Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and in particular to a laser welding machine for tubes used for sports equipment. Background Art

[0002] At a time when the global sports industry is booming, my country's sporting goods manufacturing industry has demonstrated strong resilience and broad prospects. The manufacturing of sports equipment involves a variety of processes, and welding is a key link.

[0003] Laser welding, a key application, offers high quality, high strength, high precision, low cost, and automated processes, bringing new hope for transformative progress in the processing of sports equipment tubing. Laser welding utilizes a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source, melting the workpiece through heat conduction to form a specific molten pool. This welding method offers a narrow weld width, a minimal heat-affected zone, and minimal deformation, effectively ensuring weld quality. It is particularly suitable for welding sports equipment tubing requiring extremely high precision. Furthermore, laser welding boasts high speeds, significantly improving production efficiency and meeting growing market demand.

[0004] In the existing parallel ladder welding, it is necessary to frequently replace different clamps for the cross tubes (5) of different inner and outer diameters and the fixing rods (6) of different cross-sectional length and width dimensions. This operation is cumbersome, not only wasting time and increasing labor intensity, but also increasing the procurement cost and storage management cost of the clamps, reducing the versatility and production efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, due to the frequent replacement of the clamps, there may be certain errors in the clamping and positioning of the cross tubes (5), resulting in different spacing between the cross tubes (5), affecting the accuracy and consistency of the welding, and thus reducing the quality of the product.

[0005] At the same time, the welding position of the fixing rod (6) and the transverse tube (5) cannot be flexibly adjusted, which cannot meet diverse welding requirements, thus limiting the design and manufacture of the product.

[0006] During the welding process, existing equipment often does not have sudden obstacle detection. When an obstacle appears, the laser welding equipment cannot respond in time and is prone to collision with the obstacle. This will not only damage the equipment and increase maintenance costs, but may also pose a threat to the safety of the operator, posing a major safety hazard.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention designs a laser welding machine for tubes used in sports equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The inner side walls of the guide plates 35 are fixedly connected to the outer side walls of the positioning baffles 36. The setting direction of the guide plates 35 is gradually opened from the inside to the outside. The two front groups of guide plates 35 cooperate to guide a group of fixed rods 6 and are blocked and positioned by the two front groups of positioning baffles 36. The two rear groups of guide plates 35 cooperate to guide a group of fixed rods 6 and are blocked and positioned by the two rear groups of positioning baffles 36.

[0056] The laser welding assembly 4 includes a linear module 41, a mounting plate 42, a robotic arm 43 and a laser welding head 44. The linear module 41 is fixedly mounted on the inner top surface of the mounting top frame 12. The upper end surface of the mounting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the slider on the linear module 41. The lower end surface of the mounting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the robotic arm 43. The laser welding head 44 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the robotic arm 43. The millimeter wave radar 7 is fixedly mounted on the rear side wall of the turntable at the upper end of the robotic arm 43.

[0057] When the present invention is in use, the equidistant linear module 21 is in a retracted state. At this time, multiple groups of transverse tubes 5 are placed on the auxiliary support plates 225 in the multiple groups of clamping assemblies 22 in sequence. At this time, the placement only needs to be placed in the same position without moving, which improves the loading efficiency. Then, the spline shaft 232 is driven by the reduction motor 231, and the spline shaft 232 drives multiple groups of spline sleeves 222. The spline sleeves 222 drive the bidirectional threaded sleeves 223 to rotate. The opposite threads on the bidirectional threaded sleeves 223 drive the two groups of movable plates 227 to move closer to the center. The first slide bar 224 guides the movable plate 227 when it moves. The movable plate 227 drives the clamping block 229. The two groups of clamping blocks 229 cooperate to clamp and limit a group of transverse tubes 5. The multiple groups of clamping assemblies 22 are arranged at equal intervals by the equidistant linear module 21.

[0058] Then, the fixing rod 6 is guided by the guide plate 35, and the inner side of the fixing rod 6 is limited by the positioning baffle 36 to ensure the loading position of the fixing rod 6. The transmission main shaft 321 is driven by the double-output shaft motor 31, and the transmission main shaft 321 drives the first bevel gear 323, the first bevel gear 323 drives the second bevel gear 324, and the second bevel gear 324 drives the transmission countershaft 322 to rotate on the first mounting ear 16, and the transmission countershaft 322 drives the worm 325, the worm 325 drives the worm gear 326, and the worm gear 326 drives the first threaded rod 333, and the first threaded rod 333 drives the limiting pressure plate 334, and the limiting pressure plate 334 cooperates with the support plate 341 to limit the fixing rod 6;

[0059] When the cross-sectional length and width fixing rod 6 is replaced, the second threaded rod 343 is driven to rotate by driving the turntable 344. The second threaded rod 343 is threadedly connected to the connecting frame 331, thereby driving the support plate 341 to rise. The third sliding rod 342 guides the support plate 341 when it rises, and then the nut 345 is tightened on the second threaded rod 343. The nut 345 contacts the connecting frame 331 to fix the second threaded rod 343 and achieve height adjustment and adaptation of the support plate 341. It is also suitable for adjusting the welding position of the fixing rod 6 and the cross pipe 5 to meet different welding positions.

[0060] After the front welding of the cross tube 5 and the fixed rod 6 is completed, the rotary workbench 13 drives the mounting vertical plate 14 and the mounting horizontal plate 15 to rotate and weld the back sides of the cross tube 5 and the fixed rod 6. The welding can be completed in one time without removing the workpiece for flipping. The linear module 41 drives the mounting plate 42, and the mounting plate 42 drives the robotic arm 43 to move horizontally. The robotic arm 43 drives the laser welding head 44 to weld the cross tube 5 and the fixed rod 6. The millimeter wave radar 7 is used for real-time detection during welding. When sudden obstacles appear, the laser welding component 4 performs intelligent avoidance and triggers path re-planning to protect the equipment from damage. At the same time, it can also prevent personal injuries caused by collisions, thereby ensuring the safety of the welding working environment.
