Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bicycle welding, and more specifically to a bicycle processing and welding device and process. Background Art

[0002] During the bicycle manufacturing process, the bicycle frame bears the weight of the entire vehicle and various components. It is a very critical step in the bicycle frame manufacturing process. It connects various pipes together to form a sturdy and durable frame to ensure the overall structural strength and rigidity of the bicycle. At present, the various parts of the bicycle frame are mainly formed into a whole by welding.

[0003] A bicycle frame mainly includes a head tube, a cross tube, an oblique tube and a seat tube. The head tube is used to connect the front fork and fix the handlebars. The cross tube is horizontally or slightly tilted to connect the head tube, mainly to increase the overall rigidity. The oblique tube is one of the parts that bear the greatest stress in the frame. Therefore, when the various parts are welded and assembled, the welding between the cross tube and the oblique tube and the head tube is particularly important. When welding, the ends of the cross tube and the oblique tube need to be welded and fixed to the sides of the head tube respectively.

[0004] In the prior art, the welding of bicycle frames is often performed by placing the frame pipes flat on a workbench, welding the side of the pipe joint facing upward first, and then turning the pipe over to weld the other side after welding. Therefore, when the ends of the crossbeam tube and the oblique tube are welded to the side of the head tube, in order to improve the welding efficiency, the crossbeam tube, the oblique tube and the head tube are placed flat on the workbench together for fixing, and the ends of the crossbeam tube and the oblique tube are respectively pressed against the side of the head tube, so that the welding and fixing between the crossbeam tube and the oblique tube and the head tube can be completed at the same time. However, in order to form a more compact geometric structure in the front triangle area of ​​the bicycle frame, improve the rigidity of the frame, and make the bicycle more stable and direct when operating, it is usually necessary to set the welding ends of the crossbeam tube and the oblique tube closer. In addition, during the welding process of the bicycle frame made of magnesium alloy, due to the high thermal conductivity and low melting point of magnesium alloy, it is easy to cause thermal expansion deformation at the welding point between the crossbeam tube and the oblique tube and the head tube due to the heat during welding, resulting in problems affecting the welding quality.

[0038] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0039] Refer to the instruction manual Figures 1 to 6 A bicycle processing and welding device is used for welding and fixing a head tube 101 and a side tube 102, wherein the side tube 102 includes a crossbeam tube 1021 and an oblique tube 1022, and comprises: a workbench 1, on which are arranged:

[0040] The fixing mechanism 2 is used to fix the head pipe 101 and the side pipe 102, and make the end of the side pipe 102 fit with the side of the head pipe 101;

[0041] The pressure applying mechanism 4 includes a pressure applying plate 42 that can move linearly. The pressure applying plate 42 is used to apply pressure to the side tube 102 after the side tube 102 is fixed. The pressure is applied from the end of the side tube 102 to the side of the head tube 101, and the pressure is perpendicular to the side of the side tube 102;

[0042] The welding mechanism 5 is used to weld and fix the end of the side pipe 102 to the side of the head pipe 101;

[0043] The flipping mechanism 3 is used to flip the head pipe 101 and the side pipe 102 .

[0044] It should be noted that the fixing mechanism 2 can be mainly used to fix the head pipe 101 and the side pipe 102, and the side pipe 102 includes a cross beam pipe 1021 and an oblique pipe 1022, and the ends of the cross beam pipe 1021 and the oblique pipe 1022 need to be fitted with the side of the head pipe 101 to ensure that the cross beam pipe 1021 and the oblique pipe 1022 are in close contact with the head pipe 101, and to avoid displacement of the joint between the ends of the cross beam pipe 1021 and the oblique pipe 1022 and the side of the head pipe 101 to affect the welding quality. , and the welding mechanism 5 can be driven by a robot arm to move along the trajectory of the joint between the ends of the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the side of the head tube 101 for welding. The flipping mechanism 3 is mainly used to flip the fixed crossbeam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101, and the flipping can be driven by a motor. The linear movement of the pressure plate 42 can be driven by a hydraulic cylinder to ensure the stable connection between the joints between the ends of the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the side of the head tube 101.

[0045] The specific implementation scenario is as follows: during welding, the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are first fixed by the fixing mechanism 2, and the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 are fitted with the side of the head tube 101, and then the pressure plate 42 is driven to move linearly to apply pressure to the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022, so that the joints between the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are always kept in a close contact state, and then the welding mechanism 5 welds the joints between the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, since the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are in a flat state when they are fixed, the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are first welded and fixed at the joint facing the upper part by the welding mechanism 5, and then the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are turned over by the turning mechanism 3, and then the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are welded at the other joint. During the welding process, the pressure-applying mechanism 4 applies pressure to the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022, so that the joints between the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 can always remain in close contact with each other, thereby avoiding the problem that the joints between the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are deformed due to the heat during welding, resulting in separation of the joints between the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101, thereby affecting the welding quality.

