Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of welding equipment, and particularly to an automated shielding layer welding system. Background Art
[0002] For a marine membrane containment system, the LNG (liquefied natural gas) ship storage tank needs to ensure good heat insulation effect and have a certain compressive capacity. Therefore, a shielding layer needs to be laid on the inner wall of the storage tank to improve the storage safety of LNG in the tank.
[0003] Referring to Figure 1 , in the prior art, the surface of the shielding layer 7 is horizontally and vertically staggered and a flower knot 71 is formed at the intersection. The shielding layer 7 is composed of multiple unit modules. During laying, the multiple unit modules are sequentially laid on the bottom wall of the storage tank to form a whole shielding layer 7; then a welding torch is used to weld between adjacent two unit modules to ensure the sealing performance and connection performance.
[0004] However, the traditional welding method is usually manual welding, with low welding efficiency. And when the storage tank is large and there are many welding positions, manual welding is also prone to omission, which further makes the overall sealing performance of the shielding layer poor and the connection unstable. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly automated shielding layer welding system to improve the welding efficiency of the shielding layer and reduce the possibility of omission during the welding process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve the welding efficiency of the shielding layer and reduce the possibility of omission during the welding process, this application provides an automated shielding layer welding system.
[0006] The automated shielding layer welding system provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An automated shielding layer welding system includes a mounting base, a manipulator, and a welding torch. The manipulator is arranged on the mounting base, and the welding torch is installed on the swing arm of the manipulator; a slide rail is arranged at the bottom of the mounting base, and a docking component is arranged at the bottom of the slide rail. The slide rail is detachably installed at the flower knot of the shielding layer through the docking component; a plurality of slide rails are arranged side by side, and a sliding seat is slidably installed on each slide rail. Two sides of the mounting base are respectively lapped on the sliding seats of adjacent two slide rails, and a connection component is arranged between the mounting base and the sliding seat. The mounting base is detachably installed on the sliding seat through the connection component.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, after multiple unit modules are laid into a whole on the bottom wall of the storage tank, the slide rail is installed on the kink of the shielding layer through the docking assembly, and the mounting seat is lapped on the sliding seats of two adjacent slide rails, so that the mounting seat can be slidably installed on the shielding layer to provide a sliding platform for the manipulator. During the welding process of the welding torch, by driving the mounting seat to slide along the length direction of the slide rail, the welding torch can weld the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules. After the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules is welded, the mounting seat is transferred to the sliding seats of two other adjacent slide rails to adjust the position of the mounting seat, so that the welding torch on the manipulator can continue to weld the weld between two other adjacent rows of unit modules; and so on, so that all unit modules are welded to form an integral shielding layer, improving the welding efficiency and reducing the possibility of omission during the welding process. In addition, the welding torch is installed on the swing arm of the manipulator, and by using the flexibility of the manipulator, the moving flexibility of the welding torch is improved, thereby improving the welding efficiency.
[0009] Optionally, there are two mounting seats, the two mounting seats are connected side by side, and the arrangement direction of the mounting seats is the same as the arrangement direction of the slide rails; moving grooves are formed on the upper surfaces of the two mounting seats, and a moving seat is installed at the bottom of the manipulator, and the moving seat slides between the moving grooves of the two mounting seats.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the number of mounting seats is set to two. First, the manipulator is arranged on the mounting seat through the moving seat, and during the welding process, the mounting seat is driven to slide along the length direction of the slide rail, driving the manipulator to slide along the length direction of the slide rail. When the welding torch finishes welding the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules, the other mounting seat is lapped on the sliding seats of two adjacent slide rails, so that the two mounting seats can be connected side by side along the arrangement direction of the slide rails; then the moving seat is pushed to force the moving seat to slide along the moving groove to transfer the moving seat to the newly installed mounting seat to realize the position adjustment of the manipulator. Then the old mounting seat is detached, and the welding torch can continue to weld the weld between two other adjacent rows of unit modules. The detached mounting seat can be reconnected to the rear end of another mounting seat, and the two mounting seats are replaced repeatedly like this, realizing that the manipulator can continuously adjust its position along the arrangement direction of the slide rails, greatly improving the transfer convenience of the manipulator.
