in a position close to the chute 2 403 through the fixed rod 510 and the mounting disk 511. The lead screw 1 401 does not rotate, so that the central shaft 305 does not rotate. The sliding shaft 308 is located at the end of the chute 1 307 close to the central shaft 305. The slider 2 309 is located on the side of the guide rail 310 close to the central shaft 305. The spring 609 extends, so that the telescopic cylinder 602 extends out of the rotating cylinder 601. The limit block 2 608 is located at the end of the limit groove 2 607 close to the telescopic cylinder 602.

[0048] The working state is as follows:

[0049] Pick up the reducer housing: When placing the reducer housing on the welding table, a fixture is needed for transfer. When the clamping seat 2 moves above the reducer housing to be picked up, at this time, the two cylinders 1 502 are started, respectively driving the two connecting plates 501 to slide towards the middle of the clamping seat 2, so that the cylinder 1 502 drives the clamping arms 302 to slide towards the middle of the clamping seat 2 through the connecting plate 501 and the slider 1 301, so that the two groups of clamping arms 302 gradually move towards the reducer housing from both sides of the reducer housing and gradually clamp the bottom shell of the reducer housing. At this time, the top shell of the reducer housing and the bottom shell of the reducer housing are picked up together. During the process that the two groups of clamping arms 302 gradually approach the reducer housing and pick it up, the two groups of clamping arms 302 can adapt to reducer housings of different widths and pick them up, with a wider application range.

[0050] Clean the joint of the reducer housing:

[0051] After the two groups of clamping arms 302 approach the reducer housing and clamp the reducer housing, since the sliding seat 504 moves synchronously with the slider 301 under the action of the first cylinder 502, the second cylinder 506 fixedly installed in the second fixed frame 505 does not contract and the sliding plate 508 does not slide. Therefore, the fourth sliders 509 at both ends of the sliding plate 508 move synchronously with the connecting plate 501 towards the reducer housing, so that the fourth sliders 509 drive the fixed plate 304 to slide towards the middle of the clamping seat 2 through the fixed rod 510 and the mounting disc 511, so that the annular brush 603 on the side of the telescopic cylinder 602 away from the rotating cylinder 601 contacts the side of the reducer housing with the shaft hole. Subsequently, the motor drives the second screw rod 503 to rotate, so that the sliding seat 504 moves under the action of the second screw rod 503, thereby driving the second fixed frame 505 at the bottom of the sliding seat 504 to move, and further driving the fourth sliders 509 on both sides of the sliding plate 508 to move synchronously, so that the fourth sliders 509 drive the fixed plate 304 to move through the fixed rod 510 and the mounting disc 511. During the process of the fixed plate 304 moving along the direction of the second screw rod 503, the gear 604 on the outer arc surface of the rotating cylinder 601 and the rack 606 fixed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 605 are meshed and connected, and the gear 604 drives the rotating cylinder 601 to rotate on the fixed plate 304, and under the limiting action of the second limiting block 608 and the second limiting groove 607, the rotating cylinder 601 drives the telescopic cylinder 602 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the annular brush 603 to rotate, and further rotating while the annular brush 603 and the fixed plate 304 move along the path of the second screw rod 503, achieving a good cleaning effect on the side of the reducer housing with the opening, and cleaning the seam on this side under the moving action, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation of the sealing ring and the bearing in the opening of the reducer housing. At the same time, the second screw rod 503 can drive the fixed plate 304 to move to a position aligned with the opening of the reducer housing, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing. Compared with the existing reducer housing welding and clamping robot, the manual cleaning work of installing the sealing ring and welding the seam is omitted, which is more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0052] Align the reducer housing through internal bracing:

[0053] When the cleaning of the side of the reducer housing with openings is completed and the next step of processing is required, the second cylinder 506 starts and contracts, driving the sliding plate 508 to slide towards one end close to the second cylinder 506 in the third chute 507, thereby driving the slider fours 509 on both sides of the sliding plate 508 to slide towards the second cylinder 506. Further, under the action of the fixed rod 510 and the mounting plate 511, the fixed disk 304 is driven to approach the reducer housing further, causing the bristles on the annular brush 603 in contact with the reducer housing to gradually bend. Subsequently, the annular brush 603 contacts the reducer housing, and when the fixed disk 304 approaches the reducer housing further and the reducer housing is clamped and fixed, the annular brush 603 is subjected to a squeezing action, pushing the telescopic cylinder 602 towards the rotating cylinder 601, causing the telescopic cylinder 602 to retract into the rotating cylinder 601 and simultaneously compressing the compression spring 609. During the process of the fixed disk 304 approaching the reducer housing and the telescopic cylinder 602 retracting into the rotating cylinder 601, the rotating disk 306 aligned with the opening of the reducer housing synchronously extends into the opening of the reducer housing. And during the process of the rotating disk 306 entering, the first lead screw 401 fixedly connected to the central shaft 305 and the insertion rod 402 move synchronously under the drive of the fixed disk 304. At this time, the lead screw nut 408 is fixed due to the connection of the connecting rod 407 and the slider three 404, and the fixed disk 304 cannot rotate due to the connection of the mounting plate 511 and the fixed rod 510. Thus, when the first lead screw 401 slides towards the reducer housing under the drive of the fixed disk 304, the first lead screw 401 rotates under the thread action with the fixed lead screw nut 408, thereby driving the central shaft 305 to rotate. The rotation of the central shaft 305 causes the sliding shaft 308 to slide towards one end far from the central shaft 305 in the first chute 307, causing the four sliding shafts 308 to spread in cooperation with the first chute 307. Thus, through the limit cooperation of the slider two 309 and the guide rail 310, the arc-shaped block 311 is driven to linearly spread around the rotating disk 306, causing the arc-shaped block 311 to contact the inner arc surface of the opening of the reducer housing. And during the process of the four arc-shaped blocks 311 spreading, the inner arc surface of the opening of the reducer housing gradually fits with the circle formed by the four arc-shaped blocks 311. During this process, since the bottom shell of the reducer housing is fixed under the action of the fixed disk 304, the top shell of the reducer housing moves during the process of the arc-shaped blocks 311 spreading, and the openings of the bottom shell and the top shell of the reducer are aligned. When the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 311 are tightened from the two side openings of the reducer housing, the top shell of the reducer housing is completely aligned with the bottom shell of the reducer housing. Compared with the reducer housing welding and clamping robot in the prior art, during the clamping process, the uneven sides with reinforcing ribs of the bottom shell and the top shell of the reducer housing can be aligned, facilitating subsequent welding work and improving the welding accuracy at the same time.

[0054] Weld the uneven side seams of the reducer housing:

[0055] Since the housing of the speed reducer has reinforcing ribs and the uneven ends are difficult to achieve precise alignment under the action of conventional jigs, it is easy to affect the welding precision and manual correction is required, which brings inconvenience. Therefore, after the inner support assembly is expanded to align the bottom shell and the top shell of the speed reducer housing, the speed reducer housing welding robot can move the aligned speed reducer housing to the welding table. At this time, the welding table is operated to first weld the two sides that are not easy to fix. After the welding of these two sides is completed, the two sets of clamping arms 302 are loosened and the speed reducer housing is placed on the welding table, and the fixture of the welding table is used to fix the welded two sides, so as to facilitate the welding of the seams on the two sides that have not been welded. Without manual correction, it is beneficial to improve the welding precision.

[0056] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