[0046] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 3The fixing mechanism 2 includes a head pipe fixing assembly 21 and a side pipe fixing assembly 22 , which are used to fix the head pipe 101 and the side pipe 102 respectively, and make the end of the side pipe 102 fit with the side of the head pipe 101 .

[0047] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 3 The head pipe fixing assembly 21 includes a mounting seat 211, which is placed on the surface of the workbench 1, and a power component 212 is installed on the workbench 1. The output end of the power component 212 is hinged with a connecting shaft 213, and the end of the connecting shaft 213 extends into the mounting seat 211 and is fixedly installed with a support plate 214. The head pipe 101 is placed in the mounting seat 211, and the two ends of the head pipe 101 are respectively abutted against the inner wall of the mounting seat 211 and the support plate 214.

[0048] It should be noted that the power component 1 212 is a cylinder, which is used to place the head pipe 101 in the mounting seat 211 and then drive the abutment plate 214 to move toward the direction of the head pipe 101 through the cylinder, so that the abutment plate 214 is pressed against the head pipe 101, thereby fixing the head pipe 101.

[0049] It should also be noted that, since the output end of the cylinder is hinged to the connecting shaft 213, after preliminary welding, when the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are flipped, the cylinder can be kept stationary through the hinged setting of the output end of the power component 212 and the connecting shaft 213, thereby avoiding the problem of the cylinder moving synchronously with the flipping, which would affect the normal use of the cylinder.

[0050] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 3 The side tube fixing assembly 22 includes a fixing plate 221, a slide groove 222 is opened on the fixing plate 221, a slider 223 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 222, a rubber pad 224 is fixedly arranged on the slider 223, the side tube 102 is placed on the slider 223 and fixed by the rubber pad 224, and an elastic member 225 is arranged on one side of the slider 223.

[0051] It should be noted that the elastic member 225 is a spring. When fixing the side tube 102, first pull the slider 223 to stretch the spring, then place the side tube 102 in the slider 223, fix the side tube 102 through the rubber pad 224, and make the end of the side tube 102 fit with the slider 223, then release the slider 223, and make it return to its original position through the elastic deformation of the spring, and drive the side tube 102 to move in the direction close to the head tube 101, so that the end of the side tube 102 can fit with the side of the head tube 101. In addition, a notch 2211 is provided on the fixing plate 221, so that after the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are turned over, the seams between the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 can leak through the notch 2211, so that they do not hinder the welding operation.

[0052] It should also be noted that since the side tube 102 includes a cross tube 1021 and an oblique tube 1022 , the cross tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 can be fixed by the side tube fixing assembly 22 , and their ends can be fitted with the head tube 101 .

[0053] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 4 The flip mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, which is rotatably arranged on the workbench 1, and one end of the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 211, and a power component 2 32 is installed on the workbench 1, and a driving gear 33 is installed on the output end of the power component 2 32, and a driven gear 34 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 31, and the driving gear 33 is meshed with the driven gear 34.

[0054] It should be noted that the power component 2 32 is a motor, which drives the driving gear 33 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission of the driving gear 33 and the driven gear 34, it can drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the driven gear 34. Since the end of the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 211, and the side tube fixing assembly 22 is arranged on the fixing plate 221 fixedly arranged between the mounting seat 211, when the motor is driven, the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 can be flipped at the same time.

[0055] In the above technical solution, pressure is applied to the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 by a pressure plate 42 that can move linearly, so that the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 can always keep in close contact with the side of the head tube 101. However, after the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are initially welded, the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 need to be turned over to facilitate welding of another part of the seam between the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101. If this is achieved by driving the pressure plate 42 to move with a hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder needs to move with the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101. The head pipe 101 is flipped over, but during the use of the hydraulic cylinder, since the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the pipeline of the hydraulic system, if the pipeline moves with the movement of the hydraulic cylinder, the continuous bending and twisting will cause fatigue and wear of the pipeline, increasing the risk of leakage or breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the hydraulic cylinder always remains in a fixed state. For this purpose, the present invention proposes a specific structure of a pressure mechanism 4, so that under the premise that the hydraulic cylinder always maintains a state, the pressure plate 42 can move with the flipping of the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head pipe 101, and ensure that the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 can always remain in close contact with the side of the head pipe 101.