[0011] Optionally, one side of each of the two mounting seats away from each other is lapped on the sliding seats of different slide rails, and one side of the two mounting seats close to each other is lapped on the sliding seat of the same slide rail; two insertion rods are installed on each sliding seat, and insertion grooves for the insertion rods to be inserted are formed on the bottom wall of the mounting seat; when the two insertion rods on the same sliding seat are respectively inserted into the insertion grooves of the two mounting seats, the two mounting seats are in mutual contact.
[0012] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the plug-in cooperation between the plug-in rod of the sliding seat and the plug-in groove of the mounting seat can realize the positioning of the overlapping position of the mounting seat, so that the two mounting seats can fit each other, ensuring that the moving grooves of the two mounting seats can be connected to each other, and further ensuring that the moving seat of the manipulator can be transferred from one of the mounting seats to the other.
[0013] Optionally, a plug-in sleeve for plugging in the plug-in rod is installed in the plug-in slot, and the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in sleeve is provided with an embedding hole, and the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in rod is provided with an embedding groove, and when the plug-in rod is inserted into the plug-in sleeve, the embedding hole is connected to the embedding slot; the connecting component includes a limit sleeve, a limit ball, a return spring and an unlocking piece, the limit sleeve is slidably installed on the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in sleeve, and the limit ball is embedded in the embedding hole, and when the limit sleeve covers the embedding hole, the limit sleeve pushes the limit ball and forces the limit ball to be partially embedded in the embedding groove; the return spring is installed between the limit sleeve and the inner wall of the plug-in slot, and the return spring forces the limit sleeve to cover the embedding hole, and the unlocking piece is provided with a mounting seat for driving the limit sleeve to disengage from the embedding hole.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the mounting seat, firstly, the locking member is used to force the limiting sleeve to be separated from the embedding hole, and then the two sides of the mounting seat are overlapped on the sliding seats of the two adjacent slide rails, so that the plug-in rod of the sliding seat is inserted into the plug-in sleeve of the plug-in slot; then, the pull on the limiting sleeve is released, and the limiting sleeve covers the embedding hole under the action of the reset spring. During this process, the inner wall of the limiting sleeve pushes the limiting ball, thereby forcing the limiting ball to be partially embedded in the embedding slot, thereby realizing a quick connection between the sliding seat and the mounting seat. When disassembling, the sliding seat and the mounting seat can be separated by simply forcing the limiting sleeve to be separated from the embedding hole, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the mounting seat.
[0015] Optionally, two opposite side walls of the mounting seat are provided with avoidance gaps, in which a holding rod for human hand holding is installed; the unlocking member includes a first unlocking rod, one end of which is connected to a limiting sleeve, and the other end passes through the avoidance gap and extends to the bottom of the holding rod, and when the first unlocking rod is displaced upward and abuts against the holding rod, the limiting sleeve is disengaged from the embedding hole.
[0016] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the arrangement of the avoidance notch and the holding rod makes it convenient for the operator to pick up and place the mounting seat; when the mounting seat needs to be disassembled, the operator's palms hold the first unlocking rod and the holding rod at the same time and apply a certain gripping force to force the first unlocking rod to move upward and against the holding rod, thereby driving the limit sleeve to disengage from the embedding hole; at this time, the mounting seat can be taken out by pulling upward, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the mounting seat.
[0017] Optionally, a moving bar is provided on the bottom wall of the moving seat, and the moving bar is embedded in the moving groove; two limiting holes are formed in the bottom wall of the moving groove, and the two limiting holes are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving groove; each limiting hole is threadedly connected with a limiting bolt, and the two limiting bolts are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the moving bar.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the moving bar of the moving seat moves to the moving groove of the mounting seat, the two limiting bolts are sequentially screwed into the limiting holes of the moving groove, so that the two limiting bolts respectively limit both ends of the moving bar, reducing the possibility of the free sliding of the moving bar along the length direction of the moving groove.
