Abstract

The present invention discloses an all-round intelligent welding system, which relates to the technical field of intelligent welding. A motor is started to drive the pipe fitting to be squeezed toward the limit piece while being clamped, so that the two pipe fittings can be clamped to a predetermined position to prevent the pipe fitting from deviating and affecting the welding. When the two pipe fittings are clamped to the predetermined position, two driving sources are started to make the two pipe fittings move away from each other, and then the electric telescopic rod is started to drive the limit piece to move downward, so that the limit piece will no longer limit the pipe fittings. Then the two pipe fittings are fitted together and welding is performed at this time. At the same time, the motor is started to drive the two pipe fittings to rotate synchronously, so that the two pipe fittings rotate one circle to complete the welding. After the temperature drops, the driving source is started to reverse to drive the limit column to be limited, and then the electric telescopic rod is started to drive the limit piece to reset. Then the motor is started to reverse to drive several clamping parts to release the clamping of the pipe fitting. At the same time, the rotation of the motor drives several guide wheel parts to continuously beat the pipe body to test the welding effect of the pipe body.

At this time, since the several threaded columns 37 cannot continue to slide due to clamping, the rotation of the gear ring 33 drives the several second bevel gears 35 to rotate according to the axis of the pipe fitting 9, so that the several threaded sleeves 36 rotate, drive the protective shell 32 to rotate, so that the two pipe fittings 9 rotate synchronously, by setting the speed and number of rotations of the motor 21, the two pipe fittings 9 rotate one circle, and the welding is completed by the welding gun 7;

[0049] After the temperature drops, the driving source 51 is started to reverse and drive the two clamping components 3 away from each other, so that the limit column 39 is limited, and then the electric telescopic rod 81 is started to drive the limit member 82 to reset, and then the motor 21 is started to reverse and drive the several clamping members 38 to release the clamping of the pipe 9.