[0056] For details, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 5 The pressure mechanism 4 also includes a connecting seat 41, which is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 31. A pressure plate 42 is slidably arranged in the connecting seat 41, and an elastic member 2 43 is arranged at one end of the pressure plate 42. A power component 3 44 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, and a round head 45 is installed at the output end of the power component 3 44. An inclined groove 421 is opened on the front side of the pressure plate 42, and the round head 45 is movably contacted with the inner wall of the inclined groove 421, and the round head 45 is collinear with the end of the rotating shaft 31 in the horizontal direction.

[0057] It should be noted that the power component three 44 is a hydraulic cylinder, and the elastic component two 43 is a spring. The hydraulic cylinder drives the round head 45 to move in the direction close to the connecting seat 41, so that the round head 45 extends into the connecting seat 41, and makes the round head 45 contact with the inclined groove 421 provided on the pressure plate 42, and at the same time pushes the pressure plate 42 to move in the direction close to the head tube 101, so that the pressure plate 42 applies a force perpendicular to the head tube 101 to the cross beam tube 1021 and the inclined tube 1022, so as to ensure that the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the inclined tube 1022 can always keep in close contact with the side of the head tube 101, and at the same time can compress the spring, when the cross beam tube 1021, the inclined tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are driven to flip through the flipping mechanism 3 At the same time, since the rotating shaft 31 is fixed to the connecting seat 41, the pressure plate 42 can be driven by the connecting seat 41 to achieve synchronous movement. At the same time, since the round head 45 and the rotating shaft 31 are collinear in the horizontal direction, the hydraulic cylinder and the round head 45 can maintain a fixed position, and the pressure plate 42 can achieve orbital movement with the round head 45 as the center. Under the premise that the hydraulic cylinder always maintains a state, the pressure plate 42 can move with the flipping of the crossbeam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101, and ensure that the ends of the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 can always maintain a close contact with the side of the head tube 101, avoiding the need for synchronous movement of the hydraulic cylinder, which will cause the risk of leakage or damage to the hydraulic cylinder pipeline.

[0058] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 6 The welding mechanism 5 includes a linear drive component 1 51, a linear drive component 2 52 and a welding gun 55. The linear drive component 1 51 and the linear drive component 2 52 constitute a dual-axis moving mechanism.

[0059] It should be noted that both the linear drive component 1 51 and the linear drive component 2 52 can adopt a drive component for driving linear motion such as a screw nut device or a linear motor. Through its linear drive, the position of the welding gun 55 can be adjusted to ensure that the output end of the welding gun 55 can achieve precise welding during welding.

[0060] In the above technical solution, if Fig. 9As shown, the joints between the ends of the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the side surfaces of the head tube 101 are welding tracks. Since the crossbeam tube 1021 is horizontally arranged, the oblique tube 1022 is inclined, and the head tube 101, the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 are all pipe fittings, the welding tracks at the joints are relatively complex. Although the welding gun 55 can be driven to move along the welding track by programming a robot arm to perform welding operations, the robot arm is not suitable for use in small projects due to its high price and maintenance cost. For this reason, the present invention further proposes a linear drive component 53 and a guide mechanism 6 for guiding the welding gun 55, so that the welding gun 55 can realize complex welding track movements without programming operations by a robot arm, thereby greatly reducing production costs.

[0061] For details, please refer to the attached manual. Figures 6 to 8 The welding mechanism 5 also includes a linear drive component three 53, and the linear drive component three 53 includes a support seat 531. A power component four 532 is installed on the support seat 531. A slide seat 533 is installed at the output end of the power component four 532. A guide mechanism 6 is also provided on the slide seat 533. The guide mechanism 6 is used to guide the welding gun 55 so that the welding gun 55 moves along the welding track. The guide mechanism 6 includes a sliding block 61. The sliding block 61 slides horizontally on the slide seat 533. A top seat 62 is vertically slidably provided on the sliding block 61. A vertical shaft 63 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the top seat 62. A ball 631 is installed at the bottom end of the vertical shaft 63. A guide seat 64 is installed on the side of the support seat 531. A track groove 641 is opened on the guide seat 64, and the ball 631 is slidably set in the track groove 641.