[0019] Optionally, a moving bar is provided on the bottom wall of the moving seat, and the moving bar is embedded in the moving groove; limiting grooves are formed at both ends of the moving groove, and a limiting block is slidably mounted in each limiting groove. A limiting spring is arranged in the limiting groove, and the limiting spring forces the limiting block to partially extend into the moving groove, and a limiting area is formed between the two limiting blocks; first guiding surfaces are provided on the side walls of the two limiting blocks facing away from each other. When the moving bar moves from the notch of the moving groove towards the limiting area, the moving bar pushes the limiting block through the first guiding surface and forces the limiting block to sink into the limiting groove.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process that the moving bar of the moving seat moves from the moving groove of one mounting seat into the moving groove of another mounting seat, the moving bar pushes the limiting block through the first guiding surface, forcing the limiting block to sink into the limiting groove. As the moving seat continues to move, when the moving bar moves into the limiting area, the limiting block resets under the action of the limiting spring, so that the two limiting blocks respectively limit both ends of the moving bar, reducing the possibility of the free sliding of the moving bar along the length direction of the moving groove and improving the connection stability between the moving seat and the mounting seat.
[0021] Optionally, communication grooves are formed in two opposite side walls of the mounting seat, and the two communication grooves are correspondingly arranged with the two limiting grooves. Each communication groove communicates with the corresponding limiting groove; the limiting block has a second guiding surface, and a second unlocking rod is slidably mounted in the communication groove. One end of the second unlocking rod extends into the limiting groove and abuts against the second guiding surface of the limiting block, and the limiting spring forces one end of the second unlocking rod away from the second guiding surface to partially extend out of the communication groove; a third guiding surface is provided at one end of the second unlocking rod away from the second guiding surface, and the third guiding surface is used for abutting against another mounting seat. When the other mounting seat is lapped on the sliding seat from top to bottom, the other mounting seat pushes the second unlocking rod through the third guiding surface and forces the limiting block to sink into the limiting groove through the second unlocking rod.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the position of the manipulator needs to be adjusted, a new mounting seat is installed on the sliding seats of two adjacent slide rails, so that the two mounting seats are connected side by side; during the lowering process of the new mounting seat, the third guiding surface of the second unlocking rod of the old mounting seat is pushed, and the second unlocking rod can force the limiting block of the old mounting seat to sink through the second guiding surface, so as to release the limiting effect on the moving strip of the moving seat, enabling the moving seat to move from the moving groove of the old mounting seat to the moving groove of the new mounting seat, thereby improving the operation convenience of the overall structure.
[0023] Optionally, the length of the moving strip is adapted to the distance between the two limiting blocks; a plurality of walking wheels are rotatably installed at the bottom of the moving strip, and the plurality of walking wheels are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving strip.
[0024] Optionally, the docking assembly includes a bottom plate, a fixed clamp, a movable clamp and a pushing member. The bottom plate is arranged on the bottom wall of the slide rail, the fixed clamp is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the bottom plate, the movable clamp is slidably installed on the bottom wall of the bottom plate, and a clamping area for the knot of the shielding layer to be embedded is formed between the fixed clamp and the movable clamp; the pushing member is arranged on the bottom plate for pushing the movable clamp to slide.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the slide rail is laid, the bottom plate is placed at the knot of the shielding layer, and then the pushing member is used to drive the movable clamp to displace towards one side of the fixed clamp, reducing the size of the clamping area, so that the fixed clamp and the movable clamp jointly clamp the knot of the shielding layer, thereby installing the bottom plate on the shielding layer, providing an installation platform for the slide rail, enabling the slide rail to be erected on the knot of the shielding layer, and improving the disassembly and assembly convenience of the slide rail.
[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] 1. Through the arrangement of the manipulator, the mounting seat and multiple slide rails, after multiple unit modules are laid into a whole surface on the bottom wall of the storage tank, the slide rails are installed on the knots of the shielding layer through the docking assembly, and the mounting seat is lapped on the sliding seats of two adjacent slide rails, enabling the mounting seat to be slidably installed on the shielding layer and providing a sliding platform for the manipulator. During the welding process of the welding torch, by driving the mounting seat to slide along the length direction of the slide rail, the welding torch can weld the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules. After the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules is welded, the mounting seat is transferred to the sliding seats of two other adjacent slide rails to adjust the position of the mounting seat, so that the welding torch on the manipulator can continue to weld the weld between two other adjacent rows of unit modules; and so on, so that all unit modules are welded to form an integral shielding layer, improving the welding efficiency and reducing the possibility of omission during the welding process. In addition, the welding torch is installed on the swing arm of the manipulator, and by utilizing the flexibility of the manipulator, the moving flexibility of the welding torch is improved, thereby improving the welding efficiency;
[0028] 2. By setting up two mounting seats, first the manipulator is set on the mounting seat through the moving seat. The welding process drives the mounting seat to slide along the length direction of the slide rail, driving the manipulator to slide along the length direction of the slide rail. When the welding gun has completed welding the weld between two adjacent rows of unit modules, overlap the other mounting seat on the sliding seat of the two adjacent slide rails so that the two mounting seats can be connected side by side along the arrangement direction of the slide rails; then push the moving seat to force the moving seat to slide along the moving groove to transfer the moving seat to the newly installed mounting seat to achieve the position adjustment of the manipulator. Then remove the old mounting seat, so that the welding gun can continue to weld the weld between the other two adjacent rows of unit modules. The removed mounting seat can be reconnected to the rear end of another mounting seat. The two mounting seats are replaced repeatedly in this way, so that the manipulator can continue to adjust its position along the arrangement direction of the slide rail, greatly improving the convenience of transferring the manipulator;
[0029] 3. Through the setting of the first unlocking rod, when the mounting base needs to be disassembled, the operator's palm holds the first unlocking rod and the holding rod at the same time and applies a certain gripping force to force the first unlocking rod to move upward and resist against the holding rod, thereby driving the limit sleeve to disengage from the embedding hole; at this time, the mounting base can be taken out by pulling upward, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the mounting base.

Detailed implementation manners
[0043] The following is a further detailed description of the present application in conjunction with Figures 2 - 12 to the present application.
[0044] Embodiment 1:
[0045] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic welding system for a shielding layer.
[0046] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , an automatic welding system for a shielding layer includes a mounting base 1, a manipulator 2 and a welding torch 3. Avoiding notches 14 are formed on both opposite side walls of the mounting base 1, and a holding rod 141 for holding a human hand is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each avoiding notch 14. In this embodiment, the manipulator 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting base 1 (the manipulator 2 is a prior art structure and its structure will not be elaborated too much here), and the welding torch 3 is fixedly installed on the swing arm of the manipulator 2 for welding unit modules so that a whole shielding layer 7 is formed by welding between multiple unit modules.
[0047] Referring to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5, a slide rail 4 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 1, and a plurality of docking components 5 are provided at the bottom of the slide rail 4. The plurality of docking components 5 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the slide rail 4. The slide rail 4 is detachably mounted at the kink 71 of the shielding layer 7 through the docking components 5; in this embodiment, the docking component 5 includes a bottom plate 51, a fixed clamp 52, a movable clamp 53 and a pushing member 54. The bottom plate 51 is mounted on the bottom wall of the slide rail 4 in a bolt connection manner; the fixed clamp 52 is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the bottom plate 51, and the movable clamp 53 is slidably mounted on the bottom wall of the bottom plate 51 and can approach or move away from the fixed clamp 52. A clamping area 55 for the kink 71 of the shielding layer 7 to be inserted is formed between the fixed clamp 52 and the movable clamp 53.
[0048] The pushing member 54 is arranged on the bottom plate 51 for pushing the movable clamp 53 to slide. In this embodiment, the pushing member 54 is arranged as a quick clamp (the quick clamp is a prior art structure and its structure will not be elaborated here); the movable clamp 53 is pushed by the quick clamp to narrow the clamping area 55, so that the fixed clamp 52 and the movable clamp 53 can jointly clamp the kink 71 of the shielding layer 7, so that the slide rail 4 can be erected at the kink 71 of the shielding layer 7.
[0049] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , it should be noted that in this embodiment, a plurality of slide rails 4 are arranged side by side. A sliding seat 41 is slidably mounted on each slide rail 4. The two sides of the mounting base 1 are respectively lapped on the sliding seats 41 of two adjacent slide rails 4; two insertion rods 42 are mounted on each sliding seat 41, and an insertion slot (the insertion slot is not shown in the figure of this embodiment) for the insertion rods 42 to be inserted is formed in the bottom wall of the mounting base 1. Through the insertion cooperation of the insertion rods 42 and the insertion slot, the positioning effect of the mounting base 1 is realized.