[0062] It should be noted that the power component 532 can be a cylinder. In the process of driving the welding gun 55 to move linearly by the cylinder, the vertical shaft 63 can be driven to move synchronously through the top seat 62. Since the ball 631 at the end of the vertical shaft 63 is slidably arranged in the track groove 641, and the track groove 641 and the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the inclined tube 1022 are in the same track as the joints on the side of the head tube 101, the ball 631 can be driven to move in the track groove 641. At the same time, since the sliding block 61 is slidably arranged on the sliding seat 533, and the top seat 62 slides vertically, The vertical shaft 63 is movably arranged on the sliding block 61, and the welding gun 55 is fixedly arranged on the top seat 62. Therefore, the welding gun 55 can realize up, down, left and right movements under the cooperation of the sliding block 61 and the top seat 62. At this time, since the vertical shaft 63 is fixedly connected to the top seat 62, and the ball 631 at the end of the vertical shaft 63 slides in the track groove 641, it can drive the welding gun 55 to move along the track groove 641, so as to realize the welding gun 55 to move along the track of the joint between the end of the cross beam tube 1021 and the inclined tube 1022 and the side of the head tube 101 to perform welding operation.

[0063] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 6 The welding mechanism 5 also includes a linear drive component four 54, the linear drive component four 54 includes a support plate 541, a power component five 542 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, the output end of the power component five 542 is fixedly connected to the support plate 541, and the linear drive component one 51 is installed on the support plate 541.

[0064] It should be noted that there are two trajectory grooves 641, and the two trajectory grooves 641 are mirror-imaged. After the end portions of the crossbeam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 are welded to the joints of the side of the head tube 101 facing upward, the crossbeam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are flipped over. After the flipping is completed, the support plate 541 is driven by the cylinder to drive the welding gun 55 back to the initial position, and then the welding gun 55 is driven to move by the linear drive component 3 53 and the guide mechanism 6 to weld the joints of the other part.

[0065] In the above technical solution, although the distance between the ends of the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 is relatively close, there is still a certain distance between them. Therefore, in order to prevent the welding gun 55 from causing damage to the side of the head pipe 101 during the movement of the welding gun 55 over this distance, the welding gun 55 can be turned off and then turned on again during the movement of the welding gun 55 over this distance to avoid this problem. However, repeated switching on and off will cause the welding area to undergo multiple thermal cycles, resulting in changes in the microstructure of the heat-affected zone, causing deformation of the side of the head pipe 101. Therefore, in this distance, the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head pipe 101 can be moved to a certain distance. The pipe 101 is moved, or the welding gun 55 is moved to make the welding gun 55 away from the head pipe 101 to solve the problem. However, if the crossbeam pipe 1021, the oblique pipe 1022 and the head pipe 101 are moved, since the crossbeam pipe 1021, the oblique pipe 1022 and the head pipe 101 need to be fixed and flipped, and this series of operations need to be driven by a driving component, and it is also necessary to ensure that the driving component does not move with these operations, it is very easy to cause interference in the movement of the crossbeam pipe 1021, the oblique pipe 1022 and the head pipe 101. Therefore, the present invention adopts a method of moving the welding gun 55 to make the welding gun 55 away from the head pipe 101 in this distance.

[0066] For details, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 8 The guide seat 64 is also provided with a guide groove 642 , which is connected to the track groove 641 and is located in the middle of the track groove 641 .

[0067] It should be noted that, by providing a guide groove 642 connected to the trajectory groove 641 on the guide seat 64, when the welding gun 55 moves along the trajectory groove 641, the guide groove 642 can be used to keep the welding gun 55 away from the head pipe 101 during the movement of this distance, so as to avoid the welding gun 55 causing damage to the side of the head pipe 101.

[0068] Refer to the instruction manual Fig.10 , a welding process for bicycle processing and welding equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0069] Step 1: fix the head pipe 101, the cross pipe 1021 and the oblique pipe 1022 by using the head pipe fixing assembly 21 and the side pipe fixing assembly 22, and make the ends of the cross pipe 1021 and the oblique pipe 1022 fit with the side of the head pipe 101;

[0070] Step 2: The pressure mechanism 4 applies pressure to the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 through the pressure plate 42, so that the joints between the cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 are always kept in close contact;

[0071] Step 3: The welding mechanism 5 drives the welding gun 55 to weld the horizontal cross beam tube 1021 and the oblique tube 1022 to the upper weld of the head tube 101. After the welding is completed, the flipping mechanism 3 drives the cross beam tube 1021, the oblique tube 1022 and the head tube 101 to flip;

[0072] Step 4: Finally, the welding mechanism 5 drives the welding gun 55 to weld the cross beam tube 1021 and the inclined tube 1022 to the lower weld of the head tube 101 which is turned upside down.

[0073] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