[0050] A connecting component 6 is arranged between the mounting base 1 and the sliding seat 41. The mounting base 1 is detachably mounted on the sliding seat 41 through the connecting component 6; in this embodiment, the connecting component 6 includes a connecting nut 65 and a gasket 66. The insertion rod 42 passes through the insertion slot 12 and extends to the top of the mounting base 1. The connecting nut 65 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod 42 and is threadedly connected with the insertion rod 42. The gasket 66 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod 42, and the gasket 66 is located between the connecting nut 65 and the upper surface of the mounting base 1.
[0051] It should be noted that the way to drive the mounting base 1 to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 4 can be manual or electric. The manual form is to pull or push the mounting base 1 by an operator to realize the displacement of the mounting base 1; the electric form can be realized by a linear motor, that is, a linear motor is added between the mounting base 1 and the upper surface of the shielding layer 7 to realize the displacement of the mounting base 1. In this embodiment, the driving mode of the mounting base 1 is manual driving.
[0052] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: After multiple unit modules are laid into a whole on the bottom wall of the storage tank, the slide rail 4 is installed on the flower knot 71 of the shielding layer 7 through the docking assembly 5, and the mounting seat 1 is lapped on the sliding seats 41 of two adjacent slide rails 4, so that the mounting seat 1 can be slidably installed on the shielding layer 7 to provide a sliding platform for the manipulator 2.
[0053] During the welding process of the welding torch 3, by driving the mounting seat 1 to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 4, the welding torch 3 can weld the welds between two adjacent rows of unit modules. After the welds between two adjacent rows of unit modules are welded, the mounting seat 1 is transferred to the sliding seats 41 of two other adjacent slide rails 4 to adjust the position of the mounting seat 1, so that the welding torch 3 on the manipulator 2 can continue to weld the welds between two other adjacent rows of unit modules; and so on, so that all unit modules are welded to form an integral shielding layer 7, improving the welding efficiency and reducing the possibility of omission during the welding process. In addition, the welding torch 3 is installed on the swing arm of the manipulator 2, and by using the flexibility of the manipulator 2, the moving flexibility of the welding torch 3 is improved, thereby improving the welding efficiency.
[0054] Embodiment 2:
[0055] This application embodiment discloses an automatic welding system for a shielding layer.
[0056] The difference between the automatic welding system for a shielding layer disclosed in this application embodiment and Embodiment 1 is as follows:
[0057] Referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 In this embodiment, the number of mounting seats 1 is configured to be two, and the two mounting seats 1 are connected side by side, and the arrangement direction of the mounting seats 1 is the same as the arrangement direction of the slide rails 4; the mutually remote sides of the two mounting seats 1 are respectively lapped on the sliding seats 41 of different slide rails 4, and the mutually close sides of the two mounting seats 1 are lapped on the sliding seats 41 of the same slide rail 4; when the two insertion posts on the same sliding seat 41 are respectively inserted into the insertion slots of the two mounting seats 1, the two mounting seats 1 are mutually fitted.
[0058] Moving grooves 11 are formed in the upper surfaces of the two mounting seats 1, and both ends of the moving grooves 11 extend along the width direction of the slide rail 4; a moving seat 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the manipulator 2, and a moving bar 22 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the moving seat 21, and the moving bar 22 is slidably embedded in the moving groove 11, and the moving seat 21 is slidably installed in the moving groove 11 of the mounting seat 1 through the moving bar 22; when the two mounting seats 1 are connected side by side, the moving grooves 11 of the two mounting seats 1 are mutually communicated, so that the moving seat 21 can slide between the moving grooves 11 of the two mounting seats 1.
[0059] Referring to Figure 7, two limiting holes 111 are formed in the bottom wall of the moving groove 11, and the two limiting holes 111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving groove 11; a limiting bolt 112 is threadedly connected to each limiting hole 111, and the two limiting bolts 112 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the moving strip 22.
[0060] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: The number of mounting seats 1 is set to two. First, the manipulator 2 is arranged on one of the mounting seats 1 (hereinafter, this mounting seat 1 is defined as the old mounting seat) through the moving seat 21. During the welding process, the "old mounting seat" is driven to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 4, driving the manipulator 2 to slide along the length direction of the slide rail 4, so that the welding torch 3 can weld the weld seams between adjacent rows of unit modules.
[0061] After the weld seams between adjacent rows of unit modules are welded, another mounting seat 1 (hereinafter, this mounting seat 1 is defined as the new mounting seat) is lapped on the sliding seats 41 of two adjacent slide rails 4, so that the two mounting seats 1 can be connected side by side along the arrangement direction of the slide rails 4, so that the moving grooves 11 of the two mounting seats 1 communicate with each other; then, the limiting bolt 112 on the side of the "old mounting seat" close to the "new mounting seat" is detached, and then the moving seat 21 can be pushed to transfer the moving seat 21 from the "old mounting seat" to the "new mounting seat", realizing the position adjustment of the manipulator 2.
[0062] Then, the "old mounting seat" is detached from the corresponding slide rail 4, and the "old mounting seat" can be reconnected to the rear end of the "new mounting seat". The two mounting seats 1 are repeatedly replaced in this way, realizing that the manipulator 2 can continuously adjust its position along the arrangement direction of the slide rail 4, greatly improving the transfer convenience of the manipulator 2.
[0063] Embodiment 3:
[0064] This application embodiment discloses a shielding layer automatic welding system.
[0065] The difference between the shielding layer automatic welding system disclosed in this application embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that:
[0066] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , in this embodiment, the insertion slot 12 of the mounting seat 1 is a blind slot (that is, the insertion slot 12 does not penetrate the top wall of the mounting seat 1). The inner diameter of the insertion slot 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the insertion rod 42. An insertion sleeve 13 for the insertion rod 42 to be inserted is installed in the insertion slot 12. A plurality of embedding holes 131 are formed in the outer peripheral wall of the insertion sleeve 13, and the plurality of embedding holes 131 are arranged at intervals around the central axis of the insertion sleeve 13. An embedding groove 421 is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the insertion rod 42, and the embedding groove 421 is annular around the central axis of the insertion rod 42. When the insertion rod 42 is inserted into the insertion sleeve 13, all the embedding holes 131 communicate with the embedding groove 421.
[0067] The connecting component 6 includes a limiting sleeve 61, a limiting ball 62, a return spring 63 and an unlocking member. The limiting sleeve 61 is slidably mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the plugging sleeve 13, and the inner diameter of the limiting sleeve 61 is adapted to the outer diameter of the plugging sleeve 13. A plurality of limiting balls 62 are provided, and the plurality of limiting balls 62 are arranged corresponding to a plurality of embedding holes 131. Each limiting ball 62 is embedded in a corresponding embedding hole 131. When the limiting sleeve 61 covers the embedding hole 131, the limiting sleeve 61 pushes all the limiting balls 62 and forces all the limiting balls 62 to partially embed into the embedding groove 421.
[0068] The return spring 63 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the plugging sleeve 13. One end of the return spring 63 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 61, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the plugging groove 12. Under normal conditions, the return spring 63 forces the limiting sleeve 61 to cover all the embedding holes 131. The unlocking member is arranged on the mounting seat 1 to drive the limiting sleeve 61 to disengage from the embedding hole 131.
[0069] Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , a through groove 121 communicating with the avoidance notch 14 is formed in the inner wall of the plugging groove 12. In this embodiment, the unlocking member is set as a first unlocking rod 64. One end of the first unlocking rod 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting sleeve 61, and the other end passes through the through groove 121 into the avoidance notch 14 and extends to the bottom of the holding rod 141. When the first unlocking rod 64 moves upward and abuts against the holding rod 141, the limiting sleeve 61 disengages from the embedding hole 131.
[0070] The implementation principle of Embodiment 3 of this application is as follows: When the mounting seat 1 is installed, first, the limiting sleeve 61 is forced to disengage from the embedding hole 131 through the first unlocking rod 64, and then the two sides of the mounting seat 1 are lapped on the sliding seats 41 of two adjacent slide rails 4, so that the plugging rods 42 of the sliding seats 41 are inserted into the plugging sleeves 13 of the plugging groove 12. Then, the first unlocking rod 64 is released, and the limiting sleeve 61 covers the embedding hole 131 under the action of the return spring 63. During this process, the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 61 pushes the limiting balls 62, so as to force the limiting balls 62 to partially embed into the embedding groove 421, realizing the rapid connection between the sliding seat 41 and the mounting seat 1.
[0071] During disassembly, the operator's palm holds the first unlocking rod 64 and the holding rod 141 at the same time and applies a certain holding force to force the first unlocking rod 64 to move upward and abut against the holding rod 141, which can drive the limiting sleeve 61 to disengage from the embedding hole 131. At this time, by pulling upward, the mounting seat 1 can be taken out, greatly improving the disassembly and assembly convenience between the mounting seat 1 and the sliding seat 41.
[0072] Embodiment 4:
[0073] This application embodiment discloses an automatic welding system for a shielding layer.
[0074] The difference between the automated shielding layer welding system disclosed in the embodiments of the present application and that in Embodiment 2 lies in that:
[0075] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 in this embodiment, an installation groove 222 is formed at the bottom of the moving bar 22, and a plurality of traveling wheels 221 are rotatably installed in the installation groove 222. The plurality of traveling wheels 221 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving bar 22, and the traveling wheels 221 abut against the bottom wall of the moving groove 11.
[0076] A limiting groove 113 is formed at the bottom wall of the moving groove 11 of each mounting seat 1, and the two limiting grooves 113 are symmetrically distributed at the two ends of the moving groove 11; a limiting block 15 is slidably installed in each limiting groove 113, a limiting spring 16 is installed in the limiting groove 113, one end of the limiting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 15, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 113. The limiting spring 16 forces a part of the limiting block 15 to extend into the moving groove 11. The length of the moving bar 22 is adapted to the distance between the two limiting blocks 15, and a limiting area 151 is formed between the two limiting blocks 15.
[0077] The side walls of the two limiting blocks 15 facing away from each other both have a first guiding surface 152. When the moving bar 22 moves from the notch of the moving groove 11 towards the limiting area 151, the moving bar 22 pushes the limiting block 15 through the first guiding surface 152 and forces the limiting block 15 to sink into the limiting groove 113.
[0078] Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 communication grooves 114 are formed in the two opposite side walls of the mounting seat 1, the two communication grooves 114 are arranged corresponding to the two limiting grooves 113, and each communication groove 114 communicates with the corresponding limiting groove 113; the limiting block 15 has a second guiding surface 153, a second unlocking rod 17 is slidably installed in the communication groove 114, one end of the second unlocking rod 17 extends into the limiting groove 113 and abuts against the second guiding surface 153 of the limiting block 15, and the limiting spring 16 forces one end of the second unlocking rod 17 away from the second guiding surface 153 to partially extend out of the communication groove 114; an unlocking ball head 172 is integrally formed at one end of the second unlocking rod 17 away from the second guiding surface 153, and the unlocking ball head 172 has a third guiding surface 171 for abutting against another mounting seat 1 (the "new mounting seat" in Embodiment 2).
[0079] When the "new mounting seat" is lapped on the sliding seat 41 from top to bottom, the "new mounting seat" pushes the second unlocking rod 17 of the "old mounting seat" through the third guiding surface 171, and forces the limiting block 15 of the "old mounting seat" to sink into the limiting groove 113 through the second unlocking rod 17; at the same time, the "old mounting seat" also pushes the second unlocking rod 17 of the "new mounting seat", forcing the limiting block 15 of the "new mounting seat" to sink into the corresponding limiting groove 113.
[0080] The implementation principle of Embodiment 4 of this application is as follows: When the position of the manipulator 2 needs to be adjusted, the "new mounting base" is installed on the sliding seats 41 of two adjacent slide rails 4 so that the two mounting bases 1 are connected side by side; during the lowering process of the "new mounting base", under the action of the second unlocking rod 17, the limiting blocks 15 of the "old mounting base" and the "new mounting base" that are close to each other sink into the corresponding limiting grooves 113, enabling the moving seat 21 to move from the moving groove 11 of the "old mounting base" to the moving groove 11 of the "new mounting base". After the transfer of the moving seat 21 is completed, the "old mounting base" is detached, and the limiting block 15 of the "new mounting base" can automatically reset, thereby limiting the moving seat 21 in the moving groove 11 of the "new mounting base" and improving the operation convenience of the overall structure.
[0081] The above are the preferred embodiments of this application. Without restricting the protection scope of this application accordingly, therefore: All equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application shall be covered within the protection scope of this application.
